8:50 the old spide brother brother:) that is like the mayhem guy in john wick

12:04 palatable is the right word zenobia

14:04 good point, lou gossett wasn't allowed to be meaner than danny glover

17:48 didi it being a musical lead to some miscastings or some time taken away from some characters?

19:56 her, meaning taraji p henson, issue was the money, the producers

20:48 steven speilberg was part of the production, has the color purple joined immitation of life as one of those films whose remakes are schism amongs fans

25:40 couldn't find the young lady, wish her the best though

comments to American Fiction

 

3:32 white people in modernity don't run to read ulysses from joyce or war and peace from tolstoy. The books monk was writing were boring. The modern audience rightly or wrongly, like an overabundence of drama

8:10 good point

10:36 sterling k brown, from pastor to plastic

16:35 this film wasn't the kind of film that can get a wide release, black panther is the kind.

 

At the following place

https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/american-fiction-movie-ending-explained

they ask the following

Was he trying to imply that as creatives, no matter our best intentions or moral code, we are all slaves to capitalism, and that our work will inevitably bend the knee to the almighty dollar? Did he mean to stress that within a white supremacist media context, Blackness will always be commodified for the masses? Was Jefferson pointing out the hypocrisy of bourgeois Black elite spaces and the futility of intraracial classism? Is the entire film a metaphor for the insidious nature of anti-Blackness and how we as Black people often perpetuate it without even knowing?

 

It isn't artist's work that bends the knee but artist themselves for the work comes from the imagination of the artists and it is the imagination of the artist that becomes flooded with the desires from the financiers from the needs in another section of the artist mind.

And, artists are free to not let those financial concerns manipulate their imagination, and some artists do that. We hear their tales of fiscally impoverished geniuses like a Zora Neale Hurston or Phillip K Dick or Poe or Van Gogh.

Well, in a fiscal capitalist media context, all cultural aspects will be commodified . Birth of a Nation is not what the fiscally poor white southerner's journey at the end of the war between the states was. Outside the fact the film lies about the black populace, it isn't a truth teller to the white. The truth is, the leadership in the confederacy was split on the goals and destinations and the side that got to implement miscalculated terribly, so much so that, the south which was the financial breadbasket of the usa is the fiscally poorest region in the usa today and whose black or white populaces at the time of the end of the war between the states have both been harmed long term with the results of that war.

I don't know if any group is above judgement, but the urban black financial elite have always existed in the usa, ala solomon northrup and always led their lives with a faith in the system in the usa that is historically misplaced. Financial racism commonly called classism in the usa has always been prophesied by some blacks as the aphenotypical racism that will lead to a betterment. I can't say it is futile as much as, what is the goal? the assumption by many in the usa , not most I think, is that aphenotypical financial racism will lead to aphenotypical activity , but that mentality misses that the purely fiscal nature of fiscal capitalism is not concerned with changing behavior from aphenotypical to phenotypical or from phenotypical to aphenotypical .

Does the film transfer the heritage of anti blackness in the usa into a film? Do Black people perpetuate anti blackness ignorantly? The heritage aspect is the only part of any of the questions that I feel doesn't warrant questioning. I will question the second part. Black people have never been ignorant to anti blackness in the usa, never. The problem is, in the embrace of nonviolence which most black people in the mid 1900s to now in the usa exhibit, the power in situations is always with whites, because when someone is violent towards you but you chose to be nonviolent towards them, you have no way to get them to change so sooner or later the violent actor wins, and that is the source of the perpetuation of sameness concerning anti blackness that continues in the usa. Violence isn't evil. but it is a tool, that can be useful. Now to the first part of the last question. Anti blackness in the usa has always been holistic, pervasive, synonomous with slavery. The film displays that slavery as an institution, one human being forcing another human being to act, is quite strong and though it is not as crude as the whip of the past, is definitely active and arguably less dodgeable

Now the answer to all the questions is honestly maybe, but I provide my thoughts to the questions themselves.

The Color Purple 2023

 

 

 

@Delano well remember the heritage of the usa, financially, is Genocie+ slavery. Many people in the usa think of genocide or slavery from the perspective of physical pain or violence but not the financial systems which are about a minority getting access to great fiscal wealth at the detriment to the lifetime of other peoples + control or abuse with the harshest penalty to those who fight against it or the most overwhelming power against those trying to do other. That financial heritage often gets lost when people talk of genocide or slavery in the usa. The financial heritage of the genocide to the native american and the enslavement to the blacks has never abetted or lessened.  

