Black Women: Beauty and Boycotts

If you can spend money on manicures and pedicures at non-Black salons, you can do the same at Black salons. I understand that some are not deemed to be in the safest of areas and some are not that good, but there are options just like with the non-Black ones. Help the quality Black-owned salons thrive or strive to have the best salon in your area. I'm not talking in terms of having the most expensive high tech salon, I'm talking about having the best quality and the best service. If you can, see if you can get a cosmetologist on wheels to stop by your home. There are even Black women at non-Black owned salons that represent themselves and pay a booth rental fee if that's the route you have to go. There are reputable sistas out there who are more than certified, but if you still don't want to support (even on occasion), do it yourself.

Stop going to these Asian businesses. Minorities, sminorities, who gives a fuck what they're considered. They're not African American or Black in general, those are people put in the line ahead of you so when its time to get what we tangibly deserve there are only crumbs left to be served. That's intentional. These other groups aren't riding for you, but they'll use you. If you're willing to go fight so that they can set up shop, they won't stop you. If you're willing to support that shop so they can eat because you feel that they're fellow people of color and we're in the struggle together, they won't stop you. They don't have a problem with you lying to yourself, but when it boils down to it you see how they feel based on their actions. It's way too common to see an Asian shop in a predominant Black area, but you can't find them shopping in any Black owned business in that area because they're just there for the money we can give. They spend their money with their people or White people. I've seen more White people support Black businesses than non-Black people of color, even if some are trying to figure it out so they can be snakes and replicate it.

Black men keep Black owned barbershops going, why not be motivated by that? I've never let a non-Black person cut my hair, ever. You can't say that doesn't exists, this is for the Black women who aren't thinking. This is for the Black women blowing their last dollar on non-Black businesses to have some pretty designs on their nails and a head full of weave purchased from these stores costing hundreds of dollars. Its a condition that's worth breaking away from, especially if you don't have a job or struggling. That money adds up which helps impact Asian lives so they can live good, save, and support their family off your last. Be real with yourself and add the money up that you would normally spend on hair for 3 months and then multiply that by 4 so that you can get an idea of what you're spending on a yearly basis.

If you're spending big money on weave and you rely on pay day advance places to help you get by, that's a problem. That's proof that your appearance matters more than actually having a home and other necessities. It's even worse when kids are in the equation.

If you need a ride to go to the beauty supply store so you can spend big money on some weave, that's proof that you're willing to walk or rely on someone else than to go without weave. It's even worse when kids are in the equation.

I've heard bitches (not to be confused with Sistas) talk about money for hair, nails, purses and more coming out of a child support check, money that could help impact their child's life as intended. That's dumb low life bullshit and its fucking wrong, any woman doing that should be ashamed, but these types of Black women are too busy trying to look like America's Next Top InstaThot while their child looks a mess. It's idiocy. I know beautiful Black women with nothing more than their natural hair, I admire the comfort they have in being themselves because its nothing to be ashamed of. I respect that. If a woman wants to wear weave, I won't come down on that decision either BUT its bad when it becomes your identity.

Multiple examples are out there why you should switch up, especially for the women willing to do anything to get their hair and nails done. I know things are moving at a rapid pace and some Black women feel like they'd be forgotten if they don't look a certain way to keep up an appearance, but at least shift it towards Black owned businesses. That decision can be made today, you're reading this by way of a phone, tablet or computer, right? So you have access to the internet to find out what salons are located where. Stay out of Asian nail and hair shops, you have too many examples why.

Taking chances over hair says something too, don't do it, hair isn't worth your life. That's materialism, willing to go to jail or die trying to keep up with the Joneses reveals a very unhealthy addiction. That addiction is a side effect of something else, which is likely low self esteem (representing a rabbit hole that leads to a deeper problem). I came back to edit this because I didn't want to leave it without highlighting a few more things. If you can afford to talk to someone, talk to them. Get together with some friends and empower each other to walk away from the addiction of weave. It could be liberating. Black owned hair salons can stand with or without weave, because hairstylists are still in demand, just like barbers.

Black Women: YOU HAVE THE POWER TO DESTROY AN INDUSTRY and REPLACE the non-Black competition because you are the customers. YOU HAVE THE POWER. Wield it!

Racial Junk - Making excuses for White Supremacy

Tamara Mowry spewed the words "...racial junk" in a segment on Yahoo, sitting alongside her husband.

