Pioneer what you've described, perhaps in an attempt to be cute, are means of transmission and storage. Of course I know thoughts can be saved in a book or transmitted over fiber, but they are not sources of new thoughts nor the origination of thoughts of any human. The origin and migration patterns of humans that you are attributing to the NOI run counter to the to the commonly accepted understanding that humanity (including Black people) originated in and migrated from Africa. I know scientifically derived evidence and the resulting knowledgedge usually means very little to you, but you should probably be aware it nonetheless.

Pioneer first you simply can't look at people and derive where they came from--just get that notion out of your head. The most genetic diversity is in Africa all the people in Asia, Europe, the Americas, and throughout Africa originated in Africa. There are plenty of sources on the web, many I've previously shared here when we were debating the existence of just one race.

This is the latest newsletter that I emailed this week. I've been experimenting with shorter newsletters. The engagement per article is much higher plus shorter newsletters are just easier to create. I add so much new content to the site each month that trying to capture it all is just impossible.

@Cynique , yes thank you! I couldn't describe the feeling but you nailed it. You know @Troy I would have missed the video premiere if not for your post. I, tend to stick with contemporary jazz, soul, funk and old school house these days - but this was a great find.

Yes the production quality was very high. Clearly, they have created a video that appeals to a great number of people, I found it compelling until I realized that I was simply riveted by Minaj's physique and I had to turn away before I spent the rest of the evening looking for Minaj videos to watch all night Despite my fascination, I did not feel compelled to buy the music. Man, I have not thought about BET or VH1 in years! I would be willing to bet that more people watched the video on Youtube than VH1 and BET combined. The video has been viewed over 9 million times in less than 3 days!

@Troy In answer to your question, you can watch music videos of all genres all day long on cable Music Channels VH1 and BET. This video is really well-produced; the hook is catchy and Future and Nicki really complement each other. They certainly typify what rivets black folks: "bling and swag".

Ummmm folks betta leave Cyn alone LOL

Fair enough.

This is an example of hip hop music -next generation. Future is huge in the hip hop world as is Nicki Minaj- put the two together and you have a bona fide hit... Nicki looks amazing but she always does ... I love the way her body is sculpted but don't take away from Future's presence - he is a big draw too . Wait that's an understatement - He had back-to-back number 1 albums on billboard's 200 Check out this article lol The title is funny. Nicki has also had a few movie roles too - but her presence, so far, outside of the hip hop arena hasn't translated into a box office draw... But I wish she would promote black books too - because I find her another a-list talent that is moving into her own power.

@Pioneer1 how many years did you work on Wall Street or in Real Estate. My first full time job was being the profit and loss accountant for a $2 billion portfolio at Drexel Burnham Lambert on Wall Street.

I can't find the words to describe what a scum bag Trump is. What's even worse is that he typifies half the American population. Scaramucci won't last long because he is so volatile and larger-than-life-that he will soon overshadow Trump. A no-no. Trump has suffered another setback with the Republicans failing to replace Obama Care and to divert attention from that, he has now fired his Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, and replaced him with General John Kelly who was the head of Homeland Security. Wonder whatever happened to HUD secretary Ben Carson? He seems to have just disappeared, leaving the office idle. The white house is in total disarray and the laughing stock of the world. @Troy BTW, Kaepernick was a highly-regarded well-paid quarterback who has Super Bowl credentials. Meanwhile Michael Vick's chances of being nominated for the NFL Hall of Fame are being contested by the people he is so quick to side with, who aren't so willing to forgive him for the terrible "no-no" of animal abuse. NFL teams are spitefully bypassing Kaepernick for less talented players because he's rockin' the boat. The franchise owners all hate him because he's an abomination to their blue collar jock fandom and is putting things on the mind of the dense black brutes who they own. He is a thorn in their side and i have no problem with what he has chosen to do. He also puts his money where his mouth is. I also love "Game of Thrones". It is so well-produced, well-written, and well-acted and the special effects are awesome!

Cynique you found two words smega receptacle.
