This book is one I read a while back, when it was still out of print. I had to buy it used via the Internet, and a small, ratty, chewed-up, faded, yellow, torn copy of it ran me $50, and you know what; I still consider it one of the best bargains I've ever gotten, even though I finished it in a single night, mostly because it was so good I couldn’t help reading it in one sitting. The premise of this book is truly insane. Richard and Christina Milner were husband and wife, and both were students in the graduate program for Anthropology at UC Berkeley. For their doctoral dissertation, they wanted to do something different than the usual. At the time it was all about going to “exotic” locales like New Guinea, East Africa, Southeast Asia, and etc.; they decided that there was no need to travel so far when the ghetto areas of America’s cities had such a rich, fascinating culture that was just as foreign to a White academic as any of the other distant cultures anthropologists typica

This is a philosophy that I adopted from someone else years ago, “Never side with another group against your own.”. As a matter of fact, a variation of this quote is used in the film The Godfather. Michael Corleone says this to Fredo when Fredo defends Moe Greene for smacking him. This is something that the dominant society does when it comes to us; they never side against their own on behalf of us. If one of their own wrongs us then they go silent, deflect or play dumb, and wander off into another direction; if one of ours wrongs theirs, then they go on the attack. Due to this, I suggest that Melanoid people mirror this code; if one of ours wrongs theirs then go silent, play dumb, or deflect; if one of theirs harms ours then go on the attack. The fact that we are in the midst of a war means that there is no room for fairness or room to be unbiased; we simply have to pick a side and get coded.

I recall once when I was listening to Tariq’s Ustream where he had a caller, we’ll call her Tamara, called in about a faux-pro-Black coworker. At work, the woman, we’ll call her Jessica, would be loud and boisterous about inequality and White supremacy; this caused Tamara to eventually attempt to pull Jessica’s coattail and let her know that, although she agrees with what Jessica is saying, Jessica is risking jeopardizing her job by speaking the way she is speaking. The moment that Jessica heard this she immediately, behind Tamara’s back, went to their boss, we’ll call their boss Sara, to let Sara know about the conversation they had; Sara in turn pulled Tamara aside to inquire had she really said what she was informed of; Tamara decided to be honest and own up to it, since she really couldn’t lie about it anyway; Tamara did elaborate on why she had agreed with Jessica by citing indisputable facts that would align with Sara possibly being a closet-White supremacist, and Sara at

As a man, one of the keys is that we ‘handle our business’ first and foremost. This starts with holding yourself accountable for your current state. We hear about accountability so much that it has almost become a sort of buzzword, seemingly without any real meaning, but it actually has a vast amount of power.  The premise behind accountability is that YOU have enough power over your actions that you are able to largely determine your lot in life. We, as individuals, may not be the ones who caused our current circumstance in life, but to take an accountable approach is to believe that you don’t have to remain in your present circumstances and can improve your lot in life by hard work and careful considerations. For example, you may not be where you desire to be financially. You can have two approaches. You can sit around and make excuses for yourself and never create any plan to improve yourself, and ultimately remain in your same position or be worse off, or you can accept that you

  A lot of Black people have completely given up and have devolved into savages; others have become straight-up modern day slaves, cooning at levels over 9,000 (pun intended). (You can view more videos from this channel here .) The passivity that Black people are showing nowadays is akin to that of the 1940s and before. One of the leading candidates in leading this passivity is the church house. People are forgiving things they have no business forgiving. All of this is being done in the name of being a good God-fearing person. Now, I haven’t read the Bible beyond what was required for my assignments in graduate school, but what I took from my readings were words of wisdom that equate to attaining dominion over this world. However, going beyond that, another reason for this faux sense of morality stems from Black people’s fear of going to Hell. This picture of Hell that a lot of Black (You can view more of this artist’s photos here .) people have painted is a pi

If there’s ever been a time in our history when the tension has been at its highest, then it could be now. In the midst of our shortcomings, oppression, and our attempts to dig ourselves from hundreds of years of it all, Black Society as a collective might possibly be up against yet a new thorn in our sides, self-righteousness. We’ve seen it time and time again. In spite of our humanity, we as Melanoid people are expecting each other to reach some sort of “moral high ground” that we’ve yet to verify even exists. Granted, this isn’t stated to give the green light to counterproductive and ratchet behavior, but rather to highlight the recent wave of finger pointing that has run rampant throughout Black Society. Sadly enough, we’ve disrespected each other to a level that’s nauseating. If a notable Brother or Sister in Black Society doesn’t necessarily live up to everything that we as individuals prefer them to be, then we are ready to dismiss them with yesterday’s garbage. For ex
