  1. I just uploaded a video and here was what Google's YouTube showed me. Ever since I watched the Candice Owen's Video YouTube as been showing me here videos every single day. Now it is unfortunate Google shoves these video in from of me. Does Google have a plan to marginalize Kamala Harris and discourage Black people from voting for her with these videos? I dunno, but YouTube's behavior would be indistinguishable from a planform that had that agenda
  2. Google doesn't show me anything , but I rarely use their search engine .
  3. The former Pyramid Books on Georgia Avenue in DC. Hodari is a legend here. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/1981/12/10/new-bookstore-fills-void/ba2c912b-1063-46e1-8680-ada97fa51c20/
  4. Based on the TRAILER.....the film looks like it ain't 'bout shit and ain't worth watching. Probably just more silly negro confusion based on twisted values.
  5. Of course not these platforms are optimized to create filter bubbles -- which narrow the focus of the information that people see. In order to be seen on social media. Sites like AALBC must pay for promotion to be seen on Facebook. Everything else that is seen is algorithmically drive to drive engagement. People who commune news solely from social media are being feed celerity nonsense, like Gal Gadot BS that started this conversation, propaganda, and lies.
  6. Dr. Welsing told us about the game. It has a lot of moves. We need to make counter moves. Otherwise we are just watching somebody else play the game with no intention to win. How do we promote our interests, keep them relevant and maintain positive attention to those interests? I am convinced every well formed question is pregnant with its own answer. Just as I typed the question above came the answer. We get African-American celebrities to counter with a video of them singing one line each of Wake Up Everybody by Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes. That wasn't hard.
  7. Haki Madhubuti may have already written the White Paper on the Black Books Ecosystem. We just have to update it. In his book "From Plan to Planet: Life Studies; The Need for Afrikan Minds and Institutions" he has a chapter entitled "The Necessity of Control: Publishing to Distribution: A SHORT PROPOSAL FOR BLACK DISTRIBUTORS." It is essentially a primer on the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats facing the Black Books Ecosystem in the early 1970s. That we are still talking about basically the same issues with eBooks and A2Z added in means we might be going in circles. He goes into a lot of things that I would have never thought about: Mass Printing? Mass Distribution? Hiring salespeople? Ideology? https://archive.org/details/fromplantoplanet00madh
  8. Plus 45 is not exactly the picture of health. Since 45's lying may be pathological. I would not put it past him make up this lie to say the had the virus, and beat it in a few days, to demonstrate to people like Danelle that the virus is nothing to worry about and to show how strong he is compared to that pus*y Biden, who is running around with a mask on 24/7. Getting others to follow this scheme would not be a heavy lift for him. So no, I would not be surprised if it is ever discovered that 45 did not have the virus.
