I just received an email from a black female I’ll call Stacy:
“Have you noticed that the commercials on TV have almost completely eliminated the black female especially if there is a black male on scene. The new black female is the white woman.”
My response:
“I have, and it’s true in the movies as well. It should be clear (to anyone with two working eyes) that the white supremacist system wants black males with ANYONE BUT a black female
(for fear we’ll BREED more black babies and somehow, find a way to unify with each other)
They would rather see a black male with a white, Asian, or Hispanic female or even lying in bed with a white male in a homosexual relationship
THAN WITH A BLACK FEMALE
If you doubt this, check out the TV commercials with black males surrounded by white people and often paired up with a white female while black females are usually ABSENT
Check out the movies and TV shows where the black male rescues and partners up with white and Hispanic females but NEVER partners up with a black female —
that’s if she can be found in the movie or TV show to begin with EXCEPT as ‘wallpaper’ (a non-speaking role)
And check out the movies and TV shows where the black female is the side whore of a white male who grudgingly agrees to have sex with her AND that she is ALWAYS the one who initiates sex?
OR
she is in a “relationship” (if you can call it that), with a married white male (Scandal) who will NEVER leave his white wife for a black whore
Or in a “committed” relationship with a white male who does not value or respect her (like “How to Get Away With Murder”)
Perhaps because she is always portrayed as a BLACK WHORE who sleeps around– with white men, biracial men engaged to white women, and, yes, even with white females
But she will NEVER be seen loving, kissing, hugging, or sexing a black male because that is TABOO
HOWEVER
that doesn’t stop the black audience from spending our money AND time watching our humanity degraded and the all too fragile black male/black female relationship being shred to bits right before our eyes
Surprisingly, the ABSENCE of black females from the lives of TV and Movie black males doesn’t stop the millions of REAL-LIFE (and, often SINGLE) black females from FLOCKING to TV shows and movies that degrade us, marginalize us, inferiorize us, and make us INVISIBLE in the lives of black males
In shows like EMPIRE that push interracial sex, homosexuality, and disrespect between black male and black female, and disrespect between black son and black mother down our throats while the ONLY EDUCATED AND MARRIED BLACK MALE
“wifes-up” a blond white female
On the FOX TV NETWORK–of all networks
(Did you know the TV show script for “Empire” is written by a white person?)
The white supremacists KNOW their programming WORKS and they know far too many of us don’t have the will OR the SELF-RESPECT to stop watching our own degradation
If I sound too harsh (I make no apologies for it), try to imagine the REVERSE:
Black people writing and producing films and TV shows that degrade the white male/white female relationship or show white women as black males’ whores and white males ONLY saving and rescuing black females
Dr. Kambon once said, “Black people are serious about not being serious.”
It’s hard to argue the point as the white supremacist TV set babysits our children and literally destroys their self-respect right before our eyes
So, it’s pretty clear what kind of CROP we will be reaping in the coming future:
- black males who are super-white identified and low-self-esteemed who rely HEAVILY on white validation
- mentally ill, demoralized, angry black females who will raise the next generation
RESPECT OURSELVES
And we will shake our heads and wring our hands and bemoan the future of the ‘black race” for YEARS TO COME
But it is not too late.
Each individual can take a stand and stop supporting white supremacy in ALL forms of entertainment — including, the Tyler Perry BUFFOONERY sitcoms — and at the least STOP PAYING FOR IT.
Because whether we realize it or not, this programming is SEEPING into our brains and DIRECTING our behavior toward each other
And I don’t care how smart you think you are, or how smart I think I am, it is SOAKING into our brain cells and poisoning us against ourselves AND each other and you can see the growing detachment, resentment, mistrust, and uneasiness between black people — male AND female.
The white supremacists are working NIGHT AND DAY, 24-7 to make sure that we are so confused and self-hating and black-hating that by the time they MAKE THEIR MOVE AGAINST US
It won’t matter what they do to other black people — and my greatest fear is
They might be right…
I talk about all the above at length in my book, “Black Love is a Revolutionary Act” and “The Interracial Con Game”
And even if you never read one of my books, I want you to start making your own observations (if you haven’t already)
And talk to other black people, talk to your family and friends and your children and coworkers about it.
Just DO SOMETHING and prove Dr. Kambon was wrong.
When he said, “Black people are serious about not being serious.”
Racism Is White Supremacy 
While I agree.I believe they have moved on to black women as well and are focusing heavily on us, it is said you are the race of your father. So they’ve realized to prolong their seed the black women are more the key than the men.Nevertheless they still provide the divide keeping black men and women apart. But trust the reasons are more sinister as the black woman is the key.
And I said the same thing about Scandal and Kerry Washington’s roll and almost got eaten alive by what I think but hope were not black women.They defended that show like they have no understanding of what we’re up against.
Not to mention biracials will be the new white race with the melanin and ability to survive the sun.My arguments have been dismissed and passed over as unimportant in the scheme of things.But seriously, our most overlooked seemingly harmless production is the undercover “brotha” and “sista”.It’s a powerless feeling to watch BW and Men so easily just give up their DNA and then ignore the future consequences, our destruction.
I fear black people are at the point of no return as we give our seed and power away to a bunch of teeth gnashing hateful monsters.
@ angel9loveu
I see your point but I see things a little differently.
I believe the black male is the main target in terms of IR breeding. If you notice, you seldom see the black female on TV breeding with ANYONE, You don’t see her in commercials having breakfast with a white male and their children. You don’t see her in a social setting with white people in upscale liquor commercials or dining at a restaurant with a group of white people in a TV commercial
BUT you do see the black male in these ads
When you see the black female she is usually ALONE
The white supremacists know a child is usually more more loyal to his or her mother’s side (assuming she is still in the child’s life)
and based on that reasoning, a white female will be more influential in that biracial child’s life than the black father, especially if he is no longer around — and the VAST MAJORITY of relationships between black males and white females DO NOT LAST
In fact, it is the most SHORT-LIVED interracial relationships out of all black/white marriages– according to PEW Research which claims marriages between black males and white females are more likely to end in divorce than
BM/BW
WM/WW
BW/WM
The odds are the white female will wind up raising the child she has with a black male and she’ll do it WITHIN a predominantly white environment — therefore increasing the LIKELIHOOD that the non-white child will be WHITE-IDENTIFIED
Hence, the Barack Obamas of the world, and even he said several years ago that “…everything I am, I owe to my mother.”
AKA — his mother (mother’s side) – HIS WHITE SIDE
And this is why they promote BM/WW breeding and seldom the other way around. The black female is SELDOM portrayed as a WM’S LOVE INTEREST but is usually just a side PIECE or a side WHORE
and I guarantee you, you will not see her and that white male she is sexing raising their children together on ANY TV SHOW OR MOVIE OR TV COMMERCIAL
and in fact, I can’t remember EVER seeing a scene like that
BUT I have seen BM in TV commercials with a WW and their “children”
It is the Black Male’s sexuality that white obsession centers around — NOT the black female’s.
It is the power of the black male’s melanated sperm that is valued, Because his melanated sperm holds the key to white survival, NOT the black female’s womb.
That’ is why the black female is becoming more and more INVISIBLE in movies and TV with a few exceptions.
And why the black male is often portrayed in a pseudo-positive light, saving and assisting white people, white females, and white children
But the black female is often portrayed as ignorant, unattractive, manless and WHORISH
And certainly not qualified to breed with ANYONE
I agree and you make very valid points.As regarding the big screen and commercials, they very rarely promote BW/WM relationships.However, lately on the smaller screen of Youtube and social media that’s all I see.And more people have turned to social media and youtube these days. We are constantly bombarded with BW/WM relationships. And it was noted that very rarely will you see a BW/BM relationship doing as well on on this platform.And what’s worse is it’s attracted a huge number of low self esteem BW and imposters that show us as being “thirsty”. Asking questions like,”How did you find your white guy?” and “What attracted him to the BW and how they can find one just like him?
I felt embarrassed as a BW and when you try to show them the error of their ways, these BW an imposters like to highlight the “race has no color” and an even funnier “people like me keep racism alive” and that’s why they all should get left.Cause there are BW out their thinking IRR is actually apart of the “race unity” movement. Which in turn WM like to dog us and throw it in the BM’s face as well. On the WP forums which I glance at to see what they’re saying they call us ugly,mop heads and desperate for them. And they go in on the BW especially in response to many of our bloggers and vloggers. And the BM not so much. However, a black man will always produce black children which is absolutely correct and the white mother raises these children amongst the “white community”. And that’s true cause the biracials that don’t identify with their black side or are bashing black people usually are from white mothers. But I’ve seen those from black mothers catching on to this “privilege” as well. And are wielding it when needed.
I think now it’s all fair game as long as they can divide, conquer and white out the melanin. The BW/WW can have white looking children to blend in and “ghost” and the WW/BM can produce darker children where the WW can mold to be undercover, brothers and sisters.Or a white person in Black face.
Either these people are dead set on keeping us apart.
So I was relating to social media and youtube cause I barely watch tel lie vision. But have been on Youtube a little more which I’m darn near being over with as well.
@ Angel19loveu:
Great points, I agree. I very rarely watch the idiot box, but when I do encounter one, I note that many of the “black sit-coms” almost always have a white female married to the black character or “in a relationship,” so to speak.
Also, I note that with many bi-racial or mixed nutts off-spring, that they generally DO align themselves with the white power structure. This practice is also seen quite frequently with many black males and females that “see no color” and marry a white individual. Not in all cases, but frequently.
Riddle me this, WHY do blacks that have married white almost always move to a geographical location flooded with whites? And chances are, that more than likely, the monies of that black female and black male will NOT be pouring into black communities? (Enter giving away the turkey on Turkey Day and what is called Christmas, to assuage their guilt? That they are “giving back to the black community? Lmbo!…especially so-called “celebrities and stars?)
Whistling while walking out of this thread…..
Phazex_Female
Hahahaha…good questions.This is my opinion on them moving to white areas and not investing in the black community except in a few rare occasions
And it’s the very basis of most of these IRR couples.When they get married to non blacks especially whites.There’s a misguided sense of they “made it”, or they married “up” and they’re trying to assimilate into the culture/ideals of that non black spouse in an effort not to lose the “prize”. And they have “they chose me and they didn’t have to” mentality . And jump into these IRR unions head first not realizing they’re doing all the sacrificing only to come up short. Cause Cause white people will never accept us in their close-knit society and are quick to remind us we’re , the n word when we step out of place.They don’t even accept your blended children as white, they pass that off to you like they’re tarnished. They still have more privilege than the black spouse but never good enough to be the ” pure” white (whatever that is). They also don’t realize if you sabotage the black community you’re sabotaging yourself.And that’s a whole other story.
My biggest thing about IRR unions are the products of such a union, the children. Even through them they tell us we’re filthy to them.They don’t mind sharing a bed and living with us but I find one couple sacrifices more than the other not making it an equal partnership. And I hate this “we love our child no matter what color”. I want the white spouse to tell me it’s always convenient to bring up love has no color when you know that child will always be black to them an they’re kind. But sorry I get carried away.I’m done.
Thank you for sharing with us. “And truths shall set you free.”
Phazex_Female
Yes but not all of us are living in our truth.
The thing is, the vast majority of Blacks in IRR with Whites, male and female are not marrying or procreating with high class whites. Its usually working class poor whites marrying blacks. Not only that but i also believe that nearly all of them are racist and I know most blacks will ignore the fact that their partner is racist just to be married to them. The powers that be know this and this is why the IRR angle is being pushed so heavily on Blacks. These Blacks have such low self esteem so they in return will produce offspring that hate their Black side and will do anything to step on actual Black Black folks.
I agree.The whites always use being married to a PoC as a reason they can’t be racist. Which, frankly is hogwash. I’ve witnessed many times these things happen and the black spouse overlooks many things the more aware blacks would catch in a heartbeat.And they tend to say if spoken to that we’re being sensitive and the person isn’t being serious.I’ve seen the white spouse let their white privilege show and “ignorance” as well.So forget love has no color and all this crap they say. Now a days especially when the whites are being told they’re all racists, they’re on the hunt to find more gullible black people to use as the crutch for why they’re not racist.To the black community try not to get caught up because they’re big sociopaths and love to play games disregarding the “pawns” feelings.
As I stated in an earlier topic,these black shows with the token white girl,still practice racism/white supremacy. That token white girl is the only one on the show married. You can see this on (Empire,The Game,Single Ladies and Being Mary Jane).
@chuquestaquenumber1
That is an excellent. Many of the token white females on those shows either want a black man to date with them or they want to use black people sexually in an exploitative way. Some people believe in the myth that white women are less racist than white men. The truth is that white women are just as racist as white men. Many White women abused slaves, have called black people the N word, and done many evil actions against our people for centuries. Our discernment has to be high to read the sign of the times. The sign of the times are readily available for human beings. Also, I reject selfish individualism. Selfish individualism contributed to the Great Recession of the 21st century. Therefore, we shouldn’t ally with white racists and black sellouts. We should ally and unite with like minded strong black people who want the same goal of justice. Unity is a powerful force and it should be advanced in the black community. Collective unity and solidarity are concepts that I believe in.
Wow, I don’t watch those shows so really did not know that. Are blacks allowing whites to write the scripts or is it blacks adopting anti-black white supremacist attitudes. How are the blacks in the show allowing that to be so? Are they keeping silent to keep a paycheck?
Re:
“As I stated in an earlier topic,these black shows with the token white girl,still practice racism/white supremacy. That token white girl is the only one on the show married. You can see this on (Empire,The Game,Single Ladies and Being Mary Jane).”
lol. I see that too on youtube and elsewhere. Meanwhile, white men are MAJOR haters of black women and want to malign us and wish we all walked around feeling unwanted. Oh yeah, we all should ask ourselves how to attract a white male!..yeah right!
@Alicia exactly, they love nothing of our people.I don’t care if they sleep with us or marry they are incapable of feeling genuine love or empathy for us, the bible says and so do they.Everything a white man does is for their survival they are good at acting but they show their true colors(and they’re colorful) all the time.
Angel9loveyou, We are our most powerful when we are together. When faced with water hoses and police dogs during peaceful & non violent marches, who was there being attacked with Black Men? Black Women. During the Montgomery Bus Boycott that was done for hundreds of days, who was walking along side Black Men? Black Women. Immigrant European Neanderthals (classified as White people by the U.S. Census Bureau) study us and know that Black Women/ Black Men relationships are the key to our success, health and wealth wise. And isn’t it interesting that Immigrant European Neanderthals spend BILLIONS of $ in advertising to convince the world that the Neanderthal Female is the standard of beauty and that Black Women carry various diseases and are ugly, yet continually have white males trying to have sex with you?
I watch these things in bewildermint, just as I do when I experience it from white supremacists in everyday life. I work around White men who always seem to be focused on trying to malign black women, yet act gay with and more accepting of black males. This is the second environment I’ve been in like this.Everyday I wonder when this will change and how is it that they don’t feel bad or ignorant for the way they behave.
ALOT of whites have this problem. It seems so sick and evil, however I guess they also don’t want us to have jobs or being doing good at all, so it’s a whole lot of evil “wishes* and desires that they have for us.
As a black woman I find this scary! Yes, there are movies and shows where they show black women with non-black men as well or black women yet no black males are anywhere to be found.
I think they think so low of us in their sick minds that they can’t believe we would find ourselves or each other attractive!
The worst thing about it all is that they know their behavior and like how they are. I remember my mother used to say about white racists that “they like how they are” or something to that affect. She was trying to tell me to not worry about their behavior.
Can you imagine being angry at seeing a hispanic male with hispanic female? or being angry with seeing a asian male attracted to his own asian female? or arab with arab and so on?
It’s all so sick and scary. Why does God allow such evilness to go on in this world? I will never understand it!
“I watch these things in bewildermint, just as I do when I experience it from white supremacists in everyday life…”
Yeah Alicia, I’m starting to see my own people for what they really are. It saddens me because NO ONE wants African Americans for any reason, except to exploit them more and that is because of the portrayal of us by the media…not even other black people when they see how stupid some of us are. That symbiotic relationship we have with whites has evolved into a parasitic relationship where we feed on each other trying to emulate the dominant culture. My own mother always warned me to “stay out of white folks business”, they are a cohesive bunch of barbarians and will consistently turn on you instead. It is all about skin color and keeping black people on the bottom, OR destroy them all. The only comfort that I get from this lunatic dance we do is the fact that blacks that continue to assist our demise – those of us that are conscious that is – will invariably be turned on as well, and genetics or DNA being what it is, they will destroy themselves trying to destroy every black person on the planet.
You all should check out a site called “African Americans don’t have African blood”, it’s a group of black people that honestly believe the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade never happened, we were all already here in the Americas. Talk about divided….smdh.
re: “they are a cohesive bunch of barbarians and will consistently turn on you instead. It is all about skin color and keeping black people on the bottom, OR destroy them all.”
Very true and I have learned this over the years. I will NEVER live in a majority of heavily white area in my lifetime and I stay away from places like that!
I can live around them because I am not afraid of them, but it requires staying ON POINT all the time, so I rely on technology….the same kind they use to protect themselves from criminals. Plus, like I said, I am more afraid of backstabbing black folks in large groups than white ones, because I am expected to trust them and so far….I am ALWAYS disappointed.
I’m not afraid of them. I’m just at a point where I no longer feel like dealing with racism outside of the workplace. As a black woman, I do not care to deal with sexualized racism either. I live life more fully and comfortably around middle class blacks or in diverse areas where people of color are the majority.
“…middle class…where blacks are the majority.,”
I didn’t mean that I or you “fear” them Alicia, just that we are aware of their Core Being which is to say that they USUALLY dislike and mistrust black people, also that they always seek some way to take advantage of any perceived weakness. Also, to make sure you don’t bring in too many “cousins” you’re going to move in as well.
Collectively, I have seen that we have a tendency to support the very worst kneegrows in the black community, for far too long and we become “enablers” of their bad behaviors where they find stupid stuff the “new norm”. Sagging pants, $200 shoes WHILE getting food stamps to live on because working at McDonald’s is beneath you, booty shorts in any kind of weather, throwing used Pampers wherever you want, going to “My Man’s” job and starting a scene because you HEARD something getting him fired or worse…sent to jail. I can’t afford a “black middle class” neighborhood at this time, IF they even have one here in Podunk. But I grew up in the Projects and the ghetto and my people are incredibly STILL S.O.S. in my opinion. Still spouting the same old rhetoric about the MAN won’t let them advance, but doing nothing to change their own outward appearance or mind-set about da hood. Nah, I’ve had my fill of ratchets and their partners….Bebe’s kids really work my last nerve anyway because Bebe didn’t want them, doesn’t raise them and only wanted the check they generate every month, but doesn’t have enough wits about her to register to vote.
“I can live around them because I am not afraid of them, but it requires staying ON POINT all the time, so I rely on technology…”
Yep, remain diligent as always and stay up on white supremacy and their culture as well.

@ Alicia
It is hard to understand how a group can enjoy heaping misery on other people and do it in such a relentless and systematic fashion. It takes a different nature to hate other people who have done nothing to you. Yes, it is sick and scary but what is even more scary (to me) is the reaction of their victims who also MIMIC their behavior against other victims.
That’s why I created this site, to encourage others to take this system seriously and understand that this is a matter of life and death.
“…but what is even more scary (to me) is the reaction of their victims who also MIMIC their behavior against other victims…”
That has been my plight for the past three decades not Trojan Pam and Alicia. I tried to deny it for a loonnng time since we were raised afro-centric, we all graduated from college, and we all owned our own homes. But when they started opening my offspring open to violent attacks, I couldn’t ignore it anymore and got the heck out of Dodge. I told myself to let those lowlifes survive or die without any input or assist from me.
@Trojan Pam
Regarding your statement, “Yes, it is sick and scary but what is even more scary (to me) is the reaction of their victims who also MIMIC their behavior against other victims.”
I totally agree and it would not be so bad if we could readily identify the dangerous, infected ones and can keep them at a safe distance before they start mimicking the bad behavior toward other victims. I say this because even more scary are those who claim to be so pro-black, socially-conscious but at the same time tend to impose their self-hatred on other blacks. They often look very Afrocentric, sport dreadlocks or some other natural hairstyle, wear African attire, etc. and are sometimes some of the most white-identified, confused people you ever crossed. These types are even more dangerous because they are more deceiving. They are no more sincere than someone walking around with a Bible spouting a lot of religious rhetoric while deceiving and ripping his or her congregation off.
Sharon 53, have you ever read the “Willie Lynch Letters”? I think the media is using the same tactics today.
“… I HAVE A FULL PROOF METHOD FOR CONTROLLING YOUR BLACK SLAVES. I guarantee every one of you that, if installed correctly, IT WILL CONTROL THE SLAVES FOR AT LEAST 300 HUNDREDS YEARS. My method is simple. Any member of your family or your overseer can use it. I HAVE OUTLINED A NUMBER OF DIFFERENCES AMONG THE SLAVES; AND I TAKE THESE DIFFERENCES AND MAKE THEM BIGGER. I USE FEAR, DISTRUST AND ENVY FOR CONTROL PURPOSES. These methods have worked on my modest plantation in the West Indies and it will work throughout the South. Take this simple little list of differences and think about them. On top of my list is “AGE,” but it’s there only because it starts with an “a.” The second is “COLOR” or shade. There is INTELLIGENCE, SIZE, SEX, SIZES OF PLANTATIONS, STATUS on plantations, ATTITUDE of owners, whether the slaves live in the valley, on a hill, East, West, North, South, have fine hair, course hair, or is tall or short. Now that you have a list of differences, I shall give you an outline of action, but before that, I shall assure you that DISTRUST IS STRONGER THAN TRUST AND ENVY STRONGER THAN ADULATION, RESPECT OR ADMIRATION. The Black slaves after receiving this indoctrination shall carry on and will become self-refueling and self-generating for HUNDREDS of years, maybe THOUSANDS. Don’t forget, you must pitch the OLD black male vs. the YOUNG black male, and the YOUNG black male against the OLD black male. You must use the DARK skin slaves vs. the LIGHT skin slaves, and the LIGHT skin slaves vs. the DARK skin slaves. You must use the FEMALE vs. the MALE, and the MALE vs. the FEMALE. You must also have white servants and overseers [who] distrust all Blacks. But it is NECESSARY THAT YOUR SLAVES TRUST AND DEPEND ON US. THEY MUST LOVE, RESPECT AND TRUST ONLY US. Gentlemen, these kits are your keys to control. Use them. Have your wives and children use them, never miss an opportunity. IF USED INTENSELY FOR ONE YEAR, THE SLAVES THEMSELVES WILL REMAIN PERPETUALLY DISTRUSTFUL….”
@Lischelle
Yes, I have read the “Willie Lynch Letter.” Some historians claim the letter was a hoax that was put out there on the Internet in the mid-1990s by a student. It does not matter whether it was a hoax or not, because that mindset described in that letter did exist and still is as embroiled in American soil as apple pie to this day. I see and hear this madness all the time. The only thing is it is presented in a different form today, sometimes it is overt and sometimes it is covert. I even heard my father speak of some of those atrocities so he had to have witnessed them because it is no way my father could have had access to the Internet.
Yes, I heard it was a “hoax” also, but I don’t believe it either Sharon53. White folks always like to flip the scrip when they get PEEPED, just like Donald Trump is currently doing in his campaign trips.
As for your post concerning Alicia…the only thing I objected to was her comment about them being “crazy” or having a mental illness.
It sure does and that’s why in my mid 30’s I have learned to stay away from them. The behavior is sick and scary.As a black woman in white corporate america, I keep having this experience where whites try to be divisive and want to homosexualize black males while put alot of effort into trying to malign black women. It’s creepy and scary. Also how obsessed they act with us. scary!
re:
“It takes a different nature to hate other people who have done nothing to you.”
The reason BW are absent around BM in tv, movies, is because they know how untrustworthy BM are and are tired of putting up with their infidelities On the otherhand, overweight white chicks who haven’t had a date since Jr high are more than happy when a black man comes around looking to hook-up, and perhaps get some party money from the dumb over weight WM.
@charlescongolese
Many BM and BW are trustworthy, strong, and love Black Love. Anyone condemning all black people is wrong. I am a black man and I have never dated a white woman and I never will. Also, believing in black liberation is a must and it’s not equivalent to a “reverse KKK.” I don’t follow your agenda. I follow black liberation.
@ Timothy
There is something suspicious about charlescongolese.
I will take care of the remaining posts.
@Sister Trojan Pam
I agree with you. His words outline contradictions and a promotion of the gender wars between BM and BW. We are against the system of white supremacy and we desire black people to establish cogent solutions to combat that evil system.
@ Timothy
Black Gender Wars are the most powerful forms of sabotage against the black population. Without unity, we have NOTHING but empty words.
@ charlescongolese
That is totally incorrect.
BW NOR BM have NO CONTROL over WHO is in TV commercials or TV shows or movies.
White people are the ones who make that decision.
I try to respect everyone’s opinions and give everyone the freedom to post their opinions on my blog but there is a limit.
This is not a social media site. This is a site created for ONLY ONE REASON
To help the black victims of white supremacy understand how this system functions and make better choices that will lead to the end of white supremacy.
Charlescongolese:
If your intent is like many other TROLLS, to run up in here and wreck shop, then divide and conquer? You are on the WRONG site. We, ALL OF US are about BLACK liberation and promoting our interests, e.g. group economics, black love, family, etc. for a few examples.
You need to get out more. For example, lets look at Tiger Woods. He is a successful black male, no doubt. Yet he married a WHITE female named Elin Nordegren. And she busted him out too many times to count for extra-marital indiscretions that were also revealed by several different other women and low and behold, “not one of them was a BLACK woman!” But they were all ho’s (the man WAS married!) and gold-diggers. Yet you see the BLACK woman as detrimental to the BLACK male? Black women do not control what occurs in mainstream society or on the idiot box (TV). White society, Jews included, DO.
I would love to know how you would rationalize this since you are so sure that BLACK women are a thorn in the side of BLACK males?
This site was created to teach and educate masses of brothers and sisters, that may not be in the know, about ourselves. And when TROLLS such as yourself appear on BLACK sites? That is when we know that we ARE all coming full circle in self-actualization.
Do us ALL a favor? Trip, trap. Go BACK under the bridge with the other TROLLS and entertain one another. You are not wanted or needed here.
“Yes, I said that.”
Your move.
Phazex_Female
@Sister Phazex_Female
Great Points Sister.
I have definitely noticed an uptick in commercials with black men and white women.Also recent ads showcase the Black man is the only person of color in a social setting. I am glad others have noticed this message being programmed to us.
I need “the Interracial Con Game” in my life.
@ angel9loveu
I wish we all understood the ‘game’ that’s being run on us
It’s real obvious. But they have conned,tricked and deceived us with their false truths many have fallen for the okie doke again.And others are keeping hope “that they’re not all evil”. I say once we get out from them and their distractions things will become clearer.
The problem is we want what they want and the bible states we should “touch no unclean thing.”
I know I’m not the only black woman who used to think all black male celebs are with white women. It’s because the mainstream white media makes it appear as if so with the couples they celebrate. Whites wish for black women to be maligned, unwanted, walk around feeling like crap and so on. Their media reflects their opinions and desires.
You can only see the truth in the black media to see that most black male celebs are, naturally, with black women.
If you go to certain message boards like on youtube and news sites you will see young black woman spouting the same about most black men and most black celebs being with white women because of the media.
Then again I also had a black woman ask me the other day “so where are all the black men, in jail?” I was like err ummmm. I could tell she doesn’t go out much, but gets her info from the racist media.
It’s because of the media, so I tune out. Who really want’s racist double-standards seeping into their personal lives anyway?
I meant the book though, I love reading and receiving information on our people.And many times comparing observations.
No I have not noticed that but I don’t watch a lot of tv, maybe 3 hours a week.
@ scottytreid
You’re definitely not missing anything
yep, I noticed BW are now WW best friends in these silly commercials, promoting the ILLUSION that we BW (as a community) are cool with WW (as a community) and that ain’t true, lol. I’ve noticed too, that BM are usually the only people of color in a social setting, with no BW in sight, but a sea of WW stretching as far as the eye can see (eyeroll). They’ve started turning the heat up on BM/WW interracials as well, so yes Ms Pam, the white supremacists lies don’t get past these eyes. I really like how you summed up the BM being heavily “white identified” and heavily reliant on white validation, while BW are demoralized, angry and mentally ill. This is sooooo true, hard to hear, but true nonetheless. Black lives will never “matter” if we don’t start loving, cherishing, honoring and respecting our natural mates. It all starts in the home, David Banner just recently publicly acknowledged no social movement will gain traction without mutual love and respect between the Black man and his woman.
@ Providence
I agree, they want us divided
Just like a herd of water buffalo in the midst of hungry lions. They know there is STRENGTH in UNIFIED numbers but let the lions scatter the herd and they will easily take them down
ONE AT A TIME.
But a UNIFIED herd is DANGEROUS to a pack of lions and often kill lions who get too close
in other words, they wish to harm us. Black women and black men. what a sick mentality!
I have definitely noticed it. Even though Ellis-Ross is biracial, besides Blackish, I can’t think of another show where there is a Black couple that is loving and affectionate with mostly positive interactions. The norm is just the opposite. Black women are either the sidechick, involved yet unhappy or with a non-Black.
It’s very disheartening because I know exactly what mainstream media is determined to destroy Us while the sheep continue to happily eat it up.
@ kelley
The bi-racial angle is another ASPECT of divide and conquer. Have you noticed that most of the “black” people in commercials and print advertising, especially women and children are biracial?
It is the SAME THING as saying, the bi-racial black is the NEW and IMPROVED black, and this is what black people should be STRIVING to produce.
How so many have not noticed this trend is one of the mysteries of the universe (as far as I’m concerned)
“…It is the SAME THING as saying, the bi-racial black is the NEW and IMPROVED black, and this is what black people should be STRIVING to produce.

Ahhhh, but we HAVE noticed, unfortunately we are among the “voiceless masses” and our, or rather my opinion doesn’t really count for much.

Yes it’s everywhere. In the show Sleepy Hollow a white man is paired with a black woman. Just like the show Scandal. There’s even the new show Supergirl. Supergirl flirts with the character Jimmy Olsen(played by a black actor). There’s also another black actor on the show but no black women. The new show Minority Report has beautiful black actress Meagan Good as the lead. I’m a big Meagan fan. I was excited when I heard she had her own show…….but then realized her partner was a white man. I’ve seen this pattern on shows like The Flash,How to Get Away with Murder etc. The pattern is too prevalent to be a coincidence. This is clearly a racist plan to keep us divided. They don’t want to show black men and women loving and caring for each other. But they’re quick to show us loving other races. Even a blind man can see this agenda! It’s a very sick agenda!
Thanks for this post Pam. Hopefully this will open up some minds. We must stay on our counter racist grind! The struggle is not over.
We’ve been trying to open eyes and some have but there are many still living in complacency with their accusatory stance. Many claim we’re reading too deep or it’s just a show nothing more. A great mistake we make is to not realize they reveal their plans and intentions in these “harmless” movies.Sociopaths tend to tell/ show us their plans but we’re so lost in the fallacy we can’t see farther than out noses.The poison has seeped into those who have bought into this fake race unity.And all we can do is sit and watch this unravel before our eyes.
“Race Unity” is a bunch of malarkey just like “Post Racial Society.” How can something be “post” when it is still very much active in all of it’s evil forms?
I hear you talking though.
Exactly, a bunch of malarkey, they are so sinister and deliberate in their motives they think if they deny what’s happening in society and put a bandaid over this gushing wound that’ll do the trick.
Their defense is denial,blame shifting and acting stupid. And this BS that it’s the Jews fault.Now the being a Jew is an ethnicity. These morons refer to any white person they want o disassociate from now as a Jew.As if they’re not still white. We’re up against against some seriously destructive principalities.
It is like a disease….”minority” races typically do not act out of FEAR because these sub-humans control their economics, law, etc.
And this is what ALL other races should make a conscious decision to not do, “operate in fear and fear of retaliation.”
CORRECTION: “DO act out of fear.”
Phazex_Female
You’re right but it’s so sad. That’s why I do my blog. I haven’t given up on my people. I’m trying to open up their minds. Although I acknowledge that some can’t be saved. Many of our people are happy slaves. And it will be their undoing.
“Happy slaves” indeed and if they don’t hop off that bandwagon ASAP, they’ll just reap the consequences.
You ain’t lying sista!!
I agree 100%
Thank you Mike.
@ Kushite Prince
We are so thrilled to BE on TV we don’t seem to care that we are NEVER with each other (in a loving, positive sense)
And I do NOT consider a dumb sitcom as a representative of black relationships. What are we? A race of jokers and clowns?
Yet, white people are loving each other all over the TV and movie screen. You can’t turn on the tube or see a movie without white people smiling and loving and sexing each other.
It appears that they are the ONLY ONES allowed to be sexual (in a healthy way) or in love in a white supremacy entertainment system
YET, the non-white people (black, brown, red, and yellow) are EATING IT UP like manna from heaven
And I have to believe we must be truly INSANE not to have a problem with this imagery (??)
For a group of people to have their BASIC HUMANITY denied them and not be disturbed about it is a sign of DEEP INSANITY
Sometimes, I want to throw up my hands and find something more constructive to do with my time
I know the frustration you’re talking about. Some of us are just so happy to on television no matter what capacity. We are always laughing and joking around. I love to laugh too. But there are times to be serious. And our current condition is no laughing matter. I know other bloggers get frustrated as well. But I think the followers really appreciate you,Negress,Brotha Wolf,Original Black Woman,Cree,Gus and others. We do it not for fame but because we love our people. And because we are fighters and won’t quit. I believe the Most High is on our side. And we will win in the end. We were the first people on the planet……..and shall be the last.
@Kushite Prince.
I agree with you Brother.
Thanks!
We need our own media outlets, seriously. I see everything you’re saying. I also work in an environment like that. Whites are doing this all over the world with their media. I know hispanics don’t love us as blacks however I notice the same thing in hispanic culture. The media is all lily WHITE, while the majority of people look nothing like that. one reason many of them are so mentally screwed by white supremacy and ashamed of their native american, african or other ancestry.
Therein lies the problem.
When extreme opposite races are moved thousands of miles from their natural homes to artificially cohabitate with each other, how could ill-feelings NOT evolve?
@ charlescongolese
The “ill-feelings” you speak of came from 500 YEARS OF WHITE SUPREMACIST OPPRESSION, not from “artifically cohabitation”
I find your posts somewhat troubling and frankly, a bit suspicious. Many times, whites will come on blogs like this and masquerade as black people. After a while you get a sort of instinct for sniffing those imposters out. Whether you are one or not, I find your posts non-constructive and have made a decision to limit your participation on this blog.
It is indeed. That’s the only way I can put it. People who think and behave like this have sick, psychotic issues. Also, it’s like they have an obsession with us. I mean times when everyone is chill, minding their own business is when you find the racist ones strangely focused on absolute strangers minding their own business. I notice in the hispanic culture too, after having acceptted and dealt with white supremacy, are such that there are tons of epithets for blacks like “mayate” and “morena” or “moreno” or “chocolate”, however if you ever spend time around Latinos, you NEVER hear the black ones or darker ones talking about skin color or having any terms for white or lightskin.
Re: ” It’s a very sick agenda!”
Yes I have heard Hispanics use those terms. Many Hispanics are very racist towards blacks. Just like other races….they think they’re better than us.
@ Prince:
In their naivete, many do not realize (although there are many that DO )) that they are victims of white supremacy as well. As pointed out previously, Hispanics are just a “social barrier” between black people and white supremacy/racism. Other races included.
You’re correct Phazex. They are oppressed as well. Even though many Hispanics desperately want to be white.
Speaking of Hispanics,have you seen the new show Rosewood? It stars Morris Chestnut in the lead role. I know many black women have a huge crush on him. But on the show he is a doctor paired with a Hispanic female cop. There is a lot of sexual tension between them. I’ve only seen two episodes but I can already tell that at some point they will become a couple.
At first I was excited when I saw beautiful dark skinned actress Gabrielle Dennis on the show. But then I realized she was playing the sister of Morris character. I should’ve known this would happen. Hollyweird can’t allow two attractive dark skinned people to be in love. They have to find some way to keep them separated. But wait……it gets worse. Gabrielle is a lesbian on the show! Isn’t that insane?? And her girlfriend is a white woman!! How sick is that? They killed two birds with one stone. Not only is she a lesbian but she’s in an interracial(tragic) relationships. This is straight out of the Lee Daniels handbook of black degradation. This is proof that television is mental pollution.
OMG…a lesbian in a bi-racial relationship…smdh. Thanks Prince, now I don’t feel bad about NOT watching that nonsense
Yes it’s really sick. It’s an agenda that is in hyper drive right now! They rather show black people engaged in sexual deviancy with whites than show healthy normal blacks in love. And some fools have the nerve to tell me I’m exaggerating about this. They are the blind fools. They just don’t want to admit the truth that’s right in their faces. I’m not sugarcoating things anymore. Our people are in a state of emergency. Too many of us have become wimps and cowards when dealing with reality. It’s time to face reality and admit we have an enemy that wants to keep brainwashing our people. And tv,films and magazines are the tools they use. Every chance they get they spoon feed us black degradation and sexual perversion. And I am personally sick and tired of this garbage!! You feel me?
Yes, sir….indeed I do, I totally understand.
Power,Rosewood,Empire are displaying a new way to demean black love.. The black guy with the while girl dishonestly classified as a nonwhite(Latina).
Yeah that’s true. It’s done in a real slick way. I’ve been thinking of doing a post about this subject. We have to always be aware of the tactics they to demean black love.
Kushite Prince, if you do a post on treachery in Holly Weird by actors and producers, please include the ULTIMATE insult of having a white guy playing Martin L. King, Jr. onstage. I think that is the biggest frikkin betrayal of our time….smdh
What?? I never heard about that! Who is it? Is it in a film or a play? That’s really crazy!!
“The writer behind the acclaimed “The Mountaintop” play about Martin Luther King Jr. is outraged after an Ohio college cast a white actor to portray the iconic civil rights leader.
Katori Hall blasted Kent State University and the director of the school’s amateur presentation for their “tone deaf” decision to have a white man play the role of the historic figure.
“The casting of a white King is committing yet another erasure of the black body,” Hall wrote Monday in a scathing piece in The Root. “Sure, it might be in the world of pretend, but it is disrespectful nonetheless.”
The furious 34-year-old dramatist said she was stunned when she first caught wind of the controversial casting in early October from a colleague.
“The actor playing King stood there, hands outstretched, his skin far from chocolate but a creamy buff. At first glance I was like, ‘Unh-uh, maybe he light-skinned. Don’t punish the brother for being able to pass,'” she said.
But she soon found out director Michael Oatman, an adjunct playwriting professor at the school, had in fact double-cast the role of MLK with a black actor and a white actor.
Both men would split the six-performance run at the university’s Department of Pan-African Studies African Community Theater from Sept. 25 to Oct. 4.
“Kent State had broken a world record; it was the first ‘Mountaintop’ production to make King white,” Hall said. “Rage would come in the morning.”
Oatman, who did not immediately return requests for comment, said in an August press release that he purposefully selected the white and black actors to “stir discussion” about race.
“I truly wanted to explore the issue of racial ownership and authenticity. I didn’t want this to be a stunt, but a true exploration of King’s wish that we all be judged by the content of our character and not the color of our skin,” he said at the time.
Playwright Katori Hall is furious after a white actor was cast as Martin Luther King in her acclaimed “The Mountaintop” play.
Handschuh, David,, NY Daily News
Playwright Katori Hall is furious after a white actor was cast as Martin Luther King in her acclaimed “The Mountaintop” play.
“I wanted the contrast,” Oatman added. “I wanted to see how the words rang differently or indeed the same, coming from two different actors, with two different racial backgrounds.”
The casting surprised actress Cristal Christian, who plays the role of Camae, the mysterious maid, according to the same release.
“My first response was, what do you mean Martin Luther King is going to be white?” she said, admitting to being nervous about the controversy.
Several people stormed out of the shows, Hall said, though many stayed out of curiosity.
“Our stories are worthy of that pedestal we call the stage, and our black bodies must stand unaltered in that spotlight, so that our skin, like King’s, can reflect back our humanity and we can all see ourselves in it,” Hall said….”
This is what I found in a search Kushite Prince,
I didn’t hear about this. This is horrible! They want to whitewash everything. Low life bastards!
Totally concur, and now I appreciate this site even more. Did you also hear that the Texas schoolboard has completely erased slavery from high school textbooks? According to them, black people were actually PAID, migrant workers….for 400 YEARS!! These people are awful, and each one of you with offspring have a DUTY to the Ancestors to teach your children the truth!!
Yes I did hear about that. They want to rewrite history again. They will stoop to anything to maintain power and control over masses. This is a new low…..even for them! I really pray for the next generation. It’s going to be really bad. In twenty years the anti-blackness will be at an all time high! Worse than it is now. If you can even imagine that.
“… In twenty years the anti-blackness will be at an all time high! Worse than it is now. If you can even imagine that. ”
Yes sir, I can imagine it as can Reality Check if I am reading the post correctly. Like I said, I am too old to go back to sharecropping or even chattel slavery, but my sons are at their “prime breeding age”. Some of them are slowly becoming aware of white supremacy and their terror-tactics, the younger ones were already knowledgeable but still powerless of course. Still, all of them are watching events occurring between us and the kkkops and they are learning a painful lesson as a result.
It makes white liberals feel as if their making societal advances by portraying unnatural pairing of races.
Mansion-style white liberals are more of an enemy to blacks then the white conservative bubba in Montgomery.
Lee Daniels plays his “role” perfectly for Freakwood (Hollywood). I have heard much about him, but like many other actors in Freakwood, I do not follow or keep tabs on him, Morris Chestnut and most other actors. At best, Lee Daniels can borrow my lipstick and that’s about it.
The problem is that many of our black people ARE mentally “swallowing” the subliminal to outright messages that Freakwood puts out there. And yes, I do agree with you that Freakwood does NOT want to see any signs of positive black love–news paper included. You have heard of keep hope alive? Well, the same rule applies to black relationships. Anyone can find their love in another color camp if they want to, however it should not be bru ha ha’d when black individuals find love with one another. But that’s how white supremacy works. “Divide and conquer.” Again, it took over 500 years to indoctrinate masses of black people, therefore, with conscious effort, our race should fight white supremacy COLLECTIVELY tooth and nail. And globaly as well.
As for Hispanics, many WILL have their hats handed to them at some point, believe me. However,we cannot afford to worry about them. We have a plethora of problems in our OWN race that must be addressed and hopefully solved not to mention economically speaking, this racist society is continual in its attempts to place blacks on the bottom rung of the economic ladder.
Oh, and as to your statement that “Hispanics think that they are BETTER than us,” If individuals KEEP stating this, well Hispanics are apt to believe it as well.
Brother, “be BETTER than the world has taught you to be.”
Phazex_Female
Hispanics are doing what others have done for centuries, race mixing so their children can benefit from “White Privilege” while their grandparents are as dark as me if not darker, they just had straight hair like the black people in India. They got lighter after the British started raping them, and now there is a campaign to get all the women to use skin bleaching cream so they can get the “perks” of being near white.
Thank you for that. I will definitely keep those wise words in mine.
But notice, Kushite, as I mentioned, that the dark ones do not have slurs for the light ones. It’s just like with us in the english speaking world. Blacks going about their lives, minding our business. Meanwhile, white racists having all sorts of slurs, stereotypes, evil wishes for and sick preoccupations with blacks. It just seems like bullies and evilness often wins. I have watched bullies win for so long and have watched bad people prosper. I just don’t know anymore…
I know it’s tough. It can be mentally draining at times. But keep pushing and hold your head up. The righteous win in the end.
@Kushiteprince
You’re exactly right. Evil racists feed off of negative energy, hatred, and other forms of nihilism. That is why we should keep on going onward with our lives, fight evil, and never ever give up. In the end, the righteous will win. The truth is on our side.
I feel the same way brother. Thank you!
Totally on point Alicia, EVERY other race/ethnicity can come here and advance EXCEPT the blacker ones that is. I have known Africans that live here complain about some A As giving them grief because they have been told that ancient Africans sold them into slavery, so their insults and backstabbing is “payback”. The Africans that came here to study were encouraged by their parents to marry a white female before they return home. As for Latinos….yeah, the white ones are racist usually and that is why Zimmerman got away with killing an un-armed black teen…smdh, White man with a taco!!
“Correct.”
Phazex_Female
@ lischelle:
How right you are regarding the “lightening syndrome” in Hispanics. I agree whole-heartedly. As is in other ethnic groups as well, especially Asians. Kow-towing to white supremacy. Dam shame.
Phazex_Female
“No more back-ward thinking, time for thinking AHEAD. The world has changed so very much from what it used to be, there still is hatred, war and poverty.”
While I see the LOGIC in what you are saying, Phazex Female, something inside me can’t be angry with them for wanting to be “white” … especially in this country. The “perks” of white privilege include being able to get a job, regardless of you being qualified for it; you can then live pretty much wherever you can afford; you qualify for a loan…even with bad credit, just mention that you know so-and-so or went to a certain school and you are in like Flynn! I could go on, but I’m sure you get the point. Imagine never having to worry about your child coming home in tears, because someone called him a “N” and there is nothing you can do to change things….smh.
Just like I can’t get angry when a black person is able to PASS for white, except for the continuous fear of being discovered….I say go for it. Black people have been bamboozled for a long time about our own greatness never existing, but now SOME truths are coming to light, even from some white scholars and historians who no longer care about a white backlash.
Reblogged this on One Tawny Stranger.
Not as much as white men with black females.
“Not as much as white men with black females.”
The number of BM/WW couples OUTWEIGH WM/BW couples 0-100.
But BW/WW are catching up BW are saying ‘to hell’ with waiting on brothers and or under the misconception that the WM loves their and features more than BM (not true). I smell a rat and a well devised plot in the midst.
Sorry I meant *BW/WM
@ jazz
absolutely true, but see how useful this dynamic is in fostering misunderstandings, resentments, and accusations between black males and females?
this imagery works like a CHARM to destroy ANY possibility of UNITY between us
All by design
“…“Not as much as white men with black females.” The number of BM/WW couples OUTWEIGH WM/BW couples 0-100….”
I’ve noticed that as well Jazz, and I think it is because MOST black WOMEN won’t let a WM they are having sex with ?casually use the “N” word when referring to her people, but lots of BM have no problem with it. They tend to protect their WF better than they would a BF, and excuse that B S because rappers use it on stage. She does NOT get a “pass”, but I would have to kill his sorry behind if I give his HO a beatdown. So you get them young brothers heads spun around the right way and get back to me.
Remember the Chris Rock joke. When can a white person say n……r,during sex. He mentioned Rachel Ray
@ Mike
sorry but I must disagree. There are many more roles in movies and TV for black males than for black females
however, most black females who are in “sexual” relationships do play the role of a white man’s whore
but we seldom get a chance to even do that
there is definitely a BLACKOUT of black actresses
Yet, black females watch more TV and movies than black males
go figure….
I am wondering if this is the same “Mike” that posted a comment in 2013?
The first step to making any change, is to realize where you actually are.
We don’t know. (As a whole.)
Step 2. The recognition of the true situations being faced.
We focus so hard on ethnic battles, we forget that its a wealth issue.
Thirdly, evaluation of the dilemma.
Failure to plan, is a plan for failure.
Finally, commit and act.
Do something about it.
…seems simple enough. Right?

