Should the U.S. provide reparations for slavery and Jim Crow? Carlton Mark Waterhouse, Indiana University Editor’s note: This article is part of our collaboration with Point Taken, a new program from WGBH that will next air on Tuesday, May 10 on PBS and online at pbs.org. The show features fact-based debate on major issues of the day, without the shouting. The debate over reparations in the United States began even before slavery ended in 1865. It continues today. The overwhelming majority of academics studying the issue have supported the calls for compensating black Americans for the centuries of chattel slavery and the 100 years of lynching, mob viol…

Dr. Sandra Jowers-Barber, assistant professor of history at the University of the District of Columbia interviews Sylvia Y. Cyrus, Executive Director of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History now called the Association for the Study of African American Life and History was founded by Dr. Carter G. Woodson in 1915 in response to the lack of information on the accomplishments of African Americans. Dr. Woodson, who died in 1950, didn't start his formal education until he was 20 years old. From that late academic beginning he went on to become the second African American to earn a PhD f…

Video: 94 year-old Tom Wood, the first Black person to take their company public and the first be a on a major U.S. bank’s board of directors. I had the pleasure of meeting Tom a couple of weeks ago. The video I created really does not do the man and his accomplishments justice, but people like Tom have to be recognized more and this video is my small part. Tom also published his memoir, Anna’s Boy, this year.

Even though blacks and Southern "redneck" white have traditionally been arch enemies throughout American history, they may have more of a common cultural heritage than meets the eye. On Youtube, black conservative columnist Thomas Sowell posted a video called Where Does Current Black Culture Come From. I have a link below to the abridged version of the video. The unabridged version is about an hour long. If you have the time, it might be worth checking out. That video was really an eye-opener! Not too many people would suspect that the urban, gh…

I'm curious about what economic "System" exists or should exist wherein a country can "have it both ways", - a utopian paradise where there is prosperity and equality for all, replete with a guarantee that everybody, both the ordinary and the extraordinary, will live the good life. Socialism and Communism are rejected as ideal because they are about The State owning and controlling everything, proceeding on the dubious theory that everybody will benefit equally as long as the masses are kept under control. Capitalism is criticized because it spawns the free enterprise opportunities that facilitate the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer via a pro…

It's been 100 years since the last time the party in control of the House had a hard time electing a Speaker. The GOP has a narrow majority in the House and Rep. Kevin McCarthy wants to be the Speaker. Yet, McCarthy is about 20 votes within his own party short of getting it. So far, over 2 days, he has failed 6 times to secure enough votes. Congress decided to adjourn until noon tomorrow. Then, they will resume wasting taxpayers dollars. 🤣😎

As my 92nd birthday approaches on August 18th, I have drifted into a reflective mood. At this point in my journey I'm experiencing a need to look back and reflect, even as I wonder if I'll make it to August 18th, considering how much my health has deteriorated during the past few months, a situation that renders me as ready as I'll ever be to blow this pop stand. This ol world is currently so screwed up and, imo, on a collision with what I think will be changes so drastic that I will be out of my element. So, whatever. All the points of view and personal philosophies of those who regularly post here, especially as it pertains to the black condition, have i…

ICE showed in Minnesota to round up folks on the back end the fraud scandal that has dogged the state over several weeks. Unfortunately, a 37-year-old woman was fatally shot as her vehicle appeared to be heading towards an ICE officer. He pulled his weapon and fired into the driver side window. It was only a matter of time before someone either got seriously injured or killed as ICE runs around in cities rounding people up. What started as an immigration enforcement initiative is quickly becoming a weird game of bounty hunter. So far, neither DHS Secretary nor POTUS OJ has said the right thing in the aftermath of this traged…

Well, here we go again. What follows is hopefully the last time I will bore AALBC, recalling life as I knew it growing up black in a small interracial midwestern town where "negros" were a tiny minority, confined to their own little community. Bear with me while I take a different approach to revisiting my early years, focusing on the setting that was the back drop for life as I remember it beginning when I was about 5 which would have been 77 years ago. Obviously, everybody had a childhood, a way station in their life's journey which embodied the joys and woes that came with the territory of growing up. To me, what makes anybody's childhood unique is the era i…

And here we all are in the U.S. with some rather dense-minded black Americans still walking around in circles, while trying to figure out who's really kicking their a$$es. Just ask the white folks in (what's now perceived as) fascist Canada, who's kicking their a$$es, literally.

