Stop blaming black women for Clinton's failed election

Stop blaming black women for Clinton's failed election #AtticaLocke #DonaldTrump #NPR

On Point! Stop blaming black woman for this election.  White racists over performed. This interview with Empire writer Attica Locke: David Greene: Do you think African Americans failed to turn out for Hillary Clinton? Attica Locke: God, no, and I will daily stop that narrative. More white women showed up for Hillary – I’m sorry, Donald Trump, than for Hillary. I wouldn’t say that in any way black…

Trump's conflicts are huge #Trump, #GOP, #Politics Those entanglements are unprecedented, unavoidable and “troubling,” said Ken Gross, a former elections enforcement official and lawyer who has advised presidential candidates from both parties, after the election.

6 Cleveland Police Officers Are Fired Over Deadly 2012 Chase And Shooting : The Two-Way : NPR

6 Cleveland Police Officers Are Fired Over Deadly 2012 Chase And Shooting : The Two-Way : NPR

Four years after the murder of 2 unarmed black people where police shot 137 rounds into their car, one officer goes to trial and is acquitted and 6 police officers are fired. To add insult to injury, the president of the Cleveland police union has the audacity to insinuate that the firing of the six officers is politics 101 and somehow police officers around the country are being penalized. Then…

They scared? Yeah they are #GlennReynolds #Mizzou  My expression after reading Glenn Reynold's article in USA Today These are the types of articles you get when young children of color start standing up for what's right. Ignorant people are running scared because young black people are speaking up and showing out.

They mad....

Wait, you're mad because of what?? #charlestonmassacre #confederateflag

As U.S. Companies are announcing they will discontinue to manufacture and/or the confederate flag, citizens are sounding off at their disappointment. We’ve all heard the excuse that the confederate flag represents southern pride and heritage (pride for who? People who fought to preserve slavery..), but today I heard a new excuse; discontinuing making or selling the confederate flag will hurt…

Still in the forgiving Mood? Read Dylann Roof's Manifesto

I have read Roof’s manifesto but I will not post the link on my blog site. I’m sure you guys have access to it just like I do. The bottom line is that Roof was a racist. Not only was it confirmed that he was a racist from the obvious (the massacre of nine African-Americans and what he said to those African-Americans as he shot off rounds), but his manifesto revealed that he received some of his…

Confederate Battle Flag Removal Bill being proposed Tonight Rep. Norman Brannon announced he is going to propose a bill that would ban the Confederate Battle flag from the State Capitol.  You will get no arguments from me, it is just a sad day when it takes the murder of 9 African Americans to introduce this bill

The narrative in Charleston

This week as I watched the numerous news coverage of the Charleston massacre, I began to see a narrative that did not settle right with me. People started to characterize Roof as a psychotic person but not a terrorist. As more information came out it was revealed that many friends and acquaintances of Roof knew that he was racist and actually heard him make threats against black people, yet no…

Terrorist attack in Charleston

Terrorist attack in Charleston #CharlesltonMassacre

The massacre that took place this week in Charleston, South Carolina was nothing short of a terrorist attack. Dylann Roof was fed up with black people raping white women and trying to take over America (The same lie that southern whites used in justifying the creation of the Klu Klux Klan)  so he concocted a plan to shoot up one of the oldest African-American churches in the country. According to…

Look but don't touch #AvaDuVenay Ava DuVernay had to handle her business after a stranger walked up to her and touched her hair.  What is the obsession of people being so fascinated with black hair that they would invade someone's personal space and privacy?

Befriending a Klan Member... I heard this story on NPR's Snap Judgement.  Daryl Davis is a musician who just so happened to forge a friendship with a Klu Klux Klan member.

Why is Rachel Dolezal an issue?

Why is Rachel Dolezal an issue? #RachelDolzel

For the past few days I have read many arguments for and against Rachel Dolezal. Those in support of her, have written that they don’t have a problem with her identifying as a black woman because she is an activist and supports black people. Some even go as far as saying that at least she is doing something while other black people are not. One black woman I was debating said that she did not…