@ Mike
The focus of this blog is RACISM/WHITE SUPREMACY for a very good reason. The system of white supremacy dominates every aspect of our lives, regardless of how much money a non-white person has.
By establishing a system of DOMINANCE based on “skin color” this GUARANTEES white people will always be “wealthier” than non-whites collectively. Wealth is simply a BYPRODUCT of the system NOT the system, itself.
If we lived under a system of GREEN SUPREMACY, wealthy blacks would be treated the same as wealthy whites.
We know this is not true.
If wealth was the biggest issue, wealthy blacks would NOT experience ANY racism because their “wealth” would outrank their skin color
We know this is NOT true.
You are free to disagree, but the OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE does not support your statement
@Phazex — great points about the fallacy of Green Supremacy. There’s no such thing, I’m sick and tired of people pulling that stunt b/c they’re too scared to see white supremacy for what it is. I’ve noticed the people who usuallytout this false rhetoric are in IRRs themselves, or IRR sympathizers.
@ Phazex_Female
Black people focus entirely too much on money and not enough on what constitutes REAL POWER
Real power takes more than paper money.
Real power determines what that paper is worth
Real power is manifested by the INSTITUTIONS and LEGACIES you build.
That’s why they make sure that black people DO NOT BUILD any lasting institutions by dismantling and/or controlling our communities, our historically black colleges, and encouraging the more successful and educated blacks to MARRY OUT
We have a BLACK BRAIN DRAIN in our communities, where our most educated and ambitious blacks are being indocrinated by the white supremacy system so those talents and ambitions will be used to build WHITE INSTITUTIONS and power and to enrich the lives of white spouses
and then we wonder why, at the end of the day, our communities remain poor and stagnated.
Spot on as usual Trojan Pam, now…any suggestions on how to turn this around? I’m tired of being forced to move on by knuckleheads.
@ lischelle
I’ve made a lot of suggestions on this blog and in my books so it would take too long to repost them here. My biggest suggestions are
1. educated ourselves about white supremacy and get out of denial
2. stop having sex with white people
3. keep an emotional distance from white people because it forces black people into deep denial when we have close emotional relationships (friendships and relationships) with white people
4. be willing to sacrifice something that is either harming us financially and psychologically (and that means eliminating demeaning entertainment from our homes and away from our children
5. Talk honestly to our children about racism
6. Find a way to contribute and DO SOMETHING
“…1. educated ourselves about white supremacy and get out of denial
2. stop having sex with white people
3. keep an emotional distance from white people because it forces black people into deep denial when we have close emotional relationships (friendships and relationships) with white people”
EMOTIONAL distance isn’t a problem for me; like I said…I’m retired now, so I don’t HAVE to interact with many white people anymore than a business interaction is concerned. It is other black people that I am having emotional problems with; mostly immediate family because of the children who grew up together, but weren’t told the truth at a young age and now things are very unsettled because of it.
” 4. be willing to sacrifice something that is either harming us financially and psychologically (and that means eliminating demeaning entertainment from our homes and away from our children”
For ME, it is family members…I let go, but they are a bit entrenched in trying to control my life and finances for their own greed. I learned real well how to LET GO, but they still have issues; plus, my son has ratchet baby mamas that don’t have a clue about afro-centric thoughts and don’t want me teaching their children “that black activist sh*t!”….their words, not mine, and except for trying to save my grandchildren from ratchet culture and mind-set, I don’t see much that I can do. They mostly have girls, but after I saw them entrap my sons for a CHECK, I only focus on their sons and the kkkops as much as I can anyway.
” 5. Talk honestly to our children about racism
6. Find a way to contribute and DO SOMETHING”
Contribute to WHOM exactly? I’ve donated to every black organization there is but I can’t JOIN any religious organizations as I think they are all pretty much a sham. You say “DO SOMETHING”, such as? If one more ratchet head or Bebe’s kids tell me “You ain’t my mama” after I try to keep them out of the crosshairs of the KkKops and the Criminal Justice system, or being picked to become the newest member on the Stroll because she dresses like a HO/tramp….you will hear me scream bloody murder! I don’t know who said it, but you can’t help someone that doesn’t know they desperately need help but not a hand-out.
I applaud your site – it is NEW to me – and your enthusiasm to try and help these idiots, but seriously…they can wear out a rug!! And constantly complaining about I have never been poor, and don’t know what it is like. I knew enough to stay in school, go onto college and NOT have babies before I was married and depend on welfare to support my family. This RANT is NOT directed at you Trojan Pam, but I am tired of marching and protesting to support this ignant, bunch of young folks. Thanks for the suggestions, btw….but I am NOT going back into the hood trying to save those idiots that won’t flip burgers because it is beneath them….or so I was told.
@Trojan Pam
Thanks Pam, for doing that great summary. I would like to add something to #3 and that is also keep a safe emotional distance from destructive, white-identified people, especially those in interracial relationships because all they mostly will do is impose their self-hatred on those of us who are trying to live the listed suggestions #1 through #6 you posted above.
“I have seen that we have a tendency to support the very worst kneegrows in the black community, for far too long and we become “enablers”
That is the TRUTH. Individuals, who have shown you time after time after time that they are NOT willing to elevate their thinking nor change negative behaviors and still, many blacks over-whelmingly support and enable these individuals.
I see ’em like a fish market, “throw that fish back!” Or is it that the individual that is enabling that person “stuck on STUPID?” I have individuals like this in classes whose mind-set is just as you have described like a group mentality. And, as stated before, as black people we all are NOT monolithic. smh….
Trojan Pam:
“You ARE preaching to the choir here.” And yes, black communities remain poor and stagnated, much of it due to greed (yes, even by our very own people), MISeducation, sell-outs, call it for what it is.
Many of our ambitious and educated blacks, when seeking higher education, for the most part, DO end up enrolling at white-based institutions. And THAT is just PART of the problem in the equation. It is like having a “pie,” sliced with many differing negative (slices) variables for our black race. Again, I stand on it that if one wants to become “conscious,” they MUST seek, as the Prince has said, “knowledge of self” and just as important, “elevate their thinking.”
Spirit loves a humble person.
Excellent post, Sista Pam.

Reblogged this on NO ONE HEARS YOUR SILENCE.
I have an idea…
Why do we just turn off the TV and read more books?
Or plant a garden…
Or learn to sew…
Or develop some kind of skill for when they shut off the power grid? Like canning Food?
My friend told me that this year she “got serious” and cleaned out her basement. She sold the things that were “excess” and used the money to buy freeze dried food, water, bandages, etc and is making her basement into a giant food pantry. She even asked me how to plant a potato box.
The attack on Paris confirmed her fears that “They’re coming.”
Perhaps we can do the same, no?
No one is FORCING us to watch drivel. No one is forcing us to date, marry and sex Yurugu. No one is forcing us to buy degrading music and video games. We are to be blamed for our compliance with this system. Let yurugu do as he/ she must.
It’s what they are here for.
We do not have to go along with it.
And regarding the Negro populous…
Do we really want them with us? Do we really want these brainwashed, brain dead people in our community when shit hits the fan? Not only will they lead us into certain death, but they’ll draw much attention to our fighters, medicine men/ women and healers.
Is that what we want?
Let them die.
I repeat, Let them die.
You cannot help the vanquished for they are already gone.
What we need to do is focus and re-direct our energy to what:
We’re going to do
We’re going to need to survive the coming crash
And who we can rely on to HELP us for we cannot do this alone. Let Paris be our guide. Those whites are (allegedly) under Martial Law. If that happens here, where will you find food? Or water? Or find shelter if your home is bombed/ burned/ bulldozed?
Remember that Evil never offers you anything constructive so it’s no shock that ALL PAID blacks on TV and in the movies are under a spell and operating AGAINST our best interest. That’s why they are rich and famous in the first place…because they’ve sold their souls.
Turn off the TV and get to work…
This is a great point, Diary of a Negress. I’ve recently been involved in Urban gardening for exactly this reason. I have no green thumb, but I must stick with it, bc I feels this sense of urgency to grow my own food to feed my family when ish hits the fan. I don’t know when or how, but I have this daunting feeling BAD things will happen, and right now I’m TOTALLY dependent on my neighborhood Safeway which sells GMOs and frankenfood anyway — no bueno 😦 I want to break that dependency on “yurugu” for our food security.
i feel exactly the same way. only i am white. these problems we face can be overcome quicker and with less bloodshed on our side if we stand united. the white racists & the black racists can bicker amongst eachother until the cows come home, neither of them will make headway. both of them will succumb to evil forces that see not in color but in religeous belief.
No shocker. Can you be any less predictable? Why aren’t you spreading this “unity” to your people? Newsflash, racism wasn’t started by black people we are on the receiving end so I suggest you take your great ideas to the SOURCE; your white people.And your initial comment was a dead giveaway.Thanks for being so obvious that you people can’t and will never change.
my concerns of islamic extremists coming to america to insitute their faith and kill those who dont abide is a giveaway? the fact that two supposedly different folks share the same concerns should give testiment as to how alike we really are.
MY white people? i am an individual. . .
& the source of our future grievances along with the history of enslavement of my ancestors are those who live by the quran. combined with a police state & a tyrranical govt that could give two hoots about white independants who barely scrape by while risking life & limb in their trade. like me. they want me gone just as much as they want you gone! condemn me all you want! it won’t stop me from considering you an equal and an allied.
quit generalizing! and highest of regards fellow human.
@ Theodore,
What the raas does Islamic extremism have to do with this topic? I smell troll.
And why would the “Jews who run Hollywood” be the only ones not affected by this, as opposed to the other ‘whites’ who also run Hollywood?
it dosn’t have context to the original text. it was in context to a response.
how can a television show be such a powerful tool?
you likely never took notice of the number of green ford explorers on the roads until you bought one. after that you notice said vehicles without even focusing any consciencious effort.
everyone is proficient in identifying outside attacks on their own identity. others, not so much.
“Everyone is proficient in… not so much”
Typical ‘white’ self-defence tactic to not answer a direct race-related question. I asked why should Jews be the only ones not affected by this topic of the post and not to the rest of the ‘white’ Hollywood bosses. Yes I am generalising because I and most other ‘black’ people who talk about racial stuff around ‘whites’ receive the same kind of response. Our generalisations are based on multitudes of shared experience thus we are perfectly justified.
Furthermore, if you read my blog you’ll see how much I identify attacks on on people outside my own identity.
(But please don’t leave comments, I don’t want to deal with more avoidance of racial topics)
Black family it’s certainly no surprise but usher in; Theodore….The reason WM can’t be trusted and only delusional BW/BM buy into their “attempts” at unity for a common cause.Now they think the only issues are some “Religious beliefs” namely Jewish people(who are still white) in an attempt to blame shift without pointing to his race as the source. Now according to him and many like him the “Jewish people” are the problem DOAN did a blog about this troll. Trojan Pam addresses these morons.How ironic he claims to be an “individual” when he’s doing nothing different from others like him on the black communities blog post.
As if when we unite to fight the Jews that the problem will go away. Red necks and the KKK aren’t Jewish your local caucasian sending daggers against the black race aren’t Jewish.The television or internet wasn’t around when they devised slavery.
Once again they see no color once there’s something that can work in their advantage.But for how long will this color blindness last? Momentary color blindness one of the oldest tricks in the book.And we still think IRR is no problem.
muslims will kill you & i if we don’t adopt their faith. rearrange your hatrid for me and try again.
you as a person have no pertinance for the fruition of my motives and goals in life. those are up to me, the individual.
you as an individual could be anything from a fishing buddy to a strong mentoring figure. & that is the basis of my interests. if we cant be friends because of our color then we have a biblical amount of anguish in front of us.
our football team built bonds that destroyed any racial ANYTHING. my profession as a timber faller and the comeradery and love for the trade destroyed any racial ANYTHING amongst blacks timber cutters. i know a fair number of country black folks who work hard and would give the shirt off their back to HELP ANYONE IN NEED.
Why are you so adverse to this? ultimately i cannot force a friendship, aside from giving up which is the same as doing nothing.
what do you suggest i do?
do you really harbor hatrid on that level? the good lord has clarified entirely, to every passing soul,(whites who wronged blacks, anybody who wronged anybody!) what their faults where. i dont think he would condone such hatrid.
highest regards fellow human.
@theodore
It seems your white supremacist education has failed you, greatly. Your paragraphs are illegible and not worthy of a second glance.A little advice:master your craft, thought and grammar before you try to “educate” anyone on their problems.
Check this out? Make a placard sign that states, “I HATE racism, then parade the placard around states at the local and highest levels and WAIT for responses to your placard”.
Whistling…”We will WAIT for the end result”.

@ Theodore:
Exactly what is a “black racist” for clarity?
Phazex_Female
the same thing as any other color in front of that word. people from a to z have the capacity to feel superior to what may be identical figures with the acception of a different nose and different sceanery. HATRID
@ Theodore:
Echoing Lischelle’s comment,
“…there is no such thing as a “black racist”. Racism is a Social Construct of CONTROL and black people don’t control anything in this country, we can’t adversely effect/impact anyone else’s life by protesting, demanding or anything else we do or say.:
Once again, your AND your core racial group cannot and will not see beyond your own ARROGANCE. Stick a fork in you–we’re done here.
Phazex_Female
“…the white racists & the black racists can bicker amongst eachother until the cows come home, neither of them will make headway.”
Uh Theodore, there is no such thing as a “black racist”. Racism is a Social Construct of CONTROL and black people don’t control anything in this country, we can’t adversely effect/impact anyone else’s life by protesting, demanding or anything else we do or say.
” both of them will succumb to evil forces that see not in color but in religeous belief.”
What or WHO are you talking about? Maybe you forgot about the KKK who also promoted their religious belief as the cause of their hatred and terror attacks, and they definitely saw color although I don’t understand where color came into play when they attacked Jews because they look white to me. There is also the supremacists worshipping Odin in the Asatru religion that also see color as their raison d’etre. Can you clarify what terror group you are referring to?
it is just for a muslim to kill in the name of allah…
& with 2 immigrant grandparents, i have little knowledge of the kkk other than them being democrats, lynching over 3000 blacks and over 1000 republicans. that we know of. disgusting…
Theodore, You glossed over the most important information from my post. It is IMPOSSIBLE for black people to be racist since we don’t control any of the systems in this country. The “hatred” and even some violent attacks you may see or read about is a result of 5 CENTURIES of chattel slavery, Black Codes, Jim Crow laws, random rogue attacks by individuals and the uptick in kkkops extrajudicial murders of un-armed blacks for merely existing whether at home or on the street…we are TIRED and ANGRY.
As for the KKK and their terrorism…that was rampant after the slaves were supposedly freed, and meant to keep us in our subservient PLACE. The switch in the Democrats and Republicans of that day, and doesn’t reflect the two parties switching ideology of today. I HOPE you are a registered voter and that everyone will vote Democrat in local and national elections in 2016, or we will come up with another Dubya clone or worse.
I think no matter what way we vote, we’re still screwed.
Angel9, I concur that we are basically screwed, but I ain’t going without a fight!! I just need stupid kneegros to stay out of my perimeter! That means false “friends”, foe AND family!!
I hear you.
“….it is just for a muslim to kill in the name of allah…”
Puhleez, what the hell does a Supreme Being need with a puny human to kill another puny human? Sounds just like the nonsense that some klukker would give for killing for jeebus….total nonsense. BTW, my question is rhetorical…I think that if God wanted people dead, He/She/It would be much more effective and final methinks.
Wise words from a wise woman.We must cut our losses and can’t worry about those selling their souls for a fallacy. They’re gone. Arguing about the ” lost ones” is counterproductive. Trying to save them will only hijack our progress as it always has in the past. And wow France was under martial law? I had to move to a home with more property to start growing my own produce also cause it’s getting worse not better. It’s a time to join with those who are willing to hear and understand.
@ Negress:
Sista-friend, you ARE definitely “on point.” I completely understand. How LONG I have envisioned what you have stated! And how long (years) have I attempted to sound the alarm all that hear, let them lend an ear! *CRICKETS.*
I repeat, “all of our people will NOT be saved” and that is just the bottom line. As stated many of our own people ARE self-serving and only aid in OUR demise. Turn OFF the “idiot box” (TV) and READ and EDUCATE yourself and your off-spring! BE informed. Though the educational system at our children’s disposal is NOT in our children’s best interest, by educating AND being informed, we might even be able to raise the bar on the racist standardized test scores
Things that do NOT help in our progression? Illegal activities, gambling, alcoholism, physical altercations, “entertainment” that borders on the hypocrisy of this system, illicit behavior, pure-D laziness, acquiring knowledge seen as an act of being “nerdy or a doofus”.(Spirit, help us!), lack of cohesiveness, not realizing that many of the negative variables that we see are the direct result of bigotry and racism. The list goes on. We have GOT to work to SHORTEN this list! Sadly and heavily, many just do NOT care. And for me? That IS what hurts the most.
All of US do not have all of the answers, but working TOGETHER we might just come up with some answers! And hell, that IS a start. Humbleness is allowed here.
Out. (sorry for the rant!)
Phazex_Female
I totally concur with you, I am really weary of this crabs in a barrel mentality exhibited by some in the black community. I worked my butt off to advance not only myself but my offspring just to have some Handkerchief Head tell me that I didn’t deserve it because I didn’t do it alone, when I know that I did. They tore up the old neighborhood that they still live in!! They swear allegiance to some gang, and insist on controlling a block they don’t even own!!
I had a garden which they stole from regularly, but when I bagged up some excess vegetables and left them at the local church I was told they don’t need hand outs. I couldn’t get any help in my garden, and didn’t want to get the idiots in trouble by calling the police…so I moved out of the neighborhood.
Now they are complaining about not having a black voice in any media outlets. All of the major media outlets are owned by white people now. I have never watched reality TV, and none of the new pseudo-black programs appeal to me at all. White people took over hip-hop music and destroyed it, rap music has taken over and it is filled with hate and killing and HOs being disrespectful, but try finding decent TV or even radio programming and you are out of luck..smdh. So you keep doing your thing Pam, it is awesome the job you are doing and keep telling the truth whether they like it or not.
And they know black people aren’t in control of what get’s airplay but still use rap music to degrade us.I barely watched “Scandal” and was bored out of my mind.And this “How to get away with murder” or “Empire”. Besides” Black-ish” and Tyler Perry’s coon tv I barely see any black family comedies or shows. And the one guy who broke those barriers, Mr. Cosby with a wholesome family show minus a bunch of the negative stereotypes they’re busy ruining his reputation and soiling the good name we had in “The Cosby Show”.Cosby is being attacked because he was trying to use his money to help the black community learn to build wealth.And the elites didn’t like that he wouldn’t keep his mouth shut.But that’s a whole other story.
I really don’t want to talk about Bill Cosby because he ruined his own reputation IMO, he is just now being called on it. He took advantage of his position, and he needs to pay for it…damn his T V contributions OR his donations to the black community. Camille Cosby is still lovely and graceful and she deserves better from his sorry behind. Black women have always had to defend their honor and sexuality from ALL men, I was married to a PIMP so I know…we are HOs if we do and whores if we don’t. Black men and some black females (won’t dignify them by calling them WOMEN) have been thoroughly and culturally assimilated into the dominant culture because they think it will get them bigger perks, and to HAYell with the rest of us. I know way too many high, yella HOs that honestly believe they are better and prettier than darker skin blacks….smdh
He did mess up during his chase for fame as mentioned black people sell their souls for a taste of the WM mess.Without knowing the long term consequences and he tried to buy it back by but the damage was already done.This whole trying to put a black face in television so we show integration has been distorted. But all these “stars” do dirty things it’s just how obedient they remain is what determines if the dirt is let out.
And I definitely understand the defending my honor to not only black men but to those who believe they are above those who have more melanin. The condescending PoC acting like their sh#* don’t stink or as you put it, yella HOs. I’m all for leaving them and their whining, that they don’t get why the dark skin struggle is different from their “struggle”.And then in the next breath wallow in the privilege of being close to the “massa” pigments skin.
“… The condescending PoC acting like their sh#* don’t stink or as you put it, yella HOs.

Absolutely!! My own Mother caught hell because she was a light skinned black living in the South, so she married the blackest man she could so her children wouldn’t have to go thru the taunts she endured ! She was happy as a Sissy in Boys Town when she got seriously tanned on a trip to Florida one year, it was so good to see her so happy over something so small for a change. Then one of my sons had to hook up with a really stupid yella HO…I could see that she was little more than a booty call, but he now realizes his mistake as she is still breeding like a rabbit but only with a black man that has POTENTIAL to take care of her lazy behind.
As for Bill Cosby…he deserves what he gets, just like O.J. Simpson. I don’t believe he killed anyone, the murders were too heinous…at that time anyway; now, we can do some really awful things to each other and it is never about anything constructive at all. Just the Crabs in a really deep and awful barrel of mess.
@angel9loveu
Please correct me if I am misunderstanding you when you say “yella HOs. I’m all for leaving them and their whining, that they don’t get why the dark skin struggle is different from their “struggle.”
Are you stating that the light-skinned black women struggle is different from the darker skinned sisters? Someone once said that even though we all came here on different ships we are all in the same boat. This skin-tone nonsense is one of the elements that the white supremacists use to keep us divided and conquered. I am somewhere between high-yellow and dark-skinned and do not have long, straight hair. Trust me life has not been easy for me and I have experienced quite a bit of treachery from black women of all shades. Many do not want to give me credit for what I have achieved in life, stating it is because of my lighter skin. What I find really strange that I have experienced with other blacks is I am too dark for the really light-skinned blacks and too light for the darker skinned blacks. I am 62 years old and have experienced enough foolishness in my life to know what I am talking about.
Further, if life has been easy for light-skinned blacks, take a look at the past. Many of the warriors of the civil rights/black power movements that fought for black people were light-skinned blacks such as Malcolm X, Angela Davis, etc. If life was so easy for them, why were so many of them front-runners of those movements. As I stated, please correct me if I misunderstood you.
@Sharon53
We are certainly oppressed despite our skin complexions. There is light privilege and other forms of colorism in the world, but light skinned black people and darker skinned black people are victims of the same system of oppression. Unity is important to advance as you have articulated.
@ Timothy
I agree. We have to keep in mind — WHO IS RESPONSIBLE for “white” and “light” privileges? Certainly not the light-skinned black people.
That’s why it’s important to focus on the real problem and not get too sidetracked by the antics of other victims.
First of all I agree colorism/shadism is complete nonsense however it EXISTS.As a child before I even knew I was darskinned I realized black and ugly were used very regularly in a sentence.I grew up hearing a Jamaican artist called Buju Banton singing and ode to light skinned women called the “Browning” song.All darker skinned women quivered when we heard this song that received massive air play. As this very dark skinned man and the whole society gloated over light skinned women and their beauty. Leaving their dark-skinned , mothers and sisters feeling like”well what am I, spring chicken.” This prejudice I have seen throughout my life and experienced. Tell me about when your lighter skinned relatives say they won’t introduce you to their, white friends because you’re too dark as if because his mother had him with a lighter skinned man this made him suddenly exempt from the black race. Or the fact our grandfather was a darkened man.
I’m coming from having cousins pretend I never existed while getting bullied by a high yellow idiot and no one even tried to question her reasons for being a bully..They just weighed it on their light is right ignorance.Black men bypassing you because you’re too black.Or your own people thinking your stupid because you’re too dark,forget being valedictorian and an honor student. I was judged by black people that I was dumb cause I was too dark and not able to bring them off ads their light skinned friend would.A light skinned friend from childhood who saw the taunts sent a Facebook post about the struggles a dark-skinned woman goes through and asked me if I could relate cause she can’t.And she was high yellow with the coarsest short hair. So I know you either have “good hair”, “light skin”, both is even better and if you lack both you’re out of luck.
So if you can tell me you’ve been called black as sh*%, tar baby,blackie, black and ugly,Crispy and so many of the worse labels specifically for dark-skinned then you can’t relate.
When a light skinned relative wanted to be vicious they went for the darks skin while they complain about things like being too light or not black enough. And dark-skinned women leaving them out.My experience has been black women worshipping the light skinned women as the picture of perfection.You mention hair as if that’s a big deal. Not dark enough for the dark skins and not light enough for the light skins seems like you were aware of the colorism.As long as you were lighter than a paper bag you were good.Lightskinned women are the ones getting the most air play.
Explain the bleaching epidemic in the black community.NO ones trying to be dark skinned because of the ignorance attached to it. I used to wish I was in-between. Not having to hope a day goes by without being called a golliwog or shitface if we want to be all the way real.Some of you have no idea how good you have it and are complain about things a very dark skinned sister would want to not have to go through the ridicule and separation like a leper.And many of us have no other choice to be strong. So sorry /not sorry if you’re hurt by me responding to someone’s comment about the high “yellows hos”and their obvious “house slave” mentality. If we don’t call out the obvious uncomfortable, things we’re just being hypocritical. And I love all my black people dearly. But I’m tired of the nonsense too. And pick and choosing what’s relevant. People are making documentaries of colorism and light skins can’t see how it’s disrespectful to chime in that they have hurt and superficial wounds. And are always talking over the dark-skinned women with the look at me, look at me syndrome.Black women and by that I mean dark skin women are put in the least desirable category.We have to be exceptional while others can get by on looks.And looks have a lot to do with everything or we wouldn’t be here.
But I find it very arrogant that you feel offended about the “high yellow ho’s” comment when I’ve always believed if something doesn’t apply to you,ignore it and move on.It got thrown out there an you couldn’t resist the look at me opportunity and what you went through.If I had the option to live both our experiences I would choose yours.
And about the light skinned.I’m sorry I noticed that divide and conquer method with the Yurugus and they would pet the light skinned and try to date them.And promoted them faster over the black sister who worked equally as hard.It’s sad that we allow this to happen but the light skinned use their black card when it’s appropriate, kind of like Rachel Dolezal. If light skinned were so broken up over this, then do something.And yes you name dropped good for you.
But we through it out there as our experience. Belittling our experience only proves our point.You all are aware of your privilege and when you do the “not being accepted” by both as your worse experience is a slap in the face to the dark skinned woman shunned by everyone with no privilege unless she has white features.
We need to acknowledge this division in our community the damage it has caused and is causing and mend this discord instead of denying it.Sharon53. We need to fix our community so we can be stronger against the devices of white supremacy.
And excuse the grammatical errors.:O)I take full responsibility for not being meticulous and proofreading.But these days everything the white man forced on us has pissed me off.Like learning their language, dividing our community, slavery and these stupid “smart” devices that think they know better.
@Sister Sharon53
You have made great points Sister. Back decades ago, the white supremacists used urban renewal to disrupt the housing of black people and to cause our people and the poor to suffer more poverty and other injustices. It or gentrification including other economically disadvantageous tactics are certainly happening in Atlanta including other cities as you have mentioned. Atlanta is one bedrock of black culture and black history from the days of Reconstruction to the HBCUs. Many parts of the civil rights movements existed from Atlanta, Georgia. One reason for this white return to urban areas has to do with commute. There are other reasons too. Many whites know that the property value of many areas in the cities are worth a lot. So, they promote gentrification as a way for them to get rid of black people and the poor, buy up new lands (that they have taken from us), and then keep those lands for themselves. It’s a form of property warfare in the sense that they want us to forsake our ownership.
I also noticed one positive trend of more black people living in rural areas independently. Many rural areas have valuable land, especially in the South. Many black people in the South own a lot of land. Many black people in my job have told me that after they pay their bills and do others things, then they will get some land in the South, so they can own it. Ownership is key to power. That is why I do advocate for us to rent if we have to (to provide for ourselves and for our families), but the final goal for us is not to be renters permanently. We want our people to own land, property, housing, and other resources. We want to combat poverty using progressive strategies.
Economic inequality, racism, classism, and discrimination has to do with the housing rights of many black people being violated. Fighting for housing rights and being against gentrification are the fights that we are in during the 21st century. Also, the racist payday loans scam has contributed to many foreclosures and economic problems in our communities too. Section 8 has strict rules. Violation of certain rules will cause people to be banned from being in Section 8. The economy is so fragile that many people have no choice but to go into Section 8 temporarily for survival. I’m sorry for your story Sister about the housing. You’re a trooper and a warrior, so I wish the best for you. We are all family as Brothers and Sisters.
@ angel9loveu
I have to address the comment about ‘yellow hos”
1. We should not be using that word to describe ANY female of any complexion.
2. The complexion of a black person is not something they chose, it is something they are born with. We should not be judging each other based on skin color NOT if we’re seeking to UNIFY.
Yes, there is a history of lighter-skinned blacks who gained more privileges than darker-skinned blacks but at the end of the day we are ALL VICTIMS of white supremacy and the lighter-skinned blacks among us have no more power than the darker ones
This is how they divide and conquer us. By getting us to focus on the things that keep us apart, the things they created TO do exactly that.
I appreciate your participation but I ask all of you to refrain from name-calling, especially those names that degrade black people.
That is probably my fault TrojanPam since I started with a comment about a “HO”. But has anyone seen the Spike Lee movie pertaining to blacks being “colorstruck”? It speaks to the mind control tactics used during slavery, to divide House kneegros from field kneegros because lighter skin kneegros were viewed as more intelligent because they were closer to being white. thus less of an animal.
@ lischelle
What is the definition of a “ho?” Are we calling other black females names because of their skin color? Who created (and benefits) from the skin color division among black people? And how many darker skinned blacks actually believe lighter skinned blacks are superior and better-looking? Should we come up with a derogatory name for them, too?
Do you see where I’m going? There are plenty of blacks of ALL complexions who are anti-black but to assume that lighter-skinned blacks are somehow to blame for their skin color or to assume they are automatically of a lower character makes no sense to me.
Was Malcolm X any less of a hero because he was light-skinned?
We need to raise the LEVEL of our conversation and thinking above name-calling, especially when making public comments. It negates EVERYTHING of value that we say.
If I have to start moderating comments, I will, but I prefer to let people think this is a blog where you can say what’s on your mind. All I ask is to refrain from calling other black people foul names
and continue to share the constructive and interesting comments that I have read from all of you
We have to get serious about being serious — and name-calling is NOT being serious.
“…What is the definition of a “ho?”
Actually TrojanPam, that was in reference to myself and was frequently used by my son’s Sperm Donor when he was talking about me after I got a divorce. He was a real piece of work, that one, and he denigrated MANY black females except his own sisters and Mother, and I didn’t want him “infecting” our sons with his mind-set, so I left him and he has been punishing me since even after re-marrying 4-5 times himself but he swears that he is a Christian and doesn’t want my SOUL condemned to whatever non-believers go when they die.

I wish that I could upload a pic of my light-skinned mother, because she was teased unmercifully for being yella when she lived in the South and went to school. Her grandfather was Cherokee, but the other kids said it was Massa creeping in the quarters. Now HER mother took advantage of the folks who were “colorstruck”, but my mother married the darkest man she could find so that her children wouldn’t have to go through being teased about being black or light. Malcolm X was a frequent visitor to my childhood home, so NO….I ain’t never been colorstruck, but I know people who are and it even exists WITHIN families where one child is favored over another because he/she is lighter. It causes pain for an entire lifetime, and nothing can change it except unconditional acceptance for the rainbow of colors that black people are born with. Still, I prefer my MALE companions with as little “cream” as possible, since they get physical when I don’t show signs of kow-towing to his ego just because he has light skin….I didn’t want a murder charge because you can’t fix STUPID.
I was speaking in reference to lischelle’s comment. And I believe she has touched on an issue that the black community see as taboo and that’s colorism. I believe colorism is just another tool in the struggle.Back on the slave masters plantation they separated us by this very method. And today it still exists and is very prominent breaking down our darker skinned women and men’s self esteem. People don’t understand, yes we’re all fighting white supremacy. But it’s effects come in compartments. And these compartments are very much as responsible for the break down in our community as the increase in BM/WW or vice versa. And if you believe it’s an equal playing field for all your sadly mistaken. I had my high yellow/lightskinned friends send me a videos on face book about dark-skinned women being called blackie and tar baby , ugly and other specific labels to dark-skinned sister. Saying if I knew anything about this cause she’s nevee experienced this and can’t relate.And in that moment I realized there’s a line of members calling themselves “black” but we don’t all have the same struggles. They ‘re still ghosting and call themselves black because that’s what’s expected of them.
Light skinned members shaming the dark-skinned members into submission cause they know there are privileges that come with having less melanin. Men saying “you’re pretty for a dark skin girl” or ” I don’t black girls” or passed over for a ligthskinned sister. Or when a darkened is being put down they turn a blind eye cause they don’t remember we’re all black. And coming from a family of very ligthskinned to very deep hues. This is not something I’m just throwing out there to be mean it’s the truth.As usual everyone skirts around colorism/shadism as if this doesn’t exist and is a fable. When it’s everyday of my life while the light skinned or those who aren’t affected address the “more serious” issues. And for the ridicule I’ve seen darks skinned people face at the hands of many of ignorance “light-skinned females” is really being nice. But yes they divide an conquer but let’s not turn up our noses at certain issues as if they’re any less an problem. There’s still the “house slave”, “field slave” mentality. Especially when a biracial had the audacity in this day and age to ask me that dumb question so excuse me if I agree with lischelle and quoted her sentiments.
@ angel9loveu
I agree that skin color issues among black people is a real issue. I think it should be examined and talked about. My only issue is with calling other black females “hos” regardless of their skin color.
That being said, the issue you raised is a valid one BUT I take issue with the label, especially when applied to another black female. All light skinned black females are not the same anymore than it would be correct to stereotype darker skinned black females.
I deleted the word “hos” and replaced it with a different term.
I agree as I would be lying if I said all dark skinned people were innocent because I’ve seen dark skinned people ridicule other dark skinned people for being dark (complete nonsense) and that’s why I say our people are ill.
That being said I don’t believe she was calling all light skinned girls “ho’s” but to the specific ones who she’s had negative experiences.As I’m speaking to my experiences as well with those in my family and have met throughout my lifetime.And we labeled according to our similar situations.
So it’s a thing of if it doesn’t apply then it shouldn’t be taken personally. And these negative labels need to be done away with as well as negative actions.As some of us have been labeled unfairly but I won’t get offended by a comment that someone says about the black “hoes” they meet cause frankly that’s not me. If they said all black women then I’d have a problem cause I got lumped into it. But that term/word won’t be thrown around loosely on your blog by me anymore.
@ angel9loveu
I appreciate that and welcome your insights and opinions.
I also agree that colorism is a huge problem and a byproduct of white supremacy. And yes, there are light-skinned blacks who feel superior to darker-skinned blacks
And darker-skinned blacks who treat lighter-skinned blacks as though they are superior.
it’s a different side of the same coin
White supremacy programming
I also know light-skinned people who dislike being light (one is in my family) because of the belief that people thought she thought she was better and I know for a fact this wasn’t true.
We need more honest conversations about skin color issues but it has to be from a level of respect and compassion for both sides
Also read your other comment and we all just need to get on the same page and understand the greater evil.So once we can all refocus to who our enemies are then we can hopefully find a solution.Cause I see a lot of survival techniques and pointing out the problems and going back to history but can we get some real time solutions. Like I say we need to get out of this land together all in the “movement” and give them their things. They’ll be destroyed with it anyway.Makes it easier for nature to target her real enemies.And take with us all the skills we need to be able to rebuild successfully.Africa has so many resources, and the Yurugus are milking her riches and using it to stay in power. We should bargain for us to leave they need to leave Africa and all her resources they’re stealing intact.Just a suggestion for as long as we’re in their midst they’ll keep coming for us.
“…I see a lot of survival techniques and pointing out the problems and going back to history but can we get some real time solutions.

