    Erectus Walks Amongst Us is a book that supports the idea that niggers are in fact Homo Erectus rather than Homo Sapiens. Studies have shown that nigger DNA are the closest to chimps and also the furthers genetically from all the other races. The facts in the book has so far not been refuted.I want you guys to let this sink in for a second. Niggers are LITERLLAY NOT HUMAN. They aren't even the same species as Homo Sapiens. In fact bonobos are genetically closer to humans than niggers are.

    Mr. Brossard, Really Dude? Dear Mr. Brossard: After reading your puff piece in USA Today, I decided that a response was in order. First, it seemed apparent to me that you wrote this article for the people paying your salary at Global Strategy Group. One thing for sure, attempting to guilt black men into voting won’t move the needle. It’s amazing to me how you and so many others like you think that you can lecture grown black men. Black men are men, not children, they do not need the likes of you or anyone else telling them about voting. Since it seems if though you have forgotten about 2016, let me give you a refresher. Black men did not vote in 2016 for…

  5. Spoiled entitled brat Brittney Griner show boats by kneeling for our flag. Im sure she is regretting it big time now. I guess she is loving all the freedoms our beautiful flag represents after seeing what real injustice is all about opposed to fake injustice. This is what happens when a bunch of spoiled thugs protest issues they have absolutely no clue about. Maybe the brat thug gets released soon and she could be more respectful. In an ironic twist, Brittney who was trying to play the victim role is now an actual victim. Be careful for what you wish for.

Neither Democrats nor the GOP has a candidate capable of holding a candle up to Dr. West intellectually. Unfortunately, politics is about raising money and BSing people.

The former POTUS was grazed on the ear, an attendee was was killed, 2 other folks were injured and the shooter was taken out by snipers. Over the next few days, weeks and months, we'll see how the temperature changes in terms of political rhetoric leading up to the election. As I've often mentioned, the political parties are two-sides of the same coin when the rubber meets the road.😎

    Recently British/Nigerian actress Cynthia Erivo has been featured on the cover of several magazines. Among them are GQ...a MEN'S magazine where she was featured among the "men of the year". Another is Harper's Bazaar where she's featured in photos with her muscles and tattoos on prominent display. For those of you who think this is some innocent or harmless work of art. Remember that Neely Fuller Jr. has been warning us for DECADES of the plans by the Racists to not just feminize Black men but also MASCULINIZE Black women!

She inspires worship and praise and is loved by legions, - earth mother personified in designer clothes, permed hair and fake eye-lashes, generous and charitable and confident.

    Hmmm................ Is it ME, or is this picture of the otherwise attractive Viola Davis on the cover of Time magazine a bit unflattering and even slightly "unnerving"? There are 2 directions we can go with this: 1. The most obvious is that her lips are curled back and it looks like she's showing her fangs. It looks a bit monsterous. No person....male or female...naturally shows that much of their teeth and gums in an attempt to smile. Whoever it was back at Time did that shit on purpose to make her look scary or clownish. 2. The less obvious but still pretty good point that I don't hear enough Black women discussing is the fact that dark …

The terms are even used in an article describing how 7 million American are about to have their cars repossessed. Strong economy for who, the rich corporations and the people who run and own them?

Even those who do work the wages are are low and benefits are nonexistent. In states like Florida almost half the population makes less than $20 an hour.

My favorite period of black history between the end of slavery and the civil rights era of the '50s and '60s was the Harlem Renaissance. Also, I look at recorded specials on legendary celebrities such as Louis Armstrong, Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne, and Tyra Banks as well as different musical genres pioneered by blacks such as jaz…

He will reassure her when she feels insecure and comfort her after a bad day. He will inspire her to do things she never thought she could do; to live without fear and forget regret. He will enable her to express her deepest emotions and give in to her most intimate desires. He will make sure she always feels as though she's the most beautiful woman in the room and will enable her to be the most confident, sexy, seductive and invincible. No wait... Sorry..
