Where I live Democrats dominate local government and the state government. It is Democrats making impoverished Black American tenants homeless and scattered into white and immigrant dominated areas with gentrification where I live. According to the article, "Are African American families more vulnerable in a largely white neighborhood?" by Gregory Smithsimon of The Guardian, dated Feb. 21, 2018, police shootings of Black Americans are happening in white suburban areas with a growing Black American population. Those killings of Black Americans will not be considered murders; they will be called "the police, doing their jobs," or "self-defense by white/immigrant civilians," who wasn't under any real threat at all. When we beat, fight, or kill them in self-defense, it is called "assault" or "murder" or "attempted murder." The law, politicians, juries, judges, and the courts will not enforce your right to life and your right to defend your life against threat of murder by whites and immigrants. The majority power groups such as racist whites, immigrants, and Black bourgeoisie will not acknowledge that whites and immigrants threaten violence, intimidation, or retaliation in the form of termination and blacklisting from employment against Black Americans on a regular basis as an aspect of peaceful interracial relations with them if we don't kiss their behinds, shut up, and stay in our places. It is unsafe for Black American slave descendants to live in racially mixed areas, because we will be murdered by police or by white and immigrant civilians, claiming we are trying to hurt them, steal from them, or just walking through their neighborhood as a Black Americans automatically makes us "suspicious-looking characters." We have relative safety in numbers living around our own kind. The Democrats, whom Black Americans vote for, are creating public policies to break up Black voting blocs and push Black Americans against our will into white and immigrant dominated areas where our minds and bodies can be easily controlled under the constant threat of being murdered by police and non-Black American neighbors. Black Democrats do not enforce our civil and human rights already in Black American dominated areas. Why continue to vote for racist Black Democrats, who are pushing impoverished Black American tenants into white and immigrant areas to be easily massacred and imprisoned? Black Democrats pay lip-service to our civil and human rights and let the genocide they have been waging for years run its course under the assumption that integration is progress towards racial equality. Black Americans cannot continue to vote for Democrats term after term and expect a different result. Please consider rounding up your network of Black American friends where you live in majority Black American districts, or organize Black American voters online within your district, who are under threat of gentrification, homelessness, and being pushed into white and immigrant areas, and voting for the most sensible individuals among you to write-in as candidates for city council, mayor, state legislature, county boards, and the House of Representatives rather than vote for ineffectual, racist Black Democrats this election cycle. Do not worry about being qualified by education or experience. The Tea Party sent whites with no prior governmental experience or college degrees into the House of Representatives. Those racist Black Democrats are chosen and financed by racist whites and immigrants to control and oppress Black American slave descendants, not represent them. We should not be murdered for being Black American in white or immigrant dominated neighborhoods, but that is the reality we live in. If we are forced into white and immigrant areas, we can expect our children to be murdered by police or non-Black American civilians for our kids, playing with brightly colored, plastic, water guns in front yards or at parks. MLK Jr. and other Black leaders, past and present, with so many college degrees among them, failed to tell Black Americans that sociology describes integration, assimilation, accommodation, displacement, and miscegenation as forms of genocide. Gentrification is state sponsored genocide on impoverished Black American slave descendants, masquerading as job creation and community development. When we vote for Democrats, who have created that displacement for impoverished Black American tenants, we are "consenting" or "giving permission" to the continued state policies of genocide against our own racial-ethnic group. We are not supposed to vote for the candidate, who is predicted as the most likely winner, so we can temporarily feel like winners. We are supposed to vote for candidates, who are going to give us something in exchange for our votes, such as reparations, safety, and the enforcement of our human rights. #blacks, #blackamericans, #poor, #poverty, #homelessness, #gentrification, #slaverevoltbyvote, #voting, #votes, #withholdvotes, #swingvotes, #displacemnt, #integration, #safety, #violence, #safetyinnumbers, #sociology, #quidproquo. less