I have a question for you: Ever notice how someone won't shut up even if their mouth continues to get them in trouble?

That's Tamara and her husband Adam Housley. He works as a journalist at Fox News that's powered by White Supremacy, so I can't help but wonder "Is Tamara taking on this schtick to keep her name in the media or is she knowingly or unknowingly playing part in a deeper agenda?".

I don't hear her name that often. She might be on a talk show, but she's part of a panel full of women that I also don't hear about that often. I know one was part of a pop group and the slit the throat of the first sista in the group, and I believe they did the same to another in the group, which a brotha pointed out in comparison to feminism. I am confident in saying that the majority of you who read this, don't give a damn about Tamara being married to a non-Black man. I really don't care, but if you continue to speak on Black people, there are Black men and women who will start to look at you and wonder why you continue to open your damn mouth about us. Especially if its not true.

If she shuts the hell up, I'm sure the heat will dissipate. She deserves to be ostracized, but the heat will let up. I wouldn't even argue with her husband, because they're looking for opportunities to complain about pushback from things they start. His Fourth of July post sparked up some mess, even if he was strategic enough not to speak on Black people, that's a known talking point. That whole patriotic argument and being grateful to be an America go hand in hand. He put that out there, and the racial junk Tamara spoke on rests in a pool of blood that belongs to Black people killed in the name of White Supremacy.

I bring her up because she is part of a list of Black people who reinforce White Supremacists and their actions. If you'll remember, I spoke on DeRay Davis giving cover to Dylan Roof saying that he was crazy, not racist. Regardless of the evidence, he put that in his standup on Netflix. I can't help but wonder if he had to do that in order to get the deal.

Kevin Hart came out in defense of Starbucks when those two Black men were arrested.

Amber Phillips goes on TV and labels all Black men rapists.

50 Cent was on The View dismissing the racism of women like BBQ Becky, Permit Patty, etc.

Tarana Burke created one hell of a weapon to be used against Black men, but they aren't really blasting these White women fucking kids or the White woman who was heading a sex cult (Allison Mack). Kimberly Guilfoyle from Fox News was even exposed for sexting male and female genitalia at work and put the names of the people out there. There are women who do all types of deviant shit, but they were too busy point at the men. So she got a pass while doing this stuff. I had a White woman trying to hit on me last night and I had to shake her ass off, I didn't see an opportunity to have sex, I saw trouble. The White men aren't even hit by the Me Too movement like Black men, and its crazy that Tarana's movement doesn't get justice for the Black women and men who come out about being violated White people. Notice that? So team Me Too needs to spread that love around and look at some of the women shouting Me Too. Julie Chen spoke on Bill Cosby and his wife, but now this woman is defending her White husband. Karma needs to burn her ass good right along with Les Moonves. They'll stand by their men, but they don't want Black men and women standing together.

You have a number of Black men and women reinforcing the actions of White Supremacy, forgiving their actions, making excuses for their actions, and even telling Black people to stand down after a Black person has been killed in cold-blood. That's why I don't consider everyone Brothas and Sistas, because they are not like a brother or a sister to me and other Black people.

Daryle Allums told African Americans to stand down after John Cowell killed Nia Wilson and attempted to take her sister's life. By the way, he sounded crazy saying that because who knew what else that murderer may have done. Not only that, who knows who else may be tied to him, but overall Nia was killed because her head wasn't on a swivel. You don't have to be paranoid, but you don't know who is who or down to do what.

These people love being around other Black people, they love it while making things harder on us or they prefer to be around non-Black people while continuing to make things harder on us. They don't have to say anything, but they continue to do so (Tamara Mowry). So they can't complain about the fires they create or find offensive when Brothas and Sistas hold their feet to it, because they're the ones who brought the additional heat to us (Tamara Mowry). They don't help with progression, and they're comfortable doing what they're doing because there haven't been substantial examples made out of these people.

I was talking to a Brotha on twitter, and I know he means well, but its imperative that more Black men and women see the value in boycotts. He didn't see the value in it and figured the money would just go from one white owned pocket to the next. I don't debate, but I had to put it out there that boycotts are valuable as long as they're not just talk and they're actually maintained.

Businesses have closed because of vicious boycotts, you have to see the power in that. If a boycott can shut a business down, support can build a business up.

