We all thought God was an elderly father figure with long white hair, wearing flowing white robes. Little did we know that all along "he" was a "she" and her name was Oprah. She inspires worship and praise and is loved by legions, - earth mother personified in designer clothes, permed hair and fake eye-lashes, generous and charitable and confident. More power to her as she ascends to another plane amid the roar of her faithful. What else can I say? You go, Girl!

Not since O.J. Simpson was aquitted has there been an uproar like this one following the "not guilty" verdict rendered in the Casey Anthony trial. And none are more outraged than the lynch mob of TV legal experts who have been trying this case in the media. Also calling for the head of Casey are the nation’s community of loving mothers who can’t imagine how any woman could harm her own toddler. Emotions have compounded the indignation because the public just can’t deal with how this case assaults the idea that parenthood is a privilege not a burden. To add insult to injury, party girl Casey Anthony was not only a bad mother, but she has been deemed a psychopath a…

Hello, I would like to have my book considered for a review. The Harlem Story, originally written as an integrated, musical screenplay, follows the journey of gifted singers raised in the church, aspiring to sing professionally. The novel incorporates R&B, gospel, and Hip Hop song lyrics and ideas from my script. In 1963, JAMES HARRIS and DIANE SMITH, gifted singers at age six, witness the murder of their parents by the Klan outside their Southern church. AUNT MILLIE, age 52, James' mother's religious aunt, flees with the children back inside the chapel. The House of God is set on fire. They are trapped inside, but a deacon arrives to rescue them. T…

The Help has enjoyed a three week run as the most popular movie in the country. After avoiding it I finally went to see it. It's what I called a "liberal conscience film" in my recent book Faces in the Mirror: Oscar Micheaux and Spike Lee. These films, The Defiant Ones, In the Heat of the Night, Odds Against Tomorrow, Edge of the City, and a dozen like them were popular in the 1950's and 60's. The Help is a well-meaning throw-back in that respect. As in the typical liberal conscience film, the main struggle occurs in the heart/soul/mind of the white protagonist as she tries to overcome racism, resist the blandishments of white skin priveledge, and realize the better angel…

This new movie "THE HELP" caused me to write an essay about why I won't be seeing it. It's published by WOMANIST MUSINGS and I'm posting a link here. I hope that other Black women will read my feelings and add your own. READ ESSAY Click Here

The Hidden Colors: The Untold History of Aboriginal, Moor & African Descent Hidden Colors is a documentary about the real and untold history of people of color around the globe. This film discusses some of the reasons the contributions of African and aboriginal people have been left out of the pages of history. Traveling around the country, the film features scholars, historians, and social commentators who uncovered such amazing facts about things such as: *The original image of Christ *The true story about the Moors *The original people of Asia *The great west African empires *The presence of Africans in America before Columbus *The real reason slavery was e…

Where did this idea of lynching Black people by hanging them from trees come from? What is it's history? Some of you opened this thread and thought I was going to take you back to the 1700s to William Lynch or maybe even the 1400s. Nooooo, when I give you the history of a thing I take you back to it's ORIGIN to it's ROOT! The history of lynching (public execution) people from trees has a history that goes back THOUSANDS of years. The Children of Israel that you read about in the Bible are the Caucasian ("white") race. As historically inaccurate as it may be at times the Old Testament of the Bible is a pretty good account of their exploits as they invaded t…

Contrary to popular believe, the Holy Bible did not sanction slavery, nor contained any elements of slavery as was practiced in the Transatlantic slave trade, where a master has property ownership in another human being. The word slave as implemented according to the slave institutions in America was identified as meaning the white slave master had property ownership in the black slave. The slave was divested of all human and civil rights. The patriarchs of the Old Testament were Hebrew and conducted their lives according to Hebrew law of divine guidance and righteousness and customs as written in primary sources of the Holy Scripture such as the Hebrew Israelite Scrip…

Interesting how a place with so much continuous war and violence is called "The Holy Land".

This is a free share to the New York Times article. By Anna Kodé Anna Kodé reported from Carter G. Woodson’s office home in Washington. Published Feb. 1, 2024Updated Feb. 6, 2024 The origins of Black History Month can be traced back nearly a hundred years to an unassuming, three-story brick rowhouse in Washington. In 1922, Carter G. Woodson, known as “the father of Black history,” bought the home at 1538 Ninth Street NW for $8,000. The home served as the headquarters…

Rest In Peace And Power to our dear brother elder and now ancestor.... The Honorable Quincy D. Jones Jr.

