  1. HBCU's are due a lot but their story reflects the complex relationship the black populace, specifically the Descended of enslaved branch, has within itself or the usa. 

    I am happy for the HBCU in Tenneesee and all the other similar colleges or universities in the usa who after over a century and a half of unwarranted nonviolence from the black populace to the white populace or the usa government itself aside the death of many black people/communities/dreams/individuals at the hands of whites, are getting some due for themselves. 

    It still doesn't recover the past of pain after the war between the states or the past of pain before, but I am happy the black people who wanted this got what they wanted in their way. 

    IN AMENDMENT

    where are the black elepahnts, the black republicans? what i find funny about this issue is HBCU's are the oldest black non secular organizations in the usa, the oldest organizations to the Black DOS community and yet, black elephants  who talk so loudly about what black people don't do seem absent to help black organizations that have no negative or violent role.

    Entrepreneur Kelly Ifill presents banking opportunity

    by ARIAMA C. LONG Report for America Corps Member / Amsterdam News StaffMay 9, 2024

    Guava, a banking hub for Black entrepreneurs and small business owners founded by entrepreneur Kelly Ifill, is as unique as its name suggests. 

    Ifill launched Guava in 2021 with a vision of putting small Black businesses on a pathway that would lead to generational wealth and economic change. The company takes inspiration from her family’s entrepreneurial experiences with racial disparities and unequal access to capital in the U.S. 

    Ifill, 37, grew up in Brownsville, Brooklyn, with her grandmother and mother, who would later become deeply instrumental in pushing her toward a better education and opportunities. Like many in the neighborhood, her people originally hail from Trinidad. Her grandmother was a proud entrepreneur who owned a cleaning business. Ifill said she and her relatives all took cues from her grandmother, seeing her as a role model who normalized the idea of working for oneself early on in their development.

    “My mom created a space for me to explore as a child,” said Ifill about her mother’s influence. “Especially as first-generation Americans, a lot of us don’t necessarily have [that] right. We have to be a doctor or lawyer. She obviously had high expectations for me, but I was definitely able to explore different things and try things that sparked the foundation of the creative, allowing me to be an entrepreneur.” 

    Ifill joked that as a child, even though she had many positive role models who were business owners in her family, she was wary of dealing with the difficulties that came with running a business as a Black woman. “I was like, ‘That looks hard, I want a job,’” she said with a laugh. “But here I am.”

    Ifill initially became an educator in the city’s public and charter schools, taking an interest in technology along the way. She went on to earn an MBA at Columbia University. After business school, she worked in the venture capital sector  for a few years, in educational tech, helping connect startups and emerging companies with funds. 

    “Again, it came back to my grandmother, my cousins, my uncles, and knowing that more entrepreneurs looked like them than the folks that were getting millions of dollars,” Ifill said about the disparities she witnessed. She began working on laying the groundwork for Guava as a result. Her ultimate goal was to use her bank and networking system to connect local Black businesses to critical resources that they need to survive and thrive.

    The company name reflects her cultural origins. “I love guava specifically, and when we were doing the naming exercise, it started off as a little bit of an inside joke,” she said, explaining how her company came to be named after a tangy tropical fruit. “And the more that we stuck with the name, it really fit what we do and how we do it. I built Guava to serve Black and Brown entrepreneurs and as a fruit, it signified the process of growing together and that sense of community.”

