Reparations + Juneteenth
-
You know, maybe because of Juneteenth, I have thought about freedom in the black community in the usa and when black people talk about reparations we mention how most black people wanted it, but we don't mention how black leadership in the usa since the war between the states in majority never advocated for reparations. No black leadership group has ever truly advocated reparations. The Black church hasn't, the NAACP hasn't, Black colleges hasn't , black elected officials to any party of governance hasnt. So, yes, most black people in the USA have thought of reparations, wanted reparations, but a majority of black leadership in the usa hasn't advocated it, even if they spoke well of it or desired it in private. If our leadership isn't advocating something, no matter how loud we are, it will not be done. With the modern black community in the usa internally more multiracial than ever before, mostly allegiant to the usa more than ever before, more willing to live aside non blacks more than ever before, more financially wealthier in the usa than ever before, the issue of reparations is least desired today than ever before in the black community in the usa. It doesn't mean reparations isn't warranted, nor is the ower the usa. The ower is the White community. But, Black leadership in the usa in majority chose to guide the black community to where it is now, and one of the negatives of that choice is black people have to live with reparations being warranted but no longer majority supported in the black community itself.

@Chevdove yeah I am a fan of st louis jazz
yeah, it is a favorite among our folk, but others as well.
That is the east side one. They have two in manhattan. Tried for three but had to let the third go for the city's fiscal environment during the sars-cov-2 response.

An Impossible Proof Of Pythagoras

In the 2000 years since trigonometry was discovered it's always been assumed that any alleged proof of Pythagoras’s Theorem based on trigonometry must be circular. In fact, in the book containing the largest known collection of proofs (The Pythagorean Proposition by Elisha Loomis) the author flatly states that “There are no trigonometric proofs, because all the fundamental formulae of trigonometry are themselves based upon the truth of the Pythagorean Theorem.” But that isn’t quite true: in our lecture we present a new proof of Pythagoras’s Theorem which is based on a fundamental result in trigonometry—the Law of Sines—and we show that the proof is independent of the Pythagorean trig identity \sin^2x + \cos^2x = 1.URL

While in India
India drops the periodic table, Pythagorean theorem and evolution from school textbooks
Story by Sushmitha Ramakrishnan, Deutsche Welle •
...
On June 1, India cut a slew of foundational topics from tenth grade textbooks, including the periodic table of elements, Darwin's theory of evolution, the Pythagorean theorem, sources of energy, sustainable management of natural resources and contribution of agriculture to the national economy, among others.
...
A small section explaining Michael Faraday's contributions to scientific understanding of electricity and magnetism has also been removed.
...
India's National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) -- the public body that designs curriculum and textbooks --...expanding its list of omitted topics.
...
tenth grade is the last year mandatory science classes are offered in Indian schools.Proof
https://ncert.nic.in/pdf/Rationalisation-of-textbook/NCERT_Response-Periodic_Table_and_Evolution.pdfPROOF - URL is above
NCERT’s response to news related to rationalised content on Evolution and
Periodic Table in Science Textbooks
During the COVID -19 pandemic, students and teachers across the school stages were at
home and managing teaching-learning using alternative modes. NCERT attempted to
rationalise the contents of the textbooks in 2021 considering following criteria: a.
Overlapping with similar content included in the other subject area in the same class. b.
Similar content included in the lower or higher class in the same subject. c. High difficulty
level d. Content, which is easily accessible to children and does not require much
intervention from the teachers and can be learnt through self-learning or peer-learning. e.
Content, which is not relevant in the present context or is outdated. f. Learning outcomes
already developed across the classes are taken care of in this rationalization exercise.
With respect to the removal of the concepts of periodic table and evolution are
concerned, the same has not been removed from the school education curriculum
but in fact are available in appropriate detail in classes 11 and 12.
Regarding rationalization of the concept of evolution:
As far as the rationalisation of the content of evolution is concerned, the same has been
dealt in appropriate details in classes 12 as stated above.
A considered opinion emerged based on the feedback received from various stakeholders,
including practising teachers, that children may not have to study same concepts at
different stages and it needs to be done at appropriate stage. Therefore the same has
been rationalized at this stage, more so considering the Covid pandemic situation.
Regarding rationalization of the periodic table:
Discussion about basic concepts such as elements, symbols, formation of compounds,
atoms and molecules have been dealt with in class 9. In class 10, chemical reaction; acids,
bases & salts; metals & non-metals; carbon & its compounds have been covered. Students
pursuing science in classes 11 and 12 will study the details of Periodic Classification of
elements (Periodic table). The content placed in the periodic table again have been made
more age appropriate, more so considering the Covid pandemic situation. -
@Chevdove skettel is being made, the screenplay is made, the first image is the thespian who will be the female lead.