The subject of the show was "Radical Steps Blacks Must Take To Retard Gentrification." According to the host, gentrification is happening in Black districts nationwide since she travels nationwide. The only steps she offered were: (1) stabilize our communities and (2) hold on to our property. She started the radio show by saying gentrification only affects those without money and property. However, as Blacks are scattered, Black businesses and Black churches will not be able to financially survive, because their customers will no longer live in the area any more. Yet, no solution was offered to empower the Black American poor being scattered into white and immigrant dominated areas against their will by the Democrats they elect and by the employers and developers brought in by Democrats. "Stabilizing the community" can be interpreted as so many things that that statement is not a solution at all. "Hold on to our property" is not a solution, because remember, gentrification is harmful to impoverished Black American tenants most of all, not Blacks, who are lucky enough to have inherited their homes or a government job to buy their homes. Black leaders pay lip service to leading the Black American poor, but they have no real intent to help the Black American poor. I called in several times to offer my solutions about a national membership group to coordinate voting efforts to drive Democrats out of Black American districts being harmed by gentrification and to use membership fees to strategically create businesses to employ impoverished Black Americans, but my calls allowed me to listen, but not to comment. Self-appointed Black leaders exploit impoverished Black Americans just like any other immigrant group does. These Black leaders tend to be solidly middle-classed, homeowners and/or business owners, and their only interest in recycling Black dollars is to get poor Blacks to enrich themselves while they employ only Hispanics and Black immigrants. Any money that the Black American poor puts into Black owned businesses do not necessarily return to them in the form of employment for the Black American poor. The host tends to draw her interpretations of Black conditions based upon Christianity, not science. She interpreted Black crime as a consequence of rejecting god (i.e. the slave master's god), not as a result of poverty, which was created by majority groups' race discrimination against Black Americans in employment and higher education and as a result of Black American enslavement. There was more preaching than problem solving. Maybe it is a good thing my calls were not answered, because I don't think a Black leader, who equates Black American poverty with a rejection of god (i.e. the slave master's god) can understand anything I say based on social science. I am so disappointed with Black leadership. The Black bourgeoisie pays lip-service to the needs of the Black American poor to legitimize their exploitation of and oppression against the Black American poor. #blacks, #blackamericans, #poverty, #poor, #impoverished, #bourgeoisie, #middleclass, #buppies, #blackbourgeoisie, #blackpoor, #gentrification, #problems, #solutions, #radioshow, #talkshow, #blackleaders. less

Bill Cosby found guilty of sexual assault. Wealthy people, both white and black, use their wealth, power, prestige, influence, and connections to evade criminal convictions for years. They threaten to ruin your careers if you report the crime. They succeed in ruining your life for the rest of your life. They pay their victims and their victims parents "hush money " for their silence. They destroy evidence. They ruin, impoverish, and blacklist the lives of their victims, so they cannot fight back with equal wealth, representation, and opportunities for a trial. Bill Cosby was "America's father," a role model for us to follow. Let his conduct be an example that impoverished Black Americans should not mimic and internalize the behaviors, attitudes, and values of famous celebrities. "Wealthy" does not mean "good." Contrary to many bible-thumping African-American Christians, "wealthy" does not mean "blessed by god." It just means that wealthy person likely did some really horrible, evil things to other people in order to attain that wealth. The overwhelming majority of famous celebrities are morally depraved. Most wealthy people of all races think their ill-gotten gain puts them above the law. In reality, their wealth in majority of the occasions, their wealth, fame, and prestige really do put them above the law. But, that is not the way things are supposed to work. Remember, powerful, wealthy people commit crimes to evade convictions for years, so by the time they make it to court, evidence has been destroyed or stolen, their victims' memories will have degraded, but there should be enough testimony and evidence to let you know a crime has occurred when explanations cannot stand up to known facts and logic. When you sit on a jury, you may "vote your conscience." That is how whites and immigrants can evade murder convictions when they kill Black Americans: judicial nullification and jury nullification. Judges and juries nullify the human rights of Black victims, they nullify and suppress the evidence, they nullify the laws broken by white and immigrant criminals, and then, they vote their conscience, which is racist, evil, and genocidal against Black American slave descendants. When you sit on a jury where Black American slave descendants are victims of racial oppression and hate crimes, you may "vote your conscience" to guarantee justice is served for Black American victims of racially motivated criminal, civil rights, and human rights violations. No other race or ethnicity is playing by the rules. Why should Black American slave descendants? "Vote your conscience" when you sit on a jury. Wealthy, famous, or prestigious people are not role models for the rest of us to follow. Now, that Bill Cosby has been convicted, will some government agency please convict Roman Polansky, Woody Allen, and R. Kelly for their alleged crimes? #abovethelaw, #rich, #wealthy, #famous, #prestigious, #wealth, #power, #prestige, #fame, #rolemodel, #badbehaviors, #voteyourconscience, #judicialnullification, #jurynullification, #rights, #evidence, #judicialprocedure, #blacks, #blackamericans, #voting. less

