Mom, my twin daughters' father, my oldest daughter, Cheyenne's (my daughter who passed away) childhood bestie, is in the family photo with us.

  3. Thank you! That is one of the most classic and fabulous wedding celebrations that I have ever seen! Oh My Gosh! I don't know how many times I have watched this. @Mel Hopkins I can't imagine how happy you must feel! Your daughter and her husband are so incredibly beautiful. Again, you look amazing. LOL! Okay... @Pioneer1 Come on! But you are right on one count, that wedding look like a movie; As if it was straight out of Hollywood.

  5. There are Black majority cities in America like Atlanta, Detroit, Baltimore, and even Jackson Mississippi. What if Black politicians at the municipal level began working with wealthy black entrepreneurs to develop and diversity local economies especially disadvantaged neighborhoods ? Think about it. What if we pooled public and private resources to replicate what Geoffrey Canada did with the Harlem Children's Zone in New York City ? After all a good start early in life in a livable environment comes before any kind of academic achievement or entrepreneurial success. Right? Secondly, what if black business people and politicians formed public/private partnerships to seek out new sources of investment like Chinese, Middle Eastern, and West African ? Third, maybe we need real democracy in black politics which means independent thought and action that challenges the Black Democratic Leadership Establishment. I'm not saying move to the Republican Right. But demand more from our so called leaders. If you can't provide viable solutions to problems like crime, violence, poverty, academic failure, and the racial wealth gap then you get voted out. So what's keeping us from doing these things ? 1. We don't live together and aren't forced to work and strive together inspite of our class, political, or status differences the way Jim Crow and DeFacto residential segregation forced us too. 2. Middle and upper income blacks have their own priorities even among individuals that differ from poor and workingclass blacks. Race, blackness, and struggling against racism don't matter as much anymore or in the same way to all black people. 3. Black business and professional people aren't necessarily always concerned with advancing black people collectively. Elected officials and political insiders often benefit themselves and their cronies. And the Black Capitalist is no different from the white one if he's a major player. The Black Capitalist is about maximizing profit. They only help other blacks if there's money to be made. So this is my non expert take on things.

  6. It's not like all white people have their thing together. It's no secret that millions of them are in the same category as black folk, struggling to get ahead. And a whole lot of them are worse off that Blacks who have reached some degree of success. It's really about elitism and oligarphy. About wealth being concentrated in the hands of a few who exploit the masses. Yes, white skin is a pass port to opportunity, but it can only take you so far. In reality, true equality has never existed in the world, and traits like honesty and integrity don't necessarily reward you with success. The law of the jungle still pervades human civilization. And rugged individualism has to be fortified with ruthlessness and driven by greed. Luck also plays a role. Life is a bitch. Black folks lost Africa to foreign invaders and they've been struggling ever since. Unity is a pipe dream when skin color is too often the only thing groups have in common. It's a cruel world

  9. Michael Archer aka D'Angelo was the pioneer of Neo-Soul music. His Brown Sugar record turned R&B upside-down back in 1995. His live performances were straight fire. D'Angelo was extremely gifted and talented. He leaves behind a body of musical work that will stand the tests of time. Thanks for the musicianship and music. RIP Mr. Michael Archer aka D'Angelo.

  10. @aka Contrarian yeah I've been swamped the last few weeks. I even spent a day on Captial Hill working with lobbyists to reduce credit card swipe fees -- fascinating exercise. I missed an opportunity to connect with my man @ProfD but we will catch up. @Delano I know I owe you a response. To make matter worse all my passwords were deleted from my password manger software --twice so I could not log into anything. It is a pain to login into many systems with a password... I can't even login to the admin console here it has been at least a month since I have approved a new account. I also have 2,200 unread emails in my inbox. I there is a better than even money chance that I will delete everything without reading it and change my email address.

  11. Yeah, I've heard of your in-law: https://aalbc.com/authors/Frank+London+Brown. A collection of his short stories was published a couple of years ago (I see I need to add a couple more of his books). Lives are complex individually and collectively. Thanks for sharing your joy with us @Mel Hopkins. You are truly blessed to have the life you have had and to see your daughter celebrate her nuptials on such a grand scale! Being perhaps the only person on Earth who has had the pleasure of meeting both @aka Contrarian and Mel's mom in the flesh. I think the two would get on quite well @Mel Hopkins. What do you think? Peace & Love.

