The thing I think you are over looking is Troy being Black is working with me who is Black. My works are multi cultural production. I give acknowledgements in the book, but with the exception of Kenlyn who did the reading for the Audiobook I don’t put the participants in the metadata. The first two pictures were done by a Black Person in Nigeria for one of my upcoming projects. There name will appear on the cover because they will be doing both the writing and drawing. Also promotional material had Black people participating in the production, but there two those are behind the scenes participants.

It’s Here My First NFT Is Live

I still have to list it. Mining cost are around $150. @Troy That’s the same question which is always asked. It’s precisely the answer what distinguishes the scammed from the winners and those on the sideline. Thank you. That’s good to know. -
After a few months of procrastinating, I saw my favorite female Entrepreneur Prof Kezia M. Williams video. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CZR9fqyhgTD/?utm_medium=copy_link She is the author of The Black Entrepreneurs’ Workbook. So after I watched the video, I got fired up. Here it is. https://opensea.io/assets/0x495f947276749ce646f68ac8c248420045cb7b5e/46223523598365333350210505486367128690609370038850234427737026812724012646401/ Let me get your feedback and share it with others.

That’s not how inspiration and enriching others work. Many people take the lessons and apply it to their lives and never make contact with Oprah. I am not a fan either but his book provides references which support my thesis. It would be redundant to write what was already written about Blacks being able to be racist or the origins of racial constructs as it pertains to Europeans and Americans.

I say you are woefully uninformed. You fail to acknowledge the social conditions and seem to think that one insult is better than another. It was the best they had available at the time. Where are the collections of these actors work https://screenrant.com/best-black-actors-old-hollywood/ we need to be growing not suppressing. -

But not the first Black to win an Oscar. The press tries to hide Hattie’s accomplishments. -
Because of Cultural Fossilization(Social Heredity) many old biases are subconsciously passed on and acted upon. This is why we see different groups holding on to old prejudices. This however is as big as needing to change the legal enforcement of race related laws. @Dr Francis Welsin is merely expressing a black voice supporting the Anti-miscegenation laws or miscegenation laws. Those are laws that enforce racial segregation at the level of marriage and intimate relationships by criminalizing interracial marriage and sometimes also sex between members of different races. There are also old laws which are on the books that need to revised or removed. Examples are the efforts to eradicate different negative effects with sentencing in criminal cases. Have you read How To Be An AntiRacist by Kendi X? He addresses the question of can Black People be racist and demonstrates Blacks do have power. It is unrealistic to say President Obama has no power; Oprah has no power; Clarence Thomas has no power and countless other Blacks. It’s like a deflection to keep other blacks from tearing them down because they have power.

That’s a valid conclusion. The number of Blacks has no bearing on whether the content is beneficial. Why do you think the genre was called Blaxploitation Films. They were just as negative if not more. In one you have a black in a position by force, while in the other you have self destructive volunteers. -
That bill failed because it was based on the lie of racial obstacles. What they were really attempting to do is get $6 additional from the federal government for each $1 fund raised. Most people in America who vote realize they are no barriers. If there were how did Raphael Warnock get elected? Why are more Blacks running for Congress? Bingo that sums up how most productive Black Americans feel. We aren’t in the 90’s. The adjustments needed in our society are not as large as before and we need to focus on building on our progress.

You are too old for the new reality Blacks are facing. Trump has sounded the return beacon to the Republican Party. This is because of his good sense, business approach to life. Once again Black people are asserting they don’t want handouts. They want people to get out of their way. The biggest challenge is overcoming the rising tide of criminality in our communities. People do as people see and hear. We have to speak live, not dependency into our communities.

It’s Older Black Democrats and Older White Republicans which are stopping more Blacks from joining the Republican Party. Still young Black men and women are waking up to the reality that the GOP holds the key to access to the American Dreams. The Biden administration is demonstrating how Big Government policies are making life harder for all Americans. It’s estimated that 25% of Black voters will be returning to the Republican Party.

We are having this conversation because people won’t step out of the racial paradigm. In African there was no concept of race just peoples. We are participating in 500 years of Cultural fossilization. Out participating here is a reaction to how our society has been formed. It doesn’t make the Earth Flat or the Sun the center of the Universe. It’s more like a harp string that has be plucked and is vibrating back and forth.
