Somewhere else online I commented the many I thought of , no rank.
I will use the following as my entry. My reason is not for ranking, but it is self contained, it isn't in the context of a feature length film so any of you can watch the whole things.
Directed: Oliver Schmitz <a white man>
Lead Thespians: Aïssa Maïga side Seydou Boro
@Chevdove fatgirlz is a great shout, very uncommon romance on screen in many ways

@Stefan the truth is never evil or good. Humans react to the truth in varying ways.
I oppose all of your assertions outside of two: a viciousness does exists in NYC, landlords are kicking people out of homes even after they received some back rent.
All I can say to the landlords actions is the consistency in NYC from them, for hundreds of years in that way. If the question is how to stop a centuries old tradition. I offer that pulpit for any to take on.
To visciousness , NYC has always been a city of many faults, many problems. The question is, what is to be considered acceptable in financial activity outside of making profit, when an activity is only meant for profit? I offer that pulpit.

Fear and Respect, written and directed by John Singleton, starring SNoop Dogg, the game that was not finished developing. Should BlackGamesElite take a crack at its theme?

I thought long and hard and I couldn't see a clear winner. I checked my nintendo 3ds that still has a ton of games on it, all played to the hilt:)and I decided Box Boy + Box GirlI never bought the 4th game but I went to the end of all the box boy games on the DS era, and I enjoyed them all very much.

Kurt Zouma is a black athlete. He kicked a cat and made a video of it. Adidas terminated their shoe deal with him.
Years before Eden HAzard a white athlete. Kicked a ball boy and he didn't lose his shoe deal.
Years before Luis Suarez a mestizo athlete. Achieved multiple incidents of biting another player. He didn't lose his Adidas shoe deal and Adidas publicly stated, I paraphrase, they talked and the player comprehends the standards of adidas.
I end my examples that show incongruity.
This question I have in this post isn't about the incidents or the actions of adidas.
If a firm has the right to maintain or destroy a relationship based on a whim or financial assessment or culture or anything it see fit, I pose the following question.
Will the signal of a black owned firm operating in a similar matter, absent any congruency, be the best sign of black empowerment , in a humanity dominated by fiscal capitalism?

@Mel Hopkins I meant for the aalbc author series idea. But, you are not writing anything story based at the moment.
the problem is I don't think I have composed anything worth adding to readingblack, I can be wrong. But I joined the group.
-
@Mel Hopkins great point, exactly, promotion always count, thus my aalbc author series idea. maybe I will go on your lulu, to start this thing rolling with you. IF you are interested.
I only bought one book through am*zon, a cool writer, an efriend, recently spirit flew away so I bought his book, i will do reading of his work for free.

@Stefan one problem exists, the point of this post from @Troy is the return of ebony magazine who themselves said is going to have a print form. so, me asking if any print based magazines make money when a magazine is being rebooted with a print form by the admission of its owners is , in my view, common sense. I asked Troy as we were debating the strategies for Ebony to be successful, we were not debating whether anyone was ignorant or stating anyone was ignorant about the modern publishing industry.

I buy paper books. I know many who do. But I think paper based books industry will not include retail sales. I think the future of paper based books is in libraries, or with specific communities with publications that cater to them. Yes, I know examples exists of fiction/magazines/newspapers/perodicals that statistically show financial growth or at least stability. But overall I think the paper based book industry while it will grow will not grow in the direct sales way. Whereas the same books in ebook or audiobook, will grow.
So thoughts for all the authors /artists in this group

@ProfD I apologize if my words suggest I am affronted.

@ProfD I quote myself
Quotehow do you turn a profit and what is your goal?
Every comment I made in this post concerns the owners of Ebony magazine or the magazine itself. I never said the black rich do not exist in the usa or black people in the usa do not have buying power.
Why did you write
QuoteThere is enough money within the black community to keep Ebony magazine afloat financially. Also, there is enough black wealth that the magazine could be FREE.
I don't recall saying anything suggesting as such. now when you said
QuoteThe major challenge is getting folks to sponsor, subscribe and read it
That relates to my position in each comment in this entry. I think it isn't a major challenge. I think it is the challenge of any magazine. The new owners of ebony will display thier goal. if they are wise they choose a narrow goal.

-
@ProfD so you want Ebony Magazine to be a torch bearer for a communal viewpoint. Ok. I don't know if the new owners have the financial power to sustain that but ok
@Troy I asked black enterprise on twitter, I don't know if they will reply. It seems like they are all digital but may have a legacy paper print version that is closed to new folk.
-
@Troy yes troy, I know some of those magazines. Black enterprise is successful. It has many black people who buy it but it does cater to a specific tribe in the village. I repeat myself, Ebony need to do likewise.

I will enjoy if any actually read the body of this post... I am not asking the question in the title, so please don't answer it.
My prose
The question in the title was asked by someone and I thought to myself, that is not a functional question. Teaching history should be taught wherever it can be. But, a functional question is, what is the goal of education to the masses? I rephrase the question, are black people right to think education gives access to a power more potent than the sword?
At the end of the day, usa history proves that money or education aren't really important long term. what is important is who is willing to kill to get what they want or who is not?
White people were willing to annihilate or enslave many so that they and their descendents could have more than anybody else. Many whites died in that ambition. But, the eventual survivors and their descendents could and do have more than anybody else.That is the blunt truth.
Now to my question, whose answers are the purpose of this post <let's see if any of you read this post well>
I maintain that education is a necessary action in life but does history prove the black community has falsely given education a potency it doesn't have?
