https://www.denverpost.com/2024/09/13/elijah-mcclain-paramedic-sentence-cichuniec/ The paramedic responsible for administering the Ketamine shot that killed Elijah McClain is being released from prison. After 6 months in the penalty, the same judge who put the former paramedic in prison has reduced his sentence. This is a move to which Black folks need to pay attention. Even when race soldiers and white supremacists are found guilty and incarcerated, they're usually set free earlier than their sentencing. We cannot rest believing these cases are closed or justice has been served after the vigil, t-shirts, civil suit and co…

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/-just-exploded-springfield-woman-says-never-meant-spark-rumors-haitian-rcna171099 On cue, somebody accuses Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio of eating pets. Former POTUS Orange Julius picked up on this BS and used it as a talking point during the debate. Surely, he's repeating it at rallies too. Interestingly, it's the Black and Brown immigrants who are being targeted with the most ridiculous sh8t. White immigrants aren't being threatened with deportation or accused of using up resources that should be spent on US citizens. The hypocrisy in the immigration issue is Bla…

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article292442599.html Pro football player star WR Tyreek Hill was speeding on his way to work. An aggressive cop turned a traffic stop into a full blown over-reaction on his part. Tyreek says he could've handled the traffic stop differently. He also acknowledged that as Black man he was lucky it didn't go in another direction. The sheriff's deputy has been placed on administrative leave. Semi-standard operating procedure nowadays.😎

@umbrarchist I promised that when I had more time I would go into a brief explanation of the Yakub theory as taught by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Although I don't KNOW if it's true or not since I wasn't around to witness it...I believe it because it makes more sense than some "evolution" garbage that White folks and ONLY White folks came up with...and people of color later on began to just "accept" like most things White folks present to them....to explain their origins. Forget the bullshit you've seen and heard on the internet CLAIMING to explain Yakub, who he was, and what he did or what Elijah Muhammad said about the making of White people. Forget …

In all humanity , the last few centuries have been a time of male domination over women. The biggest legacy from that is the promoting in many homes, to male children, through amale figure or media completely designed by males promoting a male dominant agenda, the role of male + the role of female. The problem is when you have a man raised to think male , boy or man , is superior to female, girl or woman, in all ways then you get a problem when a female reaches any level of superiority over a male. Why? Cause the identity of male in said homes isn't from self alone, it is from relationship to female. For example, a male who is unemployed, living in a home tha…

My issue is that the NYPD was given an order by the law, they failed to do it. Do they go to prison? This is the truest issue with law enforcement in the usa,holistically. It has no way to be policed itself. Many people in local media talk about oversight but law enforcement is meant to be the liason of the government itself. So when law enforcement, the liason commits crimes, who is supposed to put them in jail? who? I don't see anyone and thus the only solution for people who get stop and frisked illegally by law enforcement is to move to somewhere where they will not be OR stay in nyc and eat the crow. NYC from new amsterdam to anytime in the future was and never will…

I'm not religious, but the belief that our sista Sonya Massey's murder was demonic and a manifestation of a spiritual battle SHOULD be on the lips of every so-called Christian...especially Black Christian....in the United States. I personally think it was just a racist doing what racists do which is harm and mistreat people of color; however to a Christian...for somebody to be murdered after uttering the name of Jesus -should be alarming. And the fact that it's not, and the conversation has pretty much "moved on" from this tragedy is disturbing. What these non-Black people discussed in these videos and their insight were not only SPOT ON but it was actuall…

It didn't take long for a 14-year old white boy to show up with his AR-15 cutting down 4 people with 9 folks injured. The school resource officer is being hailed as a hero for preventing more loss of life. The shooter and his father are being charged with multiple counts. These same individuals were interviewed by the FBI last year because something this teenager posted raised red flags. FBI let it go. Mean…

https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/31/california-slavery-reparations-bills-unraveled-over-gavin-newsom-amendments-00176957 The California reparations bill stalled before making it to a floor vote. A democratic senator introduced the bills. Yet, it's believed the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC) may have undermined the bills because they didn't write them. Reads like that n8gga sh8t. Ridiculous if such is the case. Unsurprisingly, some of the biggest obstacles to any Black progress are fellow Black folks. All skin folk aren't kin folk. We know reparations of any kind for Black folks is a long shot. St…

