  1. Here I am, setting the record straight again, doing so, not because I think anybody cares, but rather because some may be curious as to why a 92-year- old-senior citizen wastes what little time she has left, hangin' out on an online discussion forum, engaging in verbal fisticuffs with a pioneer who has never blazed a trail anywhere except up his own butt. My answer: since the cyber space universe enables one to adopt an alter-ego, and take on a user name and lead a secret existence, quite a while ago I decided why not do this? What the heck. Might be fun. And it has been. In the real world, I am a widowed mother of 5, grandmother of 7, great grandmotherk of 8, family members of whom know very little about Nana's on-line activity; too wrapped up in their own pursuits. They just know she surfs the internet, amusing herself by engaging in various activities, and they remain clueless about the extent of my involvement on this forum since they don't come to this site. Nor do any of my associates. And, rest assured that my "Contrarian" persona is different from how I am in real life among polite company. However, because I can come here and hide behind an avatar, all bets are off and I can express myself anyway I please, Since I'm no longer a single young woman "out-to-catch", I feel no need to tread lightly and act sweet and feminine. I'm off the grid, and favorably impressing men is no longer a priority of mine. Who needs 'em? Welcome to Super Bitch land. Anyway, I say all this to say that, contrary to what some seem to think, I do not expect others to ward off my detractors or take my side. I can fend for myself. Now you know. What we don't know is how much longer I'll be around? Who cares. I don't. But until my time is up, Nana aka Contrarian will just keep poppin in and out, doin' her thing competing with others who jam the board with long self-indulgent posts full of useless information.

  3. "Thinking outside the box" is fine if you are of a mind to do a lot of work and shoulder a lot of responsibility and stake claims on critical thinking. And, come to think of it, I never met a conspiracy theorist who didn't brag about "thinking outside the box"... so, there's that. But lazy lovers of leisure like me are not so inclined. However I, too, was an avid reader, with writing skills that enabled me to become a contributing columnist to the op-ed pages of a major Chicago newspaper back in the 1970s where my letters-to-the-editor invoked so much response that I was approached by the newspaper to become their resident voice of the black viewpoint. Which I was, for several years. Boy, was that fun. On the job at my local Post Office where I passed up supervisory positions because dealing with time cards required much more effort than the job I held stamping "Registered" on the envelopes of mail containing valuable contents, along with being the go-to person for revising and editing the bulletins and memos dispatched from the front office. And tho I wasn’t thinking outside the box, - I did sing outside the building, because on many mornings one of my favorite things to do was tag along with the maintenance man when he performed his flag-raising duty. While he ran ol glory up the flag pole in front of the building, I would stand by and sing the national anthem. To me, this was just for fun, but being a veteran, the janitor took his duties very seriously and always saluted when he was done. God bless America. And of course after I retired back in the 90s, I got caught up in the self-publishing craze and churned out 3 books which I lost interest in when time came to promote them; too much trouble. Having 5 kids would have to serve as my accomplishments in life, what I achieved - between the sheets. So the roles of a dilettante and wanna-be Renaissance person have been the "this above all" to which mine ownself "has been true". Have at it all you innovative go-getters. Somebody has to take up my slack. But keep in mind, being lazy may have something to do with my longevity. zzzzzzzzzzzz Being a CHICAGO BEAR fan may just become my undoing. I might slit my wrists if they lose to those damned cheese head Green BayPackers tonight! GO BEARS!

In the meantime, I will continue calling balls & strikes i.e. offering my opinions/perspectives on whatever comes up around here. I enjoy the easy chair I've taken up. As always, many thanks to brotha @Troy for providing & maintaining this platform. Much appreciated.

