The U.S. government has allowed a Nigerian family to "seek asylum" because the father owned a print shop & Boko Haram supposedly wanted him to print some pamphlets. So they ran to the U.S. illegally and lived in the New York city homeless system until white people noticed his son was a chess prodigy. 5 years later and now they have asylum. I wonder if Black Americans can seek asylum in other countries from white supremacy? Nah,we don't run,we fight. Nigerian child chess prodigy granted US asylum

Truly good morning 🌄 🥲
Login to view embedded media My #pov on the situation is no one is immune to bouts of DEPRESSION, that could lead to self-harm ideology which could include making a plan to END one's life. A bit like the common cold there is no cure for these onsets of mental health crisis. We need to end the stigma,💚🌱🧠🔥 so that our loved ones can know they have a confidant they can confide in until these thoughts subside. Without having a label placed on them! If the mindset/states of highs and lows are constant then maybe it would need to be diagnosed....

This article is a reposting of an article at the UK's daily mail newspaper Website (link to original post follows at the end of this article and my comment on the article):

Joe Biden on Wednesday apologized for the 'unimaginable cruelty' of slavery, which he referred to as America's 'original sin', and pledged $55 billion in investment to the continent.

Speaking during a gathering of almost all African leaders in Washington DC - the first since Barack Obama convened a summit in 2014 - Biden expressed regret for the past, but insisted: 'The United States is all in on Africa's future.'

During a White House dinner honoring African leaders and their spouses, Biden addressed what he called America's 'original sin' - the enslavement of millions of people - and honored their descendants and the broader African diaspora community in the United States.

My Comment/Opinion:

****************************

Just more passive aggressive "anybody but you" exclusion of the long overdue dues of Black American Freedmen.
Notice anytime momentum is going regarding our dues or addressing ongoing hate crimes against us,
the subject is overgeneralized to ignore us by focusing on others.

How is this any different than apologizing to every scam victim except the one you scammed,
every household that was robbed except the one you stole from,
everyone who lost someone to murder except the family of the one you killed?

In the shadow the Brooklyn Bridge, a monument to another icon of the borough has been erected—that of hip hop legend Biggie Smalls.
Standing nine-foot tall, the sculpture pays homage to Kings County musical royalty in both style and function. Adorned with a crown and holding a scepter-cum-microphone, his stainless-steel body is embedded with solar-powered speakers that sound out a playlist curated by DJ Mister Cee, the man credited with kickstarting Biggie’s career.

The decision to pair classic sculptural techniques with modern technology is a bricolage somewhat akin to hip hop itself, artist Sherwin Banfield tells Artnet News: “I’m a traditionally trained figurative sculptor and wanted to take something classic then remix or sample it with something new and fresh.”
Cast in the Brooklyn foundry owned by Bill Makky, best known for bronzing the Wall Street Bull, the work is dotted with references to Biggie, most obviously in the form of his first studio album enmeshed in the piece using resin.
The sonic sculpture is the latest art project funded by Downtown Brooklyn Partnership and the Dumbo Improvement District, two organizations dedicated to enhancing the cultural life of local public spaces. With the 50th anniversary of hip hop approaching, the organizations thought it fitting to celebrate Biggie, née Christopher Wallace, a musician who was a trailblazer for the genre before being killed at the age of 24.

“Giving space to new kinds of monuments and works is what a public art fund is all about,” said Alexandria Sica, President of the Dumbo Improvement District. “This is a spectacular piece that will greet countless New Yorkers.”

Titled “Sky’s the Limit in the County of Kings,” the sculpture was Banfield’s response to a call for New York city artists to propose a work to stand at the entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge. The Queens-based artist had previously sketched out a design for a monument dedicated to Christopher Wallace, so when his cousin told him about the open call, he promptly polished the shelved project and sent it over.
“The location had a profound impact on the work,” Banfield said. “It’s on a hill, and I wanted viewers to ascend towards a regal monument and be welcomed with open arms and two essential human qualities: the voice through a microphone and love via a heart.”
The Parsons-trained artist has previously received New York commissions for sculptural pieces in Van Cortlandt Park and Riverside Park.
The public art installation is the latest Brooklyn art tribute to Biggie following a pair of murals in Bed-Stuy and a commemorative MetroCard released on what would have been his 50th birthday.
The work will remain on display through Spring 2023

The fact that this was not a jury of her peers, justice will has been served!!!

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Global banking giants are starting a 12-week digital dollar pilot with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the participants announced on Tuesday.

Citigroup Inc, HSBC Holdings Plc, Mastercard Inc and Wells Fargo & Co are among the financial companies participating in the experiment alongside the New York Fed's innovation center, they said in a statement. The project, which is called the regulated liability network, will be conducted in a test environment and use simulated data, the New York Fed said.

The pilot will test how banks using digital dollar tokens in a common database can help speed up payments.

Earlier this month, Michelle Neal, head of the New York Fed's market's group, said it sees promise in using a central bank digital dollar to speed up settlement time in currency markets.

This will be the death of freedom. All bank accounts will be directly attached to the government and we will no longer be able to use cash.

Payton Gendron, the anti-Black racist terroristic demon that murdered a dozen Black people at the Tops Supermarket in Buffalo, NY, will plead Guilty under 1 condition: and that is to not face the death penalty.

The evil caucasity, cowardice, lack of full accountability, and outright entitlement!
They would laugh him out of court if he was Black.
Talk about trying to pressure innocent people to have mercy for the merciless.

Seems to say to hell if they were born in the states, Black immigrants specifically should be shut out of society. Many agreed with the message and the image.

You have to give @TheBlackChannel his due. He call it again.

If you are not following The New Black Media. You are behind.

I'm just curious and want to spark a little productive discussion as reparations by state are becoming more popular.

Since foreign languages are helpful for many reasons, including memory, IQ enhancement, job opportunities, and cultural understanding, then why wouldn't it be a great idea to teach your children how to speak at least one foreign language that would benefit them in their geographical region; especially FBA children.

The languages that I would recommend teaching FBA children (when they're growing up) is French, Spanish, or Chinese.

The reason I've chosen these languages specifically is because they have weight within the global world and market, so they have more value than other arcane and non-well known languages.

If you know a foreign language and you're FBA, then please teach your children that language; it'll help them tremendously in the future, and they would appreciate it.

Login to view embedded media I'm just here to see who says "let's investigate the Black cop's past" instead of keeping the blame on the white pig who falsely arrested him.

I've been forgetting to upload my receipts to the site My Black Receipt – Buy Black and Upload Your Receipt

.. back when it first started, it logged $1.07 million spent with Black owned businesses in 6 weeks (most of that, probably in the DC area, where the project is based, so I would say nationwide it was 3x that in 2020. Now, I'm sure it's $5-8mill more in 2022) ...

I think it's important to keep showing what we can do quantitatively when we all get on code ...✊🏿

I see they have another promotion ... Check out the site, if you can #B1