I have a bachelor's degree, but I cannot afford to attend graduate school. Racist whites, immigrants, and their racist African-American bourgeoisie will not allow me to use my education or attain higher education. I don't even qualify for financial aid anymore. Here is an alternative: Your public library may pay for noncredit, online classes through Gale and Universal Classes. you must enter these websites through your public libraries' websites or these online schools will make you pay. On Universal Classes, there are classes on accounting, medical billing, business, nonprofits, fundraising, etc. Gale offers similar classes, but you have to complete them in eight weeks. Gale offers web design and computer programming classes. You have to have your own computer and access to certain software already. Even with these classes, it is still not the same as having rigorous training at a college, but we have to start somewhere if we want to pool our resources, ideas, and skills together to coordinate liberation ourselves from de facto racial slavery, oppression, and state-sponsored genocide orchestrated by racist whites, immigrants, and the African-American bourgeoisie. Right now, I am taking classes about nonprofits. According tot he instructor, nonprofits are public entities that do not belong to the person, who creates them. I told that teacher, in reality, nonprofits are personal controlled by groups of people. According to her, anyone can request documents like bylaws, accounting, etc. to inspect the nonprofits business. Also, the instructor said that a board of directors can hijack the nonprofit and turn it into something that the incorporator never intended it to be, because the nonprofit belongs to the public. Now, that has got me thinking that 501
(3) is not the way to go. Perhaps, an LLP or S-corporation is best. I am open to suggestions if someone in here is well versed in nonprofit or for-profit management. I have been talking about creating a national membership group for Black Americans on Hour Time Now. If one doesn't exist, I will have to create it, but I would like some help from trustworthy Black Americans, who seek liberation via racial separation. One person can't do this alone, but I am taking classes about nonprofits to help prepare me. I hope other Black Americans, who cannot afford to go to college will also take advantage of learning other skills offered through their public libraries' accounts with Gale and Universal Classes. Nonprofits need people with accounting skills, graphic design skills, website building skills, computer programming, human resources, etc. Most importantly, they need lawyers and insurance coverage which is beyond the scope of the skills you can learn for free on Gale and Universal Classes. Please check your public libraries' websites where you live to verify that Gale and Universal Classes are free to library patrons. Please spread the word to other impoverished Black Americans, who want to learn new skills and cannot afford college. This is important. We want to see things change for our people, but we need an army with skills in which to improve our collective conditions. Please help by spreading the word and encouraging Black Americans to get some skills and education wherever we can find it. #blacks, #blackamericans, #free, #classes, #education, #library, #public, #skills, #nonprofits, #forprofits. less

The song is "Ain't That Good News," by Voices Incorporated from the album, Roots: An Anthology of Negro Music in America. The narrator says, "The Negros took also their masters' Christian religion," as though any slave had a choice in how they thought or felt or saw the world as manufactured slaves. I disagree with the narration of this album, because it suggest that Christianity was a logical choice for Black American slaves rather than a weapon of social control. Yet, at the same time, I appreciate Voices Incorporated for preserving this music if it turns out to be authentic. I urge Black American artists of all kinds to preserve their folk culture from a Black American perspective and for a Black American audience for the sake of posterity in libraries and museums. This album was made about Black Americans, but for non-Black Americans and interpreted from a non-Black American perspective. Migration was forced. Sex with genocidal devils were forced. The loss of African language, religion, and culture was forced. Christianity was not a choice; it was weapon to make Black American slaves docile when they should have been killing their masters in their sleep to gain their freedom. Like Africa, Black Americans outnumbered whites for a period of time during formal slavery. What kept them from killing their masters and running away? (1) The psychological trauma of the Middle Passage, (2) the "seasoning process" which involves physical assault, battery, torture, rape, and sexual assault, (3) forced Christianity that beat a false, white, Jewish god into the heads of Black American slaves, teaching them to worship the entire Eurasian white race as a secular extension of the Christian faith. Read Slave Testimonies of actual Black American slaves in slavery and Prejudice and Your Child by Kenneth Clark. Slave testimonies confirm that the more religious a slave master is, the more evil, violent, sinful, and genocidal that "god-fearing" slave master is. The book by Kenneth Clark confirms what Black American slaves witnessed firsthand: the more religious a person is, the more prejudiced he/she is. See the movie, The God Who Wasn't There, on YouTube. The messengers of the Christian faith to Africa and to the Black American slaves they had created knew their god is fictional, not a historical person with magical powers. Today's Black American Christian ministers know that Jesus is not a historical person. Yet, Black American Christian ministers lie to their Black American congregations and partner with the non-Black majority to perpetuate a slave mentality among every successive generation of Black Americans. Black Americans will not have the will to defend themselves against all forms of genocide by the multiracial racist majority if they do not walk away from Christianity. Black Americans may not have had a choice for the past 400 years, but you have access to the exchange of information on social media and resources in public libraries now. There are books at the library under subject headings or keywords, "Jesus Christ historicity." Ask yourselves if it is logical to worship the god of an evil people, who enslaved you. If the messengers of Christianity to Black American slaves were racist, violent, evil criminals, wouldn't their god be just as evil too? Black American street artists need to preserve their folk arts just like this album does but from a Black American perspective. A Black American cultural renaissance is necessary to redefine the Black American identity apart from what non-Black Americans manufactured them to be by separating the good cultural adaptations to slavery by Black Americans from the self-destructive cultural adaptations to slavery imposed upon Black Americans by a multicultural racist majority. Black American folk culture from slavery is important to forming a positive group identity. #blacks, #music, #history, #culture, #blackamericanhistorymonth, #blackamerica, #blackamerican, #blackamericans, #renaissance, #blackrenaissance, #blackamericanrenaissance. less

