  1. Warner Bros. Discovery Exploring Overhaul of DC Entertainment EXCLUSIVE: The new owners of all things Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman are exploring an overhaul of DC Entertainment, multiple sources close to the situation told Variety. https://twitter.com/i/events/1514677905246208004 IN AMENDMENT I listened to the new CRO of Warner Bros. Discovery and he said, like Discovery , they will not try to outspend so projects that are not going well will not be continued I think. He didn't mention any names but I am certain the DC universe is in for some layoffs. Batman will be fine, Aquaman will be fine, but I think Wonder woman or Suicide Squad will or Superman are in the chopping block. Thoughts? What Black superheroes, even if written by whites, will you like to see DC tackle in this new era? and name the plot?
  2. For me the issue is the Black communities profiles. I live in NYC and unfortunately, what that means is, whenever a Black person is injured in any violence, a large section of the black community in NYC goes on a pulpit speech tour about the black communities ills, and all to often relates the ills to youth. But in my mind, I can recall quite a few adult Black men who did similar to Frank James in my lifetime, and talking to my clan offline, they second with more examples. The question then is, what is the way in which the Black community can aid the Black Angry, or is that one of the great dysfunctions in the Black community in the usa. Ever since the Black Loyalists at the nacent to the USA , the reality is the Black community in the usa has never created a place for the Black angry, and I think that leads to these situations. Frank James, I don't know him. But I am certain this guy was angry for a long while.
  3. The reason why black people in the usa are unable to act as whites is because of white people, this is a historic as well as modern fact, so joining white organizations in the usa which is dominated throughout its entire history by whites, is a double hindrance.
  4. I don't know if Frank James was the shooter in the subway, but if he was, he offers an interesting query challenge. NYC's black community always had black people in it, who love to suggest a usage of violence is incorrect. The reason why is complicated, it isn't merely about right or wrong. But, one of the juxtaposes between white controlled media of nyc /the black church in the black community of NYC/black employed class in NYC is the idea of gun violence in the Black community as something of youth. The narrative is, the youth must get the violence out of them. But, Frank James is sixty something years old. Frank James was an elder teen in the 1970s. So Frank James is not a Black person who is without a decades long look at the Black community in NYC, in NYS, in the USA and with that a high potential for a very honest while negative appraisal of many things in this area. Many will suggest mental imbalance, as in NYC that is suggested for anyone who is violent. From white media to many or most black homes in NYC, mental dysfunction or imbalance is always the reason behind any violence as if, being violent can not be from a mentally sane person, which of course is a lie.

  6. I repeat The Black community in the USA need an alternative to Black officials from the Party of Andrew Jackson or Abraham Lincoln Brian Benjamin + Clarence Thomas have one thing in common. They represent the one thing that unifies Black government officials,elected or not, they are just poor.
  7. the answer @Delano is peer pressure, we all fall prey to online peer pressure, in my defense, i first learned of this from offline phonecalls:) so we can all get dragged into discussing these things
  8. Historical Black colleges have the ability to have a press if they have the money so... The following is an article about that process from one who has experience. Remember to click, read more to see it https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=1879&type=status
  9. Have any of you been published through, at least, one university press? I wonder especially to Historical Black Colleges, has anyone been published by a press from them. I dare ask, how many of them have a press? The following is an article about that process from one who has experience. Remember to click, read more to see it https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=1879&type=status
  10. @daniellegfny you said you wanted to write a letter in support and you did. ... I said it before in this forum and I repeat. Black individual success is not Black communal success. If I earn one hundred billion dollars, it doesn't mean the Black community has improved or has something. Now if i use fifty billion to finance tuition for Black high school students on a first come first serve basis to Historical Black colleges, the community has. Cause money has been used to support a Black collective institution, HBCU's. Ketanji Brown like Clarence Thomas like BArack Obama are individuals. I concur to none in terms of philosophical governance. But, I wanted all to reach their individual marks. And I expected and expect KEtanji Brown to become a Supreme court judge and to be blunt, I don't care about the merited argument. So, I have little to say in these things cause they are not betterments to the Black community, and I have never valued inspiration like the average black.

  12. Spin Bowlers was thought up as a concept after a deviantart three emoji contest- links are below For the prototype I thought of bowling with spinning objects on an axis only. I didn't embed it like the others in the arcade cause it is a prototype, not a version. This is meant for users to play with it and tell me what you think, what values you used. ANy issues, whatsoever. Well have fun!:) THE PROTOTYPE http://houyhnhnm.github.io/BlackGamesElite/GameRoom/SpinBowlers/index.html THREE EMOJI CONTEST DEVIANTART folder https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/gallery/82421031/three-emoji-s-challenge-2022 Spin Bowlers Snake Blossom Id- https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/Snake-Blossom-id-card-911245998 Pose- https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/Snake-Blossom-three-emoji-911246082 Bowling Move- https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/Snake-Blossom-bowling-gif-911245738 Branch Popper Id- https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/Branch-Popper-id-card-911245502 Pose- https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/Branch-Popper-three-emoji-911245619 Bowling Move- https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/Branch-Popper-bowling-gif-911245334 The Slice Twins Id- https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/The-Slice-Twins-id-card-911246659 Pose- https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/The-Slice-Twins-three-emoji-911246710 Bowling Move- https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/The-Slice-Twins-bowling-gif-911246382 Cover image https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/Spin-Bowlers-cover-image-911245115 Cover Gif https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/Spin-Bowlers-gif-911246265 Snake Blossom coloring page https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/Snake-Blossom-coloring-page-911245814 Branch Popper coloring page https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/Branch-Popper-coloring-page-911245432 The Slive Twins coloring page https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/The-Slice-Twins-coloring-page-911246527
  13. AllI will say to the event, is I don't think it is an issue. To me, I don't see it as important. I think many Black people like to make events bigger than they are based on their own fears or views.
  14. @anonymous50 my life has taught me that many or few or most or least may share a definition to various words or terms with you. All I can say is, I have my own definitions of race, I am glad you shared yours, but no point in debating it. If anything, the key to views on race or subraces like religion/countries/gender is when you are in a position of power how you emit your definition. History proves the people in control of guiding how larger groups define things is the key. If you are able to make a history book and children are reading your book and your view of race is embedded in the language of that book, the children will grow with your racial construct as an idea.

A comedian makes a snide jest to your physical condition as a joke. Regardless of what your significant other does, what do you do? MEN Married black men or girlfriended black men: you are at an award show with your significant other. A comedian makes a snide jest to your significant other's physical condition as a joke. Regardless of what your significant other does, what do you do? Remember, no answer is right or wrong. I just want to know what you will do. Hopefully you can be as honest as possible.