 

It's funny, years ago i heard about the federal government program in some city northwest that gives money to people for living. That is the answer. If the usa can give money to people to live, absent worry , that will allow a constant flow of consumption. as the publicly traded markets will not be hindered but helped. this will mean, content creation will continue online for free , as people will be free. 

Just a guess to the future

@Troy

Does the information resonate or not?  Do you care about the subject, why or why not?  Do I make a compelling case, or is it mostly boring 

 

My thoughts as I listened?

 

4:26 exactly, I was asked similarly by folks. All to often one of the earlier phases of the internet was advertised , falsely, as a auto revenue stream forgetting the truth behind, brands/customer outreach/internet markets

 

6:18 march 1998 aalbc's intro, i didn't know

 

7:50 you are not alone many leave nyc to lower overhead:) but the rent or food keep raising

 

9:36 truth, if the government under Clinton was ranked by those who were engineers who solve prolbems not lawyers who get commission no matter what, maybe the internet would had been guided to aid brick and mortar but instead it was guided to favor the highest financial powers who are far from brick and mortar

 

10:48 yes, searching in the largest library has to be selective and sequentially, positively or negatively biased to this or that

 

13:43 good history lesson for those who don't know about search engines ways

 

14:27 your correct about google but beyond that, the wealth of the internet, the wealth in its activity, has always been and will continue to be a place for financial manipulative activity. 

 

18:53 it is funny how china has such a large populace and their entire internet is manicured highly. 

 

19:47 thank you for saying that, I keep telling people the internet is not free but many, many don't seem to comprehend this, maybe especially in the usa.

 

21:11 well, I will say the design of the internet in itself is the problem. IT isn't the tool it is the engineering of it. The beetle is still a great car. Volkswagon , as a publicly traded firm has remade the beetle three times in worse forms than its original, but why? volkswagon is a publicly traded firm whose stockholders can't accept positive financial stability. The internet is poorly structured

 

27:09 clear history on aalbc's and black owned newspapers websites. I do wonder why you guys didn't attach to the non english internet. 

 

29;15 yes, AALBC is a business but it has a personal or communal aspect you love. And I argue, the internet is full of people who have lesser spheres of influence that is surviving. 

 

33:08 I disagree, I think some computer engineers predicted the internet had problems but I do concur about the silo aspect of the internet 

 

36:08 

Yeah, I have seen countless people in my personal life offline who are die hard users of computer programs that have the algorithmic finess/memory capacity/speed of calculation to aid in human activity, falsely called AI. The ability to do for another is not a sign of intelligence. 

 

37:28 yes, the usa historically has always flooded technology into the marketplace and just let human imagination plus perserverance figure it out. I honestly don't feel frightened by the modern capability of computer systems

 

39:32 The questioner said something I find many black people say all the time to all technology, I Can hear the influence of frederick douglass. Learn how to use the tool better, faster. The funny thing about the entire culture of learning how to use faster, better is that culture is at its heart individual. It isn't communal. In all humanity, a minority , a one percent, always master some tool faster or better than the remaining ninety nine percent. But that has never truly made the community better and as troy said, which i always say, nothing is free. The modern capabilities of computers does not reach all in humanity, even in the usa itself. What people call AI does not reach everywhere in humanity, it simply is taking over the activity of many , maybe most, in the wealthier parts of humanity. The poorer parts of humanity will have to learn how to use the tools they already have, ala wisdom, what no computer has. 

 

41:11 exactly, the computer programs make simulations which by default are approximations, not truly imaginative.

 

43:56 It is clear to me that many people clearly know people who are not using the modern computer systems. I find it interesting how many black people online keep saying, learn how to use it, ride the wave, like they either know many people not interested in using it or don't want to see any people who aren't using it. It is clear the population in the usa has an imbalance in its relationship to computer technology

 

46:54 well, in star trek between the enterprise computer side the holodeck side the borg the destination to the computer programs called AI was imagined. Humans were fine.  Cutting out human desire to enslave other human beings seemed to help...

