  1. @Pioneer1 totally different, 

     

    The equinoxes plus solstices involve the angle of the axis of the earth.

    For example in the equinox, the sun plus the earth's equator are in line. To visualize it, imagine two circles one big circle the sun  and one small circle the earth , then imagine each circle has a line between its center representing the equator of either sun or earth, diameter length. Now imagine a line that connects the two lines. If an angle is made that isn't the equinox. Try drawing the two circles with their individual lines and a line in between till you get no angle between the line in between and the two circles lines. Once you do, that is the equinox. 

     

    the aphelion or perihelion involve the distance between the earth and sun in the earth's orbit around the sun. It is elliptical so like an oval and sequentially has two points, to a center, the center being the sun in this case. Aphelion is farthest and perihelion closest. 

     

    Well, all of these events do have unique effects on those days. For example, on the june solstice, it is the longest day in the northern hemisphere, while the longest night in the southern hemisphere,. while the december solstice is the longest day in the southern hemisphere while the longest night in the northern hemisphere. 

    The aphelion is when the sun appears smallest in the sky. The perihelion is when the sun appears largest in the sky. 

    It is the same with the moon. When the moon is closest, the perigee or farthest, waves are influenced more< closest> or less< farthest> 

    Global, meaning the earth, events do happen. 

     

    Now to answer your question. The answer is technically yes. But, it requires a base explanation. 

    Ancient humans would spend multiple lifetimes measuring the changes they could sense. I know of a measuring in the muslim arabic world that was started by a caliph but went on long after he died to measure the moon. It is not easy finding out more about these sorts of things at times but I am working on it. 

    Conjunctions- alignment of visible objects in the sky

    Pathways and crossings- of objects in the sky. For example the ecliptic is the path of the sun in the sky, which can tell you many things about the planetary bodies or the equinoxes or solstices.

    But the biggest problem is these things require keeping track of them. Rightly or wrongly, books have been burned, knowledge has been lost, meanings have faded. 

    Modern humanity was born from white europeans, after killing each other, going out of europe and killing the rest of humanity, which has made most of modern humanity ignorant to its past and to the details needed for the spiritual assessment you ask of. Remember stone henge isn't fully comprehended in england itself. So england who has negatively destroyed many other human communities doesn't even know its own past well. 

    So the spiritual meaning is lost, and to get it back will take lifetimes of patience, record and comprehension. 

    Are you up for it ? :)

     

     

     

  2. @Pioneer1 effectiveness is another aspect whose definition is not set in stone in the black community, it is complex again. 

    I know you have your definitions as do I, as do all,  but the black community isn't about one person's views and to that end, while many black people have  definitions akin to yours many black people don't. So the question is how will you + black people who share your views be able to go on and not interfere to black people who don't? 

     

    On a historical note, the affordable care act is nancy pelosi's not obama's. IT is public record that obama oppossed the bill, but nancy pelosi supported it as it would help women with children who have deadly diseases finally get healthcare/insurance, as the industry banned them beforehand. Obama made a campaign promise that he would do whatever the legislature put forward and pelosi leading the donkey led senate+ house put all the cards in the affordable care act. They lost the senate and everything else was inevitable. 

     

    @Chevdove a black party of governance is needed in the usa for the black community, but it has one key problem in modernity. A problem that is quite strong. Gardless the reasons why <the reasons are from two sources: the black community + white community> , the black community in the usa  at the year 2023 is the farthest from being ready for such an institution. The black community in the usa circa 1865 or before was 100% ready, but from then to now, various things, positive + negative, have molded the black community in the usa into a most complicated form. And communal complexity is the enemy to a functional party in general but definitely of governance. Ala why most people across all demographics in the usa, poll disconnected to either of the major parties. No two communities have the same needs and usually the parts in a single community don't have the exact same needs, but in the usa, you have a trillion communities each with a trillion parts and no policy can be made that will not cause harm to one group or another. 

     

  3. yes @Troy

    manipulated, yes, but I will add, manipulated to go down the only road available and google knows, moreover, we all do. 

    In NYC, three weeks ago, learned by way of local media, a migrant from central america did what few immigrants or migrants ever do in the usa, he flat out admitted NYC has no jobs. The same local media has made sure to showcase the one percent who are doing better, but that member of the migrant 99% was correct. 

    NYC government, flat out said half the populace , aracial unity @ProfD ,can't pay for food or housing. 

    Today 7/15/2023 local media plead with parents to take children to the summer school food program cause children are starving in nyc. 

     

  4. @Chevdove oh yes, remember, the quantity of artist creating who aren't making grand dollars has always been far larger than the number of artists being exposed. 

