The Future Leaders of Black America

Image
This is going to be a complicated, lengthy post. I skimmed an article that was developed by Cerulean Grey . The framework originates from Charles Faulkner Jr . However, I’m going to focus on a specific segment of the Grey-Faulkner Initiative, Black boys. I’m deviating significantly, though. Hence, the name of the post.  As much as I hate to give praise to the unpraiseworthy, my plan stems from the source material of a video posted by the OK Program of Oakland . It has a video with celebrities endorsing it. That’s the only good thing about the OK Program of Oakland. The OK Program of Oakland is a program ran by the Oakland Police Department that teaches useless information to Black male youths. By the way, Civil Rights attorneys also labeled the Oakland police department as “ intolerable .” Now, the celebrity endorsements aspect is a great asset to getting “The Future Leaders of Black America” up and running. From henceforth, I’m going to type as though this will be enacted. Now,

…Or Else

Image
“Or Else” was a term that Minister Louis Farrakhan used years ago for a movement that he was pushing. However, the “Or Else” lacked teeth at the time. As things regress in this country, “Or Else” has to get a real bite to it. It can no longer be an empty threat. Professor Black Truth has stated things that are in-sync with serving as dire consequences for authoritative puppets not acquiescing to our demands. I side with this line of thinking. I’m going to pull from a group that everyone knows not to cross, the Jews. To this day, surviving partakers of the Holocaust are still being executed. There is no forgiveness for this, only severe retribution. We have to be like-minded in the heavyhandedness of our punishments for those that transgress against us. Asking people to do what we want won’t cut it. Moreover, mentioning using President Trump as a punishment for not complying isn’t severe enough. There must be severe punishment in place for transgressing. Nicole (of Nicole’s View)

Attempts at Sidestepping Reparations and Negotiating

Image
All of the key-figure candidates have, in their own way, attempted to sidestep reparations. Kamala Harris is the latest example. Currently, she is offering ADOS $100 billion in housing grants. This is great; this can be accepted in addition to reparations. However, this isn’t reparations. No counter-offer will offset our demand for reparations. When the government cuts the check for our reparations, we can afford to buy houses anyway. So, this is a cheap substitute. It’s essential for ADOS to reject any alternatives other than reparations. Some people may feel that their stance of withholding our votes until we get our exact demands met is an ignorant stance. Here, they are wrong. In terms of negotiations, this would be called "holding." You hold out until you get a better offer. So far, our strategy of holding has worked out. Prior to us holding out, we were offered nothing multiple times. Each time we demanded reparations, we were told “no.” However, we refused to accep

Controlling Your Outcome through Business Acumen

Image
It’s been a while since I’ve shared a post on here saying anything about what I have going on. However, I want to share a little bit about a situation that I have going on. Last month, I cut my hours in half because I was considering leaving my job and going somewhere else. I felt that my job was taking us for granted and treating us poorly. All we heard were gripes about us underperforming. So, I began searching elsewhere. I quickly found another company that pays just as much as I currently earn. Moreover, I’d control my schedule. So, I built a strong hand to leverage. I, initially, intended to drop my current company the 1st day of training at the new company. However, my trainer advised that I try it out first to ensure that I was comfortable with the role. Furthermore, while I was in training at my new job, I had a discussion with my supervisor at my current job and negotiated terms of service that would convince me to stay; I hinted at the leverage that I had. I called for ba

Be My Tool

Right now, America is in a state of political unrest. ADOS is loud and rampant. Members are showing up and disrupting events. These actions are cultivating our messages to the main stage—rather the dominant society likes it or not. This political unrest is necessary to ensure our empowerment. Now, I’m going to point to something that Professor Black Truth (PBT) said in a video. He mentioned having one of ours run as a candidate. Now, unfortunately, we don’t have anyone to do that. However, we have a member of the dominant society that has whistled to us that she’s okay with isolating herself from her community. Of course, she’ll need some guidance. However, currently, she’s our best prospect for forwarding our message on the political stage. Now, truthfully, it’s highly unlikely that she’ll win. She’ll probably lose by a landslide. However, this is the long game. We’re in this for the long haul. Every next step will get us further to our objective. Like PBT said, the 1st candidat

The Media’s Influence on Culture

Image
Anyone that reads my posts can tell that I’m an ardent anime fan. So, I’m going to point out something that I’ve peeped in recent animes that’s becoming a norm. I’m noticing a rise in harems in animes that aren’t harems. Examples of these are animes such as “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime,” “The Rising of The Shield Hero,” and “Overlord.” None of these animes are harems. They’re all isekais.  An isekai is an anime about a protagonist that gets transported to another world. Examples of older isekais are series such as “Inuyasha,”  “Fushigi Yugi,” and “Digimon Adventure.” It used to be that harems were a very defined genre. Most harems were mostly slice of life—albeit done in different settings. They’re generally favored by women—ironically. However, the aforementioned series hold more serious tones and are favored more by men. Also, these series are more popular than isekais typically are. Prior to the popularity of Sword Art Online, the last major isekai was “.Hack//Sign

Owning Accountability

Image
The purpose of me making this post is the recent government shutdown that we encountered. The dominant society has placed the blame on Melanese individuals. So, rather than ducking and dodging accountability, I instead accept it. In the Melanoid community, we have a problem with taking liability when it’s viewed negatively. However, we have to get over that. If the dominant society wants to blame us for what President Trump does, then we should readily accept it. I’ll take the blame for that. If anything, this means we're powerful. Powerful people elicit action. So, if the dominant society doesn’t want us to invoke voter nullification again, then they have to give us government set-asides to obtain our vote. We’ve already shown what we're capable of when tested. So, don’t make us do it again. Melanoid people, we have to embrace the power that has been thrust upon us. If the dominant society wants to make us the culprit of all things, then we need to analyze what we’re bei

What Would Happen If Segregation Never Ended?

