As a Christian, it’s hard to believe so many pastors are truly anointed to lead and preach. Many may have good intentions, but it’s unlikely they’re genuinely called by God. The effectiveness doesn’t add up, especially with all the evil in the world.

I’m always held accountable and own it. Especially by my haters. But you’re mad when I call out billionaires for lying to Black America? I only built the site after waiting seven years on Jay and Puffy’s lies. You should want them to be called out.

Yall remember when Puff Daddy and Jay Z lied and said they were building a giant Black owned business portal? So I built www.myblackpantry.com. It has the world’s largest collection of Black owned food products. Check it out!

In 2020, the murder of George Floyd forced America to confront its brutal history of racism. Protests led by Black youth, supported by diverse supporters such as young white and Jewish college students, brought promises of change from corporations, politicians, and universities. But three years later, much of it feels hollow—opportunism masked as progress.

Take Harvard’s program, for example: instead of integrating it into their core curriculum, it is treated as an external project. Why isn’t Black history recognized as central to American history? This pattern is evident across institutions. Promises made in the heat of outrage fade, leaving Black communities marginalized once again. Then you wonder why we go so hard to protect and promote our businesses.

These DEI cuts do not target specialized programs—they impact actual American history. This is precisely why the United States Air Force reinstated the Tuskegee Airmen history. That’s American history, not DEI.

It’s time to stop waiting for validation. We’ve built thriving communities before, only to face white mobs stalking us and destroying them. But our resilience endures regardless. Let’s focus on investing in ourselves—educating our children, building businesses, and reclaiming our power. True progress won’t come from empty gestures; it will come from us. We have to start loving us, as much as we desire the love from everyone else. It’s time for a reset, and it’s coming.

My apologies to Publix and to all of you. The company has not made anything public, despite the widely shared meme saying they ended their DEI initiatives. I should have researched first, and it won’t happen again. I’m notifying the sources as well.
