This is why you don’t lie and make up salacious garbage for attention - or out of jealousy. Because celebrity blogger Latasha Kebe loved doing this and attacked rapper Cardi B relentlessly, posting 20 videos to YouTube in 2018 accusing her of having herpes, using cocaine and being a prostitute. I'm not a Cardi B fan. But I am lover of Truth. None of Tasha K's allegations were true and in 2019, Cardi B sued the lying witch for libel and defamation in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia in Atlanta. Tasha K lives in Georgia, according to Rolling Stone magazine. Well, guess what? Jurors who heard the case and all the vile smears have re…

Here's a pastor in South Africa who plotted to overthrow the Black ruling government and poison thousands of innocent Black people. Harry Johannes Knoesen, 61, a leader of the National Christian Resistance Movement, on Monday, (June 6, 2022) was found guilty of high treason, incitement to carry out violent attacks and recruiting people to commit attacks, according to several news and wire reports. Knoesen’s group explored the possibility of using a biological weapon to infect and kill Black people, including the poisoning of water reservoirs supplying Black communities, according to the prosecution. South Africa was once ruled by the vicious Afrikaa…

AfroAmericans dealing with Police Brutality Incidences & and Now This! -- The FBI Raided A Black Organization in Connection With Russia & Russian Propaganda Why in the world would African Americans start a minority socialist party today!? This video topic, two of them, kept popping up into my channel and although I kept deleting it, it still continue to pop up. I was SO NOT INTERESTED in certain aspects of it, especially the socialist aspect of it. I'm thinking--Why in the world would an African American want to be associated with a socialist party today!? Honestly, I do not completely understand the concept and how it …

Well, Yall. today is my birthday. I made it; the big 9-0. i don't know why I'm still here and so many young blacks are gone, losing their lives on a daily basis to gun violence. Life is a bitch... Here i am, chillin on my daughter's porch, bidding my bucket list "good bye". I have no idea why this picture is sooo huge! In fact, "i know that i know nothing." I may be back sooon to share some of my ignorance with you.

Each week, I will share a list of 5 books you can read to educate your selves about these empowering women in our history. I will also share a one-minute video – a Nappy Narrative – with a few quick and interesting facts about my “Nappy Ladies.” This week we kick things off with the fiery orator Sojourner Truth who fought against slavery and in favor of women’s rights.

Well, another show biz legend bites the dust. Robins Williams' death certainly warmed up the crowd for the Joan River's show. The attention given to their sudden deaths by the media has been relentless to a fault. But it's a sign of the times. Pop culture vultures have an avid appetite for circling the carcasses of famous creatures. Excuse me while I wipe the blood off my beak. Still, I mourn Joan's passing, myself. I have always felt a special kinship with her because we were the same age, 2 cynical ol broads, dismissive of superficiality and maudlin sentimentality. She ridiculed celebrities, bad mouthed their wardrobes and personal lives, shied awa…

For the last 8 years I've heard that President Obama hasn't addressed African-American Issues affecting the black community. What are the issues facing 21st century Black America? If we were to draft a legislative proposal agenda to present at the state level, what would we demand?

The video below is a 1 minute clip from a 2017 documentary, Age of Uncertainty - Time, Cosmology, Quantum Physics and Philosophy. I threw in the religion, for religion save the dogmas is philosophical in nature and is related to the issues raised in our recent conversations, The New Religion and Knowledge vs Science.

What is it that you feel you have mastered? And what or who has you enslaved I believe my ability to recognise patterns is pretty good. Emotions, they don't always make sense but provide great comedy and enliven tragedy.

Director and actor Robert Townsend shares his affinity for “Blaxploitation” films and how it was the first time he saw Black characters in films as superheroes. [VID: Interview with actor Robert Townsend. Transcript: For one, I hate the term black exploitation because that was the very first time I got to see black folks in lead roles kicking butt and being like all the other heroes that I had grew up on from Bogart to Cagney to John Wayne. You name it. So it was a period where Fred Williamson was my hero. Pam Greer was my hero. Rudy Ray Moore, it wasn't, I hate that they always say it was exploitation. No, Hollywood made a lot of money. Hollywood made a…

Has Fani Willis ‘lost her mind’, with the indictment of Donald Trump and his co-defendant’s in the heart of the ‘old’ Confederacy? Is she trying to restart the Civil War with the indictment of so many White people in Georgia? Fanning the flames of simmering racism. Does she have a devil, as the scribes proclaimed of Jesus in Mark 3:21? In an 2020 election so close, 11,700 votes short by Trump, is his trying to ‘obtain’ those votes by 'any means necessary', worth racketeering charges by Willis in 2023? Is Fani Willis, as they asked of Jesus, 'insane'? Mark 3:21 – Jesus’s friends said, “He is out of His mind.” ‘ Lost his senses’ …

Do yall think shit like this is FOR REAL real....as in unrehearsed? Part of me thinks it's all phony and staged. And part of me thinks most of it is real but heavily edited. Because you usually don't see people come right out and disrespect others so blatantly, I would think the person they're pranking would suspect it IS some sort of joke or "set up" and not react too violently. However crazy and unstable people DO exist and people who do around trying to "punk" and chump people for views are playing a very dangerous game.

