Steve Harvey, Monique & the Neflex Controversy A two-part video popped up yesterday on Bing about a heated conversation between Steve Harvey and Monique. Even though I did not follow this story about Monique that happened some time ago, I did hear about it. And so, now after the videos aired, I understand it better. It seems that Monique claimed that she had been Black-listed [ie Black balled] a few years back and she became upset and made some comments against, Steve Harvey, Ophrah Winfrey, Lee Daniels and Whoopi Goldberg. Prior to this incident, apparently Monique became angry because after some kind of performance, she was only paid half a million dolla…

I was looking for successful people to follow on Instagram and I stumbled upon this article. https://blackwealthrenaissance.com/2020/10/26/10-fast-growing-black-owned-companies-blazing-through-the-pandemic/ The next two years are going to be full of opportunities for those with the right mindset. Are you in any of the industries listed and what are your experiences? I wasn’t aware a Black Company bought GreenDot: The flood of customers forced OneUnited into expanding to 100,000 new locations and acquiring Green Dot, which allows people to deposit cash on the go in locations nationwide like Wal-Mart and CVS.

Time and time again, black America falls for the Democrat party dupe every four-year election cycle without missing a beat, and it still hasn't learned its lesson. NO, the script has never flipped and neither the Republican, Independent, Green or other parties (not mentioned here) have supplanted its violent history or taken its place. Generally speaking, blacks drink the Kool-Aid religiously, Jim Jones-Guyana style, succumbing to the rush of old and phony promises made by failing black leadership, big government, corporate America; big tech, pharma, finance, banking, and the list goes on and on and on. Will black America ever come to its senses and peel back the onion to…

The 4th of July / Independence day comes once per year to the majority of Americans. Dependence day happens every day for those that dont respect our flag and feel they are entitled to the fruits of the labor of our patriots and hard working American’s. Our beautiful flag represents all the freedoms our brave men and women of the military sacrificed their lives for going all the way back to our independence from Britain. Dont let the change in demographics and the obnoxious voice of a few obscure just how great our country is. Happy Independence day and God Bless America !!!!

St. Thomas University has renamed its law school after Attorney Ben Crump: https://www.diverseeducation.com/demographics/african-american/article/15306595/st-thomas-university-law-school-named-benjamin-l-crump-college-of-law Ben Crump is the 1st practicing AfroAmerican lawyer to have a school named after him. There is only one other U.S. law school bearing the name of an AfroAmerican. That was the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall.😎

My comment based on the articles, and my own comprehension beforehand. Many people had the idea for a memorial day at the end of that war. Who originated it is functionally a hard question cause that will require knowing who was the first to make plans as many celebrations at the end of the war between the states to memorialize the soldiers was present. But, while the first conceived is hard or near impossible to answer, the first on record can be achieved.

https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/20/politics/hegseth-second-signal-chat-military-plans/index.html The GOP went berserk when former defense secretary (SECDEF) Lloyd Austin went to a few medical appointments without telling anyone. He didn't give away zny military secrets. OTOH, current SECDEF Pete Hegeseth (Hedgehog) for the 2nd time has been accused of sharing sensitive information with the wrong people. Of course, the democrats aren't going hard in the paint demanding Hedgehog resign or be fired. Hedgehog isn't qualified to run an out-house. He's way out of his league.

I haven't watched ANY of those "Madea" movies. Purposely. Nor have I watched Martin Lawrence's "Big Mamma" movies. I think both franchise films disgrace and insult Black women by portraying them as masculine and ultra-violent, and really those movies make them easier targets for racist violence. While the older White woman is portrayed as a sweet, kind hearted, cookie baking grand ma....Tyler's Madea portrays the older Black woman as a foul mouthed, combative, violent, half-masculine, heathen who not only deserves heavy handed treatment but is strong enough to and built to tolerate as much abuse as you can inflict on her.

I'd actually never seen Paula Dean prior to seeing these videos. I had no idea what she looked like and I have never seen her cooking show. My reaction to her use of the N-word was that people are over reacting. It just seems inconsistent to hold Paula to a higher standard regarding the use of the N-word in her private life than we hold a comedian or rapper who uses the word in front of thousands. I don't use the N-word or any profanity much today but as a teen and young adult I used the n-word all the time. Is was part of the way me and I peer spoke. However after seeing this video I can see how and why she would the n-word. Paul is clearly unsophisticat…

I’m close to turning in my Liberal card and giving full sway to my inner bigot. I really hate right-wing Conservatives but, more and more, Liberals and their repressive politically-correct demands are starting to irk me. I’m tired of being expected to walk in lock-step with their party line which requires such things as heaping praise and awards on Caitlyn Jenner. I accept that this LGBT poster child should be free to embrace "its" inner identity, but that doesn’t nullify my right to think that Caitlyn is anything other than a cross-dressing male who I find annoying and ridiculous. I’m also tired of risking the homophobe designation because Gays turn me off …

