Dialoguing with the Dominant Society: The Influx of Automation

Image
A week ago, I stopped by a nearby car service place. This place is owned by a Black man. Under him, there’s a Black woman that’s a manager there. A White woman works there as support in administrative functions. Now, while I was there, I was mistaken for the Black woman’s boyfriend . I tend to resemble someone that people know. So, I’m used to this. However, due to this, the White woman continued explaining issues going on with a credit card processing company that the owner is dealing with. He hasn’t been having problems. However, the Black woman has. After being explained the details, she said that she’d reach out to the company, once again, to address her problem. Only she is having problems using their service. Furthermore, she stated that she was going to go off on them. This explains why, when I stepped into the business, it appeared as though the White woman owned it. Since I’ve been there before, I knew that she didn’t. However, the Black guy isn’t abreast of things like

The Trojan Horse

Recently, there has been a dispute between (F)oundational (B)lack (A)mericans and (A)merican (D)escendants (O)f (S)laves. The conflict came to light in the public after Antonio Moore voiced his grievances with Tariq Nasheed over his FBA Conference next year. Antonio called it a competing conference. Now, their dispute has nothing to do with me. However, Tariq brought to light something interesting. Until now, I—like most—assumed that ADOS was centered on one’s lineage. However, Tariq highlighted that it’s a two-prong movement. Part of the movement is centered on one’s lineage. The other part is a (P)olitical (A)ction (C)ommittee geared around to ensuring that it gets certain democrats in office. Now, I understand why their primary focus would be the Democrats. However, they shouldn’t be the only focus. However, Yvette and Antonio (the leaders) have made it clear that ADOS doesn’t support republicans. Now, contrary to liberals (Democrats), the conservatives (Republicans) have been o

Institutional Education vs Self-Education

Image
For people that have read my blog posts, you may think that I have an issue with institutional schooling. However, that’s not the case. I’m just a bigger proponent of self-education. Institutions teach the masses how to become employees. After all, no one—with sense--goes to college to learn how to start a business. Now, of course, most people will never be business owners; most will be employees. However, despite the intentions of institutions, most students only learn how to regurgitate information that was explained to them countless times. Furthermore, this information is only stored long enough to pass the class in question. Afterward, the brain dumps it because the information isn’t considered vital. Think about it. For the scholars that read my posts, how much of the information that you were taught in school do you use on a practical basis. I’d say 98% of the information isn’t used. Now, let’s look at self-education. By the way, when I say self-education, I’m not talking

Chinks in the Armor

Image
For the longest, White supremacy’s greatest strength has been its codification. However, chinks are beginning to form in the armor. Thus, it’s beginning to lose its grip on the world. To illustrate my point, I’ll point to 2 of its most outspoken proponents, Richard Spencer and Milo Yiannopoulos. Both have unceremoniously fallen from grace. Both are broke, despite their White privileges. However, even the alliance has shattered. Milo leaked audio of Richard Spencer stating how he really felt about having his Unite the Right event being canceled in North Carolina.  He stated what was already known; he’s a White supremacist. However, he stated another Universal Truth that I’ve touched on. This world is predicated on Winners and Losers . Richard Spencer isn’t the only chink in the armor to rear its ugly face. We have the college cheating scandal. Lisa Cabrera further showcased that there’s a hidden building in Kenya that many White elitists solicit schoolwork from to help their
