  1. @Delano I will restate your question, do the needs of leadership change based on the quantity of humans in a group? A common philosophical questions. many answers, none are right or wrong. Speaking specifically to the USA, a country with a multiracial while racially imbalanced populace , the legal argument is clear. The USA legal culture, national culture, states the answer is no. The Declaration of independence of the USA through its content suggest the essence of leadership in humanity has no difference based on quantity of group/time/place. So in the usa, historically from a legal view, the answer to your question is no difference exist in leadership based on quantity of people. Now the declaration also states that leadership must take into consideration the people being led. So to wrap it up, in the legal context of the USA, the type of leader needed does not matter, whether global or to the neighborhood, but the leader must take into consideration the want of the community and whether it is feasible to be in any union with another. So based on the advertised standard in the USA, the type of leader the black community needs in the usa, from sea to shining sea or in your local neighborhood, is the same. But the leader must get results to fit the black communities want. And the question to you then is, what does the black community want, from sea to shinging sea or your local neighborhood?

  2. Do you think STacey Abrams merits the Noble PEace prize? Who does if not her in your opinion? my thoughts are below https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=1833&type=status
  3. @Mel Hopkins I Quote you Multilog, many a record between many, or discussion between many. a log just doesn't have to be between two, a dialog. It can be between seven or fifty six or nine. I assumed a video is where you will discuss.
  4. Name one Black elected official in the USA that earned Black votes by government expenditures or laws they made to exclusive Black communal benefit? I asked cause in NYC some are already taking about elections later this year especially with financial outlooks and I find I always ask the question above , offline or online, and I never get a valid answer. Giving a name isn't enough, you have to list the expenditures to the benefit of black people or laws to the benefit of black people.

  9. Somewhere else online I commented the many I thought of , no rank. I will use the following as my entry. My reason is not for ranking, but it is self contained, it isn't in the context of a feature length film so any of you can watch the whole things. Directed: Oliver Schmitz <a white man> Lead Thespians: Aïssa Maïga side Seydou Boro @Chevdove fatgirlz is a great shout, very uncommon romance on screen in many ways

  15. @Stefan the truth is never evil or good. Humans react to the truth in varying ways. I oppose all of your assertions outside of two: a viciousness does exists in NYC, landlords are kicking people out of homes even after they received some back rent. All I can say to the landlords actions is the consistency in NYC from them, for hundreds of years in that way. If the question is how to stop a centuries old tradition. I offer that pulpit for any to take on. To visciousness , NYC has always been a city of many faults, many problems. The question is, what is to be considered acceptable in financial activity outside of making profit, when an activity is only meant for profit? I offer that pulpit.
  16. lovely art:) will share https://www.mvmediaatl.com/product-page/dark-universe Excerpts at the following https://www.mvmediaatl.com/
  17. Fear and Respect, written and directed by John Singleton, starring SNoop Dogg, the game that was not finished developing. Should BlackGamesElite take a crack at its theme?
  18. great share, I have always wondered how many great franchises in media are owned and literally sat on by big firms cause to use them is either too costly or the firm isn't inteesting in utilizing their fanbase... rampage and psyhunter... I never knew about the john singleton written game starting snoop dogg in production. The question is what about revisiting fear and respect , in black games elite? PHOTOS TO FEAR AND RESPECT:) the video game:) IN AMENDMENT The biggest tragedy to arcade games is midway, the arcade king missed out on connecting the home market to the arcade market. Nintendo/Sega/SOny/ et cetera don't or didn't have as strong an arcade presence. Midway spent millions on developing games that they didn't finish developing. But it never occured to them, with all that money being spent, millions. in the 80s or 90s that they needed to focus on their main market which was the arcade. They needed to develop games that could be played at home but could also be played at the arcade. Like many firms , when they see a new industry they are so focused on being part of the new industry they miss out on focusing on their main business.
  19. interesting, you can connect to a cathode ray tube, very much for the international world. Starts at $40 . They use a faux nintendo shaped base for the system or ports, like an nes mini. They use a faux playstation controller. the systems when you power it on, super nintendo, sega cd, sega 3ds, turbo grafx, odyssey2, neo geo, nintendo hacks, nes, nintendo 64, sega genesis, intellivision, gambe oy bolor, gambe gear, game and watch, famicom disk system, atari , lynx, atari 7800, amstrad, commadore, amiga, all games, sinclair wonderswan, virtual boy, vectrex, and more He tested, playstation portable/dreamcast/ neogeo/neogeo cd/lynx/MAME/Game boy advance/snes/n64/ds/virtual boy/genesis/nes/neogeo pocket color/intellivision/odyssey 2/2600/5200/7800 Shared from MErgirldunne of BlackGamesElite https://mewe.com/i/mergirlwhitedunne
  20. I thought long and hard and I couldn't see a clear winner. I checked my nintendo 3ds that still has a ton of games on it, all played to the hilt:) and I decided Box Boy + Box Girl I never bought the 4th game but I went to the end of all the box boy games on the DS era, and I enjoyed them all very much.
  21. Kurt Zouma is a black athlete. He kicked a cat and made a video of it. Adidas terminated their shoe deal with him. Years before Eden HAzard a white athlete. Kicked a ball boy and he didn't lose his shoe deal. Years before Luis Suarez a mestizo athlete. Achieved multiple incidents of biting another player. He didn't lose his Adidas shoe deal and Adidas publicly stated, I paraphrase, they talked and the player comprehends the standards of adidas. I end my examples that show incongruity. This question I have in this post isn't about the incidents or the actions of adidas. If a firm has the right to maintain or destroy a relationship based on a whim or financial assessment or culture or anything it see fit, I pose the following question. Will the signal of a black owned firm operating in a similar matter, absent any congruency, be the best sign of black empowerment , in a humanity dominated by fiscal capitalism?
  22. @Mel Hopkins I meant for the aalbc author series idea. But, you are not writing anything story based at the moment. the problem is I don't think I have composed anything worth adding to readingblack, I can be wrong. But I joined the group.
  23. @Mel Hopkins great point, exactly, promotion always count, thus my aalbc author series idea. maybe I will go on your lulu, to start this thing rolling with you. IF you are interested. I only bought one book through am*zon, a cool writer, an efriend, recently spirit flew away so I bought his book, i will do reading of his work for free.
  24. @Stefan one problem exists, the point of this post from @Troy is the return of ebony magazine who themselves said is going to have a print form. so, me asking if any print based magazines make money when a magazine is being rebooted with a print form by the admission of its owners is , in my view, common sense. I asked Troy as we were debating the strategies for Ebony to be successful, we were not debating whether anyone was ignorant or stating anyone was ignorant about the modern publishing industry. @ProfD I have on a helmet with a strap