  5. MLK didn't ask to be the leader of the Civil Rights movement. It was a responsibility thrust upon him because he was so good at articulating grievances. It was like, he woke up one morning during the Montgomery bus boycott and all of sudden he was its leader! He did not have time to map out a precise strategy or a long range grand plan, he and his cobbleled-together posse just kinda made it up as they went along, with Mahatma Gandhi's nonviolent philosophy as their inspiration. The idea of making a lot of long-range, multi-faceted demands was out of the question at that time. The movement just focused mainly on equal opportunities, and King endeavored to appeal to the conscience of his oppressors. Integration was a counter to the separate but equal policy that was nothing more than subtle Jim Crowism. Integration represented fellowship and harmony where little black boys and girls would join hands with their white counterparts and partake of equality through tolerance. It was a dream; hence King's "I have a dream" speech. In hindsight, it's easy to criticize him for not embracing the militancy of those like Malcom X and the Black Panthers. But MLK was a man of his times and he was just beginning to re-think his goals when he was assassinated. Many think his taking a stance against the Vietnam war was a mistake but his doing so was in keeping with his pacifism. A cigarette-smoking, scotch- drinking, womanizing King was not perfect, but he fought the good fight, and paved the way for those who eventually came to criticize him for not having more foresight. I lived through King's era, and to me and my contemporaries, he was a real live hero who died a martyr.

  6. It's becoming increasingly obvious that many influencers in these so-called "New Black Media" and "FBA" movements that have been springing up all over social media for the past several years are actually Republican shills masquerading as Black content creators of independent thought. As much as they speak about tangibles for our vote, Reparations, and celebration of our lineage....there are several things they all seem to have in common: 1. They almost never criticize President Trump or the Republican party 2. They constantly criticize the Democrat Party and Democratic politicians both White and Black 3. They are very much anti Black immigrant. It has gone from a "Reparations" movement to a "Delineation" movement where they actively seek to separate and segregate themselves from other Black people. Not just celebrating our unique identity, but also in some cases denying our African roots! I'm also seeing strong evidence of colorism and featurism inside many of these movements that have infiltrated Black social media. I post this because I KNOW for a fact that many of those who follow The New Black Media also frequent this site and read MY content and commentary as well. I'm advising you to be very careful listening to these people and use discernment. Pay attention to not only what people say but what they DON'T say and NEVER say. It's one thing to be anti-immigrant, but if the ONLY immigrants you hear them speaking out against are the Black immigrants....red flag. It's one thing not to trust politics or politicians, but if the ONLY politicians you hear them speaking against are White Liberals and Democrats....red flag.

  7. No, not at all please explain why. It being overly flattering was my biggest critique of Open AI's earlier models. Yes, this is the kind of thing I'm talking about. For any quotes you HAVE to ask the AL for sources and check them. The funny thing if you bust it hallucinating, it will quickly admit the mistake and praise you for it.

  8. Hi all, As Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and Black History Month approach, I wanted to share information about my novel Arc of the Universe by Nikki Alexander which recently released in June 2025. The novel takes its name from the quote by Dr. King: "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." The novel is contemporary and literary fiction about race, DEI, and police brutality in the context of big tech. In Arc of the Universe, a Black law professor has the opportunity of a lifetime to design a system of government for an experimental space settlement by a private tech company. But when she is stopped by the police one night in a case of mistaken identity, the filmed encounter thrusts her into the national discourse on racial justice in the United States. She must regain faith in democracy and in political institutions to craft the "government of the future." Kirkus Reviews has deemed it an "engaging, well-written novel about a woman with her eyes on the stars and problems down on Earth." As a Black lawyer myself, I hope the novel inspires others to consider issues of race and social justice in the context of space and technology as well as the central theme that even small actions can help advance the cause. The novel is available from am*zon as well as Barnes and Noble, Bookshop.org, and other major retailers. https://www.am*zon.com/Arc-Universe-Nikki-Alexander/dp/B0F8YS7VQG. Read reviews on Goodreads and StoryGraph. https://goodreads.com/book/show/231548320. Thank you for your support!

  9. Of course, humans cannot undo the past. However, humans can absolutely levy a debt against those who have wronged them and collect on it. Jews have collected billions of dollars as a result of the holocaust. The Japanese have collected billions of dollars for the nuclear bombs dropped on Nagasaki & Hiroshima. Civil litigation here in the USA is an example of assigning debt to wrongdoings real or perceived. OJ Simpson was found not guilty of murder yet he lost millions of dollars in civil court for the same crime. Diplomacy requires a multilayered approach. When it breaks down, violence results. When the dust settles and smoke clears, it's back to business as usual. We've seen it play out over several wars. It depends on how one defines freedom & wealth. I don't need your help in constructing what I think and know and opine. My vision of freedom & wealth pertains to FBA/AfroAmericans. It includes a multilayered approach to everything from injustices committed against our people past to present, reparations and security. Once our house is in order, FBA/AfroAmericans can build strategic alliances with other Black folks as it is mutually beneficial. I believe ALL groups of Black folks should be doing whatever it takes to reclaim that which has been stolen from them. By any means necessary.

