How many problematic whypipo do the Democrats need to 'feel comfortable'?
Please join us as we discuss the current political and cultural climate in this country.  The Democrats are pushing a theme of unity and outreach. We can't afford to allow them to brush over what has taken place in this country since its inception. While some may feel that the Democrats are going to really push for change, we see that they are reaching out to groups of problematic whypipo who will never see or accept that Black people are human and deserve common human decency, dignity, and respect. How are we supposed to unify with people who are our enemies? We can't afford to continue to allow either party to continue to exploit and marginalize us anymore. However, it seems as though the Democrats are going out of their way to appeal to whypipo who will never accept them.  They seem more determined to find commonalities with people who hate them than with the Black people who have supported them for decades. The Democrats need to understand that even though we may not vote for the Republicans, we are not obligated to vote for them or vote at all. We owe it to ourselves to forge a new path while holding both parties, especially the Democrats, to account for their participation in our oppression. They both know exactly what they're doing.  We can't afford to let them forget about, turn away, explain away, or outright refuse our humanity and human rights. It's time to PUSH back hard.

When someone shows you who they are believe them!
When someone shows you who they are believe them! There's nothing cryptic about that statement coined by Maya Angelou. It's the truth! We have been warning you about the dangers and pathology of whiteness. Yet, you continue to tell us that it's not really that bad and they wouldn't never stoop to that level. What say you now? There is so much to unpack. The storming of the Capitol in DC and state capitol's should not have surprised you. They openly planned these events. They openly plan because they know that they will be shielded and the laws only apply to the others. We need to be very careful about what we advocate for because the new 'domestic terrorism' laws will be wielded much heavier on marginalized groups. This is another way for them to infringe upon our right to assemble and voice our dissent. Pay attention! I distinctly warned you about what was going to happen. They didn't just start planning these events. America's politics have been stuck in the slavery/civil rights mindset. The Southern strategy is still in effect. None of this has changed. A lot of this pushback and disdain from white domestic terrorists have been playing out since the 50's, 60's, and 70's. Ted Cruz himself stated the he was ready to make a deal along the lines of the Compromise of 1877. Listen to what these people are saying out loud and in public. I need you to pay more attention to what is going on around you. These white domestic terrorist are hiding behind their Bibles, guns, manifest destiny/God given rights, and the delusion that everything belongs to them and living a good life at the expense of others is the American way. Anyway, please call in 310-982-4273 and press 1.

Why are you so surprised?
Please join us Sunday as we discuss what is happening in America and American politics. Why are you so surprised? These people tell you and show you exactly who they are.  You choose not to believe them. We continue to appeal to the emotions of people who do not see us as human. The degradation and dehumanization forced upon us has been happening so long that they, as well as some of us, see this as human.  We have to start changing how we think and devise additional ways in which to fight back.

White lies, whitelash, and black lives in the balance
Please join us Sunday at 1pm cdt as we discuss white lies, whitelash, and black lives.  History repeats itself and what we're currently experiencing is the time proven playbook of white people not being able to trick us into silence, obedience, and accomplices in their desperate attempt to keep & maintain power and control. The current political landscape is not new; however, tRump has thrown a few sucker punches that most Americans were not expecting and have no idea how to respond to. Between the overt ism's & phobias, most Americans are experiencing whiplash from watching the political parties sling mud, playing gotcha politics, and not being sure if anyone can be trusted.  Unfortunately, Covid had factored even more distrust in the political systems that are supposed to govern for us.  Feel free to dial in 310-982-4273 and press 1 to speak.

Please join us as we discuss why it's a time for change.  We must understand that we're all different and that's fine.  However, we can't forget that even though we're different, we're still subjected to the same laws and treatment regardless of who we may think that we are.

Please join us Wednesday at 6:00PM CDT as we talk about a number of issues that are being discussed in the black community. We'll talk about black influencers and their roles. How to tell the difference between posers and those who genuinely care about the black community. The black fetch & step mascots whose main job is to misdirect and confuse the black ommunity so that their white benefactors can continue to oppress the black community. The mascots are more than happy to play the part as long as they benefit financially and have the position as overseer of all things black per their definitions. Classism vs racism. Complicit black opportunists. So much to unpack.  See you Wednesday.

Nothing has changed
Please join us as we discuss how nothing has changed in many of these communities. They shift or regroup.

Don't fall for the tricks.

Atheist community, what are you doing?
Atheist organizations and so called leaders are doing what they do best...absolutely nothing! Where are the statements condemning racism, police murders, vigilante lynch mobs harassing black folks, tRump declaring war on the protesters, etc.? Yet you want us to join your ranks and pay you membership fees. I stand by my past criticisms of you!

Slave Patrols, Lynchings, and Slavery in the Era of tRump
Please join us Sunday as we discuss the Coronavirus and it's impact on Black communities. Not only are we expected to maintain our daily lives (stress, illness, family life, finances, and much more), we are expected to continue to endure the dehumanizing manner in which we are treated. The white supremacist powers that be demand that we turn a blind eye to the atrocities that are visited upon us daily with glad tidings, a dance for the occasion and a song on our lips. How long do they expect us to endure the suffering? Why do our so called leaders continue to fail us? Why are we asking or begging to be recognized as human beings deserving of fair treatment, equal rights, economic justice, social justice, and so much more? When are we going to not only say enoough is enough, but demonstrate that we aren't going to take the abuse anymore?
