Well, I define Black Greatness, absent any desire to influence another's definition, as contentment. I think when Black folk are happy, nothing like it exists anywhere else in humanity.

@Troy yeah, i know too well, but if we all in aalbc can make this corner of the internet a place of some uplifting online, that is worth something -

@Troy I did answer. You suggest I did not. ok. I have never considered myself wiley.

@Pioneer1 Fair enough, I think you are foolish wasting your energies drilling it into others, as you say. I oppose that way of supporting your views. I am 100% certain the christian wars against muslims , commonly called the crusades, were in the past largely and are in modernity partially based on religious race. Moreover, the history of religious conversions throughout all humanity but especially in the time period in europe before what i call the european global imperial age, is a clear sign of extreme negative bias used through racial , religious race, standings. In the merchant of venice, the play from shakespeare, Shiloh is barred from his community for that conversion. If anything ,clarence thomas's treatment by the black community in the usa in modernity shows a much more lenient racial environment to one deemed a traitor than in the past. But the point is, it doesn't matter if another thinks race had nothing to do with the crusades at all. You are willing to drill but I don't need everyone to stand with my positions or views. Well, you call the modern catholic approach, the catholic church used to be a very strong proselytizer, ineffective, but I counter that correct label with another, while positive, honest. Let people come to you on their own. Even though I preached in this very post I will try my best to stop preaching/prosyletizin/selling I don't want or need to preach/prosyletize/sell anymore. and though not easy in the usa, a country of preaching, i will try And to my multitribal approach to the tribes in our village, since you love it, have fun preaching pioneer:) @Troy I didn't miss your question and I thought I answered it. I prefer neither. I have my own path/position/views. I am glad you both have yours. You use the word plausible, many able to be praised or applauded. I applaud or praise neither, but I don't like prosyletizing nor do I try to aid prosyletizing. you and pioneer can have all that. And yes, I will in the future fall into prosyletizing, but I try to exit out as fast as possible.

@Troy yeah, fair enough. Only one element of your reply lead to my confusion, not the whole thing. But I comprehend your position more completely now. Same thing, pioneer's position I comprehend like your's. Neither of you are the same frequency or wave structure as mine, but that is fine. I comprehend you both, that is more important than agreement or similar thinking. @Pioneer1 focus your energies on building side those who share your position on race. The question I have to you is what do you want? do you want to preach to black people who do not or may not share the position that you side many other black people have concerning race? Or, do you want to build upon that view? If nothing can be built then people will come upon the position or they will not, but no need to proselytize

richardmurray replied to Troy's topic in Black Literature
cool @Greg Thomas will you keep us updated on your creative journey to that contest in this forum? -
@ProfD fair enough, I comprehend your position. Many black people in the usa want a certain respect for the black journey in the usa. @Troy and in each time i used the word white it was signifying a phenotypical group in humanity. To be fair none. I wasn't knocking your source. It came to the conclusions you have said or alluded to before in this community. I jump to conclusions based on the consistency of your own replies from what I have read in this forum in topics concerning race. It has nothing to do with chatgpt. All I can say to chatgpt is the machine's answer sounds similar to your own, which is fine, no problem. as least I have no problem with it.