The solution is simple, figure the bus routes that have the lowest percentage of fair evasion and then using 10% as a delimiter, stop all bus routes where the fair evasion is greater than ten percent. All the services in NYC from the bus to the subway to the projects were all started for sectors in the white populace of nyc, not the entire white populace in new york city, plus not the entire populace of new york city, but mayors or others [ushed to expand these services to all in new york city as if they were free. Just cut the bus services where the fair evasion is greater or equal to a certain percentage. It is simple, but no elected official will do that be…

Russia, Ukraine, China and US debt are messing with the economic future of this technological planet? Spaceship Earth is a Mess! Believing in ideologies is nonsense. The people who claim to be Capitalists want the workers kept ignorant. Adam Smith: Download Wealth of Nations, it has been in the public domain, and free on the internet, since 2001. Search it for "and account", you will find multiple instances of "read, write and account". Why doesn't the right or the left advocate mandatory accounting/finance in the schools?

Greetings, I was recently banned from the StraightDope message board. I got a good laugh out of it. But we are approaching the 23rd anniversary of a world changing event. It was not a Physics Changing event. Neil DeGrasse Tyson sent out a public letter on 9/12/2001 admitting that he lived 4 blocks from Ground Zero and had to leave his home because of the dust. However I am not aware of his discussing the Physics of the Destruction of the Towers since then. Living in New York he should see skyscrapers quite often and being an astrophysicist he should understand some fundamental things about them. How does the steel have to be distributed…

Had a pretty interesting conversation with a Hebrew Israelite brother and sister last night over some tea, coffee, and a bean pie....lol. Straight choppin' it up! After we finished and got up, there was nothing on that table but some empty porcelain cups and a foil pan without so much as a CRUMB in that mug....lol. Apparently they believe that race and racial lineage isn't determined by...or atleast isn't JUST determined by....phenotype and what color a person is but by what race their FATHER is. As it relates to us as AfroAmericans; they seem to believe in two major lines: The line of Edom (whom most of us call White folks or Caucasians) and the line…

A Short History of Hair Discrimination-- Bad Hair This thread is in reference to the Origins of African Hair and how this trait has become a confusion due to how it has been re-defined today. Today, scientist here in the western world have groups African hair type in the definition that includes 'hair that curls'. Historically, humans have reproduced and formed distinct cultures over the course of thousands of years. Some cultures have been defined based on a set(s) of common practices and also genetic traits that they share. Today, many people will express traits that can be seen in all humans. For example, when it comes to dominant traits that are…

https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/dnc-harris-trump-campaign-news-08-23-24/index.html Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.) dropped out of the POTUS race today. He's having his name removed from the ballot in 10 battleground states. In what should not be a shock or surprise, RFK Jr. is throwing his support behind former POTUS Orange Julius. After masquerading as an Independent candidate, RFK Jr. has fully revealed himself leaning to the Right. It has been said that RFK Jr. may be looking for a seat in the administration if former POTUS OJ wins the election in November. The reality show that American politics ha…

The 2024 Democratic National Convention (DNC) is being held in Chicago this week. The DNC will officially nominate VP Kamala Harris to run for POTUS. POTUS Joe Biden will pass the torch. Plenty folks will speak to support the nominee. The DNC starts with Pro-Palestinian protests outside the United Center. They are demanding a cease-fire in Gaza. Doubtful anyone will make such an announcement this week. I know our very own @aka Contrarian lives in the great state of Illinois. I'm wondering how far she lives from the windy city. Otherwise, it would be great if we had a boots on the ground correspondent at the DNC r…

I'm in my mid 50s. That's not old, however I guess that's considered middle aged. I don't feel or look like I thought I would back when I was in my 20s and often wondered about how my life would be if I lived to be this age. It may sound strange but I often compared myself with Mike Tyson who's a few years older than me. Back in the 90s I tried to imagine a young and buff hard core Tyson being a middle aged man of 40 or 50 and what he'd be like.....lol. It was funny to even think about. But this is Tyson...at 58. Not in PERFECT shape but....shit. I wouldn't have thought he'd look like this or even still be trying to half-way fight people …

If so, this is an incredible day! Happy Birthday @aka Contrarian and may you enjoy this special day and many more!!! This is a very special month for me because I have a lot of relatives who were born this month. My uncle lived to be 100 years old was born in the month of August. My Grandmother was born in this month, my Step-father was born in this month and he just had a birthday and is now 87 years old.

