I GOT CAMERA IN MY HOTEL ROOM
Written by SDWJR
When I say these people are wicked—extremely wicked—I mean there’s no coming back from it. Some might call their behavior “sick,” and I wouldn’t disagree, but I call it wicked, and others might label it even worse. Whatever term describes the depths of this depravity, I’ll embrace it. I’m keenly aware of the repetitive complaints from individuals experiencing this type of wickedness in hotels across America. What I’ve realized is that many of the men complaining about cameras in their hotel rooms—whether homeless or not—have valid concerns. And as a Human Rights Activist, this issue deeply matters to me. It’s sad that these men don’t feel safe discussing their concerns inside those rooms because they fear being recorded. Instead, they talk about it on the streets amongst themselves. Many of them have told me this repeatedly, and I thought, Why not find out for myself?
So, I checked into one of these hotel rooms. That’s when I discovered a few hidden cameras inside one of the light sockets. I confronted the hotel manager, and she denied it, claiming there were no cameras in the rooms. She said, “It would be a violation if we put cameras in our hotel rooms. DHS doesn’t operate like that, and we respect our clients regardless of what they’re going through.” Her response sounded professional, but I had the evidence. Using a detection device at night, I found cameras hidden in those sockets. And not just cameras—recording devices as well. It’s unlawful to record clients’ conversations, just as it’s unlawful for someone to take your phone without consent. When I presented the evidence, I told her: “You might not have a clue about whether cameras are in these rooms because of your color. Hear me out—I’m not exempting you because, sadly, Black people like us sometimes plot with others to harm our own. This hotel primarily serves Black clients, with only a few white individuals. Why are there cameras in these hotel rooms, despite all the scanners and security guards in this building?”
I can’t dismiss the possibility that this comes from the hotel’s owners or operators. It’s extremely wicked, sick, and a blatant human rights violation. To me, the people behind this are cowards—idiots with no remorse, violating the privacy of Black men for their own twisted purposes. This leads me to a horrifying thought: Could some dirty, perverted men or sick women be using these cameras to get off on the sight of naked Black men every day? Are they treating this as their own free porn show from a New York City hotel? Just thinking about it pisses me off! What is the objective behind this madness? When I asked the manager again, she said, “I have absolutely no answer and can’t comment at this point.” Of course, she can’t comment—the video evidence exposed the hidden truth.
I’ve advised the men in these rooms to cover the lights with paper to obstruct the cameras’ views while still being able to see and function. It’s a simple step, but it’s not enough. No one respects the homeless in these hotel rooms, yet these individuals are making others millions while being abused, mistreated, and neglected. As for the hotel and the white owners running it like a prison—I have a message: Black Americans are always under attack in some way, and I will not stay silent. I’m writing this blog and will post it across social media to expose this injustice. Let me make this clear: I firmly believe that cameras exist in hotel rooms across America, spying on clients without consent. This isn’t just about one hotel—it’s a systemic issue.
“THE SUBJECT LINE FOR THIS STORY IS I GOT CAMERA IN MY HOTEL ROOM.”SDWJRALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE RACIST
Racist vs. Bigot: A Critical Distinction
Yes! I said it, and why not say it? Why not make such a bold truth—a true statement—about white people who have forever denied being called racist. I have been saying this forever: all white people are racist, if not for over a decade or longer. Many white people have called me a racist for making such a bold claim, defending themselves in the process. I mean, from upper-class white people like Tucker Carlson, who often took offense to a sign I had in Town Square addressing him and others as racist. The sign actually stated, “All white people are racist, and Tucker Carlson at Fox News isn’t a surprise.” Their defensiveness goes on and on. Similarly, or exactly the same, when I say, “All white cops are racist,” I have received backlash from white police officers. That is a topic I will discuss another time, but you get the overall concept of why they’re defensive. They want to convince the whole world—us—that they’re not all racist towards Black people. Like you’re probably saying, it’s the damn truth or thinking the title fits who they really are. To say all white people are racist must sound insane and far from the truth, as white people have always pushed back. Listen! The truth always carries a degree of exposure that can’t be concealed or denied. The truth, indeed, is the ultimate “nakedness,” revealing hidden darkness or concealed dealings. Keep in mind that Black people in America cannot be racist, and a single Black individual can never be racist against anyone, whether white or otherwise. I want you to know that we are on their wish lists, right up front. What do I mean by that? They wish they could call us racist with definitive proof instead of relying on their psychological and divisive lies about Black people.
The Uncomfortable Truth
You probably know certain white people for many years who aren’t racist to you or your family. Let me ask you this question: can you put your life or your family’s life on the line to say that all white people aren’t racist? Can you give up your life to defend what I am about to say? That would be a lot to ask of you, and a lot to risk for white people you don’t know at all. This is a clear truth that many of us don’t realize exists. Now, listen! Do me this huge favor and don’t ever risk your life out of ignorance for whites. On that note, let’s dive into this written knowledge and explore a truth that has been hidden for far too long.“Keep in mind that Black people in America cannot be racist, and a single Black individual can never be racist against anyone, whether white or otherwise..” — SDWJR
To discuss a group of white people as being racists or to view an individual's behavior as racist, whether in a specific or general context, it is essential to first differentiate racism from bigotry. Understanding the key concepts behind each term is important. Racism refers to beliefs, actions, or systems that discriminate against individuals based on their race or ethnicity, particularly targeting Black individuals. It often incorporates notions of superiority or inferiority among races, manifesting in individual prejudices, systemic inequalities, and cultural stereotypes. These discriminatory practices can permeate areas such as employment, education, and criminal justice, forming a systemic structure of control and oppression.
Bigotry, on the other hand, is a broader term that encompasses intolerance toward individuals or groups based on various characteristics, such as race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. While bigotry involves prejudice and discriminatory attitudes, it is not necessarily tied to systems of power or rooted in notions of racial hierarchy. All racists can be considered bigots because of their intolerance toward other races, but not all bigots are racists, as bigotry covers a wider range of prejudices. Clarifying these distinctions is crucial for understanding the different ways white racism and white bigotry manifest and for engaging in clearer, more meaningful discussions about prejudice and social inequality.More education and enligtenment and up front conversations must be a discussion among us, and with our children that all white people are racist against black people, and I mean against black people within society.By this definition,we all know now, white people are racist—They’ve personalized a beliefs or actions, but because they benefit from the racial hierarchy ingrained in American society.
They are part of a system that prioritizes their access to resources, opportunities, and privileges while disadvantaging Black people and other minorities. White people don’t have to hate Black people to be racist. They don’t have to advocate for violence or spew hateful rhetoric. Their racism lies in their acceptance of a system that advantages them and their unwillingness to make meaningful changes to dismantle it. Being racist, in this context, means being complicit in a system that oppresses others for their benefit.
What About Black People?
The accusation that Black people can be racist is fundamentally untrue. Since we have a full understanding of the differences between a racist and a bigot, a racist person demands or requires absolute dominance of power or privilege—control over institutions, resources, and societal structures. Black people in America don’t hold this kind of power or control over institutions, resources, and societal structures in America over whites or any race, period. Again, it is fundamentally flawed or a falsehood from anyone white that Black people can be racist or are racists. While Black individuals can harbor dislike for others, they lack the systemic backing to enforce inequality, which excludes them from being racists or part of a racist group. How many times have we heard White people calling Black people who speak against their actions racist? I heard a famous saying that goes, “Not only white people are racist. Black people are racist too.” Once again, it brings out what we call defensiveness of self. "All white people are racist" is the greatest exposure of them. SDWJR In simpler terms, Black people can dislike other races, but they cannot be racist because they don’t control the systems of power that perpetuate racial inequality. Racism isn’t just about individual actions or beliefs; it’s about systemic dominance.
Can Black People be Racist Against Whites and other races
I often hear the claim in white people’s defense that Black people can be racist too. Most times, this is spoken out of ignorance because they don’t know any better or are not educated enough on what they should understand. Sometimes, these individuals are "whitewashed" themselves, with no clue their lives are metaphorically lynched by those they’re defending. As I often say, these are people who want to “keep their slave master happy.” A lady once told me she was attacked by other Black people, both online and in person, for wearing a T-shirt that stated, “All white people are racist.” She shared how others said, “How about Black people too? We don’t like one another.” If that’s the argument, they are correct: we, as Black people, may not always like one another. However, this dislike stems from the same system of oppression created and maintained by the very people we label as racist—white people. Disliking, on the part of Black people in America, isn’t racism and doesn’t fall under its definition. If you’ve read through my entire writing in this article, you’ll notice I’ve clarified that while Black people can dislike other races, they cannot be racist. This is because they don’t control the economic power, institutional structures, or resources that white racists in America wield.
