thanks for sharing @Troy!  

Yeah, @Dee Miller each item in the Blacknificent newsletter would be a good post for this forum. 
 

I agree @richardmurray positivity help, but it is just not very popular.

@Troy yeah, i know too well, but if we all in aalbc can make this corner of the internet a place of some uplifting online, that is worth something

Some of it is just human nature.

 

Humans are programmed to focus on their problems....so they can solve them.

 

If you break a leg, your focus will be on that pain and how to heal that limb, not how big your booty is or how much you can bench press.

@Pioneer1 Love what you’re saying, but I’d like to build on this portion of your response as it REALLY resonates ‘Focus on that pain and how to heal’ 

 

keeping a Black-eye on Black Greatness can be a source of cure-all.  We’ve witnessed it time-and-time again throughout history - working through and healing the pain - organically showcasing our natural Black Greatness.

@richardmurray PREACH!!! Just look at all this Black Greatness on aalbc, baby!!!  LOVE IT!!!

Hi @Dee Miller I've decided to change the name of the forum. I want it to be crystal clear what the forum is about to anyone who stumbles across it.

 

I also made you a moderator of the forum.  I you happen to see something negative posted feel free to delete or warn the user.  I'm not expecting you to do all the work, as I'll be moderating as well.  Let me know if you have any questions.  I'll make an announcement in the next newsletter.

 

@Troy I understand.  I completely support the Forum title change.  

 

I look forward to my moderator duties! 

I'm still unclear @nels are you talking about success versus showcasing success?

@nels I removed our entire last exchange as it is a meaningless distraction.

@Troy I am attempting to add a new Topic, but get an Access Denied error message.  Have I been banned...ROFL... JK, but seriously, I am unable to post.  Thoughts?

@Dee Miller you should be good now.  Again, feel free to delete anything not positive, if i don't get to it first.  This will be the only forum moderated with a heavy hand.

Troy, obviously, it's your board, and it's certainly your prerogative to do with it as you please, and even delete me as a user, if you so chose. Since I'm not into censorship, removing anything you want has absolutely no bearing on my participation. In short, it was just a discussion (i.e., in your words, "a meaningless distraction") that even the least smart of brains and minds could have handled. In any case, it's nice that you've made the board available for exchanges.

I'll have the last word here @nels and anyone else:
 

This forum is strictly for sharing, acknowledging, and celebrating Black excellence.  If you want to cast shade or question what is going on here, do it in one of the many other forums on the site where that is tolerated.
