(Potential) White Extremists Hiding in Plain Sight

Image
I’m going to preface this post by saying that my conjecture is purely speculative. I don’t have any solid proof to substantiate my inclinations. I’m merely scrutinizing what I see. There are pages out here dedicated to tactical training for survival. However, if you check out these pages, they’re receiving specialized military training that exceeds the police force—or even regular military police officers. One has to ask the question, why does one need this type of training if one is merely a civilian. What are you training—to this extent—for? In 2005, Hurricane Katrina flooded the Black part of New Orleans. At least, this is what’s reported. However, the flooding that took hold of those areas is the result of the levies being destroyed. This redirected the water to Black regions. Initially, the White regions were going to be flooded. Furthermore, before the rescue teams being sent, many residents reported militants opening gunfire on the panic-stricken residents. Many resi

The Trojan Horse

Image
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

Unionization is a Must for ADOS

Image
I decided to make this post after considering the financial condition of ADOS’ members. It’s no secret that Black people are the last hired, first fired. Also, everyone knows that we have to work twice as hard for less pay. Finally, if one looks critically at any corporation in a predominately Black area with predominately Black employees, everyone knows that Black people are at the bottom. Now, one might say since they’re the majority, of course, they’d fill the bottom. Furthermore, anyone saying that is correct. However, since this is true, shouldn’t they also fill the top? Of course, we know that although White people in this scenario are the minority, they’re the majority at the top. Furthermore, as the economic structure of America becomes more and more fractured, workers’ grievances are only heightening. Unfortunately, as these grievances worsen, ADOS’ grievances will lead the pack. Nowadays, companies pay their employees as little as possible. When one couples this with th

In my post, “ …Or Else ” I talked about destabilizing the internal workings of the country if ADOS doesn’t get its reparations. Now, it’s time to spotlight that. I’m going to list examples of the descent of America thanks to ADOS. The examples of the destabilization traverse many fields. At one point, MSNBC’s Joy Reid tried to downplay the significance of ADOS men by saying only Black women’s votes matter . Of course, everyone knows that’s a failing strategy from the start. However, it becomes even more disastrous when those votes disappear too. Hardened racists like Joe Biden have recanted their words after facing the backlash of their words, i.e. Biden’s Law. There has even been a travel advisory issued by the international community regarding the influx of mass shootings in America. Who do you think has brought this issue to the forefront? The mainstream media sure is under-reporting this and attempting to put a spin on this. However, ADOS content-creators have spotlighted this

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

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 Obama Effect

Image
Right now, the American Descendants of Slaves (ADOS) Movement is moving forward at full throttle. Democrats are scratching their heads like where did this come from. This all originated from President Obama's intentional neglect of the circumstances of the Black community—especially Black men. President Obama did something for everyone except Black men. Furthermore, despite President Obama being a Black man himself, he increased the status for all other "minorities" except Black people. His benign neglect policies--along with centuries of neglect--are what has triggered the intensity of this movement. Furthermore, Democrats promoting politicians that will speak for everyone else's interests, except Black people's, further fueled the passion of the ADOS Movement. President Trump being in office simply encouraged White supremacists to be more open with their racism. This has caused even the most ignorant of Black people to wake up to the racist environment that

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?

Image
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

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

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

Never Ask for Things that you should be Given, Command Them

Image
This post goes out to all of the Aboriginal people in the diaspora. Many of us have a terrible knack for asking for things that should be given to us. I don't know when, but a long time ago, I broke that cycle.  For the longest, I haven't asked for things that should be given to me. I merely talk as if these things are already a given. Now, I'm going to give an example of a business negotiation that resulted in my company changing its compensation policy--at least for me. My company has a policy regarding its life insurance policies. It compensates the insurance agents via production-credits. The insurance agents get the production-credits--while the financial specialist receives the compensation. It doesn't matter if the insurance agent is licensed in life insurance as well. Now, how many aborigine people would take this policy as is? However, my personal constitution doesn't allow me to let people screw me out of money. So, whenever I'm presented a fishy d

WNBA: Wage Gap Problem

Image
Currently, a hot issue is the wage gap in the WNBA. These women have a right to be upset due to how low their wages are--compared to their male counterparts. However, their grievance shouldn't be with their male colleagues. Furthermore, they shouldn't look for the men to stand in solidarity with them. How often do we see women stand in solidarity with men--in regards to men's issues? Furthermore, the men of the NBA aren’t the ones that write their checks. That's the main reason why their grievance shouldn't be with the NBA players. Their issue should be with the WNBA owners that are underpaying them. However, taking to social media to voice their grievances isn't going to solve their wage gap concerns. This country was founded on slavery. Furthermore, throughout this country's existence, it has been plagued with having to combat labor unions. So, it's fair to say that this country doesn't believe in honest pay for an honest day's work. Unle