@Pioneer1 Only one thing , it isn't mysterious entities. Nippon/China/Russia/many other governments bought the debt. They bought it cause the usa is the safest currency. The problem is, said countries also trade in this debt, the biggest being nippon. which means if the usa was to default, Nippon would now sell all that debt in a storm as the evaluation of the debt bought will go negative and that will begin a cascade of intergovernmental problems. The USA will be safe but the global system the usa set up will collapse and that will mean many governments or wealthy in every part of humanity will be damaged.
-
@Pioneer1 well, yes, it doesn't seem wise to invest in a secret:)
but the name comes from cryptography, literally the study of secrets, but functionally the study of private information in electronic devices.
The hashtag and more importantly its utilization is what made crypto from a technical point of view and thus the name Cryptocoins.
The reason why crypts are attached to graves is that in early christianity, when it was illegal or an impotent community, christian places had to be kept safe from authorities or others, thus crypts.

I wonder how common WAS this in our communities back in the 50s?
Statistics are not known but I can say this having been fortunate to speak to black people who actually lived back then. These things did happen but it wasn't common or a plague. Remember the USA in itself in the 1950s is miscomprehended. There is an idea that people didn't know about debauchery or sexual activities. This isn't true. It wasn't some wild rampant as some suggest but it was also present. It connect to the next point.
QuoteIt makes me wonder how common were drugs and getting high at that time.
Well drugs have been common throughout the entirety of human history. But when he speaks of getting high he is refereing to high as in jubilation. Remember the black community in the usa was a much more christian community and still had remnants of our enslaved days where black people treated being high as being free from this world of enslavement. Be careful reading in modern sentiments into the past. And to that, Black people were mostly moonshine drinkers, tobacco smokers. These are drugs but they are common. Like Marijuana today, most black people have never been hard drug takers. But the reason is simple, most hard drugs require money. Cocaine isn't cheap, ala why black people were able to afford crack, its derivative. Most hard drugs are too expensive for black folk. Now comprehend, moonshine is potentially a hard drug in that moonshine can be over 90 proof which is strong alcohol content, near 50 but moonshine can be 110 or 120 proof, that is damn near pure alcohol. So when you say common drugs, well, Alcohol is ever present in the usa in general, all communities. I hope your not suggesting black people should be beyond taking any drugs. The kings of the nile sold wine.
QuoteAnd why....or what excuse was given...for these raids.
Well, I can tell you for sure that the NYPD has to get a cut of all crimes, as we speak right now at hunts point where the women walk naked around at 1am , the pimps are paying law enforcement in one way or the other. So why? why is to make sure the underworld comprehends who has to get their cut. Remember the NYPD was started by Bos Tweed as a place for Irish street gangs. And excuses were not given. What people consider legal oversight for law enforcement is a relatively new creation. In NYC something called the Nap commission <a msispelling> was started in the 1970s by mayor lindsey to begin managing law enforcement in nyc.
QuoteYou live and you learn.

@Pioneer1 When you ask what do I mean, you didn't grow up with stories about High John?
Well, High John is what I will label a Black DOS myth. He was a black character in the same vein as Anansi or Brer Rabbit. But Brer Rabbit/Anansi/High John are not the same. High John's nemesis was literally Massah. Growing up as a kid my parents read some of his tales and I would read them. The book is on the shelf.
Most of the High John stories have one common theme, he always succeeds in outwitting massah. His plans always work out.
I am a huge High John fan from my youth.