I've spoken about this subject with several current educators and the verdict is largely the same, were have lost a generation of students and we are in for a "shit-show" (my phrase based upon what I've heard). Our reaction to the pandemic has made an existing problem FAR worse. In one school system students are 5 grade levels behind upon graduation and are being pushed out the door with a meaningless diploma. My information is purely anecdotal, bit one sister I spoke with was apoplectic over the situation in her system. It was also a community in which gun violence, already high, is increasing (that was a correlation I made later). I…

If you pay close attention to Trump and the Republican rhetoric on immigration......you'll notice that they're starting to focus their aim and target BLACK immigrants like Haitians. At first it was ALL illegal immigrants. Then the focus was on Venezuelan immigrants. Now they are focusing their sights on Haitian immigrants and not distinguishing between the legal ones OR illegal ones. If you also notice...... Through out the years when Trump promised to deport millions of illegal immigrants, he didn't identify any nationality. He simply said "illegals" and left it at that. When asked for specifics on how he'd do it....he wouldn't give an answer. He'd b…

This Sunday morning while listening to some old Hiphop music I was listening to Onyx's "Slam" (stop tryna be as loud as ME cuz' you can't do dat) and one of the lines was: "Peace to the bruthaz on Ricker's Isle" Then I thought about these government officials who refused to drop the charges against Eric Adams and would rather resign instead to prove some sort of point or in the name of "justice" and then I thought about Riker's Island and the MANY THOUSANDS of men who have been locked up for month and months and in many cases YEARS in that fucking dungeon awaiting "trial". Many of them were killed or just died of natural causes in that jail not yet having their d…

We are constantly looking for answers to questions .Will I get the job, the home, the partner et cetera. Now i am thinking more of what is the right question.

It's becoming increasingly obvious that many influencers in these so-called "New Black Media" and "FBA" movements that have been springing up all over social media for the past several years are actually Republican shills masquerading as Black content creators of independent thought. As much as they speak about tangibles for our vote, Reparations, and celebration of our lineage....there are several things they all seem to have in common: 1. They almost never criticize President Trump or the Republican party 2. They constantly criticize the Democrat Party and Democratic politicians both White and Black 3. They are very much anti Black immigrant. It …

Nate Parler Interviewed on Birth of a Nation October 2016

From time to time I run ads on this website that have nothing to do with books, but are services that I actually use and have no problem endorsing. Of course I never link to a corporate site without getting something in return. In this case the people I refer get a meaningful discount. In the case of Uber, this can cover a entire ride. In the case of Google Express, it can mean a few free boxes of cereal from Costco. But the real benefit, from my perspective is that I earn an additional referral fees for anyone I get to sign up. Plus those that I sign up can get the same benefits I do when they, in turn, get others to try these services. This can transl…

Who’s Who!? In Memory of the Pointer Sisters' Career Okay, it took me hours to figure out who is who of the Pointer Sisters. And so, since I read that many people had the same problem that I did, I decided to put some names to some of the pictures of the sisters. After researching and listening to their music for hours, I really can say, I believe they are so awesome and will cherish their memory. Three of the Pointer sisters have passed and now, only one is still alive and I hope that she will live on for many more years to come. At any rate following is a brief historical account of each of the sisters and their pictur…

Black Misery Is... Believing you are woke, but realizing you are fast asleep. 😉 I was collecting information about a literary magazine, Brown Sugar, that I plan on adding to the site when I discovered this description: “Brown Sugar is a womanist literary magazine for women, womxn, and womyn of color, of any nationality, sexuality, religion, or cultural diasporas that are misrepresented and underrepresented.” I've seen womyn before but, womxn was a new one on me. My understanding of what I thought womyn meant seemed to preclude the need for womxn. Obviously I was wrong. Issues of gender, transphobia, sexism collide to…

Here's a treat for some of you Negro Conservatives and Republicans who love to complain about the neglect of Black America by the Democrat Party. Needless to say, I don't agree with much of it. But he DOES have some good point.

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.

Below is an interesting comment to an article on the site, "The Music Moguls Who Bled Millions from a Black Legend" by Reclamation Project. (Note: Someone from the Nation must have given me permission to run this article and I must have had an explicit reason to run it as I rarely republish entire articles that have been published elsewhere it is bad for SEO) What do you think about the article linked at the end of the commentor's post ("Motown’s abuse of its artists")? In an earlier version of the comment Minister Farrakhan was referred to as "Sinister Farra-Con." I deleted that version as the comments were the same save the gratuitous diss. J…

Economic Corner - profitability of an artist My Thoughts From 70,000 to 80,000 was what jane austen made. Happy belated birthday to her. When I think of artist in general who have made more after death than alive the list is long and that includes many Black artist. I think Basquiat is the example that stings the most cause Jean Michel's artform, streetart by many blacks to this day is deemed inappropriate , evil, low quality, and yet , on the pieces of wood or metal , if you have a Basquiat original, you can earn millions in a sale. But the lesson from Jane Austen is clear, the financial value of an artist work is not determinable. It is completely relative to a time…

The first thing a defeated general does is repair his shattered formations and comfort and revivify his defeated troops. When I see Obama overseas getting pimpslapped in Seoul I realize he ain't got a clue. He needs to understand he don't get to go to these swell meetings unless he gets re elected and that he has a big problem with the electorate. He has to understand that he has been defeated and now he is fighting for survival. If the election were held today, he would lose. He has t go to work on that. Specifics? He needs to give in all the way on extending the tax cuts, but cut the best bargain he can for them. Maybe extend them si…

The [prophetic] James Baldwin was a guest of honor at The National Press Club in 1986. This clip includes an introduction, speech and question and answer session - which turned out to be the most dynamic part of the evening. Produced by C-SPAN.
