As I am a known Communalist through my various multilogs in AALBC, it is clear I prefer strong community over strong individuals. Not everybody is going to be strong all the time. But, sharing strength can help the whole group survive storms no individual can handle alone. ... but having said that, the heritage of the Black populace in the usa and the european colonies that preceded it is Nonviolent Individualism. No DOSers from the USA are not like DOSers from Haiti whose heritage is militant communalism. I don't care for nonviolent individualism but I comprehend it is the true heritage of black people in the usa led by DOSers, who are the largest percentage of black people in the usa. Take out the First Peoples of the USA who have their own specific issues with this place, everyone else in the usa never had to deal with enslavement or jim crow to the extent of black people. Not white jews not chinese, not mexicans. All three were abused? yes, 100% but while abused never enslaved, never at the full cruelty of jim crow. So black people in assessing ourselves, must embrace our unique situation first. Black Individualism has limits helping the group but allows black individuals a flexibility which can be useful. URL TO COMMENT https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/11970-what-if-we-focused-on-local-development/#findComment-77177 COMMENT @KENNETH if you want the honey and not the pot, just scroll to my conclusion Idealistically it is a positive thing. But let me use NYC to explain my counter point. Is NYC a black city? no Is NYC a white city? yes does NYC have more disadvantaged communities than any other city in the USA? yes does NYC have disadvantaged white communities? yes, more than any other city in the USA? yes Why can't NYC's white elected officials align with white businesses to aid white communities that are disadvantaged? Because the cost is very high. Aiding the poor is not financially cheap. How does NYC get money every year? the mayor of NYC whomever they are goes to Albany and begs. The federal governments welfare money to states are more vital to every state in the union, including california. But the federal government gives its money to states, not cities, ala when atlanta/detroit/new orleans are any town/village/city that was or is black wants money... they have to beg a white states, thus... What is my point? overall it is very expensive to finance poverty. It requires losing a fortune. Black people with money, correctly, are the least interested in losing money. Remember, the fiscal wealthy Black populace don't come from Indian Killers or Enslavers, they come from enslaved black folk like fiscally poor black people. They are not interested in losing their money. And yes, you have to give up your fortune to improve disadvantaged neighborhoods. Remember andrew carnegie of new york, he gave up his fortune and built many of the libraries that are all over the world, but that wasn't cheap. He needed every penny. Remember in the late eighteen hundreds, circa 1865, the black populace of the usa was denser than ever after, and that is why white people in black states/louisiana/mississippi/south carolina or white people in white states everywhere else, cut open pregnant black women. State power matters in the usa. HArlem Children Zone and the larger field of charter schools had support from the government of NYC and NY state. Remember, most charter schools didn't have to build new buildings, the government allowed most to use buildings they did not buy for repurpose or use public school buildings spaces. That is a financial advantege brought by the government. Second , across all phenotypes most children in NYC, black/non black/ male/female go to public schools. The charter school movement was never about the mass education of any group of children. It was about making another layer for parents who wanted their kids to go to a school like styvesant or bronx science but the seats are filled, so charter schools became a second tier. But remmeber one thing, when a child fails in a charter school, you know where they go... public school. So Canada, whom I ... Canada has said many things but I know the truth. His movement was about a particular sections of parents having their own zone. Now why does this matter? what your talking about isn't about helping a section of the disadvantaged but you want to help a whole disadvantaged community, you have to find actions that actually help a whole disadvantaged community. In the USA those are not easy to find. This like your first is idealistically correct. The problem is, unlike the USA who spent most of the nineteen hundreds revitalizing completely war torn or fiscally mired countries[japan/england/france/germany/spain/portugal /italy/korea/china/mexico /canada ] to gain their allegiance against the soviet union , losing the financial advantage the usa had over all of them. Said countries are not interested in any fiscal deal that will not return something of equal value. Sequentially, the Black DOS populace or even the larger black populace in the usa don't have mineral access, don't have aquaspheres, don't have anything physical to trade with. China gives money throughout afirca/south america/south east asia for minerals/resources. West Africans wealthy pay for high end european goods. DOSers don't have any luxury brand businesses. The Middle Easterners sometimes give for long shots or long term investments, but a welfare line around the world exist to them. As I type this comment, people from every community in humanity are in saudi arabia, qatar , or united arab emirates begging for the oil barons to give them money. I think some DOSers plans may reach them but many want their money. Another Ideal. positive. But I have a little history with this topic in the forum here. You say demand more from so called leaders, being a poor leader, one who doesn't get positive results, doesn't mean your not a leader. But then you want leaders to provide viable solutions. Here is the issue. In the usa no system exist for any voter to demand anything from any elected officials. That is the difference between a parliamentary system and the statian system. In the usa's entire history voting is a gamble. The gamble is, if I vote for you, will want to stay in the position so you will do for the voter, the trick is, I am guaranteeing you a set of time, even if you do nothing for the voter. So, there is no way to demand anything in the usa system. White people don't demand votes. Poor whites don't demand votes. Rich white people buy votes, that isn't even demanding, that is paying for a service. Which black people don't have the money to do. The problem with providing a viable solution is a strategy can only be considered a solution after implementation. No matter how intricate or well spoke a plan, no plan is worth anything until it is implemented. So, I comprehend what your asking, but the legal system in the usa doesn't allow for either. A little history:) of me and one of my solutions,a black party of governance. The Black community in the USA need an alternative to Black officials from the Party of Andrew Jackson or Abraham Lincoln 2022 https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/9211-the-black-community-in-the-usa-need-an-alternative-to-black-officials-from-the-party-of-andrew-jackson-or-abraham-lincoln/ commentary https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=1890&type=status What Blacks haven't done? https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=1929&type=status Immigration on African Americans https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=1941&type=status Black PArty of Governance Post https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=1945&type=status Detroit and the state of a Black Party of Governance https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2124&type=status Black Women and the two main parties of governance in the usa https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2137&type=status The lessons in 1865 not learned https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2549&type=status Shirley Chisholm proved the college of black elected officials isn't serious, that is why she left them https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2571&type=status With the 250 year anniversary of the USA maybe black people should celebrate radically https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2776&type=status Multivisions in parties of governance https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2148&type=status Specific needs https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2238&type=status To 1 , Your correct black people don't live as close together as in the late 1800s , but the reason why isn't self inflicted, remember when you were a kid and they showed black people hanging in jim crow, that wasn't a joke. Black elders to their forever dishonor don't like to admit the reason black people left the south was fear based on white terrorism. It is that simple. And like today, even back then, many black people, DOSers in particular, are unwilling to accept violent action. Jim Crow's purpose was not merely to harm black people but to make our communities suffer at the hands of whites so we would break up. whites succeeded, it is not easy undoing that damage. To 2 + 3 In defense they never have, even in the late 1800s there were black tribes nonviolently fighting each other. And remember when the usa was founded most free blacks fought against, so... the most free, most financially wealthy blacks have always been split in themselves and at some level to the larger populace of black people. I argue the problem today is the nonviolent, self determination mantra black people preached to black people has succeeded, the problem is, it isn't enough to reach certain levels of growth as a populace. Black individualism made the modern usa. Black financial wealth has grown in the usa despite historical financial disadvantages strictly to black people , persistent governmental limits specifically to blacks . That is black individuals fighting. BUT, individualism has limits. I will even be nice and say, the Black people like frederick douglass in the past, hoped, dreamed, that Blac Individualism would carry black people to a day when the greater USA embraced individualism the same way. the two problems are, most whites still enjoy and desire the power one can have access to with communal strength over other communities. And most non Black people of color came late to the party so to speak, so they carry a communal nature from the countries they come from and thus it will take their bloodlines more time to reach the individualism that exist in the white anglo saxon protestant slavemaster/black descendend of enslaved/first peoples commonly called the native american. IN CONCLUSION To municipal power, the quickest idea is to get the fiscally wealthy black to support a campaign of breaking up the states in the union. why? no matter what any city in the usa does, if the state government to the state it is in wants to stall or stop, they can and that is that. I rephrase, if you get a willing black city, and willing black fiscal entrepreneurs, a white state government can use its power to hold up anything in the courts. So, your first idea needs state power. Get the wealthy behind that. To private public pooling, great