  1. Julianna Margulies had nerve to say one thing on a podcast and turn around issuing that boilerplate apology they all give when it comes out wrong. Funny how these groups of people are dead silent as Black folks deal with 50 shades of racism on a regular basis. But, as soon as these other groups of people are going through some sh8t, they want Black folks to ride with them as if phoning a friend. Interestingly, these same groups of people don't call out Hispanics or Asians or Indians or anybody else to stand with them. It's always "if Black folks were going through...." this or that would have been said or done. Nope. As Dr. John Henrik Clarke stated "we have no friends". These wars are not our fights. We're better off remaining neutral in these situations.😎
  2. You've likely heard the phrase, 'Now that's the real McCoy'. Did you know that the phrase was birthed from an invention by Elijah McCoy who developed a lubricating cup that automatically and evenly distributed oil over the locomotives for steam engine moving parts while in motion? While others put forth similar devices, railroaders often requested 'the Real McCoy'. Patented in 1872, Elijah's invention was used on almost all railroads in North America by 1900. Of course, Elijah held over 57 other patents (including the lawn sprinkler), but sold the rights to some of his patents to raise money to open the Elijah McCoy manufacturing company So, when ever you want an ACTUAL item v an imitation, be sure to ask for 'the Real McCoy' - an attribution to a master engineer.
  3. ProfD Like Tariq Nasheed said.....these folks are BURNING UP MAD that Black folks are staying out of it. They keep pulling, pushing, poking, prying, just TRYING to get Black folks in the mix. And are angry that so many of us are ON CODE and remaining silent on it. They can't STAND IT. You got Michael Rappaport and 'em all over the internet cussing and walking up and down the street making videos talking about he's keeping a close eye on those who speak out AND those who "remain silent" on the violence.....lol. He even said he was "making a list and checking it twice" to determine who stood with them, against the, and on the sidelines!!!....lol. Man, these folks are something else. That's how you KNOW you're on to something.....when you start seeing them get this angry and frustrated over your refusal to speak or take a side. But back to manly-looking Julianna....... That clown kept trying to tie Black folks in with "queer" folks....as if we are in the same category. She said Black folks are "even lower" than the Jews so we should have more of a motivation to stand with them and fight. I say.....let's keep doing what we're doing and STAY OUT OF IT.
  4. Funny I know the author of the article. it would be interesting to know who she thinks has brainwashed Black people.
