Who Determined Black People Resemble Monkeys?
Nevertheless, it got me thinking: where did the black person/monkey/ape stereotype come from? I've seen and heard plenty of white people get called "mayo monkeys". George W. Bush was portrayed as a monkey by the media, including in the animated series Family Guy. So why does the stereotype stick to black people?
4 Things This Monday: Why Chelsea Handler's Racism Matters, More Black Children Will Fall Behind, "Free" Education, Drake Is Kinda White
We do not need limousine liberals like Handler telling us how to vote because of HER perception of Black people or opinions of Trump. (While we’re at it, we do not need Joe Biden telling us how to vote because of our skin pigment.) So Handler can save her virtue signaling for another group of suckers.
Sage Steele Is Not Black Enough For Black America. So Who Is?
Sage Steele, a proud biracial American who grew up with a military background and works for anti-American ESPN, claims to have been kept off of an ESPN primetime special The Undefeated Presents Time for Change: We Won’t Be Defeated that aired on June 24th.
Thank You Jussie Smollett. Now Young People Think It's Okay to Manufacture Racism
Ever since D-Level actor Jussie Smollett falsely claimed that two white men physically assaulted him, doused him in bleach, tied a rope around his neck, all while using racial slurs (it sounds even more ridiculous now than it did back then), there has been an increase in phony racial incidents.
Why Are White People Pointing Out Things Black People Should Know Already?
There are issues us Blacks are (or should be) fully aware of, but perhaps we cannot see the forest for the trees. Sometimes it takes an outsider to point out the obvious to us. Example number one is Piers Morgan.
The Subtle Art of Corporate Window Dressing
“Philanthropy is the future of marketing, it’s the way brands are going to win”. So, is the renewed interest that companies are showing for the black community legitimate signs that they, too, want social reform, or is it just the innovation of marketing?
African-Americans, Police Brutality, and Violence: Just The Facts
Fox Sports radio host and founder of Outkick the Coverage Clay Travis has been one of the few rational voices resonating throughout the country recently. At the start of his Fox Sports radio show Outkick the Coverage on June 1, 2020, he states, with a stern diplomatic demeanor, that "We are all entitled to our own opinions, but we are not entitled to our own facts".
Where Are They Now?
First Minneapolis. Then Chicago. Then New York City. Then Baltimore, Detroit, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., San Jose, Nashville, San Francisco, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Atlanta, Columbus, Reno, Louisville, Las Vegas, Brooklyn. Rioters engage in a violent game of tit for tat with police officers. Bricks and stones thrown from one side, as pepper spray and rubber bullets projected from the other side.
Black Celebrities Cannot Serve Two Masters
Lizzo, and many others like her, gets pulled into the Twitter-fueled ideology that she must speak out against injustice. She is trying to stand up for the Black culture while she sings and dances for (and gets paid by) the White culture.
Emotion Improves Nothing
POTUS Donald Trump elicits a gamut of emotional outbursts from the nation, seemingly on a daily basis. Yet, during a time when it would be more beneficial to unify, race relations have gotten worse. So have our emotional responses. Case and point, the killing of Ahmaud Arbery.
