Black Silence = The Currency We Pay for Economic Success in America

Black Silence = The Currency We Pay for Economic Success in America

Black Silence is a Currency

Many Afro-American writers bloggers and speakers like to point out a flaw within American Racial Integration.  The flaw they point out tends to lean on business and economic ventures, such as black businesses.  The fatal error of integration I observe however, does not point to capitalism, but more so towards social contracts, social interactions, and all types of the…

White America: Cops are not your Afrophobia Customer Service. 

Racism is a Tool

Most white people think of white supremacy in terms of being a person, or a group of people.  This is why white people tend to get butthurt when you call out their racist actions, behaviors, beliefs, and decisions.  It’s more accurate however, to define white supremacy is a tool.  White supremacy isn’t a single person, it’s a tool.  It’s a tool that is invented by numerous white…

Latin Gangs -- A White American Export

Latin Gangs — A White American Export

The Exportation of American Violence to Latin America

My great-grandmother, as a young woman.

Growing up I had two older brothers, but I didn’t meet them until I was 4 years old when I traveled to my mother’s native country, Honduras, for the first time.  It wasn’t the easiest thing she ever did but she left her home and with it, my two older brothers under my great grandmother’s care.  I…

There's Something Pathological About Pretending Any Hyper-Destructive Miscreant is Malcolm X in the Making

There’s Something Pathological About Pretending Any Hyper-Destructive Miscreant is Malcolm X in the Making

There’s something incredibly bizarre about pretending that any garbage, gleefully rape-happy, black progress regressing person “could have been the next Malcolm X”, and then attempting to judgement-shame folks into next winter. For those who don’t know, there was a highly afro-misogynistic, sociopathic, rape-happy fellow named Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy who died in a bank robbery in June 2018.  He’s…

How the White American Denounces Historical Persecution (of Black People) While Repeating It is Categorically Perverse.

How the White American Denounces Historical Persecution (of Black People) While Repeating It is Categorically Perverse.

In current events around the time of this article publishing, President Donald J. Trump toyed around with the notion of granting a “pardon” for Muhammad Ali.

Muhammad Ali is deceased.  Even further, he doesn’t need a pardon, posthumously or not.

Our Black Civil Rights Heroes who have passed don’t need pardon; our modern day Civil Rights Heroes do. 

It is a thing that white people do in America;…

This will be Uncomfortable

This will be Uncomfortable

I’m gonna say this. I’ve held it for a while.

There’s a remnant of Black people, women specifically, who are aligned to every new hashtag – “timesup”, “notthistime”; “metoo”, which was co-opted by white women from its Black creator Tarana Burke – and any other cause that upholds Black erasure.

These same Black women say with applause in tweets and Instagram posts – “Oh, look! These children…

Why are Combat-Oriented Female Heroes STILL Wearing Their Hair Down?

Why are Combat-Oriented Female Heroes STILL Wearing Their Hair Down?

Why do these combat women got their hair down?

I don’t know what it is, really.

Maybe it’s because I’m an Army veteran who knows combat.  Maybe it’s because I love fighters and gladiatorial sports like boxing, and MMA.  Maybe it’s because I’m a neckguy.  I don’t know what it is…maybe it’s a combination of many things.  One thing I do know, is that seeing combative, melee, hands-on action chicks…

Six Freedoms Black People Do Not Have Under a White Supremacy

Six Freedoms Black People Do Not Have Under a White Supremacy

The Six Freedoms Kept From Black Folk’s Grasp

Being black in America is one hell of an experience that white people, definitely would not trade.  Being black in America means to be automatically feared as “America’s Boogeyman”.  Being black in America means that you will have to give your children, very unique “talks” (that one other race has to do) to keep them from getting lynched.  Being black…

Barbara Bush Died. She was 92 Years Old.

Barbara Bush died.  She lived to be 92 years old. But Tamir Rice was MURDERED by cops.  He was 12 years old when he was murdered by the white privilege to culturally sanction the irrational fear of a black CHILD versus that child precious life. White people didn’t care about Tamir Rice. White people, STOP demanding black people care about white celebrities and political figures who lived complete…

Donald Trump will NEVER get Impeached. Let Me Tell You Why.

Donald Trump will NEVER get Impeached. Let Me Tell You Why.

Donald Trump will never get impeached I’m going to say this, straight up — Trump will never be impeached. Being 36 years old by the time of this publishing, I lived to witness a multitude of presidents.  Sure, Reagan was in power when I was a kid, as well as the first George Bush, but I’m savvy enough to know the effects of these presidents being that it’s easy to study them, and most policies of…

Malcolm Little Might Have Said Worse -- Does He Deserved to be Shot By Cops too?

Malcolm Little Might Have Said Worse — Does He Deserved to be Shot By Cops too?

It’s been a couple of weeks by the time of this publishing, the fact that random black guy 5,657,237 — A fellow known as Stephon Clark — was murdered by bitch-ass cops in Sacramento California. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is what self-hate looks like.  What made him hate his Blackness?  And Yours?  There’s a lot of black folks who are so enraged at the fact that Stephon Clark was a black man who…

You Need to Remove "Black on Black Crime" from American Lexicon

You Need to Remove “Black on Black Crime” from American Lexicon

Roots, Questions and it’s Sociological Effects The term black on black crime seems to have began in the 1980’s.  In the 1970’s there was this Nixon-era effort to shift the American residual image of the poor from the rural white to the urban black.  With this, it was easy to focus negative attention to the targeted group of people; unlike the Italian and Irish of the WWI era, black people were…

Trump Gives Insight on Totalitarian Despotic Types in Foreign Lands

Trump Gives Insight on Totalitarian Despotic Types in Foreign Lands

Unfettered Love Here’s a look at a young man, presumably in a U.S. military college, smiling in his support of Donald Trump. There was a time when I always thought that when it comes to totalitarian, tyrannical despotic types, that their people — the public of their nation — was a mass population gripped in fear and worry, who needs to be rescued by good ol’ Americans either by diplomacy or…

Pro-Choice Doesn't Mean "Pro-Death"

Pro-Choice Doesn’t Mean “Pro-Death”

Let’s start off first with the fact that there’s a sliding scale of what’s what here. This has become an ideology, and with that comes a sliding scale. On one side you have the “Pro-Choice” crowd who mostly believe that it’s the woman’s choice in the matter. The other side you have the “Pro-Life” crowd, who generally believe that one must have the child. While I’m speaking I’m going to take a…

Question: Can We Get Wakanda to Fix a Black Hero for Once?

Question: Can We Get Wakanda to Fix a Black Hero for Once?

Is Now a Good Time to Ask? There’s a question that has been bugging me ever since I first viewed Black Panther.  I mean, I get it.  I totally get it.  Not only did I get it, I got it. As a movie buff vicious abolitionist (who would be a non-stop movie review guy if racism wasn’t a thing), I love the Black Panther movie.  I had a great time witnessing yet another Ryan Coogler movie.  I’ve been…
