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.

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…

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…

"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…

Until Death Do Us Part: 8 Reasons For Marital Failure Amongst African Americans By Dr. Umar Abdullah-Johnson, Psy.D., NCSP, M.Ed. Nationwide (November 6, 2011) -- Discussions about the epidemic are everywhere, from the latest best-selling novels to academic discussions on college campuses, to passionate discussions between Frat brothers & Sister circles. The question everyone wants answered is "WHY?" Unfortunately, many of the traditional reasons you have been given for the premature romantic meltdowns amongst Blacks are inaccurate and insufficient. These very same factors were present when successful Black marriages, created 30 or 40 years ago, w…

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 …

Well, now that I'm on the same label as Adam Mansbach, I've been able to meet him in person & chat with him. He really is White. So I digress on that argument (I had insisted he was a black writer). He's also REALLY cute and kind. But he is NOT...as so many claimed....my King "ABM" (the popular board member on AALBC that I performed a kind of Duo dance for so many years). The web allows people to be anonymous and many of the most famous writers, editors & agents post here at AALBC.COM. There was the rumor that ABM was really Adam Mansbach pretending to be a Black guy and sitting in on our issues year after year---mostly tal…

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 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…

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.

Just in case Herman Cain is lookin for a vice presidential runnin mate.... http://youtu.be/_veRCThylI0

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. Democratic lawmakers on Thursday called for a federal investigation into Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' failure to report hundreds o…

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…

Well, here's a link to the serialized book I've been babbling about for the past few days. The first chapter awaits. They say one picture is worth a thousand words but after taking a look at the cover, you might want to get the juicy details about whether blondes really do have more fun - or do they pale in comparison to a golden girl primed to cure a brotha of jungle fever... http://www.achapteramonth.com/

Where are all the good single black men is a question posed by another post on this board. This is an an intriguing mystery and exploring it could make an interesting plot for a book. Coincidentally, I just happened to have written a novel that is a variation on the theme of a good black man being hard to find. But, as we all know, good and bad are relative… My urban contemporary romance novel soon to be released is entitled “The Only One”, and its story revolves around the familiar dilemma single “sistas” face when access to romantic prospects is frozen out by a flurry of “snowflakes”. The “black babe/white chick/black dude” triangle is a fact that continues to pro…

Presumably this came from Actor Bill Cosby. I got it in an email from a buddy. It sounds like something Bill would write, but it really does not matter too much in that I can relate to some of his sentiments. I'm not nearly as old as he is, and have not lost a child to murder or realized his financial sucess, but somethings are universal for men how have raised children in this society and have been around long enough to see how jacked up things ae becoming. What do y'all think? Bill Cosby: "I'm 76 and Tired" I'm 76. Except for brief period in the 50's when I was doing my National Service, I've worked hard since I was 17. Except for some some serious health ch…

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…

I’m sure I’m in the minority when I heave a sigh and roll my eyes and gripe at the way the upcoming anniversary of the 911 episode is being hyped. But then I don’t care about being a lone voice in a chorus of blubbering babble. That’s how I roll. OK, 10 years ago, a handful of Arabs with a minimal amount of effort and weaponry neutralized America’s state-of-the-art defense technology when a few hi-jacked airplanes flew into buildings, killing over 2,000 souls in NY and DC and PA. Tragic. Shocking. Yet, Death has a way of being random, casting its pall on anyone at any time. And it never takes a holiday. Thousands of people, young, old, Black, White, Asian, Christia…

Question #1: Aside from the fact that they both involved drips, what do Kim Kardashian's wedding and Hurricane Tropical Storm Irene have in common? Answer: All the hoopla was more "la" than "hoop", courtesy of a disapppointed media. Question: #2: With the revelation of her pregnancy, will Beyonce's new baby inherit her beauty and Jay-Z's brains??? Answer: We can only pray. Question #3: Where in the world is Chris Hayden???? It's times like these that we need the benefit of his inimitable analyses of current events. Answer: he retired to a monestary to watch re-runs of Mayberry RFD.

I'm really starting to notice that most black men arent attracted to white women. i use to think the majority of black men prefer white women if given the chance but im starting to notice that the women who turn a majority of black mens heads tend to be black or latina or a dark skinned asian. my conclusion is black mens preference lies somewhere in the middle...light skinned black women and latinas but i even see plenty beautiful dark skinned sisters getting stared down by black men. i think black men jsut on average prefer brown to golden skin and wavy hair on women. rarely do you see a black man staring down a white woman. the mall i work at its like white wo…
