209. Will Kamala's VP pick be a DEI or affirmative action hire? 5:56

21d ago5:56

5:56

There has been such disrespect towards VP Harris in calling her a DEI hire. If people want to play that route, will the pick for Vice President be called a "DEI hire" as well? The notion put out is that she has to pick a White, sis-gendered Christian male because America may not be ready for an all female ticket like Harris/Whitmer or a gay VP like…

208. Biden out and endorses Kamala. Will Dr. King be right about White moderates and liberals? 9:06

22d ago9:06

9:06

Dr. King said that White moderates (I'll add liberals) often tell Black people to wait for freedom; that they believe in freedom on an installment plan. This is how I see what has been happening with democratic politicians who said President Biden should drop out but wouldn't openly endorse Vice President Kamala Harris. It would be a tragic error i…

206. Trump assassination attempt: only republicans call for political violence 8:20

1M ago8:20

8:20

The media should not create a “both sides” argument about calming down political rhetoric about violence. The fact of the matter is that the republicans are the party that often call for violence and #trump is the #1 proponent of it. That does not condone what happen because it is wrong. The media has to be accurate if it is really interested in un…

15:17

The response to Biden's performance and what should happen thereafter is absolutely ridiculous! These democrats and so-called defenders of democracy had a poorer performance than Biden and their lack of objectivity is astounding.

Jay-Z has a strong history of philanthropy to the Black community nationally and internationally. My hope is that he will realize that this program is not inline with what he has traditionally invested in regarding the Black community.

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker gave a MAGA speech. The media has handpicked certain lines but should do a better job of dissecting this Trumpian speech. I dissect it below.

LSU coach Kim Mulkey was right to challenge the sexism in the Los Angeles Times article by Ben Bosch. She did not, however, speak to the racism of the comments in the article.
