I did a quick dive into which is a better way to spend our tax dollars, based on what helps the economy more: SNAP or corporate welfare. Guess what won?

“Sarah’s Oil” is a blatant reminder why Black people must tell our own stores!

The film is a white hero, Christian indoctrination, propaganda fantasy loosely based on Tonya Bolden’s book (when I say loosely, I mean whitewashed)

Here is the True Story!

Republican Winsome Earle-Sears struggles to answer why Trump didn’t endorse her for VA governor

Anyone want to tell her?

Also for those that need to hear it…

Black people don’t vote for people just because they are Black

We vote for those who have the country, our best interests, & the best interest of ALL in mind

We vote against racist/misogynistic archaism

And for civil/human/woman’s rights

Let’s talk about yesterday’s election:

Democrat Muslims, Black Americans and liberal Women of all backgrounds dominated — and let’s not forget Prop 50

I love it! This veteran is driving a billboard around the country to let everyone know what a traitor to democracy the orange butthole is.

Give him a follow. He just joined BSKY!

Have you ever seen Black Newsreels from the 1940s?

You can check out some by clicking on the link. They truly open a window into what Black life was like back then.

It also shows that we are going backwards as a country.

These should be in schools.

I have been collecting classic Black films, Documentaries and Black Newsreels for all to watch.

Black creators, Black casts, No racist whitewashing, and Minus stereotypes.

Hollywood blocked distribution for most of these films limiting their audience!
