... "In just a few hours, though, my heart had fallen harder and faster than I can remember. Like all of you, I watched as a gang -- organized, violent, and mad they'd lost an election -- laid siege to the United States Capitol," she added. "They set up gallows. They proudly waved the traitorous flag of the Confederacy through the halls. They desecrated the center of American government." "Once authorities finally gained control of the situation, these rioters and gang members were led out of the building not in handcuffs, but free to carry on with their days," Obama...

According to the Smith County Sheriff's Office, the shooting took place at Starrville Methodist Church, located on Farm-to-Market Road 16 in Winona.

Blacks are 60 percent less likely than other racial groups to say they will definitely or probably take the COVID-19 vaccine. Here are recommendations for how America should address this gap to properly ensure that the group hardest hit by COVID-19 gets the vaccine they so desperately deserve and need.Acknowledge that medical distrust is rationalBlacks have less trust in medical research, scientists and doctors than other racial groups. This is a rational response that needs to continue to be acknowledged. Knowledge about the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, where 400 Black male farmers were untreated after contracting syphilis, has a direct impact...

<p>Black Twitter has been beside itself all week. Chet Hanks went full Jafaican on Clubhouse, and then Obama (un)surprisingly denounced “defund the police.” But the uproar started when video footage of a Dallas restaurateur berating customers about twerking in his establishment went public.</p>

Vote reparations would empower us to replace oppressive institutions with life-affirming structures of equality.Black votes in this country are worth less than white votes. Joe Biden won the Electoral College because Black voters in Atlanta, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Philadelphia turned out in significant numbers. But even with overwhelming Black support—94 percent of Detroit voted for Biden!—the outcomes in Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania were worryingly close.One core problem is the Electoral College. Wyoming, which has just 580,000 residents and is 93 percent white, gets three electors because of its two senators and one representative in the House. By comparison, Georgia’s...

Now that Black Lives Matter activists have served out their useful purpose for Democrats – energizing Black and White liberals voters to turn out for Joe Biden – they have apparently been dumped by the president-elect. Patrisse Cullors, a co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement, sent Joe Biden and Kamala Harris a letter shortly after the election, requesting a meeting. She argued, “Without the resounding support of Black people, we would be saddled with a very different electoral outcome. In short, Black people won this election.”

Black holes are regions of infinite density, known as a singularity. And according to mainstream physics, each of these cosmic matter munchers is fringed by an event horizon –- a boundary where once you fall in, you never come out. But what if some black holes are naked — completely lacking such frontiers? As far as we can tell, singularities are always wrapped in event horizons, but a more detailed look at the math of general relativity suggests that doesn't have to be the case. If such naked black holes dot the universe, new research reveals how we might be...

WASHINGTON - A subpoena seeking documents from Hunter Biden asked for information related to more than two dozen entities, including Ukraine gas company Burisma, according to a person familiar with a Justice Department tax investigation of President-elect Joe Biden’s son. The breadth of the subpoena, issued Tuesday, underscores the wide-angle lens prosecutors are taking as they examine the younger Biden’s finances and international business ventures. In addition to the Burisma-related request, the subpoena issued last week also seeks information on Hunter Biden’s Chinese business dealings and other financial transactions. The probe was launched in 2018, the year before his father...

(CNN)Dr. Anthony Fauci is urging Black Americans hesitant to take the Covid-19 vaccine to trust the process -- in part because one of the scientists at the forefront of the vaccine's development is a Black woman. The nation's top infectious disease expert, speaking at an event hosted by the National Urban League on Tuesday, said it was important to acknowledge the US history of racism in medical research and understand how that has fostered mistrust among some Black people.

Michigan Democrat Cynthia "Ru Paul" Johnson Attacks Trump Supporters

Yes, really. The complaint was prompted by a university study surround issues affecting Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) staff and faculty. Citing concerns of black people, the report noted that there were “linguistic concerns about Black being associated with negative expressions” such as “blackmail” and “black sheep.” After the report labeled the use of words which included “black” as “divisive and not inclusive,” the university’s student union demanded that “any other use of the word ‘black’ as an adjective to express negative connotations” should be banned in research papers, lecture slides, and books published by professors. Students claimed that...

In the aftermath of black conservative former NFL player Burgess Owens getting elected to Congress in Utah (where Mia Love lost narrowly in 2018), CNN host Erin Burnett was apparently so alarmed by his criticisms of the far-left Black Lives Matter movement that she gave House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn an unchallenged forum to accuse the Utah Republican of historical ignorance. Concluding Erin Burnett Outfront on Wednesday evening, the CNN host noted that Republicans had gained seats in the House of Representatives and brought up the win by Owens and his political message: Then came a couple of soundbites of...

Two anti-abortion groups on Wednesday filed a lawsuit against Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser, in response to an August incident in which police arrested activists for writing "Black Pre-Born Lives Matter" outside a Planned Parenthood clinic.

Bloomberg News has a new “scoop” up quoting anonymous Biden advisers who are deeply worried about the campaign GOTV effort aimed at Black and Hispanic voters:

The media has, in one way or another, been forced to cover the surge in support for President Trump among black Americans. He has worked to improve their lives through Opportunity Zones, funding of historically black colleges and universities, criminal justice reform, and most recently, with his second term agenda for the economic empowerment of black Americans called the Platinum Plan.

The Republican Party is hoping to build its ranks of Black lawmakers in the House, with one candidate expected to win in a safe GOP district and a handful of others in competitive races, following the planned retirement of its sole current Black member. Republicans made increasing diversity among their ranks a priority this election cycle. Sixty-four Black GOP candidates ran for the House this fall, with about half making it to the general election, according to a senior Republican aide. The Republicans’ best bet in the House is Byron Donalds, a Naples, Fla.-based state lawmaker who has aligned himself...

On Saturday hundreds of black Donald Trump supporters marched in the Freedom Rally and March in Washington DC. It was a major blow to the “Trump is a racist” lie.

When Kanye West tweeted, "I love the way Candace Owens thinks" in 2018, he was maligned by much of the mainstream media. He also got a lot of young, politically minded Black men and women curious enough to delve into the controversy, and some liked what they discovered. Owens then teamed with Turning Point USA .. a conservative organization founded in 2012 by Charlie Kirk, to help launch the Young Black Leadership Summit where 400 Black youngsters gathered with President Donald Trump at the White House last year. Owens now heads Blexit, a group that encourages Blacks to ditch their...

No thanks to Kamala Harris. Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism. Most bakeries kill people with fattening sugary sweets. Your Black Muslim Bakery was a health food bakery with no sugar, fats or food coloring according to the guidance of the Koran. It had other ways of killing people. Since Your Black Muslim Bakery opened in the sixties it has not only racked up a bigger body count than most bakeries, but could give a decent Mexican cartel a run for its...

Despite all the fury on social media about the fly on Mike Pence’s head and Kamala Harris’ demeanor, analysts say the vice presidential debate is unlikely to alter the state of the presidential race. Yet the attacks on Harris afterward were particularly harsh. The comments during and after Wednesday’s debate were full of complaints that the Democratic vice presidential candidate was too snarky, catty, and had an annoying voice. Many took issue with her facial expressions. **SNIP** After talking to 15 undecided voters from eight swing states on debate night, political consultant and pollster Frank Luntz told Fox News that...
