Ice Cube made the news when a meeting with the Trump Administra...

After George Floyd's death, millions of dollars have been donated to charities and racial justice groups with little discussion as to what we want from those investments. I want to change that dialogue. I want EVERYONE to "BE INTENTIONAL" and create the environment where the outcomes we want can actually happen. What does "BE INTENTIONAL" mean? It means that we stop giving to charity and start put...

I am writing a new book entitled, Blackspiracy - Black Titans Lost to History. My book showcases forgotten black entrepreneurs and inventors who had an impact on the world. In Episode 27, I feature the Black politician who fought to get southern white people's right to vote restored, Benjamin Sterling Turner.

Episode 26 is entitled “Deep State Adopts Biometrics To Determine Your Race And Gender.” In this show, I discuss the introduction of facial recognition and artificial intelligence in retailing that can determine your race and sex. Retailers argue that the use of this technology can help them provide customized services to shoppers. What could go wrong with this technology? The #Deepstate would nev...

STRANGER THINGS: GEORGE FLOYD’S MURDER MAY HAVE BEEN A HIT This episode started out as a podcast to encourage everyone to stop being traumatized by the continued social media video posts of George Floyd's murder. However, as I researched more, I realized that the facts did not add up, especially when I learned that the two men knew each other and had worked together at the same night club. Listed...

Do White People Know Something About NOT Wearing A Mask That Black People Don't Know? I asked that question today after I saw a majority of White People NOT wearing a mask everywhere I went, grocery store, gas station, post office, running, walking, etc. Because I did not have the answer to that question, I did some research. I found an article authored by Dr. Erin Bromage that outlined how the Vi...

The death of Ahmaud Arbery was unnecessary and it should not have taken a social media campaign to get justice. However, this remains the NORM for minorities in this country. Dr. Martin Luther King and his supporters realized that television could force justice in America when individuals were forced to face the truth. On March 7, 1965, 600 civil rights marchers headed east out of Selma. They got...

In Episode 22, I discuss the #NewNormal and How You Can Create Your #NewNormal by living like my Black Grandmother. The New Normal is forecasted to be an Orwellian existence where you must submit to temperature checks, prove that you have been vaccinated, work from home and pay high prices for everything from soap to meat. If you submit to the urban dream of living in exciting cities like New York...

In Episode 21, I discuss how the world's leaders are using the Coronavirus -19 to end democracy as we know it. In Hungary, the prime minister, Viktor Orban, suspended the country's constitution and all future elections sighting the Coronavirus as the reason. The United States Justice Department has asked the Supreme Court to suspend the "right to a hearing" and have asked for right to hold individ...

Gayle King interviewed WNBA Player, Lisa Leslie, about the life and legacy of the late #KobeBryant. Ms. King, typically a good interviewer, went too far into the deep of the pool with this interview. Lisa Leslie is not a "groupie" or "hanger-on" for NBA players. She is an accomplished athlete (former WNBA champion), graduate of USC, commentator for the Orlando Magic, coach in the Big3 league, and...

The US Government (specifically Homeland Security) has decided to collect DNA samples . from hundreds of thousands of detained immigrants booked into federal immigration custody each year and to enter the results into a national criminal database -- a vast expansion beyond the original scope of the CODIS (Combined DNA Index System) Database. If the government can get away with criminalizing immigr...

In Episode 18, I give my Top Ten Predictions for 2020 that will PISS Black people off.

Two of my predictions will REALLY surprise you. If you like what you hear in the podcast, please subscribe, LIKE the show and FOLLOW me on Twitter at @Pet...

In Episode 17, I ask the question Colin Kaepearnick: Greatest American Hero or Uncle Tom. Kaepearnick was not hired by any NFL teams following his "Take a Knee" protest two years ago. Kaepearnick won a settlement from the collusion law suite he launched against the NFL. This past week, Kaepearnick held a private workout for NFL executives in hopes of returning to the NFL. Many sports analysts and...

In this episode, I discuss the five (5) reasons why I believe the Atlanta Public Schools Board made the wrong decision by NOT renewing Dr. Meria Carstarphen's contract. Atlanta, Georgia is the largest majority black city among the seventeen cities with a population greater than 100,000 people. All of these cities (Atlanta, Augusta, Baltimore, Cleveland, Detroit, Flint, Birmingham, Memphis, Montgom...

In this episode, I discuss the Five (5) requirements I think Robert F. Smith should have made of #MorehouseStudents BEFORE paying off their student debt. Don't get me wrong, I truly admire what Dr. Robert Smith did for the #Morehouse students; however, I believe he could have created a legacy that could have span generations. In 1995, Minister Louis Farrakhan organized the Million Man March in Was...

John Gallagher wrote a compelling article on August 12, 2019, in the Detroit Free Press that details that issues facing black-owned firms when seeking contracts in the city of Detroit. Gallagher points out that Detroit is 80% black and that the city has 49,000 black-owned firms. Despite these staggering statistics, very few firms are getting opportunities to redevelop the City, i.e., Ford's renova...

The #DeepState is at war with itself and that could mean that we may be on the verge of new war. This has been the pattern throughout history when #shadowgovernment members fight with each other. Most intelligent people realize that the drugs that come into this country make in through means of mass transportation, i.e., planes, trains, and boats. Who owns these means of mass transportation? The a...

In this episode, I interview Ms. Alika Hope, founder of the Ray of Hope Project. The Ray of Hope Project started with the goal of using African American spirituals to shed light on the combined anti-slavery efforts of blacks and whites in 19th century New England and now includes nine musicians and actors who incorporate African American spirituals with live music in their participatory programs L...

In this episode, I trace the patterns of blackouts in the country and conclude that we are under attack and that WWIII may have already begun -- not with bullets, but with computers. Here is the problem, I don't know if the war is between the USA and foreign powers (i.e., China, Russia, etc.) or between the USA and the #DeepState. By all indications, the cyber outages look like preparation for the...

I produced this episode in honor of LL Cool J (James Todd Smith) and Ice Cube (O’Shea Jackson, Sr.) who have secured billions of dollars to buy several regional sports stations from Disney ( https://www.tmz.com/2019/02/22/ice-cube-ll-cool-j-sports-tv-groups/) . When most people think of rappers, they think of people who live lavish lifestyles who eventually end up broke. I am sure many people expe...

This episode is entitled, "Land of the Free and Home of the #Borg because I believe America no longer wants diversity. America wants difference -- people who look different but who act, talk and walk exactly alike. We see the diversity backlash happening all over the country. Blacks and Latinos are being told that need to assimilate more into mainstream society -- which I take as code word for sto...

I wrote "8 Steps Every Black Voter Should Take Before The Next Election" on November 10, 2016 days after President Trump was elected. I wrote it because many of my friends were literally crying at the prospect of living in America with Donald Trump as President. I am not going to list the 8 steps in this description, but I will give you hint -- most of the steps have nothing to do with voting or p...

Former Fox News Star and NBC morning personality, Megyn Kelly, has gotten herself into hotter because she stated that when she was a child wearing "blackface" was okay as long as you dressed as a character. In this episode, I dig deeper into the Blackface culture and show you have deep it runs around the globe. Nearly every major industrialized country has a form of blackface celebration that disp...

What if I told you we are running out of the clean water and that many cities around the world (especially in African) are reach crisis point. What if I told the billionaires of the world are buying up the world's clean water supplies, technology and water rights in an effort to "corner the market." This is not the plot of a movie. This is today's reality. As we approach this water crisis, I stron...
