@Pioneer1, again, as FAS pointed out and as I previously wrote your articles do not support your conclusions

Oh I thought that was evident. Vaccines have saved countless lives and would completely have completely eradicated dangerous diseases were it not for you antivaxers. You reject the idea the reality that Vaccines provide a benefit to society. Of course I could point out your belief in multiple human races, but that would be too easy.

Yeah the GOP held up President Obama's Supreme Court nomination in 2016.

The AALBC.com Bestselling Book, Different and the Same by Adijah & Atiya Brabham, has been republished TODAY in a larger format — great for reading with a child. It also sports AALBC Bestseller’s seal! Making a bestsellers list is always a good thing. Over the last 24 years AALBC has had over 1,400 bestselling books. Interestingly, most authors fail to exploit the achievement, so it is refreshing to see it happen. Adijah and Atiya went the extra step of actually printing the bestseller on the latest version of their book. Some authors apply the stickers. Because most authors/publishers don't do this I'm always extra supportive of those that do! It is a goo way to get some free promotion out of AALBC. I'll be offering a deal on this book shortly 🙂

Of course it's relevant; if the increase was proportional with white people this would disprove your assertion that Black people were targeted specifically. Ok so show me information, not conjectured by another antivaxer, which shows vaccines are directly correlated with an increase in autism in Black children. Simple right?

@Pioneer1 I don't think very many Trump supporters "workship" him. In fact, Christians are prohibited from workshiping him for religious reasons. The one guy you foundon the other side of the planet, obviously has a mental problem.

Please provide the quote and the source. You do just get the disease, you take deliberate action to get it. I know, so lets see the info.

Skate boarding transcends race. We should could continue Dr. King's riff; Not only that, they forcibly removed the people who were already on the land...

Of curse you would say that. Your morality allows you to reject reality sometimes and accept it other times. Would you share the numbers? Also could it be that the condition is being diagnosed and tracked more? Is the increase limited to only Black people?

Maybe I have too much faith in my white Brothers... I just do not think they are crazy enough to sit around to hatch of this wacky scheme, to infect themselves with covid-19 then head into Black communities to deliberately spread it. I will not rule it our of the realm of possibilities, but I still think it is more conspiracy theory than reality.

I noticed that factual inaccuracy too but assumed he meant after the voting rights act when Black people in the south could vote, in practice.

I was in a meeting with some booksellers last night and some were surprised that AALBC.com is not a fan of Bookshop dot org. It felt just like the reaction I got from people regarding my feelings about Amazon when I began to express them years ago. People could not understand my aversion to Amazon initially, but today, most people get it. Bookshp is Amazon all over again. Read the article in Publisher Weekly (and the comments) for some insight; "ABA Relationship with Bookshop Draws Booksellers’ Scrutiny"

Ok you probably know more than I on the subject. I thought many people became depressed at one point maybe they were just sad. Sure, I believe it. She is no different than the people who believe autism somes from the MMR vaccine.

The article does not support what you are saying. Whites not wearing masks are presumably increasing infection rates amongst themselves. There is no mention of them deliberately or otherwise effecting the Black community.

On point I agree. The democrats should have pushed their nominee through when they had a chance. Crying about the Republicans pushing theirs through now is a waste of time. I guess we will be seeing more Supreme Court justices if Biden wins.

Nuff said.

How so? I can hold more than one thought in my head. I'm sure others can too.

I never heard of Mario A. Brossard, and I'm not interested enough to look him or his article up. I see no problem of voting for the lesser if two evils. If you're determined one evil is indeed lesser you should vote for the lesser one. Who is suggesting this, Mario? Who in the Black community wanted a Biden/Harris ticket? I hope so.

True, but I don't think @Ann Bray Smith was talking about brain maladies like schizophrenia and other conditions requiring psychiatric help. She was talking about things depression (not clinical) and PTSD.

Again context is everything. What is the opinion based upon taste, number if calories, health benefits, what? Does science encompass all of reality? Is reality a fiction to you? In any event, I don't understand your well enough to answer it. So then it can't possibly be true huh? I dated a woman who believed this. You can read about people who believe this. Mr. Strawman no one with a brain would age anything that old with that level of precision. Your baseless arguement is not worth the energy to refute. The convictions are moral to the ones holding them. People have different moral values. Those who hold differing moral values see each other as wrong.

I believe the internet is a tool that can be used for good or evil. The Internet is what you make of it. Personally I have made a conscious decision not to consume information derives from social media. I'm not always successful because I have a social media presence for a AALBC. Each social media platform cleverly requires you to see your feed before you can really do anything. So I use those platforms with blinders on and do the best I can. I don't follow celebrities --I'm defintely not following 45. Indeed I only follow people I actually know and most of the people I know, in the real world are not very engaged in social media anyway. The Internet, technology in general, is too powerful to completely leave alone the world can be a better place with them as long as we don't forget the things that are more important like a human beings and the natural world. This is how I maintain my mental health 🙂 This is a different concern. Sure we should be prepared a loss of the internet. I'm mean don't plan for it like it will happen tomorrow, but consider what would you do if there were not internet for a week, a month, a year. The Internet has already been disrupted. The Internet is under the control of a handful of massively powerful corporations. The people are for more dependent on these companies than they were during early days of the Internet. For this reason the Internet is far less valuable than it could be and I'd argue far more destructive. Sometimes I wonder if the world would be better off without what the WWW has become. I'm not convinced that it is, and this is coming from someone whose livelihood is dependent upon the WWW. One of my concerns is the WWW's impact on our collective mental health.

You are playing loose with the definition of words and context my friend. Faith for religious people is based upon relgious doctrine as opposed to proof. Proof the world is billions of years old rather than 6K years old is of no consequence. When one's belief is based solely upon faith. Opinions can certainly be wrong particularly when misinformed. If you believe the world is 6K years old you are wrong.

I liked the film and appreciated seeing actors who at least to my eye fit their parts. I'm not sure the Maya today look the way they looked before the colonizers arrived.

How is this different from The Covenant with Black Amercia Tavis Smiley helped organize. I guess now you gonna make break down read Ice Cube ideas ....
