Where is Prof D??? Hope he's OK. His absence creates a big void on the premises. 😳

The idea of MAKE A STORY is simple, nothing grand, or complicated. One starts a story with a paragraph 100 words maximum, and tags someone to continue. The person who starts keeps track in a post, like this. And, whomever is tagged, tags someone else to continue. The story is never ending. But, it will give everyone in this community a chance to do something positive or functional with everyone else. At the end , all the participants can debate a title:) Ok , I will start In the vastness of space, in a universe whose name is unknown, in a galaxy some of its inhabitants call Isi, orbiting a star system of three stars some call The Three Queen…

The 4th of July / Independence day comes once per year to the majority of Americans. Dependence day happens every day for those that dont respect our flag and feel they are entitled to the fruits of the labor of our patriots and hard working American’s. Our beautiful flag represents all the freedoms our brave men and women of the military sacrificed their lives for going all the way back to our independence from Britain. Dont let the change in demographics and the obnoxious voice of a few obscure just how great our country is. Happy Independence day and God Bless America !!!!

Stop the Gun Violence Is this what Democracy looks like? I'm commenting on the recent school shooting in Florida as well as some of the trigger happy policeman too. I'm commenting on the wreckeless use of firearms in this country period.Not only do I comment on the lone terrorists who just try to slaughter as many people as they can at one time but by police who would break into the whom of an unarmed mother breast feeding her baby and shooting her. Do we need to rewrite the 2nd amendment?Because some people obviously think that owning a weapon means stockpiling arsenal and slaughtering innocent people. I don't see Cuban and Russian…

Hello everyone, I am a graduate student in fashion at Kent State University looking for people to participate in a study i'm conducting on Afrofuturism and visual expressions. For my study, I am looking to understand Black people's perceptions and definitions of Afrofuturism and how we (specifically Africans, African Americans and 1st generation Africans in America) visually employ Afrofuturistic themes through fashion ( clothing choices, hair styling methods, makeup practices, etc.). I am seeking to interview potential participants to find out the differences that may or may not be evident due to cultural differences amongst members of these communiti…

He was a familiar figure on Chicago's local TV channels, a community activist, always there, first on the scene in the aftermath of the regular shootings that grab headlines in Chicagoland. On camera, comforting the grieving families, chiding the violent perpetrators, urging anyone with any information to come forward, bringing his lamenting to a close by announcing the amount of any award money to be offered. He was a community treasure, the go-to-guy for mike-holding reporters ready to move on from the "wha had happened" witnesses, and anxious to solicit his insinuations about his fellow blacks. And what has happened in regard to this "angel of death" wh…

Google's YouTube has increasingly become a cesspool of misinformation -- so much so that otherwise smart people are convinced that things which should be ridiculed as ridiculous on their face are plausible because of high production quality and documentary-like editing. Videos pushing all sorts of garbage gain traction and credibility. Young people are particularly susceptible to this form of misinformation. Sometimes I'll be watching some YouTube video, fall asleep, and wake up to some crazy video. Google's revenue driven algorithm pushes these bogus videos -- no Russian Trolls are necessary. Again, Google does not care that the video they push w…

Senators are skeptical of Trump's call for a bipartisan deal on Dreamers MmmmHmmmm...... Already Trump is showing signs of back pedaling on his mass deportation program. If he was willing to make a deal on the "Dreamers" who are also in this country illegally, why didn't he mention this when he was running? Why did he talk nothing but DEPORTATION, DEPORTATION, and MASS DEPORTATION when he was running, but now as he gets closer to stepping into the Whitehouse...all of a sudden he want to compromise? I told people about this shit.

Shaun is spot on with this observation. It's been known for decades that the images of Jesus and even God being depicted as a Caucasian man has being one of the most effective tools of racism as it burns the idea of Caucasians being divine and god-like into the subconscious of many people of color who grow up around those images. However, I suspect that if people DO start smashing and knocking down those images of Caucasians that have been LABELED as "Jesus".....some of the protesters may end up making more enemies than they expected. Infact, I suspect many of the female protesters of color will be adamantly against this campaign.

