  1. The guy is Vernon Jordan, you have heard of him.
  2. @ProfD you said the ethiopians parents wanted him raised to be something else, no, they didn't. they didn't see the value in emphasizing the culture of their forebears. Which ... the funny thing is, the black dos community publicly spoke against black dialects of english, publicly spoke against black spirituality or cultures that black dosers had before the war between the states. Yes, medgar evers name is on buildings throughout the usa while the black community he fought for in mississippi/alabama/lousiana is still suffering, terribly. that is not true, he has been given many accolades by many groups. I have seen him, he has many strangers looking to him. My point is, which you miss for some reason is that the ethiopian wouldn't suffer a sundown town, he would leave. Medgar evers comprehended that a people who learn to immigrate between states, flee from one state in the union to another, move from one state in the union to another, is dysfunctional. A large part of the black populace, fled the south from fear but by doing so, created two minority situations. a minorty populace in the south under a white community used to abusing /killing/enslaving it + a minority populace outside the south under a white community who didn't want them as neighbors [which black people forget, most whites in the north tried their best to stop black people from moving out the south] and who criminalized them as much as possible to deter any betterment.
  3. I am fortunate, I know my parents parents story. I know the partial story of my parents/parents/parents. Charles Blow talks about black people moving back to the south, the article is linked below. But for me he dysfunctionally misses the motivation for most blacks. Yes, black people were and are financially poorer than whites in the usa, but black people fled the south because of whites. I will never forget the fortune of speaking to a family friend who said all the women in his black town was raped by white men, all, and yes, he was high yella. Black people in modernity love to talk about hanging or death or electrocution when it comes to the past. But, while the african american museum has an artwork for the number of hangings, is their enough space for an artwork representing the number of sexual violations by whites to blacks, all gender? IS their enough space for an artwork representing all the limbs whites took off black bodies? If you are a black DOSer and you want to live in the southern states, that is your business, but please refrain from suggesting black people in the past were simply in idyllic towns with the only harm of fiscal poverty about them. You don't need to lie about the past to make a future in spite of the past. And to that end, I said in this community black people in the usa need a party of governance. I emailed Blow my thoughts, his email is in the bottom link below. But, I don't comprehend how black people like him can call on black people to move back into the south and yet have no support for a black party of governance. After all the history in the usa, including obama, black people actually think if they had the majority populace in a state in the union that either donkeys or elephants should be the party that black elected representatives utilize? Seems silly to me. @ProfD plus @Pioneer1 discuss jonathan majors and how black people in government didn't help him.but again, i know of members of the donkeys or elephants in nyc who are non black while also people of color, they don't help their own. AOC isn't lifting the puerto rican community in the bronx. Asian elected officials didn't protect asian business from federal attacks during the covid. The one thing that troubles me is how black people actually think non blacks help their own , in nyc, they do not. And that explains why all the populaces seem , as media states, unconcerned. blacks + non blacks don't engage with the government cause all, ALL, the elected officials, from all the races do nothing. Black people's only flaw is many of us seem to think that non blacks are performing miracles for their communities, when they are not. article https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2549&type=status
  4. @Troy Your 100% correct, i didn't state the number to suggest it was always that way in the history of nyc, from the time of manahatte plus the surrounding land, through new amsterdam to today. And outside the time of the lenape, most people living in manahatta or the surrounding lands that make up modern nyc are immigrants , or not born in the city. I am of the minority:) never was,i guess your not including the time of manahatta or new amsterdam in nyc? cause immigrants caused the destruction of the system the lenape had or the system the dutch had. I can't imagine anyone can say the native american scapegoats white europeans by saying their immigration was never a problem, until now. Was nyc bettered by the first wave irish coming in? Was the white community in nyc bettered by the first wave irish coming in? Was nyc bettered by blacks from the south coming in? Was the black community in nyc bettered by blacks from the south coming in? Was nyc bettered by the italian/irish/german jews coming in? was the white community in nyc bettered by the italian/irish/german jews coming in? Was NYC bettered by the asian community coming in after the immigration act? was the asian community in nyc bettered by the asian community coming in after the immigration act? Regardless of whether anyone says yes or no to any of the eight questions above, positive or negative stories occur always in any situation. But, overall i think the answer is no to each, overall.
  5. @ProfD whomever raised him wanted what most parents want for their children, a happy life. Well, medgar evers had a colleague, some call a friend, who left the deep south to come to nyc. Medgar evers was assassinated/killed by whites, said colleague is still alive, old, a grandfather, has a very nice house, has money, friends and connections with many white europeans or those who are mostly descended from white europeans

