White on White crime is just as real as Black on Black crime. Black on Black crime is a stigma created to make us feel inferior. https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2018/crime-in-the-u.s.-2018/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-6.xls

"I am America. I am the past you won't recognize; but get used to me. Black, confident, cocky. My name, not yours. My religion, not yours. My goal, my own. Get used to me." -- Muhammad Ali

On this rendition of The "Manhood Is A Skill Set" Show we discuss, the things holding you back from being a REAL man. One thing about being a man is that it is a fluid process, we're constantly changing or apt to change due in part to our trials and tribulations. Along the way we're likely to encounter fear or self doubt, part of our growth & evolution as men is to become solution-based. We acknowledge our mistakes, and we take ownership of our mistakes and our flaws without casting blame. We strike a fine balance in putting yourselves first while also being of service to others, we have keen self-awareness and we understand how our words and actions impact others. We channel our passions on positive things, what will your legacy be? We discuss this and more, join us.

This!!!

The donkey told the tiger: The grass is blue.

The tiger replied: No, the grass is green​.

The discussion became heated, and the two decided to submit the issue to arbitration, and to do so they approached the lion.

Before reaching the clearing in the forest where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey started screaming: ′′Your Highness, isn't it true that the grass is blue?"​

The lion replied: "True, the grass is blue"​.

The donkey rushed forward and continued: ′′The tiger disagrees with me and contradicts me and annoys me. Please punish him"​.

The king then declared: ′′The tiger will be punished with 5 years of silence"​.

The donkey jumped with joy and went on his way, content and repeating: ′′The grass is blue"​..

The tiger accepted his punishment, but he asked the lion: ′′Your Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is green?"​

The lion replied: ′′In fact, the grass is green"​.

The tiger asked: ′′So why do you punish me?"​

The lion replied:

That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. The punishment is because it is not possible for a brave, intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with a donkey, and on top of that to come and bother me with that question

The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn't care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on discussions that make no sense... There are people who for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand, and others who are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right even if they aren’t.

When ignorance screams, intelligence shuts up. Your peace and tranquility are worth more.

Gov Abbott has asked the Texas Department of State Health Services to use staffing agencies to find additional medical staff from beyond the state’s borders. He also has sent a letter to the Texas Hospital Association to request that hospitals postpone all elective medical procedures voluntarily. All of this is happening, and the governor still won’t lift his dumb-ass ban on masks mandates because, well, he’s just not that smart...

Fla. Gov. Ron DeSantis and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott are still banning mask mandates while their states are seeing huge spikes in COVID cases.

Don't say a damn thing about CRT until you've watched this video.

At least 25 states have taken action to ban the teaching of critical race theory. It comes as Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) compared CRT to the Ku Klux Klan. NBC’s Mehdi Hasan spoke to one of the co-founders of the theory, Kimberlé Crenshaw, about what Republicans are getting wrong about her work.

Critical race theory examines social, cultural and legal issues as they relate to race and racism. It is an academic discipline that seeks to critically examine the law to show, first, that it maintains white supremacy, white power, and enforces societal or structural racism; and, second, that transforming the relationship between law and racial power is possible. Critical race theory examines how the law intersects with issues of race, and challenges mainstream liberal approaches to racial justice.
