The Proud Boys are the 21st Century’s Ku Klux Klan

Image
  It has already been stated and shown that the Proud Boys work hand-in-hand with law enforcement;  however, in light of the recent coup d’état, there is no longer any doubt in anyone’s mind of the validity of this. Thus, I want to showcase the similarities between today’s Proud Boys and the Ku Klux Klan of the 1910s. Both were/are intertwined with the government: Klan officeholders in particularly prominent and powerful positions included Governors Edward Jackson of Indiana and Clifford Walker of Georgia, as well as U.S. Senators Earle Mayfield of Texas and Rice Means of Colorado. - Joshua Rothman (12/04/2016), The Atlantic Wilson was also a segregationist who wrote a history textbook praising the Confederacy and, in particular, the Ku Klux Klan. As president, he rolled back hard-fought economic progress for Black Americans, overseeing the segregation of multiple agencies of the federal government. - Becky Little (07/14/2020), History The former top aide to Lauren Boebert, a Republic

Black People Making Moves on the Small Screen

Starting back in 2014, there was a rise in Black independent content-creators producing media on the small screen. The platform of choice was YouTube. One of the most popular shows to come out from back then was “Money and Violence.” It debuted in August of 2014. This was 1 month after the debut of “ Power, Book 1 .” At the time, despite its much smaller funding, this show was better than “Power.” Due to its acclaimed success, major studios were opting to fund this project.

He took to GoFundMe for crowdfunding and began producing season 2 of “Money and Violence.” Unfortunately, infighting—along with real hood-drama transpiring—brought the series to an abrupt end.

  "I make $50,000 a year. I'm about to buy a new house." Whenever I get paid, I never look at the gross income. I always look at the net income. Why? Because that's the money I take home. Looking at your gross income can be depressing when you compare it to the net income. The harder you work, the sadder the comparison becomes. There are many people in financial trouble because they run their numbers according to their gross income. When you apply for a loan or get a credit card, they even ask for the gross income. So, you may be making $50,000 a year, but you're taking home about $38,000. So, this person walks around with their chest out, spending money like they're taking home $50,000. This is why these folks get into serious debt. For those of you who read the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, he focuses on cash flow.