So if you do your research regarding successful boycotts, consider what the shift in support would do for a Black owned business. Don't look down on boycotts, do not look down on boycotts ever. Its a weapon you have the ability to wield right now by way of controlling your dollar.

I want to highlight something: Sheriff Bob Gualtieri

If you aren't aware of what happened recently in Clearwater (Florida), another Black man was killed by an aggressive racist White man after the brotha shoved him away from his car (the car his girlfriend and her son were sitting in). He came up on the car accosting her and her son was a witness of this. She likely called the brotha to notify him of the terrorist accosting her while he was in the store and he came outside to defend her.

The "Stand Your Ground" law was used against Markeis McGlockton for the benefit of his white killer, Michael Drejka. Michael Drejka clearly started this (but that doesn't matter to White Supremacists), and I have no doubt that he was bold because of that gun. That's why law enforcement is so desirable to people with a mentality similar to George Zimmerman. Weapons are one of the reasons White Supremacy has been so successful thus far, but they watch or find it a problem if anyone is able or has the ability to equally match them. They will have nuclear weapons while telling other nations to denuclearize.

He probably would've killed her it if it were her pushing him back. Evidence of evil in the past and many other examples in the present have shown anti-Black people looking for opportunities to kill, and the Pinellas County Sheriff, Bob Gualtieri, gave Michael the excuse he needed to get away with it.

This was a Black man protecting his significant other, don't ignore that because those marching to an anti-straight Black male agenda want you to think like White Supremacists towards us. They want you to see us all as monsters fit for a horrible fate, when that actually needs to be prayed on White Supremacists and their supporters. Remember who ends up alone wondering where the support is when White Supremacy turns its wrath on these anti-Black coons.

If Markeis McGlockton were the shooter, the narrative would've been framed to lock him up by the very same sheriff or to claim his life.

The same sheriff would've killed Michael Drejka based on his own history.

In the name of concealed white supremacy, Bob Gualtieri gave Michael Drejka a manufactured pass, but what if he were in the shoes of the victim and he knew Michael Drejka had a gun on him? Do you think he would've shot him as soon as he stepped out of the convenient store? I'd say "Yes", and I'll tell you why.

According to his own words, gun owners like Michael Drejka would be "thrown down on the ground with a gun pointed at them --- or worse."

Again, according to his own words, gun owners like Michael Drejka, who was carrying a concealed weapon is "going to take one in the chest because he's a threat."

I highlight these things because Pinellas County Sheriff, Bob Gualtieri, doesn't see a problem with Michael Drejka killing Markeis McGlockton as long as it wasn't him in the situation. As long as it isn't a White person being harmed in general, the greenlight remains. As long as the White person flapping their gums to defend these types of situations that harm Black people aren't harmed, its fine. White Supremacists only see the wrong in it when its one of their own being harmed, even if they were arguing from two different directions prior to the perfect scenario that harms or kills a Black person.

Sheriff Bob Gualtieri is on code, even if there is history of him appearing to be against citizens openly carrying or concealing guns. That's out the window when its White against Black and the White culprit deserves to suffer the consequences of his or her actions. Even if its hypocritical, he'll do it to stay on code.

Now its time to turn my attention to you, because learning is always of great importance. You cannot play around with White Supremacists, its time to learn the importance of discipline, the power behind a mass boycott. There are Black people still wondering around like they're in a fucking amusement park. There is nothing amusing about White Supremacy, there is nothing amusing about White Supremacists walking away after killing a Black person. You have to be on your guard, because White Supremacy is taught and practiced daily, by any means necessary. You have to discipline yourself, and come to those of us who teach with Black empowerment in mind so that you may gain tools to keep your mind sharp. Keep your head on a swivel, and get your own tool just incase you really have to use self defense (and sharpen your skills). Research the best Black lawyers who can cover you in the event that you have to use such a tool to stand your ground.

Going back to boycotts, listen. There needs to be a long running boycott, and it needs to be as strong as fucking tidal wave. One thing you can do is assist in a boycott, don't be the coon in the room who dares to be different. We have no time for that shit, we don't need to hear your opinion publicly about how you disagree with justice for Black people. If you're seen and heard trying to go against it, your ass needs to feel the crashing blow of the wave (so help yourself and shut the fuck up). If you know a boycott is on against a business, utilize all the other options you have to make your contribution a good one. Don't explain yourself either anyone about a boycott either, you owe no explanation to anyone about fighting for the right to live and be treated fairly.