 

50:36 Good goal in being free from google or am*zon in advertisements or book sales

 

54:17 good point, other technologies are not dead. Humans still need hand wrenches, even though you have electric powered. And humanity has enough people not connected to the internet to allow little zones online

 

56:00 well monopolies are mandatory goals in a public traded company environment where no firm is ever accepted for consistent financial results. Public trading demands greater growth all the time which is financially untenable or unrealistic but the bind

 

59:15 I know of Zane, I should had known she is the top seller on aalbc, erotic always sell.

 

1:00:38 great history on Zane and wikipedia and its editing, ahh terry mcmillan too. I don't use wikipedia for biography, but then I don't care for biography anyway

 

1:02:50 yeah, the village voice is gone in nyc, amsterdam news in harlem is a weekly, tough time

 

1:04:11 yes support black online

 

1:06:21 exactly, am*zon is competing against all other bookstores, or in retail against all other retails, this is why the federal government has anti trust agains them. I Wish someone would had asked you what you will like to see in an am*zon break up? any analogies to the ATT or MA Bell breakup in the 80s. 

 

1:08:21 great point on the illusion of the cheapest. I think how buyers in china are accustomed to getting cheaper than the usa, through sometimes illegal means or legally thin means but the point is, a buying culture of finding the cheapest exist in the world and those in the usa who are willing can do the same

 

1:09:12  that is diedre, dee, cool:)  she is on aalbc right?

Using computer programs to make a website is interesting cause I wonder if human lawyers can use the computer programs to check websites to make sure they are not skimming content. 

 

1:11:12 i didn't know am*zon asked writers to disclose if they used computer programs to write a book

 

1:!2:03 oh wow, you got a review written by an computer... I wish you could tell us what human presented such a thing as their own  , anyway

 

1:12:17 I told people teachers will not be challenged, as someone who has educated, it is very simple. students research your content tonight. Tomorrow 1/2 hour to write it in class. anyone pull out any technology, you are not allowed to submit anything and get a failing grade. I Don't think teaching is harmed, the problem with teachers is many of them don't want to challenge children as such because when children have failing grades, the systems dumps the problem on teachers even if the teacher's methodology is sound. It isn't a teaher's fault if a student doesn't study, if a student is disinterested, but the concept of no child left behind is...

 

1:12:47 her question is a challenge, why can't what successful black businesses did in the past work now? What is wrong? 

I think an answer of communalism is missing. The reality is, the usa has a large sense of individualism. I , me, mine. It isn't we, us, our. Kids get online, search their stream, have their content. It isn't communal activity, merely one in a field. 

 

1:16:14 and in defense, the black populace in the usa, has more funding than ever before. We forget, our financial allowance in all industries in the usa started in the 1900s not 1492.  I argue 1980s is the first decade in the usa where all sectors in the usa was actually open to black people, that is centuries blockaded and that is not easy to recover.

 

1:18:19 exactly, the individualism is rampant in the usa, communalism has it's advantages

 

1:18:56 This questioner is asking a way to determine truth in modern media absent any doubt, in the governmental sector, that doesn't exist outside door to door offline. The only way an elected official can reach people to give them the truth from their mouth, is town halls, door to door. 

To be historical , bill clinton told hillary clinton that she needed to do more groundwork, but she didn't feel it was needed. It isn't a problem, go door to door, be communal. it is time consuming, it isn't flashy. it isn't quick money but...

 

1:22:56 Nice talk , enjoyed your pulpit:)

 

 

my thoughts in conclusion

Does the information resonate or not?  Do you care about the subject, why or why not?  Do I make a compelling case, or is it mostly boring 

 

To anyone online, the issue of the algorithms online that dictate how the info flows should resonate, if it doesn't well, you are a true libertarian or maybe elibertarian. 

I care about all subjects, I grew up and still have a home where topics are discussed offline. 

 I Care about this issue as an artist online trying to figure out how to gain more outreach or fiscal profit while still be myself. 

I have heard most of your points to be honest, but the points are warranted and to those who haven't heard hopefully will enlighten. 

Boring is a funny word. You do drill some of your points. But is that drilling excessive, where it nulls the mind. I don't think so. But to those minds already nulled welll:) 

 

@Pioneer1 I oppose your position concerning  the black populace in NYC, maybe other black populaces in the usa need law enforcement in their modern condition. But the black populace in nyc in modernity and i argue in the past as well never needed the NYPD.