  8. from Charles Jeff Wade My cousin, Sylvia Moy. She saved Stevie Wonders career writing songs for The Key of Life Album. Berry Gordy was going to Dump Stevie when his voice changed from the Boy Wonder to Maturing Young Man. Stevie spoke at her funeral crediting her for Saving him. Sylvia Moy - 1939-2017 Prolific Motown Records producer and songwriter. Wrote over 180 songs, with Grammy nominations, 20 BMI Awards Biography Moy grew up on the northeast side of Detroit with her eight brothers and sisters, performing on pots and pans to keep themselves busy and musical. Once she reached school, she played jazz and classical, but found her true place behind the scenes at Motown Records.The first woman at the Detroit-based music label to write and produce for Motown acts, she is probably best known for her songs written with and for Stevie Wonder. According to Berry Gordy’s autobiography To Be Loved, Moy was directly responsible for the label keeping Stevie Wonder. Gordy wrote that, after Stevie’s voice began to change as a result of puberty, he was going to drop him from the label. It was then that Moy went to Gordy and asked “if she could come up with a hit for Stevie would he reconsider;” he agreed. Her first writing success came with “Uptight (Everything’s Alright),” which she co-wrote with fellow SHOF inductee, Henry “Hank” Cosby, after hearing Wonder improvising on piano. Moy wrote lyrics to the song, which she conveyed to Wonder by singing into his headphones one line ahead as he recorded. In 2006, when Moy was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Wonder made a surprise appearance at the ceremony to perform “Uptight” for his former collaborator.Among the subsequent hit singles Moy wrote and/or produced while at Motown were Stevie Wonder’s “My Cherie Amour,” “I Was Made to Love Her,” and “Never Had a Dream Come True;” and “Honey Chile” and “Love Bug Leave My Heart Alone” by Martha and the Vandellas. She also co-wrote “This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You)” with Holland-Dozier-Holland for the Isley Brothers; and “It Takes Two” with William “Mickey” Stevenson for Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston. She was the first female to have the title of “record producer” at the label, and one of the busiest and well-known songwriters of the time.Moy went on to write the theme songs for many television shows and movies and eventually earned six Grammy nominations and 20 BMI awards. She made a solid investment in the future of the arts when she co-founded the Center for Creative Communications, also known as “Masterworks,” which trains young adults in the field of telecommunications and media arts.Moy died of complications from pneumonia in Dearborn, Michigan, at the age of 78. my favorite black female written song is man in the mirror
  9. another negative image for me, an artist paints the picture of tv father's throughout his life. I love my father, he is a king for me and his wife, my mother. I never cared for nor needed a tv black father, and to be blunt , I find tv black father's all poor in many ways.
  10. MY REPLY I want to say, in my home , I was always supported growing up, I still am now. My parents , both , came to all my poetry shows, painting shows. Uncles/aunts/friends of the family all supported me, never said ,i can't do or won't do or some negative else. I know I am being very personal or selfish, but not all creatives were told by numerous people "to be realistic" which is really not about realism but about financial prudence. In the USA this stems from the financial reality of fiscal capitalism. 99% of all artists don't find adequate financial revenue through art, common knowledge, thus the "get real" speech. And in the black populace in the usa, being an artist is 99.99% financially incapable of adequate revenue earning. I was supported by those in my home or my clan or in school. And I am black and went to schools with mostly black teachers til college. And I admit I went to college through federal money, never any debt. I just have to say, not all creatives have the personal history of the naysayed artist the turbulent. My only negative in my art life is I haven't reached the commercial quality I will like but I am getting there. I can only hope that I can find the kind of community I was born in , cause sadly, the community I was born in doesn't exist anymore. And I will like to raise a child in a community like the one I was raised in which doesn't exist in the usa anymore. THE CLICHE I don't know the author but I had to reply

