INTRODUCTION Today I will make the argument explicitly and I shall not refrain, even at the expense of hurting our feelings. Duty demands my strident tone, and I must ‘work the works of Him that sent me,’ like I mean it. I going to tell Black people the truth, and then hopefully we can build from there. Nigratude, it turns out that we have grossly overestimated our abilities. This is not so much due to race itself, or any intrinsic factors proceeding therefrom, as perhaps Charles Murray might suggest. Oh no, it is the result of deliberate and accidental forces…

Every once in a while, God dumps an encapsulation of failure (or success), so strongly that it becomes an archetype of everything right or wrong with particular classes or entities of phenomena. In our case Cynthia Erivo shows us everything wrong with Black American men and women. Amazingly, and why I am religious about the matter, is because it is hard to believe one thing or detail can be used to summarize an entire catastrophe of failure. Completely unwittingly, Cynthia Erivo, and I will inject here David Oleyowo, Chiwetel Ejiofor, John Boyega, and Trevor Noah symbolize Black American dystopian dysfunction…

Let the reader not worry, I was shocked too when I was inspired with the title, pre-composition. That is a sign of genius, you know. My initial reaction was ‘that is preposterous’. There is no obvious qualitative or quantitative measure by which today’s Black post-modern athlete could be compared negatively to ‘professional’ Black athletes during segregation and pre-integration days. But then my mind started fulminating, creating its own hypothesis and methods of analysis and comparison in order to get the desired result; starting from the premise and proposition that ‘Professional’ Black Athletes and the Communities and schools that produced them,…

The reader may be wonder how these two subjects interrelate. With God’s help this shall be illuminated further. One of the reasons I like great books and thinkers is because they almost force a person to think in ‘other’ terms than the given set proposition and construct. Kierkegaard’s book Either/Or has fascinated me its discussions of the philosophy of aesthetics, tragedy, Greek Epics, Greek Tragedy, poetry, ethics, sorrow etc. Just because I’m fascinated by something doesn’t mean I want to write about it myself; except that I recently read that the Rapper TI, ‘Wild as the Taliban, 9mm in my…

I have a saying that I resort to sometimes. It runs, “I miss my White friends.” By this I mean that in my life, a few times in elementary and middle school, a few times in my college years, and a few times in my vocational life, I’ve had White friends that I considered ‘real’ friends. Male and female, the relationship was sincere and casually reciprocal, and my associates quite often benefited me, and I benefitted them in sometimes particular and generic ways. And yet now in my life, living in an all-Black neighborhood, having gone to HBCUs, all Black…

Part III Other genius strategies that are completely self-defeating for Black people are reparations. We are debating and protesting White people, and donating and giving niggas with a little education they got from the White man and that talk good, money for a full time salary and staff, for the sole purpose of begging White folks for reparations. That is the definition of a counterintuitive revolutionary strategy. Instead of taking up money to start businesses, support marriages and families, etc., we will pay a nigga the White man trained to complain to the White man on our behalf that we…

Part II Ladies and gentlemen, what we witness in ‘Slickens and Bottoms’ parlaying the Atlanta ‘Missing and Murdered Black Children 1979-1981’ issue into fooling urban Black and White mainstream Atlanta that they are really concerned about ‘Black youth’ and desirous of righting wrongs and injustices. Only because the injustice is speculative and probably being caused by the KKK, rogue racist White police or the illuminati or the same CIA/FBI group that introduced crack to the cities, it is safe to score some perceived ‘cool points’ addressing the ‘Missing and Murdered Black Children 1979-1981’ issue. But dealing with the reason exponentially…

It is with utter disgust that I watched our Negro former and current mayor(s) pat themselves on the back for their ‘tireless’ work to document, reinvestigate and memorialize the Atlanta 30 to 35 Atlanta Missing and Murdered Children situation from 1979-1981. And yet at the very same time in 2023 there are many Black male and female teens that are murdered, but they aren’t missing and the perpetrators are quite known, that is to say, there is no need for conspiracy theories about the KKK, FBI, CIA, and the same people that introduced ‘crack’ to the Black cities in the…

What is wrong with the church Parts I-IV I feel sorry for the southern Baptists. In an effort to show how hard core conservative they are, they put the New Faith Mission Ministry out of the fellowship of the SBC. The only problem was not only is ‘Baptist’ nowhere in the name, nor has the “New Faith Mission Ministry” ever had any affiliation with the SBC, but it was for having a woman pastor. Trump was way, way ahead of his time and behind it at the same time. He loved to talk about ‘witch hunts’. With all the problems…

It’s MLK Jr.’s birthday 2022. I’m so excited, ‘Marty King’ said not to celebrate his daddy’s birthday without making the White mainstream American government pass the Voting Rights Act legislation. Dexter King was somewhere celebrating with his White wife and mulatto children on a Malibu beach living his father’s real dream (living in an exclusive White neighborhood, gullible White women and money in no particular order). Meanwhile the slaughter of the innocents continues. Black on Black crime spirals head over heels as White mainstream liberals are perfectly willing to acknowledge ‘Black Lives Matter’ but it seems many young Black people…