Outside the fact that the NYPD's own statistics have never suggested even close to one percent of the black populace in NYC is active in events

https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=1805&type=status

 A floor count of the black population in nyc is one million and six hundred and i know it is larger but lets go with that. 

ten percent of 1.6 million is 160,000, one percent is 16,000. 

Now harlem is 206,000 ... approximately half is black today. that is 100,000 and ten percent is 10,000 around the one percent mark of the whole. And one percent in harlem is 1,000.  Yes, the black populace in NYC is historically or commonly poor. The reasons why have nothing to do with the black populace in nyc. 

But , there has always been black people in NYC, like yourself, that suggested and today suggest a need of law enforcement which most black people in nyc know is 100% not true, even if they don't say it. 

White, the lawyer from the NAACP once said living in harlem, in the 1960s black people in harlem shouldn't riot as if black people rioting was common. 

Black people who talk like you pioneer exist in all black populaces. Every instance of murder or theft is turned into the rapture or some sort of apocalyptic scenario in need of attention. 

I repeat, NYC's black populace does not need and has never needed law enforcement. 

Black people selling drugs that people have to pay for was criminalized. Black people stealing in NYC was never as rampant as the white populace. Isn't as rampant as the non black people of color in NYC now. but the only populace in NYC that has  a large percent of itself talking about needing the NYPD is the least criminal acting populace which is the black populace in NYC. 

From the experience of me , my bloodline, who have lived in nyc for a time over one hundred years, NYC's black populace has NEVER needed law enforcement, but the black people in NYC who did utter and do utter the lie of a populace plagued by negatives are all traitors   whose damage to the black populace in NYC I wish I can undo.  

Yeah, lost your mother, lost your cousin, lost your grandpa, lost your friend, ok unfortunate, but in human allowance. I do not deny some black people have been harmed by other black people in every black populace in a city. But, in NYC over 95% of  black people have experienced no criminal activity by other black people towards them and the five percent that have need to is acceptable. No human populace is ever going to be absent some percentage of internal criminalization. It is inhuman to not have crime amongst humans. I wish the black traitors in NYC, again other places are not what I am speaking of,  would accept the bad hand of fate and stop judging the black populace in nyc based on their bad hand or their christian morals or their fortunate turns advantages.

However, Black folks on the inside of the  judiciary and law enforcement systems aren't helping our people.

 

I thought about donald trump owing eighty three million to a woman already getting money from him for defamation over years. 

It occurs to me, black men of nyc  who have been in the prison system are settling for too low. 

 

IF defamation over ten years can get eighty three million then seven million is too little to someone falsely imprisoned for over two decades. 

 

CANNABIS

 

 

 

NEW YORK – New York City Mayor Eric Adams today celebrated the opening of Matawana Dispensary, the first Black woman-owned legal cannabis dispensary in Brooklyn. Building on an announcement in his State of the City address last month, Mayor Adams recommitted to supporting the equitable growth of the legal cannabis market and ensuring justice-impacted individuals are not undermined through an illegal market by working with Albany to grant local authorities the power to inspect and shutdown illegal smoke shops.

“For too long, Black and Brown communities have faced high rates of drug-related incarceration and have been denied opportunities to build wealth. As we close out Black History Month, New York City is taking steps to right the wrongs of the past by supporting equitable growth in the legal cannabis industry,” said Mayor Adams. “But it’s not enough to support the opening of new legal cannabis shops — we must also close down the illegal operators that threaten the success of legal shops and put the safety of our communities at risk. We have been clear in our call to state lawmakers to give us the power to shut down illegal smoke shops, and we will continue to work with Governor Hochul and all our partners in Albany who are fighting to give us this authority.”

“I am encouraged to see the quickening pace of legal retail dispensary openings in the city and thank our colleagues at Cannabis NYC and the Office of Cannabis Management for all that they are doing to support the growth of the local market,” said Deputy Mayor for Housing, Economic Development, and Workforce Maria Torres-Springer. “To fulfill our promise to trailblazers like Leeann and to the communities most impacted by drug-related criminalization policies of the past, we have to pursue two priorities in tandem — developing services and supports for cannabis entrepreneurs and businesses while working with the state to close down illegal operators.”

