@ProfD either they didn't think it was worth the attempt to try. or they were satisfied with it,

@Troyhaha good one:) Gi Fi Gi ... for those that do not know see the film school daze to comprehend this joke from 1776 to the 1980s it wasn't a self fufilling prophecy, it was the truth. It being that black business and the greater black community had lesser cause white people made it so, through all sorts of means. With Black communal failure in the usa from 1776 to 1980s < whether violent or nonviolent > after white power's application on black people, in violent or nonviolent forms, black people in the usa have a heritage of communal failure in the usa and developed a culture of individualism. how do you convince a set of individuals that working together will work ? By example. Individuals are willing to do something communal. But, it has to come to something, they want results. Telling them they need to be mentally changed or need to have epiphanies is unfair to the heritage I spoke of, which black people earned through surviving white people in the usa and the british colonies that preceded it. Will I like most black people in the usa to suddenly have an epiphany to communalism? yes. but I comprehend why they don't, all black people comprehend why they don't. We can only convince through example, through results. It isn't enough for a Black person to become president. It isn't enough for Black people to march with slogan'd t-shirts. Black people in the usa, like the native american in all earnest, warrant results to convince them, not talk, not philosophy, not pleading, not hopes, not dreams, not patience. I am 100% certain, results will bring black indiviudals into a communal fold. Outside that, hey will act as individuals in a system controlled by whites.

@Chevdove I don't know. I will not mind knowing lupita nyongo:) But, I will guess. Keannu Reeves said that halle berry wasn't the first choice for the role of zaphira in the john wick movies. but, he said, while not mentioning names, that others <notice the multiple> dropped out after realizing what they will have to go through training wise. What is my point? Lupita Nyongo is not the busiest but she is busy as the MCU universe is behind the scenes entailed. And the "Woman King" film required a training regimen. And I am not certain Lupita could do that while the rest of her work or more importantly wanted to. Outside the other simple fact that some female thespians are not in the mood for where female action is going. Yes, Lupita nyongo has been in action movies in action roles but the woman king is another kind of role. Now, it can be she didn't like thr screenplay which is very common to why thespians don't do films. Lucy Lawless didn't do wonder woman because she didn't like the project warnerbros put forward. Now I repeat what I first said, I don't know. What I offer is a guess absent any proof of anything.

cool and thank you @DaytonFrederick remember to search gdbee in the sites search box to see more of her art work

The problem here is the system in the USA. It is not an accident that amendments are fewer as time has progressed from 1776. AMendments are hard to get to. The 13th and 14th and 15th amendments occurred after an internal war in the USA. It is no accident that the party of andrew jackson looked to the supreme court rulings to create law in the usa. They knew an amendment was never going to happen for affirmative action or abortion or a host of other agendas. To change law in the USA is a challenge.

In my view, female warriors throughout human history prove that males side females, whether adult or child <yes, children have fought wars> , have to fight together to keep any community alive and thriving. In the historical situation, you have a little kingdom, dahomey, that has a caliphate north of it , similar sized kingdoms east or west of it, and will have a dangerous european base south of it. History shows most governments surrounded by governments with larger populace had to use males plus females to survive or thrive. Viola davis used her own money to help finance this work, utilized south africa to do it. So a black person with money, nonviolently financed a venture which gave black people jobs and even shows a Pan African or Pan Black appeal. And the venture was a fictional display of black violence from black women who are working with black men but not subservient. I say gender equality while community building is the theme. I supported the film before it came out in my small but proud way and continue to do so.

