In 2024, 65% of all searches resulted in zero clicks! That is a staggering statistic. I read somewhere on mobile that figure was 75% in 2024. Of course, this will increase in 2025 as Google continues to increase its use of AI on its "search" engine. The crazy things is the reason that people don't have to click links is that Google's AI is providing answers to visitors from content taken from the website that Google used to send visitors to! Of course, it is far more efficient for the users to get answers from AI -- so users will never complain. However, what incentive do content creators have if Google is just going to p…

Pity newsman Juan Williams. NPR fired him cuz he confessed to being unnerved by anybody dressed like Ali Baba or Scherazade who happened to be boarding the same flying carpet with him. This has really sparked a debate. I'm filled with mixed emotions because I have never cared for the unctuous Williams, but I, too, find garbed Muslims scarey, especially since between prostrating themselves in prayer 5 times a day, brothers of this faith stone their sisters to death should they lose their virginity before marriage. And "Mary" ain't even an Arabic name. Naturally, conservative zealots are up-in-arms accusing the liberal media, as exemplified by NPR, of violating J…

No denying that computer honcho Steve Jobs was phenomenal. A man of, and for his times. Upon his untimely death, to me, the most surprising thing revealed about this "think- outside-the-box college drop-out", - an adopted child raised by a white middleclass family, was that his biological father was Syrian, making Jobs half-Arab. Small world, made even smaller by how we have all become electronically connected thanks to the genius of Jobs.

Adidas JS Roundhouse Mids LOS ANGELES - Only a few days after revealing a bizarre sneaker online, Adidas has decided to squelch the design that some people have labeled as racist and insensitive to slavery. Adidas posted a Facebook photo of the JS Roundhouse Mids, a shoe that comes with a plastic shackle attached to it. The company tried to market the shoe as a trendy design that it’s wearer would not want to remove. “Got a sneaker game so hot you lock your kicks to your ankles?” Adidas asked on its Facebook post. But the only game some online viewers saw was an unnecessary toying with slavery, which led Adidas to cancel the shoe’s August release. The sneaker…

Greetings. The idea that people who are homosexual and wish to be married should be able to do so and have this marriage recognized in all aspects is becoming increasingly popular. Perceptions of gender/roles are changing rapidly, as are families and society in general in response to these changes in perceptions. (From Michel Martin's "Tell me More" show on npr.) When people debate gay marriage, some argue that it could lead to legalized polygamy. Host Michel Martin asks how, and if it would even matter. She speaks with Austin Nimocks of the Alliance Defense Fund and Jonathan Rauch of the Brookings Institution. http://www.npr.org/2012/05/31/154064922/would-…

It's pitiful to see how Obama is constantly manipulated by the Republicans into doing THEIR dirty work for them. Just like Obama Care...... A right wing health care beauracracy designed to make the Insurance companies even richer. The Republicans TRICKED Obama and the Democrats (who originally wanted Universal Healthcare) into not only supporting such a bill but actually spearheading and leading it. It's the same with escalating the war in Afganistan, expanding the war into Pakistan, the war in Libya, and now what looks like the future war in Syria. They love to go to war, but they know the American public is tired of war and is against it so they had to fi…

@Troy Am I violating any copyrights, etc? I just wanted to share this article because it was so apropos of what has been discussed on this board. Black Men Rally Behind Leslie Jones with #BlackMenSupportLeslie 4 CULTURE by Elle – August 26, 2016 Leslie Jones was the victim of a vicious hack on her website yesterday, with her nude photos and personal information, including her driver’s license and passport photos being posted. Thousands have voiced support for Leslie, labeling the attack racist and sexist, using hashtags like #LoveforLeslieJ and #SupportLeslieJ. However, a new hashtag came up that may have been a bit of a surprise, …

This sister breaks it down as to why she considers herself an American and embrace America as her country, and as a Black man I feel similarly. She makes an excellent point about racist Trump supporters wanting to take back "their" country. Hell, Trump's parents or grandparents are from SCOTLAND....most Black people have ancestors who've gone back 10 or 15 generations on this land! Also, listen to the West Indian who calls in around 15 minutes later who also articulates as to why Black Americans should embrace their country. Black people helped build this country, it's silly to let OTHER people (many of them children of immigrants or immigrants themselves) embrac…

