I will never forget, how one day on the 6 o'clock news one day, a few years ago, the reaction of a national news reporter. He was an African AMerican man and sitting next to him was a Blonde-haired, White woman, anchor news reporter. And for some reason, the subject of Black women wearing hair weaves came up briefly. The Black man jokingly said, that he could easily tell when Black women are wearing hair weaves or hair extentions, and the news woman responded and said, "Really? I am wearing hair weaves and, I have always been wearing hair extensions because my hair is very thin." LOL. I will never forget that Black man's reaction. His head snapped to the left, and his jaw became unhinged. He was so shocked. And the White woman news anchor continued to look straight forward into the camera, with a slight smile and he said, "REally?" ... ANd, he said nothing else, he was just speechless... LOL. Some Black men are so shallow and do not even realize how they have been conditioned to view Black women in a negative light and they are used as tools to oppress Black women for issues that are not even thought of in any other culture. Black African women have been depicted in ancient times wearing braided hair extensions and wigs and, White [ie ASiatic] women have also been depicted in ancient times doing the same. I have roomed with several White girls and etc. and know that they wear hair extensions a lot, but they do not become ridiculed on the level that Black women have been in sitcoms and such. Today, just about every White women and non-African actresses you see on television probably has hair extensions because their hair can get very thin. The actress beauty queen, Daisy Fuentas [sp] became a norm on tv as she demonstrated how easy it is for straight-haired women to put in hair extensions. It is so sad to see how some Black men have been used to exploit Black women. I do believe though, that some Black people have an obssession for wanting to have non-African traits though, not only when it comes to hair, but other things too, and I believe that this should definitely be addressed. But in many regards, women wear wigs and hair extensions as an enhancement and not because of having issues with SElf-Hatred.

@Pioneer1 You're right! You bring back to mind too, how it was here, in America though, when I was young. I was normal for kids to hold hands. I remember that me and my sister always did that. When we had to walk to our elementary school in Pennsylvania and as it was snowing, we would take turns leading each other because it was difficult to open our eyes with the snow hitting us in the face. So, we held hands and took turns, and then we held hands all the time when we walked. Brothers and sisters, brothers and brothers would hold hands and walk. I remember my best friend and I, in 3rd grade, in Charleston, SC, would always hold hands. And, other little girls would do this while playing at recess on the play ground and walking home after school. And, it was normal to see older kids still do this in the past. But, perhaps because of how America has permeated our societies with homosexuality and such, I guess, this kind of 'body language' has been altered to have different connotations and is not as common as it was in the past. But yes, as you said, it is still a normal practice to see East Indian woman walking and holding hands.

Edit: comment 1:07 was actually 1:30 min mark and about 1:33 min in Part IV.