    I will help you. How many telenovela films in Latin American media per year+ How many films from Nigerian cinema per year+ How many films from the five major Indian<as in asia> cinema per year+ How many films from mainland china per year+ How many films from hong kong per year+ how many films from Japan <t.v. or theatrical > per year+ how many films <t.v. plus streaming + cable+theatrical> per year from Hollywood in the USA+ How many films from independent filmmakers in the usa per year? That alone is a lot, and not exhaustive. I didn't include europe or russia. Many films are made per year. And let alone the backlog. 

    This is why who controls the art that is viewed or ranked is key. They dictate what of the 1% gets access. 

     

    Well remember, their is a price for being controlled. Look at Europe. 

    To have the greatest freedom one must have control, but that is a bloody thing, it isn't always easy or pretty

     And like all empires, all empires before and after the usa , the USA benefits from people who accept slavery cause when the cage is gilded

  5. @Troy

    funny prose concerning the woman eating with you at the fridge

     

    @ProfD dumbazz? Do you know , if you succeed in one of those acts and get a high quantity of views you can become an internet sensation, that could lead to a little something financially. For those kids that little something is a lot more than the other option, which is nothing. Risk? 100% but are they dumb taking a chance at what is truly offering a chance. 

  6. @Troy great memory, what happened to Hill Harper's bitcoin push. I recall it after your comment , thank you. Where are all the financial masters in here talking about it?

     

    @ProfD  well remember one thing, even if hill harper gets elected to a legislature, like all legislature's it works by collective action and sequentially, no matter what his quality is, if his peers are disinterested or disengaged then... nothing happens. One person does not swing a legislative body.

     

    @Cynique Christy was governor of New Jersey, if he had achieved results as governor of new jersey to great effect, he could rely on that alone and not have to talk so much about others in the first place. 

     

    @Stefan good point, the former representative of Harlem, the 9th district was a socialist and  though everything she said was true about affordable housing not being affordable and the usa pushing the war in ukraine. The truth is, if you are going to be another species other than elephant or donkey, you better be strong and determined or both will unite to crush you.

  7. @Chevdove

    well in terms of history, remember one key thing. France or england have one great historical commonality with the usa, all three are not indigenous. All three are born from the invaders side their enslaved who over a long bloody, raping, fucking history, create a community that makes a mythology of itself based on lies.

    @ProfD Netflix for most of its history was unprofitable financially and has learned how challenging it is to profit when you don't own a lot of well known content or have the industry to expose globally

    What it helped do was show people different sides of the issue of Black militancy from the perspective of the people.

    Did black people need to be shown different sides of the black militancy argument or non blacks?

    Quote

     your comments suggest the intent is the movie was to advocate for or glamorize militancy. 

    My comment is erroneous in terms of suggesting positive promotion of black militancy in the usa was the purpose of the film uptight.  

    Quote

     I don’t think that was the point of the film.

     

    I never thought a armed conflict in America today would be winnable or desirable.  As mentioned in uptight. Our oppressor has access to the military.
     

    In my mind uptight wasn't meant  to positively promote black militancy in the usa either, though how people relate to any artwork is open.

    In my mind the key is definitions or details when it comes to any of the many strategy based tribes in the black village in the usa.

    Quote


    That may be true, but they are a significant number of people who do. The popularity of the Black Panthers tells of that. 
     

    Radical change is what is needed in America.

    in my mind again, the definitions or details or particular populaces in the usa matter when it comes to how the usa relates to one of said populaces.

     

    @ProfD for the record my position isn't based on a thesis or idea, it is based on historical fact, not a thesis. It doesn't warrant interpretation

    @Chevdove most film historians, who spend their entire lives watching films,  at best have seen one percent of all films made. And that doesn't include the films that are unavailable through demolition or withering over the many years. Like books, like music, no one can experience it all in a lifetime, too many works have been made. Most people haven't heard of or seen most films.

    The question is who selects and who presents?  And it is no shame for a black person in a white country to not have control over the selection or presentation. 

     

  9. based on what I know of black leaders from 1865 to today, the following is a lie and doesn't state the main cause 

    Quote

    Mainly because most Black leaders knew militancy could have led to a race war resulting in the wholesale massacre of most AfroAmericans. 

     

    Even if they so desired. AfroAmericans would not have been able to amass enough weapons and bloodlust to launch a military campaign against their oppressors.

     

    Instead, AfroAmericans settled for integration, faith, hope and the belief that one day we'll all be free and that white folks would treat us fair and equal. 😎

    This tells me the film was definitely of potential benefit to the black community.

