  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

  • Punching Above Our Weight
    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

  • Living in a Black No-Man's Land
    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that. Finally I...

A FOOL AND HIS MONEY.....

"Toyota insulted us by putting those "thank you ads" in White newspapers and refusing to address Black consumers in Black newspapers,"
Walter Smith,
Publisher of the New York Beacon
http://www.lasentinel.net/Toyota-Refuses-to-Thank-Black-Consumers.html

DEAR BLACK AMERICA 2011 AND BEYOND
Black people need to sit down and be quiet. It is a shame and an embarrassment to be a black person because everytime you look around black people are crying, and whining because someone hurt their feelings or insulted their infantile intellect:

You did not thank me", "you put the word "negro" on the census form", you said, "those folks" or you "insulted us"

According to The Sentinel Online Newspaper they represent "a network of 200 Black publishers which represents over 19.8 million weekly readers, approximately half of America's Black population" while in the same breath professing to be:"

We are "tried, true, and trusted when it comes to Black people in America," "We are the gatekeepers for reaching Black people.

We just can't stand by and let Toyota disrespect our people that way." I don't think that our publishers will break rank with me, after all we're smarter than that.
Chairman Danny Bakewell Sr.
National Newspaper
Publishers Association (NNPA)

Now here is where it really undermines the assertion that African Americans are "smarter than that."

The Sentinel Online Newspaper proclam with justification that "Black Consumers Spent $2.2 Billion with Toyota, last year" but how smart was that when you consider that:

We have 1.1 million African Americans with advance degrees, plus a plethora of African American ministers/leaders, senators, congressman, representatives, councilmen and alderman but yet, African Americans have no verifiable evidence of a technology, infrastructure or industry.

African American organizations, political leaders and African American ministers/leaders concertedly lack the collective intelligence to create a foundation of inclusion for the survival of African Americans.

How smart is that?

Get smart for real black America because if we have spent 2.2 billion dollars last year with the Japanese then be smart enough to spend that same money to build your own car lots, canneries, maufactoring plants, industries, infrastructures, schools and technologies.

The title to this Toyota story should be: A fool and his money will soon part ways.
