I don't know how I'm able to post here, having not done the required procedure, but I'm not complaining.😛2 points

There are a bunch of thing I need to work through, but the most important thing is that one. Resetting your password does not work yet (did it ever?). I hope to have that working sometime this evening. If you can login you are free to use the forum. After I get the password reset working I'm begin making some esthetic changes. Fun facts: We have been using this software since Sunday, September 13, 2009! The last time I upgraded to a new server was in 2019 and the forum was down for 10 days (at least)!1 point

Since the forum have been restored only @Delano , @ProfD , @aka Contrarian , @richardmurray, @Troy have posted. I just noticed if you mouse over the name, you see a preview of the profile. Many of the other posters @Mel Hopkins , @frankster , @Pioneer1 , @Chevdove , @umbrarchist ; @harry brown , @Milton have yet to return. I know I have to make the forums landing page less confusing and more appealing. I doubt think I would post here looking at the main page:: https://aalbc.com/tc/ I struggled trying to get the forum back up I got tired of looking at 🥺it but I really need to do something with that main page and cracking on attracting more participants. In the past 7 days despite the outages traffic from search is slightly up 2% according Goolge's Search Console with the most popular page in search results being: THE 100 BEST BLACK MOVIES (EVER) - Culture, Race & Economy - African American Literature Book Club1 point

Absolutely. Only a small percentage of the population has ever been smart enough to do great things. Creativity & innovation aren't tied to literacy rates. Same goes for basic human behavior. Last week, a few astronauts returned from a trip around the moon supposedly.😉 NASA still uses a lot of the same engineering of 50 years ago to build the spacecraft. Heat shields prime example. Computer & AI is derivative technology built up over the past 50 years & counting.😎1 point

When the pendulum swings back and the smoke clears, America will never be the same, no matter which party prevails. Civilization aided and abetted by AI will morph into an entirely different society. If you're an optimist, nothing to worry about.1 point

He IS the embodiment of the American spirit -- THAT is why he is a 2-time president and multibillionaire.1 point

Our login credentials work fine for the AALBC forum. I've noticed the other part of AALBC wanted me to sign-up (my regular login didn't work).😎1 point

@ProfD Trump always takes the low ground, never the high ground. He says what a lot of prople really think and appeals to the worst in people, with his lack of propriety. England's royal couple, King Charles and his consort Queen Camilla are coming to America as a good will gesture in connection with America's celebration of its 250th birthday. Wouldn't be surprised if the meglomanical Trump tries to upstage them, and a lot of people will approve of this. Trump is an iconoclast, which wouldn't be such a bad thing if he, himself, wasn’t such a depraved, narcisstic, ignoramus. As POTUS, he's a terrible embodiment of the America spirit on the occasion of its 250th anniversity.1 point

No, I did not mean to suggest that I found something "innately wrong" with it. I was just curious about the motivation. Sometimes, perhaps often, we do things without understanding the true motivation. It is the same curiosity I have about people who wear spacers in their earlobes, cover their bodies in tattoos, or color their hair purple. I will admit 20 years ago I probably would have been more judgmental about those things. Today I could care less about what a person does with their own body, but I'm still curious about the motivation. Look, white people invented dying hair blond or at least popularized it before Black women began doing it. Obviously, white women were not motivated by race. Maybe it is not racial for our deeply melaninated women either.1 point

(crowd cheering) can we talk? [laughter] Okay. Right now I'd like to tell you a story, okay? But in order for me to tell you the story, you must, you just must use your imagination. Okay, ladies. (gentle music) Okay, first, imagine that this is the finest man you have ever seen in your life! (crowd cheering) Whoo! Is he fine or what? (crowd cheering) But he's mine. And I love him. But on my way to rehearsal, I saw this man. Whoo-whee! And girlfriend, let me tell you, he was finer than my man was! So I wanted to mess around with him a little bit. You know what I'm saying? But I couldn't leave my man, could I? - No. - So in order to have my cake and eat it too, I had to keep him a secret. Do we have any secret lovers out here in the house tonight? (crowd cheering) This is for you. [official song] Here we are, the two of us together Takin' this crazy chance to be all alone We both know that we should not be together 'Cause if we're found out, it could mess up both our happy homes I hate to think about us all meetin' up together 'Cause as soon as I look at you, it will show on my face, yeah Then they'll know that we've been loving each other We can't let 'em know, no, no, no, we can't leave a trace Secret lovers, yeah, that's what we are We shouldn't be together But we can't let go, no, no 'Cause we love each other so (ooh) Sittin' at home, I do nothin' all day But think about you and hope that you're okay Hopin' you'll call before anyone gets home I wait anxiously alone by the phone How could something so wrong be so right? I wish we didn't have to keep our love out of sight, yeah Livin' two lives just ain't easy at all But we gotta hang on in there or fall Secret lovers, yeah, that's what we are Tryin' so hard to hide the way we feel 'Cause we both belong to someone else But we can't let it go 'Cause what we feel is, oh, so real So real, so real You and me, are we fair? Is this cruel? Or do we care? Can they tell what's in our minds? Maybe they've had secret love all of the time In the middle of makin' love we notice the time We both get nervous 'cause it's way after nine Even though we hate it, we know it's time that we go We gotta be careful so that no one will know Secret lovers, yeah, that's what we are Tryin' so hard to hide the way we feel 'Cause we both belong to someone else But we can't let it go 'Cause what we feel is, oh, so real So real, so real So real, so real Songwriters: Wayne I.
