We aren't as hopeless as they make you think. I mean just look at the statistics I quoted. These are not just off the cuff numbers. They are researched from reputable sources. According to those numbers most black men are doing well. It's the minority of them who aren't! I agree with you that...

Consider stool softener. Check with physician also. Ensure it's just hemorrhoids. Make sure you are getting you colonoscopy regularly. Don't forget how we lost brother Chadwick Bozeman!

At some point I came to feel a lot of people in new black media simply have a gig. That gig brings in clicks and views. Those clicks and views bring in dollars. To a point it becomes that it's just a lot of loud angry talk and talking slick. A lot of it is playing on our anger and sympathies...

That very well could be the case. I am not sure how true that stat is. I hear TD HipHop Media quote that "Our median income will be 0 by 2053" quite often. I believe the point should be to not be part of that statistic. We should be aiming for being better off whether we get reparations or not...

I meant to say "I feel that way because in all honesty cash payments aren't realistically going to get passed. That's just the reality."

Personally I don't. Not in the form of cash payments. I mean I'll take it if they give it. It's not a priority for me though. You posted the below: * cash reparations first and foremost, * land + funding for development (especially since land and property were stolen from us, often...

I can get behind all of those things. Especially no taxes for FBA / ADOS / Freedmen people, a Federal Hate Crime Law designed to protect Black people and punish any anti-Black racist attackers/murderers/terrorists/harassers. Those two are pretty difficult to argue against. Racists can't say...

No way he is still free and just walking around the neighborhood around me if this was my child. We'd both be in places that rhyme with L.

Despite all that we as black men have to endure here in America, a majority of us are making it. If you look at the way the media paints it they would have you believe that the majority of us are destitute. While it is true that it is more likely for a black man to end up in a bad situation the...

Police reform isn't a priority to black people. Do a by title s we search on this site for "Police Reform". There are only 3 returns. 2 of them are posts I made which are identical. The second one didn't get a single response. The third is a post by Jay. Then do a search for "reparations"...

Neither party is actually trying to reform the police. This is something that definitely won't happen in either the House of Representatives or in the Senate. Even if something gets passed in the House it won't ever make it through Senate where to get past the filibuster it would need over 60...

Absolutely insane that this can be caught on video/audio and the police responsible aren't fired immediately.

Not every interracial couple comes from a place of hatred. Some it just happened to land that way for them. If you look at some of my other posts on this thread, I mentioned that I have happened to live in areas that had a smaller black population. My first duty station when I was in the...

The thrift stores here are actually pretty good. You find a lot of name brand stuff. Everything from clothing, furniture, and electronics. I bought a really nice computer bag a while back. Retails for around $100 and I got it for $10. It's not a primary shopping spot but I definitely do like...

It hits different when food goes to waste now. We seriously over did it for Christmas and we couldn't finish everything. When I had to toss all that food I almost wanted to cry!

I notice it the most when ordering out. It's noticeable when making grocery too. In that sense you just have to cook a bit more creatively and use foods that fill you up. Unfortunately that require eating more carbs which can be an unhealthy thing. I guess it is what it is though.

Current AHA recommendations are 130 or less systolic and 80 or less diastolic. Some physicians still go on the older standard which is less than 140 systolic and less than 90 diastolic. If you are in the 120s and 130s then you are generally okay. Diastolic if you are in the mid 80s then...

It's not at question whether or not this white supremacist terrorist killed the child. If the black child had a gun or there was any evidence of that trust and believe that police would be shouting that at the top of their lungs. So their rationale for not charging is that they are waiting on...

I can't be the only one. Definitely the flyest one though! Are there any other nurses on the platform?

Also avoid excess caffeine intake. Energy drinks, too much soda. Limit sodas to one 12oz can per day. Even if diet or zero too many sodas are bad for your blood pressure!