  10. No one knows "nothing," and that's what makes life fun! We get to ponder, test, and sometimes, when we stay focused, we can win prizes! I posted a link to one of the YouTube channels I watch to see what others have been able to prove, for now, in the world of Quantum Mechanics. The YouTuber started strong, but he lost the plot for a minute, then he returned to the story. My problem with some Western physicists is that they forget to look back to the land of our origin. It appears that, long before Western Physicists came up with Quanta, Ancient Africans referred to this field as "The Net," the energy matrix, the field of living energy behind all physical reality. Neter were the conscious forces of nature, the Divine powers/principles manifested through natural forms. Masters of the Net used thought to shape physical reality. Similarities between The Net and Quanta include: All existence is interconnected. - Africans have several words for this concept, including umoja (unity) and ubuntu (which shares the philosophy "I am because we are..."). Consciousness and intention shape reality, much like the observer effect in quantum mechanics, And matter is a manifestation of spiritual energy. Both Quanta and Neter suggest that an intelligent energy field underpins the physical world. Medu Neter, the divine language, embodies this idea, showing that spiritual energy manifests as matter. Recognizing these parallels enriches my view of how ancient African spirituality aligns with modern quantum theories, emphasizing interconnectedness and the role of consciousness in shaping reality. All that to say, whenever the conversation turns to the Western concept of quantum mechanics, I always go back to the source, "The Net" and Ancient African spirituality. Thank you again!

  11. @Mel Hopkinsthe longer I live, the more I'm inclined to concur that chaos is the "norm" that we have to try and make sense of. Quantum physics certainly seems to suggest this.

  12. Happy New Year @aka Contrarian and AALBC Fam! As for the two popular words, I avoid both like COVID-19. Still, I like hearing about new things. I've never heard of Zipf's law. In fact, I wondered if it was a law or an odd occurrence. Well, you know, I ran to Gen AI to see how we use this empirical law and why it matters. And wow! "Coherence" is the long story short. It helps you examine your writing from a mathematical perspective. Still, I also found that "writing for likes" could have forced writers, even me, to stop fully expressing ourselves, especially in storytelling. I compared a story I wrote in 2009 with a story I wrote in 2025 - and Gen AI said I didn't sacrifice the long tail for the head in my writing - (whew). Still, in a way, I knew that because I rarely go viral with any of my stories. Thank you for sharing this new (to me) information. It even helped me to update my 2009 story as a cautionary tale for 2026!

  14. "Matthew Lawrence had a second chance at love with Chilli. 'I wouldn’t have been ready for this type of relationship in my early 20s. No way,' Lawrence, 45, exclusively told Us Weekly while discussing his upcoming Hallmark+ reality series, Second Chance Love. Lawrence and Chilli, 54, will serve as cohosts and executive producers for the show, which was filmed on location in Sardinia, Italy. Second Chance Love sees five couples reunite for a rare second chance with the one that got away. Lawrence and Chilli (real name Rozonda Thomas) bring an authentic perspective to the show, as they found love with each other after previously experiencing heartbreak in past relationships."

  17. Not to take this thread in another direction but............ Since we're on the subject of Black women and beauty pageants, the issue of colorism should be addressed. We need to make sure the Black women who engage in and especially those who win these contests should actually be BLACK. Too often you have non-Black and mixed people who "back door" their way into these events and end up being hoisted over and on top of the actual Black participants. This is nothing but a product of self-hatred. Looking at a woman who is obviously not Black or looks like she's almost White...and calling HER "the most beautiful" woman in the community. One of my biggest problems with Beyonce wasn't Beyonce herself...but how she was often glorified as a symbol of "Black" female beauty. Whenever the subject of comparing female celebrities by race, Whites and Latinos would promote the women they thought were the most beautiful but when it came to Black people.....a lot of bruthaz would promote women like Beyonce or Halle Berry back in the day. Women who obviously weren't Black. A lot of pro-FBA podcasters are promoting lightskinned women as "ideal" models for who an FBA is or what an FBA looks like. They're pushing Beyonce and Angel Reese.