  13. This is all so fascinating! So, you say that this was deliberate!? They deliberately misinterpreted the Fifth element!? I have never heard of 'the Fifth Element' but although a lot of what was explained was complex for me, I now am happy to say that I could follow some of the idea of what was addressed. I found it very interesting to hear how electricity and gravity, light, etc. was measured and how all of this relates to space! This topic seems to go along with the science about comets and how they travel through space and how scientist are able to know exactly when comets come their closest to the sun and earth, etc. This is mind blowing for me. Even though, I think that the Harvard expert is a little far fetched on his beliefs about this interstellar comet, I respect his brilliance nonetheless. More importantly, I find it amazing in how the ancient Egyptians defined the Fifth Element. I don't know why, but when I was watching the video about this, I for some strange reason, thought about the ancient American Indians and their 'Dream Catchers' and also, I thought about 'dot matrix'. Even though Space Science is intimidating for me, I am still intrigued and love a little bit that I can understand. Thank you for posting this! I think that you are extremely intelligent! When I think about you addressing these topics, it makes me want to go get that movie about the brilliant woman of Color that had something to do with NASA! I haven't seen that movie yet, but I have been trying to slow down so that I can watch it! Girl, you are too smart! @Mel Hopkins And so is your twin! @Delano He is way over my head and I just don't know how to comment on his threads, but I love to read him though.

  21. I knew the Black Panthers were a powerful movement when I learned they took care of the community in ways that embarrassed the government. Today, we need more of that ingenuity. Protesting in the age of smartphones and surveillance will only work against the protestors and aid those who control surveillance equipment. We have to create programs like the Black Panthers did and follow through with them. One of the many ways ICE could enter these dwellings is because the residents are renters, and impoverished renters at that. The first thing we need to do is develop cooperative housing where residents have ownership, even if it's in small shares that come with affordable payments.

  23. Every group of people on the planet seems to have folks who do whatever it takes to blend into the dominant society here in the US. European white folks put their ethnicity aside in order to reinforce the white population here in the US. White folks no longer identify themselves as [insert ethnicity here]-Americans. They are just Americans. Black folks from Africa and the Caribbean also lighten themselves with make-up. If they're too dark to hide it...they'll just conform to whiteness. Begs the question is it considered self-hatred when folks deny their ethnicity.

  24. Nobody's saying it's in our blood not to marry. Just pointing out that neither Common nor Drake put a ring on Serena's finger. As we're pointing out...neither of them married her for whatever reason. The white dude came along and did it. Janet Jackson dated Jermaine Leprechaun Dupri for years. No wedding bells. The rich sand n8gglet married and gave her a child. Penny, er, Janet was walking around in the Middle East for a few years wearing a burka before they divorced and she came back to America richer than before she left. False equivalence bro. Regardless of color, humans belong to the same species. That's why they can procreate. If/when a Black woman runs to the jungle looking for a real ape and not a n8gglet who looks like one...that's a problem.

