Indigenous suffering
No one has had it worse than the Native American. I will always wonder when a native american will ignite the biggest bomb ever in the usa.

How do you define Black Greatness
My Answer
I define Black Greatness, absent any desire to influence another's definition, as contentment.
I think when Black folk are happy, nothing like it exists anywhere else in humanity.
What is yours?
Education part Nth
Another multilog. I place a list of education posts in this one. I am admittedly tired of repeating myself. The saddest thing is how people in new articles repeat what I said countless times years ago.

Only one cento for this episode, for I wanted to share a little fictional prose.
Oh griot, sing from tween the years when the ant hordes drank Gold Mushrooms and the silver tree barks, and the years of the rise of the Daughters of Kus, there was an age undreamed of, when beaming gardens lay spread across the world like free rainbows beneath the stars.
the original quote is below , do you know who is it from? say in comments, I will not tell.:)
Know, oh prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the Sons of Aryas, there was an Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars.

Left hand tutorials
When I was a child I used both my hands. Unfortunately, influence from the majority is never insequential, positively or negatively, and I didn't do it as much. But I utilize the tutorials in Deviantart to spend time drawing with my left hand. No reason exists why all humans beings aren't reared to use both outside of poor rearing systems.
I place the list of tutorials at the following post, they are all graphite, but have fun.
https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2435&type=status
A fellow artists I am attached to on Deviantart just made over 5,000 watchers. Which is worthy of acclaim on a specialized site like Deviantart which is truly built for artists of all mediums/styles/disciplines, but not really the social landscapers , human or electronic, that poison all the largest websites based on their populace of users. I made a little artwork for them.

The New Space Engine
Particle physics is just that the comprehension of the physicality of particles in them selves and unto each other.
Now comprehend in the following explanation these are all names, you are free to use whatever names you want. Just because somebody said to call something one thing, doesn't mean you have to. Just because everyone around you uses a word for one thing, doesn't mean you have to. I will use commonly used terms simply for others to check what i say or search on available tools, not cause I wish to carry or support the nomenclature.
Now you have compounds like "H20" which is two "hydrogen atoms" with one "oxygen atom". But "hydrogen atoms" plus "oxygen atoms" or all others on the "periodic table of elements" are composed of "electrons"/"protons"/"neutrons" or emit "photons" or "neutrinos" plus other things. You comprehend the term particle physics. To comprehend the "hydrogen atom" you need to comprehend the "electron" plus other particles.
"protons" + "neutrons" are composed of "quarks" + "gluons".
The "electron" or "neutrino" or "photons" or "muons" + "quarks" or "gluons" are commonly known to be absent composite parts. But they each have different times of life. As you know, "photons" in certain conditions is the basis for visible light. "Electrons" or "Protons" or "Neutrons" make up human side all other complex biochemical system's, including the earth itself. They don't operate like "photons", or you will see everybody in a flash.
"gluons" are considered unstable. A nice way to think of it is the basis behind "Nuclear fission". In "nuclear fission", elements of the "periodic table" some call heavy based on the quantity of "protons" or "electrons" or "neutrons" like "Uranium"<circa 96 protons> for example have a natural decay. Which means what? Like the human body decays at death, unstable. "uranium" does the same thing, as a much smaller entity than a human body , and slowly losses "electrons"/"protons" /"neutrons" becoming lighter and lighter till "Iron" <circa 26 protons> if I am correct. The release of the particles is energy and that energy can heat things, like water. ala a "Nuclear power plant".
So comprehending the very tiniest of particles can help explain in more detail the grandest of actions. The race to a nuclear powered space ship engine will be better designed if the smallest of particles actions can be more easily calculated.

Black Speak
Someone on AALBC, Troy, , made an argument against my use of words. And I realized that the problem hasn't been in this instance or times before with others, that word use was different between me side another black person. The problem was I was unwilling to succumb to the majority in the black community in such an elemental aspect as language. And it connects to other aspects. I wonder how many Black people in Black groups in the USA oppose other Black groups in the USA merely cause they are the minority? The word democracy means rule of the people. But the people always rule. The question is, do the majority rule? When is individualism allowed, when the individual joins the majority only? All Language warrant management over time. Why? Cause sooner or later an individuals language can be damaging to a populace and can become a groups in said populaces language. Where in it can only lead to doom cause you can't bridge languages by definition opposed to each other.