  29. IMO, the New Black Media should stay focused on the following: 1) Reporting issues of which FBA/AfroAmericans need to be aware under the system of racism white supremacy 2) Maintaining our history and recognizing our master teachers i.e. Black folks past and present 3) Highlighting positive accomplishments of FBA/AfroAmericans 4) Networking opportunities 5) Reparations There is really no reason for FBA/AfroAmericans to be concerned in one way or another with non-oppressor groups of people. FBA/AfroAmericans should delineate from other groups of people that: 1) do not want to build strategic alliances 2) support the system of racism white supremacy Otherwise, FBA/AfroAmericans have enough issues to deal with instead of putting on a cape for others. History proves that from slavery up to present, no other group of people has significantly helped FBA/AfroAmericans here the USA. FBA/AfroAmericans should not get into petty beefs or go back & forth with any other group of people especially other Black folks. They are victims too. The mission of FBA/AfroAmericans should be putting in the work necessary to make America pay for its original sin. Anything else is a smoke screen or distraction. A waste of time & energy.

  30. Let's call it for what it is..... Nigeria got pimp slapped. Nigeria claiming to "ok" this strike or even "ask" for it is just an effort to save face because in reality there wasn't much they could have done to stop it anyway. It's like that DJ Pooh in Friday trying to save face with Deebo by not asking for his bike back.......... He didn't ask for it back because he was AFRAID to. He knew Deebo would only give it back IF he wanted to and WHEN he wanted to and there wasn't shit he could do about it. He knew Deebo could easily beat his ass...lol. His ignorant ass father either didn't know or didn't understand this and tried to FORCE the boy to "stand up" for himself and demand the bike back and the results were as expected: The same situation applies to Nigeria. Trump was going to strike in Nigeria anyway whether the government agreed to it or not and there was little they could do to stop it. Them "objecting" to it or putting up some sort of resistance would have only made things work because they aren't militarily strong enough to do so. But there's another problem......... The REACTION so many Black podcasters are having over this strike. They sound like Pooh's silly ass father when they criticize Nigeria and call them weak or point the finger at them as if they actually could of done otherwise. It shows a level of insensitivity, ignorance, and immaturity that's I'm beginning to expect from them when it comes to criticizing other Black folks for doing or not doing things that THEY clearly aren't in a position to do either. "Why yall let America strike targets in your country like that? Why didn't yall fight back? Man,yall weak....see...that's why yall aren't respected by other nations! They wouldn't have done that to China! Africans need to learn how to be a military force to be respected and reconned with!" These same niggaz on podcasts criticizing Nigeria for "letting" Trump strike inside the country....if the police come up in THEIR house and slap them and their families around and lock them up....ain't shit THEY would be able to do about it besides sit there and cry. So many American Black folks have been beat up and shot down by the police and THEY didn't fight back, but they want to criticize Africans and other Black nations when racism harms them and THEY don't fight back. It is what it is. These Black folks didn't fight back because they weren't strong enough to. Calling themselves "fighting back" ...at this point...would have probably made the situation worse because America would have probably responded with a strike that would have decimated what military power they DO have! We can criticize people for selling out, especially when it's not necessary; however Black people need to stop this habit of attacking fellow victims of racism. It's clearly a cover or way to deal with their own misplaced feelings of helplessness.

More often than not the LAW is forced to hunt them down and either kill them or lock them up for the violence and crimes they committed against loved ones. FBA/AfroAmericans don't need a pimp. Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of AfroAmericans who give away MILLIONS of dollars to these preachers and pastors every year keeping them driving in nice cars, living in fine homes, and dressed in the finest clothes...lol. Atleast pimps PROTECT they hoez and make sure they have a place to stay, lol. Professional sports teams are set up to make tons of money. Winning is secondary. Ok, you are pulling a @frankster now, and making your examples more specific than they initially were....lol. First you simply said "sports teams", but now you're talking about PROFESSIONAL sports teams. Professional sports is a whole different ball game (pun intended....lol) When it comes to professional sports the objective is to make money, whether that involves winning OR taking a dive and losing on purpose. However, just like my African tribe had to learn, a lot of FBA/AfroAmericans are very well off. Can't look down on us. We don't need them for anything. I'm not so sure about that. Do we "need" them? No But if we were smart we could certainly use them and their connections to Africa to benefit our community....IF we were smart. This immature back-n-forth so many of our people are engaging in with the Africans is just down right juvenile and non-productive in my opinion. They show up at my house for family functions grinning and smiling like Jack-O-Lanterns and drinking and eating up food like they just jumped off a Save the Children commercial LOL. Looks like you be treating them to Soul Food Sundays. Only up until they're around successful FBA/AfroAmericans. They learn. Sometimes it has the opposite effect. While most see successful AfroAmericans and realize they've been lied to, others see successful AfroAmericans and become jealous and resentful and wish they could take their place.