  12. MY COMMENT love the school house rock shirt:) what is that on zenobia's shirt? 13:51 your black mama mindset is too strong:) it is 2024:) yes, zenobia , smile:) .. as black individuals acquire fortunates or more financially opulent lifestyle, will the black parental mold, born from the quarters of the enslaved, become similar to the white parental mold born from the house of the enslavers? no soul food ending:) you two really liked this film? was this the best film you guys saw from the past ten reviews? the power of non advertising:) that is how gems get through cover image
  13. well done, thanks:) I asked there what I will ask here? where is the website, who owns this? I searched online and didn't find a website? how? @Chevdove and all others , let us make a list of all the black federal wide competitions in the usa, federal wide, I can't believe many exists
  14. @Troy I see. You and I have different definitions to the word mecca. And that is why I said the following https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/10751-these-black-mayors-arent-powerless/?do=findComment&comment=66656 I quote myself that depends on how you define a mecca but thank you Troy I comprehend in this group I have made a devastating error. For too long I use words in my own way but don't add adjectives explaining these are my definitions. And so it invites others who definitions are different to then come with their definitions but their definitions don't match mine and this our dialog's positions don't align. Based on your definition of mecca you are correct troy. Yes, but not based on my definition. And we both are keeping our won definitions so we each are correct plus incorrect. I will state how I define mecca. A mecca to me isn't a place that draws people. Any place draws people. I call that a condition of any place as a gathering spot. I define a mecca as a place that has intrinsic value to a race of people regardless to if they are drawn to it physically. I base my definition on the role of Mecca to the muslim heritage which is the source of the word. Muslims pray towards mecca, they honor mecca regardless of being able to go to mecca. It is not a gathering spot. it is a revered place to Muslims regardless of whether they go to it or not. Harlem by my definition of Mecca is not a mecca and NYC is not a white mecca. Again, Troy you plus others , not me plus others, define race as phenotype. Based on your definition of race I speak incorrectly or dysfunctionally. based on my definition of race I speak correctly or functionally. The following is my definition of the word race which are from my parents, my first teachers, plus the books I learned about words from. The word race does not mean phenotype. Phenotype means appearance. Race means a characteristic similarity, it can be any characteristic; it can be gender [male/female/hermaphrodite] , clan[your last name] , language [anglo/laltino/sino] , geographic [african/european/asian], religion [ christian/buddhist/muslim/vodun], nativity [ indigenous/immigrant/migrant], and yes phenotype[black,white, mullato, arab, mestizo,dark, light ] and based on my definition of the word race, all humans have a set of racial labels based on their characteristics. So I am a black male anglo harlemite , four different races : phenotype/gender/language/geography . I have more but I said this for explanatory purposes. Now I am not asking anyone else to use words as I use them or define words as I use them but I will continue to use definitions of words in a manner I find most correct. @ProfD can you describe the better financial opportunities south of NYC? I want to tell black people offline about them
  15. @Troy that depends on how you define a mecca I have never defined a mecca to any people through the lens of those who are most financially fortunate. The mecca of islam isn't revered because financially fortunate muslims travel their on caravans or planes of gold from somewhere else. It is revered because even the fiscally poorest muslim sees in mecca the spiritual homeland of their people. NYC in my view is not a mecca for whites or specifically white statians. In the same way Harlem was never a mecca for blacks or specifically black dos. well, you say take over but harlem was white before it was black, it was native before it was white. Everybody black who lived or lives in harlem should know this from their black parents. And modern harlem is probably the finest example of a phenotypically/linguistically/religiously mixed region in nyc. I don't know nyc has alot of problems Troy. First, NYC is going to have an explosion in populace in a decade or two that to be blunt has no way to be anything but a horde of fiscally poor people unless some financial event occurs.
  16. I comprehend @Pioneer1 I think alot can be said about how groups approach problems. A functionality exist in being honest, that is lacking in the usa en large. The most truthful thing to say is , being honest has problems or at least potential problems, but the veiled approach also has problems or at least potential problems as well. I argue one of the problems with the native american in the context of the usa, from the usa's very infancy is the native americans who fought for their way of life couldn't create an illusion in the usa system that mirrored the life style they had or wanted. It is a matter of taste @ProfD no profd, I have to say, we black people need to stop suggesting grand organization amongst non blacks in the usa. I don't really see evidence to that. The system the non black founding father's implemented doesn't need non blacks to engage in it to be betterment for non blacks. I look at NYC in all earnest, if the non black populace had the kind of positive organizational qualities black people tend to suggest then nyc would be a white mecca to be blunt.
  17. https://forums.projectliberty.io/t/dsnp-relationship-to-epub/386/2?u=rmprojectl Hi Richard, I’m definitely not an EPUB expert but it’s a really interesting question. One of the things DSNP is generally useful for is ensuring authenticity and immutability of content through specific file hashes. So one simple way that EPUB could intersect with DSNP is to allow an EPUB document to be an attachment to a DSNP post (broadcast or reply). In this case DSNP serves the role of ensuring the precise version of an EPUB can be reliably referenced (if you don’t care about precise versions, you can also use the link type in DSNP). Secondly, at Project Liberty one of the core principles that guide our work is that technology should enable people to participate in the economics of platforms and their content, while maintaining agency and control over their identity and creations. One way this could intersect with EPUB is in the area of digital rights management, that is, restricting access to content based on authorization. While most DRM schemes for EPUB operate in a centralized fashion today (Adobe ADEPT, am*zon, etc.), building a DRM scheme that incorporates DSNP identity for authorization could help create decentralized solutions where authors are not reliant on a third party gateway in order to control and benefit from distribution of their intellectual property. (In actuality, you probably need some combination of user identifier and device identifier, to maintain accountability in a scenario where one account is shared. I’m not proposing a specific scheme here, but there are definitely possibilities.) As far as accessing DSNP content through an EPUB, I’m not sure what this would look like. Since an EPUB is, in effect, a snapshot of a website, you could take any set of DNSP content and turn it into an EPUB (perhaps for a “daily digest” on a certain topic). There would need to be a service that did this data aggregation and transformation, but it would certainly be possible with DSNP much more easily than with “walled garden” social networks that restrict access to content and APIs. Hope this helps and perhaps gets some further ideas flowing. Best, Wes https://forums.projectliberty.io/t/dsnp-relationship-to-epub/386/3?u=rmprojectl Thank you Wes for the reply, For the first suggestion you made I saw the broadcast and Reply Broadcast - DSNP Specification for the broadcast, it seems you can have activity content types which has audio/video/image/link So i assume the link will be to an epub. then? It isn’t a physical attachment as much as a linked attachment. am I correct? For the second+third suggestion you made , you confirmed what I felt in the back of my head. That an entire service will need to be built to make this possible. You have helped me 100% I will try something and see.
  18. QUESTIONS what chips or snacks were you eating? what is the most financially successful black female produced film in the usa? You guys made me wonder about black male movie reviewers opinion toward films produced or directed by black women . I wonder do black female produced/directed films get mostly positive reviews from black male film reviewers? To the needle moving, Biden could had chose stacey abrams who is more functional like shirley chisholm but chose kamala harris who is less industrious while also like obama or adam clayton powell jr is phenotypically not the image of "pure blackness" like chisholms' color suggest. Was this film like the aretha franklin supported biopic, in that it didn't get steamy or telenovela-ish? Are you calling on a PBS vietnam war level documentary for shirley chisholm? i think that would be very revealing.

