  4. I have said in this very online community many times, my two married black parents made sure my education started at home first and not just history but arithmetic/chemistry/sports. I support the sister in her action to strengthen the culture of black learning in tampa. This isn't a museum but it is a place in a black populace in a state referring to the black populace in the state it's in, thank you troy https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/10746-blacks-in-hawaii/ some quotes "we have seen a force that would shatter our nation rather than share it, people will destroy a place or a people rather than to be accepting of diversity" The language of Black Federalist is so strong, but I comprehend the larger message which the father of Black Federalism, Frederick Douglass started. To black federalist the usa is what they want it to be, a pan-human government where equal opportunity plus individual rights exist for all in it, gardless their historical or modern relationship to the usa. And blacks who are not federalist are free to do as they will but black federalists will not speak to their partition in the black populace in the usa no matter their quantity or quality. "in the 1930s census , it has a list of people including my family members and no one could read and no one could right and that just ... was incredible to me" I wish she would had used the word saddening/angering. I don't find anything incredible/shocking/uncommon/odd about enslaved people, jim crow is a form of slavery, being unabled or disabled; that is the point of slavery. Slavery before the war between the states or Jim Crow after the war between the states from whites wouldn't had been mostly successful if it didn't unable or disable most black people.

  7. @Pioneer1 You want to change things, pioneer. where do you live? don't tell me. IF you live in a big city , it has a black populace. Find what city council member seat exist in a region that has majority black votes. Start a party of governance with the pure purpose of promoting legislation to that region's black populace. You only say yes when your region gets something, you push laws to advance the black populace in your district. Simple. IF you live in a black town or black county , go for the mayoralty or county head position with the same platform. Black mayors aren't powerless but the white two party system has limits for the black populace. Black elected officials in the usa aren't powerless but the white two party system has limits for the black populace. Black elected officials need a black party of governance in the usa to aid the black populace in the usa more. Can a black party of governance happen in the usa? of course. Will a black party of governance have challenges from in the black populace as well as the non black ? of course. Can a white party, the donkeys or elephants, allow for a black elected officials to aid black people more than a black party of governance? never. black party of governance speech:) https://aalbc.com/tc/blogs/entry/194-richard-murray-creative-table/page/5/?tab=comments#comment-496

  14. Thank you to Kisura Flytie for informing me about hawaii's black community her youtube https://www.youtube.com/@plantdyefortextiles I asked questions, here are my answers The schomburg is a museum/library dedicated to a part of the history /heritage of the Black populace in the U.S.A. It was started by Schomburg, who is black, but the schomburg has always rejected the various perspectives of black history or heritage in the usa for a focus on integrated heritage , the segregatory/militant/nationalistic heritages in the black populace in the usa have always been downplayed, not unwanted, but not emphasized, not exposed. https://www.nypl.org/locations/schomburg the Schomburg started as part of the 135th street branch until it expanded beyond it. So the schomburg was always apart of the new york public library system which i argue is the largest library system of any city in humanity. Where I live, Harlem has a chamber of commerce since 1896 but it was started by whites and has always been a unenthusiastic advocate of black ownership, even in harlem itself. The following is the alliance of black chambers of commerce in the usa. the international section is informative. https://usblackchambers.org/ The closest to my locale is the long island https://liaacc.org/ I signed up to their newsletter, i suggest you all find your local and if you don't have one in the city you live in, let's talk abd maybe we can figure out how to start one.

  16. Well, I am glad @Pioneer1 + @ProfD said what either had to say. Neither brought positivity which is unfortunate, but that was my fault

