Troy Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 Get the Soul Brother’s Empowerment Package while supplies last! These books were specifically selected with Black men in mind. Get all six for only $99, includes free two-day shipping and no sales tax (unless you are shipping to Florida). New FictionThe Awkard Black Man by Walter MosleyBlacktop Wasterland by S. A. Cosby Classic FictionCaptain Blackman by John A. Williams Classic NonfictionThe Mis-Education of the Negro by Carter G. WoodsonThe Destruction of Black Civilization by Chancellor WilliamsThe Souls of Black Folk (includes “The Talented Tenth” and “The Souls of White Folk”) This bundle is available exclusively from AALBC — Even the big “A” cant sell new copies of all six books at this price! "Soul Brother" is no longer a term commonly used as far as I can tell. I was gonna call this the "Black Man's Power package" would that or some variation using "Black man" have been better? I thought what would it sound like if some white guy created a package called the "White Man's Power Package." To me it sounds racist... But some believe racism is tied to power and therefore Black people can't be racist. That is not an idea I fully embrace, but I see where those who believe it are coming from. At any rate, white people could benefit from reading these books, but I know the VAST majority never will. Though Williams, in his heyday, enjoyed broad appeal and acclaim as does Mosley... so you never know. Maybe I should have just promoted the books as six excellent books titles ... nah I'll target my Brother's. No one pays much attention to our mental nourishment.

It’s where everything is the result of competing interest. ”Soul” seems to me be more commonly used when referring to food, Now the people are using the word that rhymes with Ninja to replace Soul Brother and the word that rhymes with Rich to replace Soul Sister. I am not even sure if soul was something implanted upon our community. Well until we meet again. I leave you this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say I understand what that means. James Brown was Soul Brother #1. It seems he may have been the last soul Brother... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniellegfny Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 @Troy Dialectic comprises three stages of development: first, the thesis, a statement of an idea; second, the antithesis, a reaction that contradicts or negates the thesis; and third, the synthesis, a statement through which the differences between the two points are resolved. Dialectical materialism, a theory or set of theories produced mainly by Karl Marxand Friedrich Engels, adapted the Hegelian dialectic into arguments regarding traditional materialism.

Troy Posted September 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Oh, but I still do see how that explains why Black people can't be racist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniellegfny Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 I never said they could not. But because of the poor view of Black People Marxist hold , they perpetuate the myth that Blacks are powerless. Marxism completely overlooked African Social Structures.