The White Denial of Racism
Many white people reject or dislike the idea that put all whites in a category as racist. They point to their friendships with Black people, their relationships, or even their advocacy for racial equality as an exemption. However, personal actions or good intentions don’t absolve them of benefiting from systemic racism. The structures that prioritize white lives over Black ones remain intact, and unless they actively work to dismantle those structures, they are all racist or all white racists. White denial often manifests as defensiveness: “I’m not racist because I don’t hate Black people.” But racism doesn’t require hatred; it requires indifference to the inequalities that persist. White people may not directly oppress Black people, but by failing to challenge the systems that do, they uphold those systems to their advantage. This is known as white privilege. Take this advice from me: If you are reading this article and have come to fully understand what you didn’t realize existed right before your eyes, don’t become overly conscious to the point where you view everything through what I call the “racist in disguise” lens. I suggest taking this information and keeping an open mind, whether you’re at work, home, shopping, on vacation, married, attending school, or just friends with them. This may be a lot to process, especially if you didn’t think those around you were racist at all. Also, remember—they already know they are racist. This underlying condition doesn’t need reminding, and they don’t expect you to bring it up. Knowledge is power, and I want you to use this power wisely. Think of it as a vehicle that can help you navigate the system. Lastly, don’t try to help them or burn yourself out believing you can change their mindset about you. As the saying goes, “They don’t want to be saved, and they’re not trying to have anyone save them.” They are content being racist, and the system they’ve created is beneficial to them. I like to say, “If it isn’t broken, don’t try to fix it.” Yet, we know they’re broken—like shattered pieces of glass—but they will never admit it because being racist is more rewarding for white people than not being racist. Don’t give them a clue about their racism, whether in your neighborhood, workplace, friendships, or business dealings. They already know it exists within them, and they are content being who they are. Use this knowledge to your advantage and maintain a level head at all times. Don’t expect them to prioritize you above their privilege or hand you power to control them. This is a word to the wise—and I believe we are the wise people.

Conclusion: Living in Truth
The statement “all white people are racist” isn’t about attacking individuals; it’s about exposing the reality of systemic privilege and control created by them, for them, and sustained with their influence. White people may marry us, feed us in different ways, support our dreams, fund our business endeavors, create jobs for us, allow us to attend the best schools, live in their communities, maintain great friendships with us, and even help us build successful lives and achieve the American Dream. None of this changes the underlying truth. In fact, it is their greatest deception—one that often traps us into believing that white people, or all white people, can’t be racist. This is where many, especially Black people, become confused, thinking it’s impossible to say all white people are racist. What we fail to realize is this: a racist white person doesn’t truly care about you or your family’s progress as long as it doesn’t threaten the benefits they gain from a racist system that keeps them privileged. Until white people can acknowledge that they are all complicit in racism—whether by nature or by design—and recognize their role in perpetuating it, Black people must focus on their own empowerment. Understanding that all white people are part of a system of racism liberates Black individuals from frustration and disappointment. It allows them to navigate the world with strength and clarity. This truth isn’t divisive—it’s empowering. Recognizing the reality of systemic racism creates the foundation for a society where everyone can flourish without racist control. It makes Black communities self-sufficient, safe, and independent—deserving of a better life without reliance on white influence across the country. Ultimately, building a foundation for Black independence, resilience, and progress is the ultimate goal. And that, above all, is the path to true empowerment.
Justice for Ta'Kiya Young: Former Ohio Cop Charged With Murder in Killing of Pregnant Black Woman
Written by The Wash Post
In a significant development, former Blendon Township police officer Connor Grubb, 29, has been charged with the murder of Ta'Kiya Young, a 21-year-old Black woman who was six months pregnant at the time of her death. This marks the second time in just two months that a white police officer has been charged for the killing of a Black woman in an incident that was deemed preventable. On August 24, 2023, Grubb shot Young at point-blank range in the parking lot of a Kroger supermarket after approaching her vehicle and accusing her of shoplifting. Bodycam footage from the incident reveals that Young, who was seated in her car, refused to exit the vehicle when confronted by Grubb. The video shows Grubb firing a single shot through the windshield after Young's car slowly moved forward. This footage contradicts the initial police narrative, where Blendon Police Chief John Belford claimed Young had accelerated toward Grubb, prompting the officer to fire.
Grubb's charges come just weeks after former Sangamon County Sheriff’s Deputy Sean Grayson, 30, was charged with the murder of Sonya Massey, 36, in a separate incident in Springfield, Illinois. Massey had called police for emergency assistance but was killed when officers arrived. These recent charges highlight a growing trend of police accountability, though they remain rare in cases of police killings of Black women. Ta'Kiya Young’s death has sparked renewed calls for justice, with activists and family members demanding accountability and reform. Her tragic death is a stark reminder of the need for greater oversight and responsibility in law enforcement practices.

Judge Delivers Setback for Menendez Brothers as Resentencing Hearing Delayed
Written by The Wash Post
The Menendez brothers, Erik and Lyle, will not be home for Christmas after a California judge ruled Monday to delay their resentencing hearing. Originally scheduled for Dec. 11, the hearing will now take place in late January. The delay follows uncertainty over the future of their case, as Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón, who had advocated for the resentencing, lost his re-election bid earlier this month. Gascón had argued that the brothers, who killed their parents José and Kitty in 1989 and claimed to be sexually abused by their father, had already served sufficient time for the crime. With Gascón’s departure, the brothers' fate now hinges on the position of the new district attorney, Nathan Hochman, who will be sworn in on Dec. 2. Hochman, a moderate, has promised to review the case thoroughly before making any decisions on resentencing, leaving the brothers to wait and see if they will receive the same treatment under the new administration.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has yet to grant clemency to Erik and Lyle Menendez, despite repeated petitions from their attorneys. The Democrat stated that he will allow newly elected District Attorney Nathan Hochman to review the case before making a decision on clemency. During a court session on Monday, Joan VanderMolen, the 92-year-old sister of Kitty Menendez, spoke out in support of the brothers, urging the judge to grant their release immediately. “I love Erik and Lyle and I want them to come home,” VanderMolen said, according to Variety. “They never knew if tonight would be the night they would be raped. It’s time for them to come home.” The Menendez brothers, who were convicted of killing their parents in 1989, have long claimed that they acted out of years of alleged sexual abuse at the hands of their father. Their fate now hinges on the review by Hochman, who will be sworn in on Dec. 2.
Drake Claims Label Should Have Refused to Release Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Instead of Letting Attack on His Character Go Viral
Drake argues that UMG, with its exclusive control over the licensing of Lamar’s work, had the option to block the song’s release or demand edits to remove the offensive content. Instead, he claims the label took the opposite approach: it designed, financed, and executed a plan to make "Not Like Us" a viral hit. According to the petition, this strategy was motivated by the label’s desire to generate consumer hysteria and maximize profits by capitalizing on the controversy surrounding the track. "UMG’s plan succeeded, likely beyond its wildest expectations," the petition states, pointing to the massive success of the song, which became a viral sensation and a key talking point in the music industry. The filing goes on to allege that the label's actions were intended to hurt Drake's businesses, leveraging the publicity surrounding the diss track for financial gain. In a separate bombshell claim, Drake also accused UMG of manipulating streaming data to artificially inflate the popularity of Lamar’s track while suppressing his own music. This, he asserts, further exacerbated the damage to his reputation, as Lamar’s song reached a wider audience than it would have through organic means. The lawsuit marks a significant escalation in the ongoing rivalry between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, who have had a tense relationship for years, with both artists regularly trading barbs in interviews and through their music. However, this legal action now brings the conflict into the courtroom, with Drake seeking justice not only for the harm done to his reputation but also for the financial losses he attributes to UMG's handling of the situation.
As of now, neither UMG nor Kendrick Lamar has issued a public response to the claims made in Drake's filing. The case is expected to unfold in the coming months, and the legal ramifications for both the artist and the label could be significant, depending on how the court addresses the allegations of defamation and corporate misconduct.
"I Should Have Shut the Party Down" – Conor McGregor Speaks After Jury Verdict in Sexual Assault Case
McGregor’s reaction was somewhat mixed. While expressing remorse for his own actions and personal failings, he stopped short of apologizing to Hand, instead focusing on his mistakes within his personal life. "People want to hear from me, I needed time," McGregor wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. "I know I made mistakes. Six years ago, I should have never responded to [Hand’s] outreaches. I should have shut the party down. I should never have stepped out on the woman I love the most in the world. That’s all on me." Despite his acknowledgment of these personal mistakes, McGregor continued to insist that everything that occurred that night was consensual. He pointed to the sworn testimony of witnesses who claimed there was mutual consent, maintaining that there was no assault.
McGregor also expressed regret over his infidelity with his longtime fiancée, Dee Devlin, with whom he shares four children. "I should never have stepped out on the woman I love the most in the world. That’s all on me," he said, offering a brief but clear apology for his actions against her. Looking forward, McGregor confirmed his intent to appeal the jury’s verdict. "As much as I regret it, everything that happened that night was consensual, and all the witnesses present swore to that under oath. I have instructed my legal team to appeal the decision," McGregor wrote. In his post, McGregor also took the opportunity to thank his family, friends, and supporters. Despite the legal fallout and the tarnished reputation, McGregor emphasized his gratitude to those who have stood by him through the ordeal. "I am beyond grateful to my family, friends, and supporters all over the world who have stayed by my side," he said. "That’s it. No more. Getting back to the gym—the fight game awaits!"
As McGregor prepares to move forward, the case continues to reverberate within the UFC world and beyond. The legal battle, however, is far from over, as McGregor plans to challenge the decision in court. Whether or not the outcome changes, his words of regret serve as a glimpse into his personal reflection, even as he continues to fight against the legal repercussions.