@ProfD Your correct , confrontation need not involve bloodshed, though war inevitably demands it...but part of those defeats in the past I talked about was non violent confrontations. From Tulsa to most scenarios in pre war between the states slavery. Consider, the black person enslaved on a plantation has a non violent relationship to whites and yet, was harmed mightily. The defeats I spoke about in the past were not just violent ones. The Black community in Harlem in NYC tried it numerous times before I was born with levels of success. But, all were defeated, and the reason was white power. And, today, many Black people in harlem scoff at Black people speaking about another nonviolent push when it describes something already tried. Are you suggesting the Black populace in the USA can be completely self-sufficient from the white populace in the USA? The fear Black people have in the usa to whites comes from the defeats. I don't think the fear is unwarranted. I am not suggesting I have it. but I can accept Black people who do. It was earned through history. Black people in the USA are willing to do a lot, in my view, but they need to see an example first, and that is the problem with many modern movements in the usa. They offer no proof of betterment. They want faith to something that may not provide any results in your lifetime. I Quote james baldwin, when will it happen, you promised my parents, then me, and now my nieces and nephews. He was referring to Whites who talk of change to blacks. But I argue, Black leaders in the USA have to answer such questions to , in modernity. If someone believes another's ice is colder, then the best way to change their mind is to prove it. But if you can't prove it then how many minds will you change? @Troy I will defend the blacks in the usa who want an armed attack against whites in the usa and say, it will not be suicide. Worse case is it will bring to near extinction blacks in the USA, but not suicide. The problem those blacks had and have is most blacks aren't willing to sacrifice their lives to such a venture. Yes Black people do rate white institutions higher, but do the majority of financially wealthy blacks send their children to spelman ? Do black thespians who are financially safe or profitable or rich rate image awards more than the academy awards? In NYC, the rich black people in the city didn't and don't support the black newspapers with the vigor you speak of. Thus, why should the black fiscally poor think of spelman more than harvard, think of image awards over academy awards, support black media outlets over white ones when the black fiscally rich don't? LEad by example. This is why malcolm organized the nation of islam as he did. he comprehended, telling a fiscally poor man to join you is worthless when you don't show financial betterment yourself.

@ProfD I only want to add, many black people are not ready or willing to go to war against whites. I think many Black people think of war against whites and see the many defeats in the recent past. I will say it isn't unfair from the larger black community to be led by example. A group of black people taking a militaristic stance against whites with success will do a lot to convince Black people the world over that war can be successful.

@Pioneer1 we will get there:) patience:) @Troy not just indoctrination... slavery. Overwhelming most Black people worldwide know slavery is far more than shackles. But I think most Black people in the USA ,unlike Black people in other countries which are majority Black in populace or majority non Black absent any testimony to being multiphenotypical in nature < ala all men are created equal> , have the problem of two choices. a greater black community of the black people in the usa, that needs separation from the usa or the whites in it a usa that has black people interwoven in it, that needs integration in the usa or side the whites in it This is what Garvey to me comprehended, coming from jamaica, which has a population mostly black but is still under the boot of whit english people. He realized Black Americans living on an island with mostly Black Americans couldn't escape the yoke of their enslavement even without legal slavery. His solution was to go somewhere where being black is so common and saturated that a reassertion or rebirth can occur in black groups or black individuals. The problem is, , as he learned in jamaica before he came to the usa. Black Americans want to stay in America. Black people in brazil/colombia/mexico/cuba/trinidad/usa/canada for all the abuse they get from whites near or far, they want these places. In the same way the Zanj or non indigenous Black Asians <for those that don't know indigenous asians of south east asia or australia are black, not african, but black> want to stay in India/bangledesh or similar. YEs, black people have been enslaved the world over by whites, but, rightly or wrongly most of us don't want to leave the places our forebears were enslaved or we are abused. Now, the simple answer to Black Americans or most in the Black global populace to leave the countries of their strife is what whites had in the american continent itself. a place to start fresh , regardless of killing native people or enslaving others. Unfortunately, no new lands exist and yes, the space race is going on. But, barring a new land. Most Blacks miserable in various countries are caught to the two problems stated before. And that started from slavery itself. YEs, the enslaved is indoctrinated to the slave owner, but this is unwilling. And the burden to later generations you can deem an indoctrination but I see it as a burden that Black people as individuals or groups have to settle in their own time. It can't be rushed. It must be dealt with freely. To the internet, it is the same. I always offer Black people to this website but I have accepted it is unfair to demand Black people today to have some grandiose black pride. Ask? yes. want? 100% but it can't be demanded. Cause our indoctrination was demanded in the first place. And besides, like the land we black folks need, it is up to people like me to do more than talk, or suggest. At the end of the day, if I had ten billion dollars and spent all of it on making a city for Black Americans <canada to argentina> somewhere in humanity, it will be done. It may sound unfair, but at the end of the day, what Black people need is someone to give a ton of money to our causes. That will solve things, maybe for not all black folk, but for many. I don't have the money.

