Deeeeyyyyyyum....... Is this the SAME seemingly corny white-washed Byron Allen we've been watching on telvision for decades, now talking this radically about race, corporate racism, and Black empowerment.....or did I get it twisted and this is really Harry Allen from Public Enemy?

Thanks to those who've been kind enough to initiate threads on my behalf @Cyniqueand @Pioneer1. Brotha Troy has provided me with a canvas and wings to paint and soar respectively. I've added my 2 cents to enough threads already for regulars and lurkers alike to read how I roll. I've already been accused of commiserating and complaining and also of being sexist, ageist, outdated. That's fine. I'm a big dude and Teflon too. I'm gonna keep calling balls and strikes as I see it with a sense of humor. I know all medicine ain't for all patients. Let's get it.😎

This is sure going to upset a lot of folks. A study from Australia's Queensland of Technology has found that the average Bitcoin enthusiast is a calculating psychopath with an inflated ego. Now, I wouldn't go that far. But I would definitely say some don't seem to care about the well being of other Blacks and enjoy disparaging those who defend our people who still struggle. And most do get dressed in the morning. I guess this explains on the part of some, their fascination with Donald Trump and belief this proven racist is a really great guy, owns the stairway to heaven, the escalator and probably the high speed elevator, too. Ah, but don't take i…

White Christians forgive the black terrorist that shot all those innocent people in the terrorist/ racist subway attack as well as the blacks racist that brutally stabbed a jewish rabbi in Ny last year. White Christians and jews also forgive the black man and black woman that shot up and killed innocent jewish people inside a jewish deli in New Jersey last year( it was a brutal assault). White Christians also forgive the black racist terrorist that drove a truck through a crowd of innocent people in wisconsin, it was straight from an ISIS playbook. White Christians also forgive all the black thugs that terrorize our communities and all the black thugs that destroyed an…

More than the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of several counties combined. A lot of people made money over the relatively short period of an election cyle. Hopefully, folks lurking around here got paid too.😎

Stevie Wonder, Lauryn Hill, Lisa Fischer and Valerie Simpson were among those who performed at the funeral service for Roberta Flack. I would like to know what was so important that our beautiful sista Lauryn Hill couldn't finish getting her hair done.🤣 Hair appointment aside, the mercurial Ms. Hill still has that voice. The woman can sing effortlessly. Surely, the late Ms. Flack would have approved of Lauryn showing up for her homegoing service. Of course, the great Stevie Wonder did his thing too. The man is a living legend. Deserves his flowers now. Ms. Roberta Flack was an awesome musician, sing…

https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/20/food/mcdonalds-combo-lower-prices Admittedly, I have not eaten McDonald's food in about 25 years or longer. As a result, I had no idea that McDonald's value meals had soared to $10 dollars or more. In an effort to make offerings more affordable, McD's will be lowering the price of some value meals. While it won't inspire me to start eating there, I think it's a great move especially for people and families who don't have much money. McDonald's was the one place $5 could buy a meal. Anyone should still be able to get that without having to buy the equivalent of a Happy Meal.😎

You don't have to have a passing interest in numerology as I do, to be intrigued by what the new year will allow us to observe. Four times next year something rare will occur either at 11:11 AM or 11:11 PM when for 1 minute the day, month, year and hour will be represented by a series of ones beginning with the first day of January during which time we will be able to notate: 11111111 or (1/1/11 @11:11 AM or PM.) On January eleventh virtually the same thing will occur thusly: 111111111 or (1/11/11 @ 11:11 AM or PM) Not done yet. This is what further distinguishes 2011 from other years where it's possible to match up the day, month, year and hour, because in 201…

February is Black History month, and I feel fortunate that my repository of memories makes my brain comparable to an organic history book, chapters of which I want to share. Being the proud great-granddaughter of freed-slaves I've decided to pull rank and briefly assume the role of a griot. I beg your indulgence. I confess to also taking pride in the fact that Prohibition was repealed the same year I was born, making it possible for people to legally drown their sorrows in booze as both me and the Great Depression came into being. Since then just what have I lived through, that most of you haven’t? Read on. Starting with Franklin D. Roosevelt, and …

This is picking up on a Farrakhan will speak before the Detroit City Council, to members of the clergy and to residents of the city. Acknowledging the Detroit's rich legacy, Minister Farrakahn opined about the city's present condition, saying "Detroit is where the Nation of Islam started. Detroit is almost considered now, a dead city. So we'll come back to Detroit where we began and loook at the condition of Detroit, pool our resources and try to buy properties in Detroit and start rebuilding one of the greatest cities in America where we're concerned."

“Actor-director-producer Nate Parker made history by inking a landmark $17.5 million Sundance deal to sell his slavery drama The Birth of A Nation to Fox Searchlight, starting his 2017 Oscar campaign a full year early. The vibrant and lyrical portrait of the divisive African American hero is an incendiary inquiry into themes of racism and faith that still echo today.”—Daily Beast Set against the antebellum South, The Birth of a Nation follows Nat Turner (Nate Parker), a literate slave and preacher, whose financially strained owner, Samuel Turner (Armie Hammer), accepts an offer to use Nat's preaching to subdue unruly slaves. As he witnesses countless atrocities - aga…

Author Roland S. Jefferson, MD shared this with me a few moments ago. I have never seen this and the first few minutes look good: "In 1968 ABC filmed a 30 minute documentary on musical prodigy Aretha Franklin. It is notable for the rarely seen interviews with her father, her husband, and producers. Importantly it features candid peeks behind the scenes that reveal how Aretha conceived and developed her approach to songs. And of course to watch the mesmerizing impact of her voice on the teens of the day is priceless. At your leisure, I encourage you to take the time to watch this amazing icon at the height of her youth. Enjoy!" --Roland S. Jefferson

The website Genius used a clever tactic to catch Google stealing lyrics from their website and posting those lyrics directly on their search engine results page, keeping searchers on Google's site and eliminating the need for them to visit the Genius website. The Wall Street Journal reports: This is because Google posts answers to users' queries directly on the search engine results page, eliminating the need for searchers to visit the underlying sites that compiled the information. Google claims this provides users with a "better experience." Of course this provides users with a better experience. But this is like me going in…

(but anybody can respond obviously.....) If it's true that Black people make up the majority of those who commit murders, commit hate crimes, drain the social services system, and have out of wedlock births. What is YOUR solution to this problem? Now that the problem has been pointed out.....if in 10 or 20 or 30 years you see it isn't improving...then what IS the solution? What do you think should be done with our community as a whole?

I saw it the other night. EXCELLENT film. It reminded me of one of my favorite films: Glory Nice long action packed movie. Will...as usual...was outstanding in his performance. I didn't get too hyped about it because I expected for it to be good, and I wasn't disappointed. I recommend everyone who hasn't seen the film to go see it. There is violence through out the movie but it has quite a bit of violence in the latter half so be forewarned.

Circa 1865 white men allowed black men to have the vote, and white women campaigned very hard against that and it was undone, while black women supported black men's right to vote. The fissure in the female populace in the usa has existed ever since and every female candidate for president, from Shirley Chisholm through Hillary Clinton to Kamala Harris has experienced the fracture in the female vote. Women may need their own party of governance to become president. Barrack Obama was the first Black President and the last Presidential nominee who could use the ceiling breaking energy to win the white house. Ever since him, every ceiling breaking presidentia…
