  1. This is the African American Literature Book Club's latest newsletter. Feedback is greatly encouraged. New Books Coming April 2024 & More
  2. Where did you learn about the NDE experiences of these people a book, YouTube? Did they also explain why people would come back to be beheaded starve to death, die in infancy, and be raped and tortured? Did they explain what these experiences would provide them?
  3. Being born of Christian parents is not sufficient to make you a Christian, you know that man don’t try to play me @Pioneer1 So the Old Testament, Moses, pharaoh, and all those cats mean nothing to you regarding the origins of Christianity?
  4. @Pioneer1 no I do not think most meaning more than 50% of Black people know how to farm but I don’t think 50% of any demographic living in the United States in 2024 knows how to farm with the exception of actual farmers. As far as fishing, I would be willing to bet 51% of Black people have some experience fishing. even if they don’t they can learn in 30 minutes or so. But you never needed “most” people to know how to farm or fish you just need enough people to support the rest. But the point I’d that I agree with ProfD statement: I was surprised that you would reject that statement and supported by saying that most Black people don’t know how to fish.
  5. @Pioneer1 according to Google incorrigible has been used 9 times in 15 years, roughly once every year and a half. Hardly worth mentioning. The word is oh so apropos. If you rolled in more educated circles I’d suspect you’d hear it not often as far as your response. You engaged and a great deal of linguistic gymnastics and dragged out your Multiverse argument which you drag out to explain away anything as it encompasses all possibilities . the idea that we can move between any of the universes we want does not make sense to me, as I doubt anyone would pick their current situation knowing there are an infinite number of better positions they could be in.
  6. I have not had a chance to read this yet, but UII wanted you to know that I appreciate the coverage. Since local media is missing and under resourced the events are not covered -- despite being newsworthy. Your report bring to mind the "Reports from the Field" Kalamu ya Salaam used to publish on our events. Here are The Reports from the Field of the 5th National Black Writers Conference by Kalamu ya Salaam (from April 2000). If we don't preserve the story they never happened
  7. Yeah, the black excellence forum can use a little more love. Even the sister who helped generate the idea rarely contributes.
  8. @Pioneer1 There are an million examples; How do you think most Christians became Christian? Do you think the only people spreading the gospel are white people in Africa? There are black Christians going to white countries to proselytize. As far as the origins of Christianity. Where do you believe is started pioneer? Then tell me which continent that would be? I’ll wait…
  9. @Pioneer1 my friend, you are the very definition of incorrigible. i’ll make it plain. If the omniscient being you believe in knows every move we will ever make. How would they know it unless it was predetermined?
  10. you clearly don’t live in the south my brother. I can’t even wrap my brain around what you just wrote. you see the US’s population’s reaction to what’s going on in the Gaza Strip? do you think the US wants to mess around and get them involved with France’s, imperialism in Africa? I don’t think so?
  11. I think he realized how much he did not know.
  12. Interesting. I think these guys knew things about the world that was so far beyond their comprehension it was indistinguishable from magic.
  13. Most of those teenagers end up just fine. Sure they have to struggle at but, that is perfectly understandable and expected.
  14. there are many scholars that would disagree with you. Going back to your original question it was answered. If the roles were reversed, and everything else being equal, Europeans and Arab would’ve converted too it has to do with the way humans behave has nothing to do with the color of the skin.