idea but you need to have a specific goal that actually helps a wide swath of black people. At the end of the day, many of the initiatives that helped black people in the usa from 1865 to today, didn't help a wide array, they helped black people in specific places or with specific means or specific scenarios. When the usa gave native american land to white settlers, the condition of the white settler didn't matter. Find a specific thing that can help across the board of black people. To the money outside the USA, the most common invester will want to see an automatic return of wealth or near term wealth growth. You have to find something that the Black populace in the USA has that can do that. Keep looking you will find it. The best strategy to increase the rate of results in the usa system that maintains the philosophical line of black voters is to emphasize parliamentarianism. Most Black people in the usa are :not radical enough, not anti usa enough, not anti white enough, too pro individual, to accept a Black party of governance. But parliamentarianism is the best solution for your desire to get better results. Make it where the time of voting isn't enough. The reason why both major parties of governance in the usa are filled with do nothings is because the only time of consequence is the voting time. Not the time in office. Make the time in office consequence and it will change the rate of results. You will have opposition but I think it is doable. When you assess the black populace in the usa , never forget, that our timeline isn't whites. Black people were enslaved before during and after independence. IF you look at the usa from a important moments for Black people, 1492 to 1865 is one whole era of enslavement. White people have the french-indian war and independence and war of 1812 but from 1492 to 1865 remember, over 95% of black people in the usa are completely enslaved. Over 95% of black people in the usa from 1492 to 1865 were born, lived and died enslaved. No, house in martha's vineyard, no lincoln hat, no wage, no sailor on a whaling ship. I know you know black history. But one of the problems with black history throughout humanity is the timelines for non blacks we black people consider speaking of ourselves. That means 95% of black people were enslaved for almost 400 years. And what came after the period of enslavement from 1492 to 1865 in Black Statian history? the period of Jim Crow. Now what is Jim Crow? Most will say Jim Crow is segregation, but that isn't true. Segregation is the white view of Jim Crow. The Black view is how long it took for black people to nonviolently integrate with the white populace in the usa. Jim crow is from 1865 to 1980. It took over a hundred years for Black people to nonviolently integrate with whites. Why? that was the black plan. When 1865 hit, a bunch of black church elders made a vote on what to do, cause whites were already killing black people after the war between the states for revenge or to take land or to force to sharecrop or to scare us into fleeing. So black churches new. Black churches, voted on the side of nonviolence. [I am working on finding the names of who voted] Remember at 1865 Black churches were the undisputed black leadership in the usa with a totally devoted populace. And what did black people do while whites guted pregnant black women/made up laws to place black men in prison for life to rebuild the south/placed black children in electric chairs/had black people fight in the spanish american war+world war one + world two all awhile no black person could open a bank account, use the bathroom, use the bus , own land, in 99% of places in the usa/black communities in the cities north and west were completely defunded by white governments/law enforcement agencies throughout the usa made money off of peddling drugs to black people sometimes by force while also making money by putting us in jail for the drugs they dumped into our communities .. black people nonviolently and individually suffered the blows embraced all the insults and pains and inequalities and never hurt white people while kept trying to be part of the systems they didn't want us to. With the help of the soviets, some mistakes in administration by whites, by 1980 Jim Crow was officially a little old man. Not dead, but no longer a major factor in the lives of most black people which is how he started in 1865 with what whites call the nadir of american race relations. Remember Alice was in the 1970s. Now we are in the integration era. Black people collectively or individually survived enslavement from 1492 to 1865 gaining no money no wealth losing many traditions by whip by shackle. Black people's collectives were shattered by Jim Crow from 1865 to 1980 but Blac individualism was able to thrive. Now from 1980 to 2025 and the near term, black people have to catch up to whites who have from 1492 to 1980 a near five hundred year head start on being statian absent any of the financial advantages of stolen land from other human beings or enslavement of other human beings and we have to compete with immigrant populaces including some that are black who are smaller in populace, for example ethiopian americans are 380,000 people far less than the forty million DOSers, so easier to move in fiscal capitalism allowed to pronounce and embrace the cultures they came with whereas DOSers were not allowed in enslavement of jim crow to cherish our cultures publicly. So... yes Black people in the usa today have a high level of individualism, but it isn't for nothing. It is unwarranted. Slavery nor Jim Crow were a joke, and we didn't do it to ourselves, and four hundred years is not going to be undone in forty sorry. Anyone black tell you that is a liar. When you see a nigerian/chinese/white jew say Blacks don't know how to do this or that. Remind them that, Nigerians ancestors were not in the slave boats, nigerians ancestors didn't have to deal with enslavement from 1492 to 1865 nor jim crow from 1865 to 1980. There wasn't a day in british west africa where 95% of Black people were told they couldn't have their culture. Where they had to live chained up. Chinese and white jews were starting businesses from 1492 to 1980 in the usa, in places black people were not allowed or could not. Yes, Black Individualism is high, that is how Black DOSers survived nonviolently. Give ourselves a hand. It wasn't easy.

Economic Corner The Two Economies of the USA have a simple problem. https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/11979-economiccorner024/ IF YOU DONT WANT TO CLICK THE LINK, READ ON One is financially wealthy, always growing fiscal wealth based on arithmetic manipulation plus flexibility supported by the most powerful military in humanity , but also always needing bailouts. Always too big too fail, even though it fails a lot. The other is losing jobs, losing investment,has a balooning populace. But hasn't led to riots, it is holding on to hope. NYC is clearly showing this. Eric Adams a few years ago stated New York City has a bustling economy, job growth is unlike ever before. But, this article admits that for ten years in a row, over one hundred thousand children in New York City were homeless. Now, out of ten million, one hundred thousand is one percent. One percent of the cities populace is homeless. That isn't anything to cry doom for, but every member of said one percent has parents who are not financially able to provide better, which means three percent. Again, no need to cry doom but if the labor market in New York City is so vibrant, then get the parents of the homeless children jobs. But here likes the worse part. I know many in New York City who have what will be called good jobs and they are moving into places because of lotteries. Every single person that gets a lottery can't afford to live in that place on their own financial footing. Then you add adults living with older adults, parents/uncles/et cetera. What is the point? The strategy of building new buildings has never lowered the rent. Freezing the rent doesn't lower the rent. Mamdani who has the lead to be next mayor of New York City + Cuomo or Sliwa trailing him , don't have a financial plan that is viable. I repeat, none of the current candidates for the mayor of NYC have a financial plan that is viable for New York City. So whomever wins will only be adding on to more financial chaos in New York City. In defense this was not built today, it was built in the 1970s. I repeat in the Economic Corner, the following industries in the USA from the 1970s to 2025 completely failed at least once, ledgers were blood red at least once, but not one of these industries at any time went through the proper financial result of industrial failure, which is liquidation and sale of all assets to cover debts and market vacuums to filled by others. Banking Industry Automotive Industry Electronics Industry Real Estate Industry Dot Com Industry Bitcoin Industry Film Industry Offline or online I recall so many times Black people told me , concerning a failing or failed Black owned business, they have to get it together, they got to learn how to play the game. While whole white industries are failing multiple times and getting friendly loans from the federal government. Goldman Sachs failed everybody. That company should be under. The White Jew failed. The Film industry failed, this is why 20th century fox was bought by Disney while paramount side discovery side warner bros are all looking to be bought by a holding firm. That is called failure. Now some will suggest white financial failure is not black financial failure and I argue that gets to the center of my point. Black people in the USA are in an environment, where we haven't enslaved other human beings or murdered other human beings to create generational wealth. Black people in the USA are in an environment were we are telling ourselves to have an inhuman financial ability while non Blacks are literally proving themselves to be terrible at business throughout many sectors but have the saving grace of the federal government to bail them out regardless of their financial quality. So then looking at Black people in the USA who are homeless, how should they look at the USA? at their situation in the USA? When your black neighbor/elder who never had the money to financially support you is telling you about having improper work ethics and a lack of intellect , the non blacks who were born in financial safety or better are destroying entire industries with the ultimate safety neck, backed by the usa military. The word inequal is not enough for this scaling variance. URL https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/education/2025/10/17/more-than-150-000-nyc-students-were-homeless-during-the-last-school-year More than 150,000 NYC students were homeless during last school year BY Jillian Jorgensen New York City PUBLISHED 6:00 AM ET Oct. 20, 2025 More than 154,000 students were homeless at some point during the last school year, continuing a decade-long trend and amounting to one in seven public school students. “This is the tenth year in a row where over 100,000 kids were identified as homeless last school year. This is the first year it was over 150,000 students experiencing homelessness. These numbers obviously are very troubling,” said Jennifer Pringle, project director at Advocates for Children, which compiles the annual