History Proves This Hidden Truth: Trusting White Women Is A Delusional Lost Cause
Written by SDWJR
“I like to appreciate outsourcing and other resources for exposing this truth."
The 47th President of the United States made a provocative statement about white women during an election rally, and it was impossible to ignore. He began his address with a blunt observation: “There’s a group called ‘White Dudes for Harris,’ but I’m not worried about them at all. Because their wives—and their wives’ lovers—are all voting for me,” Trump said. The crowd erupted in laughter, but the president didn’t. His demeanor suggested he wasn’t joking, and in doing so, he exposed a deeper cultural truth. He hinted at the private dynamics of a demographic often shrouded in secrecy—white women—and their unique relationship with power, privilege, and loyalty.
Trump’s statement wasn’t merely a punchline; it was a window into his understanding of historical and cultural patterns. According to him, white women are skilled at maintaining appearances. They can present themselves as champions of social justice and progressivism while simultaneously remaining loyal to the structures of white male dominance that benefit them.
White Women's Dual Allegiances
Historically, white women have played a complex role in America’s racial and social hierarchies. On the surface, they may appear to advocate for equity and fairness. Still, as Trump implied, their ultimate loyalty often aligns with the safety, status, and protection provided by white patriarchy. Many have endured and even accepted oppression or abuse from white men, finding solace in the societal privileges that whiteness affords.
This duality is no secret to Trump, who comes from and thrives within the culture of white supremacy. He understands that white women’s allegiance to whiteness and its power structures often supersedes any external appearance of rebellion or solidarity with marginalized groups. Despite scandals, criminal charges, credible accusations of sexual misconduct, or threats to women's rights—such as abortion bans—white women’s political loyalty has historically leaned toward preserving the systems that privilege them. This dynamic underscores the contradiction between their public outcry against injustice and their private complicity in maintaining oppressive structures.
A Historical Pattern of Power and Pretense
Activists and historians alike have long pointed out the performative nature of white women’s advocacy for social justice. International activist SDWJR describes white women as "masters of victimhood," leveraging their perceived vulnerability to uphold white male dominance. By adopting roles of innocence, weakness, or oppression, white women deflect accountability while reinforcing societal power imbalances.
SDWJR highlights the psychological toll this dynamic has had on marginalized groups. “White women’s behavior creates a barrier for other races to express themselves or confront their actions. Their victim role manipulates society into seeing them as beyond reproach, making those who challenge them feel like the aggressors,” he explains.
Loyalty to White Supremacy
The loyalty of white women to white supremacy is deeply rooted in America’s history. SDWJR recalls the infamous 1869 incident when suffragist Susan B. Anthony, angered by Black men gaining the right to vote before white women, declared, “I will cut off this right arm of mine before I will ever work for or demand the ballot for the Negro and not the woman.” This moment illustrates how white women’s allegiance to racial privilege often eclipses their commitment to gender equity. SDWJR argues that white women’s priorities have remained consistent through slavery, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, and into today’s political climate. “Their loyalty to white supremacy is unwavering because it rewards them with power. Even when their own rights are at stake, they will uphold the structures that prioritize whiteness,” he states.
A Warning to Marginalized Groups
For those seeking alliances with white women in the fight for equity, SDWJR offers a sobering reality: “White women will never sacrifice their societal privileges for the sake of racial justice. They only align with marginalized groups when it doesn’t threaten their own standing. Whiteness is their ultimate loyalty.” He concludes with a critical observation: “White women have never truly allied with marginalized groups when the cost involves a loss of their privileges. They run their homes, manage their roles, and navigate society with this in mind. From slavery to today, their allegiance to white supremacy has been clear and deliberate, even when it comes at the expense of their rights or others’ freedom.”
Final Thoughts
Trump’s comments, far from being mere jest, pulled back the curtain on a reality that many refuse to acknowledge. White women’s allegiance to whiteness and patriarchy is not a contradiction—it is their strategy for survival and power. For centuries, they have wielded their dual roles as victims and enforcers, perpetuating systems of oppression while masking their complicity behind a veil of innocence.
In understanding this, we confront an uncomfortable truth: without reckoning with this historical and cultural dynamic, efforts toward genuine equity and liberation will remain incomplete.
WHITE WOMEN FREAKY SIDE EXPOSED FOR BLACK MEN by SDWJR
Written by SDWJR
The hatred that white women harbor for Black men dates back to 1869 when Black men were first given power over white women. One of the most prominent white feminists, Susan B. Anthony, openly expressed her disdain for Black men when the 15th Amendment granted Black men the right to vote. They weren’t just disappointed—they were outraged that Black men would gain political power before white women. Their betrayal was loud, vicious, and unapologetic, rejecting solidarity with Black American men in favor of upholding white supremacy. Anthony herself famously declared, “I will cut off this right arm of mine before I will ever work or demand the ballot for the Negro and not the woman.” This level of commitment to white supremacy—so extreme that it led her to contemplate self-mutilation over the idea of equality—illustrates the deep-rooted racism and the unyielding nature of their fight to keep white women above Black men.
Anthony and Stanton, co-leaders of the women’s suffrage movement, didn’t hesitate to make their racism clear. They argued that educated white women deserved the vote far more than the “densely ignorant” Black male “Sambos.” In February 1869, they wrote in The Revolution: “The old anti-slavery school says women must stand back and wait until negroes shall be recognized. But we say, if you will not give the whole loaf of suffrage to the entire people, give it to the most intelligent first. If intelligence, justice, and morality are to have precedence in the government, let the question of the woman be brought up first and that of the negro last.” This illustrates how their feminism was rooted in whiteness, with a huge asterisk—only for women like them.
Their brand of feminism wasn’t about collective liberation but rather about preserving racial privilege. Anthony and Stanton weaponized white supremacy to push their agenda, prioritizing racial privilege over solidarity with Black men. They didn’t simply want equality for white women—they wanted white women’s superiority to be enshrined. The schism between white women’s rights and racial justice was no accident; it was deliberate. They were clear-eyed about their support for a racial hierarchy, advocating for white women as a “better class” of voters while pushing Black men aside. Fast forward more than 150 years, and we still live with the echoes of this historical betrayal, as white women’s voting behavior continues to prioritize racial and patriarchal privilege.
This was evident during Reconstruction when white women chose to uphold racial hierarchies instead of supporting Black suffragists. We saw it in the early 20th century when white women formed women’s branches of the Ku Klux Klan to preserve segregation. In the 1950s and 1960s, white mothers fought to preserve segregated schools, and in the 1970s and 1980s, they opposed school busing and integration efforts, prioritizing “neighborhood schools” over racial equality. In the 1990s, white women supported “tough-on-crime” policies that disproportionately harmed Black communities while making white suburban neighborhoods feel “safer.” This trend continued into the 2000s with the rise of the Tea Party, a political movement rooted in anti-government and racially coded rhetoric, with white women showing up in droves to support policies that targeted people of color.
So, why do so many white women continue to vote for figures who embody misogyny and sexual violence? It’s because they have historically been “constant gardeners” of white supremacy. During slavery, white women held intimate power over Black bodies, maintaining racial order while claiming innocence and virtue. They policed the boundaries between races, inflicted terror on Black women and children, and prepared their sons to perpetuate this hatred. This influence didn’t disappear after slavery; it evolved into support for segregation, resisting integration, and upholding white dominance. White women’s political choices are a calculated effort to maintain power. Their political behavior isn’t driven by being “pressured” by men, but rather by a strategic use of their position to mobilize white male violence against Black bodies. From Carolyn Bryant Donham’s false accusation leading to Emmett Till’s murder to white women calling the police on Black people for everyday activities, their weaponized cries have often resulted in state violence.
Today, white women’s tears and fragility serve as a cover for upholding a racial order that keeps them above Black, Brown, and immigrant communities. So, no, we shouldn’t be surprised. The question isn’t when white women will wake up and join the fight for equity—it’s when we will stop expecting them to. They have consistently shown that they will uphold the status quo if it ensures their comfort and safety. “Karen” didn’t emerge out of nowhere; she’s a historical figure who has always known how to defend her place in the pecking order, even if it means sacrificing someone else’s rights, freedom, or life.
"Intl Activist SDWJR: MLK Would Never Share His Day With Trump
“I cried for three days straight when I got the documents and read descriptions of what happened to her,” Mary told CNN. “I was drained, I just couldn’t function.” Federal documents reveal that on March 23, 1945, four police officers arrived at Hattie DeBardelaben’s home in Autaugaville, Alabama, under the pretense of searching for illegal whiskey. Despite her denial, the officers proceeded to search her home. During the raid, one officer struck her nephew, and when Hattie intervened, they turned their aggression on her, brutally beating her and knocking her into a pot of boiling water. Hattie and her youngest son, Edward, were then placed in a police car. She tragically died en route to the jailhouse. Testimony from an undertaker suggested her neck was broken during the violent encounter.
For nearly 80 years, the truth behind Hattie’s death remained shrouded in silence, leaving her descendants with unanswered questions. Her seven children, who witnessed the tragedy, never spoke of it, leaving her grandchildren to piece together the story from federal records. The Wash Post reached out to SDWJR, an internationally recognized activist, for comment. He criticized media outlets like The Root for failing to explicitly identify the officers as white in their reporting. “This is one of many hidden cold cases involving Black victims,” he stated. “Where are those horrific white killers? They must be held accountable and sentenced for the rest of their lives.”