Don't hesitate to link others to the boycott either. If you find another company or funder connected to the target of a boycott, put the word out, expose them so their ass can get hit by the tidal wave too. If you can FREELY promote a non-Black owned company's product, you can do the same for a righteous boycott. Time for a new sheriff in Pinellas County. Find out what companies stand behind this fucker who tried to make the brotha the bad guy.

If its LGBT first, then fuck you, you're part of the problem.

If its FEMINISM first, then fuck you, you're part of the problem.

If its ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS first, then fuck you, you're part of the problem.

You have to stand for something if you want something. You can't just expect a White Supremacists to give Black people justice, they have to be watched and punished accordingly. White women aren't bringing you anywhere to make sure you're tangibly benefitting for the betterment of Black people. White men certainly aren't doing it. Latinos aren't doing it either, and you can look at all the businesses that hire Latinos only (requiring that you speak Spanish). Forget the other groups too. Who does that leave? If we're all we've got, its imperative to move like that.

If there are non-Black people down to support the cause, all they have to do is act accordingly. Assist in what's right. Join in on the boycotts, challenge White Supremacy, expose racists and keep it consistent. If they don't subscribe to White Supremacy, they'll act accordingly and stick to a code of ethics that are not anti-Black. If they're truly standing up for the cause, the Michael Drejka's of the world will think twice because the excusers and their supporters will be too afraid of the consequences.

Don't wait around for them to stand up though, take a stand and if they don't you know who you're dealing with. July 2018 is coming to a close, and August is right around the corner.

Stand for Black empowerment today. No marches necessary.

Kneeling Now Huh?

I've promoted the boycott of anti-Black hate for quite some time, and how to stop supporting racism. Colin Kaepernick took a knee and all sorts of people disagreed while some of us supported what he was kneeling for. It was powerful because the NFL tends to be the place where Black men are expected to fall in line and be gracious for the opportunity, but the other people kneeling should be gracious for the Black players who honestly make the league what it is today.

Colin wasn't kneeling with his sights set on disrespecting the flag. A flag that doesn't really represent us anyway including the national anthem that was edited to hide the racist roots from which it came to be, but Sistas and Brothas still consider it home. Many of our Brothas and Sistas have even gone to warzones for this country, regardless of the circumstances and come right back home to hate dished out by a lot of people who would never enlist. Kneeling is okay, it lets people know on a large stage what's being represented by these players. Colin kneeled because he grew tired of cops committing criminal acts to harm us, kill us, set us up and even if its caught on camera in most cases, they don't get punished. This isn't a debate about the criminals that aren't cops, its about the ones with the badge and their supporters with the deflection being the flag and our veterans. I've seen veterans missing limbs ask for help because their homeless and get bypassed by non-Black people but some of these people enjoy using them as scapegoats.

Colin did something symbolic, but that wasn't the only thing he did. He used his resources to make an impact. Just like the video below will tell you, you have an option when it comes to impacting racism. President Trump flapped his loose lips of destruction to try and get Black athletes tossed out of the NFL and it revealed something.

Don't give the management of NFL teams praise for kneeling, because they're kneeling (now) for the simple fact that they wouldn't have a solid meal ticket without those Brothas. They could replace them all with non-Black people and I'm sure it wouldn't matter. The NFL wouldn't be the NFL and it would leave room for Black entrepreneur's to create a profitable league to fill the void where the NFL once stood. I say that to say you have more power than you think. The NFL needs these brothas, those are kneels of concern. Those NFL team owners don't want to lose their metaphorical slaves. By the way, college athletes need to be getting paid too because they bring in way too much money and most don't make it to the pros. Their hard work on the field goes on to fund other programs that are sometimes run by racists sometimes teaching racists, but I digress.

Check out the video (again if you've watched it already) and connect the dots in your personal life, because you have the power to do so. Do not go out marching and doing protests, because it's not efficient (that seriously needs to stop). Chances are you are not in the NFL, NBA, MLS, etc. so being out there will only put you in harms way with nothing to show for it. Make your money do the marching out of those stores that support racism and learn how to make it work for you. The money is very important to them, they could careless about the marches beyond using them to demonize us.