More schools that forced American Indian children to assimilate revealed
By Dana Hedgpeth and Emmanuel Martinez
Ione Quigley, the Rosebud Sioux Tribe's historic preservation officer, returns to her seat after speaking during a ceremony at the U.S. Army's Carlisle Barracks, in Pennsylvania, in 2021. The site is the former home of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School. (Matt Rourke/AP)A nonprofit group has identified 115 more Indian boarding schools than has been previously reported, offering new insight into the role of religious institutions in the long-standing federal policy to eradicate Native Americans’ culture through their children.
For more than a century, generations of American Indian, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian children were forced or coerced from their homes and communities and sent to live at schools where they were beaten, starved and made to abandon their Native languages and culture. The U.S. Department of the Interior announced last year that the federal government ran or supported 408 such schools in 37 states, including 21 schools in Alaska and seven in Hawaii, from 1819 to 1969.
The new list released Wednesday by the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition uses a different criteria, bringing the number of known Indian boarding schools in the country to 523 in 38 states. In addition to the federally supported schools tallied by the Interior Department, the coalition identified 115 more institutions that operated beginning in 1801, most of them run by religious groups and churches.
Reckoning of American Indian boarding schools growsThe National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition identified 115 more schools than the 408 federally funded schools previously recognized, bringing the known number of schools that forced Native American children to assimilate to White culture to 523 across the U.S.
The coalition scoured thousands of records scattered across the National Archives, universities, tribal offices and local historical societies to identify and map the schools as part of an effort to raise awareness about an often forgotten part of U.S. history.
“Regardless of who was complicit in running these schools, whether it was done by the federal government or a church or religious group, they both thought it was acceptable to create these schools to remove Native children from their land, strip them of their language and reprogram them under a Manifest Destiny model,” said Samuel Torres, deputy chief executive of the coalition.
Tens of thousands of American Indian children attended these schools, although no one knows the exact number. Thousands are believed to have died, the coalition said.
There are increasingly few Native elders alive to give firsthand accounts of their time at the schools. Many are now in their 70s and 80s and attended the schools in the late 1940s and ’50s. Some were physically, mentally and sexually abused. Their experiences left them deeply scarred.
The coalition’s work comes amid a growing effort to expose the harmful legacy of the boarding school era on American Indian families and tribes as part of the federal government’s broader, centuries-long policies to try to eradicate Native Americans and seize their land. The reckoning has been spurred in large part, many Native leaders said, by the discovery in 2021 of roughly 200 unmarked graves of children who died at a residential school in Canada.
Fawn Sharp, president of the National Congress of American Indians — a D.C.-based lobbying group — said the findings in Canada “ignited a reawakening” of the United States’ painful history of Indian boarding schools, especially among elders who went to the institutions and never spoke about their experiences.
“We’re getting to a place where they’re starting to pass away, and we want to make sure the truth is known and the truth is told, so there’s some measure of justice because we’re all impacted as Native people,” said Sharp, who is also the vice president of the Quinault Indian Nation in Washington state.
The healing coalition partnered with the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada to build a map similar to one the Canadian center did that looked into how Indigenous children in Canada were forced into residential schools.
Of the additional schools on the coalition’s list, 105 were run by missionary groups and churches. Officials at the coalition said it is difficult to tell exactly how those schools were funded because the records are held in private collections of religious missions or church groups and more research needs to be done.
Nine were opened after 1969 — beyond the time frame investigated by the Interior Department. Another operated as both a boarding school and a day school at one point, the coalition said.
The coalition’s small staff has spent the past three years locating and analyzing records on boarding schools, which are often hard to find and incomplete. Its latest work found more schools in Oklahoma — which had the most, with 95 — and Hawaii, where researchers revealed another 22, bringing that state’s total to 29.
Over the past year, U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland — a member of the Pueblo of Laguna tribe whose grandparents were stolen from their homes and sent to boarding schools — has traveled the country in what her agency calls a “Road to Healing Tour.” She has visited nine tribal communities and listened to survivors and their descendants tell of experiences at boarding schools and the often traumatic impact on their lives, culture, language and customs.
Haaland’s agency published the first of two reports investigating the schools in May 2022 and found that roughly 50 percent of the federal Indian boarding schools likely received “support or involvement from a religious institution or organization, including funding, infrastructure, and personnel.” The federal government at times paid religious institutions on a “per capita basis for Indian children” to attend boarding schools run by religious groups, according to Interior’s report.
Many children never made it home. The Interior report’s initial analysis found that more than 500 Indigenous children died at 19 of the federal boarding schools but said that investigators expect the eventual number of deaths to “be in the thousands or tens of thousands.” American Indian historians said many of the children likely died of malnutrition, abuse, tuberculosis or typhoid.
Their parents often received letters long after their deaths. In some instances, families were unable to travel the long distances from their homes to claim the bodies. Many children were buried at cemeteries on or near the boarding schools’ grounds — sometimes in unmarked graves.
A second report from the Interior Department will focus on children who died at the schools and how the institutions were funded. Congress is also considering legislation that would create a commission to investigate the schools’ operations, examine church and government records and locate children’s graves.
“Federal Indian boarding school policies have impacted every Indigenous person I know,” Haaland, the nation’s first Native American to serve as a Cabinet secretary, said in a statement. “Some are survivors, some are descendants, but we all carry this painful legacy in our hearts and the trauma that these policies and these places have inflicted.”
The coalition also plans to release a digital archive of boarding school records later this year, allowing easier access to historians and families still searching for information about their loved ones.
“It’s going to be a paradigm shift so individuals, communities and Native nations will be able to see in a comprehensive, profound way who was responsible for running these schools,” Torres said.
Many tribes have started to investigate what happened to children lost to these schools. Some are finding answers. Tribes and communities in Nebraska, South Dakota and Utah have used ground-penetrating radar to search land surrounding boarding schools for unmarked graves.
At the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania, one of the first federal boarding schools in the United States, the remains of five Native American students found at a cemetery near the school will be disinterred and returned to their families for burial this fall, according to officials from the U.S. Army, which now has a war college on the site. The students died between 1880 and 1910.
In Utah, experts and local tribes using ground-penetrating radar found 12 graves of Indian children in July on the property of the former Panguitch Indian Boarding School, which operated in the early 1900s. They are believed to be from the Paiute and other tribes.
“These children were taken from their families at very young ages, were not permitted to communicate in the only language they had ever known and were forced into manual labor to maintain the facility,” leaders of the Paiute tribes said in a joint statement when the graves were found.
The tribal leaders said, “Our hearts go out to the families of these children as we are left to consider how best to honor and memorialize their suffering.”

