X-Men movies all have the same plot: the humans hate mutants and wish to wipe them out, the mutants have the power to crush the humans...but Professor X is determined to get the humans to love and accept the mutants. The Professor is nuts, not Magneto.

Civil rights marches are dead. Seriously, don't do that no more. At one point marches were considered bold, cutting edge, and absolutely dangerous. That appeals to young people. They aren't any of those things now, so no, young people don't care. 

Were Africans here before Columbus? Possibly, but some of the ahistorical, crazy BS just needs to stop. It's a distraction and just plain dangerous. 

Caleb Wilson, 20, of Kenner, La., was a junior at Southern University majoring in mechanical engineering and a proud member of the Human Jukebox, the school’s marching band. He's now dead, allegedly a result of fraternity hazing. Let's talk about that Greek life...

DEI and Target fasts: that's where we are in 2025. It all signals that white people have officially won, and Black folks have completely waved the white flag on the idea of self determination.

Nonviolent passive resistance characterized much of the movement but such a tactic-- or way of life --has serious limitations and present consequences. The Civil Rights Movement ultimately failed to reach its full potential due to the blind commitment many held for it.

Billionaires get everything they want from Congress depsite the fact that no billionaires serve in Congress. Perhaps representation isn't as important as we've been led to think.

Yea...I was a bit sloppy and need to clear Dr. King's good name. 

The Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, led by Fannie Lou Hamer, Ella Baker, Bob Moses and many others, was a radical experiment to reform democracy. But white power beat back their efforts at reform and ultimately, the movement was absorbed by the system.

Operation Breadbasket was a program that showed great promise for Black economics. Jesse Jackson did amazing things through the program in Chicago, which Dr. King wanted replicated nationally, but it never happened.

There is no historical parallel for the task Black people in America faced: rising up from the shackles of slavery while living under the gun of their opressors as a minority. Colonizers in other places in the world generally left, for the most part, but Black people in America had a different road to travel and we need to appreciate that. 

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is regarded as a saintly, inerrant figure. But is his elevation artificial? The white press and broader white validation have a lot to do with his place in history and in the American psyche. Ultimately, Dr. King's elevation is a win for white people.

Rita Bender, a white woman, is one of the greatest Americans to ever live. Here's a small tidbit about her.  

The Poor People's Campaign was Dr. King's last thrust to right America's wrongs but it was probably a mistake.

Are you down with Kamala or Trump? Donnie Swaggart caught heat for his criticism of the Black church, the root of which was the Black church's support of Kamala Harris. But the Black church, for all the good it has done, is not a prophetic voice one need respect anymore. The white church has no moral authority to critique it, but I do.

We have been duped into believing that Black progress doesn't require sacrifice and yes, suffering. This fantasy. Every inch of Black progress has been through pain and sacrifice and unless we cope with that today, our progress is effectively over.

Black businesses have always been targets of terror. Black people had few defenses for it earlier and as terror has evolved, Black leaders and organizations have failed to keep up with it.
