https://www.npr.org/2022/06/16/1105445493/keisha-lance-bottoms-biden-administration-position-role-atlanta-mayor I knew it was just a matter of time before former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms made her way to DC. Sista Bottoms will be replacing brotha Cedric Richmond as a White House Senior Adviser to POTUS Biden. This appointment will add more experience to Keisha Lance Bottoms' resume for whatever aspirations she may have in the future. Proud of her moving on up.

I usually block/mute bots in black face on twitter because they are easy to spot. They are easy to spot on AALBC too because they spew the same rhetoric as the " the greys" trying to claim supremacy. Unfortunately there are so few of us that participate in these discussions, I feel like we're playing a game of whack a mole when they pop up. Anyway, this is an oldie but goodie report from Black Enterprise on the rise of blackface bots

@Troy Good luck with the "righter"

Hmm...I reckon an elderly black could make some real good French fried potaters.

Greg Why are we as a people so far behind everyone else? Why is it that other people of color from India, china, Japan so much further ahead despite them coming to this country with no money Because our government BRINGS them here...and GIVES them money. ....usually to open up businesses in our neighborhoods. These non-Black people of color that you speak of are being used as BUFFERS by the White power structure. Middle-men. Go-betweens. They are being used to CUSHION the White power structure from the oppressed population of AfroAmericans and help them maintain the system of racism since there aren't enough Whites to do it. and in many cases not able to even speak our language? Its because they have strong family values, family structure, they push education and hard work, Funny how those "family values" and "hard work" didn't do them any damn good when they were starving and living in dire poverty in THEIR own countries. Funny how "hard work" and "family values" only worked for them once they came HERE to the United States...AFTER AfroAmericans kicked the ass of racists in the 60s and 70s and smoothed out the road so that OTHER people of color didn't have to experience what our ancestors experienced from these racist beasts. and they obey and respect the law. Its EXTREMELY RARE for a woman from india, china, or japan to get pregnant at a very young age. That rarely ever happens. Is it that is "rarely" happens? Or is it that in those cultures....especially in India....they KILL the girls and young women who have the misfortune of getting pregnant after they are molested or sexually assaulted by older men which is so common there. India celebrates a RAPE CULTURE and women are chased down and raped in groups and then killed afterwards. Is that the type of "family values" you're referring to??? Our black communities are amongst the most violent in the world, thats our own fault ! Even more violent than the Middle East? Even more violent than Mexico where the drug cartels kill, chop off heads, and stack up the bones as a gruesome joke??? Even more violent than Afghanistan where they have a "fighting season" where so-called God fearing people will go to war shooting and slaughtering eachother ritually and have been doing so for THOUSANDS of years???? I'm willing to wager that more people were killed in the Russia-Ukraine war which is only a few months old...than ALL the Black people who killed eachother since 2020.

An "elderly black"??? Where did you grow up? I don't know a lot of Black people who talk like that. They usually say "elderly Black man" or "elderly Black woman" or "elderly Black people" but not just simply "a black".

If someone throws a rock into a group.....the only one who hollers is the one who got hit.

Between bots and blockheads ...

“our people” get undermined? In what way? I think if we paid more attention to making responsible decisions( not having babies at 19 and not commiting crime) , working hard, and stop making excuses and talking about bots, we would be in much better shape. But I guess the easy thing to do is to blame others.

There are so many ways our people are being undermined. Fake social media accounts are some of the most annoying.

Yes. So very proud of sista Mellody Hobson in her accomplishments as a businesswoman. The first black woman as a part of an NFL ownership group is awesome. It was a great look for billionaire S. Robson Walton (Wal-Mart) to bring Mellody into the fold. Our course, sista Mel Hopkins you're still the OG MH among us.

There would be no need to debate and/or amend voting rights and laws if access was equally free and clear to every American voter.