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — South Africa's Caster Semenya set a meet record in the 800 meters at the Prefontaine Classic on Saturday while controversy swirls about a rule that could limit her from competing at the distance. Semenya defended her title in the event in 1 minute, 55.92 seconds, which is also the top mark in the world this year. American Ajee Wilson was second in 1:56.86. Semenya is the two-time Olympic and three-time world champion in the 800. But she could be impacted in the future by a new rule that has drawn criticism. The IAAF, track and field's international governing body, announced last month that starting on Nov. 1 it will…

I listen to podcasts far more often than watch TV or read books. The Hidden Brain podcast is one I listen to regularly. This program (embedded below) made me think our discussion forum and why people believe what they believe despite strong evidence to the counter. More importantly, the program provides a compelling (at least to me) theory on why expert knowledge and facts that conflict with one's opinion doesn't lead to a change in one's opinion. I've seen it countless time here and it is fascinating, for it is not intuitive to someone like me. For example if someone, like @daniellegfny, presents me with data that reveals Covid-19 is the 3rd l…

Happy Independence day to the majority of hard woking, patriotic Americans. Dependence day is for those with a sense of entitlement who continue to make excuses for irresponsible decisions and irresponsible lifestyles. Dependence day should not be celebrated. We do celebrate and continue to help those who are truly in need due to circumstances beyond their control or those that just fell on some hard times and need help in the short term. Rather than search for excuses, search for solutions. Liberals hate solutions but love excuses. happy 4th of July !!!!!!

Brittany Griner's Appeal; Will She Be Freed?

I mentioned in a couple of threads how when I got into politics I would get on the microphone and go to meetings cussing, shouting, and criticizing White folks, the system, racism, and a host of other things. And to my surprise (when I first started doing it) a lot of White folks LOVED it and would come up to me after the meeting or rally and shake my hand or have a conversation with me and many of them would give me or whatever organization I was in at the time money. I'm not talking about money with an agenda attached to it....although I did get those offers as well. I mean digging in their purse and just handing me $100 or $50 or sometimes $400 and say "I hop…

Florida was one of or the 1st states to end lockdowns during the pandemic. The virus didn't wipe out the state. Ending vaccine mandates for schoolchildren will be interesting.

Whitney Houston has checked back into rehab. Houston has a problem, and she realizes she needs help. There have been rumors for a while that Houston has been indulging in drugs and alcohol, but now it has been confirmed. Houston is trying to get herself ready for the movie Getting To Happy, which is the sequel to her box office hit Waiting To Exhale. The original movie came out in 1995, and all the original stars are coming back for the sequel (Angela Bassett, Loretta Devine and Lela Rochon). Forest Whitaker will be directing, and Terry McMillan just finished the movie script. Will Houston be ready to step in front of the cameras? Can she beat her addictions? The past yea…

Talk about starting out with a bang and ending up with a whimper! America has unceremoniously pulled out of Iraq after the “shock and awe” of this war was reduced to weariness and futility. With this evacuation, Iraq is now responsible for its own security because the enemy has not been routed and this land is still in danger. Lotsa luck. What did this ambitious mission accomplish? It was a military action that killed thousands of people, laid waste a country, cost billions of dollars, alienated our allies, and polarized America. Did waging battle on foreign soil deter terrorism in the homeland? No. Credit for that goes to the CIA. But the brave troops putting their…

Our superstar MVP point guard, Derek Rose, was healthy, as was his backcourt partner, Rick Hamilton. The starting line-up was rarin to go and the "bench mob" ready to step up.

For me, writing a book can be compared to a mystical quest. It’s like the story already exists in my creative realm, ready to be “downloaded” into the hard drive of my brain. Any book begins with inspiration, and the ongoing triangle that puts black women in competition with white ones for the affections of black men was mine. It’s a topic I’ve never read a book about so I became motivated to write “The Only One”, a novel based on this scenario. I wasn’t sure where this subject would lead me but, equipped with my personal observations and input from my children and their friends, I sat down at my computer, placed my fingers on its keyboard, accessed its word proces…

Can you describe how you think? Its a pretty difficult question. @Troy @Cynique This is open to anyone. A different way if answer the question is as follows. Can you describe the difference between hiw it feels when you are thinking and you solve a problem and when you don't. However dont refer to the emotional or physical sensations. Just use mental ones.

RUDDY COLORED: Altering Script in the Face of Science Ruddy- Often described as a “healthy red,” more brownish. Example: Ruddy Shelduck, Ruddy Turnstone http://birdersconundrum.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-bird-color-conundrum-red-brown-and.html This is one of many words that have been altered within the translations of ancient script so as to extract the AFRICAN presence in the ancient scripts. The science of 'color' is, I believe, a vital subject to understand with regards to how it has been used for and against humanity. But this is also a broad subject, therefore, I hope to add to it by and by. Since this term, ruddy, has recently been u…

Background: My entire family is of Afro-Latino origins (I'm 100% Puerto Rican with most of my ancestors coming to the island from Africa) however, due to a rare genetic condition, despite my family being entirely black or brown, my skin is incredibly pale and I'm constantly, and frustratingly, mistaken for someone of European lineage. When I was a small child, when I first started dealing with this, my mother gave me a bracelet with my rather unique Hispanic name on it so I wouldn't forget where I came from. I've since more than outgrown that small bracelet and, since now I don't really like wearing bracelets, it sits tucked away in my closet. But, now that I'm going…