    At the end of the war between the states: louisiana, south carolina, mississippi had majority black populaces, but the governments of said states had no black officials. One of the problems with some Black people in the usa is they speak very neutrally when it comes to humanity. Being verbose is a long thing, can be fatiguging, but is usually more descriptive and being more descriptive is needed when you speak of the past in humanity anywhere. The palestinean people had the majority in palestine when the zionist came but the government was completely run by members of the british empire. so... 
    I think a valid question exist. Beyond the law, did the 14th or 15th amendment's make the Black Enslaved or former enslaved citizens? What makes a citizen? is it the law? or is it, the communal context? I argue the history of the native american in the usa+ the black enslaved or descended of enslaved in the usa, refutes the idea that citizenry comes from the law. 
    The authors states tremendous progress for the black populace in what is commonly callted reconstruction in the usa, but i argue that is erroneous. First, most black people in the usa, 90% were still financially dead, no savings, no money, no land, n opportunity to gain financially.  Tremendous progress I thought represented a lifting of a majority in a populace, not a financial stagnation from a majority that never had financial betterment. 
    The biggest problem with Black people in the usa, is the lie we tell ourselves about the commonly called Great Migration, which I call the Black fleeing. Black people flew from the south cause black people were being killed/murdered/incarcerated absent criminal activity/assaulted through the entirey of reconstruction, ask Ida B Wells and flew to the northern cities to be treated better. Most black people did not think they were going to financial betterment outside the south. I wonder where that myth comes from. Yes, some black people sought financial betterment but most wanted away from whitey. 

    The firs thing he said that is truth, Black people always flew back to the south.  But the reason was always simple. Thew white governments of the  exosouth [north or west] was no better than the white governments of the south. Remember, Tulsa, which wasn't majority black like NYC, Chicago, Los ANgeles, had a government that aided in the bombing and looting of the black community in tulsa by the white community. To be blunt, NYC, Chicago, Los ANgeles were not haven cities for blacks, that is a myth. But the fact that they were not is why black people flew back. 

    Now what is missing. Many years ago, during Obama's first campaign I suggested Black people in the usa needed a black party of governance in the usa to focus on places where the populace of black people is largest. He speaks of Black Power in government locally in the southern states but doesn't suggest a black party of governance in said states? why? I always find it strategically silly that any community is unwilling to support organizations strictly to their benefit when they have numerical advantage. 
    Why do the black towns and counties of the south have representatives of andrew jackson or abraham lincoln when both have proven to be useless in being effective to making or administering legal policy to Black benefit.

    This photo is part of the problem. Most black people didn't own a car. This black family is financially the black one percent. This black family is looking for financial betterment but most black people owned nothing. I know for certain. Most Black people fled the south , walking, taking the train, fleeing white violence. But the narrative whites like to hear, ala magical negro is it was a simple financial move. 

     

    Charles M. Blow on reversing the Great Migration
    sunday-morning
    BY CHARLES M. BLOW

    DECEMBER 17, 2023 / 10:25 AM EST / CBS NEWS


    Our commentary is from New York Times columnist Charles M. Blow, whose new HBO documentary "South to Black Power" is now streaming on Max:

    At the end of the Civil War, three Southern states (Louisiana, South Carolina and Mississippi) were majority Black, and others were very close to being so. And during Reconstruction, the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution made Black people citizens and gave Black men the right to vote.

    This led to years of tremendous progress for Black people, in part because of the political power they could now access and wield on the state level.
    But when Reconstruction was allowed to fail and Jim Crow was allowed to rise, that power was stymied. So began more decades of brutal oppression.

    In the early 1910s, Black people began to flee the South for more economic opportunity and the possibility of more social and political inclusion in cities to the North and West. This became known as the Great Migration, and lasted until 1970.