Before I pretend like I'm the doctor from "Back to The Future," let's talk a little about being forced into giving something to someone. You may be saying, "Hey, what integration did was good because you wouldn't have Black folks working for lucrative companies like Microsoft.” Well, after this post you're going to be like "Wow, I would have never imagined a world where we had the chips in our favor." Anyway, a lot of these companies don't hire Black folks because they want to; they hire them to meet a quota in certain cases. If you start your sentence by saying, "In the company I work for I'm the first Black" you already know what the deal is. When you focus on getting yours, you'll see something amazing happen. Okay, Marty, let's travel back to a time when Black folks had to deal with having to put up with signs that said: "No Coloreds Allowed.” Let's say we time-traveled and we were carrying the book P

Lame to the Game

Alright, in this post I’m going to share with you a story from my past that involves a guy that went against the game and got burnt, badly. This story consists of a man that was a roommate of mine for a few months. This story stems from when I was in the military. At my second base, I started out living on base. After I had reached my three-year mark, I was allowed to move off base. Due to this, a guy that I was friends with—and whom I conversed with about my moving off base—suggested that we be roommates. Considering that we were friends, I decided that this was not a bad idea; it would give both of us a chance to stack our money up, even more. Now, when we went to the rental office to sign our name on the lease, this guy had his girlfriend with him. He had just started dating this female shortly before I was to move off base, so I did not think anything of this. Now, when it came time to sign the lease me and him put our names on the paper. He immediately moved into the apartment

Emotional Maturity or One’s Psychological Age

Image
(I took a lot of liberties in fine-tuning this post because the original poster speaks English as a second language, so he had several grammatical issues. However, I kept the core post. -Derrick Mills) In most countries, one is an adult as soon as one has reached the age of 18. Right? As far as it is about the legal age of being considered adult, which means to be entirely responsible and of legal capacity that’s true. However, on the other side, we all know that there are people whose conduct of behavior when they are 20, 30, 50 or even older, has not reached the state of someone that age, as one would reasonably expect. So, we see when we talk about “maturity” we are dealing with different aspects which must be distinguished very clearly. Different sorts of maturity There are three different sorts of maturity in human beings, which are usually reached at various times during our development: 1. Physical maturity 2. Mental maturity 3. Emotional/psychological maturity Phys

Individual Success, Team Success, and the Black Community

Image
We've individualized success. Listen, nobody is a success who hasn't brought his/her community along with them. The notion of individual success is confused. It was Michael Jordan in the 80s when the Bulls kept losing. I actually think that basketball is a great analogy. You look at the players with the most rings, and it's the players of a particular era of the league, in a particular moment in history, and they weren't even the best players on their team. Sure. There is Bill Russell, but John Havlicek is also high on that list; Wilt Chamberlain isn't even on it . The point is that success and failure are only partially about you. Moreover, individual success amid mass failure is only partial success. I guess the fear is that if you tell people this, they won't try. However, the greater fear is that if you don't tell people this, they end up blaming themselves for not being a Celtic in the 60s. LeBron James, as great as he is, will never be a Tom He

Starter Bitches

Image
Alright, this post is for cats getting into the game. I'm going to talk about choosing starter bitches. Some cats choose any starter bitch, to begin with. Now, I understand that she's a starter bitch. However, even starter bitches have to have some prerequisites. For starters, she has to be attractive. This is a prerequisite. When you get an authentic broad, you're likely not going to deal with a mud-duck. So, why practice your game on a hideous broad? This retards your game. Furthermore, it gets you accustomed to dealing with less. You can't become the prize if you deal with trash. However, for new cats entering the game, don't expect the best of the best, yet. So, you have to start somewhere. Therefore, your starter broad won't be perfect, but she does have to be beautiful. She can have some baggage, though. So, she can have one or two kids. She can have some past psychological trauma. None of that really matters because you're only using her to pract

The Cause of the United States Military Might

Image
As we all know, the United States invests a significant portion of everyone's income into its military. However, this isn't the sole reason why the US is a military powerhouse. To understand why the US is a military Powerhouse one has merely to look at its name,  “United States.” This means that it consists of several states that are united. This is where the US differs from most other countries. Many continents are filled with many countries. North America is primarily filled with four countries. (It also has Central America which consists of smaller countries.) However, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, and the United States are the major countries that make-up North America. South America doesn't have too many countries either. However, the United States is unique. The states--which are about the size of many Eastern-Continents' countries--are united. So, the primary benefit that the United States has is unification and codification. If a country chooses to go to war

Time is Money

Image
Many aspiring entrepreneurs haven’t quite grasped this concept yet because they’re new to the whole idea of controlling their time. So, they undervalue it and allow others to underestimate it. Being an entrepreneur has many advantages, but it also has disadvantages. An advantage is that you’re able to take care of many errands during the day. However, the downside is that you have to remember to save time for making money and looking for other ways to make money. Entrepreneurs have to be innovators to stay ahead of the curve. So, we must always think outside of the box. For people that’ve worked 9 to 5’s, and have observed the many shortcomings of their employers, this is your chance to apply the correct methods to achieve your goals. Entrepreneurial Essentials 1)    No one can be an island unto himself/herself. So, one is going to have to form business connections. So, there’ll be some giving and some taking. Just make sure the relationship is mutually beneficial. 2)    Learn h
