Is Marches For Racial Equality A Hustle?

Writer Brad Bathgate offers a thought on leaders calling for marches.

 

When you hear Black leaders talking about wanting to March to Washington, D.C. to address racial issues in America, they are either delusional or they are hustling you.

Editorial : Can Black People Transfer Race?

 

When marginalized Black folk can suddenly decide that today they will enjoy ALL the benefits of White privilege and nobody opts to care let alone shoot up their holy space, THEN will race be fluid. Race is a social construction that works for oppression, no doubt, but until White folk give up their hatred and privilege absolutely, it must factor into a socio-political-economic analysis.

One Mother Leads her family Into A New but Important Tradition

Editorial  From Miss Nikki Banks

 

 

Yesterday I was telling my oldest two children about Juneteenth and why we will be celebrating that day instead of 4th of July from here on out (blacks were still slaves in America when America gained independence from the British)... My son asked why he can't go to a school that teaches real history and I told him if there are any I don't know of them but that's what he has me for, to correct the false teachings of American public schools... So with that being said, I'll be having a BBQ on Friday to celebrate the "freedom" of Blacks in America... Family and friends, you're invited to join in the celebration...


Editor's Note: Thank You Miss Banks. We encourage other parents to help fulfill  their children's education.

KEEP CALM AND ALLOW OPINION...Even Kanye's

 

 

Vanessa Jordan From The National R&B Society

Responds To Kanye's Reaction at The Grammy's and The Reaction to The Reaction!

 

I am not a Kanye West fan, nor do I agree with interrupting an honoree's moment. With that said, I shouldn't be, but I am amazed by some, that seem to be having an emotional reaction to his minor breech of protocol. It is one thing to say, he was disrespectful, it was tasteless, I don't like him etc., but the derogatory things that are being said like... a$$ wipe, a piece of S%!t, he's scum, he should catch a disease and die etc. is crazy. Why the meltdown? Protocol is broken everyday in congress, people yell out and interrupt the President while he is speaking and/or being honored. It would be nice to see President Barack Obama defended with that same passion when he, HIS TITLE and FAMILY are being disrespected everyday. For the record, Kanye has every right to say how he feels about who won or didn't win a Grammy and/or question the process.