@ProfD The black community in the usa will be better when all in it comprehend, that black people have the right to desire away from the usa. Your words remind me of WEB Dubois who spoke ill against Marcus Garvey in court. PRofD, I know black people , Black ados, who left the usa and are happy. You may not realize it, but your words are very limiting, but in a key way. What you have to comprehend is that history doesn't have to have one interpretation. We all know events in history but assessing those events, that doesn't have to be uniform and even though the usa populace is the king of training mass opinion, you have to realize , the history of black people in the usa allows for both a pro + anti usa position. Not one but both. Remember, when the usa was founded black people fought for and against it, simultaneously. So... do what you want of course, but keep trying to push the usa as a homeland to all black DOSers will always fail. Anyone can search history and find evidence that many, sometimes most, black dos forebears never wanted that. @Troy In my comment to you I said But by your own words you asked a computer program built by humans full of biases, which demand imbalance You didn't even ask the same question I did. I didn't speak on white racism. I spoke on racism. But your correct. I comprehend your opinion on race. I am no longer confused to your view on race. I am opposed to it of course. But I do realize going forward in this community, whenever you comment on race , where your arguments come from.

@Pioneer1 That is a hard egg to crack in the usa. Comprehend, outside the nearly terminated native american, the indigenous people, all the other communities in the usa are for the most part, full of liars, who raised their children on lies who raised their children on the lies they were fed by their parents. White europeans killed most of the native american peoples , took their land,but they talk like they did the native american a favor for killing them. Their forebears entire wealth comes from abusing others under the law they constructed but they tell it like the usa made humanity free.Thsi comes from white homes. Black DOSers enslavement to whites predates the usa and has never completely ended by even whte accounts, yet black people talk like we came on the nina and pinta and santamaria and merely was so stupid our modern condition comes from a simple ignorance like we weren't enslaved or abused by whites. Black people act like centuries of enslavement should be reversed in less than a hundred years. That is from our homes. The non white european immigrant community, asians or latin americans or africans or caribbeans of all phenotypes left countries the usa mangled or abuse nad is usually still abusing, but talk about being a citizen of the usa while having pride for the country they left, that most never go back to. These people don't even tell their children the circumstances to why they are leaving, whether they committed crimes or backstabbed or cheated or made enemies. But present themselves as simple good workers looking to join a rainbow country not telling their children the rainbow is founded on blood. So, the majority of homes in the usa are full of liars. Who want to pass negatively. It links all the peoples in the usa, barring the native american. Whites didn't want their children to admit their wealth came from others suffering and embrace the usa as a racial country. Blacks DOSers didn't want their children to assault their enslavers and not allow a connection to the usa to be made. Immigrants didn't want their children to fight against the country that they sacrificed to bring them to and fight against the usa for the country their forebears fled. misinformation is a pillar of most usa homes or discourse or positions or views. The USA will never have a majority of honest people, that requires most people in the usa to end many of their positions. @Troy You have me confused. I admit it. If anyone ask me about racism, in my opinion, through my own definitions, racism is as old as humanity. But, your saying it is only a few hundred years old. Instead of opposing your position. The question is, in your opinion, not mine, when did racism begin? In your opinion, not mine or anything to do with me, what started racism a few hundred years ago? You can't give a blank answer to either of those questions and remain functional to your position.

