That's definitely true. Even in small cities and towns. When I'm going back home to Louisiana I always find it's far more likely that police set speed traps in small towns than major cities like Houston. In the major cities that do exactly what you are saying. They just do it in poor...

This Democrat's suggestion after the killing of Tyree Nichol's murder is to pay the police more money! Be careful about voting blue no matter who!

Na that's making an excuse. They were black and they were FBA. Let's not sit and act as if FBA ain't out there killing each other left and right.

I thought the same thing. I was thinking did he talk to one of their women or something. It didn't come off as just a regular arrest. They pretty much jumped him.

They act as if the results would be the same if the cops were white. If they were white, no charges, paid administrative leave and all the usual excuses as to why nothing is being done!

When I was a cop I had to drive from Texas to Arkansas for my police academy. I traveled in full uniform. On the way there I was on a long empty road in a woody area. Lots of deer were jumping out. I slowed down and moved to the left lane as most of the deer were jumping out from the right. A...

As someone who is a nurse it is absolutely immoral to not provide the best care you can for someone regardless of what their beliefs or ideologies are. I once worked a federal prison as a nurse. I had a patient who was part of the Aryan Nation. He was racist through and through. He came in with...

A huge part of the argument for reparations a lot of platforms argues for reparations based on slavery. There is some argument for that, however there is a lot of room for anti-black racists to wriggle around and try to argue against it. I argue that we are owed reparations more for the things...

This was probably the best argument for reparations I've heard yet. And it's from a white guy and had nearly nothing to do with slavery!

I don't associate being independent of the system with being broke and destitute. That is because I don't believe that at current there is a way to be independent of the system. There is no specifically black infrastructure or community. There is no specific, white, Asian, or Hispanic community...

And that's wonderful. However there are only a few hundred people on the site. Out of that only a few dozen participate regularly. As a whole black people are totally separated. That's sad and unfortunate but it's true. What I'm saying is don't sit around waiting for black people to magically...

So because other black people are broke and destitute we all should be broke and destitute together?

Stay healthy and in shape. If you're healthy it increases you're work capacity. You won't feel tired as quickly. You can work extra hours easier. In all increasing your earning ability. In addition you spend less on healthcare as well. You don't need expensive medicines with bad side effects.

This book is a great resource for nurses and medical professionals. It's stated for LPN but a lot of the messaging can work for RNs and CNAs too! Though you shouldn't ever be making less than 6 figures as an RN. If so you are doing something wrong!

Tip: Find a career. Not a job. A job is a place you work at short term to make money. A career is a vocation that you work in towards retirement and longer term goals.

It's just blank talking points. Come together. Work collectively. Build the black community. That all sounds good, but what exactly can be done to make any of that happen. If you can name anything specific that I could do as an individual I'm all ears! I know for a fact things I can do...

Exactly. There isn't anything that is 100%. You can take all the right steps and a cop could still shoot you dead in cold blood. However, it is far less likely if you are in a better part of town. Lots of people will argue with a cop on the street because they don't have the resources to take...

Just being honest. This sounds like a lot of "HOPE" jargon to me. It sounds like dismissing hard work and doing what it takes to be successful and promoting being hopeful and coming together talk as if that replaces hard work. Not saying that we shouldn't have unity. However if all we have is...

Absolutely! That's what I am advocating for. I just don't think everyone in the thread gets that. I'm not saying this is easy. I'm saying that it works. No route to success is easy. If that were the case, then everyone would be successful. The success and financial well being of an entire...