"There were two kind of slaves. There was the house negro and the field negro. The house negro, they lived in the house, with master. They dressed pretty good. They ate good, cause they ate his food, what he left. They lived in the attic or the basement, but still they lived near their master, and they loved their master, more than their master loved himself. They would give their life to save their masters house quicker than their master would. The house negro, if the master said "we got a good house here" the house negro say "yeah, we got a good house here". Whenever the master would said we, he'd say we. That's how you can tell a house negro. If…

By no means am I underestimating white power or it's destructive impact. And we know how large numbers of whites can be galvanized by racist appeals, But the monolithic notion of white unity is a fallacy. Talking and thinking about whites as a unified group ignores whites' self-perception as individuals. It also fails to take class and gender inequality into consideration. More importantly, it disempowers black people fighting for positive social change by focusing on some kind of unattainable " black unity" to counter racism and economic injustice. Because white people are so numerous and relatively well off in most ways as a group compared to black people i…

If you pay close attention to Trump and the Republican rhetoric on immigration......you'll notice that they're starting to focus their aim and target BLACK immigrants like Haitians. At first it was ALL illegal immigrants. Then the focus was on Venezuelan immigrants. Now they are focusing their sights on Haitian immigrants and not distinguishing between the legal ones OR illegal ones. If you also notice...... Through out the years when Trump promised to deport millions of illegal immigrants, he didn't identify any nationality. He simply said "illegals" and left it at that. When asked for specifics on how he'd do it....he wouldn't give an answer. He'd b…

Dr. Sandra Jowers-Barber, assistant professor of history at the University of the District of Columbia interviews Sylvia Y. Cyrus, Executive Director of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History now called the Association for the Study of African American Life and History was founded by Dr. Carter G. Woodson in 1915 in response to the lack of information on the accomplishments of African Americans. Dr. Woodson, who died in 1950, didn't start his formal education until he was 20 years old. From that late academic beginning he went on to become the second African American to earn a PhD f…

As the good Professor often points out, one of the biggest differences between AfroAmericans and White Americans is the fact that we don't have a habit of properly CODIFYING our intellectual and technological inventions. White people LOVE to write things down. The have a habit of document them, then pass along the information. But a lot of our people don't want the bother. Too many of our people look at recording and codifying our inventions and parts of our culture the same way some people look at slipping on a condom during the heat of sex.....taking time to do it breaks the momentum, lol. But failing to codify our inventions lead to a number of probl…

BLACK HISTORY? Little Tin Horn Soldier Meaning– Miseducation Revisited: [Part 2 of 3] The Incredible BRONZE AGE & the Discovery of A Rare BLACK Metal For some strange reason, during the set up of the Colonial Empire, a major movement occurred at some point to deliberately [1] Change dates and times, and also [2] hide certain aspects of ancient history that revolve around ancient Africa and the Old Mediterranean Civilizations. For this reason, today, many people of African descent might find it interesting to revisit this crucial aspect of African history. One method that was used to hide a major aspect of Black History was that a lo…

I've noticed over the past 10 years or so not only is there a rise in Black female/ White male relationships.....but for the past year or so I've noticed that they have actually OVER TAKEN the Black male / White female relationships! Maybe I'm just noticing it more but it appears that now in 2024 in the public places I've been, there are MORE Sistaz running around with White dudes than Bruthaz running around with White women. This is a huge problem in my opinion for a number of reasons..........

A You Tube channel that I just came across. Interesting stuff.

I guess I find it funny because it just epitomizes the absurdity of "high" fashion. But on a more practical matter these super high heeled shoes are simply bad for you. How many women have I seen, often overweight who have to pack a pair a flat shoes to wear home after attending an event in 5 inch heals... I'm glad men have no pressure to wear shoes that are just bad for your feet. The days of hammer toes from wearing pointy shoes are long gone. We don't have to worry about processing our hair, painting our faces, or showing up to an event wearing the same suit.

I discovered this video reading an article about Vertamae Smart-Grosvenor on Munchies I'm still listening to it -- not even halfway through (Nikki Giovanni just read a poet to and for Lena Horne and they just started a conversation. This is just a great video featuring different Black women in conversation, singing, dancing, poetry -- a terrific compilation and demonstrates why we need Black media. The following a from the video description on Youtube: Inspired by the book by Chester Higgins, this special episode of Black Journal features a discussion between Joan Harris, Vertamae Grosvenor, Martha Davis, Marian Watson and Amma Baraka.

THE ISRAELITES-- Song by Desmond Dekker and the Aces-- I heard this song a few weeks ago on a dvd I bought for one dollar from a local Dollar Tree store. I loved the movie, it was awesome. And this song was at the beginning of the movie. At first, I did not understand the lyrics at all, but it just stuck in my mind and I found myself listening to it over and over again. The film was a UK film called "Made in Daghenam" and it's based on a true story set at the time this song became very popular. I loved that movie so much, I have watched over and over again! Finally after hearing that song at the beginning of the movie, I finall…

Something about this entire case and the way the media is covering it doesn't sit right with me..... First of all, even before the media started calling it fake and Smollet was arrested, different bits and pieces of information were being leaked by the media from the start to make people question the case. This makes me wonder if the mainstream media KNEW more about this story being "fake" from being begining and just ran with it anyway. And if so, WHY would they intentionaly follow a false story. Secondly, he's being arrested and charged with filing a false police report that is being called a felony and people are claiming he's facing time in jail. People cons…