My final take on the "Black Panther" euphoria, has predictably congealed into cynicism. The black panther character first appeared as an antagonist to Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four in 1966. which according to some accounts, was the same year a cabal of young black militants in Oakland, California, inspired by the heroics of this character, envisioned the image of a black panther as a logo for their nascent organization. Subsequently learning that the symbol had already been adopted in 1965 by another political group from Alabama known as the Lowndes County Freedom Organization, Bobby Seal and Huey Newton perhaps made these activists an offer they couldn't refuse and - …

What is CRT & Can this be Correlated to Face Mask Mandates? It seems like some aggressive parents, students, teachers, and school members are angry about what is being taught in the classroom about ‘Racism’ but in some strange twist, the issue of ‘wearing face mask’ is being associated with this concern about ‘teaching about racism’ as it correlates to the First Amendment. Or are they two separate issues that happened to be crucial topics of the day? Last week I read an article about some school board members and their complaint about teaching CRT [C.R.T.—Critical Race Theory] and then later analyst say that this may be a First Amendment violation!?…

Have any of you been following the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and NATO's response? It seems to me that an actual "hot war" has just begun between NATO and Russia. Not only have several large explosions and mushroom clouds been spotted around Russia these past few days, but some are saying that the situation in Hawaii was a military operation by either Russia or North Korea.

Financial Federalism This edition of the Economic Corner has three articles in the following chronological order, after my thoughts 1) The legality of the Executive branch in the second term of Schrumpf 2) The need for efficiency in the Federal Government and how it became ever more inefficient in the nineteen hundreds 3) The failure of presidencies before Schrumpfs first term from elephants or donkeys to diminish the federal governments bureaucracy while make it a better operator.

This black sexuality debate between us calls for a separate thread, Pioneer. You seek to santize polygamy by putting it in the context of marriage and you further seek to justify it by citing some mythical, undocumented “scientific studies” which you claim prove that all black men have an overload of testosterone. You then proceed to deduce from this that monogymy is unnatural for these insatiable brutes, further asserting that courtship is a white amenity and that black people are simply imitating Whites when they go through this formality because their true nature is to dispense with any romantic ritual and get right to the business of fuckin’. You add that sympa…

I don't need to go to church to be reminded to "like" God and accept him as my "friend". All I have to do is to scroll down FaceBook and God, whose screen name is "Jesus" , is shoved down my throat with praises of his glory and promises of his reliability and threats of his wrath. Religion still elicts yawns and shrugs from me. Occasionally, however, it provides me with a good laugh and, ironically, FaceBook is once again the source of this comic relief.

The Deer, the Goblet & the Lily Bells—BLACK AFRICAN ORIGIN Solomon & the Beja, Part I In the past, I have had an intense debate and dialogue on the ancient book written by Solomon, THE SONGS OF SOLOMON, and presented a lot of detailed references. This book becomes extremely intense at times for me because I am a woman and Solomon’s writings are graphic, and from a man’s point-of-view. WHEW. At any rate, his book also becomes mind blowing and flattering to the affect that it takes a lot of emotional preparation in order to study it. No wonder I have never heard this book preached from the pulpit, or at least, that becomes my wonder. Something ha…

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.

Over the years, I've encountered many individuals who remain curious about who was Black in the Bible. A lot of them spout legends and myths are absolute falsehoods. Some even mention individuals who actually never appear in the Scriptures. So I did research and here are my findings. When compiling this data, I incorporated the claims made on different Websites and by many individuals. I chose to stick with only what I found in the Bible. This way, I would not codify legends, myths and feel good tales. That's how we ended up with a White Jesus. One thing I discovered is that the Bible rarely mentions the skin color of those in the Scriptures. 1) Some believe …

I just want to start out by saying that I am not a race denier. I believe, from an anthropological standpoint, that there are only three races. There is the Caucasian race, the Negroid race, and the Mongoloid race. Although originating in the Caucasus Mountains, the Caucasian race consists of white Europeans, Arabs, and East Indian (both dark skinned and light-skinned). The Mongoloid or Asian race includes the Japanese, Koreans, Chinese, Filipinos, Indonesians, and what we would term American Indians. The Negroid or Africoid race involves Sub-Saharan black Africans. However, the Australoid race kind of defies a racial category because they have a sim…

https://www.cornelwest2024.com/ballotaccess According to the website, Dr. West is on the ballot in 15 states, write-in (23), no-write in (8) and pending (3). Dr. West has chosen Dr. Melina Abdullah as VP running mate. Theirs is probably the 1st ticket with two Ph.Ds on it.😁 Of course, under the 2-party system Dem and GOP, Dr. West's campaign gets little or no media coverage. Remains to be seen if Dr. West will continue his aspirations by running for another political office. He could also start a non-profit. Regardless, I'd imagine Dr. West will continue to lecture and advocate for the poor and working class.😎