data. What You Need To Know For the 10th year, more than 100,000 students were homeless under the federal definition of the word last school year More than 65,000 students spent at least one night during the last school year in a city shelter Those students face barriers to getting an education, including difficulty getting to school and high rates of chronic absenteeism Among those students: 65,000 spent time living in homeless shelters 82,000 were doubled up — sharing someone else’s housing after losing their own 7,000 were living in motels, hotels or otherwise without stable housing “While the city continues to focus on addressing the affordability crisis, the homelessness crisis, we can't lose sight of the educational needs of young people experiencing homelessness now,” Pringle said. Pringle says homeless students face significant barriers to having success in school, and 67% of students in shelters are chronically absent. “That means that 67% of students living in shelters miss more than 10% of the school year. That is roughly a month of school,” she said. Students have a federal right to remain in their school when they become homeless, which can help provide stability at a difficult time. But the city routinely moves children into shelters far from their schools. “Forty percent of families are placed in shelter in a different borough from where they go to school — not just neighborhood, not community school district, different borough. That poses all sorts of challenges for families,” she said. “Long commutes, meaning parents can't work. They can't look for permanent housing because they're busy spending their day, taking their child back and forth to school.” Students are entitled to transportation back to their old school, but many wait weeks for the city to set up busing or endure long commutes to their old schools, leading them to be late or absent. “We hear from families, you know, it's mid-October, who are still waiting for a school bus, still waiting,” she said. Pringle says the next mayor should make these students a priority. “This can't just be: ‘New York City Public Schools, you figure it out.’ It needs to be a multi-agency approach, all working together, laser-focused on how can we ensure better supports for students experiencing homelessness.” An education department spokeswoman pointed to efforts the city has made to better support these students, including more than 350 dedicated staff for supporting students in temporary housing, some based in shelters. “Education is key to breaking the cycle of homelessness, and we will continue to strengthen our trauma-informed, cross-agency and data-driven strategies to help students and families thrive,” the spokeswoman, Chyann Tull, said. A City Hall spokesman said Mayor Eric Adams has been clear that every child deserves a place to call home. “Through tailored support in our schools and innovative programs through our city agencies, we’re working every single day to address homelessness and ensure our students have the resources they need to thrive,” the spokesman said. The Department of Homeless Services says it has been focusing on placing families closer to support systems, and that the city was able to increase the percentage of students currently living in shelters in their youngest child’s school borough to 81% in the last fiscal year. From a parents mouth URL https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/education/2025/10/17/one-family-s-experience-navigating-public-school-while-homeless One family's experience navigating public school while homeless BY Jillian Jorgensen New York City PUBLISHED 8:00 PM ET Oct. 20, 2025 Kezie Thomas knows what life is like for the 65,000 students in city schools who lived in a homeless shelter at some point last year. She watched her daughter live through it as they bounced around the shelter system. “My daughter was like, moved every semester, and it's really messing up her, you know? She's finding it hard to build relationships with friends, you know. She's finding it hard to focus. She is falling asleep because she's tired from the commute, coming home at this hour. After six in the evening and waking up at five in the morning,” she said. What You Need To Know Kezie Thomas now has permanent housing — but when she was living in a shelter, she often faced long commutes to her child's school When she was finally assigned a school bus, the bus was often late or did not show up at all Her child struggled with the frequent moves — but is now doing much better attending a school close to her apartment Last school year, 154,000 students were homeless for at least a night. About 65,000 students spent some amount of time living in a city homeless shelter. Another 82,000 were doubled up, sharing someone else’s housing after losing their own. And 7,000 were living in motels, hotels, or otherwise, without stable housing. Thomas and her family became homeless after a marketing business she ran began to struggle a few years after the pandemic hit, prompting her first to crash with friends and family and ultimately enter shelter. They were often placed in shelters far from her daughter’s school. That prompted Thomas to change her child’s school at least five times over the years she was in and out of shelter. “The final shelter that I stayed at before being placed in permanent housing, it was like an hour and 15 minutes almost to get to her school. And that was a disaster,” she said. At first, Thomas had to bring her older child to school via public transit — with a baby in tow. “I'm doing my best to try to commute to get on the trains for this long hours, raise up the stroller up and down the train, some of the stations don't even have, like, you know, elevators,” she said. Eventually, she was assigned a yellow school bus to bring her to school. But that didn’t solve much. “There [were] many days that the school bus would not show up. They would not even let you know that they're not showing up,” she said. “Then when I finally call into the company, the bus company, they will just take the — create the ticket number, and they'll just do that over and over and over. And you really don't know if they're looking into the problem.” Now, she’s in permanent housing and moved her child one more time -- to a school that’s just four minutes away. “She loves it. For the first time in forever, she says that she loves her friends, she loves the teachers. She's doing well,” Thomas said of her fifth-grader. She says her religious faith is what got her through her time in shelter. And now, she wants to advocate for other women in her position. She also wants the candidates running for mayor to understand what it’s like for families like hers — and to be accountable when the city's systems fail. “When it comes along electoral time, you see the mayor, the government, everybody, you know, they’re campaigning, ‘Vote for me. I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that.' But as soon as that is over, they can't even be reached,’” Thomas said. “These people don't even know what it feels like. I'm pretty sure they don't even know what it feels like.” She described calling the bus company and getting nowhere. “You just deal with whatever happened today, and you just move on. And I think that is very unfair,” she said. “The people that are in shelters, most people think that homeless people are like, you know, bums or they don't have an education or they have nothing going for them. But that's not the case. Everybody hits a break in life, you know, and that's what happened. That's my story, because I'm coming from a background of degrees and running a business and, you know, and it's a humbling moment and having to go through that. It taught me a lot, and it just empowered me even more to educate my daughter.” Prior Edition https://aalbc.com/tc/events/event/562-economic-corner-23/ COMMENTS @ProfD On 10/24/2025 at 1:10 AM, ProfD said: Dr. Frances Cress-Welsing had it right in proselytizing that Black folks should not procreate or marry until they are at least 30 years old. have you or anyone else who follows Welsing asked her the following questions? 1) does she want the black dos population in the usa to get old and die? 2) does she prosyletize to non black dos woman,including black recent immigrant women plus all non black women from wherever: who don't speak english in the usa, are not college educated, on welfare , are not thrity, or have three or better children not to have children fr which NYC has millions? On 10/24/2025 at 1:10 AM, ProfD said: I hope that Black folks will find a way to build wealth despite the handicap of legacy of slavery over four centuries and obstacles built into the system of racism white supremacy. Black people in the usa have nonviolently built wealth in the usa nonviolently having the legacy of enslavement + jim crow forcing most of said wealth to come through individual efforts. The question to you as I ask others in the this forum, is what do you want from the black populace in the usa to be satisfied? I define satisified as a situation where you Profd no longer have a complain to the black populace in the usa. I will ask the specific question at the end of my comment. I asked @Pioneer1 a while back, what will it take for him to be satisfied, meaning the same as you, concerning the issue of illegalities, for Pioneer continually suggest one instance of illegality from one individual in the black populace in the USA is too much and shows urgency. His answer was until the black populace commits no illegalities he will have a complaint. Now Pioneer in my reading has never displayed the same passion to non black or non black doser illegalities in the usa. His variance in approach suggest they are allowables or acceptables to him. So Profd, what will satisfy you financially concerning the black populace or specifically, the black dos populace in the usa? Posted Sunday at 12:23 AM @ProfD well her death is convenient in that sense, but glad she has those who still follow her thinking positively. This is the economic corner, build more isn't a goal. How many more Black businesses do you want to see? The answer can't be infinite, can't be everywhere overwhelming, the USA is not a black country nor are the nonblacks absent the means to harm/destroy black business. If you can't give a count, what about a percentage? What percentage of business in the usa do you need Black business to increase as? What percentage of Black business in the usa do you want to increase to? Present goals. Posted Monday at 04:38 AM @ProfD On 10/26/2025 at 7:54 AM, ProfD said: Words of wisdom do not die. and lies tend to live at the fountain of youth On 10/26/2025 at 7:54 AM, ProfD said: Black financial institutions can extend favorable lines of credit to Black start-up businesses in every major Black cities around the country. Once successful, we can diversify into other types of businesses too i.e. investments. I see your goal now. At the moment, in 2025 more black investment firms exist than in decades past, maybe in the history of the usa , or the european colonies preceding so from a mere growth perspective black owned financial instutitions are growing, are greater in quantity now than ever before. So, your goal is for the current growth of black owned financial instutitions: investment firms, credit unions, banks, to expand ... at a rate never known in the history of the usa...

