70+ Japanese & Asian American Organizations Wrote President Biden a letter to give African Americans Reparations. December 2022. I am so grateful for these Japanese and Asian humanitarians! My heart goes out to them. In this video, it was mentioned by the Japanese the awful hardship that they endured in the concentrations camps here in America when they were severely persecuted during the World War, nevertheless, today, some of them have come forward to plead the present status of African Americans today. Again, I believe that there is something going on politically, globally, and at a high level about the issue of African American DOS over here in America regarding Reparations and a lot of interest is based on the ancient scriptures. And I believe that some ‘officials’ are working hard to suppress this global interest and also, they are trying to downplay it to African American DOS. I remember back in the very first term of POTUS Barack Obama and prior to him even being elected as president that he firmly stated that he did not believe African Americans should get reparations. So, I believed back then as I do now, that was the very reason why he was already chosen to be president in the first place long before the vote even began. Is Obama the Herod of our modern times? Like many different kings of people that are now defined as being ‘African American’ today, Barack Obama would not be defined as an African American Descendant of Slaves here in America. His father was Kenyan, and his mother was a White woman, no matter though, he has become the face for all African Americans today, whether we are FBA, AADOS, or immigrants or ‘other’. I think that his slogan in his first election was ‘Change’ and then the second term it was about the ‘Inclusion’ for LGBTQ+ Federal law that was passed. My has times changed. Nevertheless, the issue of Reparations is still lurking about and underlying every other law that has been passed to help others. I am reminded about the recent issue of Immigration laws too, and once again, I remember how Obama defined us African American DOS as being immigrants. However, it was the famous Black Surgeon, Ben Carson, who made this statement after Obama, that most Black people attacked. No matter what though, again, this burdensome issue of Reparations continues.

Thanks Rodney! where do i send the check? Seriously, post that review on AALBC, amazon, and social media if you use any of those platforms. 🙂

An absolutely beautiful, mesmerizing, soulful, well executed reading.

richard murray @Pioneer1 yes, don't you ever post on your feed in aalbc? No. Not sure why not, I guess I found it easier to just make a new thread.

It helps to know the historical relationship between Ireland and England and the politics of that conflict. Black folks cannot use the IRA as a blueprint to force the US to change. 😎

Understood. I will keep that in mind for future threads. Thanks for the explanation. 😎

@ProfD we will see @Pioneer1 I think many Black Americansin the usa, maybe most, are doing what you said now. I do concur with your first point That goal is what Frederick Douglass spearheaded alongside Sojourner Truth or Ida B Wells and followed by Web DUbois/Booker T Washington/The Tuskegee arimen/Rosa Parks/Martin/Fannie Lou Hamer/Shirley Chisholm/Fred Hampton/JEsse Jackson/Al Sharpton/Clarence Thomas/ The Obamas/Stacy Abrams and onward. Said people are not clones of each other, but all of them at the core of their purposes is about Black folk thriving or leading as part of the USA. I can even argue that the mythological crispus attics is the true progenitor of that movement that frederick douglass had a huge role in. Where I oppose is your second point The why is key. It is a historical fact that I went in detail in this very community before, the Black community in the USA historically is anti USA + anti White. IT is a simple truth. Over time from the early 1500s to 2023 the Black populace in the USA or the british colonies that preceded it went from a majority fighting to stop the usa from being born to a populace whose members have existed in every position of highest value in the government with billionaires or millionaires forming a one percent. But whether black folk are in support or opposition to the usa, I don't think either choice makes one smart or on the ball. IT is about desire Pioneer. As I said to a black militant once. The modern black community will never join your cause en majority. The black one percent are fiscally wealthy. The black modern immigrants freely came to be part of the USA. and the descended of enslaved who are fiscally wealthy or in the military or work in government or simply are pro usa , simply are. So the anti USA segment of the modern black community is a minority in the black minority. But the IRA prove it can work, nothing is easy but it can work. The IRA was only a few hundred people but their actions got 3/4 of ireland free from the english after two thousand years of all of ireland being dominated by the english. So Black militants, go for it. Most irish didn't plan or had a part in the bombings. But the bombings of the ira which are counted more than the bombings in vietnam, which is amazing, led to the english saying, we will make a deal. And comprehend the modern irish live as two people's. They lived as two peoples during the troubles. Many irish stooged <my term choice> for the english, it is that simple , against the IRA and their cause. What is northern ireland really? by your words Pioneer, the northern irish are the smart on the ball folk who stayed with the remnant of the english empire. But communities are complex. Sometimes you are on the losing side Pioneer. But whether losing or winning if you are true to yourself, you are not dumb. Stick with it, and your time will come and if it doesn't the people who carry on your message, will have a chance, and onward. as long as the community is alive, no matter the quantity or location, the goal isn't dead. That is why when my friends offline who are pro USA talk about various things. I tell them why don't they run for offices. Get in the government apparatus. They love the USA so I support their love, in the same way I support the Black militants who want to burn it down. I don't see either are smart or dumb. Black folk for me are free to have any position to the USA, any position. Our forebears earned us the right to that. TO answer your question Maybe one day their will be. The reason why the usa is in germany is cause germany , unfortunately for germany at some level, was the faultline for usa and russia when commonly called wolrd war two ended. Russia had east of germany, usa had west of germany. they both split germany, sequentially, both countries dropped military bases in germany. Empire's love to make other countries their chess board pieces. Same to Japan. China was communist, and the USA was unable to kill Mao , I know they tried, so the USA military had to stay there. But when Japan's people starting showing socialist leanings, the USA then gave japan money. and while china didn't need russian bases, china became a military partner with russia on simple grounds that the usa was a mlitaristic enemy of both. And the USA went on and add Taiwan, chang kia shek's running hole, and then the two koreas which no korean made. That is why? China and Russia is why. Those two are the only two governments that militaristically are honestly opposed to the usa. Most in the countries in the continent are still being militaristically manipulated by the likes of European countries so the USA has no threat. Ghana is part of the commonwealth of nations. Why have USA troops in ghana when ghana isn't free of an impotent england? Angola has new oil money but Angola like Equatorial Guinea are ruled by the oil families. But the oil families will not get rid of that silly constitution or government system. Angola is a kingdom, that acts like it isn't. Like many oil countries, they hurt themselves accepting the dysfunctional usa or uk elected goverment/parliamentary system. So why have USa troops in Angola when Angola isn't even honest with itself? and same to the others in africa.