@angel9loveu, that is a great idea(s), – here comes the BUT – you are putting a lot of faith in a bunch of people that HAVE no skills beyond rapping and slinging drugs, and expecting Africa to accept these idiots with open arms after centuries of Cultural Genocide and not able to see another black person that isn’t defending some ghetto block his mother is renting. MOST modern black people don’t want anything to do with Africa OR Africans thanks to the medias portrayal of them as living in huts, starving and fighting islamists who live in the same village.
No, I think that we need to educate our young people on their own history and culture both in the USA and in Mother Africa. We can REBUILD right here, but first we need to get a QUALITY cultural, social, and STEM education like ?Timothy said. As a group, we are not ready to take on the different global colonists that are raping Mother Africa for her resources. Besides, there are still many African nations that have a dim view of AAs and vice versa, again thanks to the image being given by the media and even some tourists and dignitaries that visit Africa. Seriously, I concur that we need some concrete strategies on how to overcome this mess, but we aren’t even close to being ready to move to another country, we even live in a segregated community here if what I am reading in some of the posts here is any indication.
Exemplary, you, Providence and the many others on this thread are giving me life with the extraordinary information.I don’t have to watch their lies anymore or read their misinformation in print.And yes there are African nations that are weary of AAs. But there are others who aren’t. And I know a few. And they tell us to go back to Africa and yet they’re over their trying every experiment on the planet to wipe black life from Africa.
However, I threw Africa out there as to say we need to be far from them as possible but that’s the one place where we would be the majority and wouldn’t have to deal with them even though it should be Israel. But it was to get away long enough for them to turn on each other.Yes this is our home and we should be able to stay where we want but this system is constructed and devised for Yurugus survival.And this became apparent when we can’t even depend on the kkkops for protection.The kkk are strategists.They knew how to take over by sending their people out into every profession and part of the world to ensure we’re not welcomed.If you don’t believe they are strategizing 24/7 while we sleep. You are sadly mistaken.It’s not getting better. And then it’s division got us mad at each other for Yurugus purposes.
But there’s a lot that could go wrong but that’s why we need to be at a point where we’re researching and generating an effective evacuation plan.
And we’re not ready, your right.We’re a mess and that’s why we said we’ll have to leave many behind and cut the dead weight. But we need to get it together ASAP. Before we lose anymore.And bite the bullet for the greater good .Yes we need to see our weaknesses and how we are being attacked. But we also need plans of actions.I’m a firm believer in the Most High and my action is to follow the Most High’s guidance cause we need a miracle to fix our dilemma.
I agree. At the end of the day? “We are ALL equally hated under the SAME microscope.”
Phazex_Female
@ Phazex_Female
I agree, we’re all hated. I do understand where angel9loveu is coming from. Darker-skinned blacks are the most mistreated victims of white supremacy, which is ironic because their MELANIN also makes them the most biologically and genetically superior (in my opinion) and I suspect this is reason they are the most hated and more is done to destroy their self-esteem because the white supremacists fear their biological power (and I’m not just talking about fertility, it’s much deeper than that.
I would love to see a day when dark-skinned blacks refused to accept any of the propaganda about their beauty and self-worth. I think it would rock the world to its knees.
There is NOTHING more powerful than black self-respect.
NOTHING.
“…I would love to see a day when dark-skinned blacks refused to accept any of the propaganda about their beauty and self-worth…”
Well, we could start by teaching our children that there is a difference between the euro-standard of beauty and the black standard of beauty. When my sons started dating, I made it a point to tell them all, do NOT bring me any half-breed grandchildren and none of them have.
@ angel9loveu
From reading your comments, you appear to have been traumatized by the colorism/shadism madness that is rampant in the black community. I am truly saddened by all this and I am not being superficial when I say that because I have heard your story from many others also. I do not know you personally and have not walked in your shoes so I have not had your exact experiences but I can empathize with you. By the same token you have not walked in mine also so you have no way of knowing what my struggles have been.
I don’t like getting caught up dialoging about who has been oppressed the most because I think that is a stumbling block to resolving the problems in the black community. I do agree light-skinned blacks have been the white supremacists tokens but tokens are victims too. And from reading your comments, you appear to only make the light-skinned black woman the enemy. Light-skinned black women did not create these conditions simply because they are born light-skinned. Your enemy is the white supremacists because they are the ones with the power to create all this discord.
You stated “But I find it very arrogant that you feel offended about the “high yellow ho’s” comment when I’ve always believed if something doesn’t apply to you, ignore it and move on.”
Just who are you talking about here? Not once in my comments to you did I state I was offended. I was trying to get a clear understanding of whether you were stating light-skinned black women struggles are different from the darker skinned sisters?
Further as Trojan Pam stated in her comments to you and I agree with her, we should not be using the words ‘yellow hos’ to describe any female of any complexion. And as she stated we should “refrain from name-calling, especially those names that degrade black people.” When people participate in this name-calling, it makes it hard for me to take them serious about anything they say about unity. And I am very serious about our struggle as a people and will not ignore the name-calling or anything we do that I feel is a detriment to our cause.
You said “It got thrown out there and you couldn’t resist the look at me opportunity and what you went through.”
Are you saying I have no right to speak about my experiences as a black person but you do? If so, you are the one being arrogant here.
I can’t believe you stated “if I had the option to live both our experiences I would choose yours.” You don’t know me and even if you did, you don’t walk around with me 24-7, so you don’t know where I have been and what I have been through. Let’s not get into playing God here and think we know all about someone else’s experiences. I try to view the problems in the black community from a collective standpoint and not from this poisonous selfish individualism standpoint that is so ingrained in so many of us. In my comments to you I never minimized your struggle. My goal was to get you to see that we are in the same boat. Further, I think it is very insensitive to minimize someone else’s problems because your problems appear to be greater.
You stated something about ‘house slave’ mentality and how the light-skinned gets promoted faster. The house slave/field slave thing did occur during slavery but the thing about racism/white supremacy is it is very insidious. It evolves over time into something else and even reverts back to old ways sometimes. Nowadays, it is hard to tell who the house slaves and field slaves are. For instance, for a time, I noticed this trend in the business world where the white supremacists sometimes will put a darker-skinned sister in a management position and the sister would use her authority to give the lighter-skinned sisters a difficult time. This stood out like a sore thumb. I have seen that with my own eyes. In fact, there was a lawsuit in Atlanta some years ago where a light-skinned sister sued her former employer because she was fired by the darker-skinned sister and specifically stated it was discrimination because of her light skin. I am beginning to see another trend with a preference for bi-racials now. It seems once we figure out what they are doing, they issue us a whole new deck of cards and we get caught up in the shuffle.
You stated “So if you can tell me you’ve been called black as sh*%, tar baby, blackie, black and ugly, Crispy and so many of the worse labels specifically for dark-skinned then you can’t relate.”
No I have never been called any of those names but I have called other names that hurt just as much such as nappy head, picked at and called names because I was skinny, people made statements that I look like I had been beaten with an ugly stick.
You seem to think because I mentioned something about hair, I think that is a big deal. You are totally misunderstanding me if you think that. My reason for stating that is because long hair is another white beauty standard that so many other blacks cosign on. In fact, that is something that I believe people look at more than the light-skin. If a black person has long, curly or straight hair, he or she is accepted even if they are dark skinned.
At the end of the day we can’t fight white supremacy if we’re divided amongst ourselves.What do we look like bickering amongst ourselves and trying to be taken seriously. Our best, strength is in unity.Cause we’re eager to point how white supremacy has seeped into our community but not realizing. How it has beaten down many of us. Some can’t fight, others don’t want to cause of the distrust and those fighting tend to have a stick up their butts.Sick people can’t fight at their optimal best. You have to be battle ready by healing our community, mentally, physically, spiritually and it doesn’t come from telling people to get over it. Or pointing fingers, that’s why we can’t get to a solution.Acknowledge, these things instead of belittling those going through it. We can’t heal if the virus is still evident. Putting a bandaid on a gushing wound never fixes anything.This disunity and pride is counterproductive. We need to heal and fix what Yurugu has launched into our community while we’ve been sleeping. Your only as strong as your weakest player. Everyone needs to know what they’re going through is acknowledged and no less than the other.
Well the VIRUS isn’t going to take itself out, and until we ARE united suggest that you don’t try it either…we are seriously out-gunned. And they don’t have a problem with bombing the black community since it has already been done. These bastards can’t hold ANY moral high ground with regard to Third World nations although the claim that is exactly what they are doing, without once checking in their own history for their own eugenics and genocidal tendencies towards people of color.
You know what Anglelove 9, I didn’t even mention your initial, dynamic comment about what gets aired on TV, but you are SPOT ON. Personally, if I am forced to watch “The Matrix” one more time here in Podunk you will here me scream wherever you live!! And BET can seriously hang it up now, a black woman wrote the Matrix series and they had to pay sister for stealing it!!
@ lischelle
I feel the same frustration in dealing with other black people. Some of us know the LINGO but it seldom results in CONSTRUCTIVE activity.
Unfortunately, Dr. Kambon is right
we are very serious about not being serious
and one day we will be FORCED to look back (if we’re capable of any honest self-evaluation) and realize what a HUGE, HUGE mistake we made in not changing our behavior when we had the chance.
Frankly, it doesn’t look good
but I keep on sticking my toe in the boiling water of black dysfunction, hoping it will do some good
“…Frankly, it doesn’t look good
but I keep on sticking my toe in the boiling water of black dysfunction, hoping it will do some good”
I understand, but I am DONE sticking my neck out for ungrateful, ignant, Handkerchief Head kneegros!! Hell, some of them STAY in crisis or invest way too much energy in street drama and it isn’t because they are homeless either. If they can’t embroil you in some kind of drama, they can’t not be happy….and I’m not just talking about the females either. I’ve had it and put most of them on notice, if you don’t have anything POSITIVE for me….lose my number!! Enough!!
@ diaryofanegress
A thought-provoking and accurate post
You cannot help the vanquished for they are already gone.
Based on what I’ve seen and the absolute resistance to understanding white supremacy AND changing our responses to it, and the WILD, ALMOST RABID ENTHUSIASM of so many blacks to literally sleep with their enemies
such is our growing dislike for each other
that I have come to the same unfortunate conclusion that there is no way to REACH let alone SAVE the majority of blacks here in the U.S.
And so our destiny in many respects may already be a done deal (meaning, we are headed right back to chattel slavery or massive incarceration or mass genocide)
And for those who believe this is an exaggeration, it’s time to educate yourselves to the reality facing the black population here in the U.S.
I ain’t going!! I am too old anyway, and would be considered “expendable” to RE-start chattel slavery chores…smh. I am good to just maintain my veggie garden for myself, let alone for Massa and his family. They best stay out of my perimeter since I don’t have problem with dying ALONE, but might have to take Massa out too…LOL!!
You now are at the same conclusion I’m at @TrojanPam. I believe that, as a group, Black Americans are destroyed…that the majority of us are gone and cannot be saved. The mental pathology we have as a groups is too deep, too entrenched in our collective psyches that it would take twice the time we have been under the system of white supremacy to reverse it.
I have been predicting for the last several years- and warning all my loved ones- that black Americans are heading back to captivity. All of the writing is on the wall to support this. I remind people that that ONLY thing keeping us out of slavery now is that there is no huge demand for manual labor…but if the economic circumstances were to change in America, you know who’ll be the first ones rounded up and carted off to internment. It amazes me how blacks do not think this could become a reality again. We have gotten so comfortable in white supremacy that we have forgotten or have never cared to lean who these people REALLY are. It’s amazing. Let’s not even mention how most of us are mentally unable to process information because of our addiction to television. sad indeed.
I am getting up out of the USA. I’m so serious about that. Things are about to get real uncomfortable for blacks here- REAL uncomfortable. I’m already planning my exit strategy.
You may be right about our rights and freedoms disappearing yet again, reality_check.
@ reality_check
I’m afraid you’ve made some valid points.
I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s not just about being confused, it’s about NOT WANTING TO KNOW what is happening to black people all over this country AND what it means
Someone once said,
“It’s impossible to wake someone who is pretending to be asleep”
Black people know there’s a problem but we use our material things and entertainment to blind us to what our third eye is seeing
Only time will tell what the future is for us as a population in the U.S.
Black people KNOW th
@Reality_Check
Regarding your statement “I am getting up out of the USA. I’m so serious about that. Things are about to get real uncomfortable for blacks here- REAL uncomfortable. I’m already planning my exit strategy.”
I feel you but is there any place to go to be rid of this madness. I don’t mean to “rain on your parade” but from my perspective, anywhere and everywhere Europeans have landed, there has been slavery, colonialism, imperialism, racism, sexism, ageism and any other ISM you can think of. If you find an exit out of this, please let us know.
Other than that, the rest of your comments hit the hammer on the head. You really summed up our situation big time. I have observed things over the last few years and it is not looking good, especially the things the white supremacists are doing that are both covert and overt and the fact that most black people are just not getting it. I agree that we have become very comfortable in white supremacy and that the only thing keeping us out of slavery now is that there is no huge demand for manual labor. One thing that is very dangerous is we have entered the 21st Century where many of us do not have the skills to get a job to earn a decent living for ourselves, coupled with the fact that we really are no longer needed to sustain this economy. Someone once said ‘all the cotton has been picked’ and most decent-paying jobs are above our heads because they are so technology-advanced. And from my observation, white women, Hispanics and Asians are grabbing a lot of those types of jobs now. I believe we will start preying on each other to survive, using any means necessary, including violence, guilt trips, shame, etc. to coerce you into getting what they want from you. I see a lot of that happening right now.
I got the following from Wikipedia Sharon53, but I concur….we will turn on each in order to survive.
In Marxist philosophy, the term cultural hegemony describes the domination of a culturally diverse society by the ruling class, who manipulate the culture of that society — the beliefs, explanations, perceptions, values, and mores — so that their ruling-class worldview becomes the worldview that is imposed and accepted as the cultural norm; as the universally valid dominant ideology that justifies the social, political, and economic status quo as natural, inevitable, perpetual and beneficial for everyone, rather than as artificial social constructs that benefit only the ruling class.[1][2]
In philosophy and in sociology, the term cultural hegemony has denotations and connotations derived from the Ancient Greek word ἡγεμονία hegemonia indicating “leadership” and “rule”. Hegemony is the geopolitical method of indirect imperial dominance, with which the hegemon (leader state) rules subordinate states, by the threat of intervention, an implied means of power, rather than by direct military force, that is, invasion, occupation, and annexation).[3

Sad to say but that is how it is. This venom is worldwide and they do a job of spreading it through the media, especially entertainment. Another name for it is social engineering and most countries practice this on their residents but because the USA is the major world power, it’s social engineering is more sophisticated, refined and hides in plain sight. If they can manipulate people around the world, just imagine what they are doing to us here in America because we are right, smack dab in the belly of this beast.
Yeah Sharon53, I am starting to give serious thoughts to leaving this damn country, if I can just get my sons to go with me, I just read about a young black male that was given SIXTY YEARS in prison for driving on a suspended license,,,,no accident, not slinging drugs, didn’t kill anyone but he has to go to prison for life!!
To the contrary @Sharon53, you are not bursting my bubble- I agree with what you’ve said. I know that there is no escaping global white supremacy- however, blacks in the USA are in particular trouble in the coming years, this is what I”m saying. The USA is one of the few countries in the world that has slavery WRITTEN INTO THE CONSTITUTION! You can’t get any more ominous than that. Add to the heightening and unrelenting assault on black males and you have a recipe for our captivity. As I’ve grown older, I am more and more uneasy about living in a country that wants me as a black male imprisoned- they’re just waiting for the opportunity to present itself. No thanks!
I haven’t targeted where exactly I’m going, but I know it will be somewhere where blacks are the majority. I have some things to accomplish here stateside before I make that move but I’m in the process of considering a few options now.
Blacks should seriously consider living abroad. I can’t help feel uneasy about the remaining years of the 21st century for American blacks. Does anyone else feel this way?
I felt and feel that way. I got the hell out. I am a Black woman who fled to Europe this past summer and with the exception of nations north of Germany it’s been a great experience. However, I fly out a week from now to start a beauty company in Asia to help Asian and Black Inside Asia women and men believe in themselves and shake off white beauty standards to embrace their own.
As for destinations there is always Ghana, but also look up Zimbabwe. China recently took them out of debt and they now use the yuen instead of the dollar. China invests heavily in Africa. The future belongs to Blacks and Asians together. Karma is closing in on white people fast and it is not going to be pretty. Beware Black America because they know the end is near. But they feel married to you and are obsessed with you and will try to drag you down to hell with them before they go. All Black Americans who feel the “call” you and I did should get a passport, pack lightly, and leave. They are planning a pogrom against Blacks in America.
The right time to leave is not late or middle next year but right now.
Tasha,
I’m glad that you found your niche in life and were able to leave Amerikka, but I am too old to start over again in this country let alone in a foreign country. Not because I’m afraid, just have no desire to learn a new culture and peoples…..not even in Africa.
still, I concur that younger black people should leave this country after they have some kind of marketable skill/education that doesn’t include slinging drugs or shooting hoops
I agree diaryofanegress. I think for some of us such evil and hatred is hard to comprehend, especially given that it’s all based on skin color, not behavior, or fear, or historical events, but merely how someone looks.
I no longer watch tv, but watch netflix and others where I can control what I’m viewing. I also focus on bettering myself and doing things that build my life up peacefully and progressively.
i watched a youtube video a while back of a black man expressing his thoughts on how detrimental young black women are to their own race in that the children they rear, namely boys grow up learning how to act impulsively & violently on on emotion as opposed to exercising critical thinking. he also expressed how black men are fed up with the self centered disposition that these women showcase. i cant make judgement on the topic but i see his line of thought. my french uncle is happily married to a black woman. they are inseparable!
as for subliminal messaging via tv, the only ones who are not affected are the jews who run hollywood. highest regards to all.
Theodore,
You just made judgement on the “topic”, by describing the “topic” and “seeing his line of thought”.
You people are the problem…just can’t LEAVE us alone!
Ditto.
Agreed 100%!
way to purposefully bypass any content on what your brother was trying to convey in liu of demonizing me. he publicised it!!!!!!! perhaps i should have substituted make for add. anyhow i’m sure he’s not nearly as unfriendly as you just were.
YES i will leave you alone and i will then no longer be the problem. strangers in jail where better piers.
Please, white. Go away. You and your obsession with us are not wanted here.
“…he also expressed how black men are fed up with the self centered disposition that these women showcase. i cant make judgement on the topic but i see his line of thought…”
Well I CAN comment because I have TWO baby mamas that are also dumb as a bag of hair!! Can’t cook, love to party and only got pregnant to keep a connection with the father. I would call them gold diggers but he’s not wealthy and works a 9 – 5 like most young black men. But they do have a tendency to be mouthy, disrespectful in public and in private then complain when their NEW boyfriends go ballistic.
@ theodore
thanks for illustrating the point that I had emphasized over and over and over again on my blogs as to the mentality and NATURE of white people collectively.
To the black people reading this
Look how he tries to pit black males against black females into a seemingly “innocent” comment.
clearly PROVING this post is ACCURATE
@Trojan Pam
With regards to theodore, Spot On!
@ angel9loveu
I can count one ONE HAND the number of times I have seen white people go on a non-black blog or website or youtube channel and chastise other white people about being racist.
I find that HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS when they come on a black blog and try to shame or CON us into ignoring our gross mistreatment in a white supremacy system
that is PROOF in my mind that white supremacy exists ONLY because there are MILLIONS of white foot soldiers that use deception to fool the victims that it even exists
You never let the bully DEFINE what bullying is
you MUST define it for yourself
“…You never let the bully DEFINE what bullying is
you MUST define it for yourself”
EXACTLY!! I totally concur, and that is why I don’t buy into the MYTH that black people can be racist. I don’t care WHAT Merriam-Webster wrote for the definition of racism or even a racist!! When large groups of white people are denied basic human rights in this country, BY A BLACK GROUP mind you, and not that small group of wealthy whites who have always screwed them over then I may change my opinion. Until then, it is not POSSIBLE for black people to be racist.
@lischelle
You’re right as no black person can deprive white people collectively of jobs, health care, and other ways of traveling on this Earth. Black people don’t control most of the aspects of the mainstream political system, so black people aren’t racists. We have historically been the scapegoats for many issues going on in the world. We have been the victims of atrocities from the Maafa to the gentrification situation (which is a form of removing black people from our communities. Gentrification is an attack on black social cohesiveness). I read statistics where the black populations of Washington, D.C. Detroit, Atlanta, and other places are declining since more black people are moving into the suburbs and gentrification are pushing many poor black people out of communities while white middle class/rich folks are coming into many cities (as a way to have an easier commute to work in the city). So, we are attacked on many fronts. That is why I do believe in promoting our interests as black people.
@Timothy
Regarding your statement “Gentrification is an attack on black social cohesiveness). I read statistics where the black populations of Washington, D.C. Detroit, Atlanta, and other places are declining since more black people are moving into the suburbs and gentrification are pushing many poor black people out of communities while white middle class/rich folks are coming into many cities (as a way to have an easier commute to work in the city).”
Yes, I see this happening in Atlanta big time and understand what you mean when you say more black people are moving into the suburbs and gentrification is pushing poor black people out of communities while white middle class/rich folks are coming into many cities. And yes, part of the reason is this is a way to have an easier commute to work in the city. However, I am not sure what it is but I also believe there is more to it than that. Not sure what the white supremacists have up their sleeves but I know it is not for any good.
I remember back in the early 2000s, I bought a house in the suburbs and began to notice a record number of blacks doing the same thing. New housing divisions were going up left and right but only blacks and a few Hispanics were buying them in certain areas. People with bad credit were able to get a beautiful home with no problem. The thing that I did not notice is that these homes were built with the cheapest material imaginable and in a few years right after the warranty expired on some things such as AC units, plumbing, things began to break down and I have been stuck with high repair bills. The little extra money I get from being able to deduct expenses at income time does not compensate for these high expenses I have incurred.
One other thing is I live in one of the areas that was hit by that flooding back in 2009 and the value of the property is now less than what I and my neighbors still owe on these homes so we are having a difficult time trying to sell them. I am beginning to see this with other blacks who live in other areas also with a large number of black residents To add insult to injury, many have abandoned the homes causing foreclosures and some have even gone Section 8. The word is out that my subdivision was even built on a marsh also. I believe that because the ground is so soggy out here that trees are beginning to fall over on the road.
Needless to say, I cant wait until I can get this house sold and get out of here. My dream home actually has turned into a nightmare.
Here you go Sharon53, read this and tell me if YOU think that the KKK should be complaining about cultural genocide
““Cultural Genocide”
Joel Spring discusses the concept of “cultural genocide” defined as “the attempt to destroy other cultures” through forced acquiescence and assimilation to majority rule of cultural and religious standards. This cultural genocide works through the process of “deculturalization,” which Spring describes as “the educational process of destroying a people’s culture and replacing it with a new culture.”
Dominant European-heritage groups have committed cultural genocide upon minoritized peoples since the first white person landed on these shores. Later, for example, between 1880 and 1920, in the range of thirty – forty million immigrants from Eastern and Southern Europe migrated to the United States, more than doubling the population. During this time, an “Americanist” (assimilationist) movement was in full force with the concept of the so-called “melting pot” in which everyone was expected to conform to an Anglo-centric cultural standard with the destruction of other cultural identities.
Theodore Roosevelt was an outspoken proponent of this concept:
“If the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself (sic) to us he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else….But this [equality] is predicated on the man’s (sic) becoming in very fact an American and nothing but an American….There can be no divided allegiance here….We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we want to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding house.”
Another example of “cultural genocide” and “deculturalization” can be exposed in the case of Christian European American domination over Native American Indians, whom European Americans viewed as “uncivilized,” “godless heathens,” “barbarians,” and “devil worshipers.” So until the 1960s, a pattern emerged (what some social scientists termed the “immigrant analogy”) in which white ethnic groups initially migrated to cities, assimilated into the dominant Anglo culture, and achieved a certain degree of upward mobility. They often times, therefore, relinquished their cultural identities for the promise of social and economic success.
Many of these same social scientists assumed that people of color (then called “minorities” or “racial minorities”) would follow this model. However, they did not fully comprehend the profound saliency of “race” and racism in the United States, the ethnic consciousness of some groups, and their desire to retain their cultural heritage.
By the late 1960s, communities of color, as well as some white ethnic groups – predominantly from working-class backgrounds – and women in a new wave of the feminist movement, reacted against this ruthless “Americanization” process and the “melting pot” and demanded rather the creation of a “patchwork quilt” or “salad bowl” in which each group – while joining with other groups – would, nonetheless, retain its unique cultural traditions and identities….”
I found this little gem when I tried to find the definition for “YURUGU”
“There is a “stultifying” intellectual mystification that prevents, the victims, of Caucasian colonization, from THINKING in a manner that leads to authentic self-determination. Intellectual “de-colonization” is a prerequisite for the creation of successful, political decolonization and cultural reconstruction strategies.
The Caucasian’s (political) imperialistic success can be accredited, not so much to superior military might, as to the WEAPON of culture.
Cultural supremism is, the systematic imposition of an alien culture in the attempt to destroy the will of a politically dominated people. The mechanism of cultural supremism causes cultural insecurity and self doubt within the dominated group. Separated from their ancestral legacy they lose access to their source of political resistance.
To be truly liberated, non-white (black, brown, red, yellow) people must come to KNOW the nature of Caucasian thought and behavior, in order to understand the EFFECT that whites have had on our ability to THINK victoriously. Non-white people must be able to separate our thought, from Caucasian thought, so as to visualize a future that is not dominated by them. This is demanded because the FUTURE, towards which Caucasians lead us, is genocidal.
Ultimately the liberation of the thinking of Non-white people, from its colonized condition will require the creation of a new language.
***SECTION 1: Concepts and Terms***
—A THEORY OF CULTURE—
In all cultures there is the “taken-for-granted,” assumed, and habitual aspect that though generally less visible than others, and rarely explicit – exerts the most profound effect on its members. It is precisely because these “hidden controls” functions on such a deep level, that they become habitual responses that are experienced “as though they were innate.”
***SECTION 1: Concepts and Terms Cont.***
—A THEORY OF CULTURE Cont.—
Culture “teaches” its “logic” and “world-view” to the ordinary participants, who assimilate it, assume it, and push it BENEATH the SURFACE, from where it influences their COLLECTIVE BEHAVIOR and response.
Culture, as a “norm”-a-tive structure, concerns standards of desirability – values. “Norms” are rules of conduct, that, specify what should and should not be done. The “norm”-a-tive aspects of culture, combine to form a “set of guidelines” by which people regulate their own behavior and that of their fellows.
“Values” and “norms” can only be supported or positively “sanctioned” within a culture in such a way that behavior that conforms to them is “rewarded” – meets with “success” and “approval.” While behavior that contradicts them is “punished” – results in “failure” and is “put-down” by one’s fellows, or is simply not rewarded in any way, is not recognized as “valued” behavior.
They have no need to visit the non-black blogs cause they’re not worried about controlling them or that their kharma will come through them.They have to keep eyes on us as we’re the ones that will be the death of them. So as long as they can monitor our activity they think they can stay a step ahead.
They know payback’s coming they just don’t know how.

@ Lischelle
This is the one of the most asinine things I have ever heard of. The nerve of these savages! Some of this started with all the controversy surrounding removal of the confederate flag this past summer and the KKK feels removal of the confederate flag means they are being deprived of their culture. That flag has nothing to do with culture but does represent the barbaric treatment of people of color, especially African slaves and the descendants of African slaves.
African slaves and the descendants of African slaves are the ones whose culture has been destroyed. And regardless to what others may feel, the worst crime against humanity is to deprive a person of his or her culture. That is main problem with blacks in America to this day. We were cut off from our culture and forced to adopt the hostile one of the slave-master. So it is a wonder we are floundering and to be honest with you, we have to be very resilient people to have survived this. Anybody else would have crumbled by now.
I speak on behalf of us black people on this matter because everybody else except the Native Americans came to this country by choice so they have a country they can go back to if the heat turns up. Most blacks don’t have a clue where we came from in Africa so we have nowhere to return. By the way, have you ever noticed how easily when people from other countries come here, even with their own culture intact, how some of them even get caught up in this white supremacy matrix and try to assimilate? So how can anyone expect better from us who were shanghaied and brought to these shores. It is like crippling someone and then asking them to walk correctly.
By the way, the information you provided in your second entry when you stated “I found this little gem when I tried to find the definition for “YURUGU” is very profound. Thanks for sharing it because it really sums it up thoroughly. The hard part is getting black people from a collective standpoint to come to know the nature of Caucasian thought and behavior so we can think victoriously, etc.
“…By the way, have you ever noticed how easily when people from other countries come here, even with their own culture intact, how some of them even get caught up in this white supremacy matrix and try to assimilate?…”
Indeed I have Sharon53, and my answer to ALL immigrants is stay yo behind at home!! I was told that immigration officials discourage ALL immigrants from associating with A As while they are here, even African immigrants….not so much those from the Caribbean.
Here is my assessment of immigrants and even the MIXED Race Native Americans –
Asians = white man with chopsticks;
Arabs and whites from the so-called Middle East = white man with a jalabi;
Latinos/Hispanics = white man with a taco;
Native Americans in the Five Nations = white man with a teepee or peace pipe.
Never met a black Alaskan, but the Hawaiian islands is now full of MIXED race people, who have forgotten that King Kamehameha was BLACK as John Amos the actor, as was the last queen of Hawaii who was removed from her throne right before Hawaii became a state, so their attitude towards blacks is just as bad or negative. Our collective memory IS short or impaired, since we tend to be our own worst enemy BECAUSE our cultural was deliberately destroyed.
@ Sista Sharon:
” It is like crippling someone and then asking them to walk correctly”
How correct you are! As I have stated before, “Amerikka crippled a race of people and now wants to blame them for the manner in which they walk?”
The time for Yurugu is coming to a close. Believe THATl
@TrojanPam–
You know all too well that when whites come to predominately black spaces that they mean us NO GOOD! They always come to disrupt the exchange and get black folks ensnared in an unproductive debate with them designed to keep us off focus of generating workable solutions for our advancement.
Whites know all too well black folks’ innate desire to want to “educate” them and show them a better way. Blacks for some reason see it as our job to lead whites to the light and show them what humanity is– never realizing that these people can’t be educated and are anti-humanity. Just look at how your posters engaged in a nonsensical ‘tit-for-tat’ debate with the white troll. All that energy it took for them to refute his claims could have been used towards generating a workable PLAN for black advancement. See how that works? White folks know this all too well and are playing black bloggers like a fiddle.
I know you keep a pretty open policy on this blog, but you may want to consider banning white people from participating on this blog. Due to the nature of the subject matter of your contributions, I doubt very seriously that you will get any white participants that want to genuinely add to the conversation or want to assist black people in dismantling the system of white supremacy. Most of the whites you are going to get here are going to want to disrupt the conversation and redirect our energies towards chasing them. Not productive in the least.
You are an expert in the nuances of white supremacy, so you know better. Most blacks are not that astute when it comes to this so they are easily mislead.
@ reality_check
You make a valid point.
Yep, these sub-humans are adept at deflection, etc. skillfully moving AWAY from the topic at hand.
I swear it’s genetic. It’s right in their DNA to do this stuff. I am giddy seeing other Black Americans able to see this. Thank you for calling him out. Why not just BAN HIM?
@ Diary @Phazex_Female
Y’all both made good points that some of our people want be save. What I have notice the more time we spent trying to play caught up for the ones that are lost the more valuable time we lose in which we can build with like minded black people. When it goes down these lost black people will be a hazardous too us because they will be running too or aiding our enemies. Even our history tell us from the past on how much time our great leaders & people spent on trying to help a lost cause of people that aren’t worth saving.
Exactly, they’ll hijack everything and it’s sad and too time consuming to have to be weary of black people who serve as undercover brothers and sisters. Or don’t think we can progress without the enemy in our camp.Sadly, we repeat the past by doing the same thing.It’s time we realize to get different results we need to go a different route.
AngelLove9, I am not saying that you/we should bring them into PLANNING/STRATEGY meetings but at least CONSIDER listening to their ideas…they do rule the entire world after all. You’re intelligent enough to do a work-around to any B S they come up with. Remember, it is/was the Undercover brothers that killed Malcolm X. I don’t believe for one second that it was about religion or any insults to Elijah Muhammad either, it was the FEAR of black people coming together for ANY reason. They are afraid we will do to them, what they have been doing to us for centuries.
I’m all for no contact with them unless it’s a few continents or lifetimes away.That’s my belief. We are more than capable of subsisting without their input.Ask the Black Wall Street survivors or descendants. We were able to build and maintain successful communities without them.And they grew envious as they always do and burned it down and tried to erase that information. We’ve been listening to them for years and their not saying anything new or nothing we can’t say if they didn’t beat us into subjection.Maybe to “seem” to include them to elude suspicion but even that I’m weary of.If they had the chance they wipe us off the face of the earth with their slick words. Oh wait! That’s what they’re doing and have done overtime we’ve allowed them sympathy or an olive branch.It’s been centuries we’re stuck in sinking sand and the old way hasn’t worked. So we don’t need their toxic ideas or deadly lies.And yes the undercover brotha killed Malcom X. But who provided the gun and ammunition?
“….Maybe to “seem” to include them to elude suspicion but even that I’m weary of.If they had the chance they wipe us off the face of the earth with their slick words. Oh wait!