Several months ago, we were told gas prices were going up as a result of the *ahem* conflict. Nevermind that the US only gets 2% of its oil from Russia. Most US oil comes from OPEC. Then, there's US oil reserves as a result of pumping a half million or more barrels per day over many years. In other words, there's no good reason for the price of gas to hit a $5 per gallon average or higher anywhere in America. Yet, the greedy oil companies and their allies will get away with it because Americans are too complacent to complain. I had a feeling that after a 2-year lockdown due to a pandemic and economic slow down and raisin…

I feel that when a culture or government allows this sort of horror to go improperly punished, then eventually the whole world will be affected.

How many ballots does one think it will take before Kevin McCarthy is voted in as House Speaker? Or IF he is voted in. Besides being a villainous and unconscionable fraud, McCarthy also hosted Birthers in his House office - in the Capitol. Nice guy. I wonder if anyone cares to query him these days as to whether Barack Obama was born in the United States. For all you lovers of the GOP, this dysfunction is the just the beginning of the next two years.

The two paramedics who injected Elijah McCLain with ketamine have been found guilty: https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/paramedics-elijah-mcclain-death-ketamine-colorado-jury-ruling/ That's a start. The police officers involved need to be found guilty as well. Every last one of them, police and paramedics failed that young man and ultimately took his life. It's not enough to fire these clowns because they'll show up somewhere else and get a law enforcement job. Lock them up.😎

The commentary quoted below is circulating around META. It expresses a popular point of view, but its message doesn't uplift me. It disturbs me. America is what it is, and the Trump trend shows no sign of abating. ******** "I’ve been watching an absolutely heroic amount of pearl-clutching lately from people who insist that J.D. Vance would somehow be “worse” than Trump once Trump’s inevitable political and biological expiration arrives. Let’s get something straight: it has never been about Trump, not for one second. Trump is just the mascot. The real story is the people who finally saw themselves in him and felt va…

Seems like every week Barry got something else new--a new crisis, a new meeting, a new announcement, a new summit I was wondering what he was up to--maybe he was panicking, running around like a chicken with his head cut off, that sort of thing. Then I got to thinking Maybe his idea is to keep the pressure up and by sheer force of constant hammering wear his foes down. All them lazy Congressmen by now got to be so tired of debating and voting they might start giving in-- I wonder though Can he physically keep this up?

It’s bad enough that show biz divas are caught up in the latest fad, somehow convinced that the rest of the world gives a damn about their pregnancies as they flaunt their baby bumps in tight dresses that make their figures look like the question marks that come to mind with the announcement of the bizarre names chosen for the squalling little snots they pop out. Lately, another craze is invading the realm of dysfunctional circles, competing for public attention. Anorexia, bulimia, self-mutilation are not enough to evoke sympathy for skeletal starlets who hate themselves, or brooding hunks who’ve taken to poppin pills. The equal opportunity offense of being molested as a …

Okay, let me preview this article: I posted this scientific finding about the MUTATION of Brown eyes to being Blue due to a recent post on the subjects in a couple of threads. My parents tell me, out of my siblings that I was born with blue eyes and red hair and red skin. By the time of my 4th month baby picture, I can see that my eyes were light brown, and my hair and skin was very red. Not anymore. My siblings came out brown. One of my younger siblings was born very chocolate and she was clean bald but later, she grew beautiful and very black hair that does not ‘fro’, but it has a combination texture. A couple of years ago, scientist determined that BLUE EY…