"Intl Activist SDWJR: MLK Would Never Share His Day With Trump

Intl Activist SDWJR stated, “As an activist and someone who deeply understands the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., it is inconceivable that such a historic Black leader would consent to sharing his birthday with Donald Trump. Dr. King’s life and work represented love, justice, and unity, values completely at odds with Trump’s divisive rhetoric and policies. This day is sacred to millions of Black people across the world, and it should remain a day to honor Dr. King’s extraordinary contributions to justice and equality.”
SDWJR expressed strong disapproval of Trump’s inauguration coinciding with Martin Luther King Jr. Day, emphasizing the affront it represents to Black history. “To have a day dedicated to celebrating a man who changed the course of this country for Black people be overshadowed by the inauguration of someone whose views are diametrically opposed to his is a blatant attempt to diminish the value of Black leadership and history,” he remarked.
Dr. Bernice King, daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., struck a more diplomatic tone in her public statement. She acknowledged the stark contrast between her father’s ethos and Trump’s record but framed the coincidence as an opportunity for reflection. “The timing of the inauguration on MLK Day serves as a poignant reminder of the values my father stood for—unity, equality, and nonviolence. It challenges us to reflect on our leadership and the direction we are heading as a nation,” she said. However, SDWJR criticized this approach, suggesting that Bernice King’s response was influenced by the need to maintain donor support and financial backing. “Her hands are tied. Speaking against this decision would risk losing critical financial support, and that is something she cannot afford,” he stated.
SDWJR also warned of the long-term implications of this decision, suggesting that it undermines the recognition of Dr. King’s legacy. “By sharing this day, Black people will no longer see it solely as Martin Luther King Jr. Day but also as Donald Trump’s day. This sends a troubling message that White America is willing to rewrite history to suit its agenda, even if it means overshadowing the legacy of a man who fought tirelessly for justice,” he argued. While acknowledging Trump’s right to an inauguration, SDWJR remains firm in his belief that this significant day should remain dedicated to Dr. King. “Trump can celebrate his inauguration on any other day, but to have it fall on MLK Day is disrespectful and dishonors everything Dr. King stood for. This is yet another instance of White America getting what it wants, regardless of the impact on others,” he concluded. For many, the contrast between Trump’s inauguration and MLK Day is undeniable. Activists like SDWJR continue to challenge the systemic efforts to diminish the significance of Black leadership and remind the world of the enduring importance of Dr. King’s message.
After an unexpected outcome in the 2024 presidential election, where many women across America chose to support a leader who did not align with their agendas, Vice President Kamala Harris is keeping her political aspirations alive. As her term concludes in January, Harris has hinted at her next steps, stating, “I am staying in the fight.” However, she has not explicitly confirmed her plans, leaving much speculation about her future in politics.
Sources close to Harris have indicated that she is seriously considering a run for governor of California in 2026, following the conclusion of Governor Gavin Newsom’s term. Additionally, Harris has expressed interest in making a presidential comeback in 2028. Critics, however, argue that pursuing both offices may not be feasible and question the viability of her dual ambitions. While her future moves remain uncertain, Harris continues to position herself as a significant player in the Democratic Party, with her decisions closely watched by supporters and skeptics alike.

"CEO of AllHere Education Joanna Smith-Griffin Charged with Defrauding Investors"
Click this link
Joanna Smith-Griffin, the 33-year-old CEO of AllHere Education, a company recognized in Forbes' "30 Under 30" for its AI startup, has been charged with defrauding investors out of millions of dollars. According to U.S. Attorney Damian Williams of the Southern District of New York, Smith-Griffin "orchestrated a deliberate and calculated scheme to deceive investors, inflating the company’s financials to secure millions of dollars under false pretenses." Williams emphasized that the law does not tolerate those who allegedly manipulate financial realities for personal gain.
Smith-Griffin, who gained attention for her lavish wedding, is now facing potential prison time. The extravagant event has sparked online speculation, with many questioning the source of funds for such an opulent celebration. SDWJR, an international activist based in New York, shared his thoughts on the situation, stating, "When will our Black leaders recognize the traps set up to bring them down? There’s no way she didn’t know they were watching her. Once they spot you on Forbes, they’re keeping track of everything. The FBI or ‘Fed’ didn’t just appear by accident; they’ve been targeting Black leaders for years, and this is no surprise to me."
Smith-Griffin, who founded AllHere Education, was arrested in North Carolina and faces charges of securities fraud, wire fraud, and identity theft. Prosecutors allege that she misled investors by falsely claiming millions in revenue and contracts with major school districts, including the New York City Department of Education, which prosecutors say never existed.
Homeless man’s alleged killing spree exposes NYC’s ‘whole rotten system’
The Wash Post
WFRV Green BayWAUPACA, Wis. (WFRV) – On Friday, a judge sentenced Scott Farmer, the man convicted of killing four siblings in a wrong-way drunken driving crash on U.S. Highway 10 last winter. Farmer was sentenced to 37-and-a-half years in prison for his fifth operating while intoxicated offense and homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle. Farmer will be placed on extended supervision for over 20 years should he be released from prison in his lifetime. Farmer was credited for 342 days. Wisconsin authorities investigate juvenile’s social media post on potential school threat The crash occurred when Farmer, driving west in the eastbound lane, collided head-on with another vehicle. The victims, Daniel (25), Fabian (23), Lilian (14), and Daniela (9) Gonzalez, were out for their regular Saturday dinner at Culver’s after a shopping trip. Fabian, Lilian, and Daniela died at the scene, while Daniel succumbed to his injuries shortly after arriving at the hospital. The sentencing hearing on Thursday included several hours of witness impact statement from the victims’ family. Their mother Paulina, stepfather Kurt Schilling, brother Jorge, and cousin Luis all spoke. All four speakers talked about their memories of the siblings and how the crash has impacted the family. They said Daniel and Fabian were extremely hard working and disciplined and worked 50+ hour weeks at a local dairy farm. The brothers were great musicians and very supportive of their other siblings. The speakers said Lillian was looking forward to having her quinceañera in Ecuador and aspired to be a teacher someday. They said the youngest Daniela was full of life with an amazing smile and enjoyed cheerleading. Daniela loved to work on art projects and spend time with her older siblings.
Homeless man’s alleged killing spree exposes NYC’s ‘whole rotten system’
The Wash Post
CNNTall and disheveled, with a scraggly salt-and-pepper beard, Ramon Rivera was just one month out of jail when he approached a construction worker early Monday and fatally stabbed him without saying a word, police said. He was not done, police said. An urban nightmare was unfolding on a mild autumn morning in New York. The 51-year-old made his way across Manhattan and, more than two hours later, police and prosecutors said, he fatally stabbed a fisherman and then a woman sitting on a park bench. His clothes covered in blood, Rivera was arrested shortly after the third attack with two bloody kitchen knives in his possession, according to police. New York City Mayor Eric Adams described Rivera as a homeless man with a criminal history and “severe mental health issues,” an example of failures of the criminal justice and mental health systems. The seemingly random killings highlight the challenges confronting New York City and other municipalities across the country as they maneuver a delicate balancing act – how to deal with soaring homelessness and mental illness and its perceived – and actual – impact on public safety. “We always hear something is being done but nothing changes, and every six months something unthinkable happens,” said Mary Brosnahan, who for three decades led the Coalition for the Homeless, an advocacy and service organization. “And that’s what gives everybody a sense of insecurity.”
A White Man Pleads Guilty in the Shooting of a Black Teen — but Not for Killing Him
The Wash Post
The WrapJFor more than two years, Megan Reed has awaited some form of justice for her son, Sinzae. The 13-year-old was shot and killed just yards from the front door of his home by a man who says he opened fire in self-defense even though, police say, there is no evidence that the child had a weapon. Reed’s wait came to an end on Friday — but perhaps not in the way that she hoped. Prosecutors in Franklin County, Ohio, this week began presenting their case against Krieg Allen Butler, 38, who has been charged with weapons offenses, but — to the disappointment of Reed and local activists — not homicide. Before the jury could deliberate, Butler decided to plead guilty to both charges in the two count indictment in exchange for a less severe punishment. He faced up to 4½ years in prison, but instead prosecutors said they plan to recommend six months in jail followed by three years of probation. He is scheduled to be formally sentenced on Dec. 2, when Reed and members of Sinzae’s family will get the opportunity to address Butler. Prosecutors also said in a statement that Butler has agreed to testify in the event that anyone ever is charged in connection with Reed’s death. For Black residents here, the handling of the case feels all too familiar. Local advocates for criminal justice reform have said that there has long been an unequal standard for justice when suspects are white and victims are Black, as in the Butler case. But community activists are encouraged that their quest for equity may have taken a significant step forward earlier this month with the election of a Black woman, Shayla Favor, as Franklin County’s chief prosecutor. Favor has expressed a commitment to making the system fairer. “I am quite humbled that the residents of Franklin County have elected me,” Favor, 43, said in a recent interview with Capital B. “They believed in the vision that I ran on. I had a highly contested primary. And so, it feels like we finished this round, and now we’re on to the next, the next battle that’s before us.” Reed’s hope for justice, however, is tempered by the track record of unsolved homicide cases in Columbus, Ohio. Many investigations have gone cold in the city — which has a 56% homicide clearance rate since 1965 — with the perpetrators remaining unidentified, especially in 2021 when homicides hit an all-time high. Residents say this is a familiar pattern for Franklin County, particularly in cases involving law enforcement — and particularly when those cases involve Black victims.