    But nearly as soon as that Great Migration ended, a reverse migration of Black people back to the South began, and that reverse migration – while nowhere near as robust of the original – is still happening today.

    In 2001 I published a book called "The Devil You Know," encouraging even more Black people to join this reverse migration and reclaim the state power that Black people had during Reconstruction. I joined that reverse migration myself, moving from Brooklyn to Atlanta.

    Last year, I set out to make a documentary which road-tested the idea, traveling the country, both North and South, and having people wrestle with this idea of Black power.

    Here are three things I learned from that experience.

    First, Black people are tired of marching and appealing for the existing power structure to treat them fairly.

    Second, young Black voters respond to a power message more than to a message of fear and guilt.

    And third, many of the people I talked to had never truly allowed themselves to consider that there was another path to power that didn't run though other people's remorse, pity, or sense of righteousness.

    I don't know if Black people will heed my call and reestablish their majorities, or near-majorities, in Southern states. But sparking the conversation about the revolutionary possibility of doing so could change the entire conversation about power in this country, in the same way that it has changed me.

    Black Descendent of enslaved leaders guided the majority populace of said people to do what Maher says the palestinean should do. Based on the history of said people my advice is for the palestinean to keep fighting for the river to the sea. Yes, it may lead to a termination of palestineans. But, look at the native american in the usa. Look at the black descended of enslaved in the usa. 
    Two peoples who in overwhelming majority, not all, chose the path Maher suggest the palestinean choose. What did it lead to? 
    Whites in the USA got what they wanted, they got to win a blood feud absent having to kill the rivals in the feud, and then use that as a symbol of usa greatness. The black descended of enslaved plus native american became idolters, mostly ranked by people who are completely infatuated to the culture of those who enslaved them, completely impotent populaces concerning what can only come from collective force, beggers or crawlers in the system designed by rivals in a blood feud. 
    Maher is correct, as someone in this community said to me the same as other black people said many times in earshot in my offline life, the past can not be changed. But, how you plan for the future does not have to suggest the past didn't happen. And that is what Maher truly wants, what the native american of the usa did, what the black descended of the usa did,   for the palestinean people to eat the crow of accepting the system of their opposer and embrace said system. Then they can have a palestinean president of israel. They can have dancing jolly musicals about the fiscally poor palestineans abused by the tyrranical israelis hurting each other for relief. They can mate with israelis and have a bunch of loving palestinean-israeli mulattoes. Yeah, I know what Maher is suggesting to the palestinean. If the palestinean is wise,better for the community to die than to become the native american of the usa.

    Maher on palestineans

    Maher on netanyahu

     

     


    IN AMENDMENT
    The problem with netanyahu is like so many , he is unwilling to embrace the truth of his country,this is what hitler did that many leaders are unwilling to do. Embrace the power and violence of their government as power+ violence. The Statian empire teaches all governments that power must always be wielded as benevolence, this comes from the british imperial tradition that create the usa. But I oppose that, if you are a bully be a bully. You want to push the palestineans out, then simply do it. Trying to suggest you are legal or pure or a good person or some other thing to make a false narrative in a history book or to assuade your descendents of how they got their wealth is to me a true sin. Maher says Israel is powerful , well it is time for israel to embrace that position. And to embrace that the zionist chose this location. If the zionist were wise they would had chosen somewhere in europe but they were not, they assumed they could chose a muslim place and convert it through influence of their big brother who was started the same way, the usa. But they underestimated that not all peoples are the native american + black descended of enslaved who are weak peoples. So the zionist made the bed, the israeli has to live in it, israel will always be the enemy of its neighbors, that is the zionist legacy, netanyahu needs to embrace it and kick the palestinean out and live surrounded by enemies.

