Mutiny in Da Communitah! By now you must surely have heard of the MAJOR dustup that took place recently on local Black talk radio station WURD FM - where Philly's own Dr. Umar Johnson was the invited guest. The topic? What else - the de facto Democrat Party candidate for the Presidency of the United States, current Vice President Kamala Harris. Despite her questionable bona fides, lack of primary cred and tendency to adopt ethnic and racial identities when the need to do so suits her, Kamala Harris maintains a strong following among Black women voters. This should not come as any great shock, since Black women are the Democrat Party's most reliable voting bloc, having raised some $1.5M USD for her campaign last month via a Zoom call organized by Jotaka Eaddy's "Win With Black Women" outfit. But things got really heated for the good doctor, as he was PILLORIED by Black women - who are Dr. Umar's most faithful supporters - for merely questioning why he should support Harris for POTUS. It was straight up ANARCHY, as the lovely ladies of da communitah turned on Dr. Umar on a dime! Many of you have been chomping at the bit for this one, and I have, too - and we're gonna talk about it TODAY, ONLY ON RUMBLE!

There was a time in Black American life where the phrase, "The White Man's ice is always colder" meant something profound; it was rooted in the idea that the testimonies, experiences, observations and indeed achievements, are always viewed as suspect or dubious - while those same testimonies, experiences, observations and indeed achievements, are always viewed as meritorious and accurate, when WHITE people do it. Moreover, that which is produced by Whites - even if it is the same thing, quality, etc., as Blacks (and very often of lower or dubious quality at that) - is taken more seriously than the same things produced by Blacks. If one thinks that such an adage is an artifact of a bygone era, today's topic will disabuse anyone of that one. What am I talking about? Tune in TODAY To find out, ONLY ON RUMBLE!

The internet has been ablaze ever since former POTUS Donald Trump's remarks about Kamala Harris at the National Black Journalists Association event earlier this week. Despite claims that Trump "lied" on Harris, the facts reveal that Harris has indeed "leaned in" to her Indian heritage for political gain - and, as Trump rightly pointed out, it now seems that Harris is attempting to "lean in" to her "Black" (read: Marginally Jamaican) heritage in a bid to win over Black votes. This is completely understandable - the Democrat Party NEEDS a high turnout of Black voters in order to win national elections. But with Trump's appeal to Black male voters ever since 2016, and reports are now showing that his support among Black men could be as high as 20 percent, it would appear that not all Black Americans are failing for the racial banana in the tailpipe. But where do Black women stand on this point? That's what we're going to talk about TODAY, ONLY ON RUMBLE!

By now you've all heard about the sound and fury taking place in Chicago yesterday - which happens to be the same location of the upcoming Democratic National Convention later this month - of former POTUS and current GOP candidate Donald Trump's appearance at the National Association for Black Journalists meeting. It was a contrived, contentious and I have to say, deeply disrespectful display put on by the all-Black female panel of journalists, who seemed to have personal axes to grind against Trump over asking actual questions about his policies with regard to Black folk. For his part, former POTUS Trump responded to the ambush in his usual quick-draw way, actually getting a good degree of chuckles from the crowd (I suspect they were largely from Black men - hope springs eternal that there are at least some Black men in this country left who still have their stones intact). How did the lovely ladies react to Trump's fighting back against their nonsense - that's what we're gonna talk about right here, ONLY ON RUMBLE!

Not to be outdone by the historic Zoom call of 44K Black women around the country, organized by , veteran journalist, newsman and commentator Roland Martin organized his own version - this time, led by Black men - to nearly match the $1.5M USD raised by the Black feminist organization over this past weekend. As a proud Black Republican, one who looks forward for voting for the GOP ticket for the third time straight this November, I applaud the outfit for their efforts - Black women are American citizens, and have every right to organize, rally, and fundraise for the political candidates of their choice. But what Roland Martin has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, is that without Black women, Black men HAVE no political interests - and are in DENIAL about it. Don't believe me?