@ProfD thank you for saying that the bill can't be called in. If you give your life savings to the local mob boss and get a deal to get interest, the mob boss will not be afraid of you even if he stop paying interest. The USA military is the answer , positively or negatively.
@Pioneer1 In NYC many people still have years of unpaid rent. The problem Pioneer is the usa has an unlimited budget and can't have its debts called in, but it also wants to keep the illusion of financial honesty or sincerity.

Can YOU offer any credible proof that Crypto proved a viable investment tool for Black people? You never provide proof of anything, just baseless and ludicrous opinions.
Can you provide a link of when i ever said crypto was a viable investment for black people ? I will help you.
The following is a link to all post from me with the word crypto in it, in aalbc.
https://aalbc.com/tc/search/?&q=crypto&quick=1&author=richardmurray&search_and_or=or&sortby=newest
QuoteA few feature stories in the NY Times about White dudes are NOT proof that Crypto benefited Black people. Let's see some links to a credible news source discussing how Crypto proved a boon for Blacks.
The only truly credible proof is a private financial investment ledger which I am not privy too. Cause I repeat , I have never personally supported investing in crypto. And if I was privy to such information I doubt i would display it without the permission of the people it relates to. Now, I have never suggested I can provide irrefutable proof on anything. And regardless of my offline information, which I wouldn't convey online anyway, that isn't proof.
QuoteI remember your past nonsensical bullcrap:
How you wanted me to help you write a post extolling the virtues of NYC Subway Terrorist Frank James. You admired James because as you told me, he made Black NYC Mayor Eric Adams look bad. And James was, according to your rancid thinking, striking a blow against homelessness. I have no idea how came up with that garbage. I replied James had been little but a crazed dumbf-ck for years who would be sentenced to a long prison term. And that's exactly what happened.I wanted you to help me write something. I don't recall I ever wrote anything like that.
Here is one half of my proof , these are all the posts with frank james concerning me. Never once did I ask or desire you to help me write anything. You like proof, check yourself.
The following is the other half. I don't usually submit a private multilog, but your lies force this.
If you notice, you started this private message, not me. I never asked you for... anything. I never wanted anything from you. And I refuted your view toward me. You kept suggesting your assisting me by communicating to me.
QuoteRichard,
If you want to become a good blogger, then never assume of pontificate without evidence to back up your claims.
This is what you wrote: Sequentially, a black party of governance will have to oppose Black leadership in nearly all sectors.
Do you even know what sequentially means? It means chronologically or one after the other.
What you mean is a Black Political Party, not a black party of governance. In this country, Blacks don't govern chit, which is what governance means.
NEarly all black elected officials in the USA will oppose it. Again, did you survey Black elected officials or are you projecting your own personal biases? Because what you wrote again cannot be proven.
NEarly all black fiscally wealthy will oppose it. You mean wealthy without the fiscally. Wealthy defines an individual with a high net worth. Because rich means someone who has a lot of available money and probably spends a lot. Which means they could also carry a lot of debt. Trump is rich, but not wealthy.
I think we all know a Black party of governance hasn't been tried with vigor cause it represents a challenge for most Black people who are deemed successful in the usa. Again, you are assuming. Explain how a Black Political Party would challenge most successful Black people.
These are questions your readers will demand answers to.
Now, you know why I was such a damn good editor. I never allowed bullcrap or bad writing to fly. And all those young White writers with Master's Degrees from Ivy League universities eventually learned to ask me for help before filing bullcrap copy.
I will try to help you if you really want to write. Just let know.QuoteStefan, thank you for your critique.
I used the word sequentially, referring to the fact that after a Black party to governance is started, it will face the following things instantly, based on the current scenario. Can I prove my future claims? no. I can't. But I am willing to challenge anyone who suggest otherwise come with their reasoning. I can provide mine.
No, I meant a Black party of governance. A Black political party is merely a gathering of Black people. The Black panthers of self defense is a political party. The nation of islam is a black political party. The KKK is a white political party. The Party of Abraham Lincoln or the Party of Andrew Jackson are parties of governance. These are gatherings of people for the purpose of control in government.
I admit I haven't polled all I assert to. But I think everything I wrote is supported by history.
Black elected officials existed in the USA for over 150 years. In that time, a Black party of governance has not succeeded in gaining a seat outside of one potential example, in mississippi. In 150 years I am certain many Black people uttered, lets have our own party. The fact that it hasn't been tried by a largess of Black elected officials tells me all I need to know about that community. Now, can I be wrong ? yes. But, for me to be wrong, it means that a large number of black elected officials, combined from the POAJ or POAL , are eager to have a black party of governance, but never did in 150 years. PErhaps, I can be wrong. but I don't think so.
I define wealth as that which is valuable. It can be fiscal, ala money or in other ways.
I said in my post, most Black people deemed successful have a positive relationship with whites, an integrated relationship on a personal level with whites and by default a Black party of governance is not an integrated institution and unlike Black collegiate sororities or fraternities is not within the confines of historical black institutions.
Now, will many readers, maybe most or maybe not most, contest each poistiion? yes. Do I have irrefutable proof to any position I make? no. Do I think I need irrefutable proof? no. I can accept anyone saying, none of this can be proven, therefore none of it is true.
I end with praise for you Stefan. You are an excellent editor to the majority literary standard in the USA. I don't comply to said majority standard in my: literary structure, use of words, reader considerations, or personal guidelines.
If I ever want to emit work to comply to the standards that you are a master at putting forth, I will definitely contact you.
QuoteI said I would help you. Keep it simple.
The average person reads at 8th grade reading level.Quotegood point
Now, for your next positions
QuoteYou also swore that it would have been ideal for Blacks to create an all Black Political Party in the year 1865. Although in a subsequent message to me, you labeled it a Black Party of Governance. There is no Black Party of Governance and creating one in the U.S. in the year 1865 would have gotten so many Black men lynched. (Because remember, it took many decades before women were officially granted The Vote).
Again, I never said ideal. I have never said offline or online that at any moment in the history of the usa or the european colonies that proceeded it that anything was ideal concerning black people, no plans no situation no ideas have ever been ideal for black people in the usa.
What I said, and here is your proof
is the following
I want you to quote when I said anything was ideal
some of my earliest quotes, say nothing about ideal situations. And you can use the link above if you want more proof. I messaged in a public post that it is a Black party of Governance. And I never said one existed , I said one was needed, and hasn't been tried. And for the historical record, so many black men were lynched , black women raped, black towns burned completely, I don't comprehend why a Black party of governance would had made more of a negative difference, when even whites will admit that violence against black people after slavery in those early years was worse than during slavery.

