  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

  • Punching Above Our Weight
    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

  • Living in a Black No-Man's Land
    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that.

~ YOU HAVE TO KICK ASS TO GET RESPECT~

If Black Americans are addicted to breathing then it is very final because we are in the end game of the struggle where winner takes all, you lose you pay with your life. Without funding black America is defeated for lack and inability to sustain life by way of food, shelter, clothing and transportation.

It is final but it isn't over because they print money everyday and when it comes to not having any money the line starts to the right. The challenge is to strategy a plan based on sound, solid, competent and overwhelming intelligence that attracts the money they print everyday... our way.

Reading and writing is how that is done. The funding is right before our eyes and within our reach. We just have to be intelligent enough to make it ours. The 21st century belongs to readers, writers and producers.

Readers, writers and producers are the people and entities with the money and to attract some of that money our way requires critical thinking that out thinks our adversary.The funding is available but the people with the money that make the money is not giving the money away but... if we are smart enough to attract it away from them then they will give us the money because by outthinking them we have won and earned their respect.

The point is:
If Black America wants funding we have to kick ass to get it. Intelligence is the weapon of choice. Reading, writing and empirical wisdom is how we get there. On my block we call that Undercover Smart.