From the Hi-to-Low ~ The Great little deluge Oh gosh! I got side tracked and stayed up all night recently because of an unexpected hunger to watch documentaries. And the reason why my interest became peaked was due to an earlier choice I had made to watch one of my old DVD series that touched upon this certain subject. I had filed these particular DVDs away in storage because, in the past when I began to watch them, my husband constantly expressed that they were not one of his favorites at all. I have never been a serious television addict but ever so often I do like to watch certain shows and I had only watched one episode while this series was aired on television more than about fifteen years ago; The Reba Show. So years later after it went off the air, I decided to buy two Reba DVD series on sale at Walmart back in 2009 but, I only watched a few episodes until I decided to store them away. But for some reason, I just recently became in the mood to pull them out of storage again. I waited until my husband went out of the room and decided to quietly watch some episodes so as not to draw attention because I just didn’t want to here his rants about ‘why he didn’t care for the show’. But after a few episodes, one certain episode caught me off guard and caused me to burst out in laughter. Barbara Jean had broke out of the kitchen wearing corn rolls and hair extensions in her head with the bling bling on and, she was boppin and make head gestures, and other ethnic gestures and commenting like a Black woman. I tried so hard to contain my amusement, but it was like one thing after another, and I was bursting out and hollering through the whole show. And the guest, one of my favorite actresses, Jo Marie Payton, from the show, Family Matters, was on this episode as well. That was one of the funniest shows I had ever watched. In one scene, Barbara Jean was attentively playing cards with the black folk in Reba’s living room and when the character ‘Brock’ came through the front door, she got up and bopped over to meet him and called him her ‘White Chocolate’ and, she later walked back into the kitchen and complained that she needed an aspirin because she had a headache, while she pressed her corn rolls so as to ease the tension in her head. However, there happens to be a down side to this show. I came to realize that the theme revolved around the past devastating disaster, hurricane Katrina. So then, I went from an Hi to a Lo point very quickly. After the show was over, I decided to research some updates and to my shock, I came across several documentaries that reveal to me events that I had never realized. And as one celebrity, Sean Penn, commented, this dynamic flood catastrophe that occurred in August 2005, now brings to my mind the Biblical Noah’s flood. It seems like a Great-little deluge. Even though, there are so many more devastating catastrophes that happened not long after this hurricane Katrina that was officially reported to have caused the deaths of about 1800 people, such as the great tsunami in Indonesia on December 26, 2005 and this recent hurricane Michael in October 2018, nevertheless, certain aspects of it makes Katrina very unique in my opinion. Even though there were other reports of previous hurricanes in that some surveys consider to be much worse than Katrina for various reasons, however, it would be this hurricane that still causes me to believe that it should be listed as the worst one to at least have happened here in the States. I believe that each hurricane force winds that has made landfall would be unique in and of itself, but after viewing one documentary after another recently, I still believe Katrina has made an historical landmark in America due to many circumstances that makes it be in sort of like a class by itself. There are several awesome documentaries about this hurricane Katrina, and each one of them highlighted unique aspects of this horrific ordeal, but one of the most compelling documentaries that I watched was Spike Lee’s ‘When the Levies Broke a requiem in four acts’. In this film a wide variety of people were interviewed from dramatic eyewitness accounts to well-known activist, ministers, celebrities, musicians, politicians, high ranking military personnel, and expert professionals. One of the many comments that struck me was from Garland Robinette, a Radio Host for WWL when he commented that [paraphrasing] ‘it is indescribable in how Black people were treated and even after almost nine (9) years later, it stuns me to this day’. Like this man, who even though he was White, there were so many other White people interviewed that became brought to the brink of tears as they passionately spoke about the racism against the Black African American victims of hurricane Katrina. This hurricane seems to bring out the best and worst in people from many different aspects. In part III at about the 13-minute mark, Dr. Ben Marble, ER Physician of Biloxi, Mississippi, exploded and abruptly cut off the former Vice President Dick Chaney, and later retorted [paraphrasing] that he did not want to hear comments just to make a photo opt to make himself look good’. He continued to say, ‘where was he three days before when everyone was dying in New Orleans’. Also at some point, Soledad O’Brien of CNN ripped into an official and spoke against the former president Bush on the same lines. She said [paraphrasing] that food, water and supplies were air dropped for the victims of the Sri Lanka tsunami victims two days later, but it had been five days and thousands of people were in the dome and had no food or water. She continued to passionately state that Bush was in Iraq when the people in New Orleans were suffering and that it was definitely a disservice in the name of racism against Black people. This documentary had me on the edge of my seat, so-to-speak and even though it was a lengthy series, that showed shocking scenes that made me depressed, on the other hand, even in this disparity, it took me, at times, from a Low to a High point. Throughout the entire series, there were two women that seen to carry the entire series and they would each continue to be interviewed at certain intervals throughout the whole film, and their comments were so abrupt and hilarious so that it was impossible for me to lose interest. It was a Black Afro-American woman named Phyllis and a White woman named Cheryl and both of their comments throughout the film was so blunt and raw, that I couldn’t help but laugh. In part IV at about the 1:07 minute mark, Cheryl was asked a question, and even though it was obvious that she was stressed out of her mind because of not receiving needed federal intervention, her response almost made me fall out of my chair; They need to offer that woman to start a career as a stand-up comedian. Cheryl made all of her comments with a straight face, however, she took me from a dark gloomy mood to being bowled over with laughter. Both she and Phyllis showed the gut-wrenching reaction of being pushed over the limit and seem to be able to show the emotions that many others probably felt but did not express. The Louisiana State Representative, Karen Carter made so many important comments about disparity of Black men and the response of the officials or lack thereof. Celebrity activist Harry Belafonte was also interviewed as well as Wynton Marsalis, and so many others. And so, after watching this series, it led me to search for more and more. I had no idea of the full impact of this storm of which I now believe still continues even after almost fifteen years. And as it was also stated, even though the official fatalities have been listed as being about 1800, this number could well be much larger. Due to many victims who are still unaccounted for, the death count cannot possibly be accurate. Many people were told by ‘search and rescue officials’ that their loved ones were not inside their homes, and these people would go inside, and in fact, they found their relatives there inside dead. Little children were able to look and see many dead bodies that lay in the streets for weeks and, many of these bodies remained unclaimed and unknown. Even today, many people have never found out about their missing loved ones. As one interviewer stated, this disaster was almost like watching what happened in the Rwanda Genocide. Why has not our government brought this kind of information to the forefront of our educational system? Just as Karen Carter stated [paraphrasing] ‘the disparity of Black men [and woman] is a direct result of the American Educational System’ or, lack thereof’.