Speaking of boycotts, punish the players who have a problem with kneeling too (Black or otherwise). Our job isn't to kiss ass, we have to pave the way so that the future is brighter for our children and their children's children who shouldn't have to deal with the same unpunished abused of the badge. If these people want to kneel, don't just stop there, stand together to get the process started towards punishing police officers. Breaking the oath should come base sentence to make the criminals of law enforcement think twice, which could save tax dollars eaten up by judgements against them.

So let the kneeling be motivation because you have what it takes to make a change.

Bad Cops: It's not the training

Take a good look at this Gwinnett County Police Department Officer caught on camera doing what bad cops do too often in and across the United States of America, breaking the law attacking citizens that aren't fighting them. Let him tell it, this Black man was resisting arrest and he had to stomp him to get him off of his leg or some sort of other lie. This man wasn't fighting this overzealous sack of you know what. The cowardly cop took "pleasure" in running over to stomp this guy's face while handcuffed.

That's not a lack of training, that's a lack of decency and honor in upholding what is supposed to be an oath. In many cases I've seen nothing more than bloodlust without real punishment to counteract it. Look at what happened with Alton Sterling, no charges will be pursued by the so-called Justice Department (it's the INjustice Department as far as I'm concerned).

Double standards don't equal justice. Wrong has to be wrong all the time and across the board.

Being handcuffed isn't good enough, you have to get your ass kicked before you're taken in? Why is this the America we continue to live in? That's easy to answer, that's the America too many people allow to exist because these problems haven't become their personal problems, yet. To some, acknowledging such problems is not fun or enjoyable. There are people who do more than stand idly by, they get involved intentionally in the wrong way. So much so that donations flood in to financially support cops caught in the act.

Do you know how sick that is? I wouldn't be surprised if some of these people sit in attendance online or in person to watch murderers kill people for their enjoyment. Sounds a bit extreme, but there are audiences for all sorts of filth, just like there is for child pornography.

Too many sick cops are fans of child pornography, I've listed a few examples below:

Officer Miguel Martinez | Detroit Police

Charged with possessing and distributing child pornography.

Sergeant Richard F. Woodhead | Attleboro Police

Arraigned on charges of attempted enticement of a minor.

Attempt to receive and possession of child pornography.

Officer Harry McCarthy | Ogdensburg Police

Possessed and promoted a sexual performance of a child.

Officer George Adymy | Hamburg Police

Accused of using his home computer to download numerous images of children engaged in sexual activity.

His arrest stemmed from an investigation of a company and its billing services for over 50 child porn sites, so his billing statement must've popped up.

Some of the supporters of these sick cops want your shoulder to cry on, want your friendship, your business, want your donations or a bed to roll around in with you, all the while being perfectly fine with the actions of corrupt police that may hurt you or someone you love. Are these friends or undercover foes? Think about it.

One thing you can and should begin to do: Disassociating yourself with these people socially and financially is one of the biggest and loudest steps you can make. Trust me.

These people are disgusting and I find it funny when people like this, speak against other countries in disgust as if this is just a place of sugar, spice and everything nice. I can't blame any other nation that laughs and says “Look who's talking”. Then again, there are many non-Black people in the United States that often point the finger to keep the heat off of them, even if it means lying on one of us. This is a reoccurring thing with multiple victims.

The groups that rejoice usually have one thing in common and its usually racially charged to back tax funded criminals that attack African American people and people that look down on criminal acts behind the blue wall. It shouldn't happen on either side, especially not on the side meant to uphold the law.

There are movements that believe in it as they live vicariously through these bad cops, but they are also an engine behind the attacks against non-Black people. So while they're cheering way to go on one hand, the other hand is also being washed in the same toxic water that includes the blood of innocent Americans that might be related to you.

Equality isn't real here, its just promoted as a feel good dream that some people try to cling on to for hope. There are people that try and embrace equality in their daily actions, but the system itself is the thing the American people are packed into with certain people pulling the strings for a number of immoral and unfair reasons. So the results are usually immoral and the people that find themselves in a position of power who refuse to go that route, usually find themselves in a battle against others in their local and state government. That says a lot.

It's always bad when you have to be concerned when pulled over by people who took an oath to serve and protect. This is doubly bad when you're not doing things that justify an arrest or harm that stems from actual self defense.

Then again, many African American men and women have seen and experienced this since before the badge became official (back during the Slave Patrol days). Don't wait until corrupt acts affect you, wise up, obtain tools of knowledge like those available on this blog and use them to think and act critically. I plan to do another post regarding law enforcement, so stay tuned.
