@Stefan lovely, did you take that shot?

@Troy Me neither and if any of said people tried to do something about it, it failed or at least didn't result in a goal of reducing white jewish communal power in the literary industry of the usa. If any of said people didn't try then they are doing one of the problems with many strategems. The people who utter them or preach them or... prosyletize them to others, didn't actually live them or execute them. Unwillingness to lead by example is one of the saddest diseases among humans.

remember to check your prices

yeah but the question is, if one is upset at the potency of the white jewish community in a particular industry, what to do to diminish said communities power in said industry?

Did any of those writers you mention provide or live strategies/solutions?

The thing that inspired me to post was all the positions [ not needing a man, male inability, the greatness of sex toys] were stated by the women in the video. 

Not trying to jumble just stated those since they happen to be five:) @Pioneer1

@aMhayes I think many black writers have, the problem is getting those black visions of black history into the possession of black youth. I was lucky, my parents made sure I didn't need any white created media. I Didn't and don't need disney/hollywood film studios/tv shows. but most black people growing up have no black artistic cultural base, so it takes college or later for them to actually be exposed to the wide black culture from the british colonies or the usa from them. 

Some times I thought had good points

@Pioneer1 ahhh:) well, nice films you will put money too.

cool

@Pioneer1 he was thinking it will be a hit. It makes sense to me. .. the sad thing about the film business is most films earn less than what is made to make them, this is a historical fact.  Second, the competition matters in the film buisness. any film that came out during episodes  7/8/9 oepning weeks of star wars got hammered. 

PReacher's wife came out in 1996. December, who came out around the same time. 

Jerry maguire came out before. mars attakcs. I can see how preacher's wife was ok but then scream came out five days later. that probably was the killer. Many black people love horror movies. So, the white audience just got finished with jerry maguire which is a romance. And then scream 1 came out and that drained many others. so I Can see how preacher's wife was hurt. 

And lastly, Movies where the black ticket buyer comes out heavily in my memory: malcolm x which is a biography made triple its money /the lion king of disney / black panther of disney /girl's trip which is a comedy/get out which is a horror film/coming to america which is a comedy. I am probably missing something/posse which made  six times its money which is a western/new jack city made five times its money is a street crime film/waiting to exhale which made four times its money is a  drama but a collection of stories/... i can't recall a film centered around a black married couple being among the most ticket sold films involving black people. And I think you love the films of the 1970s, forgive me if it wasn't you but another, but in the 1970s, again, none of the films are marital dramas. Coffee/shaft/superfly/three the hard way / and others, none are marital dramas. so the black ticket buyer has yet to be given a black marital drama on its own that they are willing to go to the movies to see. So this film was a gamble based on black movie buyers habits and even with denzel washington + whitney houston it wasn't able to get black ticket buyers.

And I will add cause film is a collective art project. 

Maybe the casting was bad but I don't mean in terms of acting but how fanbases can have expectations on actors. I don't think the whitney houston or denzel washington fanbases like their placement. I wonder if denzel wasn't the hsuband and whitney the wife while courtney b vance was th eangel would this movie gone differently. Denzel at that itme is the black man who gets the girl so to speak and maybe the fact that he wasn't, had an negative effect onhis fanbase. when i saw him on stage side viola davis, even though troy is not the gentlest black man, black women enjoy him as the husband. I heard thigns from the audience. 

Courtney b vance is in a lovely marriage from my vantage point to angela bassett, he is a nice looking guy right? but, the film legend of denzel is so great that myabe that choice, which i imagine denzel liked, to not get the girl , cost the film. 

I have said it before baout the WIZ, if diana ross layed the good witch of the north and let stephanie mills be the dorothy on film, i think the wiz becomes a huge hit. I think black women/girls/females would had responded greater to a little black girl in such a big budgeted film, being utterly cute and loveable and pretty and the winner over a black grown women in her 40s pretending to be girlish. 

casting matters and is usually underrated by many when they assess films, sometimes it can be that simple. 

Are you on edelweiss?

Great @Troy I try to post black authors work that I don't think is commonly own, not just mine:) , whenever i see it to aalbc. 

haha yes @Pioneer1 it's ok though, troy is busy , this is a nice time for him, and ic an be too verbose:) 

@Troy I said offline communication need to improve:) You skim by my posts don't you:) 

in terms of online discourse, I think the one thing I wish to add is offline discourse between black men side black women needs to improve. I think if offline discourse improved, online would.  @Pioneer1

@frankster 

nice dialog:) ... for the public record I am merely ending the dialog cause my reply became too long and I am not in the prosyletizing or continual restating game

@frankster

Well, I don't know the quantity but I am certain through the three letter organizations the usa has killed many throughout all humanity, in or outside the usa. That is force. 

