FBI report: No evidence George Zimmerman is racist An FBI investigation into the shooting of black teenager Travyon Martin concluded that there's no evidence the suspect, George Zimmerman, was motived by racial bias or hatred. By Patrik Jonsson, Staff writer / July 12, 2012 FBI report: No evidence George Zimmerman is racist After interviewing 30 people familiar with George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch captain charged with killing African-American teenager Trayvon Martin, FBI agents found no evidence that the shooting was driven by racial bias or animus.

Chicago's in a B&B mode, - all agog about Barak and Black Hawks. The president returned to his Hyde Park digs to spend his Memorial Day week-end in Chicago and the Black Hawks made it to the NHL finals and are now vying for the Stanley Cup. Woooo. Elated White hockey fans and excited Black Obama supporters are all full of pride. Me, I don't give a "puck" about the Black Hawks but I do hope Obama doesn't injure himself while hoopin with his buddies or - choke on a rib bone while scarfing down some barbeque. Obama will also be laying a wreath and giving a speech at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery here in Illinois. That's where my brother, a WWII naval vet, i…

Since when have rich Black folks been allowed to sit up and say WHATEVER the hell they wanted to a national audience with absolutely no consequences period???? If there's no history of it, then why in the HELL would people expect for things to be different for Kanye? 🤔 Now think about this........seriously....let's think this through together...... You run around claiming Jews run the world and control the media. THEN you start bad mouthing them. Now you wonder why your money is being snatched, you're being demonized in the media, contracts being cancell…

While I was at the Mississippi Book Festival, I attended a panel of booksellers. One of the panelists ran a bookstore in what he described as a resort town in Florida, so I looked it up and saw that it was not far out of my way back home. The store, Sundog Books, is located in Seaside, Florida which is in the middle of the Florida panhandle. It is a fine bookstore. The beach in Seaside was the nicest beach I'd ever seen in the continental US -- the entire area was pristine. The water varied in color from deep blue to light green. The sand was cool and fine, almost like power -- simply beautiful. Seaside, FL was also almost exclusively white. I …

Black individuals know what they want for self. Many of us know the phrases. I want to be respected. I want money. I want to be a star. I want to be president. I is very easy for Black individuals in the usa or elsewhere. But if someone ask, What do you want for the Black community 50 years from now? that is when you get idealized or simplified or dysfunctional answers. In this very forum, I read many collective desires. Some examples I think black people need to think like me ,as if their mindset is absent any flaw I think black people need to stop blaming abuse by white people, as if white people never harm anyone black I think black peop…

You can hear about "The War on the Middle Class" on almost any station and out of the mouths of many politicians as well as many protesters. Where is the opposition to "The War on the Poor"? How can one have humanistic intentions and declare opposition to the war on the middle class yet never even think to sincerely oppose the war on the poor?

https://abcnews.go.com/US/tesla-vehicles-vandalized-us-musk-began-white-house/story?id=119910817 I have no idea of who is setting Tesla vehicles and charging stations on fire. However, we do know who owns Tesla and his proximity to POTUS OJ. The unelected dude is ruffling a lot of feathers. Even if the arsonists are politically motivated, it seems like a stretch to consider burning up vehicles a form of domestic terrorism. There are charges that can be brought against the arsonists once apprehended. I do not believe they are domestic terrorists. Feel free to make the case otherwise. 😎

So, it’s Thanksgiving day, and I’m at my grandaughter’s place, settling down to dig into my full plate of turkey and all the trimmings, patiently explaining to an outside guest why a woman my age decided to get 2 tattoos over the past 7 years. When my oldest son off-handedly referred to me as the family matriarch, I almost choked on my sweet potatoes. Matriarch. The word sounded so sedate and sedentary, but as I looked around the gathering at my 3 sons, 2 daughters, 8 grand children and 3 great grandchildren, figures of all ages, sizes, shapes and colors, milling around the rooms, I was suddenly struck by the idea that if it wasn’t for me none of them would be here.

This prominent South African brother makes it CRYSTAL CLEAR how he feels about White people coming to Africa trying to tell them that their values should be and trying to influence them. Note how he makes the point that I've been making for years, how they never go to the Arabs and try to force the LBGT Agena on them! I also likes how he says morality isn't determined by popular consensus! I'm going to have to use that one in an an argument....lol. It doesn't matter how many people "agree with" or "support" something. Either it IS RIGHT or it IS WRONG. Popularity or contemporary feelings about a subject doesn't chang…

Obama Derangement Syndrome---ODS—is a new category of mental illness recently added to the DSM, The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the mental health profession's official catalogue. It is a disease afflicting conservative Republicans primarily. The symptoms of ODS are (1) an absolute conviction that anything said by Barack Obama-- “there are 24 hours in a day”, “the earth is round”, “water is wet”-- must be opposed and damned as the utterances of ‘the most radical president in American history’, (2) the condemnation of Obama for not buying into demonstrably absurdist ways of dealing with problems, such as—not taxing the rich makes everyone e…

Social media knows I have no love for the Huffington Post (mainly because they, unnecessarily exploit writers), so in their incessant mission to share things with me that reinforces the my world view (the thing I want the least), I was presented with this message on every social media platform I visited the other day. I contribute to the echo chamber that is now the WWW, and share it here was well, because after BEA this shot also reminds me of mainstream publishing in general. HuffPost is typical. Most of the events I attended at BEA in Chicago last week were dominated by women.

Neely Fuller Jr. has taught that one of the main tools that White Supremacy has used to dominate much of the world is CONFUSION. Confusion in thought, leads to confusion in both speech and action. He's also advised us that in order to avoid confusion and deal with each other on a clear and consistent basis we should actually MAKE UP our own definition for the words we use and STAND BY that definition in order to be consistent. Making up your own definition for words you didn't invent in which definitions have already been established MAY seem ridiculous on it's surface; however experience and observation may teach us that as long as we are CONSISTENT wi…

The former POTUS doesn't need more ammunition but that doesn't stop him from getting it: https://www.npr.org/2023/12/20/1220725977/a-breakdown-of-the-colorado-supreme-courts-ruling-on-trump In. 4-3 decision, the Colorado Supreme Court has ruled the former POTUS cannot be on the ballot in the state primary race. This is frivolous on a couple levels. If/when this issue goes to the US Supreme Court, may be the one-time they vote 9-0 to strike it down. US politics is becoming a bigger circus with each passing day. It's going to a miracle rounding up these clowns in both sides.😎

Whata trainwreck. Understand he is trying to get enough votes from DEMOCRATS, his own party. He don't need a single Republican vote to pass it, and can't get his own party on board. Actually I think they got the votes, but they are trying to get a cushion so some of those snakes can vote no so they won't have to defend the vote in November. I think, if he don't get the votes. He'll have a stroke. He has already in many ways been areply of Woodrow Wilson. He will have a stroke, and be incapacitated and Michelle will be trying to run the country and we'll have to deal with that. Be careful what you wish for.

...repeated in so many different variations, across the nation, for generations When the Pruitt-Igoe housing project opened back in 1956, its 33 high-rise towers were hailed as a symbol of the future of American urban renewal. Located on a 57-acre tract on St. Louis’ north side, the federally-funded development was created to provide shelter for 12,000 African-American refugees of the city’s crumbling slums.
