Black Culture Discussion Thread

As a whole I think religion is merely a coping mechanism. A method of soothing our need to solve the human existential crisis. Add in the all the trauma that encompasses the black experience, I see why we cling to religion so heavily.
It goes much deeper than that...

"Religion" in general has it's roots in the ancient Babylonian mystery school system, and the pagan "gods".

As far as the so called black experience, the root issue with people of color in the Western Hemisphere is we suffer from a lack of knowledge. We don't know who we are.

Bigger problem is a lot don't care either

Is it really a bigger problem? As above so below. 95% of an atom is empty space yet, the tiny portion of material (nucleus) that makes it up gives it it’s power (electromagneticism). Like Clarence 13x said, the 5% who need to know, know....
 


Right, I am saying worst case, what could be done with the data?

If what they did totHenrietta Lacks and HeLa cells don't make you fearful imagine what they know and don't tell folks.

DNA genome has been mapped already. Imagine what they really know but don't tell.

95 percent of DNA classified as junk is more than likely a misdirection to the public.
 
Yo, that is too dope. I never even thought about how easily Go-go could blend through African and black American cultures. It just never crossed my mind. But now it seems completely obvious.

If your apart of both sides, the bridge is seamless and transparent.

henrietta lacks comes to mind. Go do ya googles.

how so? while i understand maybe the moral concerns of the privacy angle (my understanding in the specific case of henrietta lacks is that they used her cancer/malignant cells without her consent, a fairly common practice, for research; but i am vaguely aware there was some racism concerns raised by the lacks family), i tend to think the net benefit of sharing the data of genetic is should outweigh the concerns of the privacy of the use of the data...that said, how the data might be used as leverage against people is likely the most immediate thing i can think being an issue

It's just creepy like a episode of Black mirror or get out.

Literally akin to keeping a person alive just to test stuff and see what happens.

We love to think the medical establishment is a safe clean space for intellectual research.

What we forget is how brutal discovery of the human is.

Before all this technology, Western medical establishment had a very barbaric approach.

A constant flow of dead bodies were needed for research. All kinda of illegall experiments we're done to ppl wot out there consent. Infecting blacks with stds and sending g them back to their communities just to see what happens.

Hell look at what's going on now with the drinking water in alot of black communities.

These folks don't have your best interest at all.

At one point it was a consensus on blacks not being able to feel pain so it was okay to torture and experiment on them.
That's the past.
Think about what goes on now?



The whole modern era built off a black woman when you think of it. We are all eating and loving off her body.
Makes me thinks about communion.
Black folks symbolicly eating a dead white mans flesh for eternal life while the whole world surviving off a black womans actual flesh.
Real life vampires.

German lab apologizes for publishing the genome of ‘immortal’ woman’s cell line

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...ory.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.ffeeacf8c7aa


A prestigious laboratory is in the midst of a dispute over its decision to publish the genome of one of the world’s most studied human cell lines: a set of cervical cancer cells, called HeLa cells, made famous by Rebecca Skloot’s 2011 book “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.”

The cells were taken in 1951 from Lacks, without her consent. Her descendants argue that the published genome may reveal genetic traits of family members.

The HeLa cells are exceptionally easy to grow in the lab and have become the cellular equivalent of lab rats. For decades, scientists have worked with these cells to unravel the secrets of cancer and develop vaccines and treatments.

After publishing the HeLa genome in an online journal last month, the researchers, led by Lars Steinmetz at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany, withdrew the data following a barrage of objections.

“It shouldn’t have been published without our consent. . . . That is private family information,” said Lacks’s granddaughter Jeri Lacks-Whye, according to a New York Times commentary by Skloot.
 
Been watching this guys videos since last night. GREAT knowledge that needs to be spread in our community. We're always talking about how the black community needs to put their money together and sustain on our own, but first we need to understand the basics as a community