With Joe Biden (finally!) dropping out of the 2024 presidential race, Vice President Kamala Harris has been tapped to fill to face off against the GOP's rockstar team of former POTUS Donald Trump and bestselling memoirist, Silicon Valley venture capitalist and US Senator J.D. Vance. While former POTUS Barack Obama has yet to endorse Harris, it is quite clear that the Far Left party faithful - which would include the Democrat Party's most reliable voting bloc, Black women - are all in. Indeed, the Washington Post reports, that some 44K Black women mobilized via a Zoom call and raised an estimated $1.5M USD for Harris' bid for the White House in her own right. But some big Democrat donors - like trail and personal injury lawyer John Morgan, not only contends that Harris is unelectable due to her far-left image and poor performance in her own right back in the 2020 primaries, but that she "f***** over Joe Biden", too - perhaps that might be why Obama himself has yet to throw his support behind her? In any event, the Game is now set - it's a Gender Divide for the Ages - the lovely ladies for the Dems; and manly men for the GOP - and I'm here for it as we talk about it TODAY, ONLY ON RUMBLE!

If the term "video v***n" had an image, one would be hard pressed to suggest a name bigger than Amber Rose. For several decades, Ms. Rose has appeared in numerous hip hop videos and related media, and as such has become one of, if not the face of the video v***n culture. Blessed with model-grade looks, she has been able to make literally millions of dollars from it - a feat relatively few American women of any color, can match. In more recent years, Ms. Rose has become something of a feminist icon, starting up the American version of the "Slutwalk" and taking up the cause of sexual assault claims on the part of women. But her recent turn toward the Right, the GOP, and Donald Trump in particular, has been turning heads. Rose claims to have always been a conservative, and her "coming out" speech at the Republican National Convention last night would seem to confirm that. Her move proves that Trump's appeal not only to the broad American Center of the country, but even to some ostensibly on the Left, is not going unnoticed by the pundit class. Did Amber Rose make the right move by going for Trump? We're gonna talk about it TODAY ONLY ON RUMBLE!

As if the Biden-Trump II political season couldn't get more bizarre, the country is still reeling from an assassination attempt on the life of former President and Republican candidate Donald Trump while out in Butler, PA. The shooter, 20 year old Thomas Cooks, armed with an AR-15 styled carbine rifle, fired eight rounds at the president, grazing his right ear, before the Secret Service snipers returned fire, killing Cooks instantly. Despite both Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden calling for calm and unity, there are voices on both sides of the political aisle that are brimming over with recrimination and scorn - even those who are arguing that Trump somehow "scripted" this horrific event to shore up his political fortunes(!). Incredible - but it just goes to show the degree to which the country is so bitterly divided. Meanwhile, there are those in the media who are speculating how the past weekend's events will go over with Black male voters - a constituency the Trump campaign has been keen to capture. Indeed, what are Black men's views about this weekend's events? And what can Black men learn from Trump's near-tragedy? All this and more we're gonna talk about THIS MORNING ONLY ON RUMBLE!

It wasn't long before the loud sound of balloons being popped and sparks of the worst sort started flying - so much so, that it wound up to Aaron's place of employment being deluged with OVER FIVE HUNDRED PHONE CALLS - and resulting in Aaron's ouster from his job(!).

The great debate! Longtime and hugely controversial social media personality Tommy Sotomayor finds himself in the crosshairs (yet again!) for his conduct during a recent appearance on the popular Fresh & Fit show. Brandon Jamal, who's "Now You're A Single Mom" song has gone massively viral, was also present on Fresh & Fit and things didn't go well; he was "Frank Castled" off the show, and Sotomayor now finds himself at the center of yet another controversy, particularly with his real time debate with The Saint & The Sinner. The Saint argues, that Sotomayor, as a kind of "elder statesman" of the Black Manosphere, should have conducted himself a lot differently during the Brandon Jamal affair - even going so far as to suggest and accuse Sotomayor of being "unmanly" in talking about Jamal after his ouster. Sotomayor for his part, pleads his innocence - saying that he had no idea that Jamal would be present, nor was he familiar with him. Who's wrong? Who's right?

White girls gone wild! In the past few days, two specific instances of White women have come before the American public by way of social media have made their thoughts known and it would appear that quite a few Black people are upset. First, there's the instance of a White lady loctician out of Chicago, who made a blistering series of messages addressing Black women, which was swiftly responded to on the "Indisputable with Rashad Richey" program; and of course, there's the controversy swirling around one Ms. Lilly Gaddis, of Wilmington NC. The "trad wife" TikToker made a video lasting just under two minutes long, in which she assailed "n*ggas", "gold diggers" and "folks fresh off the boat looking for a green card". She appeared to be responding to elements of the Manosphere - possibly the Fresh & Fit crowd - given that she specifically mentioned Miami, where Fresh & Fit are based. In any event, a question emerges: Despite their less than eloquent way of putting their critiques - are these White women right? Is there a ring of truth to what they're saying? And why are so many Black people so very sensitive to the very things they seem to delight doing themselves, when others outside of Black America notices it? We're gonna talk all about it TODAY, ONLY ON RUMBLE!

