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.

Caleb Wilson, 20, of Kenner, La., was a junior at Southern University majoring in mechanical engineering and a proud member of the Human Jukebox, the school’s marching band. He's now dead, allegedly a result of fraternity hazing. Let's talk about that Greek life...

White People Have Officially Won

DEI and Target fasts: that's where we are in 2025. It all signals that white people have officially won, and Black folks have completely waved the white flag on the idea of self determination.

You Can't Win A War With Nonviolence

Nonviolent passive resistance characterized much of the movement but such a tactic-- or way of life --has serious limitations and present consequences. The Civil Rights Movement ultimately failed to reach its full potential due to the blind commitment many held for it.

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.

Perhaps civil rights leaders should have taken the hint and opted for another strategy.

How The Civil Rights Movement Went Left: Episode 12

Operation Breadbasket was a program that showed great promise for Black economics. Jesse Jackson did amazing things through the program in Chicago, which Dr. King wanted replicated nationally, but it never happened.