Economic Corner 23 Sanae Takaichi becomes Nippons first female prime minister Oct 21st 2025 https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/11978-economiccorner023/ IF YOU DONT WANT TO CLICK THE LINK, READ ON My Thoughts I don't know much and I asked those in the Japanese internet their thoughts. But what is known... Nippon/Japan has a lot of issues. Japan does not need population growth overall but in sectors it does. A number of businesses in agriculture for example, lack a next generation. Japan like korea or Taiwan/Formosa sits in the unenviable position of between the two biggest militaristic powers in modern/as of this writing humanity. She says she wants to increase Nippons militaristic position as well as its financial position. Well, in what way? Everyone wants to walk the road to gold, but do you have a map, do you have shoes, do you have a way of finding the road or is it just walking aimlessly? Yeah, another elected official in humanity in a government deemed important in many sources has a president that mirrors the ways of Schrumpft. Yeah. This is again, not an error, this is a result of the USA's cold war victory playing out. When the United States of America won the cold war, it didn't do what it should had and that was reorganize the global order it made, instead it maintained said order. But said order was based on having an enemy, a militaristic + financial opponent, the soviet union. Absent an opponent calling out the lies in the usa, having a viable arms race, why maintain a global system of dysfunctional immigration laws/dysfunctional hiring practices/dysfunctional financial markets. Since the cold war ended, the dot com industrial crash/ the real estate industrial crash /the banking industry crash / the automotive industrial crash/various bitcoin crashes. All this points to a financial reality. The larger canvas is financially poor or desperate and it isn't the fault of so called Artificial Intelligence, it isn't the fault of laziness, it isn't the fault of capitalism , it is the fault of poor governance. Governance matters, it isn't economics, it isn't finance, but it matters and it isn't about finance. One of the problems in modernity is the view that money /finance controls government. No, government controls government. Like the congress of the USA who has ceded powers to the president of the USA for over one hundred years, the elected officials in the USA have ceded governing responsibility to the fiscal entrepreneurs. The arrangement is simple. We keep you alive and allow you to act freely and you fix your issues. The problem is the assumption the fiscal entrepreneurs are that smart or that purposed. Nippon automakers literally took jobs away from their own labor market to have the right to sell cars in the USA. That is why Japanese cars are made in the USA, so they have the right to be sold in the USA. That was a terrible decision. Japan who once led the world in electronics, who supposedly had the best education system, [Remember Black folk when you were a kid of a certain age and someone chimed in about Japanese kids?] are not leading today? Is that because the Japanese weren't the smartest? Or is it because the government + business owners management hurt them in the same way , the USA's government plus business owners actions led to the weakening of the electronics industry of the USA compared to others. Her three predecessors had a year each. That wasn't an accident. Nippon has problems. They can't be willed away with a firm stance. She has alot of governing to do and unlike the USA , Japan's parliamentary system means she has to get results now, she can't give herself time to rest and plan out through a term. URL https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/sanae-takaichi-becomes-japans-first-female-prime-minister/ar-AA1ORG86?ocid=BingNewsSerp Sanae Takaichi becomes Japan's first female prime minister Story by Arata Yamamoto TOKYO — Lawmakers in Japan elected hardline conservative Sanae Takaichi as prime minister on Tuesday, making her the first woman in modern times to lead the key U.S. ally. Takaichi, 64, the new leader of the governing Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), was elected by lawmakers in the lower house of parliament by a vote of 237-149 over her closest rival, Yoshihiko Noda, leader of the liberal opposition Constitutional Democratic Party. She was also elected by upper house lawmakers in a second vote of 125-46 after falling one vote shy of a majority in the first round. Though her election is a milestone in a country where women are severely underrepresented in government, Takaichi enters office with a fragile coalition and facing a number of pressing challenges, including a visit next week by President Donald Trump. A protege of assassinated former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Takaichi advocates a stronger military, tougher immigration policies and the revision of Japan’s pacifist constitution. She is a veteran politician who has served as minister of economic security, internal affairs and gender equality. Earlier this month Takaichi was elected leader of the LDP, which has governed Japan almost uninterrupted since World War II, after running unsuccessfully in 2021 and 2024. Her ascension to prime minister was thrown into doubt, however, after a crucial partner, the centrist party Komeito, left the LDP coalition. To ensure her victory, the LDP signed a deal on Monday with the Osaka-based Japan Innovation Party, or Ishin, that will pull its coalition further to the right. Even with the alliance, Takaichi faces an uphill battle in parliament, where she falls short of a majority in both houses after the LDP suffered major losses in recent elections amid voter anger over party corruption scandals and the rising cost of living. “She emerges from this a diminished leader from the get-go,” said Jeff Kingston, a professor of Asian studies and history at Temple University’s Japan campus. Takaichi also faces an early test next week with the arrival of Trump, who is making his first trip to Asia since returning to office. He is expected to visit Malaysia and Japan before continuing on to South Korea, which is hosting a major summit of Asia-Pacific economies. “She doesn’t have a whole lot of time to get ready for a slew of diplomatic activity,” Kingston said. “But I think job one is the Japanese economy.” Arata Yamamoto reported from Tokyo, and Jennifer Jett from Hong Kong.

Like her mentor, Shinzo Abe, she is expected to lead Japan to the right. By Javier C. Hernández Javier C. Hernández went to Nara Prefecture to trace Sanae Takaichi’s rise to power, interviewing classmates, supporters and acquaintances. Published Oct. 21, 2025 Updated Oct. 23, 2025, 10:49 a.m. ET Leer en español As a young woman in the late 1970s, Sanae Takaichi commuted six hours a day by bus and train from her parents’ home in western Japan to attend university. She was a fan of heavy metal music and Kawasaki motorcycles who yearned to move out. But her mother insisted at first that she stay home, forbidding her from living in a boardinghouse before marriage. “I dreamed of having my own castle,” Ms. Takaichi wrote in a 1992 memoir. On Tuesday, Ms. Takaichi won election as Japan’s prime minister, the first woman to do so in the nation’s history. It was the pinnacle of an improbable rise in politics and a milestone in a country where women have long struggled for influence. Ms. Takaichi, 64, who grew up near the ancient Japanese capital of Nara, defies easy labels. She once spoke bluntly about the challenges of working in politics as a woman in Japan, yet she is now the leader of the traditionalist, male-dominated Liberal Democratic Party. She has expressed concern about Japan’s reliance on the United States, but has also said she hopes to work closely with President Trump. She is an amateur drummer who idolizes bands like Iron Maiden and Deep Purple, yet she also wears blue suits to pay homage to her other hero, the former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher. Ms. Takaichi, a protégée of Shinzo Abe, Japan’s longest-serving prime minister, who was assassinated in 2022, is expected to move Japan farther to the right, responding to a recent populist wave that bears some similarities to Mr. Trump’s MAGA movement. She has embraced hawkish policies on China; pushed the message that “Japan is back”; played down Japan’s atrocities during World War II; and promised to more strictly regulate immigration and tourism. “She wants to make Japan strong and prosperous for the people of Japan and for the world,” said Yoshiko Sakurai, a prominent journalist and activist who has supported Ms. Takaichi. “She is open to the outside world. But she also understands that we have to be really good Japanese. We have to know our own culture, traditions, philosophy and history.” Ms. Takaichi will face her biggest test yet as she deals with fresh uncertainty about Japan’s military and economic alliance with the United States. She is expected to meet next week in Tokyo with Mr. Trump, who has rattled Japanese officials with tariffs and suggestions that the country should pay more for the presence of American troops in the region. While many Japanese politicians come from wealthy, elite circles, Ms. Takaichi grew up in humble circumstances in Nara Prefecture, an area teeming with temples, shrines, dense forests and rolling green hills. Her mother worked for the police department, and her father worked at a car parts maker. Motoko Shimada, a childhood friend of Ms. Takaichi’s, recalled her pigtailed classmate sharing homemade onigiri, or rice balls, and rolled omelets with students who had forgotten their lunchboxes on a school trip. “She was very smiley and very reserved,” Ms. Shimada said. “She didn’t have this strong-woman image. But she was able to notice when someone was not blending in well or struggling, and she was able to help them.” From a young age, Ms. Takaichi seemed aware of the pressures facing Japanese women. Her mother told her to be a “crimson rose,” Ms. Takaichi recalled in a 2024 biography by Eiji Ohshita, asking her to “retain feminine grace while possessing the thorns to confront wrongdoing.” Her parents pressured her to attend Kobe University, a state school about 50 miles northwest of her hometown, even though she had won admission to elite private institutions in Tokyo. They felt their daughter did not need a university education because