The same black women who are PUBLICLY attacking LeBron James and his son, Bronny, for taking a fit, feminine, young, attractive, blonde white girl (with her own hair and natural hair color) to the prom, who PUBLICLY ranted and raved about the possibility of Roe V Wade being overturned, who PUBLICLY cried foul at the thought of breastfeeding their own babies after the news of a baby formula shortage, who ALWAYS yell about the so called black male oppression of black Women, who PUBLICLY laughed and celebrated after hearing the rumor and then the actual announcement of Kevin Samuels’ passing, and who ALWAYS love to quote Malcolm X’s very out dated statement about black women being the least protected, most disrespected group in America (BTW, NONE of these chicks PUBLICLY wished Malcolm X a happy birthday on the 19th of this month) have yet to PUBLICLY DENOUNCE, attack, demean, and wish death on the white male mass shooter who murdered six black women during his rampage. Maybe he has a cur...

The supposed shortage of manufactured baby formula and the very idea of modern women breastfeeding MORE has really ruffled a lot of their feathers. The excuses, my bad, the reasoning behind why breastfeeding a human being that is born from their bodies are coming out of the woodworks. Instead of just saying, “Because I just don’t want to.” Or “It’s just such an inconvenience for ME.” Some are bringing up medical reasons for why breastfeeding is an impossibility for a very small population of young women of childbearing age. Now, if the woman is over the age of 35 trying to give birth, more than likely she can only produce powdered milk. Hey, it is what it is. But what I find to be most interesting is that most women today can so easily reject something that is natural to them such as breastfeeding the little human life that formed and grew inside her body; thus, consciously maneuvering away from the most important bonding period between mother and child. While on the other hand, if a m...

Ok. The historic abortion decision Roe V Wade has recently been struck down by the Supreme Court of the United States and the American populace has angrily and aggressively chosen sides as usual. One side is claiming that a woman’s right to get an abortion at her convenience has been taken away. That same side is also saying that “if you don’t have Fallopian tubes, a uterus or a vagina, stay out of a woman’s reproductive business!” Funny, this same side NEVER says this to the Tranz community. Oh well. I guess that would be too much like right. The other side is cheering and saying, “Good, abortion is murder!” “Protect the unborn!” “Take accountability ladies for your sexual behavior or sexual reproductive choices the very same way men are held accountable, but through the legal system !” They are saying, “You only want planned parenthood funded because you are too cheap to pay for your own abortions and you want tax payers to continue to fund the results of your one night stands when ...

  In posts on Instagram and in a few of the Grambling State University alumni groups, the 69th Miss Grambling was acknowledged and celebrated and rightfully so. However, I think 69 women to serve as a queen to zero young men ever getting to serve as a king on campus is enough and has gone on for too long. I think it’s past time for this eternally single campus queen position to exist without and campus King or Mr. Grambling position.   I think it is past time that my beloved Grambling State University has an election for a Mr. Grambling State University. In the times that we are currently living in ( Diversity and Inclusion ) and not already having a Mr. Grambling election is looking like hypocrisy, contradiction, and gender bias on the campus of Grambling State University. When I was student at Grambling in the day, the thought of a Mr. Grambling election never entered mind and this thought was never introduced by ANYONE in the student body, on the faculty nor by anyone in le...

This is #JimCrow Joe Biden’s choice for the Supreme Court Justice seat that’s becoming available in June of this year. Her name is #KetanjiBrownJackson . She is pictured here with her white spouse. I wonder if her having a white spouse has triggered as much anger and vitriol in black people, mainly black women, the way it did when #ClarenceThomas who also has a white spouse was nominated for the Supreme Court back in the day. So far, I have NOT heard any black person, especially black women, remind her that her father is black. I have not heard anyone black, especially black women, refer to her as a self hater for dating and marrying a white person. I wonder if she is going to be told that she hates her father for marrying outside of her race. Clarence Thomas was called a bootlicking Uncle Tom and a sell out for his conservative views. I wonder if Ketanji is going receive these same names from black people for her conservative views. Actually, I have read some of her views on race an...

DAMN! There are actual BLACK AMERICANS who care more about the white on white conflict in the Ukraine than they did about the massive earthquake that hit Haiti or the constant robbing of natural resources from countries in Africa by China and other European countries including America. Need I mention the deep silence of these same “concern for the Ukraine” American blacks on the issues of reparations, out of wedlock births, single motherhood, the constant assault on black male masculinity, the purposeful underfunding of public school systems where the student population is more than 85% black, and the purposeful ignoring of political tangibles for the black community by the Democratic Party even when the party receives millions of dollars in political donations and over 90% of the black vote from said community? I get it. The Russian-Ukraine incident is easy to get behind and express concern over. There’s really no actual work involved our expressing concern like the rest of America. ...

ESSENCE Magazine is the premier magazine for Black women. Still say the AGENDA isn’t real? Still don’t believe that a moral and genetic bait n switch is not occurring in this country? In the black community? Where are the so called voices of the black Believers in Christ? Why the CONTINUING silence on what your good book speaks out against when it comes to this blatant display of the #LGBTQPIA Agenda? Why are black women in general so silent when it comes to the topic of homosexuality EXCEPT when they get socially upset with a straight BLACK man who is labeled as disagreeable and is then ANGRILY referred to as being gay in an effort to shame and discredit him or his opposing views on a topic that they feel strongly about? How come black Women NEVER publicly call out or chastise homosexuality in their gender, but yet will write a blog and do a two hour video on YouTube about how some black men date outside of their race or on the topic of down low black men, but never on the high numb...
