Black On Black Love

People should not do good to be seen, but should be seen doing good.

This Devil is Trying to Kill Us 

Last week the devil, America’s Felon and Chief, took the first low key steps to kill and eliminate Black people in this country.  This is not to say that he’s not going to go after other cultures, I can only speak for myself.  I can hear many of you now, “Ok Tony now you’re taking it too far now, and where is the evidence of that.”  Well, let me give you some.  

A Message to the Masses

All those that want to get rid of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), we will start by getting rid of you.   Let’s start by not doing business with those who don’t want to support us.

What About Poor People?

I see four classes of people.  I see poor people, people doing a little better than others (on the outside), people doing well and those that are grossly wealthy.  

A Mo Better Union

You know what’s deep to me?  The way we (most people) just repeat stuff without even thinking about what’s being said.  Take for instance the “More Perfect Union” people.  

Keeping the Faith in the Mist of Madness: Now Let’s go to Work  

By the time you guys read this article, we will be on the final day of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago.  Now that we’ve all heard the speeches, promises, predictions, potential policies, plans and platitudes; it’s time to go to work.  I don’t need to tell you that the dominant society, more so than the house negro (we sick boss) are reeling in shock and is frightened—frightened because their worst nightmare looks like it just might come true.   

Black People DO and WILL Participate in Clinical Trials!

I Choose Life Foundation (ICLF) had an opportunity to showcase an educational video produced in partnership with Jumo Health and Merck & Co. addressing the Black community and clinical trials at the 26th Annual REEL Black Men Film Showcase hosted by the Black Hollywood Education and Resource Center (BHERC).

Politicians, Lies and Straight up BS

Isn’t it sad, at best and pathetic, that lies and lying have gone viral in America?  You do know that this type of behavior is not really foreign to America and American culture. Lying, cheating, stealing and “BS”ing is as American as apple pie and baseball. How else could anyone with an IQ over 2 explain the nearly 74 million plus Americans voting for an orange mendacious madman pretending to be human?

Is it Because They’re Black Women?

Women are 2 to 3 times more likely to be diagnosed with lupus than men and lupus is most prevalent among women of color.

I’m Doing It In Honor of My Mother  

Last week, my team and I had the pleasure of visiting nine southern cities which included Jackson, MS, Little Rock, AR, Charlotte, NC, Greenville, SC, Atlanta, GA, Houston, TX, Birmingham, AL and Fort Lauderdale, FL.  Our goal was to go into each of these cities and partner with local Black organizations to educate our people and to address the issue of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and to hopefully get our people involved in a new clinical trial to treat the disease.  

February: Getting Back to Black

As we head into Black History Month, as Black people, let’s make February our beginning of the New Year or as a new beginning of thinking for ourselves, understanding ourselves (and America), leaning on and learning from our culture, and throughout the year, not to allow America’s fear (White fear) to be our Black reality.