Enjoy my create a beast, from a tumblr prompt Single Status Update from 10/10/2022 by richardmurray - AALBC.com’s Discussion Forums Build a beast post https://richardmurrayhumblr.tumblr.com/post/697691205314756608/had-great-fun-i-like-the-concept-that-this-was

@Pioneer1 You ask the question, can the black community in the usa be effectively led by its minority groups similar to the modern usa, regardless of the negative influence of whites, or the absence of blacks who do not want to deal with black minorities? The answer is of course yes. Nothing is impossible but this is delicate. The reason why minority control from the USA to South Africa to Hong Kong tends to fail is the majority has the natural power of more numbers and anytime financial or militaristics situations for the minority in control go negative, the majority naturally forces, even without trying, the situation to change for it. But the delicateness comes from the inability of minority led to actually aid majorities. Hong Kong used to be the sole gateway into china and the people of hong kong, a minority of chinese people in china proper, had power, but the situation changes. hong kong doesn't have that financial power any more so it can't dictate to the majority. Taiwan is the same. CHiang kaishek ran into formosa, and hoped the greater china would fall and he could return. but it never did and taiwan has become a chinese minority that doesn't want to be governed by the chinese majority. So they accept protection by the usa. Which of course comes with many prices. The white majority in south africa controlled South africa completely. but, they had a problem, they couldn't join the ussr system which would take their money away while the usa led system was taxing them for their activities against the black majority. So they buckled, financial warfare, which the usa applied on ussr at the end of the cold war <ugly title for that thing> or russia today in the ukraine war. Now south africa has a collection of minorities running the country, like the usa. But, they can't get anything done. The Black majority , which winnie mandela warned , has become totally disenfranchised with the "usa" model that mandela fronted. The white majority is trying to make a separate country which will destroy mandela's south africa because the first question is, why can't the black majority in south africa have their own country then. The fiscally wealthy blacks/the black church/the white gays, white lesbians/fiscally wealthy whites/ and et cetera combined represent the rulling body in the usa, a set of minorities. but they can't get anything done. They help people who have student debt, but most people by wide margin in the usa never went to college. They want to help immigrants just arriving but the much larger populace of homeless or fiscal poor are simply in an unchainging system. Everything the ruling party does only aids minorities. I get what many see the usa as, what they love about it. I see why so many people in humanity love the usa, what they feared with schrumptf. Humanity is full of impotent and abused minorities who only non violent solution, only solution that can have purpose is escape to the usa, or influence of the usa on their majority. I see clearly. but the weakness in minority control is well documented. Even if a set of minorities come together, nothing is as effective as a sharp majority. That is the lesson of the nazi's . Yes, the nazi's were champions of harming minorities without any restriction. In the usa being white has value but in nazi germany being white wasn't enough, you had to have a specific religion/language/background... the worst environment for minorities. But, the USA has never operated as efficiently as nazi germany. The reason why isn't negative or magic, it is merely the truth. Even if the Black community becomes led by its minorities. Led by an individual principal. Will it be able to act effectively, functionally, efficienly to prove the value of minority acceptance to the majority? Possibly, but delicate and delicateness great enemy is time. even if it succeeds for a while, it is bound to fail.

thank you @Pioneer1 I don't think I say much. Alot of reiteration or common knowledge. What prompted me was my goal when I first got on AALBC that has never changed. I want this site to be a better place for Black people online, as I define them, to interact and act through. I am busy so I don't always have time and I focused on trying to make content. But I realized my goal for AALBC needed me to be better engaged. I know AALBC has a big mountain to climb as big sites have far better resources and pay for high profile members but...