Relegate them to a certain class/status. I was referring to them looking down on FBA/AfroAmericans based on propaganda they have been fed by white folks.

  36. ProfD IMO, NF Jr. is right in that regard. Taking care of those who need the most help reduces the likelihood of them becoming hopeless, desperate and dangerous. Some of these clowns you can't help. Look at how so many parents have been killed by their own crazy ass drug addicted children who they let stay with them. The ONLY way to take care of some of these fools is to take them out back somewhere and take care of them...as Dr. Umar would say: "FOR GOOOOOD!" Good luck. A higher power hasn't save any country or group of people yet. It takes 1) violence or 2 ) benevolence for a group of people to improve themselves. When I say a HIGHER POWER needs to keep the community stable and protected I'm talking about another benevolent nation who would have our best interests in mind. Ofcourse I definitely welcome DIVINE POWER to come in and do it; however since I'm talking to YOU....I was speaking of a powerful nation. A nation with a military strong enough to keep us protected from any outside aggression or meddling in our affairs as well as one strong enough to step in and prevent our community from devolving into chaos and civil war....so could focus strictly on improving ourselves. I don't know of any nation on the planet currently who is strong enough AND benevolent enough to do this for AfroAmericans. Team sports shows that working together cooperatively leads to success. That's because sports teams are a controlled environment where: 1. There's a clear and undisputed leader: The coach 2. There's a clear objective: To win games 3. Although many people may try out and join the team, the team only keeps players who are qualified to BE on the team. Those who aren't qualified or players who become dead weight on the team end up getting cut. How do you "cut" unqualified members from an entire race or ethnic group? Instead of fleeing to a predominantly white country, I wonder why those Black folks won't solve that problem in their home countries. Surely that's a rhetorical question.....lol. if a man cannot stand on bizness in staying put and fixing his home country, he has no right to flee & talk sh8t to and/or look down on people in another country. Many Africans don't look down on White Americans....they look down on BLACK Americans, lol. They figure they're in the country because WHITE FOLKS let them come here...not us....and THAT'S who they choose to do business with. Many of them don't even consider Black folks as "real Americans"...lol. That's why so many of them were surprised that we couldn't be deported. They feel this is "white folks" house. If I'm a guest in somebody's house, I'm concerned about how THEY feel....not one of their dysfunctional children living down in the basement, lol. Now excuse me as I kick back, drink some herbal tea, and read this joint richardmurray just dropped....lol.

  44. I recently caught the movie "All Eyez on Me", the biopic of Tupac, on TV. I don't remember this movie getting a lot of hype when it first came out, but I was impressed with it. It was well produced, well scripted, and well acted. The actors who played Tupac and Shug Knight were not only excellent in their portrayals but their resemblance to Pac and Shug was amazing. Same for the minor characters playing real life people like Dr. Dre and Snoop Dog. I'm assuming the production company who released this film was black because of the authenticity of it. Anyway, I plan to watch it again because it's running all month long on my TV subscription.

  47. Regardless of who is having children, the population is still growing. If a handful of men of [insert race here] are not approaching women and/or procreating for whatever reason...that doesn't account for the majority of men who are still doing their thing. Wealth building is very real. The unfortunate truth is that Black folks have been deceived and distracted away from it. Black folks have invested way too much intellectual capital in stuff like religion and expended a huge amount of physical capital in making other folks wealthy. Way too many Black folks concentrate on working a job for someone else instead of employing themselves. The real secret to white folks success is stealing from and/or making other folks work for them.