A search of the web today will reveal that the Democrats and the left have gone out of their way over the last 15+ years or so to erase, invalidate and / or debunk any claim, assertion or likewise that the Democrats were (basically) responsible for starting the KKK. Is the public being gaslighted on these affirming claims, or are they untrue? The following several links are but (now) hard to find examples that swing against the Democrats. https://carolmswain.com/2017/05/the-inconvenient-truth-about-the-democratic-party/ "the Democratic Party defended slavery, started the Civil War, founded the KKK, and fought against every major civil rights act…

This thread was spun off another one where the issue came up about men trying to be controlling. First of all I want TOTAL HONESTY.....not politically correct statements and feminist ideology. I personally believe in fairness and totally equal rights between men and women, however I still recognize that the two are different and those differences compliment eachother and should be celebrated. Having said that, whether it's by nature or by social engineering....men tend to be more aggressive and action taking than women. It's a fact...whether it's good or bad. So my questions are this............. As a woman would you rather be CONTROLLED by a man (…

The populace in African can use to have better trials and studies based on is populace who have genetic specifics that did and will yield different results in any trial in comparison to other populaces in humanity. The fiscal problem is also simple. The African continent doesn't have firms or governments with the money to invest in research and trials expansive enough for the problem stated above.

Joe infiltrated the KKK and thwarted an assignation attempt on then, Democratic presidential candidate, Barack Obama.

I've Never had the desire to be woman. I love being a man. Being a man (and a boy ofcourse...lol) has been what I know since birth, so I know how that feels. However, from time to time I've been very curious about how women think....lol. How do they arrive at the conclusions they arrive. How do they make their decisions. When they see and interact with men, what goes through their minds.

@frankster I'm not sure why you would find the concept of "degrees of Blackness" so much more divisive. It's not like AfroAmerica hasn't ALREADY been divided since it's inception by degrees of Blackness. Most mixed and light skinned people have historically enjoyed privileges that the majority of our people weren't privy to, whether they asked for those privileges or not. In the past most mixed and light skinned people saw themselves not only as different than other AfroAmericans but in many ways BETTER than other AfroAmericans. Today this isn't so much the case AS MUCH as it was in the past...but it's still there in many circles. Infact, many AfroAmer…

https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/kamala-harris-trump-election-08-06-24/index.html Yesterday, VP Kamala Harris selected Governor Tim Walz (MN) as her running mate in bid for the White House. VP Harris' pick makes political sense because Gov. Walz ticks the boxes in appealing to swing voters. America is most comfortable with a paternalistic older white man either in the White House or in close proximity to it. In the spirit of the Olympics,if the Democrats were a gymnastics team, before POTUS PJB had a debacle of a debate and cognitive decline, he fell off the balance beam and failed to stick the landing.

I find it VERY interesting how the international and British press are covering the race riots mass protests over in the UK. I find it even MORE interesting how the police and local authorities are reacting (or not) to them. Here in America, 2 cops can shoot down a gentle, attractive (Does being attractive really make a difference? Usually with men), unarmed Black woman in her night gown (sad just thinking about it). Contrast that with England, where every night you've had entire gangs of angry red-faced White men roaming around with bats and axes smashing property, burning cars, threatening people, and even assaulting police officers....yet you haven't heard …

https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/31/donald-trump-nabj-interview-00172104 Former POTUS Orange Julius had a meeting with the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ). Instead of making any case for what he plans to do for Black folks, former POTUS OJ was combative, insulted his hosts and doubled down on his ignorant rhetoric. Not that we should have expected anything different but former POTUS OJ clearly did not use the opportunity to ingratiate himself with Black folks. Former POTUS OJ is consistent in letting Black folks know he's doesn't and never will give a d8mn about then. Surely, that intervie…
