Voting apathy remains stubbornly high, especially among poor Black folks. But why? Getting back to the "good ol days" of Biden and Obama isn't enough.    #votingrights #blackpolitics #obama #biden #democrats
The gutting of the Voting Rights Act will result in fewer Black elected officials in Congress. Honestly, I'm not all that upset about that. 
Malcolm X, like Dr. King, is honored and rightfully so. However, doing so without proper context, in ways that bleed into hero worship, ultimately hurts us. 
They say Trump is waging a war against Black history but I would beg to differ. 
For some reason, middle to upper class Black folks believe they're special. 
Jesse Jackson's passing provides an opportunity to look at the past and evaluate the present. Hopefully we have a better future. The Target Boycott is central to the discussion. 
John Newton is famous for writing the hymn, "Amazing Grace." That grace, however, didn't extend to my people. That them-- a Christianity laced with racism --still shapes our world in every way. 
Black people will never have control without a focused effort in the realm of economics. However, attempts along those lines are always met with critiques of "Black Capitalism."
The US recently stepped foot on Venezuelan soil and took the country's president. This is about power and Negroes better take note.
