BLACK-OWNED BANKS SEE SURGE OF NEW APPLICANTS

 Dr Umar Johnson on the value of protest:
Protest is the first stage of any political or economic struggle. Protest is your marketing program to let the world know what I stand for; what happening to me; and what I want. Protest allows you to control the public narrative of your struggle. Without protest the world doesn’t know why you’re doing what you are doing. Protest is important because it’s your way of putting out your message.  So you can’t do nothing without it.
The problem with black people is there nothing after the protest. Do you understand? The protest becomes the goal instead of the means to the goal.
In response to Brother Umar, we are seeing the beginning of stage two — self-investment and black venture capitalism read more

KEVIN DURANT: “I AM TAKING MY TALENTS TO THE BAY”

Are you kidding me?
Kevin Durant has joined the one team in the Western conference that blocked him and OKC Thunder from playing the Cavs in this year’s NBA finals. Remember OKC was up 3-to-1 games before Steph Curry and the Warriors rallied back to defeat them. I guess if you can’t beat them, join them…? read story

ROMNEY ON TRUMP: TRICKLE DOWN RACISM

I agree with Romney’s concerns about having a thin skinned, misogynist, loudmouth, uncouth, ignorant bigot in the White House. But trickle down racism it is not. Since the election and re-election of our country’s first African American president, the racism from the GOP/Tea Party has been vastly more like a torrential downpour than a trickle.

Super Bowl 50

Each Super Bowl has it own epic story line or narrative. And this Super Bowl’s narrative does not disappoint.
Not only do we have two of the NFL’s most dominant and elite defenses taking the field in San Francisco on Super Bowl Sunday. We have two of football’s most dynamic QB’s leading their respective teams.
Peyton Manning vs Cam Newton. Or, as I like to characterize: Batman (Manning) vs Superman (Cam). Follow me and I will explain. read story