Kanye West Sued for Sexual Assault, Strangulation by ‘America’s Next Top Model’ Star Hired for 2010 Music Video
The Wash Post
The WrapJenn An, a former contestant on “America’s Next Top Model,” sued Kanye “Ye” West for an alleged incident of sexual assault and strangulation that took place in 2010 on the set for a music video for La Roux’s “In for the Kill.” The music video was filmed “on or about Sept. 7, 2010” in a suite at the Chelsea Hotel in New York City. An states that West chose her to be one of the female background actors and models, saying, “Give me the Asian girl.” She claims she told the rapper, “I’m not wearing very much,” to which he is said to have replied, “That’s why I chose you.” The suit, as obtained and reviewed by TheWrap, states that she was “only wearing revealing lingerie.” West is said to have ordered the other background actors and models to leave and “[began] filming the sexual assault to which he was about to subject Plaintiff.” An said that West strangled her with both hands, then “rammed several fingers down her throat, continuously moved them in and out, and gagged her (which Plaintiff believed lasted for over a minute) to emulate forced oral sex, and screamed, ‘This is art. This is f–king art. I am like Picasso.'” Interscope and Universal Music Group are also named in the suit, which was filed in New York Friday, for allegedly enabling West to “gag Plaintiff on a music video set, without consequence.”
Sean Combs bail ruling to come next week:

Yahoonew!He has pleaded not guilty to all charges, and his criminal trial is currently slated to begin on May 5, 2025.Judges have already denied Combs bail twice, and prosecutors have alleged in opposing the third bid that the rapper and producer has contacted witnesses and used unauthorized communications platforms while incarcerated.Music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, who has been charged with sex trafficking and racketeering, appeared in court Friday again seeking bail, but a judge deferred the decision to next week, US media reported.Prosecutors have previously indicated there is still more evidence to explore and that more charges could be added to the indictment against Combs. Public allegations have been building against the Grammy winner since late last year, when singer Cassie, whose real name is Casandra Ventura, alleged Combs subjected her to more than a decade of coercion by physical force and drugs as well as a 2018 rape.
HEY! I DON'T LIKE WHITE PEOPLE
By SDWJR
Paying keen attention to every details, as many would say, can save you a lifetime of headaches. A saying that, to me, is not just a partial truth but a full and undeniable one. Expanding on this, one of my favorite sayings comes to mind: "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." A profound truth that requires no further embellishment - or does it? Hold up! What could I possibly add to such a perfect quote that hasn't already been said? If I were to rewrite it, to make it mine, to make it resonate even more deeply with what I'm about to express, I'd say this: "The apple doesn't fall far from its roots." There's something about the word roots that dives deeper, striking the core of everything. Roots give life to the apple, anchoring the tree to the ground, ensuring that every piece of fruit is born from a foundation of truth - good or bad. What could anyone say to deflect that? To oppose it? To be defensive about it? It is, without question, the nail meeting the hammer in perfect alignment. Undeniable. Undefeated. It's a truth as unyielding as Floyd Mayweather's record or as ruthlessly decisive as Mike Tyson in his prime.
When the truth is this clear, there's no room for contradiction, no space for debate. Enough said. Let's jump into the ruthless subject at hand - a topic that I know will carry a thousand interpretations. Why? Because we live in a society where people rarely read the full story. Instead, they skim, pluck out whatever fits their narrative, and spread it across the world with the speed of a pandemic. Do I question whether such individuals are smart or intelligent? Never. Their actions speak louder than their intentions, leading me to conclude one thing: Insecurity will forever be their portion. I DON'T LIKE WHITE PEOPLE. Let's sit with that sentence for a moment. Just that one statement. No explanation, no elaboration - just a period at the end. Dead serious. Now, imagine the uproar it would cause if left like this - no room for daylight, growth, or clarity.
In the society we live in, partial truths, self-serving truths, or outright lies have more gravity than the full story. And the person - me - who dared to write those words would likely be labeled with the worst names imaginable. This is the custom of our culture, isn't it? Cancel culture. But let's be honest - cancel culture isn't just about the word itself. It's about people. People who are often objectively ignorant or too wrapped up in their emotional reactions to pause, reflect, or calculate the consequences of their judgment. People who cast stones at anyone or anything that offends their sensibilities, often without fully understanding the context. Again, I DON'T LIKE WHITE PEOPLE.
Take me on a journey with you for a moment. If I came across a book titled "I Don't Like Black People," written by someone who isn't Black, my reaction would not be to burn it or cancel its author. No. My reaction would be, "Take me on a journey, Mr. or Mrs. Author!" It would become a retreat for me - a chance to understand a perspective so bold that it dares to write against the grain of societal norms, knowing the stones waiting to be thrown. Because, you see, not many writers are willing to take that risk. Not many are bold enough to say the unspeakable, to step into the storm and come out with something meaningful. As a writer myself - a ruthless one - I admire that kind of audacity. Writers like that create work worth retreating into, worth debating, worth understanding. So yes, I don't mind being on a retreat with such a writer. In fact, I welcome it.
I was in a library in Brooklyn not too long ago, focused on one of my coding studies, when an undercover officer blatantly accused me by saying, "This man doesn't like white people." It happened in the middle of a library where everyone else was quietly doing what you'd normally expect in such a setting. At first, I thought it was just an absurd outburst. But as I observed the situation more closely, it became clear that it was a setup. The people seated around me weren't just ordinary library-goers - they were actors, playing their roles alongside the main person who made the statement. Instantly, I got into character myself and responded boldly, "I don't like white people - and now what?" If this was some sort of performance meant to provoke or expose me, I decided I'd play along and let the world see the full episode.
After all, if this was a "circuit," why not push it into the mainstream? You might wonder how I knew she was an undercover officer. She works as a police officer at one of the courthouses downtown, a place I've been too many times. She has always seemed to have an issue with me - along with those who look like her - assuming that my demeanor or approach toward her was evidence of my supposed dislike for white people. Her decision to pull that stunt in a library caught me off guard, but I'm not new to surprises. I've learned that if you always stay ready, you'll never have to get ready.What would you think of a white woman who, within a few months of knowing her, gets you sent to jail for the first time in your life? How would you feel about a woman who tells a judge that you wanted to hurt or kill her while she was inside your apartment? What would you say about such a woman who claims you held a gun to her head, stole her cell phone, and left her unable to call the police? Imagine being accused by the same woman of brutally beating her, with supposed bruises as proof, and then finding yourself locked up on what was meant to be one of the most significant days of your life - your birthday or close to it. How would it feel to be handcuffed for the first time, as a Black man, under those circumstances? What would run through your mind? What would be your reaction to such actions coming from a white woman? This is where it gets even more interesting for me.
I wasn't even there when this entire plot was fabricated. I was on my way to my apartment downtown - a property I owned. As I approached, I noticed a swarm of police cars in front of the building. Confused, I wondered what was happening. Then, I learned they were there for me. The accusations? All made by a white woman who not only made up those false claims but conveniently left out the one thing she had said to me before: "You'll never marry me because I'm white." That part was conveniently omitted in her story, and it was the unspoken truth behind why I found myself arrested for the first time in my life. Being handcuffed and taken to jail for no legitimate reason - on a day that was supposed to be meaningful - left a mark on me that I'll never forget. The same white woman stood before the judge with what she claimed were bruises she had gotten from me.
Her entire family was present in the courtroom, ready to validate whatever accusations she had brought forward. I scanned the room. The jury was entirely white, my lawyer was white, and the only exception was the judge - an Asian woman who happened to be the same judge from Derek Chauvin's trial in Minneapolis, MN, after the murder of George Floyd. I thought to myself, This can't be happening. This can't be the first time I join the chorus of so many Black voices across America saying, "I DON'T LIKE WHITES." I sat there, waiting patiently for the photo to be displayed on the screen for everyone in the courtroom to see. When the image finally appeared, I was stunned. It was the most horrifying picture I'd ever seen. The woman in the photo was severely beaten, her entire face unrecognizable, her eyes covered in blood. It was a grotesque image of violence - one that couldn't be further from reality.
As a young Black man surrounded by white jurors and spectators, I could feel the weight of their judgment in their stares. They looked at me like I was a monster, capable of such unspeakable brutality. I thought to myself, God, forgive me! This white bitch must be sick or mentally unstable to do this to herself! It was At that moment I realized the magnitude of what was happening. This wasn't just an attack on me - it was an attack on Black men everywhere. This woman wasn't just attempting to ruin my life; she was perpetuating a stereotype, pinning a false narrative on every Black man in America. I became defensive, overwhelmed with anger and disbelief, and stood up in the courtroom. I said, "I need the photo or video from the day of my arrest - that will prove my point since this white judge of mine isn't saying anything," I demanded. That moment marked the first time my perspective shifted, the first time I used the word white to separate myself and my race from others. I insisted on those tapes and videos being used as evidence because I had no choice but to represent myself.