I gotcha…proceed as you see best, no problem since I am tired of marching and begging for justice as a born citizen of this country.
” So we don’t need their toxic ideas or deadly lies.And yes the undercover brotha killed Malcom X. But who provided the gun and ammunition?”
It was the FBI using CoINTELPRO to take down ALL of the non-white leaders of any group except the N O I because of religious fears about the M E I believe. But you all carry on as you see fit, no problem.
But who controls the FBI and who does the FBI represent *hint , not black people.
I don’t trust the FBI any more than I trust the local beat kkkop, angel9
We just need to follow the breadcrumb path it’ll lead us to Yurugus, overtime.So don’t be, like theodore and blame an organization as if we don’t know who’s at the heart of all these government organizations.Just say white people, are and were the strategists,behind Malcolm X’s demise.Not just the organizations created to further their agenda to keep them in power.
Thanks angel9, his murder was a pivotal point in my life because it changed how I began to view BLACK people after he was murdered. Then ML King, Jr. and I knew that a “race war” would kill an untold number of black people in this country.
WE AIN’T NO WHERE NEAR READY, and it has nothing to do with any “religion”
Yet, we have “leaders” coming out the WAZOO and they can’t come to any type of consensus either. You have religious leaders, criminal leaders, gang leaders, and family leaders and none of them will come together although ALL of them still get attacked. I hear some excellent ideas here, and I feel/read the passion but we are still out-gunned and currently out manned as well. Don’t think for a minute that those immigrant “white people” want you in control either, especially control of this military or police forces across the nation..
Too many of our leaders allow themselves to be bought out and compromise their beliefs.You don’t know who to trust.This Al Charlaton is a sell out. The NAACP is another white supremacist organization set up to monitor and “keep us in order” Why else would they allow that white lady easy access with her orange skin? And then allow her to getaway with her fraud with barely any legal actions.This system has set us up to fail and we have no protection The kkkops are another white supremacist tool and their military it’s their to keep the bankers rich and the white race in power.When we stop thinking this system is for us maybe we can get it together and find a solution to get from their evil systems and rebuild.
Angel9, I am a real Tech Doofus and I have two “messages” from ?you saying that I should go to their website because they liked my comment a lot. If it WAS YOU, could you give me a hint on who or what website I should be reading? I’ve been to a couple of racist websites/blogs, like Storm Front for example, and I was neither impressed nor intimidated…just a bunch of pathetic, broke ass rednecks in a pissing contest about who is the whitest and could come up with the best insult about Mud People and President Obama bashing.
I think it automatically happens when I hit like, it invites you to my blog “No One Hears Your Silence”which is still under construction.I just started it this week to journal my thoughts and vent.
Ahhh, I see….thanks. Now can you tell me how to “like” a comment? I have several that I am keeping for that purpose
When we reply like this, just hit the star under your comment
nope. I don’t fully agree with that. based on the behavior that I have seen. Most white supremacists are just miserable, bullies, cruel and HATEFUL!
Alright Alicia, I’ll have to leave it up to you young people because I just saw a video about how the British slaughtered about a half million aborigines in Australia, and they aren’t teaching any of that history to later generations….not even their own white kids. I’ll have to let you guys use your best judgement…no problem.
NON BLACK AFRICAN PEOPLE love giving their input on black solutions when blacks come together to talk about our issues concerning us. These NON BLACK AFRICAN PEOPLE are nothing more then a distraction from keeping us from doing work in our communities.
your communities are ours as well.
im not here to give solutions. i have no grounds in which to do so. honestly, i was & still am curious as to how you guys act. the slightly extreme essence of people in your demographic. im unsure as to weather you are for bloodshed or harmony. & maybe see if i could make a friend
im less than 30 years old but i know being friendly is what i want to do.
You are not our friend and we don’t need your friendship. Get lost.
Uh, Tasha….I think Theodore got lost a long time ago. I wish there was some way to date these posts
Shanequa AND Lischelle:
Speak on it! It is OUR people that must DO self-determination. And people of others races for a hard time digesting this. Oh well, catch the clue is all that I can state!
Moving on, we KNOW the “root cause” of most of our issues. Now we have to figure out, like a weed, how to eradicate it so to speak.
No one said that it would be easy for ANY of us to try to de-program over 500 years of indoctrination. But we have to at least try. People should utilize “brain power” to the 10th power in coming together to figure this out. HOW in the sam hell can someone of another race TELL US our history and (riddle me this?) we as black people, were here even BEFORE the Native Americans up Columbus’ boats when he hit the shores? (Another reason why, personally I do not celebrate Turkey Day)
When racists are continually attempting to annihilate our black race by sullying our gene pool, the food supply, diseases, etc. then one needs to look inward and honestly see that there are NO lengths that the enemy will not resort to.
Some of US just absolutely refuse to be saved. Then leave them to their own devices I’d state. Hell, we have one common enemy (non-blacks), I’m not trying to fight two at the same time.
I get what BOTH of you are stating.
Phazez_Female
“White supremacy is built on bully behavior: A bully never feels sorry for you. He only sees your weakness as an opportunity for him to dominate you that much more. So, the bully of White Supremacy, upon observing black men who are depressed and mentally weak, only sees this as further evidence that the marginalization and ultimate extermination of young black males has a net benefit to society…”
Just read this on the Dr. Boyce Watkins website @Phazez_Female and I may see what my personal problem is if single mothers OVER protect their black sons, but that is because we raised them to love and respect everyone they meet. When they reached their twenties, I did teach them that SELF LOVE is or should be their primary goal in life. As they connect with others on their life path – male, female, black, white AND Jap-Talian – unless they put their needs above ALL others, including ME!!, they will not survive and anyone will take advantage of that “weakness”. Besides, if they aren’t alive none of this crap matters anyway, life goes on and so will your children, girlfriend, wife, etc.
Which would explain why Theodore is trying to build an alliance on this site, at least that is what I am seeing. Read his posts without interjecting your own perceptions…he doesn’t see himself as a “white man” that is also a threat to black cohesion. Personally, I take “help” where I can find it and don’t care if the person is plaid. When I say that our alliances have always been temporary, the Ancestors found out the hard way as they trusted not only Europeans that first came to Africa, then Native Americans did the same thing….we just weren’t used to people lying with a straight face as a strategy of war. I still have problems with it, although my enemy was USUALLY a person of color….white people couldn’t get close enough to me to do any real damage. So support his ideas or not, doesn’t matter to me but he really needs to let go of that notion that some religion is the problem OR the saving grace for racism in this country. I am always reminded of The Curse of Ham when religion is mentioned, and ALL of the Abrahamic religions embrace it wholeheartedly AND without question when it comes to black people. So when I hear about islamists – who don’t like black people either – I just remember the Zanj Wars of the past and vowed that as long as they keep that crap in the East, we won’t have a problem if they do come here it is every man for himself, but I was BORN here!! Don’t start no sh*t won’t be no sh*t.
@Lischelle — the Curse of Ham lie started with the TALMUD circa 8th century. Although it didn’t originate in Khazaria, (southern Russian) this is where this lie among many others were injected into the Talmud, which originated in Babylon circa 500 bc among the Hebrew captives.
Here’s the fallacy regarding the so-called Curse of Ham…. if Black people SUPPOSEDLY come from a Black Ham, then Genetics 101 should tell you that Ham, his brothers Shem and Japheth, and his father (Noah) WERE ALL BLACK MEN. They’ve indoctrinated us into believing that a white Noah had a Black son (Ham), White son (Japtheth) and Brown son (Shem)… but the God of miracles is also the God of science, logic and reason. If Ham was Black, then guess what, so was everyone else on that ark, as well as everyone else in the antediluvian world.
White can come from Black, but the reverse is scientifically impossible. Same with Adam and Eve — the first humans COULD NOT HAVE BEEN A RECESSIVE GENE PEOPLE. White people can NOT give Black people what they DON’T have (melanin, dominant genes, etc). Hence the invention of Curse of Ham to relegate our (Black) existence to just Africa, when Black people are indigenous to:
Europe — Augnacians/Grimaldi
Arabia and Mesopatamia — Moors/Natufians/Sumerians
India — Dravidians/Tamils/Andaman
SE Asia — Negritos (don’t like that term)
East Asia — Jomon/Shang/Ainu
Australia and Oceania — Aboriginies, Papuans, Melanesians
Americas — Melanesians. Those so-called “Beringians” who came from Siberia arrived and saw Black people already here. Another lie perpetrated by the “system”.
We can thank the Kazars for injecting this lie into the TALMUD circa 8th century AD. These people are CONVERTS to TALMUDISM (not Judaism, there’s no such thing), they’re the white European ancestors to the people who call themselves “jews” today. THERE IS NOTHING EUROPEAN ABOUT BEING HEBREW. Not the food, language, customs and culture which are Afro-Asiatic — NOT European. Please don’t forget this.
I say all that to say this: There is no such thing as the Curse of Ham, and you can thank the people who call themselves “Jews” for perpetuating this lie that has filtered into every system today. The Bible calls these people IMPOSTORS for a reason, they are NOT the children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, they have not one drop of Hebrew blood. Neither are those Ishmaelites (Arabs) who are all fighting each other to the death over the promised land. The heirs to Israel are the people who are hated the world over, and have been treated as such (repeatedly enslaved to the highest proportions, brutalized, raped, killed mercilessly, etc). I think we know who these people are….. only the Messiah can save them because he is ALLOWING this to happen to his people for their stiffnecked disobedience FROM DAY ONE AFTER CROSSING THE RED SEA TO CRUCIFYING THEIR OWN DELIVERER. Remember, it was THEM that said let Christ’s blood be on THEM and THEIR CHILDREN for crucifying him, oh how that prophecy is being fulfilled as we speak… it is HE ALONE who will redeem them upon his return, not a man. While his hand is stretched out still, he nonetheless has an unending LOVE for HIS people and he will fight their oppressors and put them back in their land (Isreal) to the shock of all their enemies. Its a day we should all be looking forward to….
@Providence
I really enjoyed reading the information you read and agree.Our pride and disobedience keeps getting us delivered into the hands of enemies. And the Lord keeps telling us to get out from them and their “system”. But as I wrote earlier we keep doing the same things and expecting different results which is ludicrous.And we’re not being punished individually but as a whole.So one sins and we all sin.
I’m trying to find the post by Providence, there should be some way to “LIKE” or support or flag some of this great ideas and suggestions.
Thanks Angel, you “get” it. I can tell from some of the comments you’ve made in here that you’re a student of the Bible, most people don’t know that its a Black history book. There’s nothing remotely “european” about the Bible or the various African, Asiatic and Afro-Asiatic (all Black groups) within it, with the exception of the apocryphal Persians (mixed Black Elamites and Aryan Medes), and new testament Greeks and Romans, much of whom were mixed Black Pelasgians, Cretians and Etruscans with various Central Asian Hellenes anyway. They whitewashed the Bible so much they have the world believing the white people in Israel now are the children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, people who were confused for Black Kemetians in ancient times. Its no wonder they’ve de-Africanized KMT all these years, b/c if it were a Black nation, that would mean the Israelites who border KMT and LOOKED JUST LIKE THEM had to have been Black too. Well, the children of Israel were Black then, and are Black now. This is key in understanding why Black people the world over have been hated so much. Its because its IN the various Black nations and ethnicities, lie God’s chosen people. Of course the adversary (satan) knows this and planted the seeds of modern racism with the indoctrination of the Curse of Ham as early as the 1st century (see Origen). There are Black people in this very discussion who are still asking “why us” and the answers lie in archaeology, history, genetics and the BIBLE. You don’t even need to read the Bible to see that white supremacy is nothing more than a response to a FEAR and deep rooted admiration, MASKED IN HATRED, of the darkest-skinned people on this planet. Why? Because despite centuries-old propaganda, we are literally the closest-resembling 2 people in the garden made in God’s image, Adam and Eve. From a Black brother and Black sister sprang mankind (which is what “Adam” means). And from the Black patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob came the 12 tribes of Israel, who are fulfilling the Biblical prophecies of worldwide slavery, subjugation, degradation, affliction, persecution, and ultimately REDEMPTION as, clearly outlined in books like Deuteronomy, Leviticus, Isaiah, Ezekiel Joel, etc, as we speak. To my knowledge, I’m not descended from the Israelites (I’m straight African), but even I can Praise Yah for this truth!
Thank you. If I could like your comments a million times I would.I appreciate reading your comments and I love to provoke those with even the slightest hunger for the truth to seek it.
But here I concur with everything you wrote.And there are many who put away the biblical truths saying they have been whitewashed so they don’t relate but if we realize the enemy we’re dealing with then we should know the truth. His devices aren’t old as “there’s nothing new under the sun” the enemy has been doing this to us for centuries and we are doing the same things and expecting different results.
We need to stop focusing on learning the whitewashed education and dying for it and instead look to what’s before our eyes.I notice the Yurugus will show the truth but the game in it for them is to try to convince you it’s not true all while basking in the praise from them being frauds.
I love my people with and undying passion but I’m not too proud to realize that we can’t fight spiritual enemies in the physical and expect victory.We’re fighting principalities.It’s very easy to believe that everything is in the physical but we’re not making any hedge way. And people will deny and say they rather take a more “practical” approach and while I don’t see a white jesus “savior” as the answer I strongly believe we have the answer to overcome “the haters of our race” without touching a hair on their heads or being in their presence. And its through the most high.He tells us why we’re in captivity and how to get out of it but as usual we lean to our own understanding or now the Yurugus savage education which has gotten us nowhere but farther in captivity.When nothing else works missing a few meals is the least we can do and much better than the slow death we go through daily trying to survive amongst such distorted, inexplicable, hatred.
But I love to see when you drop some knowledge on the thread, a breath of fresh air.Be Blessed.
VERY well stated, Providence! Thank you for showing why it is so very important that ALL of our people KNOW our history.
As it has been said, “each one, teach one.” And these words should be taken seriously.
Phazex_Female
Providence….thanks for the history lesson, but the JEWS didn’t start this happy crappy about the Curse of Ham IMO. Most of them already know that the Abraham clan was brown/black men, including Jesus the Christ. No, I think this crap was started by Europeans when the first church was built and they put a SPIN on the facts and the books themselves. I’m not disputing your DNA science, as you are quite correct, however JEWS have only been classified as “white” for about the past 50 years….and that is according to their own historians, not me. Much like those white “Muslims” who also embrace the Curse of Ham theory.
HI Lischelle, I guarantee you, the Curse of Ham began and spread with them (Jews), a little research easily proves this. What would a Greek or Roman who were PAGANS know about the ancient Hebrew manuscripts, unless someone familiar with the culture TAUGHT them??? As quiet as its kept even the Dead Sea scrolls prove the NT was originally written in Hebrew, and PALEO Hebrew at that, not that Masoretic block text crap the Ashkenazi Jews invented and pass off as “Hebrew” today. They don’t even speak the language, they speak a creole called “Yiddish” lol. Remember, every book in the Bible was written BY Isrealites, ABOUT Isrealies and FOR Israelites — everyone else must be “grafted in” or follow the ways (laws, statutes and commandments) given them by THEIR Elohim. The NT was NOT originally written in Greek as the mainstream likes to tell us. The people who knew Hebrew — and technically are Hebrew themselves and are well known to have passed themselves off as “Israelites” even when they weren’t — were the EDOMITES. I believe its the apocryphal book of Maccabees that said that as a kingdom, they converted to the ways of the Israelites and passed themselves off as such. The offspring of these Edomites as well as earlier Babylonian converts largely comprised of the NT Sanhedrin (Sadducees and Pharisees), two groups of the priesthood that DESPISED one another, but came together against the Israelite Messiah, the Isrealite apostles and the early Isrealite church (which comprised of Isrealites and converts of all nation). By the time we get to the Sanhedrin in the NT, the bloodline of the priesthood class was mixed with Edomites, Babylonian, Sepharad, etc. That’s why the Levitical priesthood of the OT was so different from the priesthood of the NT, it had become a political office ruled by people whom many weren’t even bloodline Isrealites. Rememer, the NT opens up with Herod who was an EDOMITE, these guys were practically RULING Israel by government and by priesthood by Roman proxy. The book of Obadiah talks about this. This is why if you notice, Yeshua HATED the priesthood, yes, they are Hebrew b/c they’re sons of Abraham just as he stated (John 8:37), they are Hebrew Edomites, BUT THEY ARE NOT HEBREW ISRAELITES. Abraham was the father of many nations, therefore there are Hebrew Ishmaelites, Hebrew Midianites, and yes even Hebrew Edomites, but only the seed of JACOB received the promise to be God’s “chosen”. Why else do you think they (Sanhedrin) were SO BLIND to the Messiah when he was so easily foretold of in the manuscripts? Because every manuscript was written by a Hebrew ISREALITE, not the Edomites, et al, who could read them, but void of truly understanding and embracing them.
These strange lot of people (Hebrew Edomites) continued their persecution of Hebrew Israelites and assisted in the destruction of the temple and final dispersal of Israel from their Land circa 70 ad — again the book of Obadiah prophesies of God’s impending judgement on Edom for this atrocity. These strange people and their PROSELYTITES to Judaism (which is really Talmudism) are the ones who took their strange doctrine to the Khazars of Europe. Various people groups had been converting to “Judaism” for centuries, but the conversion of the Khazars marked the largest conversion to Talmudism in Talmud history. I’ll be honest, I can’t tell you EXACTLY where and when the Curse of Ham started, but it appears it was quoted by Origen, a so-called church father, as early as the 3rd century. Trust and believe, he was Greek himself, he didn’t drum this stuff up outta nowhere, he got this from people who were NOT Israelites, but people who were familiar enough with the ancient manuscripts to pass it off as fact to suit their own agenda. The only people this fits are the Edomites, who had long before converted to the ways of Israel by this time and were POSING as such then. Who is POSING as Israel now?
“There is Edom. And Edom is in Modern Jewry” Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925 edition, Vol. 5, p. 41.
@Angel For some reason I can’t post directly under your comment, so I’m replying here — but thank you sis, I enjoy reading your posts as well. I emphatically agree with your statements the battle is already won, the Most High fights for us when we OBEY his laws and stay in HIS will, not the will of the Edomite/Jewish Talmud and the European Roman Catholic Church. The same people who told us and the world at large that they are “done away with” are the ones who are launching an all out assault on us from all fronts the RCC (white Europeans) and Jews (white Edomites)…. their “god” can’t be the same as our Elohim, its IMPOSSIBLE.
Providence, no use arguing with me or rather, trying to convince me that your version is the right or correct one. Not trying to be snippy or insolent about it but, I really don’t care about ANY of the Abrahamic faiths and refuse to drawn into a discussion about their history or their deity since they all pray to the same one, just using a different name for him.
My POINT was and still is that the first Church, and I guess the first Masjid/Mosque leaders apparently got together and concocted this “Curse of Ham” myth, at the same time that they came up with the Color Wheel as explained by Dr. Frances Cress Welsing of today. That is why the rape of Mother Africa worked so well, whites from the East collecting black GOLD (both human and metal) and whites from the West coming in with version of religion to destroy our WILL and to go along with subservience into perpetuity because GODDIDIT. The religious SPIN had to be in place because we were and still are great warriors, without including some religious psycho-babble to reinforce it.
I’m not a follower of any of the faiths and don’t mean to offend those of you who are, but I just can’t wrap my head around praying to a Sky Daddy that sees me and my people as a perpetual servant to the most degenerate and hateful people on this planet. If you want to start an argument or a fight with SOME followers, tell them that their prophet or messiah was a black man then step back and put up your guard, because it pisses them off something terrible…especially certain Muslims. And check a MODERN Bible as they tend to change/update it every ten years; there WAS a physical description of Jesus the Christ in it, but when I talked to a preacher 10 years ago, she told there me that there isn’t one although I read it in my grandmother’s Bible and again in my own NIV some years later
@Lischelle, no offense taken, I’m not trying to force or argue any belief on you, I apologize if I was coming off that way. I was just trying to make that link of Edom to the Curse of Ham. History and the Jewish Encyclopedia show that Edom is modern Jewry (Talmudism). And you’re so right, the Abrahamic religions have been bastardized so much to fit the agenda of modern Europeans, Edomites (Jews) and Arabs — none of which serves us as a Black people. The funny thing is — the people who form the root of all three of these religions, were various Black tribes. The ancient Hebrews, Edomites and Arabs were all Black from the Book of Genesis. How ironic….
@Providence
Interesting points Sister.
No ma’am, Providence…you were NOT trying to draw me into an argument, but I don’t know how deep your religious beliefs are and where they will lead you, because I have a cousin that combines Baptist and J W beliefs, and SWEARS that my soul is going to hell because I won’t attend Bible study with them – although he’s a crack head and she’s an Evil Tongued Gossip Monger that thrives on melodrama.
No, I was merely declining further debate because ….your history is correct and thorough, but no one really cares anymore since most Jews know already that Jesus the Christ was indeed a brown man, just like the Prophet Muhammad….but the whiter Edomites and Ishmaelites of today must get social PERKS for aligning with Europeans in the Color Wheel myth of the Curse of Ham. I clearly remember Ahmadinejead saying that Americans elected a “House Negro” into the White House, also I remember that the sex slave of Osama Bin Laden refers to Africans as “breedstock”….they know that they came from black people, and that is why a lot of them wear a turban so that you can’t see the Dookie braids on their head!! They ain’t fighting for Islam….they are fighting for world supremacy. Go to Runoko Rashidi’s site and research the Zanj Wars to find out how they really feel about Africans whether they convert of not. ALL white people have bought into the Curse of Ham myth
@Phazex_Female thank you sister.
“….No one said that it would be easy for ANY of us to try to de-program over 500 years of indoctrination. But we have to at least try. People should utilize “brain power” to the 10th power in coming together to figure this out. HOW in the sam hell can someone of another race TELL US our history and (riddle me this?) we as black people, were here even BEFORE the Native Americans up Columbus’ boats when he hit the shores? (Another reason why, personally I do not celebrate Turkey Day)….”
Right Phazex, I DON’T DO any holidays anymore, but trying to get ALL of US on the same page at the same time has always stumped me. I always get hit with some pseudo-religious psychobabble about how I am SUPPOSED to behave to save some black male unworthy of my frikkin time let alone my money.
“…When racists are continually attempting to annihilate our black race by sullying our gene pool, the food supply, diseases, etc. then one needs to look inward and honestly see that there are NO lengths that the enemy will not resort to.
Some of US just absolutely refuse to be saved. Then leave them to their own devices I’d state. Hell, we have one common enemy (non-blacks), I’m not trying to fight two at the same time…”
Yep, that is why I had to finally give my own siblings some Let Lone, and left that Slave State. If my sons don’t straighten up, I will be giving them Let LONE as well. I am tired of foolishness, STUPID and especially Baby Mama Drama!! They can wear a rug out!!
They are very divisive.Hence NEVER to be trusted by any means possible.They’re not individuals, they operate as a whole and are launching attacks in our blogs to get us off track.But let’s overlook the “theodore” troll.And continue, so horrible we have to do these race improvement blogs on the very public internet spy web.
@angel9loveu
I agree with you Sister.
I follow that train as well!
Phazex_Female
@Shanequa.
We should work together in our communities and not allow any non black person distract us. You have shown great information.
@ Timothy thank you brother.
@Shanequa
You’re Welcome Sister.
Goodnight.
@ Shanequa
They have a vested interest in making sure the black “sleeping giants” don’t wake up by using distraction and distortion.
I find it especially telling when some whites come on this blog and attempt to DIVERT the topic at hand to what is happening to white people.
Yet, I doubt they spend ANY TIME on white blogs and websites telling other white people to stop being racist
That’s what theodore needed to do.Go to the source his own race. But they blame shift as usual to the Ashkenazi Jews who are also white.So until they do that they need to be blocked and ignored.
Great Article Sister Trojan Pam
The handwriting is one the wall. The vast majority of the commercials that I have seen recently that shows a black man will show a black man with a non-black female. The only exception is one car commercial where the black man and a black woman couple go into the football game. That’s it. So, the white supremacists do want the breakup of the relationship between black men and black women, because when black people of both genders unite, form more black children, and stand up against the system for real, then we can get something done. No black people should watch any show or fund any movie that degrades black people. It is common sense for us to tune out the TV and focus on reading, learning technology, learning agriculture, learning vocational skills, learning about developing enterprises, and other progressive actions in order for us to be liberated. Liberation deals with independence and human autonomy. We should talk to our families and our friends about these important issues. It is very important that we control how we act and who we give our support too. We should never worship the oppressor as Blackness is superior to any evil in the Universe. So, we have a chance to win. We just have to execute the work. We have work to do. The many disgraceful shows that use millions of our taxpayers dollars to slander our black image is truly an outrage. Our enemy is our enemy. We should never underestimate the enemy. We should advance more group unity in the black community and outline strategies. Black Unity and Black Liberation are concepts that we respect.
Very true,they’ll never change,show no signs of changing and are only around to derail our plans.I vote to leave them out completely.
@angel9loveu
You’re right.
@ Timothy
I wholeheartedly agree.
I believe a lot of these shows would drop off the radar — Scandal, Empire, Tyler Perry BUFFOONERY sit coms, etc — if we stop watching them
There’s no use creating poison if no one is drinking it
Totally concur TrojanPam, I can’t tolerate STUPID for long periods, I’ve never watched any of those shows and gave up on Jerry Springer when they brought on one buffoon after another, AND their own mother as well….smh. I can’t tolerate manufactured DRAMA either
No, not Jerry Springer. He’s so messy.
Not to worry, I don’t DO reality TV anymore anyway, too much drama
That’s their purpose
That may well BE their purpose but I have never been into unnecessary melodrama, and I have never been a fan of soap opera drama because I could never wrap my head around white, wealthy or rich AND drama without end? If they were poor and black, I’d buy it without any problems because generational poverty makes some people make really bad decisions. But I just couldn’t buy into the notion that having money and being white, with all their privileges and they still act just as ghetto as Pooky and Shaniqua!!
@Sister Trojan Pam
You’re right. We know what we must do. We just have to express the will to do and just do it.
For years and decades, the enemy has made it perfectly clear (with their TV shows, their movies, their propaganda, their unjust laws, etc.) that they hate us and that they want to exploit us for their survival and not for our benefit. I have noticed that the shows that you have mentioned from Scandal, Empire, to Tyler Perry’s anti-black modern minstrel shows won’t praise Malcolm X, Harriet Tubman, Marcus Garvey, Sojourner Truth, and other black heroes who stood up for black liberation.
Not seeing televised poison and helping our people are important to do.
since this group of well articulated folks has made it crystal clear how they feel i rekon i’ll leave everyone to their own devices.
if you guys are as vested as you seem, find a suitable plot & settle. clarify your gene pool. be the contrast of those old southern democrats.

I get it regarding Theodore, the same old grind of divide and conquer.

Another new socks, old shoes. But the bottom line is for us all to remain vigilant!
The Struggle Continues.
Phazex_Female
Just making suggestions, because I don’t run a thing….not even this blog site. Take what info is relevant to you and discard the rest….no problem and my “feelings” won’t be hurt in the least. You youngsters carry on, personally I think you are doing a bang up job already at least from what I’m reading here is any indication
This is one of the main reasons I don’t watch tv or other mainstream media. White supremacist and anti-black, plus negative and hateful! I think its important to notice the subliminal messages that the hateful white media sends out. The average black female of any age who indulges in mainstream media is being fed a lot of bull that black men don’t want black women and that were lowly, unwanted, etc which is the opposite of the truth!
@ Alicia
Exactly, and that is one reason so many black females are demoralized, angry, and combative (in a passive or aggressive way) with other black females, and why we so many of us are such difficult romantic partners for black males
BECAUSE WE DON’T TRUST ANYONE
This explains why it was so D easy to get us to call each other FOUL NAMES, like bitch and ho and tramp and thing, etc. and even get to the sorry state of mind where we call other black females “bitches” as a term of endearment (???)
This devastated state of mind also explains why we dislike each other so much. After all, if I’m a worthless black BITCH, then so are other black females. If I don’t like myself or feel good about myself (because I’m a worthless black BITCH)
then I can’t possibly like or respect (truly) other black females and all I see in them is COMPETITION for a small number of romantically available men — single OR married.
and if I encounter another black BITCH who feels good about herself, I will make sure i bring her down. I will sleep with her husband and even go as far as to call their home and harass the wife because she is just another BLACK BITCH, JUST LIKE ME, and I owe her no respect because I do not respect myself.
(I am definitely NOT saying this is true of all black females but I think every female reading has seen this or has participated in the above behaviors, so I’m going to tell the truth here)
this also explains why so many of us DISTORT our natural beauty with hairstyles and colors that absolutely DO NOT FLATTER us, because our self-image is in such a state of DISTORTION (thanks to mainstream, white supremacist programming VIA the media)
that when we look in the mirror we don’t even SEE what is really there, we see what our distorted mindset tells us is more beautiful
i see the pain every day of my life and it is heart-breaking
BUT
we are the only ones who can fix us, and we must gain the COURAGE to do it
That means we must respect ourselves enough to STOP INGESTING SO MUCH ENTERTAINMENT POISON and be very selective about the things that we watch (or forego TV altogether, but that probably won’t happen)
Funny you mention about the black women who tear each other down.At my job there were so few BW and men.And I thought(naively) oh yeah color in the building, and lived to eat my words and choke on them.When these race traitors tore me down for having a higher degree than they did, being dark skinned and a whole bunch of foolishness.
And they accepted a WW more who claimed she loved BM which I knew meant she loved black dick not the black race.And they had the audacity to behind my back say the WW was more black cause I didn’t hangout with them in the clubs or drank alcohol cause I hated the feeling alcohol gave me. And I’ve never liked clubs or overly crowded rooms.Suddenly,they were thinking on behalf of me and made up lies as well as spied for the white people in the office and they started the ball rolling.They did everything in their power to get me fired.And I couldn’t trust black people or women.But eventually I realized that I have to be the difference I wanted to see and these women are operating off ignorance.Which is their problem not mine.
OMG!
That has happened to me, too!
@Courtney H.
So sorry that happened to you. I feel your pain.Trust me it’s more prevalent than you think with the coon mentality.And blacks thinking they can climb farther up the social ladder by keeping in the good graces of whitey. Such a shame but what can you do when we work in a system that’s meant to oppress us and pit us against each other.With the hopes that we’ll do their dirty work for them and kill each other.
@Angel9loveu:
Thank you for your support. I’ve been in many situations where I’ve been hurt by fellow Blacks, including being bullied in school. That has rubbed off on me, because there have been times when I’ve been mean to other Black people. I have made an effort to treat everyone the same, regardless of color, especially other Blacks. A lot of this two-facedness has to do with self-hatred that is a part of racism/white supremacy. Thank you all for telling your stories, because that is a way of healing.
No problem,we all need to heal but must first realize the weapons they’re using against us to counterattack.I would really love if the more they tried to divide us the more we came together.
Yes, I’m sorry too. I will never understand why blacks are not kinder to each other and support each other more. We are mere humans after all, however given the evil wishes and attacks and oppression we have gone through for the last 500+ years you would think we would understand the need to be kind and support each other. I just really don’t understand it.
Re: “They did everything in their power to get me fired.”
The absolute craziest thing to me. What baffles my mind more than anything else is HOW black people can fight other blacks in the workplace of all places. The last thing I’d want to do is fight another black woman on the job of all places. I just will never get it. Bullying period has always baffled me but black women turning first to another black woman to hate on, ESPECIALLY in a work environment where we usually are not wanted anyway, is sooo strange and scary to me.
It’s to the point now where I get vibes from not only whites, but asians and hispanics whom automatically expect blacks to attack each other while in their company. very sad to the point that we’ve gotten, seriously!
Moreover, the workplace is one where Hispanics, Asians, Indians and others are the MOST united. I watch an Indian come into a department and after a while, half the department is Indian. Same thing with Hispanics. very united in the workplace.
Whites like to see themselves at the top. Why are we tearing each other down? I guess I have never been a bully myself so just can’t grasp it or understand it.
Alicia you don’t have to BE a bully, just recognize it when you see it so that you can avoid it whenever possible, whether it is friend, foe AND family
Me neither, I always wondered why we couldn’t unite and get together.I began to develop a huge distrust for my race and I could understand how other black people felt the same.As it seemed black people try to put on a show to the “white massa” of their loyalty.I’ve been through it with our race especially at work. My workplace mainly had whites and it was like walking on eggshells, never offend the “white massa” nor “their pets” cause that’s what they seemed like to me. The blacks co workers who were the snitches against any black person who they deemed a threat.
But I’ve seen other ethnicities come together also and take their kind under their wings but not really black people. We’re so divided and have the most messed up motives it’s ridiculous. But I decided to be my own boss and remove myself from the toxic environments. However, once again the root of the problems stem from gaining approval from the white sociopaths and their systematic oppression.
Being ones own boss is a good route to go. I’m not there yet but hope to develop an entrepreneur spirit sometime in the future. Working around hateful people is not something I want to do for the rest of my life. I don’t even know if I can take 5 more years of it.
It’s hard but these types of toxic environments aren’t healthy.You have to start setting up for a departure.If it means networking,getting more education,learning another marketable skill.
But those people are ill themselves and if you think it won’t transfer or make you ill you’re mistaken.
I had to reply again and say that this is problem it spot on!
re: “However, once again the root of the problems stem from gaining approval from the white sociopaths and their systematic oppression.”
@Alicia
Because I have seen black women tear each other down so much in the workplace, it does not surprise me to see it any more, nor am I surprised when I read it on this blog. I have actually been a victim myself and you are correct, it is very scary. These self-loathers are difficult to get off your back in the workplace because you are required to be professional and any slip of the tongue could actually get the victim fired instead of the perpetrator.
You stated “I guess I have never been a bully myself so just can’t grasp it or understand it.”
Actually the term “bullying” is too nice of a word to describe these situations even though bullying is a byproduct of insecurity. These people imposing this type of self-hatred are self-haters and one of the most frightening things is seeing self-hatred put into action.
Boom! that’s what it is. That’s why it’s scary. Because it’s not logical and Is self-hatred. I recall a while back while interning I had a black receptionist insult me under her breathe and even the white guy who didn’t want me to get the position at all, had to cringe and was like “wow.you guys attack each other!”. It’s weird to everyone. Mind you, this was a company where me, her and another older black lady were the only ones in the entire company.
I had to think back to a while back I noticed on two different occasions where a black young lady was walking and seemed sorta angry. As if they had dealt with something ( it was the workplace and often times whites can irk ones nerves with their hating). I could see it in their body language as they passed me.
In both cases, I could also feel a vibe as if they were looking for another black woman to throw it on, to hurt.
That to me is so scary. Sure, it’s the workplace, so you can’t really attack a white person, but why do you need to attack ANYONE? People need to deal better with their emotions, and not instantly act crazy.
Putting effort into getting another black woman fired, is especially CRAZY AND SCARY to me. I mean how does getting another black woman fired stop racism, or change how your own co-workers deal with you? Why not try to kill them with kindness? Why succumb to that strange self-hate in a world where everyone else realizes the importance of unity?
@Alicia
Regarding your statement “…Sure, it’s the workplace, so you can’t really attack a white person, but why do you need to attack ANYONE?”
Of course, other blacks know the consequences if they dare attack a white person. Also when I think of the attacks that I have personally seen and experienced, they have mostly been covert but occasionally overt. However, if a person outwardly appears to have an attitude, then that person can sometimes be easier to deal with, because you know they may possibly be an enemy or they may not be. I just tend to stay away from them and try not to become engaged in a dispute with them. But then, I rarely experience overt hostility in the workplace. The hostility I have experienced and seen others experience is usually covert. As I have stated on blogs before, I believe because some of us have become so white-identified, that we have started doing things a whole lot more the way whites do them and come across like a friend, instead of the enemy to trick someone.
For instance, a black coworker may come across as a friend, asking you out to lunch, etc., to try to set you up by talking about controversial issues, like racism, politics, religion, how much money you are making, etc. and can’t wait to get back to the office to tell the people in charge, knowing this may tick them off. This kind of stuff usually happens to people when they first start on a job before they can really get their foot in the door because most jobs start you out as a contractor first. If you start out on a bad-footing, the contract may not be renewed.
Other times, black coworkers will do things to try to make you uncomfortable by excluding you from going to lunch or other events and then lie and say you are the one who refused to join them for lunch. The victim may or may not notice they are being alienated and have no way of knowing someone is lying on them behind their back.
Sometimes the black female may be in some peon supervisory role, but will keep other black employees under the radar, looking for things wrong with their work so that they can get written up when it comes to evaluation time. And even worst, look for ways to not give them credit for the areas where they may excel. She usually does not have authority to fire or hire but is happy to pass this on to her massa boss to get you in trouble. We all know that being on time for work is important and I am a stickler about being on time for everything anyway. As a result, I have always been given high marks. But I even had a black female supervisor sneak and put something in an evaluation on me, stating I was tardy. This was something that I could disprove because we had to clock in on our phones, so she hid that information in an obscure area on the page so I could not see it. It is hard to believe someone is that evil.
One thing I do know is I cannot control what someone else does, nor can I read someone else’s mind, so I have no way of knowing what someone else’s motives are. I can only go on experience and observations and try to stay knowledgeable of the nuances of white supremacy, racism, colorism/shadism, etc. so that I can deal with this craziness. Some people may try to turn your opinion around on you and try to blame you for what is going on but at this point in my life, I mostly work with black men and have had some of them as supervisors and I have never experienced this cut-throat behavior from any of them. And I am the same person with the same attitude also, so I know the problem does not lie with me but with something going on inside the heads of other black females both in the workplace and outside the workplace.
“Moreover, the workplace is one where Hispanics, Asians, Indians and others are the MOST united. I watch an Indian come into a department and after a while, half the department is Indian. Same thing with Hispanics. very united in the workplace.
Whites like to see themselves at the top. Why are we tearing each other down? I guess I have never been a bully myself so just can’t grasp it or understand it.”
I believe that part of it is that many blacks DO see themselves as “powerless” and turn on one another never stopping to realize that WE are the number one race that does this. Yet will give another race a “pass” for transgressions that they commit.
And I also believe that blacks becoming a self-contained, COHESIVE UNIT is part of the message that this site entails.
I know that it is hard to wake the” sleeping gian”t, they WILL fight you “tooth and nail “besides white supremists. But hang in there!

“that means we must respect ourselves enough to stop ingesting so much entertainment poison and be very selective about the things that we watch(or forego TV altogether, but that probably won’t happen)”
Well, I am glad to say that I got rid of the TV’s in my home 7 years ago. At the time, my daughter was 10 and my son 8. One day I just did it! Lo and behold it was EASY. My children didn’t miss it, in fact within a years time, they were coming home from school(after having discussions about what was on TV at school with their peers)… they came to the conclusion themselves, that they weren’t missing anything! YES! The only person who had TV addiction withdrawals was my husband. However, 7 years later, his behavior is as such; he goes to my book shelves and retrieves books. This week he is reading Black Love is A Revolutionary Act!!!!
In conclusion, thank you for taking the time to inform our people,by writing those books. Also, I shared my personal experience, hoping that it might give someone else the inspiration to get rid of the TV. Believe me, it was one of the easiest things to do! You will develop better habits to replace it!
@Justaintso
*Applauds* Now more people need to jump on the bandwagon.This is where we need to begin to snatch back our children from these toxic, mental poisons has Yurugu secretly launched in our homes.
I’m usually on the internet and have one tv.And I’ll turn it off for months at a time but now.I’m ready to sell it but my husband won’t let me.I’m more into reading blogs and books about our people. And solutions.
Excellent use of time you have! Through the years I have attained so many books, that I am contemplating starting another library at home over the forthcoming down time or holiday time that is coming.
I think that it would be great if, in addition to Sista Pam’s books, that ALL of us could recommend books that we have read to one another.
Who knows? Maybe something constructive could come out of this. Now THAT is a happy thought!
I have the PERFECT book suggestion for everyone Phazex_Female, it is “CoINTELPRO” and gives a complete history of the FBIs surveillance and destruction of minority leaders and groups for decades. It is diabolical the lengths they went through to maintain white supremacy
@ Phazex_Female
That’s a great idea, a home library. When our children see us reading and enjoying the written word, they will embrace it
My mother and father had a lot of books in the home and so when i was about three years old I would take a book and try to read it (so I was told) and was reading by four.
Our children imitate what they see us do. If all we do is sit like lumps on a sofa eating and watching TV we can’t complain when our children don’t find homework and school all that appealing
We have to be proactive in shaping the next generation!
Totally concur again, Trojan Pam….and not an EBook either but a real PAPER book. Reading is my passion and I have always admired wordsmiths such as yourself…to be so creative is a true GIFT.
@ lischelle
Like you, I prefer a book I can hold and touch but I’m glad the eBook came along because there are people reading on phones and Pads and laptops and Kindles, etc that might not pick up a book.
Whatever gets people to reading I’m all for it.
Oh I Concur again TrojanPam, if it gets them to READ use whatever makes them happy since the “hidden message” of the author is usually different for each reader. I still prefer paper because I was forced to move so often, I hated to leave electronics behind but a paper book, those Handkerchief Heads in St. Louis wouldn’t touch it, except to throw it away. I am referring to the people in my age group and their offspring, not the current protestors at Missouri college and in Ferguson…I think it is in the water there.
The same thought process was present in our home. Many of the books, for example, that my father read and had would not be accepted by the larger society (as if we care anyway) which definitely made him a “target” for some.
Again, the apple did not fall far from the tree!

