@ArtOfDialogue_ Every time we point it out even our Allies interrupt us to tell us we are wrong. It's not hate. It's indifference. No, it's hate. #theynotlikeus
@B1TuckerCarlson They do this because they can. They will weaponize the police against Black people. Black people we must learn the right wording to use when calling the police. Use their words. Your life is in danger. You are UNARMED and afraid because they are attacking
‼️ Since GiveSendGo and CEO @jacobawells refuses to take down Shiloh Sanders’ ILLEGAL fundraiser—despite her calling a Black child the N-word—people are now turning to this method.
QUESTION 🙋🏽♂️: IS THIS A GOOD APPROACH?
PUBLIC UPDATE
Following my public exposure of a vile racist voicemail left at my church by Gary Porter—an employee of Caris Life Sciences—who defended a white woman’s use of a racial slur against a 5-year-old Black autistic child, I was contacted by Dr. David Spetzler, President of Caris Life Sciences. He assured me that such hateful conduct does not align with the values of his company.
I was informed by Dr. Spetzler that Gary Porter is no longer associated with Caris Life Sciences.
This action cannot undo the deep harm caused by Mr. Porter’s vile words—words that sought to minimize anti-Black racism, justify verbal abuse of a child, and demean those of us who speak out against such injustice. But this is a necessary and appropriate step toward accountability. It is a clear acknowledgment that hate speech has no place in a company that claims to value diversity, dignity, or humanity.
When a Black child is the target of racial slurs and a Black pastor receives hate-filled messages for standing up for that child, we are reminded that racism is not merely a thing of the past—it is active, aggressive, and often protected by silence. That silence must be broken.
I commend Caris Life Sciences for responding swiftly. But this must be more than damage control. It must be a demonstration of conviction. Companies have a responsibility not just to denounce hate when exposed, but to cultivate cultures where racism is confronted proactively—not reactively. Racism cannot be managed—it must be dismantled.
To the community: let this serve as a reminder that when we speak truth to power, even in the face of venomous resistance, we are not alone. And to the Gary Porters of the world: we will not be silenced. We will defend our children. We will protect our pulpits. And we will continue to expose the rot of racism wherever it hides.

White males make up 31% of the country and account for 70% of all crime in America
Statistically, White criminals pose a greater threat to American citizens than Black criminals.
Garry Porter is a 66 year-old white man who lives in Glendale, Arizona. He is the engineering director at Caris Life Sciences @carisls.
He was upset that I condemned racists for donating $700,000 to Shiloh Hendrix, who called an autistic five-year-old Black boy a ni88er, so he left a voicemail at my church.
In his voicemail, he referred to the Black autistic child and other Black people as “Black negroes,” distorted what happened, which we can clearly see the viral video, relegated the vitriolic, racist, epithet as “just a word.” he then referred to black people as “clowns” who “use it everyday” to justify Hendrix calling the child a ni88er.
He closed his vitriolic, racist message by telling me to “shut up“ and to preach to the “fools that listen” to my “crap” and “leave the country alone.”
He closed out his diatribe by disrespectfully calling me “fat boy.“
Gary, make no mistake about it, I am a full grown Black MAN and neither you nor any other bigot can shut me up or make me leave the country that my ancestors built.
America won’t pay reparations to innocent Black survivors of white mob violence, but will compensate the family of a criminal anarchist.
Last year, America dismissed a legal bid for reparations by Viola Fletcher, 110, Lessie Benningfield Randle, 109, and Hughes Van Ellis, 102, survivors of one of the biggest race massacres in US history. The three survived the Tulsa race massacre in 1921 when a violent, angry, white mob murdered 1000 Black Americans and destroyed the Greenwood neighborhood of Tulsa.
Last week, the Trump administration agreed to pay $30 million in reparations to the family of violent, criminal, rioter, Ashli Babbitt. Babbitt was fatally shot in the commission of a crime, after breaking into the US Capitol. She was attempting to climb through the broken window of a barricaded door leading to the Speaker’s Lobby inside the Capitol, where police officers were evacuating members of Congress from a violent mob supporting Trump’s false claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.
White supremacy is the ideology of cowards, who historically and strategically target the most vulnerable among us: our women and our children. They lack the courage to confront real Black masculine power, so when a conscious, fearless Black man stands firm and unshaken, they retreat, and revert to victimhood.
Watch how this coward devil invoke the police, because he knows law enforcement has long been the loyal arm of white supremacy.
The days of fear are over. And we stand ready, militant, and organized for whatever.
Salute to this warrior brother. If you see a Black woman under threat, you don’t hesitate. You move with purpose. You stand up and stand in. It’s the code of real Black men.
We don’t watch. We don’t film. We intervene. Every time.
To all my Men, the fellows the homies. We're better than this! Where we are, who we are, the things we do & say. We're better than this. We should be so much farther than we are right now. Let's make a conscious decision to change for the better today. Let's do this. #CoachPrime
