Politics: Wondering “Who is Richard Spencer?” Talib Kweli Explains (Video)
November 25, 2019
The father of Alt-Right, the term and the movement. Don’t know what that means? Worry not… well not about not knowing, because Talib Kweli narrates an explanatory clip above on that. But DO worry about this RACIST’S rise to power and his continued influence!
‘Hail Trump!’ — Richard Spencer is the unapologetic White supremacist who you probably watched get punched in the head. He’s also the man who coined the term ‘alt-right’ and planned the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville that resulted in Heather Heyer’s death.
So how did this Pepe-The-Frog meme incarnate become the flag-bearer of American racism?

And now he doesn’t think President Trump has gone far enough? Wow.

The U.S. Tax Code Favors The Rich… Just Ask This Millionaire (Video)
September 27, 2018
Damn. Even this rich guy shows us his tax return. Waiting on you, President Trump…
This millionaire revealed his tax return to show just how much the GOP tax law favors the rich.
– NowThis Opinions
Yep. The rich get richer, as the poor get shafted. And make no mistake, Eric Schoenberg is playing the game as it is; taking every tax advantage afforded him (because, like President Trump says, he is ‘smart’). But at least he’s honest about what the ‘game’ really is.

Barack Obama Is Campaigning For Your Vote This November. And It Is More Important Than Ever (Video)
September 19, 2018
Heart jumped when you read the title, right? Well, of course, President Obama is not running for the White House; the November vote having no bearing on the U.S. Presidency at all. However, he does want every American to vote this Fall. And he tells you why it is so important to do so; even though it is not for him, or for a new President… It is for YOU!
If you still don’t think the midterms will affect you, Barack Obama is back to spell out just how important they are.

Especially reaching out to the youngest voters. So many did not show at the polls.

Texas Congressman Gives Perfect Answer To ‘Take A Knee’ Question (Video)
August 31, 2018
Seems like this was a ‘take the bait’ question, a political landmine, more so than an actual question to gain clarity or understanding of the Representative’s view on the issue of #TakeAKnee
But like an OG, Representative Beto O’Rourke gave a perfect answer. Any remaining opponent to the peaceful protest, after hearing this argument, is choosing NOT to understand. The issue was made plain and clear here. Watch.

Colin Kaepernick Explains Why He Took A Knee (Video)
June 7, 2018
People sometimes forget that love is at the root of our resistance.
Yeah. That part.
Watch and listen to Colin Kaepernick explain (again) exactly why he took a knee, what he is taking a stand on, and why other like-minded people should, have, and should continue to challenge racial injustice.

TYT’s Francis Maxwell Speaks On The NFL’s Disgraceful Ban On Kneeling (Video)
May 29, 2018
… regardless, let’s just cut through the sh!te, shall we?
We got a whiff and posted on the NFL’s kneel ban days ago. Now NFL Commish Roger Goodell puts it all the way out there… No longer speculation, the ban is out there. Watch TYT’s Francis Maxwell speak on it, and make a helluva good point: The League is FULL of Black players whose interests are repped by this LAWFUL, PEACEFUL protest. Goodell and the NFL owner cadre are essentially telling them to bow down, by insisting that they either stand for the anthem or stay off the playing field until they learn to ‘act right’… or get hit in the pockets.
NFL Bans Kneeling. So Much For Free Speech, Right?
– The Young Turks
Keeping some pay to keep the ‘workers’ in check. Talk about a payCHECK… Wowwwww!

Chadwick Boseman’s Uplifting Commencement Address To Howard University’s Class Of 2018 (Video)
May 15, 2018
Better to find PURPOSE than a JOB. PURPOSE drives you to make a mark on HISTORY! A JOB is how you make a living. Preach that truth brother Boseman! Hear (and feel) the words of the Howard University alum giving his address to the most recent graduates from his alma mater, The Hilltop aka #WakandaUniversity
Stop what you’re doing and watch Chadwick Boseman give powerful advice to the class of 2018.

Weren’t we just talking about how drones can save lives on here? Well, watch how we can go beast mode with that idea in the best way. Great use of drone technology in the search & rescue realm; no longer just ‘search’…now they can bring some form of help.
