"Former President Barack Obama has a “tough talk” at the Black voters for Harris event in East Liberty. He addressed that Black men have not been as enthused about Harris as during his first run, and he sought to encourage them to join Harris’ movement" Ryan Deto X

A judge in Washington state released a teen one day after his arrest for allegedly stabbing a 65-year-old veteran to death at a home. On Friday, the Renton Police Department said 19-year-old K’Shawn Konscience Jimerson called 911 just after 2 p.m. and told the operator he had stabbed someone and would be standing “outside with the knife.” Jimerson also claimed self-defense during the call, police said. “The 911 caller said that they had stabbed the handyman inside the house,” *** Witnesses told police they heard arguing and then saw Jimerson with a large butcher knife and covered in blood, FOX...

It’s election time again and that means it's time for the Democrats' regular pilgrimage to black communities to remind them of our sad state of affairs where racist evildoers -- Republicans of course -- actively work to keep black people down. And the only hope for relief is by voting for Democrats -- who, by the way, have run the country for 12 of the last 16 years. This race-baiting is disgusting but is what even more disgusting is that large portions of the black community buy into it. Due to the sad state of this country’s K-12 public education...

Tren De Aragua, or TDA, is notorious for their "brutal violence and murder.".. Chicago gang members and ex-convicts are warning of coming violent turf wars with newly arrived Venezuelan migrants who are part of the notorious gang Tren De Aragua, or TDA. Not unlike other cities across the country, Chicago has been inundated with migrants as the border crisis rages on. Since 2022, an estimated 48,000 migrants have come to the city, with the majority of new migrant arrivals hailing from Venezuela. “When the black gangs here get fed up with the illegalities and criminal activities of these migrants or...

Video footage has captured the horrifying moment a man creeped up behind a woman before knocking her unconscious in a viscous broad daylight attack. An unidentified woman fell victim to the violent assault in downtown Dallas on Thursday afternoon in what authorities describe as an apparently 'unprovoked attack.' The incident occurred around 1:15pm at the bustling intersection of Elm Street and Field Street. The video, captured by Security footage from The Drakestone apartments, revealed the terrifying moment the unsuspecting woman was approached by the suspect while she was standing at the corner. A man swiftly approached her from behind and...

Yesterday, I pointed out that while a number of elite colleges and universities had released data on their enrollment after the end of Affirmative Action, Harvard had not. This seemed strange given that a) Harvard was one of two defendants in the case which eventually ended Affirmative Action and b) Harvard said it would release the data after the deadline to commit in May and yet four months later it hadn't done so.Today, Harvard finally released that data and the results do show a decline in black enrollment but also an uptick in Hispanic enrollment.The share of Black students declined...

Since LBJ’s Great Society legislation was passed in 1964, the black community has been a consistent Democrat voting bloc, voting between 90 and 95% Democrat every four or so years. By percentage, this is one of the largest voting blocs of the Democrat party, which has always struck me as counterintuitive, as the plight of the black community generally has deteriorated in the 60-year period since. Black share of home ownership has declined. The education “system” in predominantly black communities is abysmal and getting worse. One-parent households have risen 15% to 73%, resulting in increased drug addiction, alcoholism, and crime....

African American women are the workhorses of the Democrats – consistently demonstrating the strongest loyalty to both the party and its individual candidates, both Black and White. According to a Pew Research report, 95 per cent of Black women voted for Joe Biden in 2020 – roughly the same percentage as supported Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Barack Obama in both 2008 and 2012. Indeed, led by powerhouse African-American former State Representative Stacey Abrams, Black women were crucial in securing Georgia for Biden in 2020, the first time a Democrat had taken the state in nearly 30 years. Four years...

Last week I wrote about the demographic changes in enrollment at MIT this year after the Supreme Court's decision banning affirmative action.The university’s admissions department on Wednesday released its first-year class profile, showing a sharp drop in its Black student population. About 5% of MIT’s incoming class of 2028 is Black, a significant drop from its 13% average in recent years. Latino students make up 11% of the class of 2028, compared to a 15% average in recent years.Since then, three more elite schools have released enrollment data which shows a similar pattern.The percentage of Black students entering Amherst this...

