There Is No War Against Black History

They say Trump is waging a war against Black history but I would beg to differ. 

Jay Z and the Black Middle Class

For some reason, middle to upper class Black folks believe they're special. 

Target, Jesse Jackson, and Black Orgs Today

Jesse Jackson's passing provides an opportunity to look at the past and evaluate the present. Hopefully we have a better future. The Target Boycott is central to the discussion. 

Amazing Grace, Slavery, and ICE

John Newton is famous for writing the hymn, "Amazing Grace." That grace, however, didn't extend to my people. That them-- a Christianity laced with racism --still shapes our world in every way. 

Do We Like Black Capitalism Or Not?

Black people will never have control without a focused effort in the realm of economics. However, attempts along those lines are always met with critiques of "Black Capitalism."

Trump, Venezuela, and Negroes

The US recently stepped foot on Venezuelan soil and took the country's president. This is about power and Negroes better take note. 

Europe is NOT a Continent

No, really, Europe isn't a continent. Rejecting that flawed belief is a small step in challenging white dominance. But be careful: folks get really sensitive about that. 

30,000 Black Doctors Are Missing

30,000 Black doctors are missing today. The culprit? A 1910 report by Abraham Flexner, backed by the American Medical Association and the Carnegie Foundation. Black medical schools were targeted and closed, with consequences that still linger today. 

Stop Asking Me To Boycott

Boycotts have devolved into "The voice of the lazy." It makes us feel good, maybe, but most of these have no clear targets, goals, or hope of delivering a future in which Black people have control of our lives. 

Stop Arguing With White People

MAGA showed up to Tennessee State University, an HBCU. So...why argue? Don't.