    People say birth of a nation revitalized the KKK, and ever since films have been given this position and grand movers, but I oppose that view. I love the arts and have been inspired or know others who have been inspired but the arts don't move communities. The arts are cover stories for communities desires in the usa. It wasn't the matrix that caused mass shooting. It wasn't birth of a nation that revitalized the KKK. Uptight even if every black person saw it in the 1960s wasn't going to lead to a militancy surge in the black community in the usa, for one simple reason. The majority in the black community in the usa have never advocated or supported black militancy. 

     

    Quote

     I thought the film did a good job illustrating the conflict in the Black community surrounding militancy. 

     

    Did it? That is what I meant about smart.  Communal activities like Black Militancy or Back to Africa or making a state in the usa have been in the black community in the usa since the usa was founded. Alongside, citizenry adoption into the usa. But, the majority in the black community in the usa has never, never,, never advocated militancy.

  11. @Troy

    You asked why this film isn't cited or as well known but it has many reasons, that in hindsight or cheap or easy to see.

    First, this is a movie directed by a white man, who was blacklisted as a enemy of the state.

    I don't know to what extent the fbi manipulated this film's life but that is in itself interesting.

    Second, Black militancy is not beloved in the black community in the usa. 

    Movies love to make it seem like every black home is a black panther cell waiting to happen but the truth is the nonviolent or christian communities in the black community  in the usa have always opposed black militancy  very strongly. This film, at the end of the day, treats black militancy as acceptable.  Not necessarily good or successful but acceptable. That makes it a nono to the black christian or black nonviolent community. And, white audiences will be blocked from viewing this by white media controllers. The visibility of acceptable black militancy is going to be quelled. In the same way, the white media controllers make sure the internet doesn't make the works of the senegalese Sembene known to more black folk. 

    Third, the black homosexual character will strike a negative for the extreme anti gay folk who existed without reproach at that time. 

     

    So I like the film, I wish it was smarter, but it has some strong truths in it.  

  12.  

     

     

    1:02 Thank you for saying the truth. I wonder what your thoughts are to non documentarian biopics influencing how people view identities in history?

     

    1:53 The movie was written by Stefani Robinson
    < https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/atlanta-writer-stefani-robinson-talks-female-creator-label-1130971/

    I Quote her
    "Being a woman is not in the forefront of my mind every second of every day. I am a woman, I live as a woman, and my perspective is most definitely female, but there’s this implication that for me (or women) to create a piece of work ?or put myself into the shoes of others, I have to somehow filter it ?through this resolute female mental block. It’s a contradiction, because I’m proud to be a woman and want females to be celebrated. But on the other hand, the focus on that sometimes feels a little condescending and demeaning."
    The problem with all artists who suggest araciality is they forget no artist has the ability to create absent bias. Bias isn't always negative. In Chevalier, her desire to show this competitive mulatto artist in France is from her own view, but the film could had went another way that may have achieved greater reception.

     

    I quote her again
    "Representation absolutely matters. The fact that I didn’t have many female TV writers to look up to when I was young is a big reason why I felt compelled to pursue ?my career. But I reject the idea that you can only tell a story if you’ve lived it. How clinical and boring. Artists should have the freedom to explore anything that moves. But this also demands that everyone is allowed a seat at the table.?"
    The problem with many of my fellow artists is they confuse labels with restrictions.  And they confuse the ability to tell a story with the ability to tell a story with a perspective that will reach out to all. I am black, male, hetero, anglo <the language i primarily speak is english>. Does this mean I can't write a story inspired by don quixote? of course not. Am I from spain? no. Do I speak spanish? no. But I can still write a story about don quixote. BUT, if I am free to wrtie what I want will my culture emit through my telling of don quixote? yes. And of course, what will the commercial quality of my work be? well, that is a complicated question but at the end of the day, do those who are interested in my work or variants of don quixote have a large enough quantity and, will my work be able to attract those who are not interested in my work or don quixote? 
    I have been writing my entire life, I have no bounds, but just because I can create whatever I want doesn't mean commercially it is viable? And based on what she has written in the past, has she shown viability in the genre of biopics? And to the movie, after chevalier, would you pay for her to write another? 
    This is the key between all artists creativity side commerciality. 
    Edgar Allen Poe, a white man , died poor, and not financially grand. Mark Twain wasted fortunes made from books with various ventures, but earned a lot of money. But today, many more know more references of Poe over Twain. Does it make either artist bad creatively? no. Does it mean either artists has different qualities commercially  ? yes
    Opportunity to make profit is rare for all artists but when given an opportunity if you fail to make money, you fail. And even if statistics are skewed or augmented to emphasize failures unfairly, it is up to the artists to keep creating. 
    I paraphrase <I am typing one go , no checking> the preface of the play , The Escape by William Wells Brown
    "This play was written for my own amusement , and not with the remotest thought that it would ever be seen by the public eye. I read it privately, however to a circle of my friends, and through them was invited to read it to a Literary Society . Since then, the drama has been given in various parts of the country. By the earnest solicitation of some in whose judgement I have the greatest confidence, I now present it in a printed form to the public. As I never aspired to be a dramatist, I ask no favor for it, and have little or not solicitude for its fate. If it is not readable, no word of mine can make it so; if it is, to ask favor for it would be needless"
    And I paraphrase, same as before WEB Dubois, who isn't my favorite writer , but is true sometimes.
    "The Negro today fears any attempt of the artist to paint Negroes. He is not satisfied unless everything is perfect and proper and beautiful and joyful and hopeful. He is afraid to be painted as he is, lest his human foibles and shortcomings be seized by his enemies for the purposes of the ancient and hateful propoganda"