@Troy no particular or specific accessibility concern.

The real meaning of an “ Uncle Tom “

The real meaning of an “ Uncle Tom “
richardmurray replied to Jeromex's topic in Culture, Race & Economy
You mistitled this post. You do not provide the real meaning of the term "Uncle Tom" You dysfunctionally reinterpret the meaning of the term based on its false use towards you and then claim your interpretation of the term represents some positive or badge of honor to the larger community. -

Treatment of Latino vs Black Illegal Immigrants
richardmurray replied to Pioneer1's topic in Culture, Race & Economy
@Pioneer1 is it strange, meaning foreign or uncommonly, that the usa has policies/laws/implementations of laws or policies that have varying levels of bias based on race? I argue from history , the usa or all of its constituent states from their very infancy upholds and breeds laws that indoctrinate varying biases based on race. All the native american treaties are clearly inequally biased in their form or implementation. Am I wrong? The abortion issue in the usa has inequal bias based on religious race. The issue of immigration problem is it goes into the complicated race of origins which is elemental in the usa, ala the first three, descended of indigenous/enslaved/unwanted You use the word strange. I explain why I think that word is false to use based on usa legal history. Will you support your use of the word strange? -
@Pioneer1 You suggest how the majority in the black community in the usa think during a certain time frame. Only three reasons exist as to why most black humans in the usa would make such a positive, though flawed assumption, to white humans in the usa. 1) Black humans in the usa don't know any history, firstly from their own elders in their bloodline and secondly from history books 2) Black humans in the usa were lied to concerning their history firstly from the older members of their bloodline or secondarily history books. 3) Black humans in the usa are simply fools that believe the best in strangers. My question Pioneer is to you. Am I wrong ? Am I missing a reason? If I am missing a reason please say so. If I am not missing a reason then the issue in my mind is what has to change in black elders communication to new generations to delete as much as possible the thinking you state from happening. @Troy I have questions for you. Why centuries? Based on what you have said about race, shouldn't you have said throughout millennia or all human history? Are you suggesting thousands of years ago, based on your views, race in any of its infinite forms wasn't a problem? I admit I don't see these events as showing a problem with race as much as how race is implemented. But humans always implement race using a bias that by default has to lead and leads to abuses or frictions.

Kamala Harris, first Indian Vice President
richardmurray replied to Jeromex's topic in Culture, Race & Economy
@Jeromex I want to know how you define various racial types and issues. Cause you don't give your definition but your prose makes a lot of suggestions or assumptions. How do you define someone as Black? I rephrase, if you see a stranger in the street, how do you know they are black? Is it phenotype or appearance, perhaps of their skin? Is it when they tell you their geographic ancestry or a geographic ancestry you correctly discern? Is it their style of speech? Is it how they dress? Is it the food they eat? How do you define someone as Indian ? I rephrase, if you see a stanger in the street, how do you know they are indian? Is it phenotype or appearance, perhaps of their skin? Is it when they tell you their geographic ancestry or a geographic ancestry you correctly discern? Is it their style of speech? Is it how they dress? Is it the food they eat? If you define being black or indian on different aspects how do you compare them? You speak of masquerading as black from an indian but shouldn't it be masquerading as african from an indian? India is a place right? How do you define all indian? Some humans in india have chinese ancestry. Are they all indian too? What about europeans born and raised in india, are they all indian? please define all indian? The one point I derived concerning race from your prose is the weakness of non gender based interracial relationships using Kamala Harris or Barrack Obama's genetic parentage as examples. At the end of the day, both Barrack Obama's genetic parents didn't raise him. So I think in his case at least, it is less a condemnation of Black or non Black but a condemnation of interracial relationships. And I argue the problem with interracial relationships in the usa, at the least, is the various races in the human community in the usa are simply antagonistic but said antagonism doesn't have an avenue in public discourse or government while always present