This case could have put me behind bars for many years, despite my clean record, or sent the wrong message about me as a young, rising activist, businessman, and entertainer. "I need those tapes or videos right now!" I declared. That demand redirected the case to where it needed to be. Then, a white female officer took the stand and made a bold statement that changed the atmosphere in the courtroom. She said, "This picture isn't what I saw when I spoke with the young lady. I was the one gathering her complaints, and at that time, there were no bruises, no injuries - nothing close to what's shown in this photo." I watched as she began crying uncontrollably in the courtroom. Overwhelmed, I stood up and shouted, "THIS IS SOME RACIST SHIT HAPPENING IN THIS COURTROOM! THIS WHITE WOMAN IS TRYING TO PIN A FALSE CRIME ON A BLACK MAN WHO ISN'T A CRIMINAL.I DONT WANT HER, AND I WILL NEVER MARRY HER. I REST MY CASE!" I left the courthouse that day with a single, resolute thought: I don't like white people.
Apart from that incident, I am constantly targeted by white police officers. In one year alone, I was stopped 67 times. In Atlanta, 50 white officers drew their guns on me, claiming I had a weapon inside a white-owned business - which I didn't. Another time, a white officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, attacked me for supposedly playing loud music. In reality, the issue was that I was driving an all-black-on-black Impala with 30-inch rims. In Chicago, I was arrested while on my way to perform as a DJ and detained for a full 24 hours - for no reason whatsoever. In Burnsville, white police officers accused me of a hit-and-run without any proof. Officers have even broken into my home, falsely claiming they had noticed me gathering guns, drugs, and other substances.
None of this was true - I've never engaged in any of those activities. There was even a time when my young daughter and I were arrested and put in jai. To me, it felt like the cost of being an activist. Throughout my life, I have been arrested, detained, and harassed by white officers, and it still happens to this day - for no valid reason.
White-owned businesses have also frequently called the police on me - this has been a near-constant experience for almost my entire life or, at the very least, half of my time in America. To this day, white people calling the police on me has become something I've sadly come to expect. I've taken some of these incidents to court so many times that one judge eventually stated in frustration, "I don't want to see this young man ever in my courtroom again, and those who keep calling the police on him must stop. These racist calls and false claims are costing time and money." There are countless incidents I could recount. One unforgettable one occurred at the airport. A car cut me off, came to a stop, and the driver gave me the middle finger. Then, to my disbelief, police were called on me. I happened to be driving in the same direction as someone else.
I was heading to the Mall of America, as I often do. It's a place where I go to read, study, walk around, eat, observe how security treats Black people, and occasionally shop. While driving, I noticed flashing lights in my rearview mirror from a distance. Soon, the lights were right behind my car. I pulled over on the freeway, and a white police officer approached me. He said, "A white woman called us and claimed that you're following her. I'm going to arrest you for harassment of a citizen. I'll have your car towed, and I'm taking you to jail." I responded, "You're definitely out of your mind. Are you seriously telling me I'm going to jail because a white person called and said this Black man is following them? Do you even hear how ridiculous that sounds?"
I added, "I don't mind going to jail, but I do mind having my car towed. If you could allow me to call someone to pick it up, that would be fine." We waited for a while until another officer, the superior, arrived at the scene. The superior said, "Sir, you can go now." I replied, "I don't mind going to jail. I can wait for my car to be taken away if that's the procedure." The superior insisted, "You can leave, sir!" In conclusion, I have a legitimate right to say that I don't like white people, and I don't need anyone to grant me that right - I claim it without a shadow of a doubt. These events occurred with various white people at different times and in multiple places across this country. As a human being, I have the right to draw my own conclusions, shaped by my unique experiences. These experiences shape, form, and define who we are, giving each of us the ability to judge or reach conclusions about certain groups or individuals. For instance, when studies or surveys are conducted, they often lead to conclusions that paint black Americans in a negative light. Those data points and surveys become the lens through which others view black communities, based on their own experiences during that period. Similarly, my conclusions are based on my unique encounters with a specific group of people.
Do I need anyone's validation? Should I care what others think? Does it matter if someone disagrees with me? Absolutely not. Label me however you wish - will it change my perspective or alter my experiences? Hell no! Am I entitled to feel the way I do about white people and white businesses? Hell yes! With all my T's crossed, and I's dotted, I can confidently say: I DON'T LIKE WHITE PEOPLE. INTRODUCTION Never asked me to explain myself or retrieve my worldview or my personal deep experiences or struggles. It is what defines me, shapes me, makes me, and propels me to be the man I am and where I am at. I will not change it for the World. I stand by everything I have penned on this paper. You are in for a ruthless awakening, and I don't tell you how to feel about what is written. However, whatever is written, I have written. It doesn't change. I have written and enjoy the ride!
Cheating on Your Spouse Used to Be a Crime – Who Knows About That in America?
Never accuse the writer of penning down truths that have been scarce or obscured—truths that many have been denied access to due to the scarcity of understanding. As humans strive to fulfill their innermost desires, especially after accumulating wealth or material success, their desires often infiltrate and pervert the moral laws and systems that once guided their actions. People began asking, "Why must our desires be confined? Why should we be controlled by laws that obstruct us from doing whatever we want?" These outcries came from individuals or groups with certain rights and connections, who were able to influence those in power—lawmakers who could change or enforce laws to serve their desires. Without hesitation, those moral laws were erased, for those in power were engaging in—or at least felt the need to engage in—these very acts. It was clear that the demand to remove these moral laws was an easy decision for them.
But what about the consequences of such desires? Cravings that damage families, leaving broken hearts and wounds that may never fully heal. These actions, driven by selfishness, result in a society where pain is passed from one person to the next—a domino effect of hurtful people hurting others. Retaliation becomes the new norm, as those who hurt others justify their actions because they’ve been hurt too. We may not realize it, but cheating on your spouse in New York City was once a serious crime that could land someone behind bars for an extended period. Back in the day, adultery wasn’t just a betrayal of trust; it was a criminal offense. If you were married and cheated on your spouse, you risked losing everything. The law was clear: the unfaithful partner lost it all—the spouse who was cheated on got everything, while the one who strayed faced a long prison sentence. Some people even served years without parole.
For those of us born into this era of freedom, where cheating is often seen as a personal choice rather than a crime, this might sound absurd. “What? They put people in jail for having sex with others?” It feels like a violation of personal rights, doesn’t it? After all, it’s your body, and you should have the right to do whatever you want with it, right? Some may dismiss it as an old-fashioned mindset, thinking, "Thank God we’re not living like that anymore!" But that line of thinking, driven by self-gratification, has led many down paths they never expected.The moral laws that once existed kept the fabric of relationships and families intact. They taught couples how to work through their problems, without the temptation of finding an escape or filling a void as we do today. Those laws were in place for the same reasons we face problems in this generation. Don’t wonder why you feel broken before you experience betrayal or infidelity. Instead of constantly worrying about your spouse cheating on you, the presence of moral laws gave couples the focus and direction they needed to build lifelong bonds. In earlier times, marriage was seen as a lifelong commitment, not just because of the laws imposed on people, but because individuals entered relationships for love—not because they lacked self-love, weren’t afraid of loneliness, or sought to fill emotional voids. They married because of love. The law wasn’t the reason marriages lasted; love was.
Now, in this new generation, where we have no such moral laws imposed upon us, we often forget what love truly means. We cheat for the sake of cheating, and many of us see it as a part of life, as though it’s just part of being human. But real maturity involves growing from one stage of life to the next, from childhood to adulthood. Yet, too many of us remain stuck in childish behavior, even as we enter adulthood. Will we continue to live in this cycle? That’s up to you to decide. Whenever morality is thrown out of a society, the results are disastrous. It creates a culture of brokenness, emptiness, sorrow, loneliness, promiscuity, selfishness, anger, retaliation, division, and fractured homes. Ultimately, it leads to generational curses, as the brokenness is passed down to the next generation. Look at what’s happening in our society today.
“The absence of doing things the right way is our sentence for doing things the wrong way. It costs us, whether we exchange the moral for the immoral.” —SDWJR
Tragedy in Las Vegas: When Calling 911 Turns Fatal
Written THE WASH POST
In an incident that has left a Las Vegas community reeling, a 43-year-old father was shot and killed in his home by a police officer after calling 911 for help. Brandon Durham, who was with his 15-year-old daughter at the time, reported shots fired and a break-in at his residence, but his plea for assistance ended in his death at the hands of the very authorities meant to protect him. The early hours of November 12 brought chaos to Wine River Drive, where neighbors called 911 alongside Durham, describing broken windows, damaged cars, and sounds of screaming. When Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officers arrived, they found a heated confrontation between Durham and Alejandra Boudreaux, a woman he reportedly knew, struggling over a knife. What followed has sparked outrage and demands for justice.
