  2. I am going to go on the black book clubs on FB and shout out AALBC and tell people to check out the site. As soon as I figure out how to use the CALL TO ACTION button on my website, I will set it up to get people to support AALBC.
  3. Once the political dust settles, I do not think that brothas and sistas are not going to view the end results of the election with any eye toward enhancing either social or political potential. Black folks simply crave a sense of normalcy, however that is perceived. Primarily, blacks within the confines of this country still feel what all colonized people feel, and as such don't entertain perceptions of power, either socially or politically. Instead, we harbor fears about what the end results will do to alter or disrupt our perceived sense of normalcy which has been carved out from our political and social immaturity. We are so busy begging for the right to breathe that we don't possess the luxury to stop trying to live. Additionally, it is rather difficult to have clear perceptions about our social or political potential when we have yet to be formally introduced to them. Thus far, we have been treated like prized guinea pigs in this great Democratic Experiment and it appears that despite all the trumpeted legislation to excuse our oppression and to condone white supremacy, Supreme Court Justice Taney is having the last laugh. He got it right. Blacks still have no rights white are bound to respect.
  4. Mel When the colonists fought the british for their independence - they didn't change their way of life. There was no complete overthrow of government. They just broke free of their 'mother' and continued much of the same. So although they called it a 'revolution' it wasn't that at all. The U.S. constitution replaced the monarchy with a sovereign state. Ofcourse..... This is why Neely Fuller Jr. says that the System of White Supremacy is the only REAL government on the planet. All of the other so-called governments are just "branches" or extensions of it who may change up their name or label....but the goals and values are the same. The United States and Canada are controlled by the same elite group of White Supremacist "royal" families that control the rest of Europe. And THEY are united in controlling the rest of the planet. I've been saying this for years and have explained this to Africans and Asians who want to argue over when and by what methods their nations gained their so-called "independence" . I ask them how are they independent when they not only rely on their former colonizers for financial assistance and military protection.....but also still maintain the GOVERNMENTAL STRUCTURE that their colonists left in place before physically vacating the land? Anytime your prime ministers, legislators, and judges are STILL wearing blonde wigs: "And now for the question we're all assembled together to ask..... The important question we all want to know..... Which way did the White people go? .....how can you fix your mouth to declare yourself "free and independent"???? Your ass is STILL defacto colonized regardless of what's written down on paper, lol. So we need a totally NEW system. Not just a new government but a new legal, moral, and ethical code. You'll know when the bullshit is coming to an end when the national borders in Africa are being RE-DRAWN based on the historic and traditional ethnic boundaries that existed before colonization. And the laws and morals of each jurisdiction will reflect those pre-colonial laws and morals of the indigenous populations. But that would only be a START. Ultimately there must be a new moral and legal code each group would have to adopt to help them usher in more stable and progressive societies.
  5. When the colonists fought the british for their independence - they didn't change their way of life. There was no complete overthrow of government. They just broke free of their 'mother' and continued much of the same. So although they called it a 'revolution' it wasn't that at all. The U.S. constitution replaced the monarchy with a sovereign state. A sovereign state that is managed by executive, legislative and judicial branches. The power is still in the hands of the elite. The sovereign state continues to enslave some, in fact Nebraska just removed slavery as legal option for criminal punishment but I digress. The Sovereign State (USA) topples regimes and holds powers of eminent domain (fifth amendment) which is feudalism with a price tag based on what the government feels is "just". This same system applies to every territory the british colonized or the USA colonized. Yes, never is a long time but without a paradigm shift there will be no revolution.
  6. Daniel What are you saying I changed from and to? From: Trump Worshipping Children's Books Author To: Wood Chopper, Ditch Digger, and Field Hand "Man..... Wish I woulda saw THIS coming!" .....lol.
  7. I can only imagine. I watched the documentary about Khalif Browder and other Brothers and that is hard for me, so I can't imagine what watching it must be like after having acutally gone through it. Of course being locked up is one thing. But this true in the real world too. People trapped in poverty experience something similar, they stop dreaming, seeing a way out. Once you stop dreaming you die. I've see many Brothers and sisters come out and live life like there is no tomorrow, making the rest of us look like we are standing still. I guess when something valuable is taken from you, and returned you appreciate it more ... as long as you have continued to think and dream.