WhiteLiesMatters In the current culture of hashtags, there is one hashtag that has been trending long before the invention of the computer. The hashtag, #WhiteLiesMatters was the brainchild of the British Elites who set up the first laws for the Plantation Colonizers that became the United (divided) States of America. #WhiteLieMatters is the bedrock of America’s Empire where pale-skinned people make billions of dollars in revenue from the laws that they instituted to destroy the Indigenous people personhood and communities. Indigenous Americans or Black people have always been the main target of the laws of White Supremacy. Our Ancestors were the benchmark by whi…

My comment based on the articles, and my own comprehension beforehand. Many people had the idea for a memorial day at the end of that war. Who originated it is functionally a hard question cause that will require knowing who was the first to make plans as many celebrations at the end of the war between the states to memorialize the soldiers was present. But, while the first conceived is hard or near impossible to answer, the first on record can be achieved.

I will enjoy if any actually read the body of this post... I am not asking the question in the title, so please don't answer it. My prose The question in the title was asked by someone and I thought to myself, that is not a functional question. Teaching history should be taught wherever it can be. But, a functional question is, what is the goal of education to the masses? I rephrase the question, are black people right to think education gives access to a power more potent than the sword? At the end of the day, usa history proves that money or education aren't really important long term. what is important is who is willing to kill to get what they want or…

Colonial America Anti-Black Agenda Colonial America was founded on the spirit of hatred, haughtiness of its collective self and a history of barbaric behaviors including a warring nature. From its inception, the pale-skinned Colonizers from northern Europe set up societies with a governing model similar to the formal feudal caste system of Europe where the word ‘black’ was used as a derogatory description or to degrade its bottom casted citizenry with contempt and disrespect. This was the vitriol and disdain that became the foundation of Colonial America Anti-Black Agenda. Frankly, it appears that the country has reverted back to colonial times with militias assis…

https://www.npr.org/2025/07/09/nx-s1-5462812/biden-white-house-physician-gop-investigation Former POTUS Joe Biden's doctor has been summoned to testify before a congressional committee to address the mental acuity of POTUS PJB. Of course, the doctor invoked physician-patience confidentiality and his 5th amendment right too. Rhetorically, the question is why is the GOP wasting time and money investigating former POTUS PJB. There's nothing to be gained. The current administration won convincingly. Yet, they choose to attack and blame the previous administration for every issue.😎

Greetings Bro. Troy- (Gene Alexander Peters , the African American Artifacts Collector here). Just a quick question....

Here, Richard Prince reports on issues important to Black journalists and newspapers, discussed during a countable discussion held late last year. I have strong opinions about all of the issues raised in Richard's article. The fact that this article was not on one of the independent, Black-owned newspapers websites, which many of the participants work for is just a start. I'll give you one guess where I found this article... We have a loooong way to go.

“It’s a horror film [and] I dedicated a lot of myself to create a new horror mythology, a new monster,” Peele said in Los Angeles last week. “I think that monsters and stories about monsters are one of our best ways of getting at deeper truths and facing our fears as a society.”

Actually I previously shared this article here. But I'm sharing again because I'm testing a service called Sniply, where you share a link to an article like this one: http://snip.ly/3yiffg and when the reader visits the site a pop-up appears with a link back to you site. Pretty clever huh? The site provides analytics and more. I know this is wonky webmaster stuff 🙂

The fantastic Jennifer Hudson would have made Aretha Franklin proud with her rendition of "Natural Woman". I think Tina Turner was proud of H.E.R. and Mickey Guyton singing songs in tribute to her excellence. It's a long s…

Now, this is some good news! Rudy Giuliani, the lying bullcrap artist for Donald Trump, must pay more than $148 million to two Black Georgia election workers for lying about them. The lies led angry Trump supporters to threaten their lives and other family members. The damages verdict follows emotional testimony from Wandrea “Shaye” Moss and her mother, Ruby Freeman, who tearfully described becoming the target of a false conspiracy theory pushed by Giuliani and other Republicans as they tried to keep then-President Trump in power after he lost the 2020 election, according to the Associated Press. The lawsuit resulted in $75 million for punitive damages while…

I believe I did a thread on this before but...... Once again, with all of the talk and spamming and bullshit all over the internet and social media STILL very little to no mention of Daylight Savings Time and how the clocks must be turned back. Even the so-called "New" channels and sites have barely said a word about it. It makes you wonder where people's priorities are. Perhaps they're used to their computers and "smart" phones doing it automatically that most people don't give it a second thought.
