@GryKngBlakState Meant this from the place where the ancestors meet my spirit. I still believe in the Power of the Moat High to bring us collectively to an expected good end. I try to support but it’s usually when you don’t know I’m there. Please keep doing what you do.
I’m convinced that the reason some leading Blacks (ala Dr. Julia Hare) have the Black community on lock is because too many factions exists that are in opposition to them. Here’s an example, for many years the reparations community has been splintered for various reasons. However, some leaders believe in a “both and” approach to our liberation. @GryKngBlakState carved out a viable approach to achieving not only reparations but also liberation. One of the states he identified was Mississippi. This is based on sound research and not a desire to be seen and heard but actually doing the work and doing it in the spirit of power and excellence. Thank you brother Gry!
A newly filed lawsuit alleges that prominent St. Louis attorney Jim Onder mocked Black people and orchestrated a campaign to discredit Ferguson after city leaders rejected tax breaks for his proposed data center.
According to the lawsuit, Onder allegedly sought to spread misleading stories about crime, create fake social media comments and pressure Ferguson officials into reversing their decision.
The lawsuit also includes allegations of sexual harassment and retaliation against a former employee who says she refused to participate in the campaign.
Onder's office did not immediately respond to The St. Louis American's request for comment. The allegations have not been proven in court.

New: A vet who couldn’t get cancer treatment. Another unable to get surgery for a burst appendix. Trump officials claim their VA overhaul hasn’t harmed veterans, but our reporting in New Jersey reveals a healthcare system stretched thin and falling short. https://t.co/P6IuXzgvUU
Well, first of all that's really what they want, for all Black Americans to leave. Second, wisdom plans in silence and is never loud. Three, our ancestors bled and died here too and we shouldn't cede our place as descendants to anyone. But, I do agree that the south is better for us.
As one who grew up on that side of the Bronx, knowing the demographics then and now, the hateful vitriol being hurled at Black Americans is based in hatred towards us. The majority of residents near where Javits was murdered are African immigrants, Caribbean and Dominicans. His murder has been used to push further diaspora wars and cheap shots at the very people whose ancestors made it possible for them to be here. Nasty work.
Shout out to Carl from Harlem for his call into the Karen Hunter show yesterday and raising the name of Susan Glass-Smith. He attempted to raise the issues we raised to Pres. Obama such as reparations, it was poo-pooed. When he mentioned immigration all of a sudden we're single issue voters. You can't make this stuff up. He went on to talk about how the Bronx DA and NYS Atty. General work hard to keep Black men behind bars(not verified by me) but they fight for illegal immigrants (facts) in NY. I like Karen's show but there's still a level of gatekeeping for the main Democratic Party talking points. Paying attention.
In a time when it’s difficult to get 50-100 men to gather for anything not entertainment/sports related, people are mad with IUIC for showing up and denouncing Black on Black crime (if you pay attention to their chants) at a rally for Javitz Frimpong. Weird behavior.
An Ole Miss student says her Ring doorbell camera caught three classmates making monkey noises outside her apartment door. Jakiyra Metcalf posted the footage to TikTok Friday night, tagged the university and asked, “what do we have to say about this??” She later revealed the women are her upstairs neighbors.
