.Greenwood, OK ("Black Wall Street")

.Twenty seven more towns in Oklahoma like Boley and Langston

.Nicodemus, KS

.Idlewild, MI ( resort place)

.Princeville, NC

.Hobson City’

.Weeksville, (Brooklyn, NY neighborhood circa 1835-)

.MOUND BAYOU, MS

Detroit's black bottom.

Note: older black Detroiters (probably 75 and above) remember a more safe community

In the 1940s there was less than 13% single parent homes in the black community

Early 1970s, 24% according to Brooking Institute graphs. From the vantage point back then, that looked bad

In 2017 it is said to be 72% single parent homes in the black community

In the 1920s, there were 20% or so black population in the US prison system and 75% white. It almost reflected the outside population. This was a time when racism was blatant and blk men were jailed for something as simple as alleged vagrancy violations, part of the "Black Codes", yet still made up less of prison population. African Americans are said to constitute nearly 50% of the prison population today

From Wikipedia on Greenwood, OK (Black Wall Street), about the 2 black men that started the extensive building in the community

...In 1906, Gurley moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma where he purchased 40 acres of land which was "only to be sold to colored".[8] Black ownership was unheard of at that time....

...Among Gurley's first businesses was a rooming house which was located on a dusty trail near the railroad tracks. This road was given the name Greenwood Avenue, named for a city in Mississippi. The area became very popular among black migrants fleeing the oppression in Mississippi. They would find refuge in Gurley's building, as the racial persecution from the south was non-existent on Greenwood Avenue...

In addition to his rooming house, Gurley built three two-story buildings and five residences and bought an 80-acre (32 ha) farm in Rogers County. Gurley also founded what is today Vernon AME Church.[2]

...Another black American entrepreneur, J.B. Stradford, arrived in Tulsa in 1899. He believed that black people had a better chance of economic progress if they pooled their resources, worked together and supported each other's businesses. He bought large tracts of real estate in the northeastern part of Tulsa, which he had subdivided and sold exclusively to other blacks. Gurley and a number of other blacks soon followed suit. Stradford later built the Stradford Hotel on Greenwood, where blacks could enjoy the amenities of the downtown hotels who served only whites. It was said to be the largest black-owned hotel in the United States.[2]..

.... Charles.W. Chappelle’s successfully designed a long-distance airplane. He won a medal for being the only African-American to invent and display an airplane at the spectacular 1911 First Industrial Airplane Show held in conjunction with the U.S. International Auto Show at Manhattan’s Grand Central Palace in New York City.[13] His airplane invention was written about in several of the African-American media, one foreign Ghana newspaper described it as a quadruplane, and others just wrote about the excitement of there being an African-American airplane inventor and taking a place in the history of aviation.[14] The event had a host of the well-established attending and speaking, and was covered by the media for two weeks. And, his airplane invention was an excitement for the African-American community. In a May 1911 issue of The Crises: A Record of the Darker Races, Social Uplift (page 7) published by the National Association of Colored People (NAACP) in New York City, there is a brief mention of C.W. Chappelle and his aviation invention.

In 1911, the first African-American airplane company was formed in Manhattan’s New York City at the then West 53rd Street Hotel Macco with $10,000.00 capital, ...

Charles.W. Chappelle also established trade with indigenous people of West Africa in the early 1900s. One of his goals was to modernize African infrastructure with wealth gained from the companies he ran

I started reading one with a really realistic female protagonist. I was so shocked at how accurate and down to earth she was written, i’d never seen anything like that in a male-authored manga before. But then halfway into the series it’s revealed, I shit you not, that the character is actually a dude whose brain was put into his dead sister’s body after a freak accident. The only reason the author was able to write the character so well was because he was writing a literal “”male brain”” into a female bodied character.

it is so fucking frustrating. all the exciting plots based on adventure, fantasy, action, psychological, etc. in manga are SHONEN. meaning the vast majority of protagonists are male. but most manga that feature female protagonists are shoujo, which are largely romance and slice of life. i want shonen style manga with women, but there are so few, and even when there are some, they either share the spotlight equally with a man, who often does everything while the woman cheers and 'wins with her pure heart', or they're just proxies for the male character, they basically exist for the writer to talk about how 'cool' the guy is from a 'woman's' point of view, it's a second person perspective story. or, they're schoolgirl sex fantasies, skimpy uniforms, basically porn.

the few there are, i have read and they still have problems with either sexualisation, the character following misogynistic tropes, or getting overshadowed by the guy.

PS5 Controllers, 2020 in Anime & Mars Rover 2020

WOOHOO!!! Happy New Year folks, we hope you are all safe where ever you are in the world. May the new year bring you lots of joy and laughter. At the start of this episode we wish to celebrate the fact that we have achieved 100 episodes, yay!! Now, first topic of the week is from Professor, and it is looking at the PS5, yes that is right, the PS5. We seriously manage to get our one and only Professor talking about the PS5, and positively too. We discuss changes being made to the controller and what it means for the future and the past. Confused? Well listen in to find out exactly what is happening, the discussion is quite interesting.

                Next up we have DJ bringing us the year ahead in Anime. We have a list of some things to look forward to and what we hope for. We discuss what is looking interesting and why. DJ tells us his hopes and discusses what he likes on the list, and so does Buck. We also have news about upcoming changes to Evangelion. That’s right grab hold of something and get ready for this as it is awesome. If you want to know what is happening you know what to do.

                Next up we have Buck and the new Mars Rover set to launch later this year for the latest mission to Mars from NASA. This is looking sweet. Remember we were talking in a previous episode last year about the training of NASA scientists happening in Australia in preparation for the next mission? This is it! Yep, the search for signs of life on Mars is going to the next level with the new Rover. Buck is starting to Geek out about this and will be keeping us updated as news comes to hand. If you want to find out more about what is happening on the newest mission listen in and see where the smiley face is.

                As normal we have the regular shout outs, remembrances, Birthdays, and special events. We wish to ask that if you are able to donate to help the Rural Fire Services, or any Firefighter battling the fires in Australia please do. We have posted links on our Facebook page to a few and there are many other options, but please help, thank you. Once again we wish everyone a Happy New Year, stay safe, look out for each other and stay hydrated.

1 Jan 1852 - Eugène-Anatole Demarçay, Frenchchemist who designed highly specialized apparatus for use in his research. A specialist in the emerging field of spectroscopy, he detected the presence of the rare earth element europium in 1896, and isolated it as the oxide europia in 1901. He helped Marie Curie to confirm the existence of another new element, radium, in 1898.

By eliminating sources of error, he made it possible to separate out purer samples of various rare earths than had previously been available.