“As a Brooklyn native who left New York due to denied access to medical cannabis, this is a full-circle moment,” said Cannabis NYC Founding Director Dasheeda Dawson. “Not only do I have the honor of leading the city’s efforts in developing an equitable, sustainable legal cannabis industry, but we are bearing witness to history with the first Black, woman-owned cannabis dispensary opening in my home borough. This opening reflects the Adams administration's commitment to building economic opportunity in communities most impacted by prohibition-era policies, transitioning legacy to legal, and becoming the ‘City of Yes’ for the multibillion-dollar global cannabis industry.”

“The Sheriff’s Office will continue to work with our partner agencies at the direction of Mayor Adams to conduct inspections of unlicensed smoke shops so the legal market can thrive,” said New York City Sheriff Anthony Miranda. “The New York City Sheriff’s Office Joint Compliance Task Force to Address Illegal Smoke Shops has seized over $29 million in illicit products that were being sold in illegal shops in close reach of our children and houses of worship, and found 92 percent of the locations inspected to be in violation of the law. As we protect our children and families from these unregulated products, we encourage those that do participate in this market to shop at a licensed location where the products are regulated and safe.”

“I'm proud of Matawana Dispensary, not just as an emerging small business, but as a symbol of equity in New York City’s legal cannabis industry,” said New York City Department of Small Businesses Commissioner Kevin D. Kim. “Businesses like this propel New York City as the global capital for legal cannabis and boost our city’s overall economic resilience.”

“Draconian prohibition laws cost my family almost everything, but the plant itself is a healing herb,” said Matawana Dispensary Founder Leeann Mata. “When it became legal, I used it to treat my anxiety and created formulations that helped my mother with pain and helped her conquer an opioid addiction. I have been able to support elders with homemade CBD creams.”

The legalization of cannabis has allowed a new economy to emerge in New York state while addressing the harmful impact of the ‘War on Drugs’ on Black and Brown New Yorkers. Leeann Mata, owner of Matawana Dispensary, is an East New York native who previously taught at a New York City Department of Education public school. A first-generation New Yorker with family originally from Trinidad, Mata and her family members were justice-impacted through the previous criminalization of cannabis, but now are part of a new legal, cannabis economy. However, for New York City’s new cannabis economy and businesses like Mata’s to thrive, the city and state need to protect the legal market from illegal actors. The Adams administration is working with Albany to secure the authority for local municipalities to have explicit control over cannabis enforcement to finally end this public health and safety issue.

New York City is using every tool available to protect young people from dangerous, illegal cannabis and tobacco products, while sending a clear message that anyone helping these illegal, unlicensed shops to spread throughout the five boroughs will be held accountable. Coordinating with both city and state authorities, the Adams administration formed the New York City Sheriff’s Office Joint Compliance Task Force to Address Illegal Smoke Shops. This task force is dedicated to conducting enforcement against unlicensed establishments selling cannabis, cannabis-infused edibles, illegal vaping products, illegal cigarettes, and other illegal tobacco products. Since forming, the task force has imposed almost $90 million in penalties — including an estimated $29 million in illegal products seized and over $61 million in civil penalties issued. Since the start of the Adams administration, the city has closed 160 illegal businesses, conducted over 46,000 inspections, collected over $18 million in fines, and issued 17,000 summonses.

Additionally, the city has sent letters to over 408 landlords and owners of buildings across the five boroughs warning that they could be legally liable for the continued unlicensed sale of cannabis or tobacco products by their tenants, resulting in 15 evictions.

https://www.nyc.gov/assets/finance/downloads/pdf/23pdf/landlord-illegal-smokeshop-notice.pdf

Last year, the city also filed a federal lawsuit against four major distributors of flavored disposable e-cigarettes for unlawfully distributing exotically flavored disposable e-cigarettes to retail vape and smoke shops, convenience stores, and directly to consumers in New York City through online sales. Two distributors have agreed to stop selling e-cigarettes in New York City while the remaining two are facing a preliminary injunction from the New York City Department of Law.

“I'm proud to see Brooklyn's first Black woman-owned dispensary open in the heart of my district,” said U.S. Representative Dan Goldman. “With the opening of Matawana, Leeann Mata is making history. Her advocacy to improve the criminal justice system and example of restorative justice are truly admirable. As more licensed dispensaries open their doors, I look forward to more community advocates like Leann becoming small business owners.”