************************************************************************************ I didn't know much about what happened there, listening to the news I got the impression that the white boy shot some people that were standing around minding their own business. I did not know the race of the people that were shot, it never really occurred to me. So I was watching the trial, in passing, and saw a video where one of the men that the boy shot was about to jump on top of the boy's head. So, YES, he acted in self-defense. This is the link to the video of him shooting all three peop…

This books is about semiotics and Magic. It's central premise is that Magic is communicative. Words have meanings that are both universal and personal. There are different types of language games: an order or emphatic request; the response to a question; a warning or a password. Words signs and symbols are communicative. And by strengthen your connection and understanding, you magnify the efficacy of your Magical Spell or ritual. A Grimoire is a book of Magical Spells. It literally translates into grammar. So Grammar and Spells are a fundamental component of Magical Workings.

The Last Egyptian Slave Seaport, Suakim & Israelites on the Slave Ships-Deuteronomy 28:68. Suakin [i.e. Suakim] Suakin/Suakim The prophets wrote about the setup and the downfall of both, the First Roman Empire and the Second Roman Empire. However, one major mark of the Second Roman Empire would be the slave ship trade of which Moses prophesied would happen in the BOOK of DEUTERONOMY 28:68. Furthermore, Moses was not the only prophet to write about the First Coming and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ of which both coincides with the setup and downfall of both Roman Empires. Some of the Biblical pro…

The Legal Definition of 'A MASS SHOOTING' Now I understand the 'legal' definition of a MASS SHOOTING. Prior to this video that came up on my channel, I did not agree with recent reports of mass shootings when only two or three people had been victimized. But in this video it was explained that our laws dictate how a mass shooting is defined. There is a recent and very sad event that occurred and although I do not know all of the details, it has caused some people to be angry. The video [of which I refuse to watch the graphic parts of it] appears to show the a young man who initially had a gun, but when he saw the police, he threw …

Had a pretty interesting conversation with a Hebrew Israelite brother and sister last night over some tea, coffee, and a bean pie....lol. Straight choppin' it up! After we finished and got up, there was nothing on that table but some empty porcelain cups and a foil pan without so much as a CRUMB in that mug....lol. Apparently they believe that race and racial lineage isn't determined by...or atleast isn't JUST determined by....phenotype and what color a person is but by what race their FATHER is. As it relates to us as AfroAmericans; they seem to believe in two major lines: The line of Edom (whom most of us call White folks or Caucasians) and the line…

That fact that meteor showers are the mostly the result of a comet that has orbited and then le…

Hey @Delano Have you heard of this book: The Magickian: A Study in Effective Magick by Phillip Cooper someone was trying to sell a used copy for $500 on Amazon. Someone was trying to buy one from me, but I can't find any wholesale copies.

I remember in the year two thousand and twenty three when media in NYC emphasized hate towards asians of any phenotype + white jews. But what I found most informative was that the percentage of hate crimes towards asians was under fifteen percent while hate towards black people of any language or religion or gender was second only to white jews. And the question relates to what Olayemi states brilliantly. Where is the outrage? where is the call for crime in the white community to be checked or handled? Moreover, I want to know their faces , their names. the odd thing about crimes against Black people by non whites is how little paperwork or technology is used or av…

I agree with a fellow FaceBooker when she asks "Does it strike you as odd that the disgraceful slaughter of a lion in Africa causes far more outrage in America than the daily lynchings of Americans of color?" Ironically, had this lion killed the hunter, excuses would've been made blaming the man for encroaching on the lion's turf, while explaining that this was just a case of a lion being a lion. Or is anybody ever outraged when lions kill each other, committing fur-on-fur crime. Too bad there's no such universal lamenting among human beings when a black person is murdered by a white cop - during the course of a racist just being a racist when he kills a black motorist…

Interesting book. This is a quote from the epilogue. By allowing yourself to view the world from an abstract perspective, you create a language that is uniquely able to capture and describe the patterns and mechanisms that would otherwise remain hidden. This is true of language, mathematics, Astrology et cetera.

Politically speaking, most oppressed minority groups in America vote Democratic against white, right wing, Christian, racist, homophobe Republicans. These groups are blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Jews, and LGBTQ. But, beyond the fact that they vote for the same party does not dismiss the tribalism that is strong among them. There are a lot of blacks that don't like Mexicans and vice versa. Someday, when the Anglo white population dwindles down to a bare minority (even though they will still have the…

The Miss USA Pageant & the Surprising Number of Black Contestants 2024 What a big change this year! It makes me wonder what kind of politics are behind this event even more. Last year, there were a lot of hype about certain Hispanic contestants and now, all of a sudden, it seems, the shift of spotlight has concentrated on the Black girls!? So not only was the big news of how the runner up to Miss Universe was Miss Nigeria USA, but on our side of the water were the many Black beauties too, that won some titles. Like Miss Nigeria USA, however, there were several Black immigrant contestants from Africa in both the Miss America pageant and t…
