  1. The book i am reading states genius sees beyond what the average or even above average sees. Time/Space is a genius move. Creating Calculus is a genius move. Also I believe inspiration is necessary for genius. It provides the bridge to go from the unknown to the known.
  2. And we're live! The Amber and the Hidden City Kickstarter is up and running. This graphic novel is based on the popular Amber and the Hidden City novel by yours truly. Help us bring this amazing story to life. We have thirty days to make it happen. Make your pledge and spread the word! Amber and the Hidden City Kickstarter
  3. Did you read the tagline it said 10,236 climate scientists say it's a fact not 10,236 scientist. The majority of climate scientist say its a fact which is different than the majority of scientist. Yet Troy abd most people parrot this statement. I'll restate again that i read the IPCC data and did a statistical analysis in Co2 production abd temperature for 300 years. I can't lighten up I am Black.
  4. If your belief sounded articulate and rational, maybe Troy would accept it. The battle of the sexes does not involve race. The instinct of the male of the species is to dominate the female of the species. Sexism arose from this dynamic that has nothing to do with race, and everything to do with gender. No one is holding them back. What is holding them back is their not being smart enough to take advantage of lucrative opportunities. White skin is a privilege that provides a leg up, but dumbness and ineptitude does not discriminate and it does occur among whites. Mental acuity is what separates the wheat from the chaff when it comes to whites.
  5. The dictionary definition of genius is: exceptional intellectual or creative power or other natural ability. So what more can be said on the subject? Certainly imagination is a major factor in the psyche of a genius. Dreams are subconscious mind activity and the subconscious harbors the imagination. A genius is obviously an extraordinary intuitive or intellectual person. There is no reason to doubt or challenge what Einstein and Mozart say about their inspiration. i think we all have the potential to be geniuses. It's a matter of tapping into a certain area of our brain, the organ which we don't use to its full capacity.
  6. The City. No one knows how it began or when it will end. No one knows how we came to be here, 20 million souls, 1500 different species all crammed together in plascrete and biosteel. No one's been in or out of the city in 20 centuries. Some have their theories why, some don't care. But no matter whom you are, or what you are, you have a story, don't you? The trick is finding someone who cares to listen...' -Knowledge Lateef, Street Priest The City anthology is a unique creation. It’s a concept anthology, a collection of stories where eighteen different authors share their vision of a single idea. It’s Cyberfunk, cyberpunk stories that play with future concepts from an African/African American perspective. Most of all it’s engaging, exciting, thought provoking and fun. Like the inhabitants, the City is perceived in various ways by the various writers. Some stories intersect, some diverge, but they all entertain. The result is a journey into a unique world described by unique and engaging voices. Buy your copy today from MVmedia today! The City: A Cyberfunk Anthology

    Kanye West's performance in the oval room of the white house, just leaves me shaking my head. The oval office has become a platform for an insane buffoon and there's nothing left for me to do but promote ridicule.
  9. The white woman who accused the black 9 year old of groping her, has gone online and issued an apology after viewing a security video which showed it was the boy's book bag which brushed up against her ass. The guy who fired his rifle at a fleeing black teenager who knocked on his door looking for directions, has been found guilty of attempted murder. Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts has ordered several federal judges to investigate ethics complaints brought against Brett Kavanaugh. Harvard University has presented Colin Kaepernick with the WEB DuBois award it gives out every year to an outstanding black person. Donald Trump's approval ratings have risen slightly... You win some, you lose some.
  10. Occultation is another name for eclipse
