Well, 2011 is winding down and on December 21st the date of the winter solstice, after mulling through the shortest day of the year, we earthlings will be heading out of darkness, trudging toward the light which will dawn in its full radiance on June 21st, the year’s longest day and the beginning of summer. I don’t know what significance this has for all the other inhabitants of planet earth but - for me - the waning days of November are the first stages of a descent into the doldrums of cold weather, and the hibernation of cabin fever. Sorry. Wish I could project a rosier outlook but the state of the world plays a major influence in my not being energized. Every da…

Eating is fundamental in the American experience. We are an overweight nation of delinquent dieters, furtively preoccupied with feeding our faces. And when it comes to holiday menus, nobody pays more homage to food than traditionalists who remain loyal to the time-consuming dishes that are anachroisms in a society which thrives on instant gratification. In fact, cooking from “scratch” is a badge of distinction reserved for those who spend hours in a kitchen, laboring over a hot stove, stirring and tasting, and wiping their hands on their aprons, Blacks, in their soul food mode, especially like to salivate over “Motha Dear’s” home-made recipes. And, although, with t…

Nowadays the economical crisis in European countries is the top and the highest discussed issue in mass media. Greece, Italy, Portugal… who is the next one? However, in such situation, the European elite is considering ability to give a chance to some different countries. The matter is about EU – Ukraine trade negotiations. For Ukraine it is new levels of trade, investment and growth and new kinds of economic freedom. So, what benefits will Europe receive? First of all it needs to draw attention that joining Free Trade Area is a part of the Association Agreement: the Association Agreement could be the first of its kind under the European Neighborhood Policy. Meanwhile…

Herman Cain problems mount as one allegation after another is leveled against him by various women. Sexual harassment charges came from Sharon Bialek and Karen Kraushaar and an affair with Ginger White have been alleged against the Republican front runner.

Read the interview with Filmmaker Alrick Brown This film was shot in 16 days!

Well, bro Troy, your boy Herman Cain appears to be lying......again. A woman in Georgia, Ginger White, accused Cain of a 13 month affair. I saw Cain being interviewed by Wolf Blitzer yesterday and he categorically denied the affair. He said she was an friend/acquaintance he tried to help get a job. Cain said there was no affair, no sex and any accusations of infidelity was a lie. Well, the woman said she stopped having sex with Cain 8 months ago (when he begain his campaign) and produced private cell phone records and texting (61) from the past four months. The investigators texted the number she gave them and Cain replied! Hmmmmmm..... Now, the ugly part is while Cain wa…

"The 100 best Web Sites for African Americans" http://aalbc.it/100bestsites On April 4, 2003, Earthlink partnered with MOBE (Marketing Opportunities in Business and Entertainment) to present The 100 Best Web Sites for African Americans. I recently reviewed all of these sites to see how they were making out: http://aalbc.it/100bestsites This was really part of much larger effort I've taken on to identify independent Black websites to add to Huria Search http://huria.org I came across this list while looking for sites to add to the the Huria Search index.

The problem of change of a climate, so called as a global warming, has already coated with a gamble, “sensational” publications and numerous myths. Thus, not everybody understands a true nature of new threats and even less society knows about mechanisms of their prevention and elimination. Let’s try to improve a situation, providing correct and a brief information on this issue. The Climate First of all, we will define with concepts. So, the climate is a long-term mode of weather in a certain territory. It is formed under the influence of numerous factors, characterised by a relative constancy and defines conditions of existence of all live in this territory, in parti…

EDITORS NOTE (June 2017): As of March 2016, after a 5 year run, Huria Search’s run as a standalone site ended. I could not longer justify the additional expense. I found the search engine useful so transferred it here: https://aalbc.com/huria/ so that I and a few others could continue to use it. About a year ago Google announced that they are discontinuing the underlying service which drives Hura Search, so i'm note sure how much longer it will continue to operate. Check out Huria Search: http://huria.org Hey everyone If you have not already noticed all the big Black websites have sold out to corporate concerns who more interested in …

DID THE REPUBLICANS ASK FOR HERMAN CAIN'S BIRTH CERTIFICATE/SINCE THEY WANTED TO SEE PRESIDENT OBAMA'S BIRTH CERTIFICATE..THEY,THE REPUBLICANS DO NOT WANT A BLACK PRESIDENT, WHY WOULD THEY SUPPORT HIM/..BLACK REPUBLICANS, HERMAN CAIN,ARMSTRONG WILLIAMS AND SOME BLACK AWARD WINNERS IS THIS THE FUTURE OF BLACK POLITICS/...

