Twin, I hadn't thought of it until you asked this question. First, my mental image of a psychic is someone who has the ability to visit the future and then interpret the information for those of us who are in their present. Intuitive means visiting the future and unknowingly acting on that information in the waking present. Also, I understand the past, present, and future operates on points on a circle - meaning it is happening simultaneously. Some of us dream vividly and have the ability to visit different points in on the circle within this universe. Some of us may even visit points in parallel dimensions in the multiverse.

Troy Man I TOLD you that girl in the picture hugging on that dog didn't live in your complex! Infact, I TOLD you she was just a model used in that picture to sucker men into moving to Tulsa! But you didn't wanna listen to the ole Pioneer..... I bet NOW you'd rather be back at your old home in Florida by the window with those gators in your backyard looking up at you grinning...lol. "Did ya miss me much?"

Mel If this is true of African immigrants - why isn't the entire continent of Africa host to the wealthiest countries in the world? I'm not asking this to debate - I genuinely believe this to be the case too. Without looking up the statistic, I get the sense that African Immigrants rarely sell their labor. Instead, they produce. Also, the percentage of African immigrants with professional and doctorate degrees outnumbers even white Americans. American Blacks and Latinos don't even measure up in that comparison. So why are some of the African countries so poor or in debt? As I write this, It appears to be the same reason that blacks don't collectively support social networks, lol. Most Africans that I know be they immigrants or children of immigrants are EXTREMELY smart and resourceful and very BOLD/AGGRESSIVE compared to other immigrant groups which also helps them socially. For some reason African men don't seem to mind putting their hands on complete strangers while communicating with them. I haven't been to any African nations (yet) so it's hard to give an educated answer as to why Africa is in the shape it's in but if I had to SPECULATE based on the limited information I have so far I'd say there are atleast 2 major reasons: 1. Outside of Nigeria and South Africa, most African nations are ruled by Western backed DICTATORS who's shameless nepotism and crony policies ensure that the most UN-qualified people occupy positions of authority keeping these nations in a constant state of economic mismanagement and political chaos. 2. For the past 50 years the West (especially United States, England, and France) has been draining Africa of most of her educated and ambitious youth who yearn for more religious and cultural freedom and more financial opportunities. Probably one of the biggest mistakes African nations made when they achieved their so-called "independence" from European colonialism was continuing to MAINTAIN those same political and economic systems they were ruled under. These systems weren't designed for sovereign nations but were specifically designed for exploitation of human and natural resources. They were literally designed to maximize profits from cheap human labor. African nations should have gradually shifted to more practical "Afrocentric" political and economic systems of government.

You know what is cool about this list is that these are mostly books that are not widely known. John A. Williams and Richard Wright are perhaps two of the most important writers of the 20th Century, but they are not going to go viral on social media. We have created a cultural bias such much of the information that is most widely shared and defined as important is driven by an algorithms created by young white men, who know nothing about us. We have to continue to promote and define what is important to us. Bestselling Books by, or About, Black People for April 2021 #readingblack
