Science VS https://gimletmedia.com/shows/science-vs @Pioneer1 I recently discovered this podcast. Interestingly, they covered most of the subjects we discussed here including; race, vaccines, and climate change. You (everyone) should check this podcast out.

It is not the biggest home office I ever had, but it is the most comfortable. While I miss socializing, I also appreciate how truly lucky I am. I'm not saying I don't have challenges, but relatively speaking... I called a longtime buddy of mine yesterday, a physician, he is in the hospital, on oxygen, as a result of Covid19. He told me he had gotten so sick that he wished he had died. Fortunately, he will recover. My friend is wealthy. I think about all the poor people, in his situation, that have died painful deaths, alone, and scared. Will this prompt Americans to fight stop a system that increase wealthy inequality and h…

I think we can all agree that congress needs to pass an “ anti baby mama “ bill. That is just so damn logical. It would reduce crime by up to 75%. Maybe an anti thug bill as well.

XEON, what PLANET is this woman living on? (You were posting about some Black people living in the past?)

I remain flabbergasted by the comments of some on this forum. Despite the frenzied denials against all evidence, White Supremacy continues to exist. In fact, there are millions of Whites who would just love to return to the days when they could actually own, whip, rape or kill a person with impunity. These are times when their desires were quickly met, their complaints always rectified and their violent rages repeatedly excused. Ah, but don't take it from me. Read an opinion piece in The Black Wall Street Times written by its esteemed founder and editor-in-chief, Nehemiah D. Frank. He's simply highlighting yet more proof that racist Whites are ramping…

Chicago migrants: Johnson to use $95M in COVID funds for crisis; more suburbs pass regulations Chicago migrant crisis: Johnson to use $95M in COVID funds; Matteson, Hillside approve crackdown; McHenry considers regulations - ABC7 Chicago You say he doesn't have power? Looks to me like Mayor Johnson has plenty of power, to help OTHER PEOPLE. I haven't read any reports of him "tapping into" Covid Relief Funds to help the homeless who already existed in Chicago before the migrants came. And he's also begging Washington for financial help to deal with them. No talk of SENDING THEM BACK or BLOCKING THE BUSSES from coming.....ju…

There is no scientific evidence that human civilizations have been here for millions of years. But I agree, Western civilization will absolutely collapse. We can debate the timeframe, but it will happen and we are seeing indications of it today.

A friend of mine from work keeps trying to get me to go to South Africa on a visit. He talks about how much I'd love it and wouldn't want to come back. He also loves to send me clips of South African women on the beach like this one: South African Sistas On The Beach Although I love MOST Sub-Saharan African women in all of their diversity, I have to admit that the women in see in the videos he sends me do NOT look like typical African women. I don't simply mean how they dress but even how they look physically. The various lighter skin tones. Being fat with big bellies and cellulite (which I don't mind in most cases....just part of an observation) Hair…

....anybody seen this movie yet? I have, and I think it's excellent and very deep. Infact, It's along the same theme as "Get Out" but much more entertaining.

They Not Like Us!? WOW! 2025 Super Bowl Half Time Show--Unforgettable! I am BLOWN AWAY! More than Music--that has been the take away from the words of well, Lamar himself! This performance is said to be controversial especially too because, not only did Kendrick perform his song, Not Like Us, but towards the end of the performance, Serena Williams was featured doing the Crip Walk! Many people are outraged about Serena's performance, but her husband came to her defense. And then there was the performance of Sza that was also wonderful. What a vocalist. She dazzled. Kendrick Lamar & Sza …

Only Michelle Obama bests Trump as an alternative to Biden in 2024 The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll finds that about one-third of Democrats say Biden should drop out of the presidential race after the debate 2 July 2024 Washington, DC, July 2, 2024—Following the first 2024 presidential debate, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump remain in dead heat for November’s election. In hypothetical matchups with Democratic candidates other than Biden, former first lady Michelle Obama is the only hypothetical candidate to definitively defeat Trump in this poll. Michelle Obama also tops the charts in favorability among …

There was an interesting story on This American Life about a family in Maywood IL. The young woman (Italian) was date another student. Her beau was also Italian. At the same time the young lady was banging this Brother (Black) who was on the basketball team. The young lady became pregnant and as was custom during the time (about 40 years ago I believe), the girl's father forced the kids to get married When the child was born the young it was the Brother's child but the young lady was in complete denial -- so much so she truly believed the child was her husbands. The rest of the family, unaware of the young lady's jungle fever had no reason to suspect otherwise.…