  21. @Pioneer1 Why more discreet? So many black people in the usa talk about speaking in code. Why? Black people talk of freedom but I was raised to know that freedom doesn't occur when your a president or a mayor or wealthy. Freedom doesn't occur when you have a law degree. Freedom occurs not when you have what you want but at all times, on the path to what you want, when you don't get what you want, when you have been kicked in the teeth. But I thank you Pioneer, you explain more than ever why JesseJackson thought as he did with the Donkeys. Why black people thought with the elephants before. Most organizations from Whites in the usa, including the usa government in my view, are one thing in reality while another in name or advertisement. I say that is not something black people need to imitate in any way. But that is who black people like me are.
  22. @Pioneer1 Did you vote in the poll question? @ProfD Are you suggesting the native american should love everyone else in the usa? Why? What has the non native americans done to earn the love of the native american? I ask about the native american because the usa story starts with them. A people didn't want the white european colonies to be created, didn't want the usa created and were killed by the colonies or the usa born from the colonies. Why should the native american love the non native american ? I can't say I will concur to whatever answer you have but I hope the answer isn't some egalitarianism Thank you for the reply to Troy's position. The young man's grandmother admitted he had to relearn all basic skills, he is forever changed and that money will mostly go to medical bills over his lifetime. And sadly, various bloodline members who are financially desperate and will try to use him for their benefit. @aka Contrarian First thank you. Second, I will add to your prose about black people mistrusting whites. For good reason. The reason the irish still have issues with the english it isn't for nothing. The english earned that hate. the non blacks earned the mistrust or hate from blacks in the american continent [modern day canada to argentina]. It isn't spontaneous anger. Groups earn hate, sometimes to each other, or sometimes from one to another, but the hate/mistrust/dislike is earned. The native american has the right to hate everybody else in the usa. I think they should really. I don't think humanity is in any danger. the world will be fine. But maybe it is time to embrace the truth about how humans want to relate to other humans and stop letting dysfunctional bureaucracies force negative relationships to get worse. I think of south africa, while many people talk of this and that, the true problem with south africa is the government of mandela and declerk was dishonest. blacks nor whites in south africa wanted a merger, no matter how much the wealthy blacks+whites wanted it.
  23. @ProfD in the black conference on day 4, linked below, i think a sister said a similar thing about how people call writing about slavery trauma porn. Adding her position to yours, I do realize the issue is integration. I will explain. For over one hundred and fifty years, since the end of the war between the states, the majority of black leadership in the usa has sought integration to whites, those who once completely enslaved us. And in that time the black populace who at the end of the war between the states was compelled more to kill whites, nat turner's leadership, leave the usa, garvey leadership , through the efforts of said majority leadership [douglass /web dubois/booker t/ida b well/sojourner truth] the majority of the black populace in the usa embraced in varying styles or qualities or intensities , integration. But, some things can be integrated. Some things are segregatory. Legacies are one of those things. This is why the scottish people keep talking about cessation from england. The scottish people never wanted to be in england. The english government used money and the members of the scottish government/parliament [a majority of scottish leaders] to create a peaceful union against the wishes of the scottish people, that is a legacy that will always hold true, even though today most scottish people in varying ways embrace the united kingdom. The legacy of being enslaved is unique to Black DOSers. It isn't with other black people from nigeria or jamacia. It isn't with non blacks. It isn't with non black native americans. It is a legacy that can not be integrated. It is unique to black dosers. And, it is negative. So i concur to the power of time as you suggest but I do think the issue of Black DOSers wanting to integrate at all cost in a populace in the usa that is getting more and more filled with people who have no relationship to Black DOS tradition, unlike white people descended from enslavers or native americans, and don't care. It is a blackwashing, but not from miseducation as much as a desire to be happy in the integrated mix of the usa. I will rewrite myself and argue, I think many black DOSers want to be like the black folk who just come to the usa in 2024. IT isn't an antiblack desire as much as a desire not to have a legacy which if honest puts one at odds with the usa or the white people in it while less