  1. @richardmurray when I think about Zora’s experience, I’m like, ‘Good for you, sis. Now take those experiences and inspire others who didn’t even know Eatonville-like experiences was even a thing’. Bruh, easier said than done I can relate to Joe and Herbs experience because - you don’t even know that there’s green grass on the other side. And even if you’ve had a glimpse of the green grass, the glimpse can be intimidating. Like many of us, you do better when you know better’. Perhaps they know, now, that they have choices beyond their existence, and the glimpse = possibilities. Choices be like… Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed the read
  2. what are some of your favorite poems by black authors? Maya, Angelou’s, Still I Rise. LOVE IT!!! It's life-changing, spirit-boosting, reminiscent of the power of our ancestors, reasons to love, laugh, forgive, stand in our truth, persevere and have the audacity to smile, wink and walk away gracefully.
  3. @Stefan @richardmurray I smile, I ponder, I reminisce, I reflect, I get emotional, I wish, I try to get in your head, I resolve my thoughts of the photo, I wonder what reaction you expect from me & I wonder what you were thinking when you took 'that' shot? INCREDIBLY POWERFUL!! Thanks for sharing your artistry.
  4. You've likely heard the phrase, 'Now that's the real McCoy'. Did you know that the phrase was birthed from an invention by Elijah McCoy who developed a lubricating cup that automatically and evenly distributed oil over the locomotives for steam engine moving parts while in motion? While others put forth similar devices, railroaders often requested 'the Real McCoy'. Patented in 1872, Elijah's invention was used on almost all railroads in North America by 1900. Of course, Elijah held over 57 other patents (including the lawn sprinkler), but sold the rights to some of his patents to raise money to open the Elijah McCoy manufacturing company So, when ever you want an ACTUAL item v an imitation, be sure to ask for 'the Real McCoy' - an attribution to a master engineer.
  5. @Troy @richardmurray I get them as well and just delete them.
  6. @Pioneer1 wanna hear a funny? Your statement reminded me about a business trip I had to RI. I stopped to have lunch at a seafood restaurant and was literally the only customer in the joint. They were playing alternative music (I’ll call it). After the waiter took my order and retreated to the back, suddenly the music changed to R&B old school. I had to laugh, but appreciate the sentiment. The seafood was delicious, the waiter winked at me as if to take credit for recognizing the disparity and the music was on point…lol gotta love it!
  7. @Pioneer1 bruuuuh, don’t even perpetrate. I bet he was a special guest on the Today Show with Al Rork. OneLove Al…OneLove! BTW, I’m not mad at Hershey and the gang. I hope they got doze coins, yo!
  8. @Pioneer1 nope. Never seen it. I’m with @Troy, not an NY commercial…lolol. cracks me up though as I’m sitting here thinking about the evolution of commercials.
  9. @harry brown they also hear: you’re not good enough, you’re not pretty enough, you’re too loud, you’re too black, you’re not smart enough, you’re not civilized, you’re not smart enough, you’re not worthy, the only reason you exist is because I let you…. How do you suppose they digest that information? Who are you blaming? Perhaps the question is, are you blaming? As a People, and through it all, we continue to persevere. Is one community language more detrimental and another? I’m asking for a friend. IM SO IN LOVE WITH MY PEOPLE.
  10. @aMhayes my apologies for any confusion. I meant that you should share your stories on the Black Excellence Showcase discussion forum on this aalbc site. I misstated the forum name when I called it Black Greatness Forum. @richardmurray Brilliant idea about the writers on aalbc doing a book together, each making one story. We can make it free and publish it across platforms, thus we each can highlight aalbc and carry our fanbases to each other!! BRILLIANT!! @Troy what are your thoughts?
  11. CONGRATULATIONS @Troy !!! thank you for sharing!! It’s not at all self-serving!! You’re sharing your Black Greatness achievement! Love it!!! Yoooo! @Troy I responded before I even reviewed the your nomination…woooweeee! Let me say how honored I am to be part of your life mission via aalbc!!! bruh, you gave love to all of your supporters, and to those who have made an impact in your life - not at all self-serving and Thank YOU for all you do to represent!
  12. @aMhayes IKR!!! I am sooooo in love with my people!! Have you checked out the Black Greatness Discussion Forum?! You’d be a GREAT contributor!
  13. @richardmurray that’s a lot of words to say, No matter the demographic, no matter the group of people, no matter the cause, no matter the outcome, no matter… - it’s the same sh&! different day, but we need to Stay All the way UP!