I am so very happy about Jay Z doing this kind of work and putting this kind of attention in this regard!

@Pioneer1 I'm not sure. I have not been in Florida long enough to know for sure. I think it is significant but, I have heard comments more than actually seeing a lot. I see people holding hands and walking around that appear to be homosexuals, but I really don't look that much. I just remember hearing a lot about Florida when I was young. But @Troy is right, I believe. What big city is not like Florida?

@CyniqueYes, I remember hearing the news report once about Aurora Borealis at some point in 2000s and, I vaguely remember it being said that this was somewhat visible, from my point-of-view in north carolina, but it would be more visible for people in the 'more' northern part of the hemisphere. I agree! Yes, a lot of people believe that the Bible is 'a book of fables' like you. Perhaps the 'supeior intelligence at work' will one day reveal itself, but so far after thousands of years of human existence, I am not going to hold my breath that 'it' will up and reveal itself without some sort of script or hand us any solid proof or written proof or evidence that will be incorporated into this American educational system, unless of course, this 'superior intelligence at work' is a White ... cause if it is any thing other than White, then it will probably be altered into being 'white' or fabled or etc. So far, White people have not proven to me that they know the source of how the sun came to be, or how we as humans came to be or the beginning of reproduction or evolution... So far Black people or any one else on earth has been able to solve these mysteries...

@Pioneer1 Are you saying that you see 'drunk Caucasian men' fight each other and Caucasian blood relatives, like White brothers fight each other? In Sanford and Orlando, there are a lot of Haitians... alot. But also, I don't know if Haitians and Carribeans are a part of the trend in Florida, but Homosexuality and Lesbianism is rampant amongst the Black people. Homosexuality and Lesbianism is really significant in Florida. I was pretty surprised to see this, and it made me remember way back when, hearing about Florida and gay right protesting. BLACKS and GAY rights were always linked together... I think it is strange though,... why Florida? Why was Florida a hotspot back in the 60s for this issue, now fast forward... and here we are... under a law!!!---via a Black president. Go figure.

@TroyI don't know if it is worth it, because after I took pics, I have to enlarge it in order to see it, but I will experiment to see if I can. Now that is a rare treat! Years ago, I sa a comet too, because of the news reports. This comet stayed in the sky and was viewable for weeks and even during the day time for some viewers. I agree. Back in the early 2000s, I did too. I was able to see this meteor shower viewing it right next to my house. Me and a lot of neighborhood kids stayed out all night into the morning looking at it and it was amazing! The meteor shower is called the LEONIDS and was in November and it was warm enough outside so that we did not get sick, as we laid on the ground in the street looking up!

Truth!

I remeber reading everything I could get my hands on about this case. It is gripping. I hope to be able to read your book. Best Regards!