innocent as the rainbow of immigrants since the immigration act. And, black leadership in 150+ years in the usa has rarely embraced the concept of something black people have are unique and can't be integrated. In the same way, native american leadership has done similar. ... yes the prison industrial complex has grown in palin sight. @aka Contrarian yes it is very touchy. First, taking out the entertainment industry, no industry in the usa has a greater black presence than black people as legal men of arms [us military/law enforcemeent agencies of state or city] plus the incarcerated. So I am talking about the second most important industry to black people in the usa. Which has led to levels of financial wealth or financial security for black homes throughout the usa on the armed side while led to many broken homes on the incarcerated side. Second, even though the black populace owns no gun making firms in the usa , to my knowledge, and there was a time in the usa when white people called knives, nigger guns, cause black people were dissuaded by the white populace to own guns the modern black populace from the nineteen hundred and sixties to now have got access to guns and the financially weak situation of the black populace in the usa has led to street violence. I have to say one thing, white people in chicago committed levels of gun violence that black people never did and have not. PEople forget how chicago/new york/los angeles white populaces had levels of gun violence that would shock modern media if it was to happen. I know in nyc, the irish/italian mob wars. Third, no organization in humanity is evil. Humans who do good for other humans is in every organization in humanity, regardless the percentage. So with the financial relationship to the black populace in the usa, the modern design of the gun totting, the humanity in law enforcement or similar, this is touchy. Many black people have people they live with who are law enforcers/soldiers and can't accept or will not accept them being bad mouthed. And some black law enforcers deserve to be protected from negative judgement based on their own actions. It is touchy. And Aka Contrarian, people your age in our village aren't supposed to be leading, you are supposed to be watching younger generations lead and guide even younger generations to become the leaders, so that you feel secure leading up to the moment when your spirit flies . You are a member of the black race and it always matters what you think. Your role is to live as happy as you can, and if the village is strong, support you. This is how I was raised in our populace anyway. You don't need to come up with the solution, that is the job of black people from younger generations like me. I do think the problem is the crossroads black people in the usa find themselves in. What does it mean to be statian , of the usa or american? What is the goal of the black populace in the usa? These questions rarely get answered but in them is identity.
  24. this video is from the ny times it evades the visions of laughter from law enforcement. SOmeone attempting to hang themselves is funny. the following is from ny1 where i got the stills, most of the news outlets to their forever dishonor have omitted form their videos the clear evidence of law enforcers laughing at this. I know many see the issue as feliciano but for the issue is black law enforcers who think hanging is a joke. I don't even know what my parents parents who knew what a hanging of a black person was like will say. I wonder. Let alone my parents, parents, parents whom i know were abused by whites in various ways I will not go into. Offline, black people have defended black law enforcers actions with a veil of love. Online, similar black folk have praised or repreived black law enforcers. But now I have irrefutable evidence of the true negative nature of Black law enforcers in the usa, a tribe in the black populace in the usa. For now on I will share this whenever anyone brings up a black law enforcer. Black law enforcers are not honorable, they are hungry. In the same way black people join the military , black people join law enforcement. For food. The black populace of the deep south, places like flint michigan, the fiscally poorest black regions fuel the ranks of the us military cause these are the black people with the least money and they don't have the ability or desire or support to act illegally for financial betterment. so the military or cops it is. the difference is the military's structure or role has a strict function, preserving the empire. Preserving the empire warrants far more negative actions than law enforcement will ever know but said actions require a certain tact which is absent in law enforcement. Law enforcement has always been a legal mob, a legal gang, A legal operator in illegal activity, getting continuous payments while free from any of the negative judgements. Black law enforcers in the usa for me betray more of black peoples forebears in the usa than any other group in the usa. seconded by black soldiers. https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/public-safety/2024/04/08/family-speaks-out-about--28-7m-settlement-after-suicide-attempt-on-rikers-island photos
