“If you are a person of color you can have as much money as you want, you are still are who you are” – Sheila Johnson (co-founder of B.E.T)
In the U.S. today, the average African-American household owns just 6 cents for every $1 of wealth held by the typical white household, and blacks make up just 1.7% of the top 1% of wealthy Americans. But there are black members of the 1% who are working to change that. Tanzina Vega investigates the historical and contemporary racial barriers to wealth creation in the U.S.
I don’t know what the f*ck is going on here at this meeting of Omega Psi Phi but there is definitely something wrong and it needs to be addressed asap. Things like this gives a lot of fuel and credence to the ‘homosexual agenda ‘theory that is talked about in many black circles.
About 11 p.m. Saturday, Antonio F. Knox Sr., the Grand Basileus for Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., said he began receiving phone calls and text messages about a video on social media that featured members of the organization.
The less-than-two-minute video, which has received more than 6 million views on Facebook and YouTube, shows a number of members of the fraternity hopping with their pants down — low enough to expose their buttocks.
Props to Tariq for not just talking it but living it. Youtube is flooded with a bunch of conscious clowns and Black Feminists who wanna talk world politics on the net but are afraid to go to the very places they talk about. Cowards.

While mumble rap dominates the headlines this drops and nobody says nothing.
Tariq Nasheed recently revealed that the FBI knocked on his door asking about his affiliations. This was never proven to be 100% fact but if they are knocking at your door then they view you as some type of threat.

Elaine Brown has serious problems with the BLM movement, questionable ties to the Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton and has expressed so in an interview with Spiked..
I don’t know what Black Lives Matter does, so I can’t tell you how it compares to what the Black Panther Party was. I know what the BPP was. I know the lives we lost, the struggle we put into place, the efforts we made, the assaults on us by the police and government – I know all that. I don’t know what Black Lives Matter does. So if you can tell me, I’ll give you my thoughts.’
So says Elaine Brown, activist, singer and former chairwoman of the Black Panther Party, talking to me from her home in Oakland, California. She doesn’t like my question. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Black Panther Party, a revolutionary, socialist, black-power organisation formed in Oakland by then college students Huey Newton and Bobby Seale. And, as journalists scrabble to pen pieces about ‘what’s changed’, cack-handed comparisons abound.
I ask Brown about Black Lives Matter, the movement that erupted in the wake of the shooting of Mike Brown, an unarmed black teenager, in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014. This nebulous hashtag-come-protest movement has been compared – both by its supporters and detractors – with the BPP; it’s either hailed as a continuation of the struggle or slammed as a resurgence in ‘divisive’, ‘militant’ black nationalism. Talking to Brown it becomes clear that both sides give BLM too much credit.

From the sick mind of Eminem. Somebody get Lord Jamar on the phone.
Prodigy from Mobb Deep visits the Munchies Test Kitchen to enlighten us on how to cook BBQ salmon if you were in prison. Now you might say, “But I am not in prison, why would I make this?” The answer to that is simple, because it is delicious and affordable. This is a great recipe for any with access only a microwave and a toaster oven, like a college student living in the dorms, or someone in prison.
Crakk still nice. Hov needs to pick this guy up.

Somebody get Feminista on the phone.
If Birth of a Nation was going to be a success, it would have been from white people going to see it. But word got out that it was a movie about a slave that went nuts and went around killing white people, without any scenes in which the black guy has magic powers or a white guy is the real hero, and they were like, “Uh, no thank you.”
Black feminists sabotaged Birth of a Nation, and now they’re upset because people are blaming them for the film’s poor performance at the box office. What sense does that make?
Inconsistency, thy name is Shaniqua.
Birth of a Nation hit theaters this past Friday, i.e. a week ago today, and apparently not very many people went to see it. It grossed $7.1 million at the box office. Because it costs literally an arm and a leg to see a movie in the theater these days, that means only a small handful of people went to see it.

Must read!!!!!!! I repeat this is a must read. If you got 8 minutes you need to take the time out and read this young lady’s view on the success or lack there of the Nate Parker directed “Birth of a Nation” which did a reported $7 million at the box office.

I’ve decided to write this because I felt that it was much more conducive to do than a social media rant.
It’s Sunday, October 9th, 2016 7:02 pm and I just want to start this by saying that at this point, I’m over social media, and I’m over the cyber mafia known as “Black Feminism”.
I‘m to the point where if I even see another black woman with “feminist” in her bio, I assume that she’s petty and that I should not associate with her publicly or privately.
If you haven’t seen/read the news already, Birth of A Nation has flopped in the box office and we have black feminism, which is just fancy cyber vernacular for “I hate black men because I always choose the wrong types of black men to entertain” and their male minions to thank.
This is pretty unfortunate to say, as a woman, especially in the world we live in where there is much negative stigma attached to being a black woman and being a black woman myself.
When I first was introduced to black feminism as teenager….

Weird as f*ck. Black people want nothing to do with a ‘whip” unless its a wraith.
Members of the Shia community in Piraeus celebrated the Shia Muslim festival of Ashura with a traditional self-flagellation ceremony, Wednesday. The men chanted, beat their chests and whipped themselves with chains bearing blades, often until they bled.
Since the recording of these interviews Dr. Umar has taken issue with the titling of Vlad’s previous parts of this interview even going so far as to calling him a ‘fuckboy’. Now Dr. Umar may have a point but taking the most salacious part of an interview no matter how minuscule is part of click bait marketing in order to gain as many views as possible. It probably lines Vlad’s youtube ad revenue bottomline but it also gives Dr. Umar more people watching his interviews.
Dr. Umar Johnson stopped by VladTV to talk about his thoughts regarding the murders of Prince, Michael Jackson and Tupac. Dr. Umar began by providing background on the deaths of the late celebrities. “Michael Jackson owned the rights to the Beetles; he owned a significant portion of Elvis’s catalog, who’s more popular than them, two guys? In the world of white music, and a black man owns the rights, Sony Records deliberately sabotaged Michael Jacksons last album…” Umar explained that if Michael had gone on tour, he would have had the liquid cash to pay off a debt he owed to Sony Records and he would have been able to keep his catalog. Umar went on to go into depth about how he feels the music industry works. “You know the music industry functions like any other white racist society; it gets down to lay down, so Michael was murdered.”
This has been totally ignored by the mainstream media. Honestly this is my first time hearing about this story until this election cycle. Who knows if this has any validity at all and isn’t just a stunt pulled by Alex Jones for clicks and views. Damn sure looks like him tho.
Danny Williams who claims to be Bill Clinton’s son stated on the Alex Jones Show that Hillary Clinton banished him from seeing his father.
Floyd is actually the asshole idiot of the day with these latest comments and I was a Floyd Mayweather fan. Wonder what Brother Polight has to say about this.

Dr. Umar Johnson shared his thoughts on a variety of topics during a recent sit-down with VladTV, including how prisons are continuing slavery today, Colin Kaepernick’s protest, and Jay Z’s ability to start change today.