I recently bought the book, “The Destruction of Black Civilization” by Chancellor Williams.
I love to read a book filled with paper myself. I also like to read things electronically as long as the words move me and interest me.
It is very important to show the truth to the black youth. The black youth should learn about health, black history (real black history from African leaders to the black people who made great inventions and social activism), STEM fields, sociology, and other aspects of human endeavors.
Timothy you are SPOT ON accurate, there is a great need for black educators to teach our black offspring about black history. I tried, believe me….after Walking With Giants all my life, my youngest son told me that his friends don’t believe that Malcolm X and Min. Farrakhan often visited my parents home and we still have pics of my family dressed in their N O I uniforms. They should also be taught about greed, ethics and backstabbing KNEEgros as well. You can’t fix stupid, so it is best to avoid them as much as possible.
Following are parts of a conversation with a poster and Sista Pam. The exchange was insightful.
“Also let’s stop lying to ourselves with this issue of black fathers. The study that keeps being referred to relates to fathers who are NOT IN THE HOME with their children. This population tends to be black fathers so it will follow that they spend the most time with their children – under the initial unfortunate counterproductive advent of not being with the children on a daily basis.
We have got to come to grips with the fact that MOST of the children we’re having are not planned. Many of coming from one night stands. Many are coming from two people that don’t know each other. Many brothers are laying with women already on the dole and feigning ignorance as to how they got caught up “in the system”.
We KNOW what the situation is on the ground as far as young people having consistent regular access to their dads. Let’s not play games with ourselves. The lack of father protection is opening our young people up to all types of phuckery, literally – let’s not lie about the absence of fathers .Let’s fix the issue of how were bringing children into this world so that they can at least start of with PAIRents IN THE HOME.
@ LBM:
I agree that the “mixing” of genes creates a WEAKER, more diluted version of the original. And the CONFUSION within the black population is due to the mixing of different natures. It is NOT just about appearance, it’s about the magic of the DNA that contains more than physical properties. We are also spiritual beings and who knows what we are creating in the process?
That is the FOUNDATION of counter-racism and why Mr. Fuller suggests that people NOT follow him, but learn to FOLLOW THE LOGIC for themselves. We don’t need a bunch of sheep who pick a leader, we need INTELLECTUAL WARRIORS who can do battle on their own turf. Even Mr. Fuller says, “….but I could be wrong…”
and that is one of the reasons he is one of the most trusted and respected elders in the counter-racist community.
If anyone person had all the answers, he OR she would have solved this problem. From the time I wrote the first book in 2009 I have discovered I was wrong about a lot of things and so the work continues — on MYSELF.
Regarding black fathers, there are some issues there. The problem is all the fathers get thrown into the same bath water when there is no one stereotype of a black father. Some are great, some are good, some are middling and some are awful or missing in action
Obviously, there is a problem with parenting — period — in our homes due to the pressures of white supremacy but we damn sure won’t solve them jumping into a white person’s bed.
That’s my point.
Definitely food for thought…
@ Phazex_Female
Wow, that’s a list. If someone read something from every category they should get an award
Also with how the media , representing white racist views, maligns and demonizes Africa and blacks in general, I’m pretty sure that affects many peoples self-worth. Not mine, since I’ve learned, however I’m pretty sure many black peoples ill wills toward other blacks is based on that as well.
Alicia, you are spot on with your observations of how women treat each other. I talked to my mother’s other daughter and was trying to explain to her that I have never gotten along with other black women. She seemed surprised and said, “But you’re a woman.”….well, duh, I still don’t understand them and prefer hanging out with men where the pissing contest will be with other men, and not with me.
I always kept a diary, and now I am VERY glad that I did. I am on 2000 now and just read where I had finally LET GO of other black people just because they were black, and that includes my siblings in light of recent events in my family concerning the care of our parents. We really can be our own worst enemies and always blame it on The Man when he couldn’t have gotten close enough to do any damage is you weren’t the one stabbing me in my back all along. It has nothing to do with anyone on this site, but like Theodore said…when dealing with black folks, watch your 6 and don’t assume that black and friend are always synonymous
Truer words have never been spoken. Our lack of unity keeps us vulnerable to haters!
Re: “We really can be our own worst enemies and always blame it on The Man when he couldn’t have gotten close enough to do any damage is you weren’t the one stabbing me in my back all along. “
I’ve had to learn this the hard way! It’s hurtful and sad. Same thing with Asians, Hispanics and others. Can’t really trust them or rely on any sort of kindness from them. As a black woman in corporate america I often wish it were easier to rely on other black women for some sort of kinship. After all, in many cases, we are facing the same awful issue or racism and sexism or should I say “sexualized racism”! It’s weird to me how for many black women, when dealing with racism, decide to turn their anger and frustration out first on another black woman!
I will never understand that. Then again Asian and Hispanics do the same. In dealing with a white supremacist society, turn their hate towards black women first, while holding white women in high esteem.
:…It’s weird to me how for many black women, when dealing with racism, decide to turn their anger and frustration out first on another black woman!…”
I’ve tried to look at it as survival of the fittest, but you are right and those myopic HAINTS have tap-danced on my last nerve, so I try to stay to myself as much as possible.
I’ve also learned to not be so open with whites acting friendly either. Many of them don’t like to hear good things about you or about you getting anything. Their racism comes out at the weirdest times and it’s scary.
“…Many of them don’t like to hear good things about you or about you getting anything…”
Because they are jealous of black people who has more than them, it goes back to the Reconstruction Period after the Civil War, when the slaves were free and were promised 40 Acres and a Mule. IF they got it, some white person got jealous and killed them and took the land and the mule. You should look up the hidden history of the City of Rosewood and Black Wall Street. I never let them get away with saying “blacks are lazy or stupid” since that is clearly NOT the case for my elders or yours either, or we would never have been born. Might apply to the younger, rapping generation though who thinks the world owes them something.
@ Alicia
I agree
I agree. It’s so easy for us to dog each other out because we don’t value ourselves. Many black men don’t value black women and many black women don’t value black men. Same for w/in the sexes. Black men with sick minds easily can kill another black male, black women with sick minds find it easy to attack or insult another black women. I really see the only solution is for us to get our own media. I think the black wealthy like Oprah, etc really need to put their heads together and come up with something. BET, I guess was an attempt. There is OWN, etc. I mean one or more though that we could rely on, just as much as we respect a CNN or ABCSNews. One that would be free of white supremacy.
and also, BINGO in terms of this part: “That means we must respect ourselves enough to STOP INGESTING SO MUCH ENTERTAINMENT POISON and be very selective about the things that we watch (or forego TV altogether, but that probably won’t happen)”. I don’t have kids but I would say it’s extremely important for black parents to get more conscious and teach their kids better.
Years ago back where I lived they would give out the black history month calendars and lists of black businesses in the city and I thought that was VERY important. Many of us don’t know there are millions of black inventors, innovators, successful, wealthy people who have made a great mark on this nation and around the world.
@Alicia
Excellent Words Sister.
@ Timothy
I would like your opinion on this one. Brazilian model Adriana Lima has a black grandparent & consider herself as Afro-Latino. When you look at her she doesn’t have any African ancestry but looks like a white woman. It’s so funny how she states she Afro-Brazilian but never speak out like the other BLACK AFRICAN models about discrimination in the model industry or BLACK AFRICAN issues. She is one of the top models. BLACK AFRICANS need to drop the one drop rule because anyone can kind black just by saying I have a BLACK parent or grandparent.
@Shanequa
Hello Sister.
I believe that the model is saying the words that she has said since she wants to be part of the Afro-Brazilian cultural movement. You know what the saying goes, people want to be like us but they aren’t us. It is obviously that she doesn’t have two black parents. The one drop rule has not only harmed black people in discrimination, etc. It has also caused many non-black people to claim something that they are not. The model Adriana Lima is a person of mixed heritage. She is doesn’t have a black mother or a black father. She has an olive skin complexion. There are many Afro-Brazilians who suffer racism and discrimination including black Afro-Brazilian models. She or Lima doesn’t speak out against the racist system that oppresses black people and people of color alike. We know how colorism is found in Brazil and especially in America. So, this story should make us all to research more about our Afro-Brazilian Brothers and Sisters. Many of our Afro-Brazilians Brothers and Sisters live in ghettos called favelas. Many Afro-Brazilians experience police brutality and other forms of hate. That is why Brazil has an affirmative action program. There are Afro-Brazilian blogs with great research like Black Women of Brazil. Afro-Brazilian Sisters are very intelligent and heroic like Sister Benedita da Silva, who is one of the greatest civil rights leaders of the Americas. The conscious movement in Brazil is called Movimento Negro (or the Black Movement).
Thank you for your commentaries Sister.
@ Timothy thanks for your reply.
What happened to the book umoja was going to do about “dark girls”?
@ Jazz
My book, “The Beauty Con Game” is my book about the beauty of brown and dark skinned men and women
http://racismws.com/the-beauty-con-game/
Hey there! I have that one already, but I could have sworn, I saw one with a darker toned girl on the front, and that one was coming soon.
the cover you saw was just a sample of what the book might look like
@ ALL
Another thing I’ve noticed over the years is the white supremacist movie/TV industry will cast an ordinary and sometimes unattractive white female in a role and have her described as “beautiful.”
for example, in the TV show ‘Damages, there was a young white female actress (named Ellen) who most of the men on the show found irresistibly beautiful (?) and I would shake my head and think — what the heck? Are they kidding me?
she was so skinny she looked like a concentration camp survivor, and was so pale she looked like a corpse — and I’m not exaggerating.
I’ve seen this happen a lot over the last several years…
What I believe is behind all this chicanery is even the ordinary white female is being promoted as beautiful to REINFORCE THE LIE that the white female–no matter WHAT she looks like–is always the most sexually attractive woman in the room (or TV/movie screen).
whereas the black or non-white female has to be drop dead GORGEOUS (look white) to be considered even marginally “attractive”
This KEEPS the white female safe from REAL COMPETITION from black and non-white females who could EASILY challenge and UNSEAT her from her white supremacy throne
and keeps the white-validating-seeking non-white/black male ‘on the white supremacy hook’
by BRAINWASHING him into believing that the white female is superior to the women in his group
and blinds him to the actual beauty of his own women.
which is one of the reasons you see so many black/non-white males with the most ordinary and often unattractive white females
he doesn’t see what is there, he sees what he has been PROGRAMMED TO SEE
And none of this would be necessary IF the white female was truly superior in looks but it is obvious that even the white supremacists don’t believe their own hype
HENCE the need for MORE PROPAGANDA
So true.Their most average cave Becky like this Shailene Woodley or Jennifer Lawrence (I’ve seen more beautiful black women) are put on pedestals.And they need to be taken down. And I’ve began to expect it from them.
But I’ll have nothing to do with a BM who steps outside of his race and then brings in the lowest grade Becky’s as if they were a step up. That not even their WM would touch them with a 10 ft pole.*face palm*. And speak derogatorily against women of his race as if he got a “prize”. I have male ex-cousins (ex because I’m tired of their stupidity) who did that nonsense.And they had the audacity to say they don’t date or will never date black women cause they’re ugly.
And they have black mommas, who by the way are just as useless.If my son said that crap.I would try to push him back up and rebirth him because I will not be raising a coon.Nor go into painful labor for days, near death to have him even think to let those word escape from his mouth much less his mind.Hence I don’t have children cause I don’t want to go to jail.
@ Trojan Pam
“Another thing I’ve noticed over the years is the white supremacist movie/TV industry will cast an ordinary and sometimes unattractive white female in a role and have her described as “beautiful.”
I have seen this a lot on television shows & movies especially when they are using a black male character for a scene in a relationship with a non black woman. Here are some examples of television shows & movies that put unattractive or below average non black women with black men: Power, My Family Wedding, Hitch, This Christmas, Save the Last Dance & there are several others but just to name a few. In the movie “Save the last dance” the white female character they had the black male character in a relationship with was unattractive but the black & biracial females that were in the movie looked ten times better then her. Furthermore television does a lot of propaganda toward the mind especially when black women watch these type of shows & movies with attractive black males dating unattractive non black females. You & I both have heard this statement by black women & men that the black male will accepted an unattractive reject from other races that their men don’t work. What we’re seeing is that fantasy has now become reality with these situations.
Also I notice when its a interracial relationship with black women on television shows & movies they make sure the non black male characters have the attractive black or biracial females. Here’s another example the television show “How to get away with murder” with the two black law students one is a dark skin black female the other a male. The attractive black female end up having a short relationship with a non black male, while the black male was in a relationship with a unattractive non black female.
@ Shanequa
I’ve seen that also
But I do want t make one thing clear. I am not saying white females are not attractive or beautiful. We must be truthful here. Yes, there are many beautiful and/or attractive women of EVERY group, what I’m saying is the white supremacist system MANIPULATES AND LIES about that beauty and attempts to FALSIFY it by making white the reference point
when in FACT, over 90 percent of the women on this planet are NOT white — so how could “whiteness” be the standard??
I think we should refrain from name-calling because it LOWERS the quality of our conversation. We do not want to stoop to the ignorance that has been show to us by other groups
Also, I want black females to LOOK at our behavior, what we support, what types of images we idolize because without us oohing and ahhing over “The Roc” and other non-white males that wouldn’t give us a second look
in essence, we’re saying they’re right, that we are inferior
STOP SUPPORTING PEOPLE, PLACES AND THINGS THAT DO NOT SUPPORT YOU
STOP WATCHING TV SHOWS THAT RIDICULE AND DEGRADE US (like “Big Momma’s House” and “Norbit” and Tyler Perry BUFFOONERY sitcoms and any male or female entertainer that promotes white supremacy via their public statements, their choice of a spouse, and the type of images they allow themselves to profit from
WE ARE THE MAIN PURCHASERS AND SUPPORTERS OF SO-CALLED ‘BLACK’ ENTERTAINMENT
when are we going to start taking ourselves AND our dignity seriously?
If we don’t, who will?
I rather enjoy the movies made by Tyler Perry, not his sitcoms necessarily as I just view them as comic relief in a lot of cases. There is also some questioning the sexuality of black men that dress in womens clothes for a role, but never question a white man doing the same thing. I think we need to lighten up a little and focus our efforts on ridding ourselves of the intentional degradation implied in reality shows and weekly drama series like Empire and Blackish which I have never seen. I agree that we need to take our image on T V more seriously, but I prefer to pick my battles rather than saying NO BLACK TV at all. Holly Weird comes up with some winners on occasion, like “Amistad” and even “Se7en”, but they don’t have much material to work with beyond maids, butlers and slaves so lets see what/how they do when Obama leaves office.
@ Lischelle:
Good ;point. I did not see this movie, but I do recall the box office reviews from the newspaper. “Mrs. Doubt Fire” (or something like that). The late comic/actor Robin Williams was “allowed” to play the role of a woman, then returned to his traditional role as a male but when black actors do it? There is always a lot of controversy surrounding this. “I’ll let you tell it.”
Yes, I agree that as black people, we should take our ourselves and our roles as actors more responsibly and seriously.
“…Yes, I agree that as black people, we should take our ourselves and our roles as actors more responsibly and seriously.”
Exactly Phazex,
we must remember that we are talking about HollyWeird where they can turn fantasy into reality, at least for an hour or two. Also, a lot of the COMEDY out there is just that….it is designed to make you laugh. I haven’t seen a movie by Tyler Perry that I haven’t enjoyed, not his sitcoms though BUT, I don’t watch white sitcoms either because I don’t watch much comedy on TV anyway. But I have to hand it to him, he employs more blacks than anyone else and he pays them well. I have no complaints with the man, and others that do should examine their own motives IMO. I mean, why are some holding black actors to a higher standard than white actors, when they have absolutely no control over the storyline, who is hired and fired or the finish product? I do now that some, or maybe even most of the crap that comes out of HollyWeird is going to be negatively biased towards black people anyway, it is a given considering who is running the place. Their opinions don’t matter, at least not to me, but it is their PORTRAYAL of blacks that we can’t seem to get around. We’re usually portrayed as gang members or criminals, but they’ll show 3 or more white boys together and they are called a GROUP of kids.
You know what I’m hearing that young black women are idolizing Marilyn Monroe now…
Why not glamorous Lena Horne or Dorothy Dandridge?
@ Alicia
I didn’t hear about that
I really hate to even think about that but when I look at all the blonde hair black females are wearing I can almost believe it just might be true (for some)
I so agree with this! I have never found THE ROCK appealing at all period. Nor Vin Diesal. He just doesn’t appeal to me. I don’t care who he dates, I just don’t get it when people say either one of them are attractive or appealing in any way. Have never been interested in any of the movies they were in.
That is odd, because both are ripped and gorgeous to me…but so is Denzel and Will Smith
@ Alicia
I don’t find them appealing either but I always draw the line–regardless of looks — of ANY black male who does not date black females.
If I’m not acceptable ONLY because I’m not white
then you won’t get ONE DAMN DIME of my money or my support in any form whatsoever
@ Sister Trojan Pam and Sister Shanequa:
Good points!
Here is a video that reiterates what you are saying about **ratchet** behavior in our community:
Warning — this video contains a lot of profanity. I would like some feedback. Thanks! Oh, and enjoy the video! 😀
Excellent video, filled with Straight Talk and I love the way he signed off, because he wasn’t being too harsh at all. Thanks Courtney!! He said everything that I’ve been trying to say for years, and not just on this thread either.
Had to send this one to my own timeline
@ Lischelle:
Thank you! I am glad that you enjoyed the video! I agree with what Harvey said, too! 🙂
@ Courtney H
I will watch the video & reply back.
@ Sister Shanequa:
Thank you!
@ Courtney H
Harvey made great points in the video especially when the women lay up & have children with no good men especially with the one’s that have mutiple babymama’s. What is happening in our communities is that we have a bastardize version on polygamy. Yes, we black men & women have suffer for the downfall with the ratchet behaviors of other black men & women. Here is a comment I left on Kushite Prince post that deals with the same topic.
“If she is an ignorant ghetto acting woman…..that’s what she will attract. Like attracts like. If the women act like whores and hoodrats..they will attracts useless thugs. It’s a two way street. That’s what I mean by sistas stepping up their game. You can’t complain about not finding a decent man when you don’t act like a decent woman.”
The ghetto mentality in our communities has become acceptable among our black men & women which are raising future generations in this cycle. You’re right black women do need to step their game up when learning to choose decent black men but if the black women whose doing the choosing has a ghetto mentality that’s the best she can do. The object of the game is to change the black woman’s behavior.
Director Spike Lee has a new movie coming out name Chiraq which has black women withholding sex until black men get it together to stop the violence in the community.
One thing that has to be reenforce is setting up better positive examples of what black womanhood is all about in our communities by setting up programs. The class that we need to target the most is the underprivilege black women & girls in our communities. This class is the one that should be our main target because these sisters are considered the rejects in our communities. One thing while doing research on our black leaders from Marcus Garvey, Ida B. Wells, Malcolm X and etc there target was misguided black people as the main focus while doing work in the communities & being role models. We need to be seen in action working with our sisters to let them know we are out their in the communties who cares.
Furthermore with programs & classes helping us out can eliminate this ghetto mentality among the women in our communities. We need to tell our misguided sisters that you are value in a society among your people. We need a each one teach one mind set even though we will have some of our people not be save. When the self esteem of black women has improved the choices of them selecting black men will be better as well.
When I mention about the Spike Lee movie Chiraq black women need to stop procreating & selecting useless black males especially the ones harming the communities. These useless black males depend on these black women for sex, food, shelter, money, & etc once these black women stop providing this for them they will have no other choice but to change into real black men. Our misguided sisters are making misguided decisions that lead them to destruction to themselves & communities.
@ Sister Shanequa:
Thank you for watching the video and commenting. I agree with everything that you said.
Change begins with ourselves. I agree with you 100% that when people (of either gender) are low-class, they will attract low-class people. That is why most Black parents tell their children to stay away from **bad kids** who make Black people look bad and can get you into trouble. Whom we associate with has a lot to do with how we before. Why do you think that Black children are always being told to stay away from **bad influences**?
I have watched the trailer for **Chiraq**, too. It looks like it is going to be a good movie. I really like Spike Lee movies. He is one of my favorite directors.
I agree that we do have to show the girls and women that they are valued. Our church is involved in outreach programs, and so are a lot of other organizations in the Black community.
Here is a video about Black women and their relationships with Black men, and how women are influenced by men:
@Sister Courtney
Preach Sister.
I agree with you.
LMFAOO@” Here’s another example the television show “How to get away with murder” with the two black law students one is a dark skin black female the other a male. The attractive black female end up having a short relationship with a non black male, while the black male was in a relationship with a unattractive non black female.”
How ridiculous and predictable can they get? Many White men and other white supremacists want black women to be single ( and maligned). I wonder what their desire is to do with us if we were more so single than coupled up?I know they want to down us and malign us, I wonder what else? There’s a lot of preoccupation with black women among white supremacists that it’s creepy!
“…There’s a lot of preoccupation with black women among white supremacists that it’s creepy!”
Alicia, many white men are focused on the black “hereditary hump” many black people have… your derriere my dear. Rappers sing about it and many ratchet head females dress in a way that accentuates their behind to attract black guys, but some white guys are fully into sodomy so they should be careful how they dress, especially in public. This isn’t the 17 or 18th Century where they could just take whatever and whomever they wanted and DO whatever they wanted as well. Did you know that they had a black woman with a huge butt stuffed and put on display in London? She was there for years until the government ordered her remains sent to Australia or New Zealand for a proper burial.
I believe her name was Sarah Baartman.
I’ll have to take your word for it Courtney, I certainly don’t remember and have to try and keep up with all the murders done by the kkkops of un-armed black people in this country…but thanks
You’received welcome, and I hear you.
@Sister Courtney
You’re right Sister.
Sarah Baartman was a beautiful black women, who was mistreated and exploited by white racists. She was a victim of racism, sexism, and colonialism.
Her mistreatment was unjustified, evil, and it showed the jealousy that white racists have of black people. She was from South Africa and her story should be remembered. Thank you Sister for showing the story about Sarah Baartman.
@Trojan Pam
Excellent Points.
Thank you for the compliment, Brother Timothy! I greatly appreciate it! 😉
You’re Welcome Sister Courtney. 🙂
I appreciate your wisdom.
I also forgot to mention have y’all all notice that a lot of the movies are flopping at box office especially when the majority of the cast are Europeans. I think we are at a time now that Europeans have run out of creative ideas and people are tired of seeing them on television. Furthermore the film industry is struggling big time but don’t be surprise if you see more black movies being release at the theaters. The reason why you saw a lot of black exploitation films in the 1970’s was because the film industry were struggling and they pimp the black community to keep it flowing. History is repeating itself again.
@ Shanequa
Interesting point! I’ve never considered that
are black audiences being used to prop up a racist entertainment/movie system?
I wouldn’t be surprised
and we should IMMEDIATELY stop our reckless support of it
I don’t care anything about some black entertainers “getting paid” if they are being paid to degrade us
let them go get a REAL JOB like the rest of us

I hope that this link works so ya’ll can see what Taye Diggs thinks of his own black flesh…smh
Lischelle:
Here is a video about Taye Diggs and his self-hatred:
And here is another one about him:
Warning — these videos contain a lot of profanity. Enjoy! 😀
@Sister Courtney
I have listened to both videos. He is right that we have to study culture and respect our Blackness. A lot of actions that people use today from martial arts to various foods originated from Africa. There is a problem where many black people have self hatred and internalize that self hatred to deny their natural born Blackness. This is a serious problem that we have to address. Many people use the term “biracial” to sugarcoat or whitewashed the essence of Blackness. I don’t agree with Taye Diggs’ self hatred. People know that the President is treated as a black man by this racist society regardless of the ethnicity of his mother. Also, self hatred is found in black people of numerous hues not just dark skinned people. Dark skinned black people should never be made the scapegoats of the system of racism/white supremacy. Many black people intentionally marry non-black people and have kids by them in order for them to eliminate a lot of their black characteristics for their future descendants. That’s a fact. Taye Diggs is the same one that falsely blamed black women for his TV show being canceled years ago. I don’t agree with Harvey that Kim Kardashian is not white. Kim Kardashian is white. She is Armenian. Armenians speak an Indo-European language and they have genetic ties to Caucasians and Europeans. They’re white.
Also, Jennifer Lopez is Hispanic. She is not black, but she isn’t totally white either. Hispanics are diverse made up of Native American, European, and black African heritage. There are black Afro-Latinos too. Taye Diggs’ son will be treated as a black child without question. I disagree with the New Blacks’ mentalities and ideologies. Taye Diggs has a vibe that he wouldn’t marry a black woman. Harvey gave important, excellent information on this issue. Black people should never be ashamed of who they are. I don’t agree with Wendy Williams on many issues, but when even Wendy Williams is criticizing Diggs, then you know something is wrong in this society. We have to accept who we are. We are never inferior to anyone on this Earth. I have known black Phds, teachers, scholars, lawyers, etc. who made great contributions in the world. This is part and parcel of mental liberation.
Thank you for showing the videos Sister Courtney. They are certainly edifying.
@ Brother Timothy:
Thank you, and you are welcome. I am glad that you enjoyed the videos. Harvey was mostly on target! 🙂
@Sister Courtney
You’re Welcome Sister. 🙂
I’m starting to listen to the other video by Harvey too (about “ratchet” behavior). He’s right that paternity tests should be one in private not be exploited in shows like Maury. I view Maury worse than Jerry Springer. Jerry Springer admits that his stuff is fake while Maury does the wild shows and then mixes it with charity specials. Both shows are from the same rotten tree. There should be investment, integrity, and character promoted in our community. We have to promote the community tradition of solidarity and a communal spirit. Not every one will wake up. Likewise, those who want to wake up should have the opportunity to wake up.
Hey Timothy and Alicia, I just posted this to a white FB friend about welcoming Syrian refugees to the USA…
“…BTW, we are not responsible for the sins of our ancestors. What a mindless concept”
Yet you still benefit from your ancestors “sins”…what arrogance. As for Indians from Siberia…is that a new MYTH you are trying to perpetuate?
I guess we can forget about looking for reparations from this country…smh
@Brother Timotht:
Regarding Harvey’S video about “ratchet” behavior, I agree with your comments.
Taye Diggs, needs his arse kicked. This poor excuse for a black man is another “classic” self-hating knee-gro whose biggest fear is that physically, his son WILL be looked upon as BLACK. However, his son will be socialized in white culturalisms –bet on it. And once again, another dollar that will NOT flow into the black community. Another mixed nutt that will lean towards the white power structure.
Taye Diggs is not the only knee-gro who does this…..Lionel Ritchie….Diana Ross….the late Donna Summer….and the list goes on and on and on.
The bigger question begs, while you are cultivating the field of another, WHO is cultivating YOURS?
Granted, all of us will not be saved. But individuals like this? “Should be thinned from the herd.”
Phazex_Female
@Phazex Female
Amen Sister.
You’re right.
@ Phazex_Female:
Amen!
@Sister Courtney
Have a Great Day Sister. 🙂
I’m about to leave.
Bless you and your Family.
You always inspire me with your words about black consciousness.
Something about Taye Diggs always screamed self hatred.They need to speak out and show themselves so we know “them”.By “them” I mean the self race hating coons.Cause we don’t need them.
I agree.
I agree with you on this. Our race has far, far too many self-hating black people and really do NOT help in the black race’s liberation. I need to state nothing more. “They know who they are.” smh…

Phazex, I found this article about the actors on the old TV sitcom “Good Times”, the actors had little or no controls over the writers and producers.
“…8) In her indignation over JJ’s role, Esther said: “He’s eighteen and he doesn’t work. He can’t read or write. He doesn’t think. The show didn’t start out to be that…Little by little—with the help of the artist, I suppose, because they couldn’t do that to me—they have made J.J. more stupid and enlarged the role. Negative images have been slipped in on us through the character of the oldest child.”
9) When John Amos left the show after failed contract negotiations, he said this about JJ’s character: “The writers would prefer to put a chicken hat on J.J. and have him prance around saying “DY-NO-MITE”, and that way they could waste a few minutes and not have to write meaningful dialogue.”
10) Esther Rolle was convinced to come back during the last season under three conditions: They would write out the character that she ran off and married after James’ death (since she didn’t think Florida would move on so quickly), they would give her a raise in salary, and JJ would have more respectable, intelligent roll. Oddly enough, that’s when the show started to tank in the ratings.
Come on people, we’ve got to do better….”
@ Courtney H.
I’ll check it out but I dread watching it
I have NOTHING for the vast majority of black entertainers. Most are a hopeless cause because they’re in a cult, brainwashed, brain-trashed, compromised, and are hired to work against black people.
I care NOT what any of them thinks or does AND I would suggest ALL black people do the same.
Yes, they are victims but they are TOXIC to other black victims and should be MINIMIZED IN IMPORTANCE
@ Shanequa:
Blaxploitation films have been replaced by “hood movies”.
Yeah, we only have “hood movies” because we aren’t allowed to TRAVEL. That is mainly due to poverty, but I have noticed that those brothers and sisters that join the military and travel outside of their myopic hood have a much broader sense of SELF, community and family as well. While the movie “Boyz in the Hood” held a good point on black people NOT joining the military, the discipline provided there appears to do them some good. They are much more pleasant to be around, than the typical hood rat that never leaves their own city.
@Trojan Pam
In regard to your statement “And if I encounter another black BITCH who feels good about herself, I will make sure I bring her down…”
I have personally experienced this and for some reason in the last 5 to 10 years, I have seen an increase in this mindset. I am sure this is caused by a combination of problems because of our deteriorating state of mind. Knowing all of this does not keep me from being disappointed in this self-loathing behavior coming from other blacks. However, I still do not let it discourage me because I know that I am not the problem and I know who and what is behind all of this. Still, it is hard to believe someone from the same race/gender/culture hates me simply because I exist. I really get a lot of criticism because I wear my hair natural also. We make a statement when we go natural because this tells the world we are content with the way God made us and do not have to copy anybody else’s beauty standards. The white supremacists and their cohorts don’t like that at all because we are going against the grain.
You are so correct when you say “many of us distort our natural beauty with hairstyles and colors that absolutely DO NOT FLATTER us…” It is definitely not flattering and what I see is a holy mess piled on top of some of the sisters’ heads, not to mention how it makes them look so much older than they really are.
Anyway, I want to thank you for your untiring effort to educate us about the many ways that the white supremacy system is working overtime to keep our minds in captivity.
@ Sharon53
The attitudes are getting worse due to our relentless worship of white supremacist entertainment, as well as other factors, like economic stresses, health issues, poor diets, lack of a healthy environment, stressful relationships or lack of a healthy relationship
we have a choice, either we give in and continue to mistreat each other, or we shake off the programming to the best of our ability
AND BE KINDER TO OTHER BLACK PEOPLE
And if we can’t do that, then we shouldn’t UTTER A SINGLE COMPLAINT when the white supremacists finally move against us and there is no black support out there anywhere
“…AND BE KINDER TO OTHER BLACK PEOPLE
And if we can’t do that, then we shouldn’t UTTER A SINGLE COMPLAINT when the white supremacists finally move against us and there is no black support out there anywhere”
TOTALLY concur TrojanPam. Younger black people appear to have been totally assimilated into the dominant culture and they know they will get a smaller sentence as long as they only attack another black person. Also, they appear to always be in attack mode for the slightest offense or no offense at all!! Recently, a teen female was shot in the head and killed in Memphis and her “crime” was merely saying “Hi” to a young brother walking down the street….smh.
Honestly, I wonder if the mind-set of many “younger” people has to do with the fact that OVER 70% of households are now headed by the black female? And the “rachet” behaviors are only replicating?
No judgment, however it is an observation. Discuss.
I’ve got the perfect reply to that Phazex_Female, that is if the link works….

Hmmm…I know it’s not archeological in nature, but it is food for thought…Why DO we do this?
I believe that it was INTEGRATION that sealed our doom….blacks that could afford to leave the ghetto fled to white communitys in spite of the threats and white flight the moment they moved in. The red-lining of white neighborhoods so their property values wouldn’t go down; black teachers, doctors, even dock workers that had a job left the inner city, jobs moved to the suburbs, buses stopped going to the suburbs so even if black people DID get a job, they had no way to get there and the kkkops were notorious for arresting black people caught in the wrong neighborhood after dark; drugs began to flourish even though we don’t own a poppy field or even a garden plot of marijuana because few of us owned a house, we lived in the PROJECTS; finally, banks wouldn’t loan to black people UNLESS it was a car loan, which they could easily repossess, then Corporate America sent manufacturing jobs overseas, which effectively screwed their own people, but they still blamed it on us and called it REVERSE discrimination when they didn’t get hired or get a scholarship. We can’t win for losing.
Yep, that pretty much sums it up. A neighbor and I were recently discussing “gentrification” and my neighbor shared with me that his mother and a few sibs that live in the inner city have been displaced from their apartment because of continual increases in the rent.
Also, my neighbor shared with me that “whites are returning to his mother’s neighborhood–the very same neighborhood that whites vacated over 20 years ago when blacks began moving in. Interestingly enough, the neighborhood has undergone a “face-lift” and while it was deluged with black folks, literally NOHING was being done from the standpoint of renovations, etc.
I called it for what it is: “racism.” smdh…
Yes ma’am, they are some of the most duplicitous people on the planet and now they are pulling that same hateful B S on Syrian refugees….white man with a jalabi!
I just read about this black folks claiming to be Native American now IF they have high cheekbones and straight black hair. but have one black parent:
“I HAD MY DNA TESTED…FOUND OUT MY ROOTS ARE FROM ETHIOPIA, SIERRA LEONE, SOUTH AMERICA, EUROPE (ENGLAND) AND I HAVE CATAWBA AND CHEROKEE (NATIVE AMERICAN) DNA. SINCE I CAN’T GO TO AFRICA AT THIS TIME, I TRIED TO TRACE MY NATIVE AMERICAN ROOTS THROUGH NAMES MY MOM REMEMBERED (SHE WAS ACTUALLY BORN ON THE CHEROKEE RESERVATION) HER FATHER WAS FULL BLOOD NATIVE AMERICAN (PART CATAWBA AND PART CHEROKEE). NEVER HEARD OF THE CATAWBA’S UNTIL I DID RESEARCH. THE NATIVE AMERICANS TOTALLY REBUFFED ME. I AM VERY ANGRY WITH NATIVE AMERICANS AND THE WAY THEY TREAT PEOPLE OF COLOR WHO DO HAVE NATIVE AMERICAN ANCESTRY. SO, I DON’T CLAIM THEM ANYMORE ALTHOUGH I HAVE THEIR DNA…I’LL STICK WITH SAYING I AM OVER 50% AFRICAN…AND PROUD!”
They have become just a white man with a teepee!!
“Honestly, I wonder if the mind-set of many “younger” people has to do with the fact that OVER 70% of households are now headed by the black female? And the “rachet” behaviors are only replicating?…
Yeah, but only because baby mama is being raised by a ratchet and they are both still in “party mode” and in direct competition with the available B M population that still exists, even the ones that are on the D L, because we all know that a homosexual B M does not exist. There is also the Prison Industrial Complex we need to protect our sons, now even our daughters from as best we can. I strongly suggest that the next time there is a call to buy your weapons from the church OR the kkkops, you act like you never got the memo and take you and your offspring to the shooting range, white folks are stocking up on guns AND ammo for ROHAWA especially after Obama was elected TWICE….they want their country back!!
I recall reading, many years ago, about the millions of “guyment” dollars paid out to the Indians for the atrocities that they suffered, the trail of tears, etc. Coinciding with this, were several black persons whose ancestry was part Seminole Indian. These individuals sought monetary damages as others did. I followed this story for awhile, but lost sight of the outcome However, the Chief Scribes demanded that these individuals “prove” ancestry by producing tribal papers. That was the problem. Many had ancestry, but no paper-work. “Do the math here.” 😦
Does anyone know about this and/or have any updates to share here please. Thank you.
Phazex_Female
That IS the end of it Phazex, all of the Five Nations want written proof from blacks but not whites who claim ancestry. I think it had something to do with the tribes wanting to start a casino on tribal lands at that time….no “black folks” there of course so no money was forthcoming. But there are still blacks claiming ancestry and getting into groups to say that they were already here when Columbus arrived, and that most A As don’t have African in them at all. I just let them talk now, no need to waste my time arguing or debating the point anymore.
Reblogged this on Tired Sista and commented:
It is impossible to ignore the absence of Black Women in te-LIE-vision, film, and commercials. Contrary, to what many people want to believe IT IS NOT A COINCIDENCE and it’s all by design. The Black Woman’s Triple burden rears its ugly head again: racism White Supremacy, Misogynoir, and colorism.
That’s exactly what it is: “te-LIE-vision”!
@TiredSista.
People call TV te-lie-vision for a good reason. It shows propaganda 24/7. Commercials and shows readily bash black women, black men, and black children constantly.
I certainly agree with you. The job of these racists is to not only promote dysfunction, but to eliminate the black power base in the world. I have been studying about the recent events in Paris. While the media has shown non stop coverage about the events in Paris, they show very little coverage of the deaths of black people being murdered by terrorists in Africa. More people of color have died as a product of terrorists in this century than Europeans. The terrorist attacks in Paris should be equally condemned as the terrorist attacks in Africa and in the Middle East. Black women do suffer the triple evils of white supremacy, misogynoir, and colorism. All of these evils originate from the system of racism/white supremacy. We have to educate especially the youth about these issues as a way to tell them what they are up against. This is a real war for survival and liberation.
Timothy, you have a point about the terrorism in Africa not being televised, but that propaganda is two pronged methinks. If you are referring to Boko Haram, then they are a Christian terror group if I’m not mistaken and who is interested in seeing, hearing about blacks killing, raping, maiming other blacks around the world? You can see that on local news at 5 and 10
@lischelle
The mainstream media (in the States) shows very less coverage of terrorism in Africa as compared to terrorism in Europe and in the Middle East. Boko Haram is a group that claims to represents Islam not Christianity. Me personally, I believe that Boko Haram is an extremist group that uses Islam as an way for them to promote their evil. I don’t believe that Boko Haram is representative of all people in Islam like I don’t believe that Stalin is representative of all atheists as Stalin was an atheist. There is a double standard where the corporate media treats black people as less than human than white people. That’s a fact. Also, intraracial violence is wrong, organizations exist that are fighting against black on black crime (which isn’t reported by the media a lot. Tons of progressive people are interested in seeing black on black violence to end), and we have to continue to fight. Continued social activism and strategies are needed in order for us to get into the system of justice as black people.
You’re right Timothy….about all of it, I am aware of the propaganda TV and tried to inform my sons about that B S as well. As for media portrayal, we are losing ALL black media outlets so something has to change there as well. As for Boko Haram, right again….I was thinking of another terror group where the government WAS going to send in troops, but believe or not BLACK PEOPLE said no, because of the history of military involvement in black nations. I don’t know what the best course of action is, but doing nothing AND complaining about terrorism is useless to my mind….black, white or Jap-Talian victims doesn’t matter to me, but if they are going to do nothing then send my son home. Let the Saudis handle that hot mess.
@lischelle
You’re right that we need to develop more of our own independent media services.
I was kind of hoping that you or TrojanPam could start an online media outlet source since you both are AWARE and very articulate, but you two might not have the time or finances of course. We have GOT to find a way of informing young people of this mess in Holly Weird, or we are in danger of getting that racist Trump or that equally stupid Ben Carson in the Oval Office.
@lischelle
There is nothing wrong with having an outline media situation.
Trojan Pam has online media discussion. It’s found here in this website too. Certainly, young black people do need to get the message of the truth. I speak with a Southern accent. LOL. I’m half country and I’m half urban.
Good to know Timothy….thanks.
I really don’t get why you want the white media to focus more on negative incidences in Africa. That’s not a question, just a statement and I’ll leave it at that.
@Alicia.
I don’t want the white media to focus more on negative incidences in Africa. I do want black people to have a greater opportunity to witness a fair picture of Africa. Also, I exposed the double standards of how the corporate media shows more respect for whites lives than black lives. The solution does deal with us forming more unity and rejecting any tactics from white supremacists. This is my statement too.
Alicia, all he is saying is that the media is SUPPOSED to be un-biased in reporting and selecting what to report on around the world. Terror attacks get more mention if it involves white victims, while downplaying or not even covering attacks against black people…the Caribbean nations don’t get much coverage either unless some natural disaster takes place. Even then it is usually how some weather event effects white landowners mainly. I was living in a shelter when Hurricane Katrina hit, and one of the kids at the shelter asked what country was this happening in because the black people in New Orleans got almost no help at all.
Wow….but I can believe this. I recall, during the unfolding of events of Hurricane Katrina, a SISTER who was wrapped in an Amerikkan flag to shelter her from the elements stated, “I am NOT a refugee. I am an Amerikkan.” That image stayed with me for a long while.
And when other countries offered their assistance? Bush moreorless brushed them OFF. Smh….
“…And when other countries offered their assistance? Bush moreorless brushed them OFF. Smh….”
Yeah, I’ll never forget it either. Just got an email to sign a petition from Freedom, Inc at MoveOn.Org. I WAS going to sign it until I read the whole thing….they want to petition the U N to send troops to the USA to police black neighborhoods…smh. Can you imagine the chaos and killings that would occur in the ghetto if a foreigner was to patrol? Kneegros can barely speak proper American English, now they will have to learn another language too? They won’t even learn Spanish…smh. It will never happen anyway, this country will not allow another military presence into the country anyway.
Agreed. I’m Black female and overseas and my thought on this is we do not need white America’s or its media’s validation worth a damn. Please for God’s sake let them continue to pretend Africa doesn’t exist because Russia and China sure know it does. To see news about Boko Haram, unplug from America TV and go read overseas news sites operated by non-US and non-European media! Ghana, Gambia, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, all African nations have TV stations, news and news websites. Google is your friend! Get on it! China reports on Africa constantly and it’s eye opening seeing actual news and not that malevolent “Tarzan” bs
Tasha and ALL,
found the following gem on the continuing “whitewashing” going on in HollyWierd that the black author sued to get his name removed!!
“…
That studio is Lionsgate. The film is Daughter of God. And the accusation is whitewashing.
An indie drama by a Jamaican-American first-time director, Gee Malik Linton, Daughter of God was supposed to be a quiet, surreal story about a Latina woman and the Dominican family she lives with, featuring subplots about violence against women and the twin effects of mass incarceration and police brutality on black and Latino communities. But now, because of drastic changes in the film’s edit, Daughter of God has become Exposed, a generic, middling thriller debuting this January and starring Reeves. Large subplots involving Latino and black characters have been cut, and the trailer features predominantly white faces….”
@lischelle
Thank you for the information Sister.
It is common for unHolyweird to whitewash stories made by black people. It is truly disturbing. That is why it is important to show real black history from Africa to the Americas. It is truly evil for the industry to disrespect black creativity in this fashion. That is why there are many black people setting up their own film companies in this generation.
“…It is truly evil for the industry to disrespect black creativity in this fashion. That is why there are many black people setting up their own film companies in this generation.”
Yes sir, I totally concur although some still have complaints about them doing so like Spike Lee and his new movie “Chiraq”. Heck, I was always referring to my hood as “Little Viet Nam” because of all the shootings. There was a set of blood brothers producing ‘hood setting movies which I think some of the kids were using as educational videos rather than entertainment. And I still love all of the Tyler Perry movies rather than his T V series, but that is just me.
I agree brotha. The white supremacist are always on the job and we must be on ours.
@ TiredSista
Thanks for reblogging it. I hope our efforts result in more people talking about this — and being more selective about what we watch.
There is NO SUCH ANIMAL as watching just a little degradation
just like you can’t ingest a little poison and not believe you aren’t slowly killing yourself.
Why do we think it’s on TV in the first place?
I co-sign 100% with all you’ve said. Welcome, I’m always willing to spread the good word. Come and check out my blog sometimes.
I work in a Sandals resort, in the entertainment department, and part of my job is to organize and participate in activities with the guests, so this week we had an interracial couple (Black Man/White Woman) and when we were playing pool volley ball, this negro, to every chance they get in between games, they start making out, like if I or someone hits the ball out of the pool, and someone has to go retrieve it, these two start making out intensely or if they’re simply standing talking to someone, he’s always turning and kissing her. Like, seriously? And when he’s diving in the pool he has her riding on his back like he’s some damn turtle and then making out with her underwater. Every minute, every chance they get.. it just sicks my stomach to see, luckily there was a black couple there who was more intense than them.
Warrior,
are you saying that the black couple was making out as well in public? If so, then we have surely become assimilated trying to outdo white folks nastiness…smh
not really making out, but it was very evident he loved this woman, I mean when he was with this sista, he was grinning from ear to ear
Alright, thanks for clarifying….I didn’t want to think that we had lost every shred of decency as a people.
oh heavens…. no
@nidotopianwarrior
Regarding your comments about the interracial couple making out, I notice this behavior quite a bit with BM/WW couples in public, especially when a lot of black women are present. At first I thought maybe I was just imagining it but it has happened enough for me to know this is deliberate and mostly deceptive. I have seen this mostly in restaurants or fast-food places or places where there is a cashier like a grocery store where a black woman or several black women are having to serve customers. It is usually the black man kissing all over the white woman. She is usually unresponsive and just standing there like a robot. It is disgusting to say the least because the brothers are all over those women, stroking and kissing them. It is obvious she is control of him. If this was real, they would not have put on a public display and would be somewhere else minding their own business. When one has to flaunt anything, whether it is a relationship or anything, it is clear, there is some insecurity somewhere. I bet they fight like cats and dogs once they get home. The sisters serving these people have to be polite because they are still dealing with customers but I do wonder sometimes about the sisters. There seems to be a sense of apathy among black women being dissed like this.
I saw a really embarrassing situation one day when a BM/WW couple came in a restaurant. They put them in the booth across from me. The BM attempted to sit in the seat in the booth facing her. She made him sit next to her. This is no putdown of obese people but they both were too large to sit in the same side of that booth. It was clear he was embarrassed being bossed around like that. It stood out like a sore thumb with anyone within earshot that she was in charge and I really believe she did that because I, being a black woman, was sitting across from them.
You mentioned a black couple being more intense than the biracial couple at the pool. That is something else. I rarely see black couples even holding hands in public. However, it does seem that after the Obamas came on the spotlight and they are shown holding hands, I have begun to see more black couples holding hands in public. That’s a good thing but I think it is sad that in order for some of us to even show something as natural as affection that we should have for each other, whether in public or not, then it needs to be validated by public figures. SMH!!!
@all,
Please take a look at this short video. If this is true, God help us:
http://yourblackworld.net/2015/11/20/heres-why-only-half-of-young-black-people-expect-to-live-past-35/
@Sharon53
Thank you for showing the video Sister. It was short. The Brother speaking made great comments about many issues from student loans to police brutality. Many young people lack a vision and see a world filled with hypocrisy, violence, hate, sexism, racism, and discrimination. The young people want to be respected and given wisdom. I don’t believe that all black youth have this mentality, but this mentality does exist. There are serous problems in our communities from the poor areas to the middle class areas. Even the rich of our people suffer racism and discrimination. It is a problem when some of our people feel so hopeless that they can’t expect to live past 35. Certainly, we fight for change not only for ourselves, but for our people who are young and for future generations of black people too.
@ Sharon53
This is the reality many of our young black males have been program to believe & live the lifestyle. I’ve had several black male classmates which many didn’t survive passed the age of 30 years old. All of their deaths were cause from gun violence, furthermore many were raised in poverty, dysfunctional families, and etc. If you go on social media sites you will see status post or memos of young blacks stating “their happy to make it to see another year” or “I’m glad I made it to reach a certain age.” I like how the young black man in the video made changes within his self & made goals for him to reach instead of being a victim.
Thank you….M/ANY young males (and females) should heed this. We have far too many wandering through life…aimlessly.

@lischelle
It is a troubling story. The police chief should be fired immediately. There is no excuse for any public figure to show a racist email. A police chief has the power of life and death in many instances and racism is totally an abomination. The mayor is obviously someone who sold out. This story proves that many black people are covert and overt agents of white supremacy. Also, this story is a eye opener to see how white racism operates. Some black people are more willing to forgive white people than black people and that’s the disgrace. We have to keep on making strategies and using activism to fight back against oppression. I rather stand up and fight than stand down. We will fight using many means.

