Heavyweight boxing champ and businessman George Foreman has passed away yesterday March 21st. I'm more proud of him eventually becoming a successful businessman than a successful boxer. May our good and beloved brother rest in peace and power.

The new administration clown car just pulled off 2 weeks ago. Already, one of the clowns is already in full performance mode. Secretary of Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem is doing ride-a-longs with ICE agents. Secretary Noem is a cabinet-level official dressing up like she's going to jump out and arrest folks. Nevermind that border czar Tom Homan is already stomping around in the same capacity. POTUS OJ is reopening Guantanamo Bay to hold up to 30K detainees prior to deportation. White folks are having a field day with rounding up immigrants they believe are a threat to America.😎

For those who have rolled into 2026, let's hope that it is a year filled with Love, Joy, Peace, Prosperity, Health and Happiness.🎉 In the meantime, I will continue calling balls & strikes i.e. offering my opinions/perspectives on whatever comes up around here. I enjoy the easy chair I've taken up.🤣 As always, many thanks to brotha @Troy for providing & maintaining this platform. Much appreciated.😎

Tariq Nasheed briefly talks about the Conspiratorial atrocities racists are committing in Africa while going off on anti-AfroAmerican Africans.....

In this age of gemini, era of pisces, I believe we should take care and be aware of the next upcoming age/era. It may be a very difficult shift but nothing so difficult it couldn't be overcome. Eras are easier to shift from than ages because of how grand the ages are, but overall when the change happens I feel they'll be a lot of good out in the world to spread.

Here are some question for Black History Month 2023, I answered them at the following link. What Black artists have inspired you, and what about their work do you find inspiring?

My man Tariq Nasheed called somebody's idea stupid ass "rent em spoons" idea. I had to look that up to figure out what he meant by that and it took me back to one of my favorite shows....MARTIN, lol. That shit was over 30 years ago, I don't know why that was even still on Tariq's mind but it was funny as hell.

The same year in which a white female director earned huge acclaim for her film barbie, Nia Dacosta a black female director has helmed The Marvels, a film that has become in media , not reality, the tombstone of superhero films. thoughts? I want to say one thing...the CEO of disney made an excellent financial note, not every film from marvel is going to break a billion, it shouldn't really, that is the history of movie making. On the other hand, while I agree with a reviewer [who used a different tone than the following] that films involving non white male christians in the superhero film world or multiracial casts has put off white male christian audien…

Spirituality is the counterbalance to our body, personality and all that is tangible. The body is a ship and spirituality is our anchor in the higher realms. You could exhange spirituality with world view or existential contemplation of essence. Religion is a lower order manifestation of spirtuality. Analogous to the word apple and the object. So your spiritual approach defines and informs your actions personality, thought process, and emotions. All of the later terms are constructs or a way to embody the intangible essence. These constructs are what make life feel real. Its easier to argue religion or spirituality. Than the reality of your body. Yet you…

Some folks are in a tizzy because POTUS PJB fist bumped the Saudi crown prince MBS. Those people are still salty because MBS ordered the execution of a journalist. It's a business trip for POTUS PJB. Saudi Arabia can open the spigot (OPEC) and flood the market with oil. I believe US national average gas prices will drop below $4 per gallon this fall right before the midterm elections. When gas is cheaper Americans will be wishing POTUS PJB hugged MBS. 🤣 Politcs is a dirty business. Then, there is a darker side. 😎

Adm Holsey was head of US Southern Command which is responsible for military operations in the Caribbean and Latin America. Lately, POTUS OJ has been ordering strikes on boats in international waters accusing them of transporting narcotics mainly fentanyl. Fentanyl is a huge concern to white folks as it has been killing them. Unlike cocaine and methamphetamines, it doesn't take much fentanyl to kill the user. Some folks also believe the US …

I just got this information across my screen and wanted to share it. There is a seminar approaching https://melanin.solar/academy/

Troy, you should know that just as you don't stop thinking of ways to improve AALBC and make it better, there are those of us who feel the same about your site. Obviously not as intensely and with not as much dedication, however from time to time as I'm out and about or surfing the web for something I'll see something that I feel would be great for AALBC to consider. After being here for over a decade and counting, there are a few things I've noticed about this site............ 1. Most of the literature being presented is that of a fictional nature. Not a lot of scientific or financial books. Not too many political books. Some....but not the majority…

https://apnews.com/article/egg-prices-record-bird-flu-a2394bdefc7bd0514d4f003cc5e8a908 In the US, egg prices are steadily going up from a bird flu outbreak. Millions of birds have been affected and will not be making it to a nearby belly.😁 Interestingly, the price of chicken isn't rising too. Neither in grocery stores, fast foo places or restaurants. 🤔 Like a gallon of gas, egg prices seem to be one of those things that can be rsised and lowered arbitrarily.😎

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.

Nevermind the fact that SCOTUS Justice has a job for life that pays over $255k annually. Apparently, Justices are also allowed to sign book deals while sitting on the bench: https://www.sent-trib.com/news/justice-barretts-425k-tops-among-supreme-courts-authors/article_ef630d86-e8e7-11ec-ab16-4fa20f798a88.html Justice Amy Comey Barrett appointed in 2020 has already received a $425k advance on a book deal worth $2 million. This is just an example of how public officials rake in a lot of dough beyond their salaries. It might also influence, er, explain their politics. Watch their hands. Follow the money. 😎
