Sucker punched – Death of the middle class. http://DTPollard.com

This interesting, on-point article appeared on May 30th in THE CHICAGO SUN-TIMES. It was written by one of its black coumnist who is an astute observer if the political scene. Racial panderers wallop Obama by LAURA WASHINGTON Is it the pot calling the kettle black? Or not black enough? Those are the questions swirling in the recent dust-up among some of America’s most prominent black intellectuals and talking heads. African-American names in the news have been exchanging harsh words over the state of black America in the Obama era. President Barack Obama is the piñata at the center of the controversy, but it’s not really about him. It’s abo…

I can't believe these big city mayors currently making news! Not just content to limit how large a soft drink fast food customers can order in public places, NY mayor, Michael Bloomberg, is advocating that hospitals charge new mothers for the infant formula required should they choose not to breast feed. Puleeze. All of these LaLeche busybodies can't protest enough about bans placed on mothers nursing in public, claiming these mama cats have a right to do so. If this makes onlookers uncomfortable then, tut-tut - or tit-tit in this case. But if a woman decides she doesn't want to fulfill the second step of the ritual/fad that follows showing off her baby bump fo…

TEXAS THREATENS TO ARREST ANY FEDS WHO TRY ENFORCING NEW GUN REGS Texas Proposal: JAIL Any Federal Officials Trying to Enforce New Gun Restrictions in the State (1200 WOAI) A Texas lawmaker says he plans to file the Firearms Protection Act, which would make any federal laws that may be passed by Congress or imposed by Presidential order which would ban or restrict ownership of semi-automatic firearms or limit the size of gun magazines illegal in the state, 1200 WOAI news reports. Republican Rep. Steve Toth sayshis measure also calls for felony criminal charges to be filed against any federal official who tries to enforce the rule in the state. "If a…

I saw this on social media this morning and thought it was a joke. This was reported by the Washington Post yesterday. As schools around the U.S. implement national Common Core learning standards, parents trying to help their kids with math homework say that adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing has become as complicated as calculus. They're stumped by unfamiliar terms like "rectangular array'' and "area model.'' They wrestle with division that requires the use of squares, slashes and dots. They rage over impenetrable word problems. Watch video on how to solve the problem: I see how the problems are solved; 45 - 17…

I never heard of Rachel Dolezal before this morning. Esther's message was at the top of my Facebook wall when I went in to check my messages a few moments ago, so this was difficult to ignore. As a practice, I try to ignore the stuff on my wall; (1) much of it is stuff like this, and (2) I'm on a mission to support indie sites with my online activity. But this message interested me because Esther mentioned "Black Twitter." Black Twitter is a phenomenon I don't quite understand... at any rate, my daughter a recent marketing grad, told me I should take advantage of Black Twitter for my website. I asked her to tell me what to do it for me because, from my observations, …

Hey all I am a new to the site but have been reading the content for some time. I have read studies that indicate that our people fall behind the other major ethnic groups when it comes to understanding money. Financial Literacy, or lack thereof, leads to so many other issues. We need to teach each other and grow as a people. Here is a quick 2 minute quiz to test your general knowledge when it comes to money. http://thecleverafrican.com/2017/04/13/financial-literacy-quiz/

Interesting where the deadliest diseases originated in the past 30 years. Many people in our black community like to pull things from the sky and make up fake phrases such as white man disease when the Truth is that almost all of the diseases come from Africa, China, and South/ Central America. The American’s find the cures. Covid- originated in China bird flu- china ebola - africa HIV ( AIDS ) - africa Zika virus - africa swine flu - mexico

There's a difference between FRIENDS and ALLIES. AfroAmericans would be wise if we learned those differences so that when it comes to building relationships with those outside of our community -we'll focus more on seeking ALLIANCES than seeking FRIENDSHIPS.

War in the Middle East Nuclear War with Russia Contact with Extraterrestrials. Solar Eclipses Major Earthquakes and Hurricanes There use to be a time when a spectacular solar event or global event like an eclipse or stellular alignment or major Earthquake or something on a cosmic level would get me all hyped up ready for something big and great to come and change humanity! Back in the day when I was a Bible thumping Church goer, the events going on in Israel right now would REALLY have my hyped up! I probably would have QUIT my job and waited on the sky to break apart and Angels to start flying down snatching up people or destroying the wicked. …

Whaddup Fam......... I know it's been a minute. Martin Lawrence used to say: How yall feel ! So much has been going on, now you got this situation with Trump that I might stop by here and get into this weekend, I'm sure yall have covered it like gravy already. But on a similar topic, the Republican National Convention is going on this week and there's been a lot of talk of "family values", which is one of the main political tenets that Republicans CLAIM to support. We know it's a damn lie, but so many people around the nation...including people of color...believe it. At my job as well as elsewhere around the city, I've met so many Africans and…

America's wealth was built on the backs and stomachs of Black Women

US Attorney General Pam Bondi says hate speech will be prosecuted. Nevermind having to hurdle the 1st amendment. This comes in the wake of any comments being made about the unalived white nationalist that are unfavorable to the current administration and the MAGA movement. Of course, AG Bondi had to walk back her statement when as s trained lawyer, she realized the US Constitution supersedes her authority. Americans may have to decide how much fascism they want in their lives.😎

One of our rather more outspoken....lol...contributors, said in another discussion: "The only people masculinizing black women are triflin' black men who have forced them to play the "father" role for the children they make and desert." While that may SEEM to be a valid point on it's surface, I can't help but notice something when I meet women from other cultures............. I've seen women from the Middle East and Afghanistan who grew up seeing all of the men of their village slaughtered, sometimes in front of them. Very traumatic. Yet these women still have kept their femininity. There are MILLIONS of women in the M…

Every Negro should keep up on basketball. It is one of the few things you got going. Anyway, he did NOT stab Cleveland in the back. Just the same, I hope he was moved out of his house, his bags was packed and he had a plane ticket in his pocket when he made that decision. Tyger Woods is the Obama of Golf. Will LeBron be the Obama of Basketball?

