Sadly, members of the Black elite have promoted the continued militarized occupation of police in Black communities and have stood in the way of change.

As pot legalization has become a reality in a number of states, exploring how the Black community should benefit from cannabis is timely, considering that marijuana laws have criminalized the Black community for years and helped fuel mass incarceration.

The question is whether marijuana legalization and taxation could become an economic development pathway for Black people, in the manner that Native American nations are making it work for them.

Other nations such as Germany, Belgium and Canada have undergone reconciliation to tackle their colonial and genocidal atrocities.

Hide the evidence of the crime, and you silence the calls for justice and reparations or at least make the best effort to shut it down.

Black Wall Street is not the end of the story, but rather is the tip of the iceberg. Before, during and after Tulsa, lynchings and racial violence were taking place across the country.

what is the point of having Black fashion accessories to spice up and color up white spaces, when they do not fundamentally change systems that oppress us, and they do not bring other Black people up with them?

Trump is a reminder that a racist man with a low mentality and no accomplishments beyond his inheritance can use the media to manufacture an image of a successful real estate mogul and titan of business, when in reality he was a two-bit hustler and a crook.

racial justice activism was dangerous, risky, life-threatening work when you were trying to change society and crazy angry white men were rolling up on you with guns and Lord knows what else.