Over the years I have been asked to post a reading list of books that I think Black men should have to read. Now that my live living room studio is taking shape in earnest, I thought to give you a glimpse into my reading world. These were books selected at random after I put the bookcases together (there are two), and isn't taken to represent my required reading list in any way; I've got another eight or nine boxes of books to unpack when I get around to working on the other end of the living room - my "lounge" part. Just a placeholder for now until I get around to posting it. In the meantime fellas: Any of the book titles sound familiar to you?

SHORT KING JEFF BEZOS VS. HOLLYWOOD HEARTTHROB LEONARDO DICAPRIO: WHO WINS?

So, one of the flashpoints in the "now the battle is joined" debate between the Manosphere-proper and the so-called "Intellectual Manosphere" that is made up of what I call their "Four Horsemen" in Chris Williamson , William Costello , Macken Murphy and Alex DatePsych , is the idea that "short kings" can't get on. Here's to hoping we have a real and engaging dialogue across the aisle as it were.

Below is a clip from an interaction taking place between Hollywood leading man Leonardo DiCaprio and power couple Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. This clip has made the rounds throughout the Manosphere, and which goes to the idea - often promulgated by Incels and Black Pills - that there are immutable things a man who is "non-select" cannot change about himself. Height would perhaps be the single biggest one among them (another would be Race, since even now at this late and ostensibly "woke" age, White men still hold the top dog spot in desirability worldwide). DiCaprio is listed at a height of 6' even - and he is solidly in the Oscar Winner's Circle, given that most Best Male Actors that have won the honor are 6' tall or taller. Only a handful of actors Jeff Bezos' height of 5'7" have won - and the last time this occurred was in the late 20th century(!).

All four of the Intellectual Manosphere agree: Male height matters - with Murphy in particular confirming this to his predominantly female audience on the predominantly female platform that is TikTok. David Buss concurs in his classic work, "The Evolution of Desire". And, as much as we may bemoan the ubiquity of dating apps, it is undeniable what women who use them prefer along these lines - and that includes Bumble, the world's first feminist dating app. They may want to "smash the patriarchy" when it comes to prevailing norms of feminine beauty, but they're quite fine to leave classic leading man qualities and traits right where they are.

Bezos has orders of magnitude more in the way of wealth ($200B to DiCaprio's $300M), education (Bezos: Princeton, DiCaprio: High school graduate, never attended college) and very real real-world influence over DiCaprio - not only that, but in more recent years, Bezos has transformed himself from a dweeby looking White guy, to jacked, bald-headed badass - things Murphy and Alex in particular has told many supposedly wrongheaded and misguided denizens of the Manosphere to do ("Pick a ladder and climb" - right, Macken?). And yet, look at the result. Does anyone here, looking at this footage, honestly believe that Lauren WASN'T going, if DiCaprio wanted it? It was HIS call to make, body language doesn't lie. Fortunately for Bezos, we all know what DiCaprio's twist is - and lucky for Ms. Sanchez that she didn't have a daughter half her age floating around at that black-tie gala either. Ahem.

No one could possibly accuse Bezos of being a slacker, "whinging online about what women like", or some other excuse to explain what our eyes clearly see - he's elite educated, one of the richest men ever in human history, jacked and leveled up his looks as much as is possible - and yet, all it took was SECONDS for his woman to be in the presence of one of the leading Hollywood men of his generation in DiCaprio, to elicit the schoolgirl response from a woman who is in her mid-50s.

This is what many in the Manosphere are talking about - and to characterize it any other way is the height of intellectual dishonesty. If we're going to have a real debate gentleman, we can start by taking a look at the world for what it is, and not what we want it to be. Being a Short King is an uphill battle at best in the mating market, I would argue much more so today than in the past, due in large part to women's increasing economic, educational, social and sexual freedoms - that's not a lament or a dig, just a statement of fact.

MY critique of the Intellectual Manosphere - among many after a long and careful review of what they have on offer as a response to me and my compatriots - is that they suffer from the Fishbowl Effect. In particular I aim my critiques at Alex DatePsych and Macken Murphy, since they're the more outspoken of the four and have offered their turns at "advice" for the Manosphere along these lines. At best, I find their advice to be Basic - things that have already been covered by the Manosphere - and at worst, little more than women telling men how "personality" or "confidence" really matters at the end of the day. That is true, SO LONG AS YOU'RE ATTRACTIVE - and, as all of these men know well, what women find attractive is far and away more narrow and rigid than the other way around. There are no "plus-sized male models", for example.