The song is "Work Song Medley" by Voices Incorporated from the album, Roots: An Anthology of Negro Music in America. I found a second album on Freegal and YouTube with Black American slaves' folk music, but it is like a condensed musical introduction to Black American history from the slave ship to popular Black American musical expressions. The album has narrations in between the music as though it was intended for a non-Black American audience. Listen to the album and decide whether the album was made for Black American slave descendants or non-Black Americans. I don't like the idea that an album about Black Americans was designed specifically for non-Black-Americans, but I appreciate their preservation of Black American folk music. For those of you, who are street artists, you, too, can preserve Black American slaves' folk culture for sale to libraries and museums, so the rest of us can research it, analyze it, write about it, and enjoy it. #blacks, #music, #history, #slaves, #slave, #culture, #blackamericanhistorymonth, #blackamerica, #blackamerican, #blackamericans. less

Listen to song, Voo Doo American, by Alex Foster and Michael LaRue. There is not any competition in the performance of Black American slaves' folk culture today. A man is singing something unclear before mentioning "troubled water." If any of you can recall, Simon and Garfunkel sang a song, "Bridge over Troubled Waters." I wonder if they took that expression from a slave song. Maybe? Maybe not? I don't presume to know. I am just asking. If any of you know for sure, inform me. I have suggested that Black Americans spark a cultural renaissance focusing on Black American slaves' folk culture and to sell those reproductions of art, music, dance, etc. to libraries and museums for profit and/or for religious worship. One person has already shot down the suggestion as if everything else African-American leaders have been doing on our behalves has been working to our benefit. American Negro Slave Songs is the only album I can find on Freegal about Black American slave music. Maybe there are others. I am just letting Black American slave descendants know that Black American slaves' folk culture is a market with little or no competition. There should be money to be made here. Yes, I believe if something is not broken, we should leave it alone. However, African-American leaders, who are chosen, financed, and elected by whites and immigrants, have decided things for the Black American poor and under their leadership, social conditions for Black Americans in poverty never get better. Things are only getting worse. Most of us have heard the expression, "It is insane to repeat the same things over and over again and expect a different result." Most Black Americans use the same old solutions for the same old problems and expect a different result. Most Black Americans are unwilling to try new solutions for old problems. One has called me a reverse racist against Africans, stupid, uneducated, and ignorant for suggesting new solutions to old problems, because Afrocentrism simply is not working economically, politically, or culturally to the benefit of Black American slave descendants. Let Obama's election as the first half-white, African immigrant president be a testament to how well Afrocentrism is working for Black American slave descendants. Obama won by Black Americans' votes and then, told them they don't deserve reparations for slavery. Perhaps, sparking a Black American renaissance based upon the best aspects of slave culture could change the course of Black Americans' future if we studied it, reproduced it, sold it, and practiced it. There is money to be made in folk arts and culture by selling to libraries and museums. For those of us, who are practicing artists, please consider preserving Black American slave culture in the ways Alex Foster and Michael LaRue has done. I found their music on Freegal through my library and then, I looked it up on YouTube. #blacks, #music, #history, #culture, #slave, #slaves, #slavery, #blackamericanhistorymonth, #blackamerica, #blackamerican, #blackamericans, #folk, #folkmusic, #folkculture, #folkways. less

The song, "Follow the Drinking Gourd," by Alex Foster and Michael LaRue is marketed as American Negro Slave Songs. One line in the song says "Follow the drinking gourd for the old man is waiting for to carry you to freedom." It sounds as though it is an instruction to find an underground railroad conductor. I have no way of knowing for, but this is something for a Black American musician, musicologist, ethno-musicologist, or music historian to study and teach the rest of us. It came from a folk album. There is not a lot of competition for Black American folk music, dance, arts, crafts, and food ways. A group of Black American artists can combine their myriad skills and produce streaming media and sell it to libraries, so independent researchers and students can have access to it from library e-media contractors. Many of us don't want to think, remember, or study Black American slavery, but many of us love to complain when a white person does it for us. I don't know the race or ethnicity of Alex foster and Michael LaRue. I can't find any pictures. I don't think they have a Wikipedia page either. Regardless of what they may be, their voices sound inauthentic or culturally detached. However, I appreciate their preservation of those slave songs. Please share these Black American slave songs with others. #blacks, #music, #history, #slave, #slaves, #slavery, #blackamericanhistorymonth, #blackamerica, #blackamerican, #blackamericans. less