richard murray The older I get, the more I appreciate both my Mother and Father. There are a lot of people in this world who grew up in terrible households and had traumatic childhoods.....but I wasn't one of them.

Despite its warts and flaws, the US is a well-oiled democracy that allows its citizens to believe it's the land of opportunity and freedom. Other countries admire it. As a result, the US seems to be a place that only a few of its citizens want to leave and an attractive destination to immigrants looking for a better life. Don't feel too bad for Nippy from the block. She knows how to run her program. 😎

@Pioneer1 I am glad that you had him in your life, even with the environment's difficulties or your age:) . I am human, I try to be honest or truthful as much as possible, especially when communicating, but I fail alot of times. The USA has a slavemaster culture that wants you to think , live, breath as your told. I have no money or power to make grand changes to any community. The most I can do , for now:), is speak against how the slavemaster wants us slaves to speak. Someone told me offline once, modern immigrant children have parents who work so often they are just not in the house so the t.v/internet/cable .... media raises the kids, and thus their broken or nonexistent or dysfunctional relationship to the country their parents came from. All things will get better @ProfD well done. It's nippy from the block.

Nippon is the name on her birth certificate but out in these streets that bottom broad has been going by Japan for many decades now. She's made a lot of money on the block too.😁😎

It has already been established that the USA is the apex in the grand scheme of things. @Pioneer1 just nailed it. Those who would like to cheat are welcomed to try it at their own peril. 😎

👏 👏

@Pioneer1 I apologize, I didn't mean to suggest that the post european imperial era meant the death of the white phenotypical race. the white phenotype will not die out as no phenotypical race dies out. And the issue isn't the death of philosophies white people have created or support in majority, the key is for non whites or specifically, non white europeans, to maintain their own philosophies or create their own philosophies. I am fortunate to know indians who live in india, and indians who live in the usa. Many do want to be white european, that is true, but you may be surprised how many like themselves, and are looking for more self love. And, I have been fortunate enough to know mestizoes or mulattoes of latin america who embrace the women who started their lineage more than the men. Yes, your right, many if not most want to be white european in latin america but it isn't as large as media suggest. To be blunt, white owned media makes every black person whose forebears were enslaved in the usa an allegiant to the USA but that is not true.

@ProfD I oppose your position. I don't see any evidence that any religion, a spirituality on top of literature, or a spirituality are diametrically opposed to the rule of any people. First, historically, the longest operating governments in human history all had an attached religion to said government. Kemet/Chin/Roman Empire. All of them lasted thousands of years. The USA government is less than 500 years old, and post the second phase of what I call the world war. Most governments in humanity are less than a hundred years old or were started absent the will of their people. Second, in modernity, the financial factors in countries is the true genesis of their conflicts or confusions. For example to the article, Tunisia is poor. The reason why the usa had and has success has nothing to do with the government form. I will argue, that the government form of the USA is actually dysfunctional but the financial potency of genocide plus slavery created two huge financial winds that allowed a rickety boat to fly. The problem, tunisia don't have such winds. Tunisia has no native americans to slaughter for resources, tunisia has no continental trafficking of enslaved human beings for labor. Sequentially, the form of government or democracy Tunisia utilized to mirror the usa or great britain was absent either of those countries true source of maintenance, which was the ability to get away with murders or enslavements to other human beings.

I do not see the Japanese people complaining about being strong-armed into a relationship with the US. If Japan's is a b*tch to the the US, she's putting on a helluva face; smiling and laughing and enjoying the fruits of her position. 😎

As evidenced around the world, Islam and democracy are diametrically opposed. There is no shortage of conflict and confusion when the forces of religion and politics collide.😎

Yes, there is so much of that going on now. Since you posted this, @Stefan I watched a few news media coverage of this man and the subway attack, and he is pure evil. What a sick mind. Oh yes! On this note, I see a lot of coverage about a recent murder of four young kids in Moscow, Idaho. A man has been arrested and believed to be the one to commit this insane act. Whoever did it, though, hopefully, will be caught. So far, I am not sure the guy they have is the one, but I have been following the news, and he does seem like a good candidate. Bryan Kohberger.

There is no shortage of clowns within the GOP tent. Kari Lake is definitely one of them. I can only imagine which cabinet-level position she will be appointed if the former POTUS gets re-elected. That George Santos is also pathetic. The fact that he can take a seat in Congress despite his lying ways is disturbing on a number of levels. If he was an AfroAmerican congress-elect, they would found a way to disqualify him. For Brazil to be imitating US politics down to the sideshow is sad. Hopefully, this too shall pass. i don't believe Democrats are truly battling with the GOP and vice versa. I think both parties are two sides of the same coin. The parties thrive off each other for power and control over American politics. They put on a show.😎