“Congratulations to Leeann Mata on the opening of her new small business. I am a champion for small businesses and M/WBEs, and I am especially proud that this is the first Black woman-owned business of its kind,” said New York State Assemblymember Jenifer Rajkumar. “Matawana will provide economic empowerment to those disproportionately affected by Draconian drug laws and generate tax revenue that will be invested in communities historically targeted for enforcement, including Ms. Mata’s home of East New York. In Albany, I will support her by passing my SMOKEOUT Act, which will shutter all the unlicensed shops that unfairly compete with legal dispensaries like hers.”

Best line up ever, looks good to be honest:) is this the largest lineup in terms of quantity?

 I don't see your name or your box? 

congrats!:) 

did they have a little party? maybe make a book of memories?

@ProfD 

fair enough, I admit , it is the black populace in nyc that I thought about with this post more than any other in the usa.

In the last 24 hours, , a black elder, called law enforcement constantly on a mattress store. The mattress store was found out to have been allowing migrants whose thirty day stay is up to be in their basement. illegal of course, the basement has no windows, no ventilation, and they had 75 people in there rotating sleep sessions, they paid 300 dollars. But, law enforcement didn't discover anything, a black elder who wasn't hurt, wasn't interacted with, simply opened their damn mouth for no reason but to be a damn snitch. I am tired of all this. maybe  everywhere else in the usa this is warranted or needed and you know what, fair enough. but in nyc i tired of this, and i call traitors on any black person in nyc who acts like this. 

If you are afraid of living around homeless people, just leave nyc, please. If you can't stand having neighbors who don't act the way you want, then leave nyc please. Too many black church folk , black elders, black one percent seem more interested in making something out of nothing with other black people. I admit my irritation is in the black populace in nyc. I admit i should had let out that truth from the very beginning. 

@Troy well said, fair enough to education .

 

To the black community in tulsa, in cheap retrospect, isn't it clear the whole enterprise was false. Enterprise meaning what? 

When we talk of Tulsa so few of us, we or us meaning Black folk, ever focus on the faulty strategy of making a strong black populace in a white city in the first place. 

Again NYC is the proof. When you consider how much effort so many black people put to making successful black communities in nyc, i argue it is a waste of time regardless of whatever communal straegies you have in mind. The city is white, and even though black people are not being hanged in 2024, the city is harmful to black people. 

@ProfD but what about new orleans mardi gras? I know DOSers from new orleans... they are not ADOS to you then? 

 @Troy    if your favorite game is pinball and you are black from nyc, you are not a ghetto boy?:) 

 

@ProfD the curriculum must change, pi-no-chle!:) 

@Troy Ok, i miscomprehended. I thought it was directed to me. 

 

to the statistics, fair enough. I hold true that statistics are always in the gathering details. I have no proof nor the resources to count myself but I do now the white jewish population in nyc recently were discovered to have a over 90% failing rate among a collection of  hasidic schools in nyc. 

https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2064&type=status

But the key is that these schools students aren't treated as failures in the past with the same grades. Somethings flawed in the numbers in nyc at least when you have so many students who are failures, but not considered failing, and  I don't deny my negative bias, but I can say that while maybe everywhere else in the usa is correct to the numbers emitted by the federal government, nyc is not.

 

fair enough point to intrarace give and go's. 

 

@ProfD 

 

What kept black people from getting on the action? do you know that black people had to march and march and march to get white busineses to accept black labor in harlem? 

what kept? 

Prod, do you know black people were enslaved in the usa? Do you know what jim crow was after the war between the states? Do you know that jim crow was applied everywhere in the usa? 

You may feel i am insulting yu but I don't see it that way, i think my questions are valid because you seem to not know that whites are the enemies of blacks in the usa historically. And NYC white populace is more anti black than in the deep south. Yes, hangings aren't as common in nyc as in the south. yes but this city'entire government is anti black historically. yes in the year 2024, the government of nyc seems to be able to embrace all, but this is a recent occurence. During dinkin's administration it was so anti black . 