Unless you're blind and deaf it's hard to avoid life's little aggravations delivered to you on a daily basis courtesy of the media in all of its forms. This is the motivation for me letting my pet peeves out of their cage. The top 10 things that make my eyes roll upward The gloating eagerness of celebrity moms to reveal how quickly they’ve regained their slim figures after relieving themselves of the baby bumps they were equally anxious to show off to an indifferent world. So called “right-to-life" zealots who don’t realize that, by applying their warped standards, a female’s expelling of an unfertilized egg every month is the equivalent of an abortion.…

The other night, while deciding who I was going to watch between Jimmy Kimmel, Dave Letterman or Jay Leno, upon seeing that Carol Burnett was Jay‘s guest, my decision was made. I’ve always been a fan of Carol because she was born the same year I was and we have grown old together as we look forward to our 80th birthdays, which for her, just happens to be today. She’s a comic genius and that was another reason I related to her because I was in sync with her tongue-in-cheek brand of humor; comedy skits that spoofed the entertainment industry, or just simply made fun of what others took seriously. Anyhow, there she was being interviewed by Jay, looking great for…

The above lampoon pretty much sums up how seriously I take everything that goes on in this country. Obama gave it the ol college try in his state of the union speeach. He talked tough. Hard to do when your tongue is a noodle. And the beat goes on. I'm still swallowing back barf over how some crazy, white, gay-friendly duo beat out perennial black winners like JayZ, Drake, Kanye and break-out new artist, Lamar, for the best rap album of the year at the Grammys. Explanations refer to Rap now being mainstream. Who'd have ever thought this genre would find a home among white dorks. And speaking of the Grammys, why is everyone raggin on Beyonce for acting like…

Ex-NYC mayor, Rudy Giuliani, desperate to make headlines, recently declared that Obama doesn’t love America, presumably because POTUS displayed religious tolerance when it comes to Islam and doesn’t saber rattle and threaten to put boots down in countries that won’t stand up and defend themselves from terrorism. STFU, Rudy. I wouldn’t blame Obama if he didn’t love the America which you personify: arrogant, white, conservative, super patriotic, capitalistic, hypocritical Republicans, who are anti-poor and anti-women. Right wing racists like you jerks make me sick to my stomach, and I wish Fox News would collapse under the weight of its lies and stupidity. A Texas ju…

Can you describe how you think? Its a pretty difficult question. @Troy @Cynique This is open to anyone. A different way if answer the question is as follows. Can you describe the difference between hiw it feels when you are thinking and you solve a problem and when you don't. However dont refer to the emotional or physical sensations. Just use mental ones.

Why do we defend our convictions. When We haven't tested them, in addition some assumptions are not possible to verify.

Or why you only invite Socrates to a suicide party.

Dear Friends, Last year marked our 55th anniversary in the publishing business. We are very proud to have built the oldest, independent, continuously operating Black publishing company in the nation. In October, we celebrated with gusto and invited our supporters, friends, authors and family to our headquarters to commemorate with us. The winter season is traditionally busy for us as we fill holiday orders for the Kwanzaa and Christmas gift giving season. This year however, our efforts were dampened when a water pipe burst beneath our building on a Friday night and quickly flooded the entire basement. Unfortunately, the flooded area housed the majo…

I read this somewhere...is this really the truth? Thirteen Lies We Tell Black Children 1) Black parents and adults can protect you in the world. 2) Go to school, get a good education and you will get a good job and live a happy life. 3) Do not commit a crime and you won't have to deal with the police. 4) Get a good job, save your money and you will be economically successful. 5) Others are responsible for your health. 6) Take pride in your house and community and the housing values will go up. 7) If things are not going well in your community, it's the parent's and adult's fault. 8) There is a…

Well, with a new television season on the horizon, fans of the small acreen are being bombarded with the trailers touting all the new and returning shows. The announcement that jolted me the most was the revelation that Valerie Harper will be a contestant on Dancing with the Stars! It wasn't too long ago that Mary Tyler Moore's TV sidekick, a/k/a Rhoda, was appearing before cameras, putting on a brave face announcing that she had been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Although in her early 70s, Valerie/Rhoda was still feisty and upbeat, vowing to fight to the end. I feel so inadequate. Here this half-dead septagenarian is getting ready to go through her paces,…

