great post my Brother... Brother omowalejabali you have no argument from me, I’m not an African isolationist by far, and have argued with many radical romanticist who go down that road to sound “super” revolutionary. For Africa or any part of Africa to become a “world” power it has to...

Sister Destee, I think Zullie makes a “sad but possibly true” point when she said, “If there is going to be any African unity in the future, it will need to be done by force” Throughout history and even African history the initial underlying unifying apparatuses for most dynasties, empires, and...

I have sort of consumed some of China’s history over the years, but never really focused on a comparative analysis of China and Africa. As you know, China has had a long history of being raped and devastated by everyone from the Mongols, to the Japanese, to the British. And remember, Mao...

I read that piece by the Jerusalem Post concerning the allegations of fraud and so forth. It was obviously a “hatchet job” written by those who never wanted the African Hebrews in Dimona, or are probably very outraged concerning the legitimizing of their citizenship (for they have been granted...

I have to agree with Brother oldiesman and this is why... Sister river, I think the European philosophical construct “right to” might be the problem. Until this construct is destroyed (if ever), then it’s a mute point. Whites already feel they have a “right to” every resource and...

I agree with Brother James, Cosby was not really on the radar of much criticism until he took on this self-righteous sort of high moralistic position. He talks about the immorality of the Black community, while it was he who paid-off a former white prostitute he frequented for years, and then...

and I love the river (smile) Blessings Sister river, First you have to know what the man is about, for if he has great value, it’s not about changing him (which cannot be done from the outside-in anyway, as you know). Like I said in another thread, a Black man's only value, or most of his...

Peace Sister river Every situation and every Black man is different. Use your female intuition, spiritual insight and wisdom, as well as your life experiences to scrutinize a brother before you judge. Being in the arts, I know many Jazz musicians and serious visual artist that do not always...

Child support laws are like a, wolf in sheep clothing... The Child support laws in America are just as draconian and oppressive as any other laws that persecute mainly the poor and Black people; everything that’s given to Black people by this system as a social advancement or legal redress has...

First of all, I agree with Brother Blackbird, the African and Native American relationship is much more complicated than that of Africans and white Euros. But focusing on this thread’s query, if we were to make a historical analysis of slavery in America, it would be more than obvious that the...

Sister I viewed your video response and thank you for your honesty. As I said in my original post, this thread was a response to another thread directed thoughtfully towards the Brothers here. Peace

First of all, let me make myself clearer; I have the highest respect for your right to speak your “own” mind, and I am not discounting the personal pain or struggles you have had because of a non-existent relationship with your father, or your father’s side of the family. What becomes...

Peace Sister IntelligentNoir, I listened to all three of your Youtube commentaries and then went back and listen to original video you were responding to. Though you say, you have every reason to “hate Black men” but you actually don’t; I still find your tone and presentation (as far as...

One way to understand the employment crises as it applies to most Black men, whenever a sister passes a new high rise being built, or see gentrification in their community, or any development being offered for the betterment of even the poorest of Black neighborhoods just count how many Black...

It is almost impossible to explain beginning of slavery, or who started it in the same context in which slavery is defined as, or has been defined as in recent European and African history. Most Americans don’t understand that their status as “free citizens” who must work for the corporate...