The roman empire's government was always one. The closest government i can think of to the roman empire in modernity is sudan's before their official split. Before Sudan split into two sudan,  they were two heads in one government, the southern head controlled the south and the northern head controlled the north but both were needed in all international affairs, they still had one embassy. Both sides were consulted by all outside governments. And the head of the south sudan or north sudan were not in the capitol.  THis was what happened in Rome. Rome split into a two headed government, sometimes four headed, but always one body. The parts of the body had their capitols everywhere but Rome, which degraded as a city even though it was still the official capitol. Nova Roma, is the name of constantinople by the roman people themselves. But the key is, Constantine ended the multiple parts, thus why he wanted a new capitol city representing this new restructuring. 

Now why is the comparison you made false. Well, the usa is an offshoot of the british empire. The USA is like the visigothic empire or the holy roman empire of charlemagne. Which is an offshoot of the roman empire based in its northern colony germany. remember the franks came from the lands most call germany today. and germany was to the roman empire what the 13 colonies were to britain.

Brasil has had four capitol cities while its government changed from a regal to a military junta to some form of elected official: salvador in bahia, rio de janeiro, sao paulo, brasilia. Each capitol change reflected a change in brasilian government in the same way nova roma represented a change in the roman empire's government.

But, the government of the british empire was never going to be new york. 

I agree 100% to you that the roman empire is dead, it died in my eyes when the last roman empire died fighting the city state of nova roma from the ottomans. But, the culture of the roman empire like most grand empires, outlast its existence. We see this in the british empire even now [ the love of english in modern humanity comes from the bitish empire who emphasized that]and it will be for the usa empire as well [all the governments with elected officials plus the international organizations will exist in the future in ways based on the usa's influence]. Empire's culture outlast empires.  I argue against you to where the roman empire lives on. In my view, all of europe mimicks the roman empire in various ways. To restate the roman empire lives on in all of europe, but it was very influential to every corner of europe, so it is warranted. Yes the vatican speaks the latin language of the roman empire. But I argue, Nova Roma , istanbul or constantinople, is the biggest reflection to what old rome looked like, a truly multiracial city. And istanbul is the most populated city in europe or at least is running an easy second. The parisian arrondissments is clearly an allusion to the roman city planning. 

The vatican does have alot of banking activities but don't underestimate religion. I have seen things, the religious aspect of the roman catholic church matters to many. admittedly not me, but its more than just a bank.

@Dee Miller @aMhayes we are three i will make a private message for us to communicate

yeah @frankster ever since the 1970s, the usa went full into the idea of financial manipulation through the market though again, the military helps. without military power this does not happen

exactly @ProfD exactly, its genius as long as its true

but @frankster the roman empire rebounded and retained itself under justinian. the move from roma to nova roma had a financial element, but also a militaristic + cultural element, militaristically  the roman empire had overreached but culturally, the christian community had become a menace that forced potent changes of the roman empire from a publicly multiracial government to a christian government and that eventually led to its end. The banking wasn't what killed it. 

I will also add, the roman empire centered at roma + nova roma didn't know how to operate as a small country. leading is one thing, but following is another and the roman empire had a problem following. 

@Troy

no it is an implication, here is here quote

Quote

 

After our talk, I wrote back to Ruth saying:

"I am deeply saddened to hear that all hate speech will be allowed and that there is no recourse planned for any inflammatory remarks should they occur, nor any preventative measures being taken. I believe deeply in free speech, but not hate speech.

 

Here is the link tot he substack you shared

https://zibbyowens.substack.com/p/why-zibby-media-pulled-out-of-the

yes i concur, no government has ever accepted 100% free speech in human history

...

I did say i read the article:) 

I read the article, she said hate speech isn't free speech, which of course is a simple lie. Free speech includes all speech. If free speech doesn't include all speech then it isn't free speech. 

And in the comments to the article, someone who said they are jewish disagreed with her reasoning. 

 I remember Richard Pryor did a stand up at an event led by bett midler and in it he called it like it is to many in the white lgbtq or white jewish communities. I recall when Sammy davis jr wasn't invited to catholic john f kennedy's inaugural party. And   again, WEB DUbois went to court and spoke against Marcus Garvey. I even learned recently that 67% of the ticket buyers to the Marvels were men, so women didn't even show up to see the marvels movie more than men when the movie is clearly aimed at women's empowerment. 

My point. 

The populace in the usa has a problem, I argue a problem made at its very founding. The problem is a more complicated set of communities exist side each other than the usa's government or media or people themselves are willing to admit.
