@ProfDyes but the reason why all black wealth requires a white approval or cooperation in modernity stems from the past when all but haiti or ethiopia among black countries wasn't controlled by a white empire. so white wealth comes from empire. Black people never talk about empire so...

@ProfD your right, over 150 years since the end of the war between the states, means the black community in the usa had time. But, the problem is the black leadership in the usa has never guided the black community to be communal. Many Black people will say, the NAACP or the panthers or the nation of islam or the black soldiers from World war I or the Garveyites or the Historical Black colleges or the black church all fought for communal strength. but , beyond who financed some of those organizations or their true intention, I argue that all of them, in cheap retrospect, had strategies that could only result in individual growth. I can use the harlem rens of harlem nyc as an example. The black man who financed them, was their owner. But, if he would had succeeded in his goal of the Rens. THey would be an NBA team today. What is the problem? At the end of the day, even though the HArlem Rens played in harlem. The renaissance ballroom, now destroyed, that existed next to the abyssinian baptist church, was owned for most of its history by Black people. Was the best plan for a fiscally rich black person to own a team in the predecessor of the modern NBA, or was it to create a black basketball league side other fiscally rich black people? My point, it isn't merely consumerism. It is the strategy of Black people who are not beholden to white money like the average black person. They historically don't utilize their wealth to empower the black community, they use it to empower themselves, sometimes they succeed, sometimes they fail. but how many of them have plans that actually involve empowering the black community. And the sport world is a prime example. Why are black women not the owners of any WNBA team? why not? are black women in the usa financially unable? the answer is no. but Black women with money didn't seem interested in owning multiple wnba teams. so... that is their choice. but, that choice doesn't empower the black community. @Stefan yeah, sadly, the race of lawyers in the usa has a poor record of warranting trust by fiscally poor people. Every single black athlete that has severed the agent cord did it after they gained money. I don't think that is an accident.

@Delano well, I said ask/demand. The point is not about weakness or strength but strategy. I think history shows from frederick Douglass to today, the Black community in the usa is led by leaders who want to be nonviolent or positively integrate to nonblacks. They guided the black community in the usa to be a community of individuals. the problem is, most black people in the usa did and do not want that and moreover, have not handled what that means. @ProfD one question, can you describe what a liberated black people in the usa look like? I am not refuting your statement, about what will not influence liberation for black people in the usa, but how do you define said liberation? Note I am not asking about the process or the path, I am asking about how you define the end.

@Delano for the record, I am not opposing the Black community in the USA , not the world or another country but the USA , being a set of individuals. But the only problem is, a community of individuals can't then ask/demand for collective or communal strength.

@ProfD you said So, when the athlete is 14 and the agent is hooking them in, giving them and their clan things, cause the parents are flat broke, no bank account, no job, no money, you can accept the agent then but the parents or the player or both together, need to plan to severe later? right? @Stefan you said Can you also include have the money to do it? Agents hook athletes and their clans in as teenagers in the usa, and usally the parents are flat broke. And money matters in the usa.

I will share to those i know who are interested in crypto.

Spinbowlers is a concept I derived out of a deviantart invitational called Three EMoji challenge The characters are in the gallery immediately linked below. The prototype game is afterward, tell me what you think Three EMoji Invitational Gallery HEre are the rules Seven cards are shuffled out, negative six to positive six with two zeros, two RO cards, meaning roll out and one GG card meaning GalaGyro every time you shuffle the shift value goes to zero and five multiple the times you shuffle is taken from the final score every time you shift, the shift value increments and the sum of shifts is taken from your final score shifting changes the position of cards in ashuffle which can be advantageous The bowling starting point influences the final value as the starting point is given a value of seven points if not RO , all positions from the starting position are given nan incremental less value The spinbowl is seven values emitting numbers zero to six. The game is a match game. Seven spinbowl cards matching seven shuffled cards. if a shuffled card is an RO it is an automatic zero points for that space. If a shuffled card is a GG. Fourteen points if the value spinbowled equals the position of the spinbowled card. Seven points otherwise. If a spinbowl card is [0 to 6] and a shuffled card is [-6 to +6] the sum of the cards is taken. if the sum is between or equaling [0 to 6] the value is the sum, else the value is zero. Bowl positions 2|3|4 USe the status line to see what is going on ENjoy First prototype arcade entry

@Delano black people with money have existed in the usa when it was colonies of the british empire. Black people with money are not more profitable than white people with money but have slowly grown , without enslaving or murdering other peoples for their land. The question is, is the goal of the black community ins the usa to have communal strength or to be a collection of individuals?

I can go on a rant about sport agents or media agents, in the music industry or fashion industry for example, and how they destroy people. But, what say you? is it needed? https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=1914&type=status

my pleasure @Troy as always, all the best to AALBC

Happy Mothers Day to all for a little discussion What is your favorite book or do you know of any book written by a Black woman while pregnant?

@ProfD+ @Troy thanks for replying or your dialog.

@Troyno I can't, nor do I get notifications of the spam. If it wasn't for you I will not know.

ahh ok @Troy well thank you first or foremost. I didn't know.

people in NYC owe three year's rent. You are an elected official and your vote is on bill to give those who owe three year's rent money to pay for it, and that is it. Do you say yay or ney? My extended thoughts https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=1903&type=status

@Troy no orkut isn't black owned but I will like to see if a set of aalbc users can work together and develop a community in one of these sites to direct traffic to aalbc . Cool, I know people in brasil, which is where orkut was most popular, and they told me about this. Yes, I know you are working well as owner/administrator. Proud of your work. If Black people can't do well collectively online then offline well..

@Troy ok cool:) My blog hasn't been spammed which of course is the sign of a lack of popularity:) always the village:)

Orkut is being rebooted it seems. what are your thoughts? I admit, if I had money I will try to help aalbc. Money matters in website development. But beyond that... Black e-profiles or e-users... do we use these reboots wisely, what are your thoughts as e citizens? I am not advocating anyone join orkut, but I offer the link as it inspired me to write this post. orkut link

@ProfD is establishing or has established? As he said in the article, he will continue making pictures until someone says he can't . Well, I think like most directors who earn a style label in hollywood history he has a set of actors he likes to work with,

Nope most recent trailer, my thoughts, article https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=1898&type=status

I finished my calligraphic work for mona lisa fixed, enjoy at the following link , a coloring page is linked in the deviantart post if youw ant to color yourself Single Status Update from 04/28/2022 by richardmurray - AALBC.com’s Discussion Forums

@Troy This includes not only forums but pages for folk right? No guest comments anywhere? ... Yeah, how people can not make profiles on some sites is one of the great e-questions. I daresay that the ownership of independent websites, their non corporate nature is part of why people don't. I love aalbc to be honest. I know if I ever become truly popular, that will be the real test with my relationship to this website. But I hope I get a chance to attract many many members one day.

congrats.. it is nice to hear any black people , any age, gender, language, religion, doing things they love
