This video describes Dogon religious beliefs, astrological knowledge, understanding of matter, and the beginning of the universe. How can this knowledge square with Western religion? This brother makes interesting videos.

The six-week program empowers, develops, and uplifts multicultural business owners culminating in a pitch competition on May 4th in Harlem https://finance.yahoo.com/news/m-t-bank-launched-harlem-173700841.html

Troy, you should have put this in the Race, Culture....thread, lol. If we research deep enough, we'll find that the Dogon and nearly all Black African so-called "tribes" or ethnic groups are mere FRAGEMENTS of the ancient Kemetic Civilization that fell thousands of years ago. The various families and clans of ancient Kemet broke up and moved in different directions carrying fragments (often corrupted) of the original high culture and high science with them. This is symbolized in the Kemetic story of Auset and Ausar. Ausar was murdered and chopped up into little pieces and his wife Auset had to find those pieces and put them back together again. Kemet was collapsed and fell into many tribes....known as Black Africa today.....but will eventually one day be brought back together.

Yeah NYC can be rough for the poor, handicapped, elderly... It really is a great city for the wealthy and those with high incomes. The debate was between the state of Florida and the State of New York. Deblasio (former Mayor of NYC) focused on NYC and did not make a strong argument for the entire state of NY. Even with our nutty governor Florida is a much easier place to live. I did not know that Florida's 4th grade students out perform New York's. The NY state's tax rate is significant and FL does even levy a state tax. It is not just were retires move. I moved to FL in my late 20s @Delano I moved back to NYC to join you at Stern 😉

These are some of the things that African-Americans have invented. And probably one of the biggest ones of our time is the cell phone. And I'm not even going to talk about the things that we have invented that were stolen from us. https://greaterdiversity.com/meet-henry-t-sampson-man-created-first-cell-phone-back-1971/ https://www.voanews.com/a/everyday-things-created-by-black-inventors/6480850.html#:~:text=The folding chair%2C gas mask,all invented by Black innovators. https://www.cbcfinc.org/blog/top-ten-black-inventors-you-didnt-know-about/?gclid=CjwKCAjwo7iiBhAEEiwAsIxQEaV8_cr_ein3GpnfC7rT7gzih0PxjxHcWIB92iqFoBuPf65p5x73BBoCnt0QAvD_BwE

I posted this earlier on this page, but I think it pertains to this topic as well, so I'm quoting myself and posting it again. "25 years ago, I was a photojournalist for a new station. I remember listening to the scanner and hearing crimes committed outside of the city limits that were too far for the new station to consider pursuing. They were in rural areas that were predominantly white. But on that same scanner, we would hear crimes that were committed a couple of miles from the station and easier to get to that were in black neighborhoods. I noticed a pattern, the news portrayed black communities as being more crime ridden then other areas that per capita had just as many crimes that didn't make the news. Was this done on purpose or was it too far to drive? Probably a little of both. I said that to say this, if you look at the FBI crime statistics, they show a totally different story then what is betrayed on the news. This is not to excuse our black communities from the ridiculous amount of unprovoked violence, but to enlighten them that they are not as bad as the news betrays them. The bad part is, I see a lot of people who are willing to just go with what they see and not take the two minutes to look up the truth on both sides of this pendulum. They either rant and rave about how bad black communities are, and how white people don't commit crimes or on the opposite side just except that black people are the spawn of all evil. So, I have linked a couple of years of FBI crime, statistics to this topic." In this world of false equivalence, know the truth! https://www.ojjdp.gov/ojstatbb/crime/ucr.asp?table_in=2 https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/tables/table-43 https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2018/crime-in-the-u.s.-2018/tables/table-43 https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2016/crime-in-the-u.s.-2016/tables/table-21 Also, these false statements do the people making them no good and caused them the most damage. It only serves to show how ignorant you are of your own surroundings and how unwilling you are to find out the truth. This kind of willful ignorance will only serve to belittle your claims and put you further behind the rest of society. In this day and age, it only takes two minutes to look up the facts. Here's another tidbit of information that we all should know. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/gun-violence-republican-states-rural-b2129435.html

To be clear. I would not allow someone to post racist ideas (falsehoods, distortions, and lies) without them being addressed. To make believe the ideas do not exist is a mistake to have them dispatched so well is actually very valuable. @ProfD I had to look up "VGQ." For the benefit of others who mya have been just as ignorant:

@Chevdove OK I'm just now seeing your video. Yeah, Kadeem sounds the same, but he did "blow up" and I would not have known who he was.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat......lol...is that brutha Kadeem "Dwayen Wayne" Hardison up there??? Brutha looks so different than he did 30 years ago, lol. One of those examples of people's physiques changing that Troy was talking about. I'd like to see Charlene Brown and Cree Summer now.