  18. @ProfD THis is the 100% truth more than an opinion The USA was created by white european male christian hetero enslaving humans:) all other groups have been pushed into a corner/an enslaved space/an isolated space or impotent from the usa's inception. The post a question to you: can the usa be changed into a place where all humans in its legal bounds can be potent/free/owners?
  19. @ProfD well,you cut up my question to Troy... I wasn't trying to make a generalization cause in the context of the usa variances matter. non white european immigrants post 1965 came to the usa willingly but were never enfranchized. native americans were enfranchized and had their franchise taken. The descended of enslaved I will argue still aren't even mostly convinced they are part of the usa in a positive way. white women were the first female group accepted as citizen but never had power. yes I don't know if it was you or another who said they don't like speaking on the past, but the problem with generalizations with these issues is the path to today varies. The usa wasn't started as a government where all peoples were empowered , represented and white male chirstian hetero people took. the usa was started by one group , and one group only and no other group had any power, outside the native american whose land was continuously taken by the usa in its emperial growth from sea to shining sea. You know all this, I am not educating you or anyone else, but going forward about solutions, the details matter and I am 100% convinced that people don't come to the same conclusions about the past, including in this topic, women. I am certain many women don't see a path to equality in the usa. And while some can oppose their position. I can argue in their defense, the usa was never made for women to have power. And if the usa can never be a place where women have power then discussing womens power in the usa is not as important in how women can carve a bit of the usa or the usa entirely into a place that they can.
  20. @Troy i am not intimate to the strike's affairs but from what I comprehend from a distance one goal was to provide protections for unionized thespians from the producers using what is commonly called AI to undermine or diminish or delete payment of human labor in the film industry. Another goal was to restructure the film industry as places outside the usa have the technology to produce most mid to low budget films , plus have lower labor cost or lower cost of production that the hollywood section of the film industry in the usa will never be able to compete with. No industry in the usa has pay equity so... Quesiton, do you think absent government interventions that the industries in the usa can have an ownership as multiracial as the labor pools? I have said to women that the true problem with women in the usa is very simple. men own everything and i don't care how smart women are or merited, or how many women exists but the legacy of ownership can not be beaten through legal fiscal capitalistic means. Either women figure out a way for the government to reboot an industry , i think all industires in the usa need it, or women find illegal fiscal means to gain advantages to leverage and usurp the male dominated ownership groups in all industries. but college education/contracts/deals/merit will never lead to women ownership and the labor respect that comes from ownership.

  22. @Troy yes it does, 100% guitar hero is a game, and an old tradition. In the same way ches/mancala/checkers was used to teach strategy, guitar hero has a role in teaching the guitar . hahaha:) well, that is the fate of all games, they have their time then don't then do again. The truth is, all games need a community of games players, but in the age of the internet, the local offline communal game playing culture has suffered. People rather the convenience of not having to be outside or deal with people who they have to see to involve themselves with.
  23. @Pioneer1 Having a calm mind is fortunate. I wish it for all black people. Yes, compare or contrast are always arguable and human communities when large enough have communities within themselves, and sometimes communities within communities within communities. and in all that some are more positive or more negative. But, I don't think it is unfair to say that black people in the usa in multilog with ourselves tend to have more who make other communities out to be seamless communities of peace, when it simply isn't true. NYC is the proof. All communities in nyc today are dysfunctional, dysfunctional defined as lacking power or organization or guidance to their betterment, it is that simple. I shared the thing about the white jewish schools in nyc being sued, a white jewish woman started that legal procedure, it wasn't a government thing. And i think she is right. Like the black populace in nyc's elected officials, who do nothing in my opinion for the betterment of the black populace in nyc, the white jewish clergy in nyc are maintaining a brainwashing scheme on their own people, enslaving their own people to the scheme of their leadership. I call that slavery. and east asians are enslaving their own too. In the last few years, one of the asian mafia operations was found out in nyc, but it wasn't because the city government was investigating. it was because the health department had to step in. the asian mafia for some reason thought you can fit 100 human beings in an apartment and not cause a health disaster. The children who have died in meth operations covered as daycare's were all latino. LAtino children were murdered by the unconcern of latinos, committing illegal activities. The black elected officials in NYC are not helping the black populace in nyc well enough in m view BUT they aren't brainwashing black children like white jewish priest are doing white jewish, they are not getting kids killed being uncaring like latino illegal actors are doing to latino children, they are not treating black people like enslaved folk before the war between the states like the asian mob. I just think the black populace in the usa has problems, but I Do think too many black people in the black populace in the usa utter a lie that the black populace is the worst off internally. I oppose that sentiment. Black people in the usa are not doing as many negatives as the non black, it is time for black people in the usa to simply state that truth.