That’s great.
I will definitely tune in.
or another topic of interest might be why Whites are angry at blacks which is what baffles me the most.
“…why whites need to control us…why whites are angry at blacks…”
I don’t know what Trojan Pam or others have to say, but I believe that they are JEALOUS of our superior melanin and body structure, and afraid that when we do WAKE UP, we will do to them what they have done to us for CENTURIES.
I recently watched a video by Dr. Frances Welsing and she mentioned the body structure of black people as well, they are the only people that INITIALLY target the genitals of their captives of color. I don’t remember reading of them doing that to white captives, except in extreme instances like the Salem Witch Trials or in Eastern Europe at times, like Vlad the Impaler.
@lischelle
You have made great points. Even the most racist whites can’t deny the power of our intellect and our physical power. They certainly are jealous of our melanin. That is why many of them try to stalk us for sex and for other reasons. Vlad the Impaler was one of the most evil, demonic white person in human history. They don’t name some whites as vampires for nothing.
Black is Beautiful.
Thanks Timothy, I wanted to tell all of you to read the books by Kyle Onstott if you can still find them because they are not in print anymore. But if you can find the movie “Mandingo” and/or the book, it will show you just how frightened of a Black Planet white people really are. They did some really horrific and unspeakable things to their slaves, but have the audacity to call us savages.
@lischelle
Thank you for the books. I will certainly research them. I heard of the movie “Mandingo.” The movie graphically shown the brutal nature of American slavery. Yes, they have done unspeakable acts even against each other. If they killed millions of their own people in Europe alone, then they have no right to call us savages at any level. We believe in the human dignity of black people and we believe that black people should be treated with dignity and with respect. This is a spiritual battle too. That is why we have to control our thoughts, focus on treating people fairly, and reject white racist propaganda. Racism is both individual and structural too. We want the system of white supremacy to totally end 100 percent. This fight isn’t easy, but we will continue to stand up and speak up for the truth.
Totally concur and totally understand Timothy, so please be careful out there. I’ll give in when I am no longer black, but my age negates me from being more than an armchair warrior, so watch your 6.
@lischelle
Yes, Sister
I will watch my six.
Enjoy your Day.
@lischelle
Here is my take on veterans, especially black veterans.
First, military human beings are some of the most mistreated, exploited people in human history. Many of them fight in wars and come back with lax job opportunities, diseases, and massive hurt. One example is how many Vietnam War veterans suffer mental illness, hurt, Agent Orange, and many are homeless today. My brother is a veteran and when he came home, our family had to fight to give him a job (via programs and services). Today, he has a job that he loves. That is why many veterans are fighting for job opportunities. I have my views about the police. My views are that crooked cop are terrorists and I have no respect for crooked cops at all. There is a serious problem of crime in poor neighborhoods, but most people in poor black neighborhoods aren’t criminals and they aren’t thugs. So, I don’t believe in generalizing, especially my own black people.
A lot of people have a hesitant attitude towards veterans since many equate them with the imperialist policy makers when the situation of war is complicated. Not too many people know that many veterans have been some of the most strongest anti-war activists in history. Many military people have been involved in rebellions to stand up for truth. Therefore, there is complexity on these issues. The one percent exploit these wars for economic profit and to prop up pro-Western puppet regimes. The more that I study about ISIS, the more I see that conflict as a Sunni vs. Shia situation (and I do see that only a political solution can solve this complication long term). Many black vets are maligned in some sections of our community, because of the Vietnam War situation. Many black people died in that war and Dr. King, Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, and others opposed the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War to me was unjust and it was so brutal and bloody that many of our people don’t trust any vet (that shouldn’t be the case at all). So, we have to make distinctions between a sincere vet and imperial wars.
I hope that I answered your question Sister.
“…My views are that crooked cop are terrorists and I have no respect for crooked cops at all. There is a serious problem of crime in poor neighborhoods, but most people in poor black neighborhoods aren’t criminals and they aren’t thugs. So, I don’t believe in generalizing, especially my own black people….”
.
Timothy, please….spare me. We all know the problems inherent in the black community. Most black people in poor neighborhoods are literally held hostage and terrorized by a small group of thugs and criminals trying to get “street cred” for their exploits. They can’t DO what they do anywhere else and repeatedly get away with it for extended periods, or even years. I know what goes on there, but I don’t know the players….I was BLACK long before it became popular in the 1960s but have no problem with calling a spade a spade. Suggest you watch the trailer for the movie “Chiraq” because we used to call my old neighborhood “Little Vietnam” because of the violence. That is NOT a generalization of any poor, black community….it is an OBSERVATION from my living room window.
However, I appreciate your insights on the black Vets. We don’t have any political power to change foreign policy or even national policy, in spite of Pres. Obama being a black man. Before he was sworn in the GOP announced that they would block EVERY proposal he put forth, and they were true to their word
@lischelle
We will have to agree to disagree on poor communities.
The media is very fond of ignoring how black activists are fighting back against crime in communities for years and decades. Also, stats prove that overall crime rates have declined since 1980. There are many unsung heroes standing up against intraracial crime. No one here is minimizing real problems. Many people are putting issues into context. Pessimism is never what I believe in.
Also, teen pregnancy rates in the black community has declined since 1992. All of this is documented in various sources. We have a long way to go, but to assume that the black poor is monolithic is a view that I don’t agree with (and I never will agree with). Also, black people loved blackness for thousands of years and many black people today love their blackness today.
We do agree on black vets.
@Lischelle
Regarding your statement “…I believe that they are JEALOUS of our superior melanin and body structure, and AFRAID that when we do WAKE UP, we will do to them what they have done to us for CENTURIES.”
Profound statement and good observations! Also I bet you won’t find anyone else in history indulging in homosexuality until they came in contact with Europeans. These people are so anti-human and disgusting, I don’t see why anyone would want to mimic their lifestyle.
“…..good observations…I don’t see why anyone would want to mimic their lifestyle”
Thanks Sharon53, I think that it has to do with the PERKS they get from supporting and mimicking the dominant culture, if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em mentality. They must not realize that is their COLOR alone that keeps them in the “enemy status” column until perpetuity.
“…One of the biggest problems with people of privilege is that they believe that their personal feelings should trump any and every other thing—including laws and facts. When their safety, property or even their simple comfort is in jeopardy, their response is always to close ranks and put their wagon train in a circle. You see, white fright is bigger than the Constitution, data or even the truth because whenever there is a crisis, the privileged automatically go into the default mode of “protect mine,” and in the psyche of privilege, everything—the country, the schools and the neighborhoods—is all theirs.
The perception that making a school district whiter will make it better is more important than the actual data that shows the opposite. The fear of terrorists disguised as refugees transcends the fact that over 200 American citizens have tried to go fight for the Islamic State—they don’t have to pose as Syrian refugees to get to America because they are already in America.”
I have been studying these demons for decades, and in some very personal environs. They will kill each other for fraternizing, not being white ENOGH, or any other B S excuse to make sure that they keep black people on the bottom and living in poverty or as close to as possible. If it didn’t take so much of my own personal energy, I would allow myself to hate the lot of them. That is why I always tell people that it is impossible for black people to be RACIST. We can’t impact ANY system in this country or anyone’s life, especially the life of a single white person let alone a whole community of people. Pray that we wake up one day before we are all dead.
I don’t fully agree that they are “jealous” I think they have a mental illness.I also think they think of themselves as superior b/c of history and how society operates.
@Alicia
I agree with you that they certainly have mental illness. A sane person won’t harm black people in such perverse ways.
I am totally rejecting the “mental illness” theory, because that would imply that they can be cured or that their actions are less than the cold, calculating, evil that they have been perpetuating for hundreds of but only on non-whites. I just read an article where a sitting judge just sentence a 20 year old black male to SIXTY YEARS in prison for driving with a suspended license!! So please don’t try the “mental illness” excuse for these diabolical barbarians. I ain’t buying that one!!
I think it is FEAR that one day black people will finally WAKE UP and go on a killing spree, taking out as many whites as possible before they are killed by the kkkops. It is just mind-boggling the damage they do to black people, and STILL claim to be “superior”…smdh
@lischelle
They consciously do their evils without question.
They or the white racists certainly know the truth. They know about the vitality and strength of black people. They know what they’re doing. So, they are accountability for their own evil actions. They are never superior to anyone as their acts represents evil and degeneracy. I agree with you that they have a fear that we, as black people, will treat them as they have treated us for centuries. They are desperate for acceptance while we, as black people, just want to live in peace. We just want liberation to live our own lives and they constantly intrude in our actions. So, this is definitely a war and fight. The black male sentenced for that long is a victim and the criminal injustice system is corrupt and evil.
@Lischelle
Regarding your comments “…Being crazy implies that they don’t know what they are doing and acting on the spur of the moment.”
Sometimes I think mental illness is a misunderstood concept by many people. However, there are different types of illness. For instance a person with a multiple personality disorder may not be aware of what he or she are doing. However, there are other mental illness where the person is very aware of what they are doing, such as with sadists like Adolf Hitler and serial killers like Ted Bundy, who was both educated and very outwardly charming also. One of the reasons it takes authorities so long to nab serial killers is because they are very elusive, meaning they have to know what they are doing or they would not be able to fool so many people. I have heard that some schizophrenic people can be very manipulative and will play you like a fiddle and they know what they are doing also.
@Sharon53
Excellent points. I never thought of it like that.
I agree.
“…However, there are other mental illness where the person is very aware of what they are doing, such as with sadists like Adolf Hitler and serial killers like Ted Bundy, who was both educated and very outwardly charming also….”
Sharon53,
I don’t know if I replied or not to your comment, but I concur with you. Still what you are saying is that with some exceptions, the entire white race is just a bunch of serial killers!! It is not a coincidence then that all of the serial killers that have been captured or killed, with the exception of 2-3 men of color, have all been white men and a couple of white women. Imagine my surprise when the FBI said that Muhammad, the ?D.C. Sniper couldn’t possibly be a black man, because we are not capable of such critical thinking skills…smh. When they finally caught him and Malvo, I noticed that the bozo in the FBI had nothing more to say about black intelligence.
I don’t think they fear us. They also have an issue with us going about our lives and i don’t think they fear retribution because it’s they that have the race problem, not us.
“…of baptism did not alter the condition of a person as to his bondage or freedom, so that masters, freed from this doubt, could now “more carefully endeavor the propagation of Christianity.” In 1669 an “act about the casual killing of slaves” provided that if any slave resisted his master and under the extremity of punishment chanced to die, his death was not to be considered a felony and the master was to be acquitted. In 1670 it was made clear that none but freeholders and housekeepers should vote in the election of burgesses, and in the same year provision was taken against the possible ownership of a white servant by a free Negro, who nevertheless “was not debarred from buying any of his own nation.” In 1692 there was legislation “for the more speedy prosecution of slaves committing capital crimes”; and this was reenacted in 1705, when some provision was made for the compensation of owners and when it was further declared that Negro, mulatto, and Indian slaves within the dominion were “real estate” and “incapable in law to be witnesses in any cases whatsoever”; and in 1723 there was an elaborate and detailed act “directing the trial of slaves committing capital crimes, and for the more effectual punishing conspiracies and insurrections of them, and for the better government of Negroes, mulattoes, and Indians, bond or free.” This last act specifically stated that no slave should be set free upon any pretense whatsoever “except for some meritorious services, to be adjudged and allowed by the governor and council.” All this legislation was soon found to be too drastic and too difficult to enforce, and modification was inevitable. This came in 1732, when it was made possible for a slave to be a witness when another slave was on trial for a capital offense, and in 1744 this provision was extended to civil cases as well. In 1748 there was a general revision of all existing legislation, with special provision against attempted insurrections.
[Footnote 1: Hening: _Statutes_, I, 146.]
[Footnote 2: _Ibid_., I, 552.]
Thus did Virginia pave the way, and more and more slave codes took on some degree of definiteness and uniformity. Very important was the act of 1705, which provided that a slave might be inventoried as real estate. As property henceforth there was nothing to prevent his being separated from his family. Before the law he was no longer a person but a thing…”
Alicia, I understand what you are saying but the above “slave codes” should help explain who and what we are forced to deal with. And YES, they are the ones that have a problem with our color, culture and everything else that is not glorifying their pale flesh, but because they control everything in this society if impacts us negatively as long as we are alive….and even if we leave this country, their influence on other nations will effect us as well. There is nothing we can do about it beyond educating ourselves and embracing our own people, COLOR, culture and history. THREE slave revolts in this country and it only made them more cruel and hateful. You can’t teach them nothing about diversity and race relations, because of their FEAR of losing control and dominance over their POSESSIONS.
“….They have the race issue, not us.”
I don’t agree with that at all Alicia, we have “race issues” with each other as well.
“According to the New York Times, “Blacks spend less money in Black-owned businesses than other racial and ethnic groups spend in businesses owned by members of their groups, including Hispanics and Asians.” In other words, African Americans are good at talking about “buying black”, but not so good at following through.
Aaron Barnes feels the reason blacks don’t buy from black businesses is primarily an issue of trust and knowing what is out there and what the options are. “Trust and awareness are probably the biggest culprits…They’re cyclical to an extent. We have a dishearteningly low amount of trust in people who look like us. Therefore, we turn a blind eye to businesses owned by Black folks. After a while, you completely lose touch with the black economy and can’t even identify a black-owned business in your neighborhood—let alone your city or region.”
@Lischelle
In regard to your statement “Still what you are saying is that with some exceptions, the entire white race is just a bunch of serial killers!!”
I would like to clarify what I was trying to say. No, I was not stating the entire white race is just a bunch of serial killers. I was responding to your statement when you said “”…Being crazy implies that they don’t know what they are doing.” So I drew an analogy using sadists, serial killers and schizophrenics as examples of people who are mentally ill but are still very much aware of what they doing. Sometimes, the crazies don’t go so far as killing people. Sometimes they are just verbally, emotionally, or mentally abusive which is just as evil because you cannot see the damage being done. Usually narcissists and misogynists fall under that category. And because these people are aware of what they are doing, they should be held accountable for their actions.
@Lischelle
I have to agree with Alicia that whites are the ones with the race issue not us. Because of white supremacists programming we may have a problem with colorism/shadism but we cannot be racists because racism is a system involving a group of people having power over another group of people. And who do we as a people have power over? We can be prejudiced against others including other blacks but we cannot be racists. I would like to make a suggestion. Please go to http://racismws.com/ and click on the Bookstore dropdown and purchase some of the books. Trojan Pam does a good job of dissecting white supremacy, racism, etc.
Sharon53, I never said that black people were racist….it isn’t even POSSIBLE, for all the reasons you stated as they mirror my own which I have stated before in the week that I have been on this site. I have a complete understanding of racism, white supremacy and B S propaganda theories as it relates to all matters of the color wheel in this and in other countries as well. I am also well aware of the COLORISM inherent in the black community, as my Mother was a victim of such stupidity when she was growing up in the South – it was by DESIGN in the 1700s, and believe it or not was used to turn the Hutus and Tutsi’s against each other in the 1980s. The Dutch were behind that bit of lunacy, telling one tribe/nation of people that one was blacker than the other…smdh. Not much changed in the mind-set of black people IMO, and I always have to prove that I am black ENOUGH, or TOO black depending on the setting and the black people that I am around….now it is about how much money I have, I got tired of being the Ghetto ATM where I lived, so I moved. I also got tired of the rumors and gossip, since none of the Brain Trusts ever simplified matters and spoke to me directly.
@Lischelle
Sorry for the misunderstanding. In response to Alicia’s statement “… they that have the race problem, not us”, you stated “I don’t agree with that at all Alicia, we have “race issues” with each other as well.” So I mistakenly thought you were stating we black people practice racism with each other.
No problem Sharon53, we can be “racist” towards each other, but I find that it is often because of financial concerns inside the black local community where everyone knows everyone else kind of thing. However, that is as far as it goes….thugs, drug dealers, thieves, etc. who “run” certain blocks and depend on the gossips, rumor mill and corrupt kkkops to stay in charge. Sort of like the movie the Godfather except we can’t afford to buy judges or politicians or even a lawyer to get a lighter sentence if we get caught. Still, we can never impact the larger society or get laws changed because it would impact the lives of others.
Like you said, we can be prejudiced of other ethnicities and it is NEVER without CAUSE, whether their home country displays racism or they get here and do it individually on the local level, but so what….we still can’t change anything. And I am serious….immigration officials discourage them from interactions with A As before they are given a green card. They are threatened with deportation in some instances, especially those from the Caribbean.
I am totally rejecting any “mental health” issues with this race of demons. Being crazy implies that they don’t know what they are doing and acting on the spur of the moment. Everything they do is cold and calculated to inflict maximum damage physically, psychologically and emotionally to every black person involved, no matter how peripheral the involvement is. They are pissing and moaning about ISIS/ISIL but they are not the biggest terrorists on the planet…Europeans are!!
No matter WHAT we do, or don’t do, say or don’t say…our very existence frightens them and I’m not even trying to understand why they feel that way!! Let me place this copy&paste before my internet connection goes cattywhompus again.
“…Other intelligence work involves black women working as domestics. The story of Mary Elizabeth Bowser [PDF], less well-documented than Tubman’s but no less intriguing, is a fascinating tale of a brilliant woman who worked with an urban spy ring in the Confederate capital said to be “the most productive espionage operation” in the Civil War.
Bowser is said to have had a photographic memory. When she assumed the identity of an illiterate slave women and found a place as a house servant in the Confederate White House, she was able to gain access to lists of troop movements, reports on the location of Union prisoners, military strategies and treasury reports. She passed the information along to Union forces until she was discovered and fled Richmond near the end of the war.
And finally, there was Mary Touvestre [PDF], a free black woman working for a Confederate engineer in Norfolk, Va., who overheard plans for building the C.S.S. Virginia. After obtaining a copy of the plans, she daringly crossed enemy lines to take this information to Secretary of the Navy, Gideon Welles, which caused the Union to crank up construction of its own ironclad warship, the U.S.S. Monitor.
After the war, the brave exploits of these black women spies were mostly forgotten, whether from prejudice, loss of records or desire for anonymity. They certainly don’t need to remain hidden any longer.
@lischelle
First, thank you for showing information about Mary Touvestre and other black heroes of the Civil War who fought against Confederate evil folks.
From your comments, I’m going to reject any reference of mental illness when it comes to describing white racist brutes. They know what they are doing. They plan out their actions. You are right. They act slick and they map out their strategies for years in how they want to oppress us. They don’t act out of chance. They act for the stated purpose of harming us as black people. European imperialism has killed millions of people worldwide, especially in Africa. King Leopold killed over 2 million black Congolese in Africa during the 19th century. So, these Western terrorists have no respect from any of us. We have to be on guard and use discernment about these things. I heard of Mary Elizabeth Bowser too.
Timothy, I have never heard of either of these women, or the countless other black people that fought, helped to build this country, and/or died to keep the country safe just to still get treated like animals or second class occupants. I accidentally stumbled on this information looking for a female European spy named Mata Hari. I’m sure there are countless other black people from history that assisted in the making of this nation, but never found their way into school textbooks either.
Thank you for the reminder, Trojan Pam. You’re right.
@Brother Timothy:
Have you heard of the book “King Leopold’S Ghost”? It goes into detail about the genocide that the Belgians committed against millions of Congolese. I read the book years ago. It’S a very good book.
@lischelle
Yes, there are tons of black people in America who made great contributions historically (that a lot of people don’t know about). This is why we should have more discussions about our historical heritage. JA Rogers have written many books on this issue. Also, there are many black people from the Midwest and from the West Coast who made an impact in the black freedom movement too. I advise people to study black people in Omaha since Omaha has a strong history of black resistance against white oppression. I love to study about the Civil War too. I understand the Civil War in a higher level now than many years ago.
“…JA Rogers have written many books on this issue. Also, there are many black people from the Midwest and from the West Coast who made an impact in the black freedom movement too. I advise people to study black people in Omaha since Omaha has a strong history of black resistance against white oppression…”
Thanks for this information, Timothy. I have heard the name before, and because my in-laws lived in Omaha for years it is safe to say that black people have changed a lot since then, but I will research tomorrow….thanks again. BTW, my in-laws left Omaha 5 years ago.
@lischelle
Yes, JA Rogers and so many other black authors back then has shown the truth in an amazing fashion. There is a lot of hidden history about black courage that we have every right to know about.
Thanks again, I am an avid and active reader = I usually write notes in the margins of my books, so I don’t forget to tell my sons about relevant information. I usually spend $100-$200 on books every year at Christmas and black authors are usually my focus. thanks again
Thank you, Sister Lischelle. I have heard of Mary Elizabeth Bowswer, too.
@Sister Courtney
Goodnight Sister Courtney
Have a Great Weekend. 🙂
@Alicia
There is such a thing as being insanely jealous so a person or group of people can be both jealous and mentally ill at the same time. That fits white supremacists to a “T”.
“…insanely jealous…”
That wasn’t the idea that I was going for Sharon53, not even close because of their history of specifically attacking the genitalia of black people while still desiring to forcefully have sex with before and after they are dead. I can’t remember now if it was you or someone else that said homosexuality wasn’t a part of our early history until we encountered Europeans…whoever said it they were spot on. Attacking the genitals and even the womb of pregnant women was the NORM for them, because they were jealous of the myth that all black men are well endowed. I am not trying to gross anyone out, but I’ve been an R N for decades so I can unequivocally state that it is a myth; especially after raping and breeding with their captives.
No….this euro demon is cold and calculating about his destructive nature towards people of color, and that isn’t only black people, but we are definitely getting the worst of it even now because we ain’t got no place else to go. And it has nothing to do with anything that we have done, but how we are portrayed by the media, Holly Weird, and even tourists and government officials to foreign nations. I personally think England is the worst, as they are close kin to white americans, but that is my take on it only.
@everyone
I am sure everyone is tired of these types of sites but I just wanted to share this one:
http://idatedaily.com/top-fives/ice-t-explains-why-he-cherishes-white-women-over-other-races/
If Ice-T really said this, I can’t believe some of the shallow sh__t that came out of his mouth. I have heard most of these because as always most of them focus on how easy white women are perceived to be, especially in the bedroom but #3 really took the cake.
@Sharon53
If Ice T said this, then he is totally a despicable person. He is already a traitor to black people for many reasons. He cursed out black women who had a problem with his relationship with a white woman. He has no respect for black women, so I have no respect for him. So, it it what it is. He used records back then to condemn police brutality and curse out cops, but he plays a cop on TV. It is obvious that black people are filled with loving, progressive, and great people. I know tons of black women who are kind, progressive, very intelligent, inspirational, and willing to sacrifice for black people. So, the anti-black hate campaign is truly evil and it should end. Ice T married a white woman and I don’t agree with Ice T on many issues. Celebrities in that world are heavily compromised, follow the status quo, or they refuse to advocate an end to the system of white supremacy (since they benefit from it). Yes, many black males do marry white women, but their divorce rates are extremely high as compared to black marriages. The white Eurocentric beauty standards (as advanced by racists) is part of the racist/colorist system. One thing that the racists and the traitors hate is for black men and black women to unite with each, to love each, and to stand up fro each other as one people and as one community. The handwriting is on the wall. With the Internet, books, and other resources, people can easily find out the truth in this generation. We have to defend our dignity as black people and advocate plus fight for justice. Black Love is Beautiful like always and Black Love is a Revolutionary Act.
Thank you for showing the information Sister as your words have great relevancy in this forum.
@Timothy
Thanks for enlightening me on Ice-T. I did not know that much about him because I do not keep up with famous people involved in IRR but not surprised by anything that come out of their mouth.
@Sharon53
You’re welcome Sister.
He certainly is a puppet of the industry.
@Brother Timothy & everyone else:
I agree. I actually feel sorry for him, because he’S in for a serious wake-up call. 😦
@Sister Courtney
I agree with you Sister.
I heard of the book “King Leopold’S Ghost” book before. I heard how people talked about it in relation to describing the genocide of the Congolese. Thank you for telling me about the book. .
I really don’t care who Ice-T is married to or who he prefers however I do recall a few years ago watching this show and he kept disrespecting Holly Robinson, it was weird. The vibe I got was that he had a problem with Black women or felt black women had a problem with him because of who he had married. He was unnecessarily rude to her though!
Wow….he is a bit of a bozo, and sisters should be glad that he doesn’t want to date black females. Give that brother serious LET LONE….especially in the sex department, or he may come up with one of the MANY diseases w f are known to carry and spread. They are only after his money anyway, and no amount of money would get me to demean myself by being with his sorry behind, white, black OR Jap-Talian
@ ALL
This blog was created to EDUCATE ourselves about the system of white supremacy and to encourage unity between black people
NOT to be an open-air forum for black people to degrade other black people by calling them foul names like rachets, hos, coons and “Kneegrows”
This behavior is the OPPOSITE of what counter-racism is — and plays into the hands of the white supremacists because we simply are doing
WHAT THEY HAVE TAUGHT US TO DO — DEGRADE EACH OTHER
without looking into our OWN MIRRORS to focus on what is wrong with us.
So, this will be the last time I will say this
CALLING OTHER BLACK PEOPLE FOUL NAMES WILL NOT BE ALLOWED ON THIS BLOG
Anyone who keeps ignoring this request will have their posts deleted.
For those who insist on continuing this behavior, there may be other sites more to their liking like Newsone, Black Planet, Black Moi, etc where black people freely bash and name-call and degrade each other
This is NOT one of those sites
Just like I respect the people who post here — I also INSIST that this respect be a two-way street.
@Trojan Pam
I totally agree with you. We can easily express our ideals without the usage slurs and other foul language. Degrading black people is totally wrong. We are all in the same fight for justice.
@ Timothy
Think about this
What other ethnic group is constantly calling each other names that degrade their own ethnicity?
Where do we get this behavior from?
WHITE SUPREMACIST-CREATED BLACK ENTERTAINMENT
And we swallow this POISON like it’s manna from heaven
and begin to SPEAK, ACT, AND THINK like the black people we see on TV, the same images white supremacists have created for us
Some food for thought ..
@Sister Trojan Pam
You’re correct.
You have certainly shown information that people should think about.
What we do is important. Also, young people watch us constantly. We have to set an example of not degrading our own ethnicity, so the youth can see examples of being pro-black in action. The racists benefit from TV shows that mock black people in overt and covert ways. So, we should think in terms of chess beyond checkers. Mainstream TV show images for the benefit of not us, but for the corporate power structure. Respecting ourselves is very important as a way for us to eliminate the bonds of mental colonialism as our Blackness is Beautiful.
“She has a POINT.”
Sanitized thoughts rarely lead to actionable results.
@ Nate
There is a big difference between being honest and being uncivil — particularly at a time when black people are struggling with epidemic levels of self-hatred (based on being black) and anti-blackness (based on other people being black).
And look where we get our cues from — WHITE SUPREMACIST MEDIA — where black females are regularly calling each other bitches and hos and rachets. And where black males are calling each other ‘niggas’
Listening to black people (both in person and on line) you would think you’re at a Klan Rally. Verbal abuse has become so common among our people that we think they are “terms of endearment”
WHO ELSE DOES THAT? NO ONE BUT US
I cannot for the life of me see any constructive value in black people calling other black people the SAME foul names that racists call us and the same names that racists TAUGHT us to say about each other. I can criticize or state a comment without calling someone a foul name and if I can’t do that then maybe, the problem isn’t them — it’s ME.
If someone can explain how we benefit from being mean and uncivil to each other during a time when UNITY is so desperately needed, I’d be open to hearing that explanation.
I’ll take a shot at it. “mean and uncivil” to one another ranges from the (supposed perks that whites allow them to have to just plain ‘ol ego and arrogance (and Spirit knows I have seen a LOT of this!) to “I’m hurting and I’m going to make sure that someone that I perceive to be weak like me (other blacks) catches hell from me! And if they are black like me? I “automatically” discount that individual’s worth as a PERSON.
Again, I am just taking a shot at it. But you’re the Social Scientist here.:) I’ll let you tell it.
Phazex_Female
@Phazex_Female
This is in response to your response “mean and uncivil” to one another ranges from the (supposed perks that whites allow them to have to just plain ‘ol ego and arrogance (and Spirit knows I have seen a LOT of this!)…” I have seen blacks on jobs get thrown a bone from whites after cutting another black person’s throat. As far as egoism and arrogance, I think that is too nice of a way to describe self-loathing people but I see what you mean.
You really hit the bulls-eye with your statements “I’m hurting and I’m going to make sure that someone that I perceive to be weak like me (other blacks) catches hell from me! And if they are black like me? I “automatically” discount that individual’s worth as a PERSON.”
I can really relate to this as I have been a victim myself because I really did not understand that when I was being given a hard time, is that someone was actually imposing their own self-hatred on me. It was very confusing because I never did anything to anyone and was kind to the person(s). Yes, these self-haters target some people they perceive as weak when in reality, the person just may never have had exposure to this kind of ignoramus, or may be just a kind and giving person. Some of them will go so far as to blame the victim, stating ‘you allowed them to hurt you’ as if you can control someone else’s behavior or read their mind and predict their behavior.
Because I am not in that kind of mindset, I still have a hard time understanding the ‘misery love company’ idiom. Having grown up in a rural setting back in the 1960s, I tended to take people at face value. In a way, it was safe to do so at that time because it was so few of us and we had more of a sense of community also. However, in retrospect, I did begin to see a change in our behavior once integration took full swing in the late 1960s. And since moving to an urban area, I have seen an avalanche of the same self-hating behavior. I really wish that I had known back then what I know now because I could have protected myself from a lot of disappointment. I am still healing from some stuff and as I become more socially-conscious especially about what has happened to us as a people, I can deal with things a little better.
Hey, Phazex….below is something I got from YourBlackWorld.com today, so NO….I am not concerned with how white people view us after watching nonsense on T V:
“….And the news media didn’t try holding her accountable either. Michael Brown was described as “no angel” by The New York Times after having been gunned down by Darren Wilson. But Furay, an alleged criminal caught with a boatload of drugs and drug manufacturing and distribution equipment, was described as having taken “an entrepreneurial approach to avoiding student loan debt.”
The Daily Beast notes how these racial stereotypes, the inclination to view a white drug dealer as “entrepreneurial” and a black drug dealer as a thug, manifest in the criminal justice system,,,”
Her father is a DEA Agent, so guess where she got her drugs from…LOL!!
@ ALL
So sad, did anyone else hear about this?
@Kowaba.
Hello Sister.
I think I head of this story a few days ago. This white male is truly evil. This coward knocked down an elderly black man. The black man was totally defenseless. The white male only gets 6 years, but black people get decades in prison for nonviolent drug offenses. So, the criminal injustice system is blatantly racially biased. The story should make anyone feel outrage. The white male represents the viciousness, the evil, and the callousness of the white supremacist system. I pray for the elderly Brother.
Hi Timothy,
Thank you for the reply. I find it extremely sad that someone would just go over and punch someone in the face, particularly a defenseless elderly person. It makes me mad when black people are just minding their own business and people always have to come over and try to wreak havoc in our lives. It’s really speaks volumes about how this world is and how cruel people are. I hope the victim in this situation is healing and resting after this assault.
@Kowaba
You’re Welcome.
We have a lot of evil people in the world. The evil person who assaulted an elderly Brother knew what he was doing. Yes, we hope that the victim is healing as well. We live in a world where racism is abundant. That is why we have to respect each other as black people and stand up for our people.
lischelle, while that is an important issue. my post was referring to whites supposedly being scared of getting back what they did to us. What I was trying to say is that Whites know most other races do not have the race issue that they have, especially not black people. I don’t believe they fear “getting it back”, I also don’t think they’re jealous of us but jealousy, envy, etc go along with the underlying racism and race hate issues they have. Because they believe they are superior, they have a sense of entitlement and feel we should always be below them.
“…. What I was trying to say is that Whites know most other races do not have the race issue that they have, especially not black people…”
Alicia, sorry but can you clarify this for me? I can’t think of another ethnicity that does NOT practice racism in their home country, and they just REFINE their tactics when they come here.
“… I don’t believe they fear “getting it back’…..,”
Well, we’ll have to agree to disagree on that one since I’m not a mind reader, and don’t know what they are actually thinking or if they even consider what their ancestors have done to us over the centuries. I do know that it took a long time for them to even accept that they too originated in Mother Africa, but some of the smart alecks now want to flip the scrip and say WE are all Africans, meaning them as well. You should read some of the books by Kyle Onstott, they are very informative about the Deep South and how poor whites couldn’t stand the notion of being treated like a “N” and that mind-set persists today.
“.. I also don’t think they’re jealous of us but jealousy, envy, etc go along with the underlying racism and race hate issues they have. Because they believe they are superior, they have a sense of entitlement and feel we should always be below them.”
That is what they get from their holy book, and my comments about them being jealous is because of their deliberate attacks on black genitalia since time began. These sadists did horrific things to the bodies of black people even after they were lynched!! They would sometimes cut off the breasts, penis and testicles of men and women then make them into coin purses and keepsake “ornaments”. They even had their children present at lynchings for an after church social! They were USUALLY easier on the women because their wealth was in the number of slaves they could breed into existence, but some women would abort or kill their children rather than let them be born into slavery or sold off to another plantation.
@lischelle
A lot of people get a sanitized version of the slavery situation in the Americas. Yet, your description of slavery is accurate and our people need to know that slavery in America was worse than any horror movie in existence. Our people suffered torture in a very graphic manner. I read where slaves were tied up to 2 horses and the horses torn the bodies of black people. So, these white racists are totally demented and filled with evil unparalleled in human history. That is why I will have no sexual or romantic relations with white people (among other reasons like I love my black identity). Black youth need to know real black history. Black youth need to realize that we are in a war for our survival literally.

ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON Timothy!!
There is nothing to add to what you said, so you young mothers and fathers….HEED HIS WARNING or your offspring will be enslaved!! And I am NOT talking about being sent to prison either!! I’m talking about a modern day PLANTATION, so get out your DVDs of “Roots”, Mandingo”, Amistad” and “12 Years A Slave” and DEMAND that your offspring pay attention!!
@lischelle
You have made the truth plain Sister.
Parents do have the responsibility to teach black children about slavery i an honest, accurate fashion. Also, I do advise the young to look at Chaka Zulu too. It was a long film and I watch it over 10 years ago. It gave lessons on the warrior spirit of black people and the viciousness of white racists. History shows lessons. One lesson of slavery is that they (we know who the “they” are) have an uncontrollable hatred of us and we ought to continue to stand up for our rights and fight back against any evil. Also, the same methods that these racists used back in the day are still in use in our generation.
“Amen.” Yes indeed, many of “them” still think that they are nickel-slick.

@Phazex_Female
I agree with you Sister. We are opposed to a vicious system.
“.. I do advise the young to look at Chaka Zulu too. It was a long film and I watch it over 10 years ago. It gave lessons on the warrior spirit of black people and the viciousness of white racists. History shows lessons…”
And we all better learn if we don’t want to repeat another 400 years of Chattel Slavery. I had forgotten about that movie, and will see if I can get a copy of “Chaka Zulu” because I watch them all during the winter holiday season. I don’t know where they found that brother, but he is one FINE, BLACK man!!
” One lesson of slavery is that they (we know who the “they” are) have an uncontrollable hatred of us and we ought to continue to stand up for our rights and fight back against any evil…”
No problem there….fighting back I mean; but the entire global system of racism is stacked against us, so I encourage black people to TRAVEL as well. Even if it is to another state of the Amerikkkas, get out of your local comfort zone and see how other people live. If you can travel outside this country do it!! You would be surprised how you are viewed as an A A, even by other black people because they all asked the same question “Why didn’t your people fight back?” It would take a week to tell them about all the times we DID fight back, only to get more oppression, beatings and death which included your entire family IF you had one.
“.. Also, the same methods that these racists used back in the day are still in use in our generation.”
I totally concur, but you can’t FORCE the backstabbers to open their eyes and really see who they are aligning with. Their bond is unbreakable like I said before, and unless the backstabbers know of some magical way to stop being black for the rest of their life, that temporary alliance they obtained for perks will end as soon as they have sacrificed one of their own or a group of their own.
@lischelle
We have no other option but to learn about the lessons of the past. The Maafa was an abomination. It murdered tons of our ancestors. That should never be forgotten. Subsequently, we should always deduce what we are up against. These savages are killing and assaulting our Brothers and our Sisters in broad daylight without any convictions whatsoever. So, we are in a war. The film Chaka Zulu is a great film with great actors and actresses. Also, Chaka Zulu was a genius in terms of military strategy as outlined in the film. Well, there are beautiful black women in the Chaka Zulu film. I have no problem with traveling too. Traveling expands ones scope and we should realize that we, as black people, are an international people. We have experiences and we can learn from others. Others can learn from us. There are Afro-French, Africans, etc. who have valuable words that we can understand about their own experiences. That is why I do advocate balck people to study the African Diaspora. Doing that just improves one’s soul. I also encourage people to travel. We can’t trust backstabbers at all. That is why some black people will wake up and others will not.
“…The Maafa was an abomination. It murdered tons of our ancestors. That should never be forgotten. Subsequently, we should always deduce what we are up against. These savages are killing and assaulting our Brothers and our Sisters in broad daylight without any convictions whatsoever…”
While I totally agree with you Timothy, I’m afraid that I can’t advocate you actually going into battle
with the current group of black people because I’m too old and can’t go with you myself. Besides, most younger people don’t know anything about the Maafa or slavery or even Africa, and don’t appear to want to learn until they are caught up in the corrupt Criminal Justice system…which is a form of slavery itself.
Suggest that you find some like minded young black men and bring them up to speed on black history before they get too far down Bamboozle Road and lose their focus. I would suggest my sons, but they are already far down Bamboozle Road and they are difficult to dialogue with on a good day let alone one of this importance.
@lischelle
I feel you on your words Sister. I am young, so I will fight for decades to come.
Also, fighting doesn’t necessarily deal with self-defense. Fighting can mean working in mentorships, forming programs to help innocent black people in the criminal justice system (which is an evil system. Even the 14th Amendment allows slavery if someone is imprisoned) and organizing economic enterprises in our communities (that can help our people more directly). Fighting is not monolithic. Also, Sister, you are entitled to enjoy your life. You lived on this Earth for a long time. So, it is up to the youth and the middle aged black people to carry the torch and to stand up for our rights as black people..
Thank you for your advice.

