The Grio is now trying to get ahead of the reparations talk and will eventually act like they were at the forefront of it when it becomes inevitable. Be prepared for black folks taking credit for pushing reparations who were at best lukewarm before if not openly laughing at it or against it...

The Portuguese did a pretty good job on the mentality down there. The slave trade there was the most brutal probably and that's with saying it was ALL brutal AF, but the Portuguese simply worked them to death because it was so easy getting new ones. The vast majority of the Atlantic slave trade...

There are certain iconic figures I am very touchy about having it done right: Malcolm X, Garvey, Frederick Douglas, Harriet Tubman, etc, and Bob Marley is on that list. He had respect for the whole diaspora (as well as Peter Tosh). Buffalo Soldier is a tribute to FBAs and the struggle in America...

My experience what drives white folks the craziest when it comes to us is when as a collective we show we don't care for their approval or need their validation. When we simply do us unapologetically. I spent some time in a certain Asian country. We started our FB page for us. Addressed...

Next time I'm in LA it's first on my list after seeing family.

My ultimate hope is we start preferring HBCUs and especially athletes. The football and basketball team generates roughly 50 million on average at major D1 big sports program. We should have been keeping our athletes like we did prior to the mid 70s. I want to see our multi millionaires and the...

King and most of the civil rights people are D9. When integration happened the fight left many. Now you have white D9. I'm DONE. You were grilled tough being Caribbean and black. I've met one African. Cool ass Somali guy who moved like Brothas, down dude. But in my day no black Latinos as far...

Every article I've seen VC ague AF. Why?

The takeaway is having hip hop blacks interview politicians that are anti black. Would he have left the same if Jason Black was interviewing him? We are literally the only people who do this. Both the liberal and conservatives don't let rock music hosts interview presidential candidates. Kamala...

This obsessive need for any kind of attention I'm guessing is folks are ignored throughout their daily, life. Living a meager existence and just want someone, anyone to pay attention. It's both men and women.

Not trying to offend but the way blacks practice Christianity as a collective I don't consider it empowering. It's a coping mechanism to basically deal with white supremacy directly or tangentially. White evangelicals practice the same exact religion completely different. I say this as someone...

The initiation process isn't uniform. The big problem with the initiation process is you have 19, 20, 21 year olds who get a god complex, lack maturity, and have a fair amount of free reign in straight out abuse. It becomes 'Lord of the Flies' in some chapters. Ours was fairly bad but sadly the...

Too many of this type of brothas these days. It's sad. The video is disturbing. He knows there is a video of him being recorded and he's showing out. Traditionally, we would never, ever hit a woman in public like this. The only time you heard about it was domestic abuse but never in public and...

Another side effect is whatever fake people of color alliance with Asians is now officially done. The guy who ran the organization that fought against it is Jewish. I didn't see any Jewish groups condemn him for it. Let that be a Black person leading the BDS (boycott, divest, sanction)...

I am loving this for the obvious reasons but also others like knowing how white folks are gonna be triggered. And also that California is a bellwether state, white folks know if the nations biggest state is paying the federal government isn't far behind. I love reading the comments on articles...

Good luck

AA was dead anyway. Schools who want to give Blacks preferences have been doing it already. California had banned AA in colleges for 25 years. If you talk to any admissions office privately they'll tell you they can easily find out the race. You need an email, that email is tied to your FB...

Tariq was uncomfortable with it for the right reasons. It kinda cringe. The person's heart is in the right place, I think. But why start a group based on that? I'd love to know which 'Sixer'(s) based on their posts would join. Maybe its a joke, half joke or serious. No one on here would be...