Proffd, black history in the usa has proven that codification + cooperation have limits to bringing success, if what you said was true, tulsa'a black community wouldn't had been murdered. What black populace in a city was more codifyng or cooperating than the black populace in tulsa... what happened? did they build a golden city in the sky? 

 

but @ProfD

the question at the poll was

 Does every black populace under each government in the american continent have a mardi gras/carnaval?

What black populace under a government in the american continent(canada to the usa) doesn't have a carnaval? i will like to know.

 

I didn't ask does a carnaval unite all continental black americans. None do. 

 

A day of freedom, is universal among the continental black americans from canada to argentina, but I don't think those days can be used to unite the DOSers continentally cause black people in the american continent have correctly while historically, always had variance among their definition of freedom or their goals. 

@ProfD I paraphrase the great james baldwin, how much time? one hundred years from now, five hundred? if by matter of time you mean one thusand years, well yeah. 

 

I quote myself intentionally 

Quote

I think the current populace in the usa's multiphenotypical, multireligious, multifinancial, multiphilosophical, ... multiracial form aside the current rule of law  is exposing the weakness in the system. The system in the usa was never designed to support the current situation nor was never designed to change to accommodate the current situation.  The question to the future is, how can the current empire to all in humanity, which the usa is, maintain its status internationally while changing sufficiently internally to accommodate its current situation. Various answers exist. The problem is who among the populace in the usa that has an answer plus is willing to emit an answer will be in a position to enact their answer?

 

any answer will require a significant sacrifice of time. I always give the caste parallel in india, the second most multiracial populace i humanity. The caste can't go casue the caste allows for the multiracial populace to exist.  In the same way the usa's individualism allows the multiracial populace to exist. yes, the individualism kills communal strength which is why all populaces are suffering to be better communally now in some way or form in the USA. But, to undo the system and build a new one better suited from within the usa while not having drastic financial or militaristic changes to the usa is really a task. The USA had a sixties generation of leaders who were willing but the rich white europans murdered them so... The current system is dysfunctional in many ways but where it does serve best is the individual mandate which allows for latinos who came into the usa illegally in modernity to vote for greater measures against illegal immigrants. It has always allowed for blacks led by the black church folk or black one percent to speak of all sorts of lies or falsities or half truths concerning the majority of the black populace in the usa which has always been fiscally nihil and only had illegal activity to provide financial opportunity. 

I know you see the usa in the context of two sides of the same coin but I a complex uneven many sided polygon that can't find balance on any one group with ever changing sides, far more than two, and is only held together by an individual allowance, which is rare under most governments in humanity, for positive reason. 

 

@Pioneer1 @ProfD @harry brown 

who among you answered no in the poll above and t ot he one who did, please speak of the black populace in a government in the american continent that doesn't have a mardi gras/carnival?

 

@ProfD I am not saying black people are our own worst enemy. I am saying the black populace has a large percent of people , at least in NYC whose position isn't the majority outside their group but was used by whites to aid in justifying false situations. And it matters cause the black populace in the usa today is built on those lies not just from the white man but black people themselves.  

the black drug dealers was never in control, the NYPD always controlled them. You have to comprehend how illegality works in every city in the usa.  TO be blunt, the NYPD have usually controlled the entire illegal financial operation in nyc since their creation. Yes, a few phases had true mob control but those are rare. The NYPD tells you where you can operate you know. Anyone who knows anything about the street in nyc knows this already . No the NYPD never take the majority cut because to take the majority cut will expose the nypd to internal affairs plus federal revue. The goal is to get a sweet cut, control where the illegal activity operates and let the illegal operators have the rest. 

So no one, white black or other in NYC's illegal fiscal market can do what they please as you suggested black drug dealers should had. Anyone tell you that can commonly happen is a liar. And those who want to go against the nypd or a larger mob will need serious arms, ok. this is not a simple thing. And as the nypd has grown in number this is even more of a challenge. 

But to talking about growing black wealth.  well, what do you mean? 

Remember, most of NYC's buildings were originally owned by whites or were through bankruptcy owned by the city government which for most of its history is over 95% white in terms of employees. 

I argue,in cheap retrospect the better argument is to grow black wealth outside nyc by said black drug dealers. Cause NYC, Chicago, Los aNgeles, or similar are all silly places when it comes to black empowerment. 

For black individuals they are fine but for the black populace they are never fine. 