    My two points using the two paraphrases above < and I apologize for all this preaching, my own preaching does sicken me> is first,  to emphasize an eternal truth, whether in the late 1800s or on MArs circa 2672, Black artists, like all other artists in humanity,  are totally free to create whatever we want, but that doesn't mean we warrant or must be given opportunity to profit from it; and , second, that Black DOS artist, like all other artists in humanity, need to feel no shame in admitting thier culture , including all of its unique ways, like being the only people forced to immigrate to the american continent and enslaved in it. 

     

    3:33 That is a great artistic question from Nike. In films concerning characters in history, the film industry has common aspects. For example, anytime a white jewish character  is in film at the time period commonly called world war II, significant time is always, always given to concentration camp life for jews,always. I have personally witnessed in many writing groups, black writers desire an end to the mentioning of enslavement to whites in the usa or the european colonies that preceded it. And I comprehend the source of this artistic movement. Black DOSers have a problem. We are the only group that was forced to immigrate and exist enslaved in the usa, the only one, so no oher group in the usa has our fiscal /governmental/cultural path in the usa, no other group. In the arts this is played out whenever slavery is displayed. So to be apart of the usa en large, if black people simply dismiss our enslavement in the arts, we are internally moving from it to join the other groups in the usa. Enslavement to whites will always be a historical fact, but the arts have the ability to create perceptions to the past, ala Bastille day in france or the october revolution in russia are prime examples. The french republic didn't start at bastille day , but those in power in france wanted to create a living myth that the french republic was started at the time marie antoinnette lost her head. But it isn't true, monarchism thrived long after the bastille was stormed ala Napolean and his descendents. And same to Russia, the February revolution is where the Czar really lost it, and he chose to step down willingly, the legislative body of russia , like in most governments with a highly   multiracial populace was unable to finda center where non exist, which is perfectly human, and thus led to more chaos later that year in october. But, this is the power of modern myths, designed to make more complicated stories simple. It is easier to say, France rid itself of monarchy with the chopping of marie antoinette's head, it is easier to say the russian monarchy was blindsided by the power of the peasants, it is easier to say the usa is the land of the free and the home of the brave merely with the signing of a declaration of independence. Bullshit. 

     

    3:47 Joseph Bologne was lucky. The reality is, many Black artist like to use rare black examples and tout that as the story to emphasize in a time. Were all black people ensalved to whites in the european colonies that became the UA? no , but does that mean the story of land owning blacks needs to be emphasized over the over ninety percent of black people completely enslaved to whites? I say no. Robinson chose to do what I heard in black writing circles many black writers suggest, I quote :"why do we have to talk about slavery all the time". The majority in any community dictates most of their narrative, the black community in the usa his an anaomaly in that the minority in the black community in the usa tedns to try to dictate the larger narrative. Ala the talk about human equality , fighting for freedom, being statian <allegiance to the usa> , and many philosophies stem from the black minority in the black community in the usa, in opposition to the black majority in the usa which is historically or modernly, anti white, anti usa, pro segregation, yes seperate while equal. Note: Remember, the plantation is a form of integration. 

     

    6:10 yes, mullato is little mule. The Casta is something started by spain and this is where the terms, mestizo/mullatto/alvino/quadroon/octoroon come from. The problem with Casta is that it is a natural insulting system. Think of the Caste system in india. People like the Dalit are deemed less than by others in the more potent castes. It is an automatic insult. Saying Mulatto wasn't like saying Nigger. It is more like when someone is called black in the usa and they say, why do you have to call me black. It goes back to the writer and that philosophy or human equality. Don't call someone by a label, call someone by how they want to be referred to. So not the black dancer who made thriller but michael jackson who made thriller. The problem is not everyone is insulted when called mulatto. In South America, the simon bolivar side others were proud mestizoes, which is word kin to mulatto. For the record: mestizo is white parent side native american <regardless of native american phenotype> , Mulatto is white side black <regardless of geographic lineage, so native american or african or asian>, albino or quadroon is someone with morisco and white european <morisco parents are white and mulatto, mullatos paretns are white european and black> , octoroon is from a quadroon with another white european parent. Someone like rebecca hall, director of the film passing basedon the book by nella larson falls somewhere in that range of octorron and quadroon.