@TroyThat is awesome! I did too! but my pic is nothing like yours. I took a pic of it eclipsing with my phone and two of them actually came out pretty good. I was surprised. yes, there will be more! I dozed off too and bolted up... I've missed some before because I couldn't stay awake. I missed this past recent meteor shower. But it supposedly only lasted an hour and heard it was cloudy anyway.

Yes, I stayed up! I saw it and it was beautiful. At first, I didn't think the moon would turn red. When it began to eclipse, it remained illuminated and then darkened by and by, but when it became almost completely eclipsed, it became a dark reddish-orange color. And it remained this reddish hue for almost a complete hour! Once, I saw a total lunar eclipse years ago, in Durham, North Carolina, and it became full not long after 6:00 PM and it was low and at an angle in the sky, but this one became full when it was straight up over head. It was almost midnight when it reached totality.

LOOK UP! I just thought it would be cool to share this tidbit. If I can catch the news and hear the information about upcoming eclipses tht we might be able to see over here in America, it could be a learning experience in getting better understanding of how eclipses occur. There will be a total lunar eclipse tonight and supposedly viewable in North AMerica... if the clouds don't cover it. Another arrangement like this one is not suppose to occur until over a decade later, I think. And, this one is also a supermoon. Even though this aspect will not be obious, one site explained it pretty well, in that I can understand it. The site said that imagine holding a baseball and a tennis ball in front of you. The size different is obvious, but if it is far away, then it is not so obvious. That is what this particular Supermoon will be in relation to its position with our earth and the sun.

Yes, I agree that many of them are confused, and that is the sad part, because no sound Black Voice is helping them to not be confused, and this is how they are being exploited. true LOL! No Wait a minute! LOL. Maybe they re-defined this term as they have done in other cases but, this word 'MENTOR' goes back to ancient KEMET, BLACKS! The pharaoh named MENTUHOTEP [ie. MONTU] is one name that shows this origin. It stems from IMHOTEP, and the pharaohs developed a father-son apprenticeship, whereby the heir chosen to become pharaoh would MENTOR the pharaoh as the kings saw themselves as MENTORS to the great high priest IMHOTEP. so true

@Troy Yes! Thank you! That is the correct word 'ADAPTATION'. Yes, I see this in Boston happening all the time!!!--White college kids, and adults actually walking around in the snow, with flip flops and shorts!!! I am NOT kidding. But then, there are other white folks that are like Blacks, in tht they wrap up and get cold too. I lived in a townhome with white girls and etc. and it is true, that they tolerate cold temperatures extremely well, more so than Blacks on the average. ANd this is scientifically defined so, that should not be hard to understand. Like Neanderthals, scientist even say that due to this admixture that Europeans express in their DNA, their skin is much thicker than people of African descent and this is a direct connection to how they can tolerate cold temperatures better than darker skinned people. that is true. I agree that BLack people tan. I know I do. But @Troy spoke about 'skin burning'. I agree in some cases, but not for the mutation of BLUE EYES. White people who are Supremacist want to view BLUE EYES as being 'an upgrade' and want to view dark traits as being negative. But the MUTATION OF BLUE EYES still today carry a lot of defects! Many people who have blue eyes are also COLOR BLIND and have many other issues due to this mutation. So, in the case of BLUE EYES, it is definitely NOT an upgrade. It is definitely beneficial, though.