    What DAvid Alan Grier said is correct, and in the situation of candy cane lane holds truth but the reason it isn't industry wide must be discussed.  The problem with the narrative is, who owns is irrelevant . Grier says all need to see themselves, and he isn't wrong but black people don't see themselves in media in the usa cause black people don't own the media. Many black people in the usa seem to think not owning sports team, not owning film studios, not owning music labels, not owning car companies, not owning gun manufacturers, not owning cement makers, not owning real estate , not owning mass produce producers[corporate farms], is not a factor. Black people in the usa don't own any industry. That is why Black people are not present as we will like in any industry in the usa. IT is very simple. But the reason black people don't own is because of our history under this government , historically white, that placed us in a negative financial state where whites disallowed us from owning. Yes, starting in the 1980s, it can be said that the black populace in the usa finally was free from the yoke of the whites to grow as individuals BUT it matters when whites in the usa have opportunities to take native american land, when whites have the opportunity to rip natural resources from the earth, when whites have the opportunity to have a gilded age making fortunes for bloodlines off of acts today deemed illegal. MErit isn't unimportant. I am not knocking down merit. But merit isn't more important than opportunity but opportunity in the usa comes from ownership not merit. And ownership in the USA 99% of the time comes from advantage through an ancestor using arms, guns,  or inheriting wealth from an ancestor who used arms, guns. 
    ...
     This situation reflects my point, ownership is more important than merit or equality. eddie mruphy is an owner/a producer and makes the choices, if eddie murphy didn't put grier or someone black as santa that is his choice. My point is ownership is superior to merit. Black culture/storytelling has always been present to support black people feeling apart of anything. And I know cause growing up as a kid I never felt deprived of black presence in media or in any season cause of my parents.

     

    David Alan Grier on Why His Surprise Cameo as Black Santa in ‘Candy Cane Lane’ Reminded Him of ‘Black Panther’
    The film reunited him with his 'Boomerang' collaborators Eddie Murphy and director Reginald Hudlin.


    BY CHRIS GARDNER

    As the Candy Cane Lane premiere red carpet heated up Nov. 28, two publicist elves worked their way down the press line to remind journalists not to spoil the big reveal from the Reginald Hudlin-directed holiday adventure.

    The Prime Video release, penned by Kelly Younger, stars Eddie Murphy as a recently unemployed man on a mission to win his neighborhood’s annual Christmas home decoration contest. The hush-hush surprise happens late in the film when David Alan Grier crash-lands in an ultra-slick sleigh as (the lifted embargo permits us to announce) Black Santa Claus.

    “Reggie called and told me what his idea was and I was overjoyed, man. He let me flow and egged me and Eddie on,” explained Grier of reteaming with Hudlin and Murphy with whom he teamed for the 1992 romantic comedy Boomerang. “That was over 30 years ago and all we talked about were cars, clubs, big houses, like ‘Where y’all going tonight.’ This was different because Eddie is so chill. He has kids, grandkids. He seemed really, really happy.”

    As far as the significance of playing an iconic character as a Black man, Grier said the opportunity reminded him of Black Panther. “When you see yourself represented in movies or stories, it’s an affirmation that you exist, that you belong, and that you’re legitimate. That’s what people forget about to see ourselves, not just us, everybody. There’s room for all of us at the table. This is the first Christmas movie I ever did so it’s got to last a long time.”

    Who knows, there may also be a sequel. Prime Video announced last week that following its debut, Candy Cane Lane quickly became the No. 1 movie worldwide on Prime Video, the most-watched am*zon MGM Studios-produced movie debut ever in the U.S. and among the top 10 worldwide film debuts ever on the service. 

    “The sensational debut of Eddie Murphy’s first-ever Christmas movie, Candy Cane Lane, is a true demonstration of how joyful, family-oriented stories can touch the hearts of viewers around the world,” offered Courtenay Valenti, head of film, streaming, and theatrical at am*zon MGM Studios.

    Grier is also counting his blessings this holiday season. “I’m going to tell you right now, I’m 67 years old. I did not think that my career would be here at my age. I have more work than I can even say yes to. My career is booming and I feel like I finally figured out what I’m doing, so I’m only getting better and better. We’ll see what happens.”

