To me the basic question should always be, ‘what have you done for the Black community to make us turn out?’ 

I dare anyone to name one Black person who has spoken out against anti-blackness & white supremacy and was not tagged or labeled a racist?

The ones using coded language like “Soros/globalist” etc., are the real dangerous antisemites and they fill the ranks of today’s Republican party. But here’s the thing though, they are mostly given a pass because on the other hand they voice support for Israel. Very  sinister.

I wonder how the folks at Fox News who were lauding & celebrating Kanye as a “free thinker” are reacting now?

What da hell? Is this an inside joke? The CIA honoring Harriet Tubman is soooo vulgar and an insult to Tubman’s legacy & memory! Harriet Tubman was a warrior & liberator and stood for everything the CIA does not - it is a murderous institution stained with African blood! What kind of freaking representation is this?…

Geez, some of yall are still beating up on Ice Cube? Come on already!

My comment above was meant as a reply to your post. I messed up!

Aha...But Museveni has close ties to the US - he’s looked upon with favor because he’s helped in doing our dirty work in Eastern Congo. He only really pisses us off when he starts spewing anti-gay stuff.

Are we to pretend we didn’t see this coming? Everyone’s profiting off Black death & suffering - it’s become a hustle! And thats because we refuse to hold folks accountable. How could Daunte Wright’s son “not seen one single penny” from his father’s memorial fund? Crazy! Samaria Rice, the mother of 12-year old Tamir,…

Herschel Walker could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody (with Fox News covering it), and not lose any white voters. Or something like that...

She’s smart enough to know there’s a market for anti-blackness and our enemies are propping her up with funds and a platform. Black self-hatred has particular currency these days.

LOL...wicked!!

Great read! And yes, Walter Rodney was banned from Jamaica and not allowed to continue his teaching position at UWI.

Yea, Kareem has a point but increasingly he’s becoming such a condescending bore! Always lecturing people like LeBron James and other Black athletes in a manner that plays to the white gaze. He’s becoming too sanctimonious for my taste. Maybe he's  owned that right but a break from the pulpit won't  hurt at all .

This confirms my belief that today’s crop of Black Republicans are fakes, scammers, low-ranking opportunists and black self-haters. I dare anyone to name one exception?

As per the Update: just wow!!

Oh wow, I’d forgotten that Belafonte angle. And as an elder he remains militant as hell!

And please, let's not forget his colorism shit aimed at dark-skin Black women - requesting light-skin/"multiracial women only" apply for one of his fashion shows. Time to cut off his oxygen!

EXACTLY...so why does TheRoot continue feeding & playing into his racist madness? I don't  get it.

Anyone familiar with Aretha Franklin’s true love of her people can’t be surprised by this revelation. She didn’t only sing & talk the talk, she invested(financially) heavily in our liberation. Aretha Franklin, the People’s Queen!