A Deadly Encounter
Body camera footage released by the police shows Officer Alexander Bookman kicking in the door to Durham’s home. Witnessing the struggle between Durham and Boudreaux, Bookman shouted commands to drop the knife before firing his weapon once. This initial shot caused both individuals to fall to the ground. However, Bookman then fired five additional shots at Durham, killing him. The arrest report revealed a chilling detail: after the gunfire, Boudreaux reportedly told the officer, “You shot the wrong person.” Boudreaux, who allegedly broke into Durham’s home, has since been arrested, but the focus remains on the fatal decision made by Officer Bookman.
The Questions We Must Ask
This tragedy forces us to confront difficult questions about law enforcement's role in high-stress situations. Why was lethal force deemed necessary, especially when the identity of the threat was unclear? Could non-lethal options have de-escalated the situation? And most pressing, what safeguards are in place to prevent further tragedies like this one? The Durham family's grief is compounded by their demand for accountability. They believe Officer Bookman should face criminal charges for his actions. Meanwhile, Bookman’s attorney insists that no crime was committed, framing the incident as a tragic consequence of a chaotic situation.
Accountability and Change
This case underscores a systemic issue: the need for improved police training and accountability. Officers are often placed in volatile situations where split-second decisions have life-altering consequences. Yet, those decisions must be guided by rigorous training and a commitment to preserving life whenever possible. The Durham family’s call for justice is not just about Brandon. It’s a demand for a system that values human life above all else, ensuring that 911 callers seeking help are not met with fatal outcomes.
As this case unfolds, it serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for reform in how law enforcement responds to domestic crises. Lives depend on it. This story is a call to action for communities, policymakers, and law enforcement agencies to reevaluate practices and ensure tragedies like Brandon Durham's do not become the norm.
Dress Me Up for Whites Pleasure, Then Nut Me Up with No Treasure

Click to Watch on YoutubeWe are mandated to structure the message, and while doing so, we must not tamper with the pleasure of those providing the resources to sustain us. As long as the stage remains clear and emotions are kept in check, we are granted everything needed to operate as an organization. But don’t tell the man who wears a dress that he isn’t genuine or that he’s living a lie. Don’t tell others that their sexuality is offensive or unacceptable. Yet, we shape our messages to align with the ideals of those who wear the dress or identify as gay, lesbian, or LGBTQ+
What’s the difference between those who are supposed to teach truth but cannot because the people funding them are the very ones wearing the dress, identifying as gay, homosexual, lesbian, transgender, or LGBTQ+? Where can we find the house of morality, the church of morals, or an organization grounded in principles? Since when did the pursuit of “Benjamins” — money — replace the standard of truth or moral values? Everyone is chasing or settling for the Benjamin, succumbing to an instant gratification culture that places us all on a path of self-destruction. Welcome to a place where you can be whatever you want to be, yet those encouraging your choices are using your decisions for their pleasure without giving you the treasure you desire. I have always felt the need to call out white America for its role in destroying masculinity and Black manhood. It was never a reality I expected to witness — Black men acting out of character, embracing femininity. It’s disturbing to the eyes, the mind, and everything else that comes with it. But for white America, this is a source of pleasure — a victory every time a Black man carries himself as a female.
Their most desired outcome is to see the Black race depleted, discredited, looked down upon, and disgraced. They’ve found countless ways to humiliate, damage, and dismantle Black culture. Removing men from the household has yielded significant results for their agenda. “We can’t give you any benefits if you have a man in the household,” they say. As a result, children grow up identifying as gay, leaving parents to wonder: How is this possible? Where did this come from? These questions must be directed at the system, the only entity capable of providing complete answers. There is nothing fascinating about seeing a Black man in a dress, walking or talking like a woman. Say what you want, bring up biology or identity, and I’ll give you one reason why they like you this way: you’re a pleasure to their eyes, but you’ll never be a treasure. Go ahead and be gay, but remember this: white America sees you as their pleasure, never their treasure.
ALL ASSHOLES! THEY MADE HER AN ASSHOLE - BY SDWJR
I had planned to attend Project 1619 at a library in Brooklyn, scheduling it well in advance. The only reason I didn't go is the very reason I am writing this now. Let's read and unpack it. Thank you.
Hesitant. Hesitant! Say what you will or think what you will about what I'm about to delve into. Hesitant as I am, I approach this with a mix of caution and a willingness to confront my own hesitation. Can anyone truly shy away from themselves? I haven't seen it - at least not in the best or worst of us. We are always caught up in who we are and what's happening around us. Hesitation is an emotional wave crashing within, relentless as the ocean on the shore. Everything in me feels on edge, as if the world is waiting to ask, "What is this hesitation really about?"
Plans are made, laid out in stages, and executed with hope. But hope is uncertain - it either leads to fruition or fades into nothingness. People put forward their best ideas, pouring in time, money, effort, and even tangible backing, only to find out it's all a lie. It's all a setup, sometimes even by those we trust or those who have walked the same path. Were they real? Did they believe in you, or were they playing their own roles for their benefit? Did anyone speak the hard truths, or was it all a game, leaving you to discover the bitter reality too late?
In times of crisis, it becomes painfully difficult to see who is truly in your corner. When money and fame are at stake, attention often shifts from the person at the center to what they bring or produce. The main character becomes secondary as everything revolves around the power and wealth they generate. In a world of shifting priorities, what remains is a hollow "hello," where people greet your potential only to exploit it and leave you behind.
As hesitant as I am to say this, I feel compelled to share: Kamala Harris wasn't going to win, and everyone around her knew it. They saw it, they knew it, and they remained silent. I wrestle with the question - when were they going to tell her she couldn't win? Why didn't someone confront her with the truth? If someone had, maybe she would have stopped relying on flawed advice and stepped into her authenticity, finding her own way forward. Maybe she would have said, "If this is the challenge I face, I'll go forward as myself and forge a new path."
Kamala Harris's advisory team, predominantly white - including her husband - lacked the depth and perspective to truly support her. Let's not ignore the obvious: many likely saw her as an opportunity, a tool for their gain. Within a week, her campaign reportedly brought in billions. Who benefited? Who stayed silent while she struggled? Did anyone truly care about her chances, or were they more invested in their own interests?
If someone had told her the hard truth, "This strategy won't work, and you need to rely on your authentic self," she might have run a campaign fueled by her own voice and vision. She might have given everything she had, earning the trust of voters in a way that couldn't be ignored. Instead, she was let down by those who should have supported her, and the loss blindsided her.
This is why I withdrew from Project 1619. I can't sit in rooms that pretend to be about progress but only create false atmospheres of change. I refuse to be part of spaces where people smile at us, claiming to offer platforms, while quietly ensuring we remain under their control. My decision was not just about this project - it reflects the disillusionment I've seen in moments like Kamala Harris's loss and the systems that failed her.
STAY ON YOUR MEDS — HIS TRUE EXPERIENCE IN WHITE AMERICA by SDWJR
A recent discovery left me stunned — a data point revealing that almost all Americans are on medication. This revelation was a shock to me, and a wake-up call to transition from a Liberian mindset to an American one. It was like being told to exchange my lens for one that fits where I am now. There’s a saying: “If you’re German, act like the Germans.” While I won’t disclose who this story is about, I’ll use our interactions as an example.
We met under normal circumstances, the way most relationships begin. We started dating, and in the beginning, everything seemed fine. It wasn’t extraordinary, but nothing stood out as troubling. As time went on, though, I noticed changes — at first, a sense of being lost for reasons I couldn’t pinpoint. Then, agitation became more regular. Over time, I observed shifts in mood and even irregular behaviors, none of which I could understand.
We were living together by this point, and though I couldn’t figure out what was happening, I kept an eye on her. One day, I asked if everything was okay. She assured me it was and explained that these changes were just part of who she was and not due to anything specific. I told her I was there to listen if she ever wanted to talk, but she never opened up.
It wasn’t until we visited her parents that I learned the truth. During a casual group conversation, her mother mentioned that she was on psychological medication to help regulate her focus and behavior. Without her meds, her symptoms would resurface, causing the irregularities I had noticed. When her mother said, “Stay on your meds,” everything clicked for me. My partner and I exchanged a look that said it all.
That moment left me reflecting on my own perceptions and experiences. Growing up in Liberia, I had never encountered such a concept. Medication wasn’t something anyone around me depended on to function. In my home, school, community, and relationships, there was no mention of needing meds to get through the day, to stay focused, or to maintain emotional balance. It simply wasn’t part of our culture or coping mechanisms. Life’s challenges were met with resilience and resourcefulness, not prescriptions.
Now, here I am in America, the greatest country in the world, still holding onto my Liberian mindset. I saw people as they appeared — high-functioning individuals who seemed perfectly capable under pressure. I never suspected that some of them might rely on medication to help them navigate daily life. Terms like “mood swings” didn’t register with me as they might for others. My upbringing didn’t include labeling behaviors or attributing them to medication use.
One reason it took me so long to adjust my perspective is that I’ve never been on medication myself. Since birth, I’ve never needed or been prescribed anything, nor has anyone in my family. Medication simply wasn’t a topic of discussion or necessity in our household.
But in this new environment, I realize how blind I’ve been. In America, people can look polished, successful, and composed, yet some may rely on medication to maintain that balance. How could I have known? How can anyone know? There are no obvious signs, no clear markers. These individuals function at a high level, leaving no indication of any dependency.
Even now, I find it difficult to detect whether someone is on medication. I’ve come to understand that telling someone to “stay on your meds” isn’t just advice — it’s essential for their well-being and the stability of their relationships.
