121 - White Panthers

Black Politics Today ·

2018/02/26

White Nationalism has become the embodiment of what white republicans have come to stand for under this administration. However, Wakanda is what most Americans see as the encouragement of what America should be. Some $700M+ in two weeks, says America believes in the Black Panther more than they do the Trump Panther; and its racist nationalistic views. The future of our country must not be dependent upon the White Panthers of this administration, but it should be upon all of the Panthers of our

120 - “Cries of Anger”

Black Politics Today ·

2018/02/19

Guns Kill People! Yes, people kill people too. However, people would not be able to kill anyone without the absolute access that is given to guns in this country. The truth is, a gun needs a person to pull the trigger, and people who want to kill need a gun to do it. Assault weapons like AR-15 and M-16 are military style weapons designed for war, not hunting, unless you’re hunting humans. The question we need to ask ourselves: is access to deadly weapons more important than the safety of our

When you think about the past week and the previous fifty-seven weeks since this Test Tube Baby took office, do you want to rip your robe like David? Are you so fed up, that you can’t stand to hear another thing that’s going on inside this administration? Do you want to throw every American who voted for and those who didn’t vote at all, into a huge room and pimp slap them all? Or maybe you’re like me, and you want to, ala Chris Rock, Shake the Sh__ out of every African American who sat on their

2017/12/04

A racist, bigoted, narcissistic buffoon sits in 1600 without a clue of what to do, or how to do it. And yet, there are people who still think that having a racist for president is okay. Voters, made a deal and put the security and welfare of America in a BLIND TRUST and left Donald Trump as the fiduciary in charge and themselves hostage to 4yrs of chaos, threats of nuclear war, and a return to white supremacist way of thinking. America buried its head in the sand and as a result, their own bias’

2017/10/23

When a Commander in Chief lies about his conduct, everyone should hold that individual accountable. From Congress to the American people, they should hold that leader responsible for anything that happens on his watch. Unfortunately, Congress and that 27 percent don’t think so. As a result, hundreds of Americans have died because of his lack of leadership. The GOP has neglected to care for their constituents and other Americans across this country and it shows as the death toll increases with every

Black Politics Today ·

2017/10/16

A .45 Caliber weapon is known for its destruction to human life. It’s powerful bullet can rip through the bones of a man’s kneecap, or put a cantaloupe size hole in the back of a man’s head. That is the same destruction that many Americans have been feeling over the past 8months since there has been a 45 in the White House. Any .45 is deadly and destructive, and both have the potential of killing a number of innocent by-standers, whether it be through the power of 45s pen or, if its through the

Black Politics Today ·

2017/10/02

The Constitution grants American’s rights of expression and protection. However, it seems that those rights and protections only exist or are accepted when they are expressed by hypocritical white folks. When Black American’s exercise those same rights, they are labeled or demonized for it. Colin Kaepernick quietly expressed his disdain for police brutality, and his efforts have cost him his career. But, Donald Trump’s family can have private emails, communication with Russia, and make money off

2017/09/25

It was June 16, 2015, when a 68yr old smug, arrogant, insecure, narcissistic, Test Tube baby declared his candidacy for the presidency of these United States of America. The announcement was filled with vile animus and hatred towards Latino’s, immigrants, and other foreign and domestic ethnic groups of color. His language was filled with race baiting rhetoric that stoked the fears of many American’s now willing to embrace that fear tactic and support the dangerous path of this man. American’s must

2017/09/18

Thomas Jefferson once said “(white folks)… what we need is six years of compulsory education, and what he meant was education for white folks. Why, did he say this, "that white folks needed six years of school? Because he said, “So that they could rack a few geniuses from the rubbish, the rubbish being a dirt pile, or white trash. And remember these are white folks Jefferson was speaking of.” America we have to consider our future. Black America, we can no longer sit around and wait; We have to

2017/08/28

Criminal elements routinely are left to the seedy and derelict of society; the thugs and hoodlums. And yet, those same characteristics apply to the racist, bigoted thug who wore the uniform of law enforcement and held the position of Sheriff. Joe Arpaio, a vicious thug in uniform terrorize thousands of African American’s and Latino’s during his tenure as sheriff. Then karma hit, and Joe Arpaio was criminally convicted by a federal judge.

2017/08/21

White Supremacy has existed for centuries in America. And so has racism. Charlottesville, Durham, Seattle, and other cities across the country became the racial fields for the Neo Nazi, White Nationalist and the Alt-Right movement for white hatred. These groups and their insecure leadership have found the acceptance by their de facto leader to be a bugle, to assemble and fight for white supremacy. That fight, the same fight waged in the 1800s, 1900s and now in 2017, will have a far different

2017/08/14

In 1967 the arrest of black men and women that were peacefully enjoying themselves at an after hours nightclub in a black neighborhood by white police officers sparked the fuse for the start of the Detroit Riots. Ultimately the shooting death of three more unarmed black men after three white officers terrorized a group of black hotel patrons fueled even more anger. As the cops covered up their murder and blamed the victims for their deaths, tensions flared. Police violence against black me isn't

2017/08/07

The Trump Administration under Attorney General Jeff Sessions has embarked upon a witch hunt for white students in America that have been discriminated against by colleges and universities in admissions because they have accepted African Americans as students. A Task Force has been organized to research whether or not these cases exist, with the result that the college or university will be prosecuted by the Justice Department.

The Trump White House for 190 days has shown a complete disregard for the dignity of the Presidency. This quartet of imbeciles, fools, neophytes, and plain ole jackass (Trump) have demonstrated why this man has been sued numerous times and has filed bankruptcy more than four times. It's because, Donald Trump after learning how to tie his shoes and cheat on his wives, has mastered nothing of any substantive relevancy. His attempts at history and stating that Andrew Jackson was upset at the Civil War,

Thirteen! That's the number of white men that crafted the healthcare plan for over 350M Americans, and they did so, in 13 days. Theirs always been that superstition about the number 13 being unlucky. Hotels, don't have a 13th floor. You rarely find it as a persons favorite number. And yet, that's the number of bonehead senators it took to totally destroy one sixth of our nations economy and steal $800 Billion out of Medicaid/Medicare and give $600 Billion in tax cuts to the wealthiest people in

The GOP Senate Bill will ultimately cause 23Million American's, many of which are African American, to lose their healthcare insurance, not in the name of better insurance, but in the name of $600 Billion in tax cuts for the wealthiest people in America.

With just a 143 days in office and with more than a dozen investigations circling the White House, First Family members, staff, and Russia, it's no wonder so many American's have become more and more desensitized to the continuous volume of conflicts of interest surrounding this White House and staff.
