    POLICE REFORM. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU?

    No. That's why I left the profession. I first decided that wasn't for me when a co-worker said that if he saw a car full of black guys driving around he'd think that was suspicious. I explained to him he was describing my evening las night. He kind of gave me a blank stare but didn't back of...

    Are you a homeowner or renter?

    Homeowner. Second time actually. Sold the first one. 3 bed. 2 Bath. 1519 Square Feet. 2 Care Garage. 5,663sqft lot with back patio. Love it. Very nice area and neighbors are all pretty cool. Very quiet area. I didn't want a very big yard. As you can see from the photo I just don't have time...

    Apple or Android?

    Android. Most of the stuff they tout as special about I-phone, android users have had those features for years. I-Phone is like Nike. It is just a brand name. Other than that not much special!

    POLICE REFORM. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU?

    I'm of the belief that we can't just ask for things using slogans. We must be very specific in what it is we want.

    BREAKING POINT

    Absolutely. It is up to us to get the work done. The last generation failed us. They became complacent with just not being hanged and being able to be around white people. Not having open and in your face racism was enough. That is why Trump scared them so much. It reminded them of the days...

    Is It Time to Drop the Term African American?

    Well as for me, I'm more proud of the African part and a bit disgusted with the American part.

    Chinese Teacher Thinks All Black Americans Speak With A Hoodrat Dialect

    That Missy Elliot tag was hilarious! "Why-thai, -thai-o-toy-o-thai-thai Rock-thai, -thai-o-toy-o-thai-thai"

    POLICE REFORM. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU?

    I am able to come up with such good ideas because i used to be a police officer. The thing that changes their behavior is loss of financial resources and loss of job. If a cop knew they were going to get suspended for 2 weeks without pay regardless of the outcome they aren't going to be so...

    BREAKING POINT

    Right now is the breaking point. If we can't get reparations within the next 10 years we will never be able to get it. The only reason it is even remotely considered right now is because they need the black vote. Unfortunately most of the black vote right now is the older civil rights...

    The Reparations Megathread

    Right now is the breaking point. If we can't get reparations within the next 10 years we will never be able to get it. The only reason it is even remotely considered right now is because they need the black vote. Unfortunately most of the black vote right now is the older civil rights...

    What was your WORST EXPERIENCE?

    That's how they are. They don't care that they just violated you and your rights. To them it's just oh well it doesn't matter because we're black. So what if we're upset. Nothing will be done anyway!

    POLICE REFORM. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU?

    One of the things we generally ask for is Police Reform. The white supremacists are constantly trying to frame the narrative of what that means. Most of their suggestions are trash. Some people both black and white don't even understand what qualified immunity truly is. I especially don't...

    Gov. DeSantis signs controversial ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill into law

    Personally I just feel the black community in large doesn't buy into the whole LGBTQ idea. As a people we tend to think more conservative. The Democrats just push this narrative and the civil rights generation just go with whatever the Democrats say. We don't even really get behind abortion...

    What was your WORST EXPERIENCE?

    I'm hoping you never have any bad experiences. You are doing the right thing avoid them at all costs. Any interactions you ever do have with them try to keep it short and over as quickly as possible.

    Reparations! Options?

    I agree with that sentiment. An extra 4k to put into a business of some type would definitely be beneficial. The reason I think the other options should be considered is pretty simple. The majority of the people who vote that are black are older and of that civil rights generation. Most of...

    Reparations! Options?

    I'll take the 4K a month too. But to be quite honest I'm making way more than that right now anyway. Even after taxes are taken out on making more than 4K a month. But I'll take an extra 4K on top of it. The catch to the college education is to make sure you get a very in demand job. If you do...

    What was your WORST EXPERIENCE?

    As black people we just about all have horrible stories about interactions with police officers. I remember one night I had went bike riding. I was just trying to get in some exercise. While I was riding the bike and passing one of the neighbor's house their dog ran out of the yard and bit me...