Most of you ladies on here seem to be over 40 years old, but some others of you may be in your 20s and 30s. I have a question for you and I'd like you to be TOTALLY honest. Straight up and down. I'm talking about in terms of pure SEXUAL attraction; not maturity, status, looking responsible, etc...but in terms of somebody you'd hop in bed with...lol. How do you feel about grey (white) hair on a man? I'm talking about on top of the head AND/OR in the beard? In other words, if all the other physical factors were the same....would it make a difference if a man's hair was dark, salt-n-pepper, or full grey? Would he be MORE attractive with dar…

A recent article by controversial Chicago Sun-times columnist, Neil Steinberg, advanced a theory that he shared with his readers because he wanted to observe Black history month from a different angle. In making his case, Steinberg cited a study that took place over 20 years ago. It was administered by Harvard sociologists and it tested young children to determine the long term effects of an experiment where these kindergarteners were given a choice to accept a single treat right away, or to wait until later and get 2 treats. The testers followed the particpants in this study for 20 years and found that those who waited and got the extra treat, fared better in lif…

The latest goal of any self-respecting celebrity is to be nominated to participate in a ritual that will benefit a charity established to finance research on ALS, a devastating disease that evenutally totally incapacitates its victims. So what better way to show your support for finding a cure for this fatal affliction than to have a bucket of ice water dumped on your head? Doing this generates a donation to this charity - or something like that. The other requisite is to make one’s participation in this ceremony official by providing a video of the event to be made public via the various media outlets. Everybody who is anybody is lining up for this baptism that will wash…

According to an article published by Nielsen. African Americans also. Listen to the radio for more than 48 hours 56 hours using apps or mobile Internet browsers on their smartphones two and a half hours watching videos on their smartphones Presumably some of these Black folks work a 40 hour week (160 hrs per month), which is a bold assumption given the economy. I would also assume these folks sleep for 7 hours a day or (roughly 210 hours a month), a luxury to be sure. Maybe an hour of eating, and an hour of caring care of personal things (bathing, and other bathroom related activities). Assuming a 30 day month, we have 720 hours to work with. Taking the informat…

OK, Troy, here's your lunch!. Social media is all "a-twitter" over the latest flavor of the week, an uproar stemming from NFL bi-racial quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s choosing to sulk on the bench instead of standing up during the traditional flag raising ceremony that accompanied a rendition of the national anthem at a preseason football game last week The explanation he gave to avid reporters crowding the San Francisco 49er's locker room after the incident, was something to the effect that America is mistreating its citizens of color and this is his way of protesting injustice. Kaepernick is the offspring of a single white mother and an absentee black father and was …

I understand the excitement of special election wins by Democrats, Dong Jones, Conor Lamb, etc. And I see the importance of blocking the doors to more of Trump’s nepotism and political opportunists, paving the way for possible impeachment or criminal indictment; but am I unreasonable to condemn African American enthusiasm of a Democratic control of Congress that may only stall the inevitable, whatever that is?

The Deer, the Goblet & the Lily Bells—BLACK AFRICAN ORIGIN Solomon & the Beja, Part I Introduction Cont. Brown is NOT the New Black About the book SONG OF SOLOMON; Because this type of literature in the Bible has never been a mandatory requirement for African American Descendants of Slaves to study here in the ‘federal’ American government in a formal learning environment, therefore, it cannot be emphasized enough how certain misinterpretations have led to common false beliefs that have come about especially in this book SONG OF SOLOMON. Because of the lack of formal education about many ancient books, even in books published…

6) In the Bible, Hagar is described as Sarah’s Egyptian maidservant; and later, Abraham’s concubine and the mother of Ishmael. Again, some Black people are taking much liberal license by claiming everyone in Egypt was Black. Remember, the Bible identifies Egypt and Ethiopia separately. 7) Asenath, is supposed to be the daughter of an Egyptian priest. Again, no description of this woman is given in the Bible. So, one cannot call her Black. Tirhaka, also known as Taharga, was indeed Black and he did have an army of chariots who came to the aid of Israelite King Hezekiah. The Jewish king had launched a revolt against Assyrian King Sennacherib. But Tirhaka i…