she was a girl, Ms. Takaichi has said in interviews, and they wanted to save up to support her younger brother. (Ms. Takaichi declined, through a representative, to be interviewed for this article.) After graduation, Ms. Takaichi attended the Matsushita Institute of Government and Management, a renowned training ground for young politicians and business leaders. In the late 1980s, she took an interest in the United States, Japan’s chief economic competitor at the time, securing an internship in the office of former Rep. Patricia Schroeder of Colorado, a Democrat and ardent feminist. Ms. Takaichi had been moved by Ms. Schroeder’s tearful speech in 1987 announcing she would not run for president. Ms. Takaichi sent Ms. Schroeder a telegram, encouraging her to run again someday and offering her help. In Washington, Ms. Takaichi was an energetic presence, peppering aides with questions about the inner workings of Congress and American foreign policy — and developing a love of peanut butter. There was no hint of her conservative views on defense or social issues at the time, said Andrea Camp, a former aide to Ms. Schroeder. When she returned to Japan, Ms. Takaichi worked as an author and a television personality, developing a reputation as a pugnacious debater. In 1993, she began her political career, winning election to Parliament as an independent from Nara on a platform of political reform. Her father put his retirement savings toward her campaign. In the Diet, Japan’s Parliament, Ms. Takaichi soon discovered the isolation of being a woman in politics. Her male colleagues were sometimes dismissive, she recalled, and they often conducted business at saunas and social clubs, where it wasn’t feasible to meet with female lawmakers. “It’s really difficult for a woman to meet a man one-on-one,” she told The Associated Press in 1993. “People are watching, and I don’t want some strange scandal being invented. We can’t use the hours after 5 p.m.” During her early years in Parliament, she forged an enduring alliance with Mr. Abe, a lawmaker from an elite family with a nationalistic worldview. The two found common ground on issues like increasing military spending and adding a more patriotic tone to history textbooks. When Mr. Abe was elected to his first stint as prime minister in 2006, he appointed Ms. Takaichi to his cabinet, making her one of the most visible women in Japanese politics. He reappointed her in 2012, at the beginning of his second term, which lasted eight years. She became a fierce defender of his policies, including efforts to revise Japan’s Constitution to unfetter its military after decades of postwar pacifism, and his economic program, which emphasized cheap cash and government stimulus efforts. Ms. Takaichi tried to persuade Mr. Abe to run again in 2021, but he declined. When she entered the race, he threw his support behind her. “Ms. Takaichi is the true star of the conservatives,” Mr. Abe said at the time. She lost that race and fell short in another bid in 2024. When Mr. Abe was assassinated outside a train station in Nara, while giving a stump speech, Ms. Takaichi was devastated. She said at the time that she had “never felt so physically and mentally down.” “I have to work very hard from today,” she wrote on social media, “otherwise I’d have to apologize to him.” PHOTO Ms. Takaichi with Shinzo Abe, left, in 2014. The two found common ground on issues like increasing military spending and revising Japan’s textbooks to provide a more nationalistic view of World War II.Credit...Toru Hanai/Reuters When Shigeru Ishiba announced in September that he would resign as prime minister, after a series of embarrassing electoral defeats for the L.D.P., Ms. Takaichi raised her hand again to lead her party. She beat four men, riding a wave of support among rank-and-file party members with a message about turning people’s “anxieties into hope.” As her profile has risen, Ms. Takaichi’s private life has come under scrutiny. She married Taku Yamamoto, another L.D.P. politician, in 2004. They divorced in 2017 — Ms. Takaichi has said that the couple had heated political arguments at home — before remarrying in 2021. That time, Mr. Yamamoto took Ms. Takaichi’s surname, a rare gesture in Japan’s patriarchal culture. In Kashihara City in Nara, Ms. Takaichi’s hometown, which has a population of about 125,000, her friends and supporters have celebrated her ascent, praying for her success at local temples and sending white orchids to her district office. Nara has featured prominently in her political life. During the recent campaign, she accused tourists of kicking the cherished deer of Nara Park. She drew criticism for the remark, which some saw as xenophobic. Yukitoshi Arai, Ms. Takaichi’s former hairdresser in Nara, helped pioneer the cropped hairstyle that she has made famous. He said he wanted her eyes and ears to be visible to show that she was seeing and hearing the people she met. He said he felt that Ms. Takaichi retained the qualities of people from the Kansai region in central Japan: humor and humility. He once gave her a bottle of shampoo that Ms. Thatcher was said to have liked while visiting Tokyo. “I don’t think she’s an ‘iron lady,’” he said, referring to a nickname given by the British media to Ms. Thatcher. “Her vibe is that of a Kansai woman.” After her victory this month in the L.D.P.’s leadership election, Mr. Arai texted his former client to remind her to take care of herself. Ms. Takaichi responded two days later. “The battle begins now,” she wrote. Kiuko Notoya contributed reporting from Nara Prefecture and Hisako Ueno from Tokyo. Javier C.

What historical evidence do you have/suggest of any country that is subservient to another, like Nippon to the USA, having a leader who served successfully the interest of the subservient country + the master country? Posted Monday at 04:18 AM @ProfD I can't recall any moment in my life where any one voted for an elected official and they got what they wanted... in my eyes, they get what they settle for, that isn't what you want. Posted Monday at 01:38 PM @ProfD in the usa the voters, black nonblack or other, have never demanded anything. the system doesn't allow for voters to demand anything. The parliamentary system allows voters to demand, because the vote isn't the be all end all. In a parliamentary system, majorities are made by various voting blocks through parties of governance, and the second something goes against a voting block, they leave the majority, and if large enough, that will force a revoting. The USA system is built on faith, not demand. The voters are placing someone based on faith in the usa. thus why so few across the board in the usa vote. which elected officials in the usa warrants faith in their actions? oddly enough, the schrumpt people will say schrumpt and I argue, letting honesty overcome my negative bias to him, the argument can be made. Obama + Biden both as presidents arguably had more willing to put faith in them but didn't reward anyone's faith , thus schrumpft came after both. Locally, this is the problem with NYC. It has had from Koch to MAmdani, eight terms of elephant mayors , four terms of donkey mayors. Elephant mayors focus on specific groups, catering to the wealthy harder. Donkeys try to cater to the larger masses. But the problem is, providing for the larger masses is hard. NYC has been mismanaged for a very long time, so the damage is not little and doing for all is... not a little task, thus every single donkey mayor when they leave office is under a sorrow, why? cause the people who voted for them are never satisfied, cause the faith is never rewarded. the elephant mayors, focus on the rich , upper and lower rich, who are all colors/genders/religions/et cetera in nyc . the masses know this and absent alternative, don't vote. None of the above, it is a real thing. I can tell you value voting very highly, but the system in the usa isn't built for voting to have value and the proof is in recent history as much as the past. from sea to shining sea. The reason Schrumpt took over the republican party wasn't because of black people. it was white elected officials failings. And while money does aid elected officials getting elected, look at all the nepotisms in the usa government today. Many of these people come from money, the issue is their quality as people. They aren't really in government to government, they are in it, because it is one of the best labor markets in the usa today. Far safer than fiscal firms. You can be a senator for life, and all you have to do, is talk and play the media game well every four years. That is the usa system. I Don't know what country you seem to think the usa is. the marches in the 1960s wasn't from the act of voting, that was called advocacy , that isnt' the same thing. How can you vote your interest when your interest can't be guaranteed in the usa system through voting? And yes, fiscal operators strong enough influence, but that is a very expensive game. The two major parties work in the billions. Posted 15 hours ago @ProfD On 10/27/2025 at 4:55 PM, ProfD said: If voters formed blocks, they could make demands of politicians. The system is good at keeping it from happening. Voting blocks have never demanded anything in the usa, that is a myth/lie. Voting blocks rarely exist as well ,the use of voting blocks as some grand strategy is a myth/lie. Now if I am wrong give me an example in usa history? On 10/27/2025 at 4:55 PM, ProfD said: What gave you that impression? because of your choice of words or usage of voting as an action On 10/27/2025 at 4:55 PM, ProfD said: POTUS OJ built his MAGA following by promising he would do certain things...primarily make America hyper-white nationalist. Of course, white folks in the opposition party benefit too. That's why they don't really do anything to stop POTUS OJ. I remember exactly what schrumpft did to build his following and none of it was specific promises or claiming to make the usa hyper white nationalist. His built his movement by blindsiding the party of abraham lincoln POAL, and in the primary did two things: 1) called everyone else in government , POAL or party of andrew jackson POAJ a liar, which is a functional truth. for decades both POAL+ POAJ members from federal to city council lie, he called them all out. They both do nothing and blame the complexities of government or each other which is a lie, government is not complex and the two parties as many have said did have a symbiotic relationship pre schrumpft. 