    It is a psychological norm for individuals to not empathize with issues that do not affect them. History is often written by those who win in battle or conquer the minds of a population. America and much of this world have had a one-sided telling of history that is perpetuated into society. The victims of this perspective have been the descendants of Africa and other indigenous people around the world. We do not know how the Continent would have been if not interfered with. However, what if a new paradigm was created where Africa and its nations maintain a global superiority on this Earth? "BlackWash: The Untold Stories of Reverse Racism" produces this narrati…

    Is it possible for an individual, not politician (because most of them are well off anyway), to believe in Democratic Socialism when they are financially successful. Sure, when a person is financially struggling, Socialist programs are very appealing. For example. politicians like Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and AOC promise free college tuition and socialized healthcare that won't bankrupt an individual when they get sick. In some instances very progressive candidates promise to abolish student loan debt, which can be very devastating to someone who owes such debt. They also promise higher taxes on the rich to pay for th…

  6. This is sure going to upset a lot of folks. A study from Australia's Queensland of Technology has found that the average Bitcoin enthusiast is a calculating psychopath with an inflated ego. Now, I wouldn't go that far. But I would definitely say some don't seem to care about the well being of other Blacks and enjoy disparaging those who defend our people who still struggle. And most do get dressed in the morning. I guess this explains on the part of some, their fascination with Donald Trump and belief this proven racist is a really great guy, owns the stairway to heaven, the escalator and probably the high speed elevator, too.

    I don't know if Frank James was the shooter in the subway, but if he was, he offers an interesting query challenge. NYC's black community always had black people in it, who love to suggest a usage of violence is incorrect. The reason why is complicated, it isn't merely about right or wrong. But, one of the juxtaposes between white controlled media of nyc /the black church in the black community of NYC/black employed class in NYC is the idea of gun violence in the Black community as something of youth. The narrative is, the youth must get the violence out of them. But, Frank James is sixty something years old. Frank James was an elder teen in the 1970s. So Frank James…

Newsflash: This ‘Act’ is not about justice. It’s another tool by the politicians in Washington to get the collective “Black” community on the Democratic train. The question everyone in the community must ask themselves is ‘Why is Emmett Till’s name attached to the Anti-lynching Act when he was not lynched?

    Kejanji Brown Jackson, not a Judge 4 ‘Black’ People April 6, 2022 Dear Family, Perhaps you might want to hold your excitement on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson becoming a juris for the White Supremacy Court of the divided states of America. In case you are not aware, chose to ignore, or simply do not care about justice for the Black Collective, a former ‘black’ federal judge in Alabama asked Jim Crow Joe Biden not to nominate Jackson to the bench. As we can see, Biden chose the opposite. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/593978-first-black-federal-judge-in-alabama-ask-biden-not-to-nominate/.

Nothing could be further from the truth. White Nationalist also believe this about their race but there is a difference. White people are drastically declining in their population due to low birth rates. The death rate among white people is higher than the birth rate. This is the reason why in America, Europe, and even in Ukraine there is a rise in white supremist and nationalist groups. They feel that white people are on the verge of extinction. …

  27. I just want to start out by saying that I am not a race denier. I believe, from an anthropological standpoint, that there are only three races. There is the Caucasian race, the Negroid race, and the Mongoloid race. Although originating in the Caucasus Mountains, the Caucasian race consists of white Europeans, Arabs, and East Indian (both dark skinned and light-skinned). The Mongoloid or Asian race includes the Japanese, Koreans, Chinese, Filipinos, Indonesians, and what we would term American Indians. The Negroid or Africoid race involves Sub-Saharan black Africans. However, the Australoid race kind of defies a racial category because they have a sim…

    Biden recently nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson for the supreme court. Initially, I was proud that a black sister was finally nominated. But quickly I went from pride to disappointment when the cameras rolled over to her husband, Patrick G. Jackson, who so happens to be white. It did not help matters that Jackson stood on one side of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris (also married to a white guy) was on the other. I know many are not in favor of being told who to love but this matter goes deeper than that. For some odd, unknown reason powerful black women are migrating to white men seemingly without regard for the message this send to a black brother. Secondly, there is the uns…