    Is Casta or terms from it like Mulatto based on genetics , no. It is science, or knowledge, but it is based on lineage. And why does lineage matter historically? law plus inheritance. This is why the descendent of Gannibal <a statue of him is in russia today>, Alexander Pushkin <russians know this writer in russian literary circles> own descedents are all white.

     You may scoff at my going through this but do the research on their lives and you will notice their background had influence on their rank or inheritance. It is that simple. 
    What is the problem? In modernity in the USa, the aracial philosophy that many aspire to, suggest that any system that disallows individuals is by default an extremely negative system. The Casta/Lineages determining inheritances all are against individual rights, which is what the writer by her own words above champions and it appears in her screenplay. But it is misplaced in the context of France during Joseph Bologne's time. Said France isn't the USA 2023. White people in France duing said time did not freely intermarry with each other. The caste/rank/lineage mattered to those with money, rightyl or wrongly, so to suggest a modern sentiment is a falsehood historically. But, is artistically acceptable. But notice it is both and how that relates commercially. This movie didn't shake up the world.

     

    7:43 yes, European countries in the 1700s , 1800s , had very small black populaces, so small the term negligible can be applied. And in Europe, the peasant, the descendant of the White statian was the lowest class. And to be blunt, while blacks could never be considered royals in europe at that time, i argue, from Gannibal to Thomas Alexandre, while they were never regals in europe, to suggest they lived liked white peasants in europe is a lie. And I argue, that modern Black people living in white countries: usa or in western europe, falsely attribute to them an equality goal when I think they merely did what all did in the regale system of europe which is social climb. 99% knew they will never be the crowned but the goal of all was to reach for it. And the playground in between the regale and the no name peasant is where the action was. 

    8:50 yes that was a funny modernity. BUt I will say this, if that conversation did happen, I would had loved to hear that back in the day. 
    Pourquoi n'epouser pas un Africain ? 

     

    10:30 exactly or white peasants. 

     

    10:46 yes, the white father in marie antoinette's time gave the black father after ronald reagan in the usa time speech, very tropy:) of  Robinson, I wish  I knew if that was true.

     

    12:46 To be fair, Europe had a long history of art destroying, ala bonfires, through religious movements or wars and the period commonly called the french revolution <remember bastille day is a lie> was chaotic to no end.

     

    14:46 yes at the end of the day I see in chevalier, Robinson as a fellow artist who by her own admission is contained in a multiracial while unfair media environment <hollywood> or country <usa> stating how the strategy of non violent artistically endeavored growth is a tradition for black people in white countries and the friction that provides said black folk with their phenotypical peers <like his mother who questions his intents or desires> or the white people with whom he wants to be embrace <marie antoinette's court>. 
    Now none of his life is easily confirmed. But, from what I comprehend from a distance, the real guimard, whom he spurned, had influence over the court and undermined him in getting the opera position. While, the real Marie Josephine was abandonned by her husband in real life. I wonder why Robinson chose the style of interpreting them. For someone so interested in universalism, why not admit the woman Chevalier snubbed, Guimard, the daughter of an out of wedlock relationship some call love child, was bitter and worked against him. Robinson makes her more of an after thought when I think a great lesson in their relationship of two people born into low classes where he rejects and in her bitterness as any woman may have, used her influence to go against him a little.  While the woman he supposedly wanted, married to an Soldier engineer but a man whose financial fortunes went up and down, had a baby whose destiny is unknown. Robinson choses to caricature Marc Rene into a Simon Legree light. 
    I could be totally wrong on the history of Bologne but if what I know from gossip is true, I think how she constructed the relationship between the Chevalier side Guimaud/Marie Josephine/MArie Antoinette is her free artistic choice but doesn't align to her publicized viewpoints. I do think the mugging of him side his friend which is actually on record, though the source is uncertain, would had been a great tool to the power of universalism. 


    Bologne fenced more and had, to be blunt, more complicated affairs than Robinson lets on and denies Bologne's life, even in a fictional nondocumentarian interpretation, the seat at the table or the absence of a filter she says she warrants or can provide as an artist in her modern workplace.