2) he said he would shake things up. He never promised anything specific and when he faced hillary clinton he continued the same strategy against the POAL field in the POAL primary. He called her a liar based on her record or the record of the POAJ and said the same old same old, will lead to the same place, which is historically true in the past sixty years in the usa from the time of schrumpfts first election. I don't think schrumpft has ever done anything to make the USA hyper white nationalist. I Live in NYC it isn't hyper white nationalist. It is a city poorly run, which has a city council mostly made of women i think ... and soon to have another first time category of mayor in mamdani. When he campaigned against harris, it was the same thing, harris is incompetent and do you want to go back to the old stuff , and he won handily. But remember was it Schrumpft who led the harlem empowerment zone that didn't empower at all the majoirty populace in harlem at that time, black people? no it was the clintons /charlie rangel/inez dickens/and a bunch of other black elected officials to harlem. Was it schrumpft who was the attorney general of california and aided in putting black men in prison with negative uneven policies, no it was kamala harris. Was it schrumpts who used trillions of dollars for making computer chips in new york state as the center of a plan to supposedly help all of the usa, no it was biden. Was it schrumpt who forgave the entire begging banking industry included goldman sachs whose supposed to be such a brainiac financial firm with an welfare check absent demands? no that was Bush jr +Obama. Well in the schrumpf era, what I have noticed isn't people benefitting staying in government it is people leaving, between the POAL+ POAJ I argue the exodus from people representing both parties is the only constant. The hawks+ fiscal conservatives+ religious folk+ libertarians+reform party in the POAL are gone, they have been replaced by schumpfts folk. while the representatives of the POAJ in the bureaurcracy have made e huge exodus from USAID to the CDC to many other places where the POAJ has expanded the bureaucracy with their people. On 10/27/2025 at 4:55 PM, ProfD said: Sure. FBA/ADOS want full access to their birth-rights. I am fortunate enough to have talked to various black people in the community older than me, who were actually there, they never said what you said. I have never heard any of them speak of birth rights. many of them are dead, but none spoke of birth rights. They spoke of rights. The language they used suggest to me it was less an statian/american thing than a human thing. On 10/27/2025 at 4:55 PM, ProfD said: Black folks have accesss to billions collectively. You know the rest. yeah I do, i also know that no populace in the usa, including the white jew has ever pooled their money like that, so I ponder why the black populace in the usa should be the first? Posted just now @ProfD 5 hours ago, ProfD said: There's a huge number of poor people in the USA. If they formed a block and made demands, I believe it would be effective. It would be effective in getting someone elected, 100% , but it would not be effective in demanding anything once their elected. That is the issue. Remember, George Washington, white man, first president, owner of blacks, a majority of whites, poor or rich, wanted him to be king. He could had, but he chose to term limit himself. he did that, it wasn't the voting blocks desire, and that sets the tone in the usa ever after, once elected you are free to do what you want. Which means you are free to listen to others, you are free to work for the voting base that got you elected.... but, you are also free to listen to no one, you are also free to work against the voting base that got you elected COUGH BLACK ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES 5 hours ago, ProfD said: OK. I've never specifcally typed that voting accomplishes anything. even point, I made myself an ass 5 hours ago, ProfD said: From MAGA (hyper-white nationalism) to deporting illegal immigrants to reducing federal government to fighting crime were promises made. Yes, in the course of things he did BUT the base wasn't those things. That is my point. Schrumpt didn't start with those things. He used Rush Limbaughs podcast/radio method. LEt the audience tell you want to rant. Schrumpft started with only two things: everyone in government is a liar, and I will shake things up. Then ,as the supporters showed thier old great granfathers confederacy flag he added, white nationalism, as they got on twitter about speaking spanish, got to rid of the immigrants, and defunding the government had many supporters in various fields of his early supports. He is resounding, and I am not suggesting he didn't make promises, but that wasn't how he started this thing I Argue Schrumpft is mimicking, even in hand gestures, william shatner from the intruder. The difference is, schrumpft, has modern telecommunications as well as a legacy of failure from the elephants or donkeys to make it easier. In the 1950s 1960s many whites in rural areas still believed the elected officials would do for them, but by 2025, many of those same whites don't feel the people in government have done for them or their parents or grandparents. Which is hnest. WHite people in the countryside have been begging for a return to the farms, a strengthening of manufacturing before either of us was born, did it happen? Now I comprehend all the stated reasons but again, that doesn't deny it didn't happen but was continually promised. SO this meant while shatner's character falls, Schrumpts had and has it very easy. but like shatner all he is doing is resounding. That is the key to the strategy from getting elected to podcast, just resonate the anger of the people absent doing anything about it or having any sort of plan or solution. the rest does itself. the peoples anger only grows and other people who refute the anger, don't have solutions but create a cyclical banter complaining about other complaining. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Intruder_(1962_film) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hudN_0yQ7dg 5 hours ago, ProfD said: The MAGA movement is code for it. 5 hours ago, ProfD said: Here's a newsflash for you...NYC does not represent the pulse of the USA. The Big Apple likes to believe it's a big deal...it's not. your not comprehending my point. Your correct, The USA is way bigger than NYC, your correct... but the USA is way bigger than MAGA too. Schrumpft isn't making the usa hyper white nationalist, hyper white nationalist merely exist in the usa, it isn't the same thing. And what does this culminate tooo,... regionalisty. My point for mentioning NYC is regionality, not some sort of centrism. The USA has many regions, a country of three hundred million plus people has many regions. MAGA isn't strong or noticeable everywhere, maybe where you are, even enough, but not everywhere. 5 hours ago, ProfD said: Semantics. FBA/ADOS folks want their birth-rights. by semantics are you suggesting an implication not verbally stated by many black people older than you are I? well... I am not trying to change your mind to anything, I admit that again cause I see in our dialogs I border on prosyletization. But I can't suggest what people don't say. I have never been a fan of the suggestion of overuse of coded language. And maybe I don't comprehend what you mean by birth rights, but for me, it is just rights. 5 hours ago, ProfD said: I know Jews received a windfall of money post-holocaust. Israel receives a chunky allowance from the USA every year too. Still, research how much Jews own and the amount of wealth it has generated. Jews aren't going broke through gross consumerism. Their churches are not raising billions of dollars just to enrich the pastors and his flunkies. FBA/ADOS should pool their money because whenever white folks decide to pull the rug from underneath paying for their labor...many of our people will be worse off. Expand I also know that white jews are a very tiny populace of the white populace in the usa, I also know that all the tiny populaces in the usa's various demographics are more financially successful than the largers. white jews are more financially successful than the white italisn or white germans/poor white trash or white irish. But white jews are also far smaller. I know that black ethiopians are more financially successful than black DOSers but again, far smaller populace. I know that white japanese are more financially successful than white chinese, but again, far smaller populace. all larger populaces in any demographic in the usa are financially negative compared to a smaller populace in that same demographic. White people have already pulled the rug for paying for white labor, that is how schrumpft won... you keep suggesting a secret alliance among whites that doesn't exist in modernity. The reason being is the unity of the past among whites relied on blocking access to wealth. But BLack DOSers while sacrificing alot of our communities or lives or goals or dreams using nonviolence to integrate to whites, with the help of the soviet union calling the usa out and gaining international traction, successfully got whites in the usa to share wealth and once that happened, white power as it was had problems. which has led to today. White people in all white towns all over the usa have only known white power and fear integration with the nonwhite, fear sharing of wealth with the nonwhite, fear fiscal competition with the non white all because they comprehend correclty, that all of said fears will lead to greater chances of fiscal poverty. Black people, especially DOSers are used to fiscal poverty ala from its ultimate form being enslaved, we don't get scared at the same rates being fiscally poor like whites. Schrumpft uses this. And that is how the pro anti jewish battle in the white populace in the usa has grown. The judeochristian union started in the 1960s based on the idea of a pan white identity in the usa, which suit, white women/white latinos like blanco puerto ricans/white asians like han chinese who all used the 1960s to grow their wealth in the white mold BUT, it also meant non white financial growth and then the corporations , many with wealthy white jews in administration started moving jobs outside the usa, and the rest is history.

