No, The Pope Is NOT Black

We have a new Pope. Some are rushing to ask about his blackness, but I think a better question might be where he stands on the church's role on the Transatlantic Slave Trade. 

Black People Are The Real X-Men

X-Men movies all have the same plot: the humans hate mutants and wish to wipe them out, the mutants have the power to crush the humans...but Professor X is determined to get the humans to love and accept the mutants. The Professor is nuts, not Magneto.

Civil Rights Marches Need To Go Away

Civil rights marches are dead. Seriously, don't do that no more. At one point marches were considered bold, cutting edge, and absolutely dangerous. That appeals to young people. They aren't any of those things now, so no, young people don't care. 

Dane Calloway Must Be Stopped

Were Africans here before Columbus? Possibly, but some of the ahistorical, crazy BS just needs to stop. It's a distraction and just plain dangerous.

Bonus: What Elon Musk Can Teach Black Folks About Politics

Yea...I was a bit sloppy and need to clear Dr. King's good name. 

When Older Leaders Won't Step Aside

Dr. King was once a young leader who made the old guard uncomfortable. Over a decade later, it was King who was being challenged by a new generation of leaders.