Yep, I just read where they made an arrest for calling in a bomb threat on the Chicago campus. They can really MOVE when a white boys life is threatened….smh. These are the kind of knucklehead, lone wolfs that I am afraid of as a black person living in this country.
“… Also, Sister, you are entitled to enjoy your life. You lived on this Earth for a long time. So, it is up to the youth and the middle aged black people to carry the torch and to stand up for our rights as black people.. ”
Thanks for that, I am NOT done fighting, just know that there is a work-around as well, but it starts with EDUCATION of the young. I have LOTS of advice, I’ve also seen what this system can and will do if a black person steps out of his/her “place” within that system. I was in the south, or rather my brothers were…when Emmett Till was murdered, so I know the consequences of not knowing this system first hand.
I believe all of those obsessions with black genitalia are ROOTED in hate and wanting to dominate us. It’s a sick mentality but that’s what I’ve grown to believe.
I totally concur that they hate us Alicia, and that is their main reason for attacking our genitals at every opportunity. If you study serial killers and their motivations like I do, you would discover that a lot of them….in fact most of them often attack the very status quo and white women they see as being kept from them as a privileged white male. They teach it to their children as being what they are DUE in life. See below what I consider the HEIGHT of white privilege and racism…
“…These racist pages have been popping up all over Facebook, at least 30 of them on the popular social site have been seen in favor of several different universities in the past few days alone.
Students feel that these pages have made a mockery of the Black Lives Matter movement.
“I’m not gonna lie. I was a little pissed off at first. But I’m not surprised,” said Ridwin Mohamednur, also a student at UC Berkeley. “I mean, a lot of folks are tired of hearing about black issues, the Black Lives Matter problems…”
The white kids are tired of hearing the VICTIMS complain about the racist system in this country, try LIVING WITH IT!!!
Here’s another one Alicia, this bastard kkkop raped THIRTEEN black women, and his lawyers are putting the victims credibility on trial!!
http://www.rawstory.com/2015/11/attorney-defends-alleged-serial-rapist-cop-by-attacking-the-credibility-of-vulnerable-black-women/
Thanks for the video Courtney, but unlike some others….harsh language doesn’t bother me at all. It is used basically for EMPHASIS only, however this ain’t my blog site so I have to follow the rulz like everyone else. I’m an army brat so what he is saying about whites wanting to get sisters on their side is TRUTH, and some of us fall for it hook, line and sinker…..until they turn on them as well down the road. I don’t feel sorry for them at all. I watched a play by a brother years ago, and the message takeaway was if you stay with an abuser even after he/she has shown you their TRUE FACE by disrespecting you repeatedly and publicly, beating you, sleeping with your friends and maybe even your daughter and you still STAY? Then you DESERVE WHAT YOU GET. Their bond is unbreakable, and it is all along the color line….they will kill each other for not being white enough, so black women siding with Massa ain’t got nothing coming. Not even “perks:, because they can stop those perks at any time….even on the job. It is HARD to even take white people to court and hope to succeed even with visible evidence
@ Lishelle:
I am a “Marine Brat” as well and I concur with you. Some of the things that my father taught all of us YEARS ago when I was still a kid:
“When someone shows you who they are? Believe them. The FIRST time.”
“Show me your friends? And I’ll tell you who you are.”
These quotes have not proved him wrong yet. I’m still learning from him (and my mom as well).
Absolutely right Phazex, I learned MANY things from my parents, including the wisdom that you don’t procreate if you can’t afford it because children are expensive and the price today just keeps going up. Second lesson of value….since they did not ask to come here, you STAY in their lives as much as humanly possible. The Call of the Streets is NOT an excuse to abandon your parental responsibility to yo mama, boy/girlfriend, some baby sitter or whatever 3-4 nights a week!!
Sister Lischelle:
I’m an Army brat, too. 😉
Thank you for your response. I agree with most of what you said .
I disagree, hiwever, on abused women. Women with a low seif-esteem tend to stay in abusive relationships, and they need to be taught to love themselves enough to try their best to avoid such relationships in the first olace. Again, thank you for your response.
“…I disagree, hiwever, on abused women. Women with a low seif-esteem tend to stay in abusive relationships, and they need to be taught to love themselves enough to try their best to avoid such relationships in the first olace. Again, thank you for your response.”
Courtney,
I don’t remember what I said, but after working with abused women for years, and being married to an abuser for 13 years myself, I am SURE that I said GET OUT, or STAY and shut up about the continuing abuse. It won’t stop on its own, he/she will always blame you for making him dot your eyes, beating you with a belt or board, kicking you, etc. It only gets worse the longer you stay, leaving is tricky as well….whether you have kids with the bastard or not, you are essentially seen as His PROPERTY. There are too many stats on the abuser killing the wife, family members, kkkops and even a judge or two for interfering. Some of the bozos even kill their OWN CHILDREN because that would hurt you more, over a longer period. I would NEVER advocate staying with an abuser, the brother that wrote the play is the one that said “you deserve what you get for staying”. A young brother here killed his baby mama in front of their two young kids, then went on the run….she was getting abused since they started dating in high school and their oldest is 4!! She didn’t deserve to die, now he is looking at life in prison. I have NO SYMPATHY for them whatsoever.
Thanks but no thanks lischelle. I experience enough of it at work, I know the hatred out there and I do not partake in the white media or watch any videos of racism on my off time. I just can’t stomach anymore of it when on my own time.
“No thanks….”
Not a problem Alicia, I totally understand the “sitting around collecting hurts” when you don’t have to.
@Sister Courtney
I have listened to Harvey’s video.
There is a double standard in society as Harvey accurately stated. A wicked, white cop raped many black women and this story has not been massively covered by the media at all. That’s a total disgrace and an outrage. The cop Daniel Holtzclaw is a total barbarian and sick person. He stalked black women and targeted women for rape and other forms of abuse. This story makes me very angry. This male cop (not man since he doesn’t know the meaning of the word man) should be in prison. The Sisters, who were the victims, should have their voices respected. No one should be a victim of any crime at all. I have my views about Bill Cosby. It is what it is.
Likewise, in this racist society, black people are treated worse than white people. That’s just a fact. The story of Holtzclaw refutes the “white savior” myth. Back in the day, we called this myth the “great white father” and so forth. Just because a white man exists in the world doesn’t mean that he is a savior. No white man is God. God created Black people as the first humans for a reason. I hope that Holtzclaw is convicted of all of the charges.
At the end of the day, white racists view black women as sexual objects. The stories of Strum Thummond, etc. document this truism. No black man and no black woman should be exploited or mistreated. Many black people have been falsely accused and sent to prison throughout history. Also, a great point is to be made. Black women are the most slandered, disrespected, and mistreated women on the face of the Earth (as said by the heroic Brother Malcolm X). So, the major point that I got from the video is that we have to use discernment and never let our guards down when dealing with the evils found in the world. Black people of both genders have to unite and fight the real enemy. The real enemy is not black people. The real enemy is white racists and the system of racism/white supremacy. We don’t want the one percent to control the majority of the wealth in this Earth. We want wealth to be fairly distributed, we want black people of the Diaspora and all over the world to have liberation, and we desire an end to injustice. These are the quintessential things that we want.
Peace and Blessings to you Sister Courtney. 🙂
God Bless You.
Thank you, Brother Timothy, for watching Harvey’S v oh sdeo. He told a lot of truths, and I agree with your response.
God bless you, too, Brother.
🙂
@Sister Courtney
P.S. I didn’t know that you and many other Sisters have relatives from the military. A lot of us do.
I am not an Army brat, but I have many relatives in the military.
Bless your family.
Timothy, maybe you can enlighten me on why Vets, especially black Vets are so maligned in our community. I have one son still in Af-Pak and he ONLY re-upped because he couldn’t BUY a job in the world when he did his first tour.
I can understand them not liking kkkops living in the hood – that is because of their bad behaviors might get peeped. However, I have several male members in my family that work in all levels of law enforcement….including the FBI, and they get the same “funny looks” as well. One uncle is just a Mall Cop, and he gets it too!! I don’t get it, since if you live in the hood there is some crime going down!! News at 5 is not exaggerating that fact
I’m still wondering how these shows with mostly black casts are allowing it so that the token white female is the only one married. That is so strange to me. Why would they do that and why allow it?
Alicia,
,Actors do not PRODUCE the shows you see on TV, so they have to go along with what the Producer says will “attract viewers”. Some actors, like John Amos from good times, who refuse to go along with the poor, but happy Negro MYTH are written out of the show and sometimes even blackballed in HollyWierd so they can’t work at all.
Alicia:
I’d state with all of the information that I do have available, JEWS run Freakwood (Hollywood), but they are WHITE first before they were JEWS. I place jews and whites in the SAME category, both are from the same RACE and at the end of the day?
Both can be equally RACIST. Have never trusted either one.
Alicia and Phazex,
trust me on this one….the black actors don’t complain because they are only an EMPLOYEE. They are not the ones that are PRODUCING the film and the writers are typically white with their own I
“image” of what black people do and say. It’s all FICTION
@ Everybody:
Here is an interesting article:
http://atlantablackstar.com/2015/12/01/7-shameful-examples-of-concentration-camps-created-for-black-people/
@Sister Courtney
Good Afternoon Sister. 🙂
Thank you very much for showing the link about how our black people have been placed into concentration camps. Black youth especially should know about this information, because life for us hasn’t been a crystal stair. We have been oppressed worldwide. Many of our people suffered the Holocaust, suffered murder by the British in Kenya, and other tragedies. We remember the victims of injustice and we are inspired to stand up for what is right. This is what our ancestors would want us to do and what the Most High would want us to do as well. We have a long way to go. Yet, we have hope and we will continue to execute righteous actions.
Thank you, Brother Timothy, for your comments. I agree that our young people need to be taught about this history, because many of them don’t know about it
And you are are welcome! 🙂
@Sister Courtney
I totally agree with you. You have shown great words and thanks for your words. Black people are entitled to know the truth.
@ Brother Timothy:
Thank you, Brother. 🙂
@Sister Courtney
You’re Welcome Sister. 🙂
Have a Great, Blessed Day.
” I was in the south, or rather my brothers were…when Emmett Till was murdered, so I know the consequences of not knowing this system first hand.”
“Thank you very much.” Many times I have given the above words just thought and LOOK at our babies (and others) and wonder…besides education, how to get the messages to them that they ARE a “continual endangered species.” I am not yet an “old heard,” so to speak. But I do have common sense to know that these are very telling and chilling words. And…one of my biggest fears for us as black people. Again, thank you on behalf of all of us posters.
Phazex,
Education is KEY to saving later generations of black people. MOTHERS MUST talk to their young’uns about ALL of black history, the good and the bad are necessary lessons to keep them from going down Bamboozle Blvd. Self-hating black folks are a dime a dozen, just like Pulpit Pimps who advance their slavery via some religious psychobabble. Looks like white folks are losing their mind today, and it may be STOCHASTIC terrorism which is the use of mass communication to incite random actors to commit violence. That is why this particular thread is of vital importance in our survival in this country.
We MUST re-learn the arts of discernment and CRITICAL THINKING, which is NOT taught in any school…not even to white kids. We fought, marched and died for the right to obtain an education, and now school isn’t safe because some other kid has social issues?!?! Give me a break; now you can’t go to church either and feel safe…smh. Stop waiting for whites to “do the right thing” because it will never happen. Start learning and teaching your own history to the young ones, and don’t accept no, its boring, its in black and white or any other excuse from a child. You’re the adult, act like it and put partying on the bottom of your list of things to do. If you don’t know the answer to a question, ask an elder….you’d be surprised what elders know and never share because you never voiced interest in what happened to black people in the Deep South. Did you know that we could get killed for “reckless eyeballing”? Which is essentially what happened to Emmett Till, no rape or even touching…he just looked at the wrong W F!!
“Preach!” (and it is my hope that others are “lending an ear as well.”) 🙂
@lischelle
I agree with you that education and critical thinking must be taught to our youth. You have made excellent points about how society is.
Thanks Phazex,
forgot to mention that FATHERS are equally important in their childrens lives, because they can teach them STREET smarts. It isn’t just white people that want to keep our people on Bamboozle Blvd., I was married to a pimp so I know. Beware of Shimps as well, Greed Heads come in many forms, and I do wish that my father had taught me about those with a Silver Tongue, and no ethical backbone to save their life!!
@ Lischelle:
lol…yep smokescreens and mirrors. “The Devil has a brilliant smile–when you first meet him.”
TO ALL:
Please read the information below, then look up the info on another site for clarification because the Council of Concerned Citizens is feeding into the nonsense that black people were indentured servants and were the FIRST slave masters in America!! My father told me there were free black people, but that was hundreds of years later and limited to a few colonys in the north. These racists today are still trying to deny that slavery, racism and white supremacy ever existed!
“According to colonial records, the first slave owner in the United States was a black man.
Prior to 1655 there were no legal slaves in the colonies, only indentured servants. All masters were required to free their servants after their time was up. Seven years was the limit that an indentured servant could be held. Upon their release they were granted50 acres of land. This included any Negro purchased from slave traders. Negros were also granted 50 acres upon their release.
Anthony Johnson was a Negro from modern-day Angola. He was brought to the US to work on a tobacco farm in 1619. In 1622 he was almost killed when Powhatan Indians attacked the farm. 52 out of 57 people on the farm perished in the attack. He married a female black servant while working on the farm.
When Anthony was released he was legally recognized as a “free Negro” and ran a successful farm. In 1651 he held 250 acres and five black indentured servants. In 1654, it was time for Anthony to release John Casor, a black indentured servant. Instead Anthony told Casor he was extending his time. Casor left and became employed by the free white man Robert Parker.
Anthony Johnson sued Robert Parker in the Northampton Court in 1654. In 1655, the court ruled that Anthony Johnson could hold John Casor indefinitely. The court gave judicial sanction for blacksto own slave of their own race. Thus Casor became the first permanent slave and Johnson the first slave owner.
Whites still could not legally hold a black servant as an indefinite slave until 1670. In that year, the colonial assembly passed legislation permitting free whites, blacks, and Indians the right to own blacks as slaves.
By 1699, the number of free blacks prompted fears of a “Negro insurrection.” Virginia Colonial ordered the repatriation of freed blacks back to Africa. Many blacks sold themselves to white masters so they would not have to go to Africa. This was the first effort to gently repatriate free blacks back to Africa. The modern nations of Sierra Leone and Liberia both originated as colonies of repatriated former black slaves.
However, black slave owners continued to thrive in the United States.
By 1830 there were 3,775 black families living in the South who owned black slaves. By 1860 there were about 3,000 slaves owned by black households in the city of New Orleans alone.”
@ Sister LIschelle:
WTF?????
Courtney, I do a LOT of searches on black history facts and like to present them to others just to increase their knowledge of our “Hidden History”. The Council of Conservative Citizens, is a racist group that has contacts in politics and especially at the Administrative Level so they can influence laws that negatively impact the black community. They sent this information to help boost the negative image always portrayed of black people in the media and elsewhere in European societies across the planet.
I repeatedly have white people on FB tell me that only Africans sold blacks into slavery, while that may be true in some cases, the CCC is telling their members that chattel slavery DID NOT exist. Black people owned and enslaved other black people, and as this link of information shows they were often given 50 acres of land and a mule and often better off than white people of the early 1600s. The CCC is always coming up with dubious info to say that black people don’t deserve reparations because we weren’t always “slaves for life” which is a bald faced lie!!
If you feel it isn’t relevant to the subject matter, have Trojan Pam delete it…no problem.
@lishelle
You’re right.
Spain and Portugal originated the slave trade and had slaves in the Americas during the 1500’s. So, that fact alone refute the white racist lies. These white racists are vicious and want to deny the Maafa. The Maafa was the most brutal Holocaust in human history.
“Spain and Portugal originated the slave trade and had slaves in the Americas during the 1500’s. So, that fact alone refute the white racist lies…”
Exactly Timothy, and I am getting real tired of these racists throwing this crap around so other black people may buy into this B S from the CCC. They have combined over 600 years of chattel slavery into a 50 year lifespan of an isolated incident involving an African from Angola that lived free all his life, and NOT the average Negro who was enslaved for life.
@lischelle
Yes, the CCC has been involved in anti-civil rights propaganda as outlined by Sister Courtney. Also, the Texas Board of Education has textbooks that promotes revisionist lies about slavery (which some books called just a “migration” instead of kidnapping and genocide) and about the Civil War. It’s that deep. This white racists want to whitewash and the suppress the crimes of their white ancestors. This is part of the war that we are in. I thank God for real black scholars doing great work. The CCC do have ties to the Klan. I recall a black mother in America getting textbooks changed since those textbooks sugarcoated the brutality of slavery. The Pilgrims and Puritans were well known to have enslaved black people and Native Americans. I heard of the CCC for years. They believe in overt white nationalism which is nothing more than white supremacy. They are part of the neo-Confederate movement (which supports the Confederacy instead of the Union), so the CCC is an enemy of black people. Black people will continue to fight for justice.
Thanks Timothy, they only recently came up on my radar, but I concur they are a white nationalist group….that is the first thing to pop up on my search earlier today. I’ll look for more information at the SPLC site tomorrow.
“…Jacques-Chirac-africa-destruction
Today, If you want to see the glory of Africa, you have to go to Europe, where thousands and thousands of stolen arts objects, civilization artifacts are in public museums and private collection (in UK, France, Germany, Belgium, Germany, etc.). If you want to see the wealth of Africa, you have also to go to Europe where they are stored in private and public accounts. 5 centuries of plundering and destruction brought the continent to its knees.
African-art-pieces-in-Europe
As PD Lawton put it “From Egypt to the Sudan, from Mali to Tanzania, from Zimbabwe to Mozambique, Africa is full of the testimony to her past. In many cases the complete destruction of structures has not been through natural elements but deliberate acts, most notably of the British Empire. The museums of Britain and Europe are full of the results of` pillage and plunder`. There are numerous ancient structures that are in a state of good preservation but in the case of many of Africa`s cities, palaces, temples and trading ports of old we are left with nothing other than the written reports and drawings of traders and travellers from medieval times to the final days of complete destruction in the late 1800s.In terms of beauty and even on occasion scale the architecture of Egypt`s pyramids pale in comparison to other African historical structures. The diversity of architecture from this continent is staggering. The use traditionally of what is termed fractal scaling in building highlights a religious tradition practiced throughout the continent. Fractal scaling is the `Mandelbrot` idea of architecture where the smallest parts of a structure resemble the largest parts. This cultural/religious tradition was/is practised in all aspects of life from weaving, to grinding cereals to the building of homes and palaces and is the incorporation of `history` and explanation of the Universe and our place within it, into everyday lives, lest we forget.” – “Africa Before The 20Th Century” in “Invisible Empire”.
We need to invest time and resources to unearth ourselves the ruins of our old cities to strengthen the faith of a young generation in our ability to rebound.
It’s time we revive in the mind of a new generation of Africans the true nature of their ancestors, the past glory of their empires, the pride of its warriors, conquerors and civilization builders, and clearly make them understand that the 5 “Centuries of Shame” under European occupation shall end with a new generation of Leaders and Builders!
5 century ago, when europeans arrived into africa they found the people were so advanced, wealthier, and were impressed by the abundance of nature and civility of its people. European became so jealous, and bitter, and knew they could conquer the people because the people were so kind, so welcoming, and have no gun or mounted mechanized armies as their….”
Timothy and ALL,
we are the result of FIVE CENTUTURIES of plunder during the Maafa.
@Lischelle
@Timothy
@ Courtney H.
Thank you all for your feedback on how the Council of Concerned Citizens and many others are trying to re-write history and say that slavery, racism and white supremacy never existed when in fact THEY know it happened and still happening. I think their main goal is to get us black people to deny it and getting us black people to deny that slavery existed is what I fear the most. They tried this same foolishness with the Jews by stating that the Jewish Holocaust did not occur in Nazi Germany and that evil-doing was heavily documented and was even in more recent times.
Timothy, I also read where the Texas Board of Education has textbooks that promote these lies that slavery did not exist as we know it. You are correct when you say it is deep and I think that some of this is driven by a guilty conscious on the racists’ part to try to get out of the crimes that they have committed against our people. I am also grateful for real black scholars for doing their best to stay on top of this. You, Lischelle, Courtney, Trojan Pam and many others on these blogs should give yourselves credit, because you are scholars in a way also.
You mentioned that the Pilgrims and Puritans were well known to have enslaved black people and Native Americans. Something I would like to mention that is overlooked is about the Quakers, who were missionary-minded whites. The Quakers were often given a lot of credit for trying to help blacks but they still viewed white people as supreme. They even had the nerve to think that the slaves were still children of God because they had a soul, but their souls were just not equal to that of white people. Can you believe that?
I agree with you when you stated “this is part of the war that we are in.” I also believe they are really testing us to see how far they can go with us by trying to rewrite our history, this rash of publicized killing of black people, imprisonments with long sentences, and the list goes on. It is like dealing with children; the more they think they can get away, the more they test you.
“…The Quakers were often given a lot of credit for trying to help blacks but they still viewed white people as supreme.

Of course I believe it Sharon53, you may not know about it but on a favorite Western TV series “The Lone Ranger”, his sidekick Native American pal had the only TAKEAWAY line that people of color remember and use frequently – “White man speak with forked tongue.” They do it all the time because we were never socialized in the ART of the Lie, at least not until we became assimilated into Western culture.
” I agree with you when you stated “this is part of the war that we are in.” I also believe they are really testing us to see how far they can go with us by trying to rewrite our history, this rash of publicized killing of black people, imprisonments with long sentences, and the list goes on.

Exactly sharon53, and we must resist this B S with every fiber of our being and ENSURE that our children learn our own history. Otherwise, our elders and Ancestors fought and died for nothing. My newest suggestion is to watch “Avatar”, then read – ON THIS SITE!! – 100 African Cities Destroyed by Europeans. We have to stop re-inventing the wheel of history every time they distract us with another extrajudicial murder by the kkkops or some wanabe. I am NOT saying that they aren’t important, but some of us didn’t get the memo that they still HATE black people and they want us to die broke, busted and disgusted. If I wasn’t afraid for the backlash sure to come, I would welcome some brothers going postal!! We are expected to remain silent and subservient when black people are killed for merely existing in this country!! If the shoe was on the other foot, there would be riots and wanton killings of random blacks everywhere!! They wouldn’t put up with this for a MONTH, let alone for years and expect everyone to “remain calm”!!
Below is the REAL events of the time…and I got it from Wikipedia, not the racist, nutters at the Council of Conservative Citizens (had to look it up for the correct name).
“Significance of Casor suit
The Casor suit demonstrates the culture and mentality of planters in the mid-17th century. Individuals made assumptions about the society of Northampton County and their place in it. According to historians T.R. Breen and Stephen Innes, Casor believed he could form a stronger relationship with his patron Robert Parker than Anthony Johnson had formed over the years with his patrons. Casor considered the dispute to be a matter of patron-client relationship, and this wrongful assumption ultimately lost him the court and the decision. Johnson knew that the local justices shared his basic belief in the sanctity of property. The judge sided with Johnson, although in future legal issues, race played a larger role.[21]
The Casor suit was an example of how difficult it was for Africans who were indentured servants to keep from being reduced to slavery. Most African immigrants could not read and had almost no knowledge of the English language. Planters found it easy to force them into slavery by refusing to acknowledge the completion of their indentured contracts.[1] This is what happened in Johnson v. Parker. Although two white planters who confirmed that Casor had completed his indentured contract with Johnson, the court still ruled in Johnson’s favor.[22]…”
@ Lischelle:
Thank you so much for providing this information. The CCC was the leading promoter of white supremacist violence in the South during the 1960s; the KKK just did their dirty work.
They are the promoter of lies about slavery in the U.S., just like the Texas Board of Education that changed the textbooks to downplay slavery and other atrocities in American history.
“…The CCC was the leading promoter of white supremacist violence in the South during the 1960s; the KKK just did their dirty work….”
Wow….thank YOU Courtney!! I have been involved in politics all of my adult life and never knew this before. Rest assured that I WILL research they HAYell out of them now!! Thanks again.
@ Lischelle:
Yes ma’am! Indeed.
Phazex_Female
@Phazex Female
Amen, Sister Lischelle has great honesty and passion that we all appreciate and love a great deal.
Thanks Phazex, and you too Timothy,
Be cautious around the GreedHeads that just happen to also be people of color, whether friend, foe or family. When people show you who they are, believe it the first time or you will end up like me – ALONE. Fortunately, I happen to like me….A LOT. Why that bothers my parents other children just boggles my mind, or rather it used to….not anymore though.
One thing that I noticed about SOME people of color is how they mimic the Terror Tactics of the dominant culture, but only on other people of color unfortunately. There is a book that I cherish above all others. As it turns out, one of my nursing school pals was very afro-centric in mind, but kept it in check….at least at school. Seems that her parents had researched “Queen Nzinga” and wrote a biographical book about her and her first encounters with Europeans. I suggest that all of you get a copy and make sure that your offspring read it as well. My own takeaway from this book was that not all African tribes/nations had reading and especially writing in their society, they relied only on the village griots of the time. Since nature abhors a vacuum, our history was replaced with a European version of Africa and Africans. They taught the queen how to read and write, which proved invaluable when the invaders finally came to take the people and the land. Since I kept a diary anyway, this book only emphasized how important education really is. I document EVERYTHING, and while it always pissed off my parents other children for years, I am so glad that I did because it made it easier to LET THEM GO without regrets. Get a copy of the book, or read it online but DO read it please, she was a WARRIOR Queen and deserves to be remembered for saving her village.
@lischelle
I will research more about Queen Nzingha.
She was a hero. Next, year, I’m going to do much more in depth research on black heroes and other facets of World History. We can’t trust those who want to harm our growth. We are in one community and we in one fight for our liberation. European racists are evil, cut throat, and very wicked. So, they are what they are. We have to learn lessons from Sisters like Queen Nzingha and realize that how we treat Nature and our cultural heritage is how we treat ourselves.
“…We have to learn lessons from Sisters like Queen Nzingha and realize that how we treat Nature and our cultural heritage is how we treat ourselves.”
So very true, Timothy. If you would think of your offspring as your “legacy”, I think that it would go a long way too establishing a positive mind-set on how to reach and teach them for the future. I am NOT fishing for personal information about your personal life Timothy, just using “your” as a general term. I have to get off the internet now, my internet is going cattywhompus.
@ Everybody:
Here is more info about Queen Nzingha:
http://www.blackpast.org/gah/queen-nzinga-1583-1663
@Sister Courtney
Good Afternoon Sister Courtney 🙂
I certainly love Black Past and their resources. Thank you for showing information on Queen Nzingha. She was a heroic black woman. In 2016, I’m definitely going to research more in depth about Africa and world history matters. It is important to know our heroes and the Portuguese are some of the most brutal imperialists in history. Portugal was one of the first nations that started the Maafa. Vasco da Gama was a Portuguese explorer too. Nzinga Mbande fought against the slave trade and she will always be praised for her sacrifice, for her love for our black people, and for her wisdom.
Bless Nature and Bless the Ancestors.
Also, one more thing,
Bless you 🙂
Forgot to say Thank You for considering my other post held some merit, Phazex
I saw this commentary somewhere, this site? I cannot recall exactly where. But I kept it for personal reasons. Please read, your “spin” on this is welcome.
Everyone BENEFITS from our “slave mentality” but US. WHAT could happen if BLACK people suddenly woke up from this deep, mind-control, dreamlike SLEEP? And our AWAKENING would be a threat to non-blacks including Koreans who sell us “hair” and the Arabs who fry what is left on our heads and fry the fish that we use to cook ourselves or buy from our own people in their black restaurant?
WHAT could happen if BLACK people suddenly work up from this deep, mind-control, dreamlike SLEEP?
• Tens of thousands of TOXIC fried fish, chicken and Chinese Food restaurants would go out of business.
• Most Korean “hair shops” would go out of business.
• Arabs would stop frying our hair and go out of business.
• TV shows like “The Young and the Restless” would go off of the air.
• TV shows like “Scandal” and “Empire” and “The House of Payne” that degrade our humanity would disappear from the airwaves.
• White people would have to make “gangsta rap” because we have too much respect to degrade ourselves for ANY amount of money.
• The designer fashion industry would take a huge hit because we would not be buying over-priced shoes, purses or clothing from people who don’t appreciate our business and do not hire Black models for Fashion Week.
• At least half of the Payday Loans and Title Loan places would have to go out of business.
• Some prisons would have to shut down because we would find better ways to support ourselves than harming each other and go to jail.
• It would be a lot harder to get us into the bed with non-black persons because we would understand that it makes no sense to have sex with anyone who does not respect you.
• And the non/white non/black would face more racism because we would not be such easy targets anymore.
• These are on the SHORT list of things that we need to do so that the number of businesses and industry would suffer MAJOR economic losses.
Which is why NO ONE wants us to wake-up—whites and other non-white groups. I recall several years ago, when a BLACK couple made a conscious decision to utilize only Black vendors, some Whites were in an uproar! But the coupled prevailed and guess what? It did make a difference in their lives. (And on that note, if any posters still have this story available, please share the link with me and others. Thank you!)
And I thought, why is it “acceptable” for other non-white people to implement and support their own businesses yet considered “racist” for Black people to do the same? And a “problem” when black people support their own people?(I’m still laughing at this irrational mind-set.)
The WORSE-case scenario?: Other non-blacks do not have to worry about competing with non-existent Black businesses. In fact, as one poster here stated, “the only time that they generally have contact with us is when our hands/palms touch theirs with the exchange of money.
I have a dream….
@Phazex Female
Excellent Words Sister.
This might be the link about the black couple that you are talking about:

Supporting our own people is righteous and it’s common sense.
@ Timothy
I read a book about the Anderson family supporting black own business for a year which was originally called “The Black Experiment”. It was a good book. The family caught hell because whites were calling them racist in which they were pissed off the money wasn’t going back to their non black communities. Ebony magazine threaten to sue the Anderson family if they didn’t change their original project name “The Ebony Experiment.” When I read what “Ebony Magazine” did I completely stopped supporting the magazine even though I was never a fan of the magazine. Furthermore, Assata Shakur & E. Franklin Frazier already call “Ebony Magazine” out before.
@Shanequa
The Anderson family did a righteous act. Their action is not racist despite what the haters have to say. Asians, Jewish people, white ethnic groups, Arabic people, etc. do this all of time. They are never condemned for being racists, but when black people support their own businesses and enterprises, then we’re condemned. That tells me that when we support of our own and stand up for our heritage, non-blacks freak out. We have the power and we just have to use it in a higher level. That’s great of you to read their book. Ebony threatening to sue them if they didn’t change the name of their book is totally petty on the part of Ebony. This family sacrificed for their people and they should be commended for their actions. Many black people have called out Ebony before. Assata Shakur did it is very interesting. Assata is a glorious Sister. 🙂
E. Franklin Frazer was a great scholar who did great work in sociology.
@Timothy
For the last 25 years, I have made an effort to support at least one black business every week, even though I usually support more than that over a week’s time. I even get a lot of lip from other blacks, stating the black owners do nothing but turn around and take their money or resources right out of the black community by buying from whites, or black business are too high, the quality is not as good, and the list goes on. I don’t waste too much time trying to explain, but do let them know that at the end of day, I have tried to do my part.
@Sharon53
You are doing your part Sister. Sister, you should be commended for supporting black businesses. The haters constantly patronize non-blacks who distrust them, call them names behind their backs, and act discourteous or disrespectful to them, but they want to slander black businesses collectively. We know that there are plenty of black businesses with quality services, with strength, and with great hospitality. Unity is important to follow and it is a key for us to survive in the future. You should never apologize for helping out your people. Black people including black business owners are known for concern for the poor, charity, etc. In fact, we are very well known to be trusting. So, Do you.
Bless you for your contributions.
I think either Ms. Pam or DOWN made this comment. Anyway, likewise I save comments like this one. Very good question, when others support their businesses it is not considered racist I also noticed when taking a look around Stormfront they copy us too. Like promoting White shopping at white businesses in imitation of Black people advocating shopping at Black owned businesses, or ideaology like white power, borrowed from the concept of Black Power. Funny how that works.
*DOAN* not down:)
Darn auto correct got me again!
@Phazex_Female
The link to that quote is:
Dixie Honkey Speaks the Truth About Why White People Are Scared and the URL is
http://racismws.com/2015/04/07/58255/
Trojan Pam posted the information in that link.
Thank you, Sharon> Years ago I studied E. Franklin Frazier, Julia and Nathan Hare, etc. As I stated before I have an ever growing Library in my home to the point I now have to ask relatives, friends, comrades, etc. to “check” out books now…lol! And “thank you” to Shanequa about the title of the book regarding the Andersons. I plan on getting and reading the book over this “vendor” holiday.
I have found that “when you know better, you do better.” Though a large segment of teaching adults does include basic skills, I have found that, for me, the hardest thing to influence or change is a MIND-SET. Or what I call a “shared group mentality.” Breaking away from the herd, so to speak, is not easy for everyone to accomplish and it took me quite awhile to accept that. However, as usual, keep hope alive! is always, always on the horizon.
Yes, white people ARE scared of our black people. And not only for just the reasons that Trojan Pam has stated. Whites are continually trying to breed our race out OR outright kill our people. Our race USED to be 13% of the population, but now the numbers have dwindled. And also whites also realize that more and more blacks ARE “waking up” from a long time slumber. I do believe that black liberation WILL happen. However, just like it took only TWO generations of Hispanics to surge forth? It will take at least SIX of our generation to undo 500+ years of indoctrination and slave mentalities before we as a race see any real results. For many of the mentalities that we see are only a “trickle down” effect of slavery.
One of the areas, I believe, where white supremacy has done irreparable damage is the black family unit. There WAS a time when one could count on family to be more supportive than we see today. Again, “variables” do factor into why this is. For example, I have an older sibling that is a Probation Officer and when our family gets together and discuss an array of subject matter, my sibling tells us that one of the biggest problems that ex-felons face is that of (1) little to no family support and (2) re-entry back into the work force–no matter how “minor” the crime committed was. With that being said, I think that there are at least four key and critical areas that we, as black people should examine: ego, individualist thinking, low self-esteem and delayed gratification. Perhaps these may offer a clue into our plethora or problems besides white supremacy.
@ Everyone
I know some of y’all have seen or heard about the 1992 movie “Candyman” that has symbolism of racism in the movie. Its about a white woman doing the research of a urban legend about a black male being lynch for having a relationship with a white woman during slavery days. The setting is in Chicago in the Cabrini Green Project that is mostly a poor black residents. The beginning of the movie open up with the Sears Tower being engulf with by a swarm of bees a phallic symbol. The symbolism is all in the movie a black male terrorizing a white woman. During the lynch scene Candyman hand was cut off as opposed to the customary genital mutilation of black males. They later had honey pour all over his body then he was allegedly killed by being stung to death by bees. A massive hook was replace for his hand in which he kills his victims with by inserting into genital areas of his victims. There was a scene when Candyman pushes his hook up the dress of a helpless white woman whose the main character in the movie. At the end of the film the White woman savior risk her life saving a black infant baby. The black male “Candyman” is publicly lynch again by being burn to the stake just like old times. This is one racist movie a lot of black people fail to call out as well.
P.S.
Candyman must had a lot of self-hate in him because most of the victims he was killing & terrorizing were black people in his community then oppose to the one’s that really killed him who were white. But end the end Candyman still died trying to have a white woman.
@ Shanequa:
I watched that movie a long time ago.
@ Courtney H
This movie rubs me the wrong way.
@ Shanequa:
I remember watching that movie, but not noticing what you mentioned. However, thinking back, I realize that the things that you pointed about the movie is spot-on.
@Courtney H
I understand your point because back then we weren’t fully awake as we are now.
@Sister Courtney
I watched the video from Solomon.
Here are my views. He made many great points about Trump. There are some black people who will suck up to extremists unfortunately. Trump is trying to court the black vote, but his views are antithetical to the interests of black people. Trump disrespected the innocent Central Park Five and he has been accused of using his company to discriminate against black people. He has said many racist, sexist, and xenophobic statements. Trump is certainly a racist despite the words form the black puppets supporting him. Many of the people in the press conference look confused, intimidated, scared, and submissive to the agenda of racism/white supremacy. He or Solomon is right to call out Hollywood for its racism and promoting false stereotypes against black people from Birth of a Nation to movies of the present. Black people have been slandered a great deal by Hollywood. There is nothing wrong with black people setting up our own independent films and documentaries. That is such more more rewarding than submitting to the interests of Hollywood. the Gods of Egypt is blatantly historically revisionist since a lot of black Africa did live, work, and led in ancient Egypt for thousands of years. We should use self-determination to solve our own problems. We are Black and Beautiful.
Thank you for showing the video Sister 🙂
@ Brother Timothy:
Thank you for watching the video. It is longer than most of Prince Solomon*s videos, since he discussed three topics instead of one or two, as usual. He also spent a lot of video discussing Hollyweird*s history of attacking Black people through stereotypes. The director John Singleton said years ago that Black people should watch **Birth of a Nation** because it created stereotypes that have been used to justify hatred and violence against Black people since. I like what he said about Black people making their own movies instead of complaining about Hollyweird*s depictions of us. Hollyweird will never respect Black people.
I agree with your comments about Trump as well, and that is all that I will say, because I don*t want to talk about him.
It was a very good, well-informed video.
May you have a blessed weekend! 🙂
@Timothy
I agree that Trump is a racist. When I had a TV I use to watch The Apprentice and it was obvious he was a white supremacist, racist, and sexist by the choices he made on that show. If you ever watched that show, it stood out like a sore thumb. Something else I noticed about him that I have absolute zero tolerance for and that is he thrives off conflict. He is not happy unless there is a lot of trauma and drama. I would not want someone like that in charge because this country would probably stay in a war.
@Sister Courtney
I agree with your response to me.
Have a Blessed Weekend too Sister. 🙂
@ Brother Timothy:
Thank you.
@ Sister Sharon53:
I never watched **The Apprentice** because I do not like reality shows. I agree that if Trump were elected president, he would get the U.S. into a war, since he likes drama so much.
@Shanequa
I have heard of the movie Candyman. I have never heard of its complete plot before. I have not seen the movie before except for a few seconds and then I just changed the channel. That plot is very disturbing and sick. Hollywood has always placed a black person as the stereotypical “bad guy” when white racists have brutalized our people for centuries. The symbolism and the plot shows how this movie is racist and disturbing at the same time. The unconditional praise of all white women is part of the agenda of white supremacy. The truth is that progressive, courageous black women deserve all of the praise in the world.
Thank you for your information.
@Timothy thank you
@Shanequa
You’re Welcome Sister.
I’m happy to have a job but dear God will this bull with white men obsessed with maligning black women EVER end? It’s like a strange obsession. From my white co-worker acting like I should be jealous whenever he talks about his wife, to white men trying to control and hinder the black males from talking to me, I mean dear God.
“I’m happy to have a job but dear God will this bull with white men obsessed with maligning black women EVER end? …”
LOL!! You’re cute Alicia, but it looks to me like they are trying to convince everyone that this is indeed post-racial America but we know that it isn’t. Black people need to wake up about our own history among these savages or we’ll have to re-invent the wheel all over again….with regard to knowing our history that is.
@lischelle
Thank you for your words Sister. Yes, white racists have lusted after lands to steal for a long time. Learning is a life time process. We are still learning about Black History. I also like to learn about the African Diaspora.
Understood Timothy, suggest that you and others with similar interests check out the Runoko Rashidi website. He has a global research site which gave me a lot of information on the Maafa and every country where there are large groups of black people.
@lischelle
it is very interesting that you mentioned information about Runoko Rashidi. When I was a teenager (back during the late 1990’s and early 2000’s), I read literature from Runoko Rashidi’s website in a great deal. He was one of the first people that I read that made me understood real black history in another level. Also, Runoko has traveled to places all over the world to investigate, research, and teach people about black history. i appreciate your words and your research on the evil group CCC. Runoko does have great information about the African Diaspora. We, as black people, are part of the struggle for liberation.
@Everyone
Check out this article.

@Sharon53
I agree with you on Trump. He is exploiting the recent massacre in California as an excuse for him to promote more war mongering and Islamophobia. He is overt in his views about what he wants, which isn’t good. Trump is a divisive person and he thrives on conflict. The Apprentice show disrespected the first black winner on the show. That is why the black man doesn’t want anything to do with him. Also, the black women on the show were mistreated as well. In a situation where we have to deal with domestic and foreign policy issues, we don’t need an unstable person as President.
I will comment on the two links that you have shown very soon in more detail.
Thank you for your commentaries.
@everyone
Another article I thought was interesting:
http://www.patheos.com/blogs/godisnotarepublican/2015/12/the-systematic-castration-of-the-black-preacher/
@Sharon53
On Siri:
Siri is totally wrong and it is revolting for anyone to slander black women in vile words. Black women are the mothers of human civilization. Anyone on this Earth who slanders black women in an offensive and derogatory fashion is a person that I have no respect for at all. We have the epidemic of misogynoir in the world and we will continue to fight misogynoir until it is defeated. No black woman should be called out of her name. As Sister Pam has mentioned, we have to be civil with each other as black people and respect each other as human beings. We have the right to withdrawal support from any company or entity that doesn’t respect black people. Therefore, we should not support Siri, but we ought to support black media and any black institutions promoting our interests.
On the Religious article:
I read it. It was a very eloquent article. It showed the truth on many issues like of course God is not a Republican. The GOP is known for promoting militarism, economic injustice, discrimination, the War on Drugs, and other evils. We can look at the legacies of Reagan and George W. Bush to witness tht. Also, the article made the great point that many black pastors are more interested in advancing the status quo than advocating freedom and justice. Some pastors suck up to politicians among both major parties for corporate giveaways and prestige. We have a problem where some people, who are preachers, are afraid to preach truth to power like how we need economic justice, like how we need to oppose imperialism, and how we do need to have a cleaner environment. These issues resonate with progressive people. The article is certainly an outline of how spiritual deception is a problem and we can combat spiritual deception with the truth. We, as black people, are the originators of spirituality in general. Therefore, we have the great responsibility to not only better ourselves spiritually. Additionally, we have to help our communities too. Regardless if a black person is a Christian or not, we still need to advocate for black liberation. I do remember when Pastor Jeremiah Wright was criticized for just telling the truth about America’s crimes. Malcolm X was honest in criticizing America’s hypocrisies (James Cone has a great book on Malcolm X and spirituality too). Even Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. just before he died was about to preach a sermon entitled, “Why America May Go To Hell.” Therefore, we are in a battle for justice. We have to respect the poor. A true revolutionary always honor the poor (since the poor are heavily mistreated and oppressed by the super wealthy). Black people are entitled to liberation by birthright and we should advocate always the revolutionary spirit that our ancestors have advocated too.
Thank you for showing both links and Enjoy your Weekend Sister.
God Bless You.
@Sister Sharon53
Thank you for your words Sister.
Certainly, the CCC and other evil groups are rather overt in their nefarious agendas. They want to eliminate their guilt of the criminal actions of their ancestors as you have eloquently mentioned. It is a historical fact that black people were slaves at the hands of white racists and even other non-blacks. These evil people desire to rewrite history, because they want to deny the right of black people to talk about slavery, racism, and white supremacy courageously and without compromise. White racists organized the ships, the routes, the kidnapping, the land theft, and the genocide plus the rapes during the Maafa. The Maafa was created by European imperialist forces. Their actions prove that our enemies didn’t stop their malicious agenda during the 1960’s. They are continuing in their actions today. Our youth should know that we must defeat the system of white supremacy once and for all, so a system of justice can come about. I agree with you that these white racists want black people to deny slavery and deny that slavery existed. The truth is that slavery existed and the Maafa was the worst international war crime in human history. Black people were in enslaved in Africa, in the Americas, in India, in Saudi Arabia, in Iran, in Turkey, in Europe, etc. by whites and other non-blacks during the Maafa. These white racists certainly have done the same with Jewish people with their advocacy of Holocaust denial (which is a lie and an evil agenda).
The Holocaust or the Shoah was evil. Also, many black people died during the Holocaust. So, if these white racists deny the Holocaust, they also deny the black people (which included Afro-Germans, Black American soldiers, and other black people) who died in the concentration camps too. For the sake of our black ancestors, I will never forget. Nazi Germany was influenced by American white eugenicists (as Hitler was influenced by the evil forced sterilization laws of America) and they were funded by large Western multinational corporations too. This is deep. Real black scholars abound in the world and we respect their work totally. Thank you for your words about me, Lischelle, Courtney, Trojan Pam, and others. In my mind, you’re a black scholar too. 🙂 You’re right on the Quakers too. We own our black history and we will defend it. They or the racists are certainly trying to test us. We should never take their bait and speak truth to power.
The more that we unify, the more love that we show to our people, and the more constructive action that we execute, the better off that we will be as Black Brothers and Black Sisters.
“…When it would be more useful to be objective
Human psychological and emotional evolution has not caught up with the pace of social change in our world. For most people in western society, the ‘threats’ we face come not from external physical dangers but from interactions within our own social groups, our own families, our own workplaces. However, the feeling of threat triggers emotional subjective responses. But now our reactions can become counterproductive.
Complex situations need objectivity
In the complex situations that are characteristic of social groups, the ability to see the bigger picture and not get swept away by emotion is crucial. If you can stay calm, and help others to calm down, it becomes much easier to analyse situations of every sort clearly, and determine options rationally rather than emotionally.
This means that the decisions you make are likely to be much better, more effective decisions.. .”
Well said Timothy, and the above is something that I felt we ALL need to help develop our critical thinking skills, so we can start making LONG TERM plans and goals rather than constantly thinking short term and/or how to “get over” on someone else. I am NOT referring to anyone on this thread by the way, but I have noticed some of the sisters have experienced backstabbing by other blacks because “misery loves company” and/or white people just being themselves and undermining our best efforts. Saying “get over it” or “butch up” is counter-productive, IMO so maybe the above information can help in some small way.
I had my sons watch as many black oriented movies as I could, and I talked to them about adult events at an early age because I couldn’t be around them 24/7 since I had to work, but peer pressure in the hood with NO MAN input still put them at risk. While my intentions were good, them having to encounter dysfunctional family and other black people in the community was inevitable, they had no “street smarts” and I wasn’t aware that black people had started imitating whites bad behaviors WITH a ghetto spin. I was always hearing comments about me and my siblings having a house and I kept thinking “but we all went to college and have jobs, why would that make us undesirables in the black community?” That is the general mind-set in that Slave State….if are doing better than me and NOT breaking any laws, I’ll make sure you don’t enjoy it…just cause you think you better than er’body – that is not a typo, that is how they speak
Anyhoo, look it over and see if an emotional response is really your only option. I was working to save lives and didn’t have time for “emotions” to be my first reaction, things were moving too quickly usually. Everyone probably thought that I was a “cold fish” like my sister-in-law said once, but since I was married to her brother…..I just considered the source and ignored it.
@lischelle
It is important to think long term indeed. Life is a series of events. We have to know about our gifts, the real enemy, why the enemy placed us in the condition in which live in the first place, and act accordingly. Critical thinking skills are skills that are important, because we are human beings. Human beings have massive intelligence and we use our brains to evaluate environment, stand up for our rights, and make rational decisions. Street smarts is just as important as book smarts. We need to analyze information correctly and we ought to use commonsense when we deal with issues or various circumstances of life. Controlling our emotions is important. Also, there is a time and place for everything. Sometimes, it is fine to show a little emotion to celebrate a birthday or listening to some good music. Other times, there is no need to show a massive amount of emotions.
All correct statements and observations Timothy, my only concern with an emotional response by younger people as they learn their own history is because when I learn new things I get LIVID!! But I know that I don’t have backup or other support, I also know that I can’t change anything because I don’t align with any group here in Podunk, and I know that I don’t have family that I can talk to about these things let alone depend on for support if white supremacists do something stupid to me or my offspring. That goes double if it involves another black person; my uncle once told me that you never call the police on a black man……call them instead, I just looked at them like they had lost their mind, because at the time they lived FOUR STATES AWAY in Ohio!! I’m getting a beat down, but can’t call the police….smh.
Anyhoo, I hope that this link thingy works so that everyone can see that the STRUGGLE continues, there is no going back on the fight against racism.