@Troy Oh! okay. Yes, now, I do watch the clips that you put up. And, my sons told me that Boondocks was good. I also watch the clip you put up of In Living Color. And it was hilarious! I also clicked another clip on that one, and saw a sketch with the late Vandross, and it was also too funny! You know, I do agree that white people were affect but here's my IMO on this; From the Black perspective, it really doesn't matter to us, except that we should know how this process of Whitewashing us is orchestrated. Many of the masses of lower class white people are sacrificed too, but solely to deceive us!!!--into believing in the desired 'movement'. White Supremacy goes back far in time, than most Black people are willing to believe, IMO. And, when it comes to white people being sacrificed for the sake of 'our' acceptance of Homosexuality, it is sad and unfortunate and I don't like it either. But, it is the origin of homosexuality that also becomes problematic for white people and why they would definitely be affected on a wide scale. This phenomena begins before the African CIVILIZATIONS FORMED. It stems from a mutation and a mutated-intersexed origin and Black people are NOT ORIGINALLY an intersexed-mutation! We stem from an ANATOMICALLY MALE and FEMALE presence during the time of AFRICAN CIVILIZATIONS. This is issue is so crucial to understand. We are being forced to accept something that is NOT apart of our physical body makeup for the most part. Yes, there are a significan number of Brown Africans that are born intersexed today, but it comes from being intermixed today with Europeans who have the higher percentage of birth rates of being born intersexed. STELLA WALSH of the 1936 Olympics Now, the media pushes Semana and so the hype of the past has been overshadowed, but the scientific facts about the birthrates of Europeans born intersexed is far above any African percentages because of the origins of this phenomena does not begin with Africans. STELLA WALSH of 1936 Olympics

I watch that video. Since I've joined this community, this was the first time I've seen any videos of Boondock or In Living Color. I made a delibarte decision NOT to watch certain shows. My sons watched Boondocks, so now I know what they've been watching. I had my babies and raise them beginning with the 90s. So now, this video is pretty accurate but it did not help the Black adults of yesterday teach this Y-generation for the most part. This Black Live Matter Movement seems to go along with the homosexual laws of today and this video outcome of the White system infiltrating this issue very well. This White Supremacy Movement of Homosexuality is heavily supported by Black Americans, both men and women of tday. IMO, this movement began 400 years ago and then as a result of the Prison system. And, the part that strikes me, although not highlighted in this video, is the issue of PEDOPHILIA that piggy backs on this homosexual movement in the Black world.

I don't view a mutation as an upgrade. But nonetheless, some mutations are beneficial.

I have had dreams like falling but never hitting the ground. I was told that if you eat late and then go right to sleep, this may cause nightmares and this is the case for me at times. But, I do believe that some dreams are symbolic.

It does.

