Exactly. Racism is prevalent in America but I'm tired of people making EVERYTHING into a conspiracy. Like "they're trying to bring down Bill because he wanted to buy NBC". That was 20 years ago nobody cares about that and Bill didn't even have enough money.

The craziest thing is some of the biggest defenders I see are women. Same with people defending Mayweather about being a woman beater. We need to stop coming to the defense of people who are clearly wrong and blaming white supremacy for some " conspiracy " aganist them.

It's just as bad as clowns yelling "Free my ***** ____", knowing good and well their " *****" robbed someone at gunpoint.

Fifteen Black Entrepreneurs Make a Big Deposit In A Black-Owned Bank

By Robert Stitt

Fifteen young Black businessmen entered the Black-owned Industrial Bank with the intent of opening accounts. The men were members of the Black Male Entrepreneurship Institute (BMEI), a partner of the U.S. Black Chambers Inc. (USBC). The move was a calculated effort to gain support for black-on-black economics.

Ron Busby is CEO of the USBC. He said, “In order for there to be a strong Black America, you must have strong Black businesses. In order for there to be strong Black businesses, we must have strong Black banks. So, from my standpoint, this is just a reciprocation for what Industrial Bank has done for our communities for the last 80 years.”

The President/CEO of the Industrial Bank, Doyle Mitchell, was on hand and congratulated Busby for his leadership and inspiration to the young men. “I’m just humbled at the presence of mind that you have displayed since you first came to town and started taking a leadership role with the Chamber of Commerce and came to Industrial Bank and made a $5,000 deposit. You put your money where your mouth is,” he said.

Busby talked about the changes that happened in his life when he started to focus on Black business. He said that it impacted every area of his life. When it was time to buy a house, he found a Black real estate agent, a Black mortgage company, a Black title company, a Black home inspector, a Black pest control company, and a Black moving company. “Everybody that touched the transaction was a Black firm. The service was superior and the price was right.”

“There’s a trillion dollars of spending power in our community and we want to make sure that dollar stays within our community. Twenty-eight days a dollar stays in the Asian community, twenty-one days a dollar stays in the Hispanic community. In our community, our dollar leaves within six hours. We have got to change that…Until we have total control of how we circulate our money, our power and respect will continue to be marginalized,” he declared.

Busby is the leading voice supporting Black banks and businesses in America today. He hopes that he can continue to inspire young Black men and women to support the Black community by investing in themselves and their communities.

The Seal Of Whitesboro, NY, Depicts A White Man Strangling A Native American
Residents vote Monday on whether to change it. C'mon people.
View media item 1863204Upstate New Yorkers will hit the polls Monday to vote on whether to change an off-putting village seal that depicts a white settler strangling a Native American.
Whitesboro officials kicked off the New Year by sending out postcards to the village's 3,000 residents, alerting them of the vote.
"There's been this nationwide controversy" over the logo, and "it was time to put it to the residents," Whitesboro Village clerk Dana Nimey-Olney said in a phone interview on Friday.
"There's no better way to be a democracy than that," she said.
Surrounded by the town's name, the round logo at the heart of the controversy shows two men grappling against a grassy horizon. The man with the upper hand, so to speak, has chalk-white skin and flowing hair. His mouth is clenched in determination, and he is wearing tan garments.
The dark-skinned man in his grasp is not wearing a shirt but has a feather in his close-cropped hair. His mouth is open in anguish, and he seems ready to collapse.
Nimey-Olney noted that the seal has changed over the years so that the settler's hands are on the Indian's shoulders and not his neck.
"But for some reason people still want to say it looks like the Native American is being choked even though the hands are on the shoulders not the neck," Nimey-Olney said.
Whitesboro is a village within Whitestown, and its residents fit the name. City-data.com says 94.3 percent of the village's 3,735 residents in 2013 were "white alone," with just five Native American residents.
The Oneida County community took its name not from the color of residents, though, but from Hugh White, an early European settler who sat down a permanent site in 1784.
Voters will have eight to 10 options to choose from if they decide to change the seal. One of those options depicts the Erie Canal, which plays a big factor in the village's history.
Hard to say how the vote will go, but Nimey-Olney said village residents seem to stand behind the image.
"I've gotten a few phone calls from residents who say they don't want it to change," she said.
The issue became fodder on Twitter on Friday. "Yes, that's a good idea," wrote one user. "No it isn't. It's a friendly image, not a violent one," wrote another.

Judge Joe Brown (Episode 41) by VladTV | Vlad TV | Free listening on SoundCloud

In our podcast with Judge Joe Brown, he talks about controversial five-day jail stint after being found in contempt in Memphis, Tennessee; masculinity in Hip Hop and his thoughts about Young Thug's choice of fashion, and being the last judge presiding over Martin Luther King Jr.'s alleged shooter, James Earl Ray's case.
 
Sure some have heard of these groups or have one around, problem of school's dishing the 'Zero-tolerance' policy is less likely now but still prevalent in some poorer schools(most of the time black schools) and some alternative schools that are just as bad or worse.

This is a small group from the Duke area and right here they explain what they do



Basically, disciplinary systems in schools have been given the discretion to discipline kids how they want to and more times than not it leads to an oppressive nature to dealing with them. Especially black kids with teachers and school authorities given the power to judge their character and decide what they think is offensive... they sometimes(more times than not) get dealt with differently. Being condemned by an social institution so early in life leads a lot of kids to anti-social behavior and even pushes them out of school and sometimes on to prison. Groups like these help to hold these schools accountable and stop all the excessive discipline on non-violent offenses

I'm helping this kid with some nonsense right now and thought I'd share cause I ain't post in here in a while, I hope y'all been good.

Also have program like these(Similar to alternative school's but not) in some area's, if anyone interested in volunteering or wtver
