White folks should stop propagandizing the BIG LIE that they fought the Civil War to free Blacks from slavery. If they really felt that way - emancipation would have popped without a war. They fought to reunify the country. Emancipation was a last minute war tactic. That's It!!!

When American Freedmen were facing lynchings, community destruction, and police dogs - the Diaspora let us handle that shit alone. Not a peep. Now that the possibility of money is possible - here they come out of the woodwork with "advice" and "brotherhood." Funny Motherfuckers.

I always thought PBD had more understanding than this. When I agree with Roland Martin - it's got to be bad.

NIKE? Family - stop purchasing NIKE products. This time we must have some TRIBAL BACKBONE. You don't have to wear that shit. Don't support anti-Black racism. We can't continue to finance other's ability to put us on our knees at their whim. LET'S GET SMART.

NEW RULE: Any American Freedman politician that has "Black and Brown" in his mouth should be immediately cancelled. If he is an incumbent - plans should be made to vote him out of office. He represents Hispanics. Not You...

#No2HR40 - Could it be that NAARC and N'COBRA are being paid by the power structure to disrupt and kill reparations? I'm looking at the way they are moving in California [AB 3121] and I'm starting to SMELL that possibility. Just a speculation Family...

I don't know what it is about us to want to fight for and support Native Americans. Have they handed any of the 400+ casinos they own over to us? Shared any of their reparations? Showed any real support for our reparations case? Why do we fight for them? We have our own battles.

Family - it's time to do a hard study of The Montgomery Bus Boycott. The power of being organized, determined, and On Code. We can tweak and modify it to fit present conditions. But that needs to be dusted off and heavily reexamined Family.

In the Chicago race for Mayor - I just found out that candidate Brandon Johnson is Caribbean. And not actually for Freedmen. So I'm not voting for him. Dude is clicked in with the Pan African forces that are involved with the false reparation bullshit in Evanston. Disappointing.

Look - I'm not crazy about Kanye West's utterances. But I am quite disturbed watching certain Black celebrities and other Blacks "dancing on his grave." What is that? Even if he's wrong - its not a good look to cheer on another community killing one of your own folks.

REPARATIONS EXASPERATION It is really difficult sometimes to talk to white folks about Reparations. I'm speaking to one guy (whom is getting more and more uncomfortable with the information) and his stupid-assed friend asks me out the blue: "Do you hate white people?" I

Al Sharpton says: "We have to fight for everybody!" No motherfucker - YOU have to fight for everybody. Those same "everybodies" have representatives in Congress that say we should not get reparations - and they are shooting us at the same time. The fuck we look like Man?

RIGHT NOW!!! All of Black Chicago should be demanding their $15,000 check. You Know - the same check they gave to no-fighting-for-this-country and no-taxpaying migrants. Don't we deserve the same treatment?

Pan Africanism is a form of anti-Black animus. Specifically animus towards those Blacks that are descended from American slavery. To them we are only mules that will effectuate resources for Africans and Caribbeans through our reparations. Dr. Ron Daniels despises us. We are

It's mostly Black preachers that have poisoned us with "love your enemies" bullshit. Causing us to prioritize other's children over our own. Forgiveness for heinous crimes committed by whites against our own mothers. But WE can't get along. Time to reassess our philosophies.

The whole Rap community needs to be CHECKED by Native Black Americans. Promoting the use of "NIGGER" is not art. It is public psychological abuse on Black people. Media supported disrespect and denigration. We also need to address the corporate financiers that pay for this crap.