A PHOTO~ THE ORIGINAL BLACK AFRICANS & JEWS IN THE EAST & NORTHEAST: ABKHAZIA There is so much HIDDEN HISTORY that has not been a part of our Western Civilization Educational System and this information about the ABKHAZIA would be just one of many missing pieces. At once, I thought that this term did not apply to the Original Jews or Israel [ie the Ten Tribes; Joseph] but I stumbled across some information recently, that causes me to have to do some more research. I thought the term KHAZITE, and KHAZIA referred to ethnic people of the MEDIEVAL time in the east and northeast world that marked a distinct kind of people that later became associated with Jews of the Crimea in the nodeast [ie northeast] world but in some text, it does seem to reveal the presence of ancient Israel too. Also, the term ABKHAZIA seems to be more correct as in the terms ‘Aboriginal’, ‘Abyssinian’, ‘Abraham’, ‘Absalom’, ‘Abigail’, ‘Abner’ and etc. of which refers to ‘original and indigenous Black people’, but still, the present information does not specify the origin of the term ‘KHAZIA’ completely. The following photo and reference of these obviously BLACK AFRICAN-TYPED PEOPLE OF THE NORTHEAST may help to eventually get the whole truth: An African man in Karabakh. Photo by George Kennan, 1870. https://www.georgianjournal.ge/pictures/image2/028196a23af6a7ef6436aa21c6f122cb.jpeg “Abkhazian Negros” were completely driven out of Georgia by communist in the 1930’s. Nicknamed “black men” by locals, a small group of them used to live in the village of Adzyubzha. https://www.georgianjournal.ge/society/29814-how-black-people-came-to-abkhazia.html By Unknown - livejournal.com, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=8701583 Photo of Afro-Abkhazian family from "Caucasus. Volume I. The peoples of the Caucasus", St. Petersburg., Kovalevsky P. I., 1914, Afro-Abkhazians, or Abkhazians of African descent, also known as African Caucasians, were a small group of people of African descent in Abkhazia, [1] who used to live mainly in the settlement Adzyubzha at the mouth of the Kodori River and the surrounding villages (Chlou, Pokvesh, Agdarra, and Merkulov) on the eastern coast of the Black Sea in Eastern Europe. [2][5] _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Of course, since this technology of a photo dates these people to be close to the time that the FEZ eventually became outlawed in ancient Anatolia where the Ottoman Turkish government used a lot of conquered SELJUK TURKS to constantly war in the west in East Europe, this would be an amazing connection to the past during the medieval times all the way back to the CRUSADES. The ancient warrior, Seljuk, and founder of the SELJUK EMPIRE in the AD 1000s and that dominated Turkey Anatolia for about 200 years connects to this term KHAZITE in that some report that he may have been a soldier in the Khazite army. He had four sons that he named MOSES, ISRAEL, JOHN, and MICHAEL and, from this man came the Great Tugrul and later Alp Arslan and etc. And Seljuk the warrior and his people were written in script under many titles such as THE KARAITES [ie KERAITE JEWS], OGHURS, ONOGURS, TEN ARROWS, TURKIC, BLUE TURKS and etc., terms that were not a part of our educational system. These terms link these Seljuk Turks to being enslaved in the far east and eventually, they broke off from TENGRISM and migrated to Central Asia and adopted Islam. Soon, after many other conflicts, they split off again and became connected to Christianity. However, historians today still offer vague information of how these Turkish warriors became the very focus that led to the Western World to start the CRUSADES. Prior to the Crusades and before the Seljuks overpowered the Byzantine massive forces, the Byzantine government was in constant conflicts with the ethnic world in the west which was ‘East Europe’ and in the east where the Seljuks Turks resided. At one point, the emperor Romanos began to persecute the Jews and so, there was a Khazite man named JOSEPH that retaliated. The Byzantines constantly conflicted with the Thracians, Slavs and Bulgarians and these ethnic people were connected to the Turks of the east too! Prior to the Mongolian Empire that overthrew them, the Seljuk Turk homelands became INNER MONGOLIA. These Black warriors initially had begun to operate a far flung trade route from their lands to Egypt but soon, they became enraged by the Fatimid system in Egypt. At this time, their capital became known as Merv. But, for some reason, they became re-routed and thus directed their attention up in Turkey Anatolia. So while the Seljuk Turks were warring up in the north, Saladin was warring down in the south in and around Jerusalem and across North Africa. But, the story we, as African Americans, here does not include these kinds of details. We only here about the Arab Movement of which occurred after the Black African-typed men started warring. The Karaites, the Islamic men, the Abbasid Caliphat and the original Muslims came together at some point and the Pentateuch, the First Five Books of Moses, became their scriptural focus. There seems to be a lot more missing pieces to this puzzle. http://www.tppra.org/sites/default/files/news/1_171.jpg The ethnic origin of the Abkhazians of African descent—and how Africans arrived in Abkhazia—is still a matter of dispute among experts. Historians agree that the settlement of Africans in a number of villages in the village of Adzyubzha in Abkhazia (then part of the Ottoman Empire) is likely to have happened in the 17th century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abkhazians_of_African_descent *****My Note; the 17th century means AD 1600s***** … They opined that the Ethiopian version of the origin of the Abkhazians of African descent is true since there are several parallels between the name of the villages in Ethiopia and in Afro-Abkhazian villages like Bagadi, Gunma and Dabakur.

@Troy Pence said that!? WOW! You know, I believe that many people think of 'end times' as being one of these last generations, but IMO, this concept of END TIMES began a long, long, long time ago! But, yes, I think there are certain ways the earth is changing but, I just don't know ...

@Pioneer1 I completely disagree. But you have a right to interpret it the way you choose.

Some scientists theorize that some, if not all of the mass extinctions that have wiped out thousands of species of life on Earth might be correlated with magnetic reversals. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-it-true-that-the-stren/ Interesting. I don't understand this completely, but I believe that the Magnetic field does change and when it does, I think it would cause some kind of change to happen on earth.
