I can't but help getting the impression that black culture believes that as a result of the wait of a new president that their problems are going to magically disappear. Truth of the matter, in days of slavery there were good masters and ruthless masters (slave owners). However, the people were still slaves to some slave owner (good or ruthless). Nevertheless, a huge percent of the black culture today are so distracted with trying to manipulate the image of what freedom is that we have been pulled right back into slavery thinking that Biden/Harris is going to give us our papers to freedom. As long as Nike, Eddie Bauer, Michael Kors, Versace, bling, wigs, nail shops, casinos, marijuana shops, and electronics, etc. keep our nose open, we are going to wake up and realize that we are still enslaved. Slavery has most ignorant to their own demise. I voted! However, I didn't vote thinking that any of the parties were to answer to our issues. We are the only ones that possess the answers for what we need. However, we aren't producing anything to prepare for what's coming. We are not creating banks, jobs, food, grocery, transportation, world systems, black markets, clothing, wigs, casinos, communities, schools, armies, etc of our own. Instead we are content with building up someone else's and making them shine for a few rations of green (knowing that all of it can be taken away at any moment). We complain about everything. Where are the solutions and why aren't we ready to solve these problems. Soon our green and silver resources (money) is going to loose more value. What are you doing to prepare for the shift? (it's coming, just not as some may think). What I am doing/have done: 1. open a school for students in my community 2. provide adult education for adults in my community 3. podcast to share perspectives to shift mindsets 4. write and publish books to impact change from the inside out 5. encourage others to create their own businesses 6. created an alliance of black women, men, and children that is building a network of self sufficiency in revenue to financially support business needs What can or are you doing in your community to sound the alarms?

The Black American population is a diverse lot. And not all are ADOS(A misleading term). I applaud your efforts and I believe that is the recurring theme and actions of the majority of productive members of society. However I believe that there is no such thing as a Black culture. I believe Blacks are living out different cultural experiences based on their associations. Many have competing interest.

I affirmed and believe this as well. The messages are getting clearer by the day. Some are just going to miss it in the shift. Thanks for sharing your perspective with me.

ABS Thank you for all of the great work you have done and are doing in the community Queen! And to answer your question, YES....AfroAmerican culture is shifting. Or to be more specific being MANIPULATED into a particular direction. But this is nothing new. Since our people didn't control the culture to begin with, we don't control the direction it moves in. It is primarily controled by the White Supremacists. Where are the solutions and why aren't we ready to solve these problems In order to SOLVE a problem, you must first acknowledge that you actually HAVE one. Most AfroAmericans have been in an oppressed and destitute condition for so long that they no longer recognize it as an actual "problem". They think their life and way of living is normal. Like Gibran says, many of our people have been INSTITUTIONALIZED to the point that prison and powerlessness feels normal to them. What can or are you doing in your community to sound the alarms? Like yourself and many others I've been preaching to my people for years about leaving the drugs alone, making peace with eachother, and trying to build our community and protect ourselves from White Supremacy. And before us there have been others. Sis....the alarms have been sounded. But what good is a fire alarm for a "dead man"? If loud bangs, people screaming in the hallways, and big choking clouds of smoke isn't enough to wake a man up in his room and alert him to the raging fire approaching.....the alarm going off probably won't either. That man is dead or so far gone that he's near it. We (me, you, and others) can not afford to put our safety in jeopardy standing in the halls of destruction waiting on criminals and drug addicts to wake up and sober up and run for safety. It is time for us to flee from the coming destruction and LET IT HAPPEN. I believe that the Divine Punishment is getting ready to descend upon the United States in order to cleanse it. At THIS point.....our job is to GET OUT OF THE WAY and let it come. Our job is to Pray and Hope that we survive and make it through to the other side to help build a NEW society. They say it's going to be a "dark winter".

"Your behaviors are consistent with my perception of who I believe you are. Therefore you are intelligent enough to know exactly what I am implying in my post (because it amused you enough to reply). But to amuse you let me clarify, I am speaking of American population solely. However, wherever we reside in this big ole world, whatever race or culture we identify with, I am certain that these issues run parallel. " Translation: "Don't ACT like you don't know what I'm talking about." ....lol.

Before I can PROPERLY answer your question, I'll need you to specify WHICH "Black Culture" you're refering to. There are literally HUNDREDS of Black cultures around the world with different beliefs and practices. The Black Yoruba culture is different than the Black Zulu culture. The Black Dravidian culture is different than the Black Ormomo culture. The Black Wolof culture is different than the culture that most Black U.S. residents practice. Now, judging by the context of your post I can kind of guess which one you're talking about, but I wouldn't want to assume. So in order to be RIGHT and EXACT we should be specific as to which one it is.
