I took some positive things from it. The advice hits home for the brotha or sista who wants to be a rapper, singer, entertainer. Far be it for me to tell someone not to go after their dream. I get it, we've been given 2 lanes to excel in historically: sports and entertainment.

The world (or rather America) pays big money for the trades. I celebrate brothers or sisters with their own business than being an entertainer. Not hating on it. I just would love to see us all diversify into all kinds of lanes other than two that are already competitive ASF and has gotten political.

A Black Trumper's Wake Up Call

I've always noticed that if you are a black Conservative, especially the MAGA variety, you must be further right than most of them in order to be accepted. Sorta like an old Chapelle joke that if you see one white boy with a group of thug brothers, lord only knows what crazy sh!t he's done to earn his position riding with them. lol

The price of entry for MAGA white boys for any black MAGA is you gotta do the most.

Is it me or he look 'off' ASF?

Black Teacher Defends Himself From Racist Latino Student

The backstory:
A latino student called his teacher, Mr. Ra’Kwon Smith, the n-word, and then squared up when he was told to leave the class. Later, the student called Mr. Smith the n-word again, and tried to trip him on the stairs.
After that, Mr. Smith turned the disrespectful student into a piñata:

Afterwards, the student got up and said “you going to jail n-word".

An Ocean 3 Times The Volume Of All Oceans Combined Found 700km Below Earths Surface

Picture this: an ocean so vast that it triples the combined volume of all the surface oceans on Earth, yet it’s not visible from the beach, cruise ship, or even a satellite. It exists, not splashing against shores or under the keel of boats, but ensconced deep within the Earth’s mantle at a depth of about 700 kilometers. This isn’t a setting from a Jules Verne novel; it’s a real scientific discovery that could rewrite the books on our planet’s hydrological secrets.

Discovering Earth’s Subterranean Ocean
In a groundbreaking study, researchers from Northwestern University have unveiled what can only be described as an aquatic treasure trove buried deep within the Earth. The discovery was made possible by examining the mineral ringwoodite, a type of blue rock that exists in the Earth’s mantle and has the unique ability to trap water within its structure. This revelation challenges the long-held beliefs about the origins of Earth’s water, suggesting that our oceans could have a source much closer to home than previously thought.

From Austin’s favorite coffee shops to the quiet corners of libraries where I spend my days weaving words, the idea that there’s a hidden ocean below us sparks conversations ranging from excited chats to deep, philosophical debates about our planet’s mysteries.

The Breakthrough in Deep Earth Science

Steven Jacobsen, a lead researcher at Northwestern University, explains that this massive subterranean ocean was detected using a network of 2000 seismographs spread across the United States. These instruments captured seismic waves generated by over 500 earthquakes. As these waves travel through the Earth, they move differently through wet rock compared to dry rock. This difference in speed was crucial in identifying the presence of such a vast amount of water so deep underground.

The implications of this find are immense. Jacobsen suggests that this reservoir of water could be why the ocean levels on our planet have remained relatively stable over millennia, despite geological changes. It’s a bit like discovering a backup water supply in your attic you never knew about, which could explain why your house has managed to keep cool even during the hottest summers.

Would White Evangelicals Be Supporting Israel If...

it was run by non white Ashkenazi jews? Ethiopians, Sephardic (brown) jews that were originally with the Moors in Spain and Portugal? North African jews? Just asking for a friend.

Lastly, people only talk about the treatment of Palestinians but no one talks about the rampant racism against non white Jews within Israel. The Ethiopian jews there go through the same things we do in America by cops and the military police. The same thing. Donald Sterling, deceased and former owner of the Clippers said as much in the taped conversation he had with his black gf. "They treat them like dogs" he said about Blacks in Israel.

What Crypto Dapps Do You Use?

Anybody into crypto Dapps? I've been getting into DeFi more and more (all you need is Coinstar and a phone , borrow crypto money, trade 24/7 .. I can see why the US doesn't like it .. bout to kick the banks to the curb ... As more and more "third tier" Nations get on board with crypto, there spending power will grow .. but I digress)

I been using Phantom wallet to trade Solana perpetuals (100x leverage, port up $20, trade $2000 worth) ... It's like Trust Wallet, but for the Solana ecosystem ...

... There is this artist on the Drip dapp who calls themselves Alkebulan ... African themed art pieces ..

Pretty cool ..

A White Author Calculated Just How Much Racism Has Benefited Her. Here’s What She Found


Exactly how much has racism benefited White Americans?

Journalist and author Tracie McMillan did the math: The advantages she’s gotten over her life from being White, she estimates, amount to $371,934.30.

To calculate that number, McMillan tallied those benefits and divided them into two categories: A family bonus, which includes money her parents spent on her college tuition, educational loans she got from her grandfather and an inheritance; and a social bonus, which includes jobs, apartments and access to credit she’s gotten throughout her life.

Those resources and capital, she concludes, wouldn’t have been available to her if it weren’t for her race.

In her new book, “The White Bonus: Five Families and the Cash Value of Racism in America,” which publishes Tuesday, McMillan traces just how much of her family’s modest wealth can be attributed to policies and practices that have systematically hurt Black Americans.

Through investigative research, interviews and personal recollections, McMillan examines how racism has shaped her life, as well as the lives of four other White, middle class families.

“It was the one story about White people that I didn’t know,” she says

McMillan, who grew up in rural Michigan and now lives in New York, didn’t have a particularly privileged upbringing by most standards. As she details in the book, she grew up in an abusive household and an unfortunate accident left her mother unable to care for her. In college, McMillan juggled numerous jobs to support herself, and as a working journalist, she’s had her own brushes with poverty.

Despite those hardships, McMillan says the financial advantages she’s experienced because of her race are undeniable. Her grandparents benefited from federal programs that largely excluded Black people, allowing them to build wealth that was then passed on to the next generation. That enabled her parents to help her pay to attend an elite university, which in turn opened doors to employment opportunities.
