These days we have more movies and tv shows featuring a mostly black cast, with a black crew and team. But what about video games. Do you think that we're represented enough in video games? I don't feel like we are represented enough. We do have some games/characters made for us, but I feel like we could make more. I'm always interested in more games made by us, and for us.

Do you think gaming will get to a point where we're better represented?

"The Single Mother Experiment has failed."

This is pretty cool, a new mural has been created in Philadelphia to pay respects to hip-hop in the music industry. The mural is titled: "Know the Elements." It was created by artists Christian "Tame Artz" Rodriguez" and Bill Stroebel. I can't find much details on who or what was showcased in the mural, but it does state well-known artists.

If you want to see it in person in Philadelphia, you can do so on 9th Street and Cecil B. Moore Avenue.

Also, the website for this mural can be found below, though it doesn't show the actual mural. If anyone has a picture of it, I'd love to take a look myself.

The Holidays are fast approaching, whether it be Christmas, Kwanzaa, or another holiday. What are your plans for the holiday season? Will you be visiting family? Going on a much needed vacation? Or just relaxing and not doing anything?

For me, I celebrate Christmas, but I don't take it seriously or anything. I'll put up a tree and get some gifts for the nieces and nephews, sisters, brother and my mom, but I don't go to church, or go out for much of anything else aside from shopping for gifts.

What is your plan for the holiday season? What will you be celebrating?

I'm open to being corrected as I have never listened to his podcast and only know about him via other youtubers.
First, I feel badly for his wife. She's been publicly embarrassed and humiliated. That said, from what it seems I understand why he's stepping out.

He married her before he was anything it seemed. Anything in terms of his not being an accomplished brother. He married the best thing at the time, my guess, thinking he didn't think he could do any better. He built a business basedo on a good marriage and with that got a lot of women hollaring. No different than the women in the church going after the good looking but very married Deacon or Pastor.

After I heard his wife go through a whole lot of biblical rant thingies, I understand why he's stepping out. I could not see myself married to her. Same with most men. Not her fault. She's being her. Derrick made vows and he's wrong for not honoring them. But from what I saw of her in this present state? I am breaking them vows if I was married to her. A case can be said he put in her in that state. That could be very true, BUT the fact remains her rant made her look like a woman most men won't want, especially a man who is.....pause....good looking like her husband.

She's not a bad woman. She'd make a fantastic wife and mother. She is a fantastic mother and wife I presume. She would be that for a guy who is born again, steeped in the bible, etc. Derrick ain't. At least not anymore.

And my guess? She is badgering the f*ck out of him. Where you at? Check in. Who's that? Completely understandable if you've been cheated on BUT the double edged sword of that is it ends up pushing the average guy away from you. Its messy. The tragedy for her is that if they break up, whomever breaks up with whom, more than likely most men ain't gonna step to her. She got kids, she's on some other ish with the biblical ish.

I don't think she did anything wrong in their marriage probably. She seems a solid sista and its very sad to see a black marriage with kids go through this type of drama but we are here. And its a complete mess. She got a choice, put up with it and be embarrassed to some extent or be lonely with kids. He's too far gone. He's not gonna be loyal. He got a taste of the streets and he's gonna stay there till he's not able to pull anymore.

Terrence Howard is ready to walk away from acting. During an interview with Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet for the upcoming Peacock series The Best Man: The Final Chapters, Howard revealed his decision to call it quits and make room for the new generation of thespians establishing themselves as stars. While explaining his decision, the Chicago native recalled his conversation with iconic actor Sidney Poitier about retiring.

“This is the end for me. I don’t know if it’s the end for the rest of them,” he said, referring to his Best Man castmates. “I retired two years ago, for the most part. I was done. I asked Sidney Poitier 10 years ago does he want to do any more work, and he said, ‘Why would I spend my last 10 years doing an impersonation of myself?’ And that’s what I’ve gotten to.”



“I’ve gotten to the point where now I’ve given the very best that I have as an actor. Now I’m enjoying watching other new talent come around, and I don’t want to do an impersonation of myself.”

An interesting film into how white supremacists discuss and draw up their plans. Can be looked at as a case study into how they conduct their business:

The best Santa I’ve seen yet

Keep your power tool on you at all times so you can return to sender. Black people, anytime you step foot out in public, you are in enemy territory. Period. Think and act like it.

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

If the good Lord made anything finer than a Black woman, then He kept it to Himself.

If staying on code was a face, but we won't boycott a shoe company or professional sports League to save our lives! The Flint water crisis was a deliberate act and no one will pay for this crime against humanity.

I actually read about this a while back and this came in my feed so it reminded me of it. Brazil is known for having escaped Nazis but not migrant confederate white boys.

WHY????
I’ve seen some crazy stuff at Black people’s funerals over the years. This is in the top three. I have to find the original video, but this edited version is hilarious. Login to view embedded media

I made it all from scratch…here’s the before picture.

I’ll make a video when it’s done and I take it out of the spring form pan.

Until we create our own infrastructure again with us by us we are going to continue to suffer as FBA'S first and the "Greater Black American ommunity" second. We have to stop wanting to contribute to the dominate society and all they giving us is booty to kiss after we make it pop for them.
