  1. I don't believe ANY of this. It's nothing more than racial politics as usual. Conservative White politicians around the state of Michigan have been targetting Detroit and trying to destroy the Black political and economic structure of that city for decades. They tried it with Coleman Young, they did it with Kwame Kilpatrick, they targeted various Black Police Chiefs, School Superintendants, and other prominent Blackfigures. If they were serious about going after criminals, there are plenty of crooked White principles and politicians all over the state they could be going after....but they like focusing on Black Detroit. There's a Governor sitting up in Lansing right now who is directly responsible for the poisoning of over 100,000 citizens of a city.....why don't they go after HIM and charge HIM instead of targetting professional Black women in positions of authority? BTW....the teachers AND the principles deserve FAR more money than they're getting paid ANY damn way, so what if they decide to treat themselves to a perk or two? They DESERVE more than they're accused of stealing!

  3. Yes, thanks to the Republicans, lies are the new truth. It's a very simple formula that works because people believe whatever keeps them in their comfort zone.

  4. Charter schools are a money grab, at the expense of children, usually the ones with darker complexions. It is beyond pathetic. People with money simply send their kids to private schools.

  5. I dunno Chris they could be sharing it as an April Fools joke. I don't think there have been any comments though. The giveaway should have been this is the first time I posted on Facebook, in a couple of years, where I did not have a link back to a website. I wonder what would happen if people just started sharing false rumors on social media... nevermind that pretty much is what is happening now.

  6. The worst part is people are going to share this as fact. These folks may have created jobs, but they have not created a VC... although if they did I wonder how the small businesses would be chosen for investment. I finally have my first telephone meeting with an investor set for next week. It's taken 6 years and I had to create the opportunity myself by doing cold calls to VC firms. While another sneaker company that hasn't ever sold anything and is basically selling a knock off Roshe rasied 2.7 million last month! Based on their use of wool as a fabric for uppers... crazy. Anyway, I'm sure someone has already shared this and I probably shouldn't have said anything on FB, smh.

  7. Get rid of the language. There is no such thing as "white" people. The definition is subjective and not based upon science. At least one culture allowed one to buy whiteness. In the U.S. Italians, Jews and Irish people did not start out as white, but now they would be considered white by some but not all. The Supreme Court even upheld a decision, that a man with 1 Black great grandparent and 7 white great grandparents was Black and therefore could be legally thrown out the white section of a train. I agree with Pioneer on #2 you can't treat people equally, but you should strive to be fair. Indeed that, by itself would go a long way to eliminating racism. But people are tribal, so racism is a very hard thing to change. But greed trumps tribalism and I always said our country's problems have much more to do with greed than racism. Racism is the tool of the greedy. Today we see increasingly white people become the victims of this greed. They are the ones who lost their homes in the mortgage crisis. They are the ones increasingly addicted to heroin and prescription drugs. They are the ones who can't afford pay for school, and will suffer from student debt only to get a degree that will land them on the unemployment line. They are the ones in jeopardy of not collecting a single penny of the social security they are paying into. For Black folks treatment like this is par for the course. ...and people wonder why whites folks are embracing a Donald Trump. It is not really racism, they are reacting to being victims of greed from people of their own race--other white folks. Of course Donald will not help them any more than Obama helped Black folks... Black, white, red, yellow, unless you have some serious paper in this country, the system is rigged against you and you're simply ass out.

  8. How do we remove the concept from society and begin to treat all people equally? These are actually 2 separate questions so let me offer 2 responses from my perspective...... 1. How do we remove the concept of White Supremacy from society? The answer is pretty simple, BLACK ACHIEVEMENT destroys White Supremacy. Black people (or any group of color) who achieve consistant success in academics, economics, morality, physical fitness, ect...counters the concept of White supremacy. Infact, Asians are doing a pretty good job of this currently. 2. How do we begin to treat all people equally? You're not. Don't even waste your time trying. You CAN'T treat all people equally because everyone doesn't deserve to be treated equally. I think a more realistic goal would be to try and treat others more FAIRLY. BTW Jazzy, if yall still on speaking terms....lol....tell Will and Jada I said 'sup.