I heard about this on the radio this morning and went to look for the video. I said to myself how bad can it be? But after looking that the video any man reading this knows the "Bishop" knew exactly what he was doing. If he behaves like this during a high profile funeral -- a FUNERAL -- I and can't image what this guy does with attractive women, in his congregation, who revere him. I normally try to ignore "news" like this, but my curiosity got the best of me; I'm only human. So CBS got me to look at and share their video. I guess there are worse things I could be doing -- like fondling the beasts of young women. @harry brown, you …

If you really think about it there was a time where people used the word brother and sister, now people address themselves as nig***, and address young black women as b's or thots(whore). i even see some young females address there own self as a bit**, it's ridiculous, is there anyone who feel the same as i do. because like i said there was once a time where we were Brothers and Sisters and kings and queens, and i'm not being judgmental but you actually seen women in dresses or pants or something where there not exposing themselves, or fighting and carrying on, and getting drunk and young men not calling females out there name, I'm not saying it's totally demolished but …

Now, were are being told how to think and how we should feel? https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/julianna-margulies-black-people-brainwashed-hate-jews-rcna127626

When I look at the news and current events on the internet, 2 things seem to be dominating the headlines: illegal immigration and homelessness. This seems to be going somewhere but I'm not sure what the agenda is.....yet.

The Governor of Illinois starts begging the Governor of Texas to stop sending illegal immigrants up to his state: ‘I Plead with You for Mercy’: Pritzker Urges Abbott to Stop Sending Migrants to Chicago amid Winter Storm (msn.com) This is obviously weak and pitiful for a politician to supposedly do to another on an equal executive level. He has just as much power to send them BACK as Abbot has to send them up. On top of that, why doesn't BIDEN step in and do something? I already know the answer but....it simply looks weak and it's become obvious now that BOTH parties are in cahoots with eachother and playing games on the people. But when was the last t…

I just refreshed my list of the top Black Owned Websites, a list I maintain on huria.org. In another conversation on this forum, a visitor wrote that the number one website, currently Worldstarhiphop.com,"...is for the children." In reality, the website is designed for adults, and is currently the #1 Black owned website. I rank websites based upon Alexa rankings, an admittedly imperfect metric, but is all I have and is better than nothing. Worldstarhiphop.com is essentially a gossip site that posts embrassing vidoes of celebtrities, public brawls and the like. The founder Lee "Q" O'Denat, the founder of Worldstarhiphop.com. WSHH has been voted the "top hip hop …

This is the face of todays black male. A typical armed robbery/ murder suspect who has a few kids out of wedlock. Its so sad ! What kind of life will his children have ? Someone needs to tell him to get a haircut, he looks ridiculous. There is no excuse. Here is his partner in crime. They are actually bad at what they do becuse they keep getting caught.

pic of true Hebrews after h Pic of the Hebrews after ttey were taken in captivity by the Assyrians This was 3000 years ago and was etched into a wall. Winners always depicted their victories over enemies. And this was big and the King wanted to make sure that everyone knew that he had conquered the Hebrews. Why Not? These were God's People and they had just beaten them in war. That would gave them a big rep as being the ones who conquered the Hebrews. One thing fgor sure is that your enemies know what you look like and if thery are going to put youy on blast before the whole world, they gonna make sure they get your image right! the middle pic is an ad sho…

THIS JUST IN about 10 hours ago: A Denosovan—Neanderthal Hybrid Bone Found in Cave _____________________________________________________________ Scientists Stunned By a Neanderthal Hybrid Discovered in a Siberian Cave Sarah Zhang 10 hrs ago … A remarkable new discovery—also in the Denisova cave—paints an even more interesting more picture, telling us that Denisovans also interbred with Neanderthals.