  33. The Interstellar Star, 3I/Atlas, Has Suddenly Turned into A GREEN STAR New York Post: Manhattan-sized interstellar object 3I/ATLAS now turning green as something is ‘switched on’ as it nears Sun By Shane Galvin Published Sep. 11, 2025, 11:29 p.m. ET The Manhattan-sized interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is now turning green as it rockets closer to the Sun — with experts stating it appears something “switched on” to inspire the “anomalous evolution.” https://nypost.com/2025/09/11/world-news/manhattan-sized-interstellar-object-3i-atlas-turning-green-as-something-is-switched-on-as-it-nears-sun/ Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS could be turning bright green, surprising new photos reveal News By Harry Baker published September 11, 2025 New photos captured during the recent "blood moon" total lunar eclipse show that the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS may be turning green as it gets closer to the sun. https://www.livescience.com/space/comets/interstellar-comet-3i-atlas-could-be-turning-bright-green-surprising-new-photos-reveal ____________________________________________________________________________________ I still have not finished sharing past research about the other three green stars [comet stars] that showed up in our skies! But now, it has just been reported that this new star from another solar system, 3I/ATLAS, has just turned green! The reason why I believe that this star is important for people of African descent to regard stems from ancient prophecies and ancient history. More importantly, I think that the western world deliberately suppresses information that would be a benefit to know. One major hidden issue about this insane new star that has entered our skies revolves around a prediction of when it will come its closest of which is said to be October 29, and October 30, 2025. I believe that Black people should think about a significant historical aspect of this star coming close to our solar system during that time for a very important reason. The fact that this star has suddenly turned green correlates to ancient prophecy. The prophet Daniel, too, wrote about a parent star from which a prophetical star would break off and move into our solar system. Our scholars today report that this 3I/Atlas star that was first seen on July 1, 2025, this year will not harm us and will not come close to earth. But while we read this good and reassuring news, however, for many decades western scholars have also reported that it would not be possible for any star to be green in our solar system. So now though, will they correct their error? Could we have been given a false sense of security? Hopefully, this 3I-Atlas star will stay far away and not bring us any harm and hopefully it will continue to do as the other recent comets and keep moving on out of our inner solar system. But why would these stars come into our solar system just for show? If this star has moved past Jupiter, then would it not be close enough to possibly affect our solar system in some manner? Our solar system planet-stars, no matter how far they are away from the sun, do to affect our earth from time to time as history reveals. So we are made to believe that this fast moving green comet-star moves through our solar system only for show? May be it will not affect our planet or may be it will, who knows for sure? However, for our scholars to ignore the fact that ancient scriptures do reveal that at times, certain stars do affect our planet and therefore hints that there may be a deliberate attempt to hide truth. This interstellar star has been the third star detected to come from another solar system with our technological instruments today, and happens to be much larger than the others. It has been reported that this star measurements are 100 times larger than the other two interstellar stars detected. So far and for thousands of years, there has been no star that has affected our earth to the point that all life has ceased to exist! But for our western scholars to tell us that these recent comets do not affect our planet, seems to NOT be completely truth. For each of the recent three green comets that came from what has said to be 'the Oort Cloud' and that have come closest to our earth, there has been major catastrophes that have happened. Coincidence? At any rate, it seems to be very interesting too, that this new star will come its closest at the time of the most important holiday of all time; Halloween. Halloween would be an ancient 'October Festival' however, due to the earth's tilt, it may begin at the end of September and run up to October, or it may begin in October and run up to the early part of November. Nevertheless, this festival, A DUAL THEMED FESTIVAL, which last for days, would be soundly based on the month of October and has been called by many, many other descriptive terms. But out of all of the terms that define this festival, ultimately, this festival revolves around the theme of HUMAN SACRIFICE; the human sacrifice of Black African men. Thousands of years prior to the downfall of the Egyptian government of the 18th Dynasty and the institution of the Passover Festival, this ancient Festival occurred whereby, a dual [duel] occurred between two black males and in which one was sacrificed. Even after the Exodus, this festival continued to be observed all over the ancient world and up until now. For this reason, the Passover Festival was instituted. And so, more than a thousand years after the Exodus, and due to the earth's tilt and the leap year, Jesus Christ was Crucified on the eve of Halloween when this Saturnalia ritual was set to occur on a LUNAR CALENDAR First Day of the Lunar Month which would have been during the middle of the month of October. At that time too, there was a Total Solar Eclipse of which marks that event in which a new moon occurred. Therefore, the Jews' Passover of which occurred on October 15 and even, or 6:00 P.M., a Thursday evening, coincided with the ancient Hallowed Owen's festival [Saturnalia festival]. For the Jews, it was now October 16, Thursday, but scientifically and for the Romans, it was still 'Woden's Day' or 'Wednesday', October 13 until sunrise. Jesus was made to wear the symbolic royal robe of 'the god Hercules/Mercury' and don a crown for the festival and then sacrificed at the end of the march. In Central Italy, after the overthrow of the Etruscans, the wooden 'brown' or 'bronze' statue of 'the god Saturn' [i.e. Seth] was at times used for the festival and parade and then stored in the Temple of Mercury. In ancient Egypt, the dual was between the god Osiris versus the god Seth. Later after the Fall of the First Roman Empire and in other parts of the world, a blue-black effigy was burned at the end of the festival march. But after the Crucifixion, the time of this ancient festival was changed to revolve around the solar Calendar and moved to be observed at the end of October. Nevertheless, at the time of the Crucifixion, this was also 'the First Resurrection', hence the theme of skeletons coming up out of the graves. Three days after the Crucifixion, on October 19, the First Day of the Week, Sunday, Jesus Christ rose from the Dead. Again, although today, Halloween, continues to be observed as 'a summer's end' festival and incorporates the Harvest Festival, a Daytime theme, however, during the rise of the Roman Empire times and long before, this holiday was a nighttime festival, 'a lunar festival', as the major symbols and themes should reveal. Halloween's dark themes revolve around nighttime hence the moon themes and not the solar disc. Halloween symbols such as 'a crescent moon', bats, cemeteries, skulls, the decapitated pumpkin head, skeletons, and witches, etc. are all lunar themes Also, the major time of year clearly depicts the end of summer, but specifically, the theme revolves around the autumn season of 'death' and of fall leaves, and the color of orange, red, brown, and black. After the Crucifixion, the Passover festival was moved to be observed during the springtime in either March or April in Rome, and the Saturnalia ritual was moved to be observed during the Winter Solstice week in December. If this ancient festival would have been based on 'a solar theme', it would have symbols of daytime and harvest, but it does not. Therefore a harvest festival would be a separate festival apart from a very ancient Halloween festival. As I have shared in the past, throughout times, more and more about this festival has been revealed over the course of thousands of years. So even though scholars today do not mention that around the time of this Halloween, howbeit, we will have this amazing 3I-Atlas star move close and become hidden from earth behind our sun. Will there be another star like this green interstellar comet to come into our solar system as well? 3I/ATLAS has Suddenly Turned Green as It Closes in on Mars