@ Sister Liscelle:
Thank you, and you are welcome!
@Sister Luscelle:
Thank you for posting this! It was spot-on and very well-written!
@Sister Courtney
I agree with you completely Sister.
You are more than welcome Timothy AND Courtney, I am still FINDING information about black history and don’t want to LOSE it again to time and to those that really don’t care about their own history since it won’t give them any perks or money. I have no interest in enlightening black people that only want to “get over” on others….especially other blacks.
Below is something else that I stumbled across, it seems that we were DESIGNED to be enslaved into perpetuity and any time a black person becomes AWARE of this history, we are targeted for elimination or ridiculed as “delusional”. Europeans have traveled the globe TAKING people and resources from the original inhabitants then claiming GODDIDIT!!
‘Terra Nullius’! Translate it into English and you have a ‘Land that belongs to no-one’.
In International Law ‘terra nullius’ describes territory that nobody owns so that the first nation to discover it is entitled to take it over, as “finders keepers”. But how did this latin phrase, and the right of takeover, make such an impact on places that weren’t deserted”
@Sister lischelle
Thank you for showing the link. I read the link and it proves that post racial doctrines are myths. The Sister who wrote the article was spot on as well in exposing the murderer in South Carolina (I won’t say that murderer’s name anymore). Sister Shelby Jefferson is a great writer. We face tyranny back then and today. We are sympathize with your situation. You are our Sister, so we do care about you a great deal as Brothers and Sisters in the black community. You are very honest about your life. In terms of emotions, there should be balance. Balance is one of the most important concepts relating to humanity. It was embraced by our ancestors for thousands of years. We have no choice but to fight racism, because we want our black people to be liberated completely.
@ Lischelle:
Unfortunately, if an individual (esp. a female) calls the police “about a black male,” it CAN have devastating results. This was shared with me over the course of this past summer with a female. She was involved with a male whom her family did not like and one day, she and the now deceased male got into an altercation. One of her sisters was present and phoned for police assistance. The 911 operator kept asking if he had a gun? Later, the sibling told everyone that she did tell the told the 911 operator “no repeatedly,” but later no one believed her—until the inquest when the tape was played and indeed, she HAD told the 911 operator “no.”
The problem is that the police barged into the home and on the report wrote that “it looked like the suspect was reaching for a weapon” and RIDDLED him with bullets.
With black people, law enforcement most always “riddles” them with bullets? smdh…
This is one of the things that make you go hmmm?

I totally understand Timothy, BUT that means that black women are left vulnerable to any and all nutters on the planet! I can never advocate that black women should stay with a MALE that is a member of the Slap-A-Ho Tribe because she is also afraid of the kkkops and what they may do to him. They lynched black women and black children too! So some males need to learn to keep their abuse to themselves or another male if it comes to that.
Since I am not “allowed” to call the kkkops, and don’t want to involve family in more intra-racial violence then I’ll just have to take murder charge!! I do NOT have “Everlast” written across my forehead. Boyfriend better RECOGNIZE!!
I found this on the CCC –
“…Barbour’s name soon dropped from consideration. He was right that the Councils helped tamp down the Klan, which seemed uncouth to more buttoned-down segregationists, but once the fight against segregation had been lost, the Councils lost their raison d’etre and slowly faded away. In 1985, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups, a former CCA Midwest field director named Gordon Baum founded the Council of Conservative Citizens as a successor group. Among his co-founders was Lester Maddox, the one-time Georgia governor who rose to prominence after chasing black patrons from his restaurant with an ax handle.
The CCC is now, according to the SPLC, the nation’s largest white nationalist group and at its peak boasted 15,000 members. Though the CCC is sometimes described as “thinly veiled” white supremacists or the like, that’s misleading—it makes little secret of its agenda. (Nonetheless, Ann Coulter has previously stepped forward to defend the group from the white-supremacy attack.) In a statement of principles, the group says:
We believe that the United States derives from and is an integral part of European civilization and the European people …. We also oppose all efforts to mix the races of mankind, to promote non-white races over the European-American people through so-called “affirmative action” and similar measures, to destroy or denigrate the European-American heritage, including the heritage of the Southern people, and to force the integration of the races.
New members also receive a pamphlet about Martin Luther King Day co-written by the late racist Senator Jesse Helms. The Anti-Defamation League collects other examples of ties to hate groups and extremists.
The group also maintains ties overseas; in 1998, according to the white supremacist site American Renaissance, a delegation from the group “had the pleasure of presenting Jean-Marie Le Pen with a Confederate flag that had flown over the South Carolina state capitol.” Le Pen founded France’s far-right National Front, but was recently suspended from the party by its current leader—his daughter—for remarks casting doubt on the Holocaust.
The CCC also prominently protested in 2000 when South Carolina lawmakers moved the Confederate battle flag from atop the statehouse—where it had flown since 1961—to a site elsewhere on the capitol grounds in Columbia.
Since the shooting, and since the manifesto attributed to Roof was revealed, the CCC has moved to distance itself from him. A post on the group’s website condemns the massacre but takes great pains to look for other explanations than racism: Roof’s “interest in racial politics started only very recently,” it says, suggesting that drugs could have been a factor and noting that some of Roof’s apparent Facebook friends are black. It also implies that his friends are to blame for not stopping him. In a separate post, the CCC again condemns Roof but insists that the danger of black-on-white crime is real. The statement directs inquiries to Jared Taylor, who also runs American Renaissance….”
@ Sister Lischelle:
Thank you for your research on the CCC. I greatly appreciate your information about his group. Some of the things that you mentioned I had already known about, but some other information that you have given is new to me. Again, thank for providing this important information!
And thank you, from me as well!

@Sister Courtney and @Sister Phazex Female.
I agree with both of you.
@everyone,
Please check out this website:
http://www.justiceorelse.com/
I think this is a great idea by Minister Farrakhan. Spread the word and pass this on.
@Sister Sharon53.
We certainly want justice. I will check out the link Sister.
Thank you for showing the link here also.
We know what the “or else” means. That’s self explanatory. 🙂
Hello,
I’m new, I was reading your article about how black men and non-white men are sexually oppressed to procreate with white women!
I am a black Muslim woman, this happen also in Muslim communities, where Muslim men marry white European or Western women for convenience, for prestige and a chance of a better life!
I knew this Pakistani man was married to a German woman, I will not tell you how she treated my husband and his best friend! I am certain that she was racist!
He left that she behaved this way! Self hate doesn’t belong only black people but all non-white people! White woman can have children with a black men, Muslims or any men of other cultures she will remain forever a racist, but black men, browns, yellows and reds, they know that white men are racist but they still will go with white women!
These people are lost, we should everybody wake up from this global cancer!
@Everyone:
Please take a look at this video:
http://blacktimetravel.com/video-are-black-women-better-off-without-having-black-men-in-the-home/#prettyPhoto
I did not realize things were this bad back almost 30 years ago.
Yep Sharon53,
now that is MY generation since my Sperm Donor had the same attitude as the young brother that was interviewed….or as one young guy from my generation put it as he said to his girlfriend, “I gave YOU two babies, take care of them yourself!” as he headed out the door!!!
My Sperm Donor was LIVID when the State started taking money from his check, AND he made the mistake of telling my father that I was forcing him to take care of his own sons. MY father who remained with my mother for decades even though they no longer liked each other. The Sperm Donors parents were divorced because his father wasn’t dependable either….but you can’t leave those lowlifes either.
@Lischelle
After seeing the video and reading your comments, I suppose the situation in the black community has snowballed because look at where we are now. It seems most black women are having babies without a husband and I am not talking just about women that were raised and still living under the welfare system. Most of these sisters are working class women that came from two-parent households and were not exposed to the welfare system. They have to be having unprotected sex also making them vulnerable to AIDS and other sexually-transmitted diseases. You would think they would know better because some of them are older women and most of them attend church every Sunday and the Bible clearly teaches against fornication. I think when people get accustomed to seeing widespread behaviors over and over, they soon become desensitized to them and does not see how destructive those behaviors are, or just don’t care anymore.
The comments you made in your post that says a guy told his girlfriend “I gave YOU two babies, take care of them yourself!” and also how your children’s father was upset that the state started taking money from his check, speaks volumes about the state of black AmeriKKK. I shake my head because I am seriously thinking we as a people are at a point of no return. The only thing that keeps me from “throwing up my hands” is I do see some black men actually doting on their families and do go to work every day, trying to take care of their families.
“…You would think they would know better because some of them are older women and most of them attend church every Sunday and the Bible clearly teaches against fornication.

Sharon53, I don’t know WHAT the problem(s) is/are and definitely don’t have a solution, but I know what I have seen and heard…..at least in that other HOLE I lived in. There was always fierce completion for any BMW = black, male, working. And they didn’t care about the consequences or who was hurt because of it. That includes the males of color as well. The females had no moral or ethical base that I could see, and as for the “older women” who attended church,….sorry, but I found more hypocrites INSIDE the church than out.
“….speaks volumes about the state of black AmeriKKK. I shake my head because I am seriously thinking we as a people are at a point of no return.

I have to concur with you about the “point of no return”, but the young people like yourself and Timothy give me hope that we still have some hope left….our Elders and Ancestors did NOT die in vain. My sons also give me hope, as they remember all the grief their father put US through and they are fine examples of black manhood, although the oldest has a habit of attracting the worst breeders in the nation….smdh. They honestly believe they think that I have money, which will automatically go to him since their father only left money to the youngest son that listened to all his bile until he died in 2006. Beware of anyone in St. Louis, MO because the majority of them are all about the Benjamins.
@lischelle
Certainly, we need solutions. I feel like solutions will not be one thing. Too many people view a solution as just one magical formula. History and reality shows us that this will not be the case. If that magical formula existed, we would have used it a long time ago. So, multiple actions involve solutions. There should be a promotion of integrity in our community. We, as black people, are in a spiritual war. That is why the rejection of white supremacist value system. We must reject irrational fears as the white bigots thrive on fear. We believe in justice. One true concept is the power of our melanin, which is why they always try to either mimic melanin or steal it from us via sex, and other methods. They or the racists have used racism, classism, sexism, etc. in order for them to maintain their crumbling empire. So, the war is on. i will never relinquish or give up. For decades into the future (into 2050 and beyond since I’m young. I will be 67 in 2050), I will still be here to show the truth and advocate for black liberation.
Thank you for your kind words Sister.
“…in a spiritual war. That is why the rejection of white supremacist value system. We must reject irrational fears as the white bigots thrive on fear. We believe in justice.

Who said anything about giving up Timothy? As long as you are black you will be at war, and not just with Europeans either but all the other ethnicities that benefit from white supremacy like those white men with chopsticks or a taco. They all think they are better than black people, just because they ain’t black as well.
Still, I have no solutions other than for ALL black people to embrace their blackness rather than seeing it as a stumbling block to obtain justice and a piece of the American pie. I don’t entertain any notion of moving to another country, I would like for my sons to VISIT foreign nations, but our ancestors built this country and I was BORN HERE!! If I can’t live in this country with peace and prosperity AS PROMISED in the Constitution, damn it….neither will you!! Nowruntelldat!!
@lischelle
Certainly, you have the right to stay in America. Our ancestors built this country and fought for liberation here. Also, I have no problem with Pan-African unity. That means that Afro-Brazilians, Afro-French, Africans, etc. are our Brothers and our Sisters. We should promote our blackness and develop more of our infrastructure. A diversity of actions should be done from confronting poverty to opposing imperialism. Each person has a gift. Some people may be great in writing, others are great in construction or engineering, and others are gifted in economics or in political organizations. We should promote our community to cultivate its gifts for the better. We should also promote a code of conduct in our communities. We aren’t nihilists and we believe in integrity. Likewise, we want the empire of injustice to end, so a real system of justice stands in its place. Black unity is important. Black Unity is not uniting with sellouts. Black unity is about uniting with like minded black people who are dedicated to liberation and justice. In the final analysis, we are all we got literally.
Timothy,
I have no problem with ANYONE wanting to leave this country and re-build their life in another country….it just isn’t a “choice” for me. I am too old to start over in another country, I still want my sons to visit because traveling expands the mind and the consciousness IMO. We traveled the States when they were younger, and I was always dismayed that none of their “friends” had ever been outside St. Louis. I’m also not opposed to a Pan-African outlook and unity with others, but they got their thugs and criminals as well. The only “gift” that I lay claim to is my medical background and a passion for my people, but I am always a target for sell-outs because they like to be taken care of, but I ain’t the one. I draw the line at places of worship though, that has always been our weakspot unfortunately.
@Lischelle
Thanks for your comment “but the young people like yourself and Timothy give me hope that we still have some hope left….our Elders and Ancestors did NOT die in vain.” However, I am not so young chronologically (LOL!!). Perhaps in spirit, I am young.
In response to your comments “…..at least in that other HOLE I lived in. There was always fierce competition for any BMW = black, male, working. And they didn’t care about the consequences or who was hurt because of it. That includes the males of color as well. The females had no moral or ethical base that I could see, and as for the “older women” who attended church,….sorry, but I found more hypocrites INSIDE the church than out.”
Trust me, the fierce competition for any BMW=black, male, working is everywhere, not just where you lived. Some of this is due in part to the amount of pressure placed on black women to have a man and also the fear of being alone by so many women, along with selfishness, greed, etc. I have to agree that there are more hypocrites in church than outside. In fact, Malcolm X once stated that there was more sisterhood among prostitutes than sisters in the church.
You also stated “beware of anyone in St. Louis, MO because the majority of them are all about the Benjamins. That is something else that is widespread also, not just in St Louis. In fact the love for that almighty powerful dollar bill is one of the many problems that exist with us as a people now.
“…Some of this is due in part to the amount of pressure placed on black women to have a man and also the fear of being alone by so many women, along with selfishness, greed, etc. I have to agree that there are more hypocrites in church than outside. In fact, Malcolm X once stated that there was more sisterhood among prostitutes than sisters in the church….”
Yes, ma’am…I remember a LOT of his teachings and I am still dismayed that so few young people know anything about the man and his teachings. Such a waste of his life and times, when he worked tirelessly to free the minds of black people everywhere. I’m not falling for the religion mess either since they know little about M L King, Jr. except for the I have a dream speech….if that.
I blame it all on black mothers because they ARE a childs FIRST Teacher, and most of them resist education for themselves let alone for their offspring because they are all out looking for a BMW. They are just dumb as a bag of hair, with no sense of priority or ethics. Small wonder the kkkops freely come into our community to rape our females and kill unarmed males since they don’t fear retaliation or even a reprimand usually.
@Sharon53
Certainly, we have a long way to go.
We have to find ways to repair the relationships among black men and black women. There can be no solution unless black women and black men voluntarily communicate with each other, act as friends with each other, and work together since we all face the same oppression. Black men have value and Black women have value. We will never support deadbeats. We will promote upstanding, caring, and strong black mothers and black fathers in our communities.
It is certainly sad that we have some people who either don’t want the black community to prosper or glamorize many dysfunction that is found in society. We reject risky sexual promiscuity, greed, anti-black propaganda, and other evils. We desire a change. This change deals with political and economic changes. Also, it deals with a cultural revolution where a code of conduct (dealing with respect, integrity, rejecting white racist lies, etc.) is advanced and more of our people (especially the youth) know about their value as black people. Self-love and Black Love are concepts that should be taught. That is why mentors, community programs, and other actions are so important to combat and eliminate the ills in our community.
@Timothy
In response to your statement “we have to find ways to repair the relationships among black men and black women. There can be no solution unless black women and black men voluntarily communicate with each other, act as friends with each other, and work together since we all face the same oppression.”
I agree with you wholeheartedly and nothing can be added to those statements.
I would like to also respond to your comments to Lischelle when you said “certainly, we need solutions. I feel like solutions will not be one thing. Too many people view a solution as just one magical formula. History and reality shows us that this will not be the case.”
Yes, I agree with these statements because our problems are so complex there cannot be just one solution. The number one problem with most of us is we don’t realize there are problems. This is so dangerous because you cannot fix a problem that you cannot acknowledge is a problem. I also think some of us still sitting around waiting for someone like a Dr. King to come and save us. What is so hard about taking responsibility for one’s own self?
I agree with you when you say “One true concept is the power of our melanin, which is why they always try to either mimic melanin or STEAL it from us VIA sex, and other methods. They or the racists have used racism, classism, sexism, etc. in order for them to maintain their crumbling empire.”
If only more of us realized this, because we hold the keys in our hands. We could shut the white supremacists down with this foolishness by not sexing with them, stop spending our money in their businesses, start loving and belonging to one another again, etc. Those are easy things to do.
@Sharon53
Good Morning Sister
I agree with you. Your words show us what time it is. For thousands of years, the white collective have shown us via their actions what they are. Therefore, we have to act accordingly and stand up for our human rights for our survival and for our black descendants. We want our descendants to live in a much better world than today. The one percent uses propaganda, from TV, magazines, etc. to promote anti-God values like profanity, disrespect of parents, racism, sexism, anti-black stereotypes, idolatry of false gods, greed, materialism, imperialism, etc. The handwriting is on the wall. Many of us don’t realize that there are solutions to these problems. Balance is one key part of spirituality. So, we should both do individual solutions among ourselves and collective solutions among us as a people (and as a community).
Like you have stated, we should use our economic resources to help our enterprises and our infrastructure. I will never have sex with any white person, we should treat black people with dignity and with respect, and we should care for each other as we are family. We have the same origin and we all share one DNA. It feels so much better for us to work among of our black people to get something done than to worship whiteness. Blackness is beautiful. Black Unity is critical in any solution too. The solution ultimately lies in US. We have the power. Our ancestors built great civilizations and with our power and ingenuity, we can change the world. Even back in the 1950’s and the 1960’s (to the 1970’s to a certain extent), there was a strong camaraderie among us as black people. With the recent events going, more black people are rising up against police terror. We should rise up against police terror and other evils (like we are against poverty, pollution, health care injustices, etc.), but we want to promote our liberation unconditionally and on our terms.
Thank you for your commentaries.
@All,
Please check out this short video from Boyce Watkins:
https://soundcloud.com/boyce-watkins/i-just-got-this-unbelievable
@Sharon53
I have listened to the video from Boyce Watkins. Here are my views. Dr. Boyce Watkins has made great comments about the criminal injustice system. It is a total fact that black people are convicted in a higher rate than white people in America even if all are convicted for the same crime. Many potential jurors are asked questions that have nothing to do with a trial. Jurors, who are white, are not asked whether they support O’Reilly or Donald Trump. The criminal injustice system shouldn’t be respected and it has ruined lives of tons of black people. Police terrorism is wrong. Also, unfair sentences against black people in the prison industrial complex are wrong. I compare the Maafa to the Holocaust. We should be aware about how bad the new Jim Crow system is. It has harmed the lives of both black men and black women as well. We desire black men and black women to be respected and free.
Dr. Watkins gave concise comparisons about how harmful the system of racism/white supremacy is. This is why we believe in independence and black human autonomy. Black human autonomy means that we alone are the agents of change to help our community and we control the destinies of our own lives via self-determination. We want great education, health care universally for people, an end to all police terrorism and occupation of our black communities, an end to gentrification, the fight against poverty, and employment for black people who want jobs (and other economic opportunities). Louisville, KY is in the South and racism is found worldwide too. The jury tactics (as found in the email) is common and juries readily determine the life or death of black lives literally. Also, we want black women to have liberation. The rightful conviction of the evil white male (not man) Holtzclaw (who raped black women) should have happened a long time ago. We have an epidemic of black women suffering abuse and rape. Black women should always be respected and supported by black people always. Black people standing up for racial justice have nothing to do with advancing racism. Racists use reverse psychology, word games, misogyny, and outright historical revisionism as a way for them to promote their evil agendas. That is why we should always support black scholars who are fighting for wisdom and are showing the truth on these matters. Thank you for showing the audio.
Timothy you are correct again, to All…check out this intro to a new book/DVD I put on my “wish list” about the African Holocaust –
“The white controlled media’s distorted racially devaluing treatment of its Black population that amplifies the negative to the point that it distorts reality is a deliberately designed massive psychological warfare program. This program is deplored like a domestic marketing campaign that marginalizes the Black brand while exemplifying the white brand. Its constant relentless bombardment of deplorably negative images of African Americans– that subjects them to seeing only the fraudulent worst in themselves– is deliberately designed to corrupts their sense of racial unity and cohesion, mold the character of self-hatred, engender self-doubt, self-loathing, and distrust among their group. It also insinuates that Black people should admire, respect, and trust only Whites. It is a covert method of defending and maintaining white dominance and control. This literary work is not about peddling
Black victim-hood. Nor is it a frivolous attempt to misplace blame in order to absolve ourselves of our own responsibilities. It instead demonstrates within a constructive manner, rather than an accusatory one that presently Black people are targets of the largest ideological subversion program in history. It contends that when the past blatant methods used for maintaining white social dominance became morally and socially unacceptable the ruling white societal elites secretly modified their efforts of meeting this objective into a system more socially acceptable with the changing times. Their unrelenting commitment to maintain their white dominance is now being met through the implementation of social engineering perception management programs. This covert system is unlike the blatant overt types used in the past that resulted in Black people unifying themselves against it. This racist system is not easily recognized nor comprehended by most of its Black victims. It is the most fiercest racist system ever to confront Black America. It is so well disguised that although many of its Black victims may instinctively feel that there is something wrong, they are however unable to sufficiently conceptualize it so that they can unify and defend themselves against it. “
@lischelle
That’s a great introduction to the book. It certainly shows how deep and evil the system of racism/white supremacy is. From birth to death, black people have been told a lot of lies from white society. The sophistication of white supremacy is so slick that many people don’t even know about it. We know how evil people want to show negative images of African Americans.
So, get your read on and enjoy the book that you desire to get.
Thank you Timothy
@lischelle
You’re Welcome Sister.
@ lischelle
What is the title of the book you quoted. The quote you included in your comment is spot on! Thanks in advance.
Anonymous, I THINK the name of the book/DVD is called “The Black Peoples Matrix”
@ Everybody:
What do you think of these?
I know that these are a lot of videos. I would appreciate some feedback. Thanks. 🙂
@Sister Courtney.
Good Afternoon Sister.
These are certainly a lot of videos indeed. LOL. 🙂
I will comment on them soon.
@Sister Courtney
Here are my thoughts on the videos.
The First video: the person or narrator is frustrated, angry, and said many anti-black slurs. He mocks conscious black people as there is nothing wrong with being pro-black. Laquan (regardless of his actions) never deserved to be murdered by the cop when Laquan posed no direct threat to anyone (as proven by the video). So, the narrator in the first people is talking and he’s spewing white racist talking points. Most crime is intraracial and that doesn’t mean that black crime is genetic. Crime is caused by many factors. His usage of “Muslim scarf” in that way is Islamophobic. The truth is that right wing extremists ignore the seriousness of police terrorism as an excuse for them to pain a broad brush against the black community. Black people have every right to expose the structure of white supremacy and the legacy of slavery. This narrator must have forgotten that activists already know that many people in the political establishment are complicit in the system of injustice. Laquan never deserved to be murdered. That narrator is just someone who is a right wing extremist. The truth is that many black people have fought for improvement in the black community and against police terror at the same time. We need to advance integrity in our communities and a code of conduct. Not only that, we also need to confront police terror and racial injustice by any means necessary.
The Second video: Harvey’s video was interesting. The 2 black women are wrong to support Donald Trump. Donald Trump is a total racist, misogynist, xenophobe, etc. Harvey is correct to call out Donald Trump and Alex Jones for their extremism and racism. Alex Jones’ website has slandered Assata Shakur recently. So, I have no respect for Alex Jones. There is nothing wrong with a black woman showing emotion and speaking their minds. There is a problem with Trump’s hateful statements. Harvey is wrong to assume that we are far more apt to call out men sellouts than women sellouts. Black women and Black men are known to call out sellout regardless of gender for years and decades. I understand his frustration, but black men are not the only ones suffering in this society. Black women are suffering sexism, misogynoir, abuse, etc. in the world too. There is no oppression Olympics here. Black men and Black women suffer the same system of oppression. Harvey is right that some black people want to sell their soul for money or for prestige. He is right that they or the 2 black women are playing with fire by supporting a liar like Trump. Harvey is correct to expose Lee Daniels’ anti-black women statements. Lee Daniels is known to hate black woman as evident in his shows and movies. That’s obvious. A person, who loves black women, would never create or produce stuff like Precious or Empire.
The Third video: Nicki Minaj talked about the prison industrial complex in a recent interview. We should expose the prison industrial complex. He or Harvey is right to say that lighter skinned black people on average are treated better than darker skin black people in America. Colorism is evil. Also, it is important to note that regardless if we are light, brown, or dark, we as black people suffer racism. Black people of every hue should have liberation. I can’t co-sign Nicki Minaj on every issue. She is right to expose how the prison industrial complex is evil. Yet, I view her disrespect of Malcolm X and her other antics as wrong. Many celebrities either promote the interests of white supremacy or are agents of white supremacy. It is what it is. Harvey made a great point about how some celebrities are silent on political issues when President Barack Obama was in office during the beginning and when Obama is about to leave, then they want to come to comment (and run back to the black community). Nicki Minaj is a victim of the system of white supremacy and has disrespected black people for years and now she wants to suck up to us. It’s sad to say the least. I believe in accepting forgiving from black people (who have backslide temporarily) only if they show contrition and if they sincerely changed. I do believe in forgiveness, but it conditioned on change. Many black people are more forgiving of whites than black people. That should change.
The Fourth video: Harvey is right to expose Cortland Selman as acting as a sellout. Harvey is right to expose Selman as a total traitor to black people. Holtzclaw is a rapist and an evil white male (not man as Holtzclaw is not a real man). Traitors in our community should be totally ignored by us as black people. Selman should be ashamed of him for supporting Holtzclaw. We have to defend black women. Black women are valuable and they should always be treated with dignity and with respect. Holtzclaw was fired by the police department. I’m glad that Holtzclaw was convicted. I have my views on Bill Cosby. Harvey is right that black victims of rape are treated with less respect in society than non-black victims of rape when any victim of rape must be treated with respect. Black women are the most disrespected people on Earth as said by Malcolm X. There are many black men who love and cherish black women.
Thank you for showing the videos Sister.
Goodnight Sister.
Bless you 🙂
@ Timothy
You made real good points critiquing the videos. Since we’re talking about Cortland Selman a black man whose defending a white man who sexually assault black women needs to be call out. Furthermore, I notice more & more divide & conquer between black men & women especially when black women are victims of being racially profile & assaulted by police or attack by non black people. I have heard many black women stated that black women have always come to the defense when black men are being assaulted by racism but black men are nowhere to be found to come to our defense. This coon Cortland Selman & many other black men just like him is broadcasting to the world that black men are too weak to stand up & protect their women. Also its programing black women to believe that not only does society devalue black women but black men too. I can see in the future when the next black woman is a victim of racist white supremacy that makes national news black men will be call out nationally for not supporting black women.
@Sister Shanequa
I agree with your words on the traitor Selman and the rest of the points that you have made.
One word sums up your comments. That word is reciprocity. That means that black women for years have defended the lives of black men involving police terrorism, abuse, etc. Yet, many black men have not supported black women victims of the same abuse equally or evenhandedly. This problem has exacerbated the tensions among many black men and many black women. That is why it is very important for more black men to stand up for black women (not only in moments of joy, but in moments of controversy). That is a very fair request from the Sisters as we have the epidemic of misogynoir and the murder of black women worldwide. Society must change. Part of this change involves better communication and better voluntary relationships between black men and black women. The only way for us to heal as a community is for us to have more communication, develop strategies, and to confront our issues. Everything is not cool and we have to be honest to discuss our problems in a therapeutic fashion in order for solutions to come about. Those black men who have stood up for black women should be recognized. Yet, that isn’t enough. We have confront the structures of oppression and we have to fight back against the evils that harm both black men and black women. We have to teach black youth that black men and black women must be respected. Not all black men are like that (as tons of black men love black women), but many black men are traitors and hate black women. So, black men can never be liberated unless black women are liberated. It is that clear.
Thank you for your social commentaries.
Goodnight Sister.
Thanks for the videos Courtney, and I have to concur with the author/narrator……racists will not take black people seriously because the only time you appear to come together is when some “thug” gets killed by a kkkop. IF it was serious….the protests I mean, then there wouldn’t be so much intra-racial violence that goes unanswered. So, I expect that the new Spike Lee joint, “Chi-raq” will always have a sold out audience in every city that it is shown to let everyone know that we really do care and want the violence and intimidation to stop. And PLEASE….no lectures on the effects of slavery and white supremacy, I know it all too well.
EMBRACE education first and foremost, and that means to start with educating your offspring from the cradle to the grace about white supremacy and their use of WMDs = Weapons of Mass Deception, on black people. Public schools, T V, radio, movies with no substantive value outside of HollyWierd. Teach them about “profiling” so they don’t get ON the police radar in the first place. Set your offspring and their survival within the family as your #1 priority, rather than gangs or drugs since you don’t own a poppy field or a gun manufacturing plant. Teach them about setting goals and buying into the “quick buck” schemes of criminals…..it never ends well. Make black history a priority rather than European lies about Africa and Africans.
@ Sister Lischelle:
Thank you for watching the videos and thank you for your response. I agree that along with fighting white supremacy, we have to fight anti-Blackness in our communities as well. We need to stop enabling bad behavior, but at the same time, we cannot blame ourselves for white supremacy. We are the victims of it, not the perpetrators.
May you have a blessed week! 🙂
@Sister Courtney
Exactly Sister.
We should promote righteous behavior in our communities, but we are not to be blamed for the system of white supremacy.
Also, Afro-Brazilians, Afro-French, etc. are our Brothers and our Sisters. We are one black people internationally. All black people worldwide should be free.
I am grateful of the words from you, Lischelle, and other great black people here too.
“..We need to stop enabling bad behavior, but at the same time, we cannot blame ourselves for white supremacy. We are the victims of it, not the perpetrators…
Wow…maybe I should go back and read what I wrote if you have come to the conclusion that I was blaming black people for white supremacy or white privilege CourtneyH. I may be crazy, but I have never been stupid enough to blame the victims of oppression. A lot of our people refuse to acknowledge that racism exists, especially in their friend or their mates but it does, making it that much more difficult for those of us who are AWAKE to fight against if because we have to fight a Handkerchief Head as well as whites.
I just saw a commercial of the upcoming O J Simpson trial where that nutter said TO HIS LEGAL TEAM that he wasn’t “black, I’m O. J.!!” When I heard that I had to BACK UP on a lot of black celebrities who are only in the entertainment industry for the money. As long as they are riding high and have “blingage” they never come around the black community….UNTIL they get into trouble that is and expect the entire black community to stand behind them.
@Sister Liscelle:
I’m sooty if I misunderstand your words. I was just that a lot of Black people blame victims of racist violence because that are not “perfect victims” or act stupidly.
Thank you.
@Sister Courtney
How sweet of you Courtney 🙂
Sister Liscelle reminds me of my female relatives, who are strong, honest, and to the point.
Next year, I’m going to study more about the African Diaspora in another level too.
There are so many smart Brothers and Sisters here. I have gained a lot of wisdom from you and so many other people here from Sharon, Liscelle, Phazex_Female, Trojan Pam, and other great black human beings.
“…How sweet of you Courtney…”
Totally concur Timothy…thank you Courtney.
“..Sister Liscelle reminds me of my female relatives, who are strong, honest, and to the point…”
Exactly Timothy!! I’m too old to be bothered about “delicate sensibilities” when we are supposed to be fighting a war here. We have to WAKE UP and move forward with our own history and recover our lost culture, while trying to keep from getting killed by kkkops and lone wolf whackjobs. I call ’em like I see ’em
“…Next year, I’m going to study more about the African Diaspora in another level too…”
Nice aspiration, be sure and check out Rashidi’s links, also….a Facebook friend of mine, Harold A. Carter, has a boatload of information on all things black that he loves to share. Check him out sometime.
“..There are so many smart Brothers and Sisters here. I have gained a lot of wisdom from you and so many other people here ,,,”
Concur again, Timothy….so you can go ahead and reach around and give yourself a pat on the back as well!
Courtney, I have gone to the South with my family for years and I was BORN in a Slave State although those racists will deny it even to this day. I have researched my family history in an attempt to find my ROOTS ala Alex Haley, only to find that he had to pay a Mr. Courtland several thousands of dollars for plagiarizing his work called “The African”! Although this white man got all HIS descriptions of slavery and the slave trade from black sharecroppers….I’ll bet you dimes to donuts that he wouldn’t have shared any profits from his book with those sharecroppers whose life stories he copied into that book he published!! I am not really angry with black people as much as I am disappointed in their repeated denials of their own black greatness in the past.
Europeans deliberately destroyed African cities and monuments to give their acquired chattel slaves a negative impression of the African Ancestors, just like that French bastard Napoleon shot the noses off the Sphinx because it would have shown the world that the Ancient Egyptians were indeed NEGROID in appearance!! I still remember when the Egyptologist, Zahi Hawass, made a documentary on Egyptian mummies and made a point of stating that the royal Ancients were not black while 3 small black boys were acting up behind him on that particular segment…..I laughed so hard I cried!!
I know racism and white supremacy intimately well; it is the Handkerchief Heads and Sellouts that I am afraid of. Racists are going to be themselves regardless of my or your opinion, and it is my considered opinion that black people better WTFU and stop traveling up and down Bamboozle Blvd. because of the white mans WMDs = Weapons of Mass Deception!! We can’t afford to be stupid AND divisive forever. Now there is a group of young blacks claiming that they are indigenous to the Americas and that 16 MILLION Africans were not taken during the Maafa, WE were already here!! And if that IS the case, then it is even more tragic than stealing slaves from Africa…smh. WE LET them come and take OUR entire country and send OUR butts to reservations!! How sad is that? What group of people is that damn gullible you lose your identity and culture TWICE to the same demons?!?! Sounds more like that South Africa MYTH where white folks just came in and TOOK OVER!!!
@ Sister Lischelle:
Thank you for telling your story. I greatly appreciate it! Harvey also talks about how his family’S land was taken in the South.
We have to learn a lot of our history on our own, because we are not taught this history in our schools.
I also agree that more of us need to wake up and smell the coffee, though a lot of us have already swakened.
Thank you so much for your comments.
You’re welcome Courtney, but I am trying to keep the momentum of this site going so we don’t LOSE our history again and have to bring another generation up to snuff before we get enslaved all over again. You guys are the hope for the next generation methinks, so keep learning and sharing what you have learned as well.
@ Brother Timothy:
Thank you for taking the time to watch all the videos. I greatly appreciate it.
I agree with everything that you said, do I won’the repeat anything, because I don’t have to. Your summation of these videos is spot-on
Again, thank you for watching the videos.
God bless you, and may you have a blessed week! 🙂
@Sister Courtney
Thank you for your words Sister. I greatly appreciate your wisdom on many issues.
Have a Blessed Week too. 🙂
@ Brother Timothy:
Thank you for the compliments. 🙂
I appreciate your wisdom, too.
@Courtney H.
I have not listened to the video about Laquan McDonald yet but I have listened to the others. Below are my comments:
I did listen to the one about Diamond and Silk with Don Lemon. I agree with some of Harvey’s comments when it comes to their support of Donald Trump. Trump is very anti-black, anti-female, anti-black female and mentally unstable, so how could any thinking black person support him. I also did not like the “bugged-eye” expressions on those women faces and at the risk of sounding cruel, they did look like characters that Freakwood like to portray us as on TV and movies, such as ‘mammies’ and even the Zip Coon character.
I do not agree with Harvey when he says black women are not called out on ‘cooning’ as much as black men. In a way, I think black women are punished even more when they get caught cooning, especially when they get mixed up in public controversy. They tend to get censored more than black men. Think about Halle Berry, for instance, black people, especially black men do not really support her as much because of some of her choices in roles she has played and her choice of mates lately, even though she has had 2 black men as previous mates. Another black woman no one has ever forgiven is Robin Givens who made the mistake of publicly criticizing Mike Tyson. Black people may criticize black men for these things but they don’t censor them as much. They keep right on supporting them regardless. These are just a few but I could write a book on this subject.
As far as people like Nicki Minaj, I can see Harvey’s point somewhat. I also agree with Timothy’s statement about forgiveness if the backslider shows genuine change. The problem with change is that sometimes what comes camouflaged as change turns out to be the same old story and somewhere down the road, the person reverts back to the same old behavior. I also agree with Timothy when he says “many black people are more forgiving of whites than black people. That should change.”
I don’t know very much about Nicki because I have never gotten into rap music and I especially don’t care for the flamboyancy she depicts. I have also heard that a lot of blacks from the islands tend to think they are better than blacks from the United States. However, I have visited many of the islands and never noticed that. I have noticed arrogance from some that actually live here in America but even then that is a small percentage.
On the video about Cortland Selman acting as a sellout, I have to agree. So what if he has some “friendship” (if that is what he wants to call it) with Holtzclaw, there is a time to speak up and a time to shut up. Secondly, people are often totally different with some people than they are with others but they are still accountable for their behavior. Whatever the case may be, why does some black person have to always come forward as a spokesperson for these white supremacists criminals, especially a black man when it is clear as daylight that several black women have been violated? Why hasn’t anybody white spoken on his behalf? Selman is sending a strong and dangerous message and that is black women are just not valued and further rubs it in our faces that we are the least protected, most disrespected women on the planet. It also shows to the world, this big divide between black men and black women. Even before Harvey said anything, I noticed the female newsperson refer to the victims as “alleged” victims. That caused my blood to boil because Cosby’s accusers are referred to as victims even though Cosby has not been tried in a court of law and found guilty.
“….Timothy’s statement about forgiveness if the backslider shows genuine change. The problem with change is that sometimes what comes camouflaged as change turns out to be the same old story and somewhere down the road, the person reverts back to the same old behavior.””
That is my ex-husband exactly, he turned back into the self-centered, myopic slimeball, crackhead that I divorced in the first place. And he expected me to re-marry his sorry behind when he hadn’t changed one bit.
“…I also agree with Timothy when he says “many black people are more forgiving of whites than black people…”
Concur again, and I saw a meme recently that said the same thing, then red a news story that some young brother killed a young sister on the street just because she said “Hi” to him…smh.
“…why does some black person have to always come forward as a spokesperson for these white supremacists criminals, especially a black man when it is clear as daylight that several black women have been violated? Why hasn’t anybody white spoken on his behalf? Selman is sending a strong and dangerous message and that is black women are just not valued and further rubs it in our faces that we are the least protected, most disrespected women on the planet. It also shows to the world, this big divide between black men and black women….”
I wonder where do they FIND these black males that readily “amen” abusers of other black people, even if they kill another black person intentionally. Sheesh…I can’t tolerate backstabbers and sell outs anymore than I can tolerate STUPID for lengthy periods.
@ Sister Sharon53:
Thank you for watching the videos and commenting. I greatly appreciate it, since these are a lot of videos and watching them takes some time.
Diamond & Silk are self-having sellouts. Period.
I agree with you when you say that Harvey is wrong when he says that Black women sellouts are not condemned as much as Black men sellouts. In fact, Black women get slammed more for cooning. Take R. Kelly, for example. He sexually assaulted young Black girls and urinated on at least one of them. However, recently, he received a special award at the BET Awards, and was applauded (by Black women, no less)! R. Kelly participated in coonish behavior by attacking young Black girls. If he had been female, would he have been forgiven. NO!
I agree with what you said about NIcki Minaj, too. If she is really sincere, fine. However, a lot of Black people will act cool after having been rejected by White people when they are no long popular. I also agree that many Caribbean Blacks may think that they are better than American Blacks, but their are others that do not.
And I agree with everything that you said about that self-hating Courtland Selman.
Again, thank you for your thoughtful, spot-on comments!

Enjoy! 😀
@Sister Courtney
Good Afternoon Sister. 🙂
Thank you for showing the links Sister.
First, Daniel Hotlzclaw is an evil male. He deserves heavy punishment. Rape, no matter who does it, should never be tolerated anywhere int the Universe. All women have the right to their human autonomy. I was a little shocked by the verdict since I thought that he would get a slap on the wrist since he was non-black and he was a cop. Yet, he will get life in prison.
Also, as the sites have mentioned, this war isn’t over. We have to continue to fight back against the rape and abuse of black girls and black women. Many of the criminals involved in the rape and the abuse of Sisters are not just non-blacks, but many are black males. So, we should never tolerate misogynoir at all. Misogynoir must end. The last link is right. No one can be pro-black and embrace the white supremacist view of patriarchy (or the lie that women are inherently inferior and deserve to be placed in a subordinate position of society to a man). The truth is that men and women should walk side by side inf fighting for justice. Black women have been at the forefront of social justice causes. We can’t be free unless all black women are free. More black men have to confront males who are misogynist and stand up for black women unconditionally. That is what right and just. We want the black community to grow and voluntarily relationships between black men and black women to develop into a higher level as well. So, I agree with Daniel Johnson’s article. He gets it.