  7. A study recently said that 40% of people who live in nyc were born outside of nyc, that explains the problem, half of the people living in nyc don't know anything about new york city. And this connects to a larger problem, cause that percentage doesn't include people who immigrated from within the usa. To be blunt, my bloodline has lived in nyc for a long time and to those that like NYC in a general sense, this explains the problem with nyc of the past in parallel to nyc of today. People who live outside of NYC come from towns or smaller cities, in the usa or outside of it, or come from big cities that are culturally very different from nyc outside of it, and don't have the comprehension of what NYC was. It is a lesson in the dangers of immigration. When I hear people speak of NYC and talk about fears I realize now, half of those people come from small villages so they are always afraid. Cause coming from small villages or town or cities, like chicago even, you don't comprehend nyc. Los Angeles is the second biggest city in the usa and is a quarter of nyc's populace with significantly more land. I realize that the Black populace in NYC became a populace, not a community with immigration over the past fifty years. I will explain. It isn't that immigrants don't want to be part of communities or automatically hinder or harm communities. That isn't how immigration and sequentially immigrants harm community, in general. I see the issue. when i think about black people from st croix , black people from jamaica, black people from congo, can they really relate off the plane to a black doser? yes, both are black humans, but culturally the subtleties are not the same. Someone in this online forum once said they were most happy about black people from outside the usa entering into the black mold to lessen the influence of descended of enslaved blacks and i comprehended then why, but i wish i could had refuted them with the following recent thought. The time it takes for black immigrant populaces to find a balance to the descended of enslaved has stymied both or definitely hurt any black person trying to strengthen the black populace in the usa.

  10. In my following comment I will use the following terms defined as such people of color - humans who are not of the dual racial category, white european. one of the things i rarely, very rarely, seem to read in posts of this subject is mention of parents. How one is reared matters. and it seems few people of color today seem to realize how most of the fscally better off people of color for centuries raised their children to be white european philes. and that kind of rearing can be maintained through a life when the people your parents raise you to love ar ein control.

  14. You can see the film for free at the folllowing link, doesn't allow embeds. https://www.pbs.org/pov/films/howtohaveanamericanbaby/ MY THOUGHTS AS I WATCHED please tell me someone else watched this, maternity hotel industry in the usa, the 14th amendment is the key legally, but this is a messy thing. Some of these women from china are rich, they simply want their child to be a usa citizen potentially for the college thing. 4.6 billlion dollars from the chinese to the usa economy A chinese said the usa is god's country. A woman said where she is from in Yunnan, China, people starve to death. The funny thing is starvation isn't foreign to the usa, but people outside the usa don't seem to know that. I love how a man from china was shocked when his wife said she wanted a child born in the usa. and i concur to him , china is not somalia, china is not haiti, china is wealtheir than germany. To be blunt, black people in the usa always talk about how you have to figure it out. And the woman who suggested it to her husband, the baby died. The maternity hotel put her in isolation. I want to say Dr. Mo is making a killing. He has a public hustle. 3500 a baby. And he gets 20 broads a month at least. And the traffikers in china 40,000 usa dollars. from someone in china to make this happen. I will love to know how many rich countries populaces are doing this? If you have 40,000 usa in china, and you can afford to give that you are not poor. You crazy though. A chinese woman wanted a checkup for her baby and it is like a penthouse in vegas, but the woman said it right, suddenly you have a ton of chinese women having babies so the price goes up. the hospital wanted 170,000 but lowered it to 10,996.50 for total .They claim the guy selling meth right now is a bad guy. A woman that was a "boss lady" had a husband who divorced her so she had to sell the house she did maternity hotels in the usa. He is leaving her and the child they have together. The woman that lost the baby, she is a mistress. She came from a poor villlage. The guy is older. MY THOUGHTS AFTER WATCHING Most people in the usa or outside of it are financially poor. But for the wealthy who live outside the wealthy white european fold[USA= Western Europe], an imbalanced relationship with the countries they are from exists with the usa. The problem isn't wealth outside the usa, for the wealthy outside the usa, it is the safety net of descendants. I think of Mrs . Parkington. [free to view] https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2371&type=status And I realize through this film, a culture is growing or a heritage has been made, that the wealthy outside the usa have of wanting protection for their next generations. A billionaire in china today, can't guarantee a financial safety net to their forebears of the same quality as in the usa. To rephrase, paris hiltons and the like are less possible in china. Members of the black dos community in the usa who always talk about bootstraps to other black people shall love china then? right?