ARAB SLAVE TRADEWhile the Goliath Arab Islamic slave trade was immense and its lingering effects and discrimination are still in various areas:Arab slave trade covers various periods in which a slave trade has been carried out under the auspices of Arab peoples or Arab countries.Such as:- Al-Andalus slave trade.- Barbary slave trade.- Trans-Saharan slave trade.- Indian Ocean slave trade.- Comoros slave trade.- Zanzibar slave trade.- Ottoman slave trade.- Red Sea slave trade. Hentz, James J. (2013). Routledge Handbook of African Security. p.294Unfortunately these racist attitudes were to persist, given slavery's twin legacy, that of Arabism and Islamism. ____Lawson, Edward H....

From the cobalt miners in Africa to the black Americans in the “clean energy” industry, exploitation of black communities and their people remain an integral part of the “green” agenda, especially when you consider it in the context of the Harris-Biden electric vehicle mandates and policies; here’s a report from journalists Amy Scott and Sean McHenry from Marketplace, a division of Minnesota Public Radio (MPR), detailing the current situation:Black workers are paying the price in the the rush to mine cobaltWhether you’re using a cellphone or an electric vehicle, there’s a good chance that the battery inside it contains cobalt...

The suspected gang member who allegedly shot and wounded two NYPD sergeants after robbing a woman on the Lower East Side this week showed no remorse — giving the middle finger to cops while sitting in his holding cell. *** The barefoot suspect is dressed in dirty gray sweatpants and a matching hoodie. He appeared in court wearing a t-shirt and pajama pants emblazoned with the “I Love NY” logo. “That’s probably a ‘f–k you’ to the detectives,” a veteran NYPD officer said of the photo. “He’s known in the 5th Precinct. He’s been a nuisance in that precinct. I’m...

A pair of black female activists, [Cora Masters Barry; Melanie Campbell] who have met with Vice President Harris several times and previously vowed to get “real serious” about helping her become the next president, could alienate some of the “White women for Kamala” supporters with their past rhetoric as they mobilize ahead of November’s election. *** However, the unearthed comments from the two activists could cause some internal tension for the Harris campaign as they look to mobilize different voting blocs and have called for “Unity.” “[Trump] did that, and we’re sitting here talking about the White women. F–k the...

If I wanted to destroy the black community, I would become a democrat. I would feminize black men. I would promote transgenderism & sterilization. I would sponsor crime bills - knowing they would disproportionately impact the black community — to take black fathers away from their children. I would put abortion clinics in the black community & follow in the footsteps of Margaret Sanger. I would push for complete government dependency & make everyone a slave to the system. I would raise taxes to turn black homeowners into renters. I would not clean the streets. I would allow crime to...

As he runs for the White House again, former President Donald Trump is aggressively courting Black voters – a group that for decades has been the bedrock of the Democratic vote. During his Manhattan criminal trial, Trump hosted rallies in New York City neighborhoods that are traditionally heavily Democratic. Madeline Brame said in November she'll vote for Trump, although there was a time in her life where voting for Trump would have been unthinkable. "I was a 45-year loyal Democrat," Brame told NY1. In 2016, Brame did not vote for Trump, but she did in 2020. Navigating the criminal justice...

During an interview on Tuesday for Wednesday’s BET News interview special “Black America Votes: The Biden Interview,” President Joe Biden said that his economic policies haven’t resonated with people “because the Republican Party and the MAGA Republicans have been opposed to it, and they’ve been beating up on it.” And because “it’s just taking time for people to see it. And the other thing is, there’s not been a very good job done about saying, this new billion-dollar bridge going over there is brought to you by Joe Biden.” But some of his policy agenda has “resonated for those who...

“All of us need to renounce language and acts of violence, especially against Black people, especially against Palestinians, especially against Muslims, Jews and anybody else," Cornel West told theGrio.Political leaders quickly condemned what is being investigated as an apparent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump on Saturday evening at a Pennsylvania campaign rally. President Joe Biden said, “There is no place for this type of violence in America,” and was “grateful” Donald Trump, who appeared to be shot or grazed on the ear, “is safe and doing well.” The presumptive 2024 Democratic presidential nominee declared, “Everybody must condemn...