@Troy your point is the key. but I Want to extend beyond Schrumpft and go into the USA itself. One of the problems is the USA people in the USA want isn't the same. Many whites still want the USA that existed before the confederacy or the usa that would had been if the confederacy won. Some people want the usa that never existed. Others do not want the USA of yore or the dream that never existed. A country of over 300 million and growing doesn't have a consensus on what they want the government to be tomorrow.

Reading the comments, I think part of the heritage of the black community in the usa is a communal heritage of being unable to eliminate/lessen/diminish individuals or groups that have minority opinions in the black community. the reasons why are historically obvious... being dominated by whites. But, black people in the usa, have always talked about getting rid of blacks who are not on the team but we never functionally did that, at least in a grand way.

Poem: The Truth To The Green Woman Legend Author: Richard Murray https://www.kobo.com/us/en/audiobook/the-truth-to-the-green-woman-legend

@Chevdovethanks You know where the funds went, to reverends investments which come in three form: stocks and bonds/his car collection/last and potentially not least:) the woman in the red dress in the second isle at the edge, who doesn't seem to be employed.

For kwanzaa in my home, we tend to give each other gifts that are modest, not always in preparation for the apocalypse or of 100% commercialism. We like books. We like eating meals together. Two of the days we give for meals cooked in the house. It isn't something uncommon, the kitchen is used throughout the year. So the simple answer to your question is the gifts as in kwanzaa past. To your next question The same or similar as in kwanaa past. Your following question is a challenge. The problem is, Kwanzaa is not a communal celebration, it is a home celebration. Many black people celebrate kwanzaa in their home, not in the black community. Harlem in NYC has HArlem Wekk, African American Day Parade, Black History Month celebrations at the Schomburg, Kwanzaa time gets symbols or celebrations out but their isn't a festival. That cultural definer. I argue that kwanzaa though meant to be a communal binder has become a symbol of the Black community in the modern USA. in that it is an individual celebration. A celebration in the home. It doesn't have that standard. I know some people who wear expensive kente cloth outfits for each day and have readings. I know some people who simply have a kanar, and that's it. It is an open celebration. I end with, if I had money , I would make a Kwanzaa communal celebration. Someone posted about st patricks day. but people forget st patricks day was originally a religious observance day for the highly catholic irish community. That then became commercialized and very statian and is now areligious as a celebration. KWanzaa didn't come from the Black church in the USA . The Black Church in the USA to my knowledge, any one help me know other, doesn't have any unique days. I think the Black church in the usa could had did better for juneteenth or at least the 13th amendment. It is funny how white churches tend to make celebrations up but black churches talk about orthodoxy. But, Kwanzaa can use with someone with money to make it a grand celebration in some city somewhere.

@anonymous50 to piggy back off of @Pioneer1 the party of abraham lincoln is making small inroads, but I want to state one key point that you don't go into , in my view at least. The population of the usa has a problem. Multiraciality. It may sound crude but the christian fable of babel has governmental value. PEople think of it in terms of many languages but I don't see the lessen in having many languages. the many languages is a cover for the deeper problem,which is, the people wants are not the same. People like to say the usa has division, meaning a split of two, di- the latin for two. but always try to chime in it is a multivision, not a division , in the usa. multi means two or more, not just two. In terms of your assessment to the party of abraham lincoln or andrew jackson, they are both caught in that problem. The populace of the usa can not be dominated by the white - anglo-christian-european descended. YEs, many states in the usa can, but not the entire populace. The USA has the most multiracial populace in humanity but with all its variance that populace still wants results and that means making bridges where none can be made. So, you end up getting the rainbows vote but never being able to provide rain for the rainbows. The populace in the USA is literally making the working cycle of the two major parties of governance in the usa. Neither said party has the members or strategy to satisfy the populace in the usa, but the populace in the usa has in the minor parties no plans or options that are viable as well. so, its a cycle of impotency in the usa.