"Hopes and prayers." Get ready, folks. You're gonna hear this tired and oft-used phrase many times in coming days. Some idiot in Texas just allegedly murdered 14 grade school children and a teacher in Uvalde, Texas, This is an elementary school. And I guarantee the dummies on the Right Wing of politics will defend the ownership of guns. Some of those folks will also be in this discussion group. The suspect, a student at a high school in the same Texas town, allegedly shot his grandmother to death before the school shooting. Again, I will not post a link since this an evolving news story and I am certain that whole bunch of more before we reach the…

Hey Everybody Long time...I know. I trust you all have been well. It's good to be back, but this new site is crazy. I hope to get the hang of it soon. Ciao

Well, the time is drawing near and I will soon have to decide who to cast my vote for in the upcoming Illinois primaries. My choices are represented by Clinton and Sanders. Everybody else is out of the question, particularly Donald Trump, that ego-maniacal, fascistic xenophobic, ignorant mouthpiece of the worst America has to offer. (Funny how when checking out the Wendy Williams show the other day, watching her toddle around in stiletto heels, almost pitching forward from the weight of her enormous implants, her glassy eyes peeking out from the drapery of her latest wig, lasciviously sharing gossip with her enraptured audience of giddy women and gay men all of whom ha…

is Michael B Jordan's thomas crown movie the first rich black man film? I will explain. Thomas crown is supposed to be a rich guy who commits crimes. started by steve mcqueen, continued by pierce brosnan, but Jordan playing him is a quiet message in my view to black wealth. I can tell you black people have always had a rich minority but that minority has always been so small it hasnt been as visible, but in modernity i argue it is larger than in the past five hundred years so to speak or definitely the last two hundred and this film, i assume may speak to that reality in the black community in the usa and beyond. what say you? calendar event, remember to…

Those Egyptian Eyes: Genetics & the Bible Part II Introduction~ Who Came First? POINT: 1-8, 9-15. [POINT: 1] Today, the word ‘African’ can express a variety of distinct meanings so the term will usually be coupled with another expression to distinguish among certain racial groups. So, the term ‘Indigenous African’ will often be used to define early African people that have similarities as opposed to many other people that later came to be defined also as African. Likewise, the term ‘African American’ today, can reflect many different kinds of people so, other terms are affixed to distinguish the earliest kinds of people…

An inspirational message I just had to share, as a final homage to Oprah... A real man is a woman's best friend. He will never stand her up and never let her down. He will reassure her when she feels insecure and comfort her after a bad day. He will inspire her to do things she never thought she could do; to live without fear and forget regret. He will enable her to express her deepest emotions and give in to her most intimate desires. He will make sure she always feels as though she's the most beautiful woman in the room and will enable her to be the most confident, sexy, seductive and invincible. No wait... Sorry.. I'm thinking of wine. It’s…

Further confirming my belief that the tide has turned and white people no longer feel the obligation to be politically correct when it comes to the black race, the annoucement of the nominees for the highest honor the movie industry bestows on its finest, snubbed all of the worthy candidates of color. Or as the social media captioned this blatant oversight: the Oscars have gone white. Ava DuVernay, the black female director of "Selma" and David Oyelowo, the actor portraying MLK in this film, were passed over by the Academy Awards committee, their worthy performances left unrecognized. The trickle down rejection of racial equality that has its origins in the disrespect …

Well, it's Friday and since nothing much else is poppin, I'll indulge and amuse myself by putting the "Cynique" in Cynique's corner and make some observations about - nothing. Prince was in Chi-Town for a 3-day engagement. The ol boy can still generate interest and excitement. Tickets to his concert were a hot item. All of his middle-aged fans who grew up with him were hustling up the money for tickets, none of which were under $125.00; this in addition to the exorbitant parking costs attendng this event would include. My FaceBook community was all agog with anticipation. My daughter made the gesture of asking me if I wanted to go with her because I usually t…

Because I can’t keep up with the upkeep, I am giving up the old homestead, and am accepting my oldest daughter’s invitation to move in with her, something that will convenience rather than inconvenience her circumstances. Having resided at my present home for almost 40 years, the prospect of disposing of all of my possessions entails dealing with a lot of logistics as well as emotional baggage. Along with this, strange things have started to happen in connection with my re-locating. I find myself wondering if my persona has imbued my house, and it has become a brick and mortar version of me. Why? Because it’s like the house doesn’t want the physical me to separ…

It is not something Black people in the past created , it is something from pure modernity. By the national urban league, which has produced no results for the black urban league. I asked in the post below what I will ask here. Can any one black show me anything that came from black voting? Show me something? The 13th amendment to end enslavement was the result of war. Show me something that Black votes earned the Black community in the USA. I Can't think of anything. Can you? And some of you will say, that is not the point of voting and I oppose that view. In NYC, the vote of various white groups led to things in their community for them. More info…