And lastly, your position of black ignorance of the past.
QuoteFor the most part, Blacks could not freely vote in the United States in 1865 and in fact, most Black Slaves in the South never had any inkling they had even been freed by the Emancipation Proclamation. When they found out, they created the beginnings of the Juneteeth Celebration. There would have been precious little benefit to creating an all Black political party back then.
The articles are all cited. And clearly show the idea that black people were ignorant to their condition in the past is a lie, or that they were disengaged. I repeat, black leadership made a choice and that choice led to the changes black leadership wanted in the black community but they had other options that I think were better and still today, the black community in the usa has elements it lacks which its leadership isn't supporting.

My only problem was I went against what I said and I replied to you. That was my mistake. I will not make it again.

@ProfD No I meant luck. Inside knowledge isn't luck, that is a cheat. Which always occurs . but I meant true luck. Some people made fortunes in crypto without inside knowledge Prof.

@ProfD yeah:) and the usa has seen this story many times: The gold rush or the oil rush in the late 1800s early 1900s, the original stock market boom in 1920s, the dot com boom, the crypto boom, the usa is the home of get rich quick schemes. the luckiest invest a lot before the stampede but get most out before the winter. the lucky invest the same way with affordable funds. while most, overwhelming majority, have bad timing or investment and lose money.
I imagine extraterrestrial mining will have a similar fate.

My comment
based on the articles, and my own comprehension beforehand. Many people had the idea for a memorial day at the end of that war. Who originated it is functionally a hard question cause that will require knowing who was the first to make plans as many celebrations at the end of the war between the states to memorialize the soldiers was present. But, while the first conceived is hard or near impossible to answer, the first on record can be achieved.