A glaring example of how screwed up this country has become is how Republican conservatives are defending Herman Cain against sexual harrassment charges, making up excuses for the doofus they are supporting for president by saying Cain is the victim of a smear campaign - totally ignoring the seriousness of these allegations as if a sexually aggressive black man is no big deal. Adding insult to injury is conservative harpie Ann Colter laying claim to Republicans like Cain and Justice Clarence Thomas by referring to them as "our" Blacks. I am almost reduced to silence by the digust I feel for this situation. Meanwhile, the news of Kim Kardashian's putting her lates…

I'm on this mission to identify independent, Black owned, content providers. I'm most interested in new sources (you know the places where journalists used to work) It is part of a larger effort -- more on that later. At this point I'm not looking for sites producing the content of a single individuals, i.e. a Blog with only one contributor or authors websites promoting a single writer. Think sites like: The Network Journal http://www.tnj.com or The Amsterdam News http://www.amsterdamnews.com/ NOT sites like Black Voices http://www.huffingto...om/black-voices or The Griot http://www.thegrio.com/ Thanks

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…

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.

Misery loves company. The black man's burden: America's promise.

The above message is one of the many making the rounds on Facebook pages and the e-mail circuit. Invariably, it is met with approval and a chorus of “amens“. Me, I ask myself why do people trivalize "god" as some kind of petty old man who pits people against each other, picking and choosing who he's going to let gloat, deciding which ones he will allow to survive a plane crash, or win an award or defeat the other team. Is God really on the side of the person or group or country that happens get what they want at the expense of those who have their hopes dashed or lives ended? Any god that's gonna promise me an alternate to revenge by letting me enjoy the suffering of some…

Well, here's a link to the serialized book I've been babbling about for the past few days. The first chapter awaits.

Smiley and West poverty tour draws criticism, support 12 august 2011 Talk show host Tavis Smiley and academic activist Cornel West embarked last week on a poverty tour to highlight growing inequality in the U.S. Both West and Smiley are vocal critics of President Obama's policies. The bus tour, which expects to stop in 16 cities, opened in Chicago on August 6. It seeks to address the failure of Washington's leaders to confront an across-the-board growth in poverty but particularly among African Americans. Dr. West, who claims the tour is not anti-Obama, in an interview on BET said, "Tavis Smiley and I had been talking for a year about how to dramat…

Has anyone noticed the virtual absence of light(er) complexioned black men and multi-cultural / multi-ethnic black men in media and entertainment? There seems to be no shortage of women on-air and on-screen who are in those categories, but men in those categories are almost non-existent, with the exception of journalism and news reporting. Looks like there's a lot of bias out there against the LSBM community from casting directors, advertisers, etc. They're still stuck in yesteryear and using old stereotypical depictions of black men in America, frequently relegating them to burger commercials and doofus roles - poor grammar, diction and all. Dark complexioned black m…

Looks like Uncle Tom's other nephew and "cousin" of Republican presidential candidate, Herman Cain, is on the hot seat, - news that could deflect some of the criticism black detractors are heaping on Obama. Focusing on the inept Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas instead of the impotent President makes for a good distraction.... Democratic lawmakers on Thursday called for a federal investigation into Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' failure to report hundreds of thousands of dollars on annual financial disclosure forms.

I worked like a dog for him. I was standing on the mall inauguration day along with tens of thousands of others, thrilled at the prospect of the dawn of a new age. It was not simply that he was the first black man with a serious chance of being elected president. I would have been the first one in line to vote against a Clarence Thomas or a Michael Steele. He spoke in the language of a progressive who would fight to make the United States a fairer place—who would fight for universal health care, for public works programs that would put people back to work fixing road and bridges, for laws that would make it easier for workers to form unions and fight for their own rights,…