“Stay on your meds — it’s what keeps a man or woman steady. I’m dead serious. Stop getting traded.”

NOT LIKE US! MANY ‘SHITHOLE’ INDIVIDUALS, HOOD RATS, AND YOUR ‘NIGGAS’ VOTED FOR DONALD TRUMP By SDWJR: By Intl Activist SDWJR
Who would have thought that people who use terms like “shithole” to insult others would themselves receive so much love and support? It’s almost as if those being called “shithole people” from “shithole countries” don’t see it as the insult we all assume it is. Maybe to them, these words carry a sense of strength, even a twisted kind of pride. “Is it really just another word for greatness to them? I’m just saying.” It might explain why white individuals on social media get a pass for using these terms and sometimes are even celebrated for it. I’ve seen it repeatedly, both online and in person — white people shouting “go back to your shithole country” to anyone they think is from the Caribbean or other so-called “shithole places.” First-Hand Experiences with Insults Once, in Manhattan, some NYPD officers told me I should “go back to Haiti.” “Go back to your shithole country,” one of them sneered. I laughed it off because, well, I’m not from the Caribbean, but people often assume I am based on how I look. I don’t mind, though, because it lets me connect with people from those places. “WE ALL INTO THIS SHIT HOLES FIGHT, AND NAMES CALLING.” SDWJR….. “They were at the forefront voting for Donald Trump, who has consistently labeled them ‘shitholes from shithole countries.’ He has been extremely vocal about it, and even songs have been made about this issue. ‘They’re killing the cats, and they’re killing the dogs, and white people are running for their lives,’” Trump once said. The “Hood Rat” Label Then there’s the label “hood rat.” If you know the real meaning, it might make your blood boil — boil to the extent that you start wondering if people will ever get it right someday. A “hood rat” lives in an underprivileged part of the city, an area often populated by minority groups due to economic, social, and legal pressures. And if someone calls you this name, they’re not just talking about where you live — they’re marking you as a stereotype, a fixture in what they see as a “ghetto.” The Roots of the Word “Ghetto” The term “ghetto” has a long, painful history. Originally from the Italian word “ghèto,” meaning foundry, it referred to an area in Venice where Jewish residents were restricted. Over time, it spread to describe neighborhoods where marginalized communities were forced to live due to poverty or prejudice. Now in the U.S., “ghetto” has become synonymous with African American communities, loaded with stereotypes and biases that stick. Voting Patterns and Loyalty to Insult But think about it: these communities, labeled and boxed in by those who created these environments, still cast votes for Trump, a man who has openly insulted them. “He called them hood rats and ghetto trendsetters,” a term I added because of the way these same people seem to dress in the styles white culture often deems as “ghetto.” Before the election, I spoke with many who swore they’d never vote for someone who belittled them so publicly. And yet, the numbers show they did — more than they did for candidates like Kamala Harris. “Violence wins every time in America,” I concluded, as they explained that Trump was, “the better choice.” Confusion Among Voters Since Trump won, they’ve had nothing but praise for him. I’ve been in contact with voters across Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Nevada — some Latino voters who’d voiced some of the harshest opinions of Trump, yet they all voted for him. Many live in low-income neighborhoods and rely on public assistance, programs Trump once vowed to cut. I can’t help but wonder if these people were coerced by employers or pressured into this decision for fear of losing their jobs. “I’ll never let anyone insult me and then vote them into office,” I said to myself, puzzled by their logic. The Hypocrisy of the “N-Word” Users And then there’s the “N-word.” This group claims to stand tough against anyone but the police. They talk big until it’s time to show up, then fold. They speak about Trump as if he’s their worst enemy, yet they support him at the polls. I’ve seen these “street-smart” folks who claim to despise the label, but fall silent when confronted. Trump has made it clear that he views them as “ghetto liabilities.” Those same people, the ones killed by white cops daily, still turned out in droves to vote for him. “Chaos is the currency of American politics,” I’ve said before, and it seems truer than ever. Reflecting on Kanye West’s Words “Slavery is a choice,” Kanye West once said, sparking outrage among Black people. But seeing the choices some make — the way they willfully play into stereotypes for a paycheck, the way they keep the cycle going — I start to understand what he meant. How can we get angry with white people for calling us the N-word or “shithole people” when our own communities seem willing to live up to those words, to be paid to embody that label? It’s not hard to see why some can perpetuate this system without punishment. When you accept being called a name, you accept the chains it comes with, and that acceptance is what keeps the cycle going.
LETTER to ECOWAS and AFRICA “A Call for Unity: By Intl Activist SDWJR
The separation of Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso from ECOWAS is a critical moment for West Africa. I understand the concerns driving these nations to withdraw, and I sympathize with their frustrations. Yes, ECOWAS has long been influenced by foreign powers — historical ties to former colonial nations like France, Britain, and Portugal shape much of its current dynamics. Yet, we must acknowledge the broader implications of severing this regional connection. It is true that ECOWAS has struggled to fully address the complex needs of its member nations. Some argue that the organization’s focus on external powers and interests sometimes overshadows its primary mission: protecting the citizens of West Africa. But even with its flaws, ECOWAS remains a critical platform for the region’s collective progress, peace, and stability. This is why it is difficult to watch Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso consider a future outside of it. In my capacity as an international activist, representing one of the founding nations of ECOWAS, Liberia, I implore these nations not to turn away from ECOWAS. Yes, I recognize their valid grievances — ECOWAS has not always been the beacon of hope it was meant to be. However, isolation is a perilous path, one that could erode hard-won progress and open the door to deeper foreign interference. I fear the AES, in its bid for independence, may inadvertently place itself under the influence of another foreign power — Russia. I understand why these nations may look toward Russia as an alternative to what they perceive as ECOWAS’s failure. Just as ECOWAS has struggled to prioritize their needs, Russia’s engagement promises to be more than just about regional cooperation — it’s about seeking support from global powers that may come with their own interests. But this cycle of external influence is exactly what must be avoided. We cannot let foreign powers dominate our future once again. I call upon Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso to reconsider their stance. Together, under the ECOWAS banner, we can forge a path forward, one that prioritizes regional unity, political autonomy, and the welfare of our citizens. ECOWAS may need to evolve, but abandoning it altogether is not the answer. The region’s future, our future, lies in solidarity, not division. I implore the AES to reconsider, for the sake of West Africa’s long-term peace and prosperity. There is room for growth, reform, and better leadership within ECOWAS. Let us rise together and show the world that we are stronger when united.

Nancy Pelosi and Intl Activist SDWJR Blamed Biden for Kamala Harris’s Defeat Against Trump
In a striking critique, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has suggested that President Joe Biden’s delayed exit from the 2024 race may have sealed Vice President Kamala Harris’s fate in her attempt to defeat Donald Trump. According to Pelosi, if Biden had dropped out sooner, the Democratic Party might have fared better in Tuesday’s election.
During an interview with the New York Times, Pelosi reflected on the impact of Biden’s decision to remain in the race, saying, “Had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race.” She explained that Biden’s late exit had prevented the possibility of an open primary, which could have introduced multiple Democratic candidates, each with the opportunity to prove themselves on the national stage. Without a primary contest, the party coalesced around Harris, a move that Pelosi believes may have cost them the election.
“An open primary would have involved numerous candidates campaigning and debating over months to become the nominee,” Pelosi said. With the Democrats already in the White House, the party did not organize a primary, assuming Biden’s reelection bid would go uncontested. But when Biden dropped out just four months before Election Day — following a disastrous debate against Trump — the party quickly unified behind Harris. Pelosi criticized Biden’s endorsement of Harris so soon after stepping down, suggesting it prevented the chance for other potential candidates to emerge.
Pelosi also implied that while she believed Harris would have performed well in a primary, it may have strengthened her candidacy for the general election. At the same time, Pelosi’s remarks hint that she may see potential among other Democrats who could have brought a stronger showing.
Adding to Pelosi’s criticism, prominent activist SDWJR weighed in with his own strong opinions on the Democratic Party’s strategy and Biden’s timing. When approached by The Washington Post for comment on Pelosi’s statements, SDWJR echoed her frustration but took it a step further, questioning whether the party had any candidate capable of defeating Trump.
“Who does the Democratic Party have that is competent enough to run against Trump besides Biden?” SDWJR asked, stressing his doubt in Harris’s ability to compete in such a high-stakes race. “I was looking forward to hearing who Speaker Pelosi thought was competent to represent the party. There is nobody in the Democratic Party that I know who could beat Trump at this point.”
He also raised concerns over Biden’s health, which had reportedly played a role in his decision to leave the race, and expressed doubt in the party’s overall strategy. “The only person capable would be Biden, but due to his health conditions, he isn’t able to run against Trump. I do agree that he did play a huge role in the loss to Trump,” SDWJR said.
Both Pelosi and SDWJR’s comments suggest a profound disillusionment within the Democratic Party’s ranks, pointing to Biden’s late exit as a missed opportunity to strengthen their campaign against a formidable opponent. As the dust settles on Harris’s defeat, this critique highlights a sentiment that perhaps the party underestimated the need for a rigorous, competitive primary — and ultimately, an invigorated nominee