Great observation! I made the connection too.. Great timing by Time Inc.

“The juice is loose” for now! He will get into trouble again.. The one thing OJ craves more than anything else is the white embrace - white acceptance. At this stage he is miserable without it - incomplete without it. And in striving to regain it he will stumble - he will be back right where he is right now.

Trump and his White House deplorables make McCain sound like a moderate & peacenik.

“..the gays and feminists are ruining the black family!” Absolutely not! I’m from an island in the Caribbean where gays are mostly repressed and the feminist movement is practically non-existent; yet the family structure is kinda in free fall.

“black boys are being emasculated.” Absolutely they are! It’s been part of this racist society’s agenda from day one! BUT, if Dr Umar Johnson is putting this in a homosexual agenda context, he is dead wrong. And that’s part of the reason he’s Pan-Africanist attitude is not mine. I do however believe there’s a core…

Your attitude is what makes someone like Dr Umar Johnson necessary. Given the climate in the country with Trump and his murderous deplorables/police, if Umar Johnson didn’t exist the Black community would have to create him.

hmm, congrats to the “black querry”.. but that image does not sit well - does not feel right to me.. like a throw back to ‘attendants’/slaves in massa’s big house.. ‘black servers’ in ole colonial mansions.. there’s a whiff of slavery and colonialism to it all..

And the painful part for me as a black man is the realization that throughout our history in the western world, Black women have remained as steadfast & loyal as no other group of women, given similar histories. Talk about massive betrayal!!

But in truth it is an “us vs. them” mentality. Yet again, that’s the reality we are left with given how our society came into being. The reality of Donald Trump brings home the urgency... Black folks need to get over the kuumbaya mind set...

I agree with you, but it goes much deeper... In a white supremacist society where Black people make up only 13 percent of the population, every interracial coupling, whether we admit it or not, constitute a form of group-annihilation. It’s an ugly observation, but a reality all the same. Not to mention how black/white…

It’s a rather dismissive & insulting way of labeling blacks who are perceived as being too black: eg, those who question interracial marriages (they are pro-Black Love), the gay agenda and feminism. I disagree with the so-called Hoteps on many things, but to dismiss & marginalize them in mainstream media is…

There has always been a subtle racial & racist context to the Planet of the Apes series. Pay close attention.

True, the Dominicans are the most self-hating black folks around but that bleaching thing is trending all over the Black world, especially among those with the resources. I continue to think, unless we address that deep self-hatred, we perish.

I mean, seriously, is all this for real? This Trump & Russia thing is like a bad joke that keeps getting worst, and scarier.

I get Mika Brzezinski, but why bother with pond scum?

maybe we should not even mention Obama’s name when discussing Trump - separate universes ethically, morally, spiritually..

You are certainly bold, and knowledge & history shouts your truth. Know that there are many out there who share your take but slightly intimidated.

Disappointed that he’s not gonna serve time in prison but the stench to Cosby’s reputation will remain forever. I’m pretty sure those on the jury who wouldn’t convict are probably the type who voted for, or see nothing wrong with that other sexual predator in the white house.

Bet you some of the Cuban-American reactionaries standing behind TrumPutin and applauding the loudest, were among those who protested and condemned Nelson Mandela’s visit to Miami in 1990..

Just wait for it... any minute now Trump and the republican propaganda machinery (Fox, Breitbart) will find a way to drag in, or lay some blame on President Obama for this.
