  1. Facts. Welcome back to the gallery sista Mel.👏🏿😁😎
  2. Belief, power, and knowledge are all things (nouns) that must be used to measure their effectiveness. None of those things is powerful without action. The use of power, which comes from the use of knowledge, could be considered the most powerful. But power without work and elapsed time amounts to nothing. In fact, the equation for Power = Work/time. Same with one's belief - which reminds me of the verse "faith without works is dead." So the same could be said of belief, albeit it is a temporary power. For example, if your belief is strong enough, it can change how you perceive reality and possibly defy natural physics. I'm thinking of those stories where an adrenaline surge allows the person to lift tons because they believed they had to save a life. So what's the most powerful? ACTION.

    @Mel Hopkins positive Black policy in the USA, My answer below to your post is the most functional answer, absent going into any detail. If you are still unclear , I will try to restate. And for the record, I stated this idea as not my agenda or personal plan. The idea I mentioned is not something I personally support but feel is the best thing for the black community in NYC to do. please link the post to your post I already have my answer, which I will comment on your post. with the following. Black party of governance overview https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=1945&type=status Forum talk https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=1890&type=status Black people complaigning forever but somehow it never happens https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2137&type=status The potential definition of Black in the modern usa has added more challenges https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2124&type=status @ProfD fair enough, @Mel Hopkins asked a while back what was a plan, I answered in this community but away from her post. you said the following which relates to the issue of solutions in this threat. the only way an elected official in the two major parties can be held accountable in the usa is by voting them out but the problem is, how long can any people vote people out before they get tired of voting people out. The assumption is, that if voters vote people out quality people will come in, that assumption is a lie which even the white community in the usa shows. So Profd! you are in front of a million black men, what is your solution to the problem? If you don't have one , think of one.
  4. The craziest thing is that no other group of people is hounded and insulted about voting more than Black folks. Politicians pander for the Black vote and do nothing tangible for us. Meanwhile, white, Hispanics and Asians are not badgered into voting and gain the most regardless. Exhibit A--Anti-Asian Hate Crime Bill. That sh8t shot through Congress like Speedy Gonzalez. Yet, there is no anti-Black Hate Crime Bill. Black folks are subjected to police brutality and every other aspect of racism white supremacy.😎
  5. I don’t know. I swear when I post from my phone it feels like my text is changed after I hit the submit reply button 😞
  6. Wait, @richardmurray all this time I thought you lived or were from Harlem. I wish more people took your polls. It may be that you have to have an account to take the poll. I'll lookinto this. Yeah, I saw that Yusef Salaam won the city council seat. I'm not surprised. He is tall, handsome, and the most articulate of the five guys he got bum rushed with. Being one of the exonerated gave him some name recognition which helps tremendously -- plus white people love him... I also saw the Bill Perkins died recently -- that news caught me off guard. I used to see the Brother running in Central Park (interestingly the last time was not too far from where the Central Park Jogger was brutalized).
  7. Right now, a human ghost writer would be better. But this may not be true for very long... Shoot it may not be true today, but we don't have access to the versions with that capability. I have ChapGPT generate the first draft of author bios now. Welcome to the forums @Monica
  8. A pretty good question was raised here for discussion. I don't have a publisher, and I plan to start writing a fiction book. I don't have enough experience writing books, because I only read them before that. Therefore, I think that a ghostwriter would be helpful to me. I do not trust artificial intelligence and am convinced that only a professional writer can present the main ideas and plot in the best way. I even found one service https://penfellow.com/fiction-ghostwriting/ and plan to use it to write or edit my book. Therefore, to answer the question, I will say that I will choose fiction ghostwriting instead of Artificial Intelligence software.
