  Ok. I guess we should be use to these images of black men being purposefully paraded around in the public wearing women's clothes and taking pregnant maternity photos for white magazines. Yeah, the gay agenda is real. The conspiracy to destroy black boys is real and continuous. However, since I know this, I am not shocked at these images anymore. I was already educated a long time ago by Dr. Francess Cress Welsing, Dr. Amos Wilson, Dr. Jawanzaa Kunjufu, Brotha Neely Fuller, Dr. Na'im Akbar, Minister Farrakhan and a few other Afrikan Centered Scholars on the black male being the threat to white supremacist rule. Therefore, he must always be under continuous psychological and systematic attack. The public buck breaking and humiliation of the biggest and strongest black male has been a psychological strategy used on the black race in America since the American chattel slavery days. The only difference between then and now is that back then, the enslaved Afrikan male child and a...

I thought most women were against aborting babies. Why are so many women upset over this recent ban on abortion in Texas? Is their outrage actually about babies being aborted or is it that the new abortion ban is serving as a challenge to many of their lack of sexual discipline or accountability? One could think that pregnancy, let alone an abortion, would not not be such a big issue when women have over 21 options of birth control to choose from which also includes anal sex, oral sex, and abstinence to prevent pregnancy. Now, in the cases of rape, incest, and child molestation or even in the case of a medical threat to a woman's life , I truly understand where an abortion can come into play.. However, a woman using abortion as a tool for birth control is truly sick, lazy and irresponsible. I am not advocate for or against abortion. However, I do think that abortion would not be such an issue if the already multiple and readily available birth control options were exercised more o...

  Thirteen years have passed since I had “the conversation” with my biological father. My biological father, a man who had absolutely no interest what so ever in being my father since the very moment I was conceived and ultimately delivered onto this earth. He proved this by not only disappearing to never be heard from again, but when I found him in 2008, he even told me to my face, “I have worked aggressively over the years to prevent you from ever finding me.” Over the past thirteen years, I have come to somewhat gain insight into what would actually cause a man to behave this way towards an innocent child, essentially his very own child. I can now understand to some extent, how this man would even go so far as to reject and even disrespect that now adult child to his face when standing right before him on his porch. Well, not exactly on his porch. More like the walk way that led to the beginning of the steps to the porch. When I stopped being emotional. When I stopped menta...

You can't be so obtuse to the fact that this is a personal hit on Donald Trump. Mark Zuckerberg, the creator and CEO of Face book, knows damn well that billions of  people use Face Book and Twitter are under the impression of having free speech whenever they utilize both social media platforms. If people thought that they were not going to have this right, there would be no customers on FB or any other social media platform such as IG or Twitter. Reportedly, Mark Zuckerberg created his social media business initially as an avenue for freedom of expression as well as a vehicle to connect people together and I am also assuming regardless of beliefs and varying political perspectives. Yes. Trump has enough money to create his own social media platform where he can say what he wants to say. However, I don't think this newly elected Democratic and EXTREMELY liberal government will just sit back respect his right to free speech there either. So, if Trump is being told, "Create y...

  When I read where former NBA player, turned head coach of the University of Memphis basketball team,   Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway ,  signed a five year extension deal of 12.25 million dollars to stay on as head coach of the University of Memphis  tiger basket ball team I was like, “Damn! That's ALL!?” Former tigers head basket ball coach,  John Calipari, damn near made that much in just one year as head coach of the tigers. This was coach Penny's first year as head coach of the, until recently, lackluster University of M emphis basketball team. In his first year as head coach, Coach Penny brought back life and excitement to the team. Most importantly, he brought back wins. To top it all off, Coach Penny recently sent two powerhouse players to the NBA.    When Penny initially signed on last year as the head coach, he reportedly accepted (in my opinion) an extremely low amount of money to resurrect a team that was on life support. He reportedly ...

  I saw this picture of gospel singer, Smokie Norful, circulating on Face Book on some black men’s pages and I just had to stop to read some of the comments on some of those pages. Sadly, a lot of the comments about the image in the photo clearly came from of places of ignorance, false doctrines and even insecurity. Some even implied that there was something gay about the picture. There is absolutely nothing gay about a man who is a father accepting an emotional token and/or a physical expression of love and appreciation from his son regardless of how old the son is. He is still this man’s child. Clearly, Smokie’s teenage son loves his daddy very much. What I see is a dad who created a trusting, loving, secured and stable environment for his child to grow up in. It is apparent that his dad has been a nurturing father. When his son is officially grown and out of the house, that loving father and loving son bond will still be strong. Can't be mad at this.   As a Masters Leve...

  In my opinion, pregnant teenage girls should NOT be given a baby shower for her irresponsible behavior. Throwing a baby shower for these girls only encourages this irresponsible behavior. This also encourages single motherhood, which most often times leads to another child being born into poverty and in a dangerous a dangerous neighborhood. If you take a look at it, you will notice that more than likely houses where these baby showers are being thrown for these un-wed, uneducated, financially strapped teen mothers to be are absent of fathers or men in general. Yes. I said it. The women in our community promote teen pregnancy. They promote fatherlessness. They couldn’t care less about the mental and emotional development of a black baby because they want to have a party and by any means necessary. I think today’s society has made it very comfortable for young girls to just get pregnant without any fear of being shamed or without even having to have a thought about how the hell ...