It isn't that I object to it, I just feel it is the wrong adjective as applied to the films I do , cause horror to me is say a film like the godfather or anything to do with war which is real and can happen and unfortunately no doubt will happen again sometime but the films that dear Christopher lee and I do are really fantasy and I think fantasy is a better better adjective. I don't object to the term horror , just the wrong adjective. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bh96B1zJ1FA Full Text 0:05 peter cushing you're known to pretty 0:08 well everyone in this country for your 0:09 roles in horror films but horror isn't a 0:12 term you like isn't it isn't a diet a 0:15 good I just feel it's the wrong 0:17 adjective as applied to the films I do 0:20 because harder to me is say a film like 0:23 The Godfather or anything to do with war 0:26 which is real can happen unfortunately 0:27 no doubt what happened again sometime 0:30 but the fill the deer Christopher Lee 0:33 and I do oh really 0:34 fantasy and I think fantasy is a better 0:36 better attitude I don't protect to the 0:38 term hard does the wrong adjective I 0:40 like fantasy films but they're fairly 0:42 recent part of your career how did you 0:44 start out in the acting profession how 0:47 long have we got 0:49 well I did started wedding the carnal 0:54 theater in those days was run by by Bill 0:59 Fraser it became so famous of what's 1:01 famous now that I think he's he became 1:05 nationwide now and when he played in 1:07 Bootsy and snatch but I was in an office 1:10 before that I was in the coastal 1:12 entirely urban district council offices 1:14 as a surveyors assistant was my title 1:18 but I was really nothing more than a 1:19 glorified office boy did you enjoy I 1:21 don't attend the I suppose so really 1:25 well yeah I wasn't cut out for off his 1:28 life at all I'd always wanted to be an 1:30 actor right from when I used to watch 1:32 Tom Mix and dates tommix believe is the 1:35 sort of John Wayne of nine 1:44 you 1:46 [Music] Video

My Answer I can't speak for all and I know all black people don't hate talking about colorism. so I will answer with the following... the past-the speech, present-absent concern over future or past, future- how to solve... the past is simple, talking about colorism is black people talking about black people . But from early 1500s to late 1970s I argue Black people in the usa were not free from white oppression enough to feel free to talk about ourselves among ourselves. before 1865 this was absolutely true and between sharecropping/prisons/experimentations/criminal labor environments after 1865 it took over one hundred years to nonviolently overcome that. So, from my view a majority of black people have only been free in the usa from 1980. the present- in the year 2025 what/who is stopping a black person from talking to another black person about colorism outside their self? no one outside working hours. Many labors tend to have rules on what employees discuss. So whatever the reason today, the why any black person isn't allowed to talk about colorism among other black people are primarily themselves. For those black people who hate talking about colorism, they either have bad experiences talking about it and shy away, or dislike the topic and don't want to. the future- Black people from home to home have to rear black children to speak on internal communal issues, like colorism. second parents and black adults need to make sure black children hear them talking about colorism or other issues in the black populace in the usa, positively or at least absent vitriol. When we adults argue wildly in front of children we teach them a bad method for communicating when topics are unpleasant or not easy momentswithmani Original Poster Thank you for your contribution. I just find it weird because black men will gaslight black women when we are the most vocal about colorism, due to misogynoir playing a role in their privilege. Black men will view colorism as a preference + claim it’s “all about character”, when that same energy isn’t given to darker skinned black women and we either end up waiting years and decades to be chosen, get divorced from our partners, or we never get married. I rarely see representation of darker skinned black women with a black man who looks like them and they were together till death does them part. my reply @momentswithmani yeah and with so many negative actons to darker skin in our community world wide, a hard nut to crack url https://www.tumblr.com/momentswithmani/785069567140659200/why-do-black-people-hate-talking-about-colorism?source=share

the black superhero paradox https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYzQdGuirRY MY COMMENT nice video:) One thing is that the black populace in the usa has survived mostly nonviolently/law abidingly/self incriminatingly through a lot of white violence/oppresion/terrorism to be more financially profitable today and that helps black creators. At the end of the day, the artist of any populace are mostly funded by the populace themselves. IN AMENDMENT Well, here is my problem with your argument. Did black people start with eisner's interpretation and other white artist interpretation? For me, the black superhero is only defined by black creators and I have a problem with black people who seem very willing to treat white interpretations of black people as valid. I don't care that white people viewing depictions of black people by white artist see a negative interpretation of black people. The question in my mind is, why do black people care when white people see negative depictions of black people by white artist? ... you talk about not isolating other communities while focusing on uplifting the black community but what you really mean is not isolating white readers. And I argue, if a white writer is making a black character, that black character isn't designed for black readers and if a black writer is making a white character, that white character isn't designed for white readers. Again the problem here is the idea of universalism. We humans are all one and the same, we do not exist, humans are not the same, communities are not the same and what is better for one community is not mandatorily better for another. ... 12:56 Dubois is correct but here is the problem. The maker of the youtube video, most black or white artist publicly state they are not propogandist and if anything publicly despise the notion of being a propogandist. The positive phenotypical integrationist zeal among those in the black or non black populaces in the usa is based on the idea that some non propaganda ideal is possible. ... 14:22 exactly ... 14:53 love Milestone 17:08 exactly, the reality is, black created comics must be financed by black people but black people just didn't have the money but do now but just rely on your own ... 22:18 ok, if go woke go broke isn't true, what is it that the woke artist who made money did correct financially that the woke artist who didn't make money did incorrectly financially Was Bitter Root being image not DC or Marvel matter? Was Bitter Root simply better written or drawn than other comics? Was Bitter Root wiser in genre choices?

THE United States Postal Service 2025 https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/11975-economiccorner022/ IF YOU DONT WANT TO CLICK THE LINK, READ ON United States Postal Service 2025 The United States Postal Service in the USA compared to other models you can't compare denmark to canada. yes, denmark is getting rid of letter shipping. but postnord has a functional monopoly on the postal service in scandanavia denmark/sweden/finland and another. And by postnord's admission, they are ending letters, not mail. mail is letters+ packages. packages are on the rise. letters are on the decline, not mail though, and this is part of the argument in the usa or canada, that mail has risen, not in letters but in packages , and to be blunt, the post office should had been where the internet was designed through. the internet literally uses addresses but the people implementing it never though to go through the post office. Government officials biggest flaw is when they don't make functional laws that forsee problems. Lyndon B Johnson's speech on the immigration act is why in 2025 immigration is the issue it is. I quote Lyndon B Johnson October 03, 1965 speaking on the just passed Immigration Act of 1965. "It does not affect the lives of millions. It will not reshape the structure of our daily lives, or really add importantly to either our wealth or our power. Yet it is still one of the most important acts of this Congress and of this administration. For it does repair a very deep and painful flaw in the fabric of American justice. It corrects a cruel and enduring wrong in the conduct of the American Nation." What? Allowing millions of hungry or fiscally poor people to enter any human populace under any government is going to affect the lives of everyone in said populace. It will reshape the lives of everyone in said populace. It will add, in white peoples case it did, or diminish, in Black descended of enslaved's case it did, their fiscal wealth or power. In 2025 the immigrant populace herded into the usa has never corrected any wrongs in the usa, but has added more by their existence. Now, in 2025, who has the answers to all the various desires in all the various races in the usa? Immigration Act speech https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2785&type=status Kerner Commission https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2685&type=status The Post office should never had competition. I quote the brookings report, for it mirrors what I have said time and again. "First, we highlight how market forces and the postal service’s obligation to provide quality nationwide mail service at uniform rates contribute to the financial challenges faced by the postal service." Read the primary mission statement of the United States postal service "The Postal Service shall have as its basic function the obligation to provide postal services to bind the Nation together through the personal, educational, literary, and business correspondence of the people. It shall provide prompt, reliable, and efficient services to patrons in all areas and shall render postal services to all communities. (39 U.S. Code, Section 101)" The problem with postal services is that they are at heart, socialist or communist entities. That mission statement says nothing about financial profit. It is all about having a federal system that can cut through any boundaries to reach any and all peoples in the usa. The idea is, everyone who has a home can get mail: letters+packages+ other. It is a equal system. The problem is , fiscally wealthy people, usually whites, have always wanted to take the profitable sector of the postal industry. And that imbalance is the heart of the problem. "FedEx reported $35 billion in debt in 2024. USPS also already faces considerable competition from private companies, such as am*zon, FedEx, and UPS, in delivery of its competitive—and profitable—products, such as parcels." But it started with UPS. UPS was started as a specialty delivery service in 1907. Not faster but more secure than the postal service. FedEx was started in 1971 for urgent shipping. Way faster for businesses. UPS and FedEx have never been about sending mail to a town of ten people. It has never been about letters to santa claus from fiscally poor children. support https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckg8jllq283o support