Cynique, you may be interested to to know that I've begun to work very closely with Amari under the Aegis of ABLE (the Alliance for Black Literature and Entertainment). In fact I'm glad to read Milton's introducing his work here is a direct result of Amari's influence. ABLE is in it's infancy, but the prospects and promise for it are very encouraging.

JVR, I must say not only does your book look interesting, you've also done a terrific job of using this forum to get the word out about your book in both a professional, informative a manner. I wish more authors would do the same thing -- best of all it did not cost you a penny to get noticed by over 1,000 unique people. You video was well done too. If you would like to spend a little money I would suggest you take advantage of this service: http://videobookpromo.com/ I'd be willing to give you a substantial discount across all platforms if you are interested just drop me a line troy@aalbc.com I also noticed that you do not use an Amazon affiliate code or a short link. Here is a better link for you: http://bit.ly/braverdeeds I find these shorter links useful for use on places like Twitter. Plus these link uses an AALBC.com affiliate code which means sales count toward our Bestsellers list which is one of the most popular pages.

Here is a short link for this book too: http://bit.ly/changa2

Hi Milton here is a shorter link you can use: http://bit.ly/changa1 This goes t the same place as the link you shared but is easier to remember and share I'm also posting your book cover as a courtesy, but please feel free to do this on your own too -- that goes for all you authors!

Milton that last statement is actually alarming. I know it was a long time ago, but students leaving a school because of hazing is crazy. I posted this video here before. I shot it shortly before Robert was killed. I've seen a number of marching bands in my day, but FAMU's is so much better than any I've ever seen: It is very Likely Robert Champion is performing here: [media=]

AALBC.com Interview with President Jimmy Carter Hey Cynique Kam asked your question. I trust too much did not get loss in translation In 2002, President Carter was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize "for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development." The author of 25 books, here, he talks about his latest, NIV Lessons from Life Bible.

"Amazing" is one way to put it. A damn outrage would be another... don't even get me started.

Waterstar, well thank God for bookstore and libraries. Cynique, all this time I thought Merriam was some bespectacled, spinster feverishly keeping up with our rapidly evolving language. Speaking of keeping up with language. There is a guy I do a lot of work with. In many way we business partners. Sometime I have to catch myself when I introduce him as my "partner". That was was redefined as well.

Well Cynique, While I disagreed with your regarding Obama 4 years ago. I was all for voting for him because he was Black (was there really any other criteria upon which to make a really determination of his ability?) This time around I tend to agree with most of your positions regarding this year's election. Whether expressed or not the Black electorate will demonstrate its agreement as well. Waterstar/Cynique help me out the double entendre was lost on me? Remember, I went to public school.

I watched the first program last night. They don't have programming like this any more, do they? It was fascinating hearing James Farmer and Malcolm X debate. After listening to Farmer I also have a better appreciation for the birth of Affirmative action I also really enjoyed seeing Farmer and Wyatt Tee Walker revisit the interview 30 years later. They both recognized that they did in fact get rid of Jim Crow but were both overly optimistic about the rest of the required gains. I bet y'all did not know that Mosque #7 which Malcolm X ran and Canaan Baptist Church of Christ where Wyatt Tee Walker ministered for many years are on the same street literally a few doors from each other. I passed by Mosque #7 every Sunday on my way to Canaan most Sundays, where I was baptized by Wyatt Tee Walker about 40 years ago. What the US did to the Black Panthers was criminal. I'll check the 2nd video later.

I just published the latest AALBC.com eNewsletter. You'll discover information on books, authors, events, films, services and more! Check it out. If you like it please share it with others. Peace, Troy

Waterstar I may not understand your point. Are you saying that Obama's position, the numbers of Gay member in the church, and the possibility that King James was gay, might prompt the Church to embrace homosexuality in a large scale? If so, a whole generation of Black folks need to die first. I've spoken to folks who were rabid Obama supporters who are now very critic of Obama's position because of his stance on Homosexuality. So much so at least one is not gonna vote for him. They are no voting for Romney either -- they are gonna just opt out the process this go around. Also I did not mean to imply "your" logic in the post irrelevant. I was meant it would be irrelevant to a Christian, as postions, like the one anti-homosexuality is not based upon logic, it is based upon faith. While faith and logic may overlap from time to time the intersection is purely coincidental.

Waterstar. It would be interesting when/if boitumelo does the reveal. There has not been this much speculation of a poster's true Identity since ABM or Thumper.

The only argument over Jesus seems to be ovr his divinity. I have not read too much suggesting that he never existed at all. SO why couldn;t his shroud have been found? Also, I seem to remember is film describing the recovery of Noah's ark.

No; because this assumes America has the right to confer ownership of something that she herself does not own. I did not vote as there was no option that reflected my sentiment.

Sure I like it too. In fact the Dark Matter anthologies edit by Sheree Renee Thomas are some have benn some of AALBC.com's best selling books.

Thanks for sharing this. lately, when I watch TV I tend to watch youtube, netflix and other internet derived programming. i will watch this soon. Recently I watched France Cress Welsing on youtube (an old Donahue segment). Her advice, also found in the Isis Papers, was truly prophetic. In the 70's she recommended that Black men do not get married or have children before the age of 35 and women 30. This was to hold off a then growing trend toward single parents, teenage parents, or parents who could otherwise not take care of their own children.

I reference a well done interview with Toni Morrison in my latest eNewsletter: http://aalbc.it/newsmay2012 Please let us know what you think about Morrison's latest. There seemed to be a lot less coverage of this book (in the Black media) compared to her previous work. Morrison's work debutes at #9 on the NY Times BestSeller's List

Yeah right waterstar. The vast majority of men not would watch these shows then go on line and talk about them -- even under a false identity. This risk is too great to be outted. Men don't have feminine sides, women do.

As far as I'm concerned capitalists have masterfully convinced all women that they need to change something. usually it is something that never needed to be changed in the first place. Men are, unfortunately, getting on the band wagon too -- arching eye brows, tattooing skin, piercing ears, noses, and spending more time in a saloon chair than women getting their hair braided, dying, straightened, curled...

Richard Wesley and Valerie Wilson Wesley are honored

I hear you a Waterstar, but my point is it would not be possible to debate a true Christian on this subject. It is a matter of faith, and not up for debate.
