What’s crazy is that it had to be discussed. Caribbean and Native African should not be considered. Reparations as commonly discussed in America is about compensating descendants of American slaves and subsequent social and financial denials like Jim Crow.  If you want money for racism, sue. Its bad enough you are…

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick - when he had an opportunity to “die” for his country during Vietnam, he was found to be (wink wink) medically ineligible; just like our President. So much patriotism, courage and sacrifice was left on the sideline with some of these conservative types. John Wayne, Dick Cheney, Trump,…

All I can imagine is Bill Dukes sitting in his chair, legs crossed, staring at him and pointing while saying “You know you done fucked up, right?”...

Black people saved his candidacy! We better get a VP or a policy initiative SPECIFICALLY designed to help Black People (and I’m not talking about some damn crime bill like all of us are criminals). If not, we got f%#&d again and we will have deserved it! And I’m not talking about the “cushy gov’ment” jobs the…

Damn, Mike - that last story made me cry. Our people.

I’m an Army veteran and I’m going to say something. I’m appalled at the empathy these criminals (heroin is illegal) get for their addiction when I lived through the apathy and cold-heartedness of crack cocaine epidemic in my community in the 1980s. What’s even more puzzling is the gall to be a politician and running…

The Bloomberg Bombers:

He never once in his story mentioned the race of the harassers. You did. So wallow in your shit bath Racist.

“there’s a better than even chance that the kids bullying this kid were black.”

Bloomberg must be made to answer for this practice. He just stampeded on the constitutional rights of minority men for years. Now he wants (and needs) something from us, he thinks he can just say “sorry” for a decades long practice. His Aspen speech should end his support from Blacks.

Come on Root - Block that one troll (you know who I am talking about) that is taking away from one’s ability to enjoy the content and have meaningful, nuanced discussion... It isn’t really that hard.....

Sometimes its not attacking or diminishing Black women; sometimes people (like Gayle and Oprah) need to be called out for their shhh.

It seems posthumous pardons are being used as a way for politicians to allegedly “score” points with Blacks by saying “look how I righted this wrong”. However, we could benefit from:

I run 5x a week.. I buy the $5-$10 headphones from Marshalls... They last me about two months.. I’m too old to worry about being cool.

From my military through to my corporate days, I have met many who were just like him yet somehow an NCO, Officer, Executive, etc. No understanding of the world, people, history, culture, lacking interpersonal and managerial skills, even the technical skills, yet continued moving up the ladder because they had the…

Bloomberg will NEVER get my vote. Black people have to punish people for screwing us (no matter when they did it, who they get to run interference for them, and no matter how insincere the apology). Ditto for Biden for school busing and the 1994 Crime Bill. We have the power to stop ambitious people from screwing us…

This is why voting matters - every election and definitely down ticket during presidential years. This investigation would probably never have been considered if a Sista wasn’t the AG. 

There appears to me to be some validity in the criticism of Oprah concerning Black men. The Color purple, Precious, the Butler to name a few are not very flattering or neutral portrayals of Black men. As for Russell Simmons, if you read his comments you can see the credibility of the people she is highlighting appear…

Why are they hiring 500 new officers at a $50 million loss over 4 years? White, non-college educated males (and females) need jobs with benefits. This is a form of affirmative action and welfare on the taxpayer’s dime. In addition, it retains employment in the overall law enforcement field (correctional officers, law…

I knew when Michael wrote the LMF article the Coon RDF (rapid deployment force) would be called into action. Those Negroes that Whites call when they need to suppress or counter a statement, article or action by Blacks with a Colored. Shelby Steele, John McWhorter, Armstrong Williams (among others) are usually…
