Time Magazine released a provocative yearbook picture of Justin Trudeau, the current Prime Minister of Canada. It was taken at a costume party for teachers college, in Vancouver. He dressed up as Aladdin...
I read this post a while back, Why People of Color Need Spaces Without White People. I thought it'd be crucial to reiterate and double down on the need for Black people of melanated Afrikan and descent to organize, collaborate and study together on a regular basis. It may look like I'm piggy backing off this article but I've spoken about the blueprint for these concepts when I first started my blog, in what feels like an ancient time. The Pan-Africanist at the most basic level. In my experience,...
I initially read the headline "LGBTQ Community refuse to support Sandra Bland Documentary " and thought this was a white LGBTQ movement coming against Sandra Bland's documentary. I nearly jumped the gun, with guns a blazing. Digging into the situation, it doesn't have anything to do with wypipo at all. Therefore this calls for a more complex and sensitive writing piece. Black LGBTQ have sentiments towards an old video, where Sandra Bland gave her thoughts on a law trying to be passed by Christians against the LGBTQ. This is...
I don't live in Chicago and don't want to come off as some expert of the Windy City. However, I've been noticing recent rhetoric from plenty of people about the ongoing situation in Chicago. Rhetoric that's in the right place but I feel like it's a bit misguided because the complexity of the situation is not fully overstood. The biggest platform I've seen so far was Boyce Watkins channel, one of my favorite channels. There are old videos going around of wypipo imitating Black people to commit crimes with...
Toronto Police conducted another ineffective gang raid, the next step in a continuum of insanity and redundancy. 75 people arrested, 78 guns, 1.2 million in product seized and over 1000 charges. Almost a triple triple for the press...
Starbucks exposed what our problem really is and it's our inability to sacrifice our comfort for the greater cause. It's our love for current aspects of the system that is holding us back and we will continue to be disrespected until we stop begging companies that we can't let go of to fix their own problems. This time it was for coffee...
Stephon Clark will be a special placement on that long list of names...
This is the topic everybody loves to hate but whatever your thoughts are on the subject, I only care about preserving Blackness first. This piece is as real as it gets, it will require open mindedness, a touch of patience and strong mental fortitude to continue. If you catch feelings or your emotions become to fragile to continue reading….. Naturally, heterosexuals have always been the majority in society. LGBTQ peoples are produced from heterosexuals and never the other way around, so logically, remaining the majority is guaranteed. I know...

"Now I have seen that some of you fear to go forward to fight for our King. If it were in the brave days of Osei Tutu, Okomfo Anokye, and Opolu Ware, leaders would not sit down to see their King taken away without firing a shot. No white man could have dared to speak to a leader of the Ashanti in the way the Governor spoke to you this morning. Is it true that the bravery of the Ashanti is no more? I cannot believe it. It cannot be! I must say this, if...