Alex and Murphy hit all or most of the narrow list of things women find most attractive in men: They're White, tall, good looking; in the case of Alex he's jacked and in the case of Murphy, he was a boxer. Both are highly educated, and both have a sense of style that skirts the penumbra of "bad boy" - Alex with his combination of muscles, Man-Bun and exaggerated goatee; Macken with his sleeves of tats. And, to top it all off, both these guys are very social media savvy. Did I mention the fact that Chris Williamson actually WAS a male model?!? Any of these guys trying to advise the Jeff Bezos' of the world is a polite fiction at its best. Great players rarely make great coaches, is a maxim well known in the pro-sports world, and for good reason; if I have to actually breakdown why, we have a lot more to discuss than I thought.

Sincerely,
Mumia Obsidian Ali

PROOF THAT EVOLUTIONARY PSYCHOLOGISTS & THE (BLACK) MANOSPHERE GET ALONG JUST FINE

Sun, Jun 9, 2024 12.51PM EDT

With the rise of the Manosphere in its various guises and iterations (Red Pills, Black Pills, White, Black, Incels, MGTOWs, PUAs & MRAs, etc.) over the years, there has been much controversy, debate and conversation about their goals, aims and concerns.

Within the past year or so, there has cropped up what I consider to be group of honest, for the most part, critics - they have themselves become known to some as the "Intellectual Manosphere" and comprise of Chris Williamson , Macken Murphy , Alex DatePsych and finally, William Costello . With the notable exception of Williamson, all the rest are academics in training, with formidable backgrounds and training in Evolutionary Psychology. Among their critiques of the Manosphere, is the notion that the aforementioned understanding and application of the insights of Evolutionary Psychology are corrupted, perverted even.

This was the basis of Daniel Conroy-Beam's op-ed appearing in the Boston Globe last month, titled "How The Incels Warped My Research". Conroy-Beam, a colleague of Murphy, Alex and Costello's, argues that Incels have grossly misrepresented his work in particular and the whole of Evolutionary Psychology in particular, and while I've never heard of him prior to his outrage last month, I am nevertheless very familiar with similar arguments coming from Alex DatePsych and Macken Murphy in particular - with both of them noting how "interesting" it is that to date, no evolutionary psychologist worth the name would be caught dead with anyone from the much-dreaded (Black) Manosphere; and that there has been intellectual heft coming out of the (Black) Manosphere.

Strong claims, to be sure; but the facts, would beg to differ.

I now enter into the record of this debate, a portion of a larger, in-depth interview I conducted with Dr. David M. Buss , of the University of Texas at Austin, and advisor to both Costello and Conroy-Beam I'm given to understand; the interview originally aired on the Blog Talk Radio network and was subsequently uploaded to YouTube on Oct 5, 2017 - seven whole years ago(!). It can now be reviewed in its entirety over on Rumble.

As you can clearly see (or rather, hear), my time with the good doctor was nothing but lively, entertaining and highly enlightening - with Prof. Buss giving clear approval of my grasp of the various intricacies of Evolutionary Psychology, for example, Buss' concept of "Strategic Interference" - the idea that the sexes evolved mating strategies that inherently conflict with each other's preferred goals in mating. Sexual conflict lies at the heart of Buss' work, something that I've been closely reading and studying since at least 2017, and have also cited his work, particularly his two books "The Evolution of Desire" and his more recent "When Men Behave Badly" in my own books, "The Book of Obsidian: A Manual for the 21st Century Black American Gentleman" and the follow up "The Book of Obsidian: The Ladies Edition". I invited my interlocutors to review my works in writing and to come to their own conclusions if they think the (Black) Manosphere on a whole, continues to "warp" the research findings of Evolutionary Psychology or not.

I look forward to getting together with these gentlemen either on my platform, theirs, or a neutral party, to further discuss their issues and concerns with the Manosphere. As Murphy has pointed out - and to be fair to him - the Manosphere is anything but monolithic and in fact, is quite the diverse space. It would be a mistake to take some of the bigger names and attempt to use them as a blanket statement about the Manosphere, or anonymous individuals such as the vast majority of Incels, and use that again, as a statement about all of us. There ARE in fact, quite a few intellectuals in our own right in the Manosphere.

Sincerely,
Mumia Obsidian Ali