https://www.brookings.edu/articles/return-to-sender-what-privatization-might-mean-for-the-future-of-the-usps/ in amendment potentially, the tragedy of post offices is they serve an important function, they allow populaces under any government the ability to community absent electricity. This is why nearly every country with a certain level of wealth has a post office. The problem is, government officials in most governments in humanity whether elected or not, don't make functional laws. They make philosophical or fiscally lobbied laws. Both of which do one thing, kick problems down the road. When the road ends, all that is left is some form of chaos because the decades or centuries to actually do something that is financially or organizationally feasible has passed. referral https://discord.com/channels/1238281346833715283/1238654689097289828/1425878435011629066 Prior Edition https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/11653-economiccorner021/ COMMENTARIES @profd I have questions to you By your studying, when did the "system of capitalism" begin in humanity? I noticed in past dialogs you use that to refer it as a power over the government of the usa, maybe over humanity? am I wrong that you referred as i said? In your assessment, do other systems besides fiscal capitalism have competition? and what are the other systems? URL https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/11975-economiccorner022/#findComment-77152 IN AMENDMENT @ProfD made statements so I replied outside continuity This is his opening statement. So what are the questions automatically? Is he suggesting other systems humans have employed are bereft of competition? If so , he is wrong. If not, then why mention this? Competition isn't the issue, quality is. Two people can always play chess, but in certain game rooms one can not sit across another unless they have achieved a certain quality. In this case, The post office of the usa was made to sit across private firms whose qualities were negative in comparison. Yes, they are competitors but it is like someone who has been playing chess for over fifty years sitting across from someone who never even heard of the game chess. Yes, the private firms will get stronger like any person just starting a game will, but the superior competitor, in this case, the post office, will get weaker against such opposition by default. Cause the opposition doesn't offer a challenge except long term. Now, this means the government allowed a dysfunctional competition. This is a lie. This was Tesla's entire point. Edison and Westinghouse simply wanted to use technology for financial profit, but Tesla wanted to not only make technology but guide its use. It is not hard at all to guide the use of technology to positive ends. What is hard is blockading financially greedy from using technology absent concern of its use for financial profit, and abset that concern creates environments of abuse + misuse. I lived to see programming become potent enough to be deemed artificial intelligence, in no way is this era hard to predict. The problem is the usa has a system of slavery which is designed to make profit regardless of the condition of others, and in such a system, the use of programming power has been abused + misused while making money. Is he suggesting technological change requires new firms? if so , that has no basis in truth. The train is still the most efficient transportation system even with the automotive or aeroplane markets subsidies. BAsed on what he said, so far in his argument, automotives + aeroplanes should be more efficient. Why did they require something different? And even if they did, why did that demand an allowance for private companies. In my eyes, his equation doesn't add up. If the post office needed a branch for faster delivery or larger packages, why couldn't the government develop a service within the post office for that? what he is saying is the government of the usa, which had and has many engineers in it, couldn't develop a system for quicker delivery to the needs of financially above average customers? I wonder how many believe that? I don't see why fiscal capitalism has anything to do with this. He is suggesting that fiscal capitalism as implemented in the usa can't tell businesses not to compete against a government agency? if that was true, the us military would have competition now. Cause war is very profitable. But... I want to say, in cheap hindsight he is correct. But why do I say cheap hindsight, because his point misses as in the other sections of his argument the governments role in all of this. Government is designed to govern, not make money, not make war, not make peace, not share wealth, but to govern. The truth is, the problem with this issue is the people in the usa government are not engineers. Most of the people in the usa government have one of four educational backgrounds: lawyers/business administration/soldiers/doctors. But what is the problem? IS it education? no. Being educated isn't a reflection of what one is experienced in studying. Being educated is a measure of knowledge through experience. Now similar to the personal computer and the internet is the car and the automotive roads or the train and the train tracks. They each drastically changed how people in the usa communicate, store data. So let's look at the four educational backgrounds concerning : the transcontinental railroad(s) whose parts are still in use, the highway system with elements like Route 66, the interstate which is still being added to and deleted the use of route 66 o other parts of the highway system. What are lawyers experienced in studying? the law and the processes of legal environments. In what arenas do lawyers experience help or hurt in government? Lawyers are helpful in matters of the law, its adherence. Lawyers are best to uncover an aspect of a law that will coincide with another law, thus making legal loopholes or collisions. That is helpful. Important tool to preserve the strength of the law. But, doesn't clean up the law. Lawyers are hurtful in matters where criminal or dysfunctional activity can occur through the law. Let's relate: what experience do lawyers have in implementing transcontinental railroads, highway systems, interstate highway systems, or electronic internets. Do they have experience making trains or cars or computers? no. So, maybe the implementation of these technologies would had been better if the elected officials were not dysfunctional. Next , what are business administrators experienced in studying? using accountancy or counting, making averages, developing statistics. In what arenas do business administrators experience help or hurt in government? Business administrators help in assessing numbers around a laws use. Making statistics. That is helpful. Important tool of guidance. But terrible for implementation. Business administrators are hurtful in functionalizing holistic solutions, averages or statistics by default are designed to accept negligibilites. But efficient law can't do that. Let's relate. What experience to business administrators have in implementing transcontinental railrods, highway systems, interstate highway systems, or electronic internets? Do they have experience crafting trains cars or computers? no. the people who craft said items or craft the machines that craft said items are engineers or craftspeople. So , maybe the implementation of these technologies would had been better if the elected officials were not dysfunctional. Next , what are soldiers experienced in studying? weapons management+ tactics on mock fields of battle+ coordination with other human beings. In what arenas do soldiers experience help or hurt in government? Soldiers are great in war, preparing for war, preparing other human beings for war. That is helpful. But too often not great for peace. Soldiers are hurtful comprehending libertarian/ not the usa school of governing though but the word use sense as in free thought. The law always allows potential for free thoughts or actions and soldiers are poorly suited to see or react to that or implement sight or reaction into the law. Let's relate. What experience do soldiers have in implementing transcontinental railroads, highway systems, interstate highway systems or electronic internets? They may have done it for the militaries needs. But do they have experience implementing said systems for a use outside the military? rarely. Do they have experience crating trains cars or computers for non militaristic use? no. The people who craft said items for nonmilitaristic use are not soldiers usually. Usually disdain the chain of command culture. So maybe the implementation of these technologies would had been better if the elected officials were more accustomed. Next, what are doctors experienced in studying? individual and collective illness+ remedies+ measures of health. In what arenas do doctors experience help or hurt in government? Doctors are best in assessing potential damage to health or symptoms of illness. That is helpful. But doctors can be too rigid to their findings. The health of an individual or group doesn't have to mirror what any study suggest and that dissimilarity can lead to worse health for an individual or group, that is the essence of medical malpractice. Let's relates. What experience do doctors have in implementing transcontinental railroads, highway systems, interstate highway systems or electronic internets? no. Do they have experience crafting trains cars or computers? no. Too often engineers develop the doctors tools with input from the doctor. The point? engineers are better suited in government cause they prefer action not laws, and are used to building/destroying/rebooting systems. Their great weakness unlike the others is their flexibility. Where the lawyer wants to maintain the law, the engineer says lets consider what the law doesn't handle. Where the business administrator wants to calculate the influence of the law, the engineer wants to design the law to handle all potential situations. Where the soldier wants the law to be implemented , the engineer questions if the law is needed. Where the doctor is measuring the risk of health, the engineer is focused on the purpose.

Machine Stories is about my view towards machines/robots/programs/true artificial intelligence/androids. How they exist from their own truth and align to humans in various settings. I think of lot of fiction assumes the machine is merely a metal mirror to humanity and I oppose that position. A prequel was this stageplay. It isn't a machine story but the machine character was one of the initiators of this path. https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/Onto-the-53rd-Annual-President-s-Play-950123510 The five works are Trilog Nativity- Three machines each with a common logical pursuit are about a nursery of machines https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/Trilog-Nativity-1139317762 Steps To The Heart - A machines desire for a rare logical pursuit involves a human man https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/Steps-To-The-Heart-1255316447 It's a Wonderful Future- A solitary machine embracing its species evolution. https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/It-s-a-Wonderful-Future-1255317599 A Dialog Of Extrasolence- A machine protects humanity from itself https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/A-Dialog-Of-Extrasolence-1255318839 The Asteroid of Dr Makup- In a remote place a test awaits for humanity https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/The-Asteroid-of-Dr-Makup-1255323268