I guess I find it funny because it just epitomizes the absurdity of "high" fashion. But on a more practical matter these super high heeled shoes are simply bad for you. How many women have I seen, often overweight who have to pack a pair a flat shoes to wear home after attending an event in 5 inch heals... I'm glad men have no pressure to wear shoes that are just bad for your feet. The days of hammer toes from wearing pointy shoes are long gone. We don't have to worry about processing our hair, painting our faces, or showing up to an event wearing the same suit.

I am finding opposition from people. They believe their way is correct and mine is not. Yet I get better results oh well its good preparation

Being Black, poor, and marginalized satisfy any three-strikes (you're out) rule, for success; a criminal background to boot cements a life of ever illusive opportunity. To try, is to do. To not try, is not to do! So, what are some choices felonious Black men/women who served sentences for criminal offences? Brothers and sisters just don't want to sacrifice what's needed to obtain a formal college education; which could grant near vindication of criminal backgrounds. But some sacrifice, like or not, is required to say you, at least, tried. Even if you ultimately fail. Changing lifestyles, habits, or environments are keys towards making a personal dif…

I am the author of the recently released memoir entitled, What Is Real? The Life and Crimes of Darnell Riley. In What Is Real, I detail my experience from day one of incarceration in the California Prison system. The reader is provided a view of a fully functioning, hyper-violent society whose rules at times defy logic. What Is Real provides an in depth look at incarceration and the toll that it takes on loved ones that make the conscious decision to remain and the psychological torture that one endures the moment that one assumes the character of an inmate. I look forward to a review of my work by the community and I encourage questions. Author; Riley Perez …

Byron Donalds (Florida). Former POTUS made a comment suggesting that because of his four criminal indictments empathic Black voters are more likely to support him. Neither former POTUS Orange Julius nor bootlick Rep. Donalds realizes most Black voters aren't felons or ex-convicts. It's rumored that Rep. Donalds could be a potential VP running mate.

Well, this is the year that all the ancient prognosticators have calculated to culminate in Doomsday, - come December 21st. If the Republicans win the election, I'd say this prediction sounds pretty accurate. The age of America being a nation of citizens who look out for each other will be over. The false prophets wrapping themselves in religion, waving the American flag, disguising their greed as fiscal responsibility, couching their bigotry in a cry for a return to the "good ol days" while turning the struggle to survive into a class war, will be who represent the Apocalypse. Or - will the Age of Aquarius prevail as the stars prove the dire interpretations …

Resolution for additional sanctions against Iran. Is this the road to greater security or is this the road to more war(s)? --------------------------------------- Congress approves new Iran sanctions on oil, shipping sectors Aug. 1, 2012 (Reuters) - The Congress overwhelmingly passed a new package of sanctions against Iran on Wednesday that aims to punish banks, insurance companies and shippers that help Tehran sell its oil. The legislation, agreed to by senior lawmakers of both parties, "seeks to tighten the chokehold on the regime beyond anything that has been done before," said Republican Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, chair of the House Fore…

Study: Whites Think Black People Feel Less Pain NPR, JULY 11, 2013 Racial disparities exist, but what causes them can be complicated. Harvard anthropology student Jason Silverstein says it has to do with a lack of empathy. Host Michel Michel Martin talks with Silverstein about a Slate article he wrote titled, 'I Don't Feel Your Pain.' Skin color affects ability to empathize with pain Health.com, May 27, 2010 "Pain empathy is basically feeling someone else's pain," says Carmen Green, M.D.,"This paper tells us that race plays a role in pain empathy."

Conveniently Black A few days ago Jim Crow Joe Biden gave the descendants of the former American slaves the proverbial middle finger by picking a US born South Asian-Jamaican to be his vice presidential running mate. A South Asian from the country of India whose immigrant parents had nothing in common with our Ancestors’ experience from the Institution of American Slavery and the Jim Crow era. These facts should not be lost those of us care about the lineage and legacy of the Ancestors who bled, died and are buried on this soil. Joe Biden like Donald Trump and many of the ‘Pocahontas’ mindset minions either think we are too stupid or politically uneducated to know …

Slave Catchers, Slave Resisters is a two-hour History Channel documentary that depicts the system of slave policing—enforced by militia, armed community slave patrols, paid slave catchers, and federal law. The stories are set in both the South and the North, from the mid-1700’s colonial era through the end of the Civil War and its aftermath, and told through archival material, scholar interviews and recreations. While the stories show the brutality of the slave system, they also reveal another, often-overlooked side of the history—the strength and ingenuity of the enslaved. As historian Peter Wood observes, “Would they [the enslaved] go willingly i…

It's beyond time to do away with no knock warrants: https://www.npr.org/2022/02/04/1078313707/amir-locke-killed-minneapolis-police-no-knock-warrant Another black person who was not the intended target of the search warrant is killed by police. There's enough technology available to law enforcement that makes it easier to catch suspects without breaking and entering residences. I'm a proponent of old fashioned police work.

A new WSJ poll finds that 79% of people in the United States support Joe Biden's ban on imports of Russian oil. And they feel this way, according to the poll, even if gas prices rise. This ought to kick the Biden haters square in their pants. President Biden on Tuesday halted the purchase of Russian crude oil, certain petroleum products, liquefied natural gas and coal, according to the March 8 edition of the Wall Street Edition. The WSJ certainly carries more weight with the world and the U.S. corporate and business communities than the hysterical ramblings of Trump supporters. The new Journal poll showed broad support for the energy ban…