 

 

@Troy   I admit I was so  concerned with the topic of black people's false positions in the black populace in the usa to search my own posts in this community, AALBC, where i cite. But I link something below for the staticticphiles. Now listen I can't verify anything. As I tell people elsewhere online, the only way to truly know the validity of any statistics is to do it all yourself. but anyway

https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2022/educational-attainment.html

They say the following

The high school completion rate in the United States for people age 25 and older increased from 87.6% in 2011 to 91.1% in 2021.

The percentage of the population age 25 and older with associate degrees rose from 9.5% to 10.5% between 2011 and 2021.

 

So I will retract my statement and say 

Most people in the usa don't have a college diploma near 70% 

 

But the statistics do not matter. The  point is black people speaking false to other black people. Which no one seems to be interesting talking about who commented on this post. Why support false things?

 

And I will even be as public to my personal life as i can stomach and say, there are those in my bloodline who concur to you Troy, about the condition of the black populace or NYC themselves, while they actually knew the white hand. But I have to add , there are those in my bloodline who concur to me as well, about my position in opposition to yours. And the people I am speaking about are older than you and lived in NYC their entire lives. Now I am not going to go any further and if anyone doesn't believe well ok. But, I am not going to provide some valdiation or quotations or names. 

 

Crooked cops, in my view , crooked NYPD, it isn't cops for me, it is the entire organization. Every single law enforcer in NYC knows a fellow law enforcer who is committing a crime and sequentially they are aiding and abetting said crime plus breaking the oath they utter. 

 

I never said Drug dealers were traitors to the race Troy. I was speaking of black church people. I apologize for confusing you plus the people i call the black one percent. They in my view were and still are the traitors cause their positions are false to the situation of the larger populace. but I comprehend why , as i said in my comment

Quote

The black church folks are traitors who were bitter that all age groups of black people were less and less buying into their nonviolent/law abiding speech that produced in nyc no results and if anything gave whites the cart blanche, the white card, to take advantage of the black populace absent any resistance. 

 

if I said black drug dealers were traitors to the black race please quote me and I will retract that.

@Pioneer1

I will not speak for everywhere but I know offline people older than you , who were in NYC during the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s. 

 

1. 

Most black people in NYC saw the white hand, moreover, knew the white hand and spoke about the white hand. I repeat most Black people in NYC knew of the white hand. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar.  But to my point about traitors, the damn black church which in the 1960s, 1970s, and onwards  was losing its cultural grip in the black populace of nyc. I am not saying no one didn't go to sunday service, people still do now,  but the situation today started then. In NYC, i will not speak for other places, but in nyc, the black church had lost ground. And in the 1970s with the white call for the war on drugs, which the nypd , a white organization started,  the black church in nyc supported that even though anybody black who lived in nyc, if honest knew the black populace in nyc wasn't a war zone at all. that is a lie. The black church folks are traitors who were bitter that all age groups of black people were less and less buying into their nonviolent/law abiding speech that produced in nyc no results and if anything gave whites the cart blanche, the white card, to take advantage of the black populace absent any resistance. 

It is the year 2024. I am not going to write a white history book for these folks. They were bitter or alienated. Most alienated, least bitter. But feeling angry that your tribe in the village is losing potency  in the larger village doesn't warrant aiding and abetting a rival village harming your own even worse.  

 

2. 

Well in NYC the dealers was and still are the NYPD. Just in the past few months a law enforcer got "caught", meaning she iddn't pay her higher ups their cut,  selling drugs. the nypd is the dealer Pioneer. Who is going to put the nypd in jail exactly? Please answer. Please answer. Those traitors in NYC did want to blame the financially poor black person without an opportunity or pot to piss in for trying to make dollar in this of all countries, while as always they are totally silent to the NYPD continuous criminal actibities. Who runs the prostittuion, who runs the drugs, who runs the extortion, I just made a post in this very community exposing how the nypd is allowing the illegal marijuana business to thrive. https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2597&type=status The NYPD aren't traitors they are enemies. Where is the black church on that

 

...

Many other black folk online of offline , yes i have said this offline in my local neck of the village, have opposed my view on the black elder traitors. But I hold firm. If ever their comes a day when I am in a black community I love again, I will not allow tis sort of behavior.