  34. Stephen A. Smith is that Black man who has unabashedly sold out. He's proudly admitted that his job is to make money for his white paymasters. I'd imagine that if he was back in slavery, this dude would have strived to be a Black overseer and snitch. If Black men were on code, a dude like Stephen A. Smith does not exist. As soon as he showed signs of being a sellout, a real-life version of a drop squad would have dealt with him accordingly. Unfortunately, Black men are not dealing with the sellouts among us nor are we punishing those who harm and murder our people.

  36. Merely having Black people in positions doesn't benefit our people. Politicians are elected to serve the needs of their constituents. The reason many politicians get rich is because they helped others make more money. Exactly. Anything else is most likely in exercise in futility. The job of politicians isn't to warm a seat and collect a check. They are supposed to make sure resources get to their constituents. History has shown us past to present that Black people being in positions doesn't help our race. Black overseers were the main people who snitched on runaway slaves and/or plans of escape. It was a house n8gglet who sold out Nat Turner. He got that brotha killed. Classic example of a Black man warming a seat who clearly doesn't a f8ck about his own people. He should've been snatched up by the drop squad a long time ago.

Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker? Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour? Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food? Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes? Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections? You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?! Why don't sheep shrink when it rains? Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress? If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport, the terminal?

  39. Got it the 1st few times. Regardless of internal issues, Haiti and Ireland are still independent countries. Whether it is comfort or anger, my point is those Black folks don't appear to be willing to change their condition. I'm not suggesting or equating comfort with happiness. Maintaining status quo is a form of complacency. Read you clearly there. I even adopted your suggestion of Black tribes. Your suggestion of tribes clicked because I already have it. My dialog here at AALBC is not a recruiting effortt nor a desire to change how anyone else thinks. Just sharing my opinion, view, perspective on topics that come up. Unfortunately, I do not hold my tongue or restrain my typing fingers when I have something to say which is usually about everything. Silence is not an option for me.

  40. Violence is a path to freedom and power. Those who want it badly enough will do what they have to do. I'm not referring to the barbaric violence colonizers used...committing genocide, raping and pillaging others for their land and bodies. Violence as a form of self-defense is absolutely necessary when diplomacy fails. Several forms of post traumatic stress disorder PTSD) to include cognitive dissonance seems to have been passed along and ingrained in the psyche of the descendants of slaves. Most of that work is labor dependent on white folks...paid slavery. The unwillingness to use violence in order to secure freedom and power suggests that Black folks have found a comfortable place within the system of racism white supremacy.

  41. As we've covered in past threads, I totally understand your point in this regard. The reality is that Black folks are not in a position to take wealth by force. Although Black folks do kill others, it's not with the same mentality that white folks are willing to kill anything and everything in their path. I don't believe Black people have the same willingness to go to war and kill others for their freedom or power and wealth.

That is, instead of, for example, getting off scot-free after your small business steals millions of dollars from Medicaid/Medicare.

  46. The sentence doesn't have to be reduced. Diddy will get credit for time served. That's why his lawyers were trying to get his sentence in the range of 14 months. Then, he would have been released on Friday for time served because he's been locked up for more than 80% of 14 months. The courtroom sketch artist doesn't embellish the picture. Diddy is sitting in the detention center looking like this guy. They're not going to let him dye his hair in the penalty box. Best thing for him to do now is cut his hair and beard low. The old man look didn't work at sentencing. He's gonna sit down for a minute. Might as well groom himself and chillax.
