Culture, Race & Economy

It’s Older Black Democrats and Older White Republicans which are stopping more Blacks from joining the Republican Party. Still young Black men and women are waking up to the reality that the GOP holds the key to access to the American Dreams. The Biden administration is demonstrating how Big Government policies are making life harder for all Americans. It’s estimated that 25% of Black voters will be returning to the Republican Party.

"For those African Americans who have less than a college education, the loss of manufacturing jobs seriously undermines their opportunities for employment.

Why is black America always complaining about how it feels it’s being treated by other groups, when what it really needs to do first, is get its own house in order? Let’s take a step back and a brief look at black America’s self-inflicted damage. From the top, black Americans: -- Chronically blame their problems on others. -- Don’t practice good study habits, score low on basics tests, and discount the value of getting a good education. -- Are physically unfit, eat poorly, and smoke and consume alcohol heavily, which contributes to a disproportionate suffering from obesity, high blood pressure, emphysema, and kidney, heart and liver disea…

This is a recent news story about two women that were murdered. These stories made me reflect on a few recent comments in this community about prisoners being released and having the freedom to go into Black communities. I recall @Pioneer1's viewpoints on this subject. I also recently read a few days ago that the past president Trump's program has led to a recent release of thousands of prisoners. This story that I have just read is about a young lady that was working in a furniture store, and she was murdered. A suspect has been arrested and he is a Black man who was said to have had a long criminal record across many states. Then another young lady was recently murdered…

The Democrats are about to get their backsides waxed in this year's midterm elections. Several mistakes are to blame and most are unforced errors. 1) Too many Black people remain ignorant of what Critical Race Theory actually is. It's not Black History, although many well-meaning Black folks claim that it is. And sadly, they cling to this errant view on social media. But Critical Race Theory is NOT Black History, which is a collection of truths and facts. Theories are simply suppositions. I will maintain that CRT is taught only at the university level not in grade, intermediate or any high schools. The problem lies in that few have come up with a ONE S…

I was reading a few experiences where Black parents who claim to be pro black express shock and anger that their child decides to marry a white person. They all say the same thing "how could this be? I thought them about black history and took them to multiple museums and surrounded them with exceptional black people". Teaching you Black child about black history will not make them stay away from white people. Teaching your black child about racism will. Teaching black history to black children and teaching black children about racism will yield 2 different outcomes. If your black child looks at every white person as a racist suspect then you have successfull…

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…

In the land of the free and the home of the brave... This is the only country where the "majority"(White People) can own, have, and control and still not be satisfied. Anytime someone black does anything amazing; "someone that does not look like us"(white people) studies what we did, replicate it, and the monetize it and then becomes a millionaire or billionaire off of our "one thing". Thus, the power of one... Now, when that one thing doesn't go their way "they" (white people)become really petty and petulant acting as if the world is about to end.

IMO, the dearth of intellectually heavy television and theatrical productions that (can and / or would) showcase and highlight the true and potentially enormous cerebral capacity and economic and social depth of the black community at large, only serves to perpetuate the adverse black-focused stereotype(s) of crime, sexualization, drugs, guns and worse, that are constantly promoted by the mainstream media, big tech, and other select(ed) segments of corporate America.

I don't have an answer to this question. But the frustration that I feel is immense. I've looked to civilian review boards, elected officials, community activists etc. I was referred to a podcast. The lead host is a former police officer. I don't know if the dialogue on their site is helpful but it gave me some insight.

I just discovered the Smithsonian Anthology of Hip-Hop in my local library yesterday. I was previously unaware of it -- it is almost as if the publishers did not want to make it well known. The book does not have an ISBN (as far as I can tell) and I can not find it in distribution. Of course Amazon and B&N have copies -- don't ask me how they got them. I broke my own rule and linked to Amazon to by the book 😞 The book comes with 9 CD (do people still use CDs?) that includes 129 rap songs. I created a playlist (below) of all the songs on YouTube. I was very familiar with most of them, but 2 or 3 I never heard before. They were rappers from Memphis a…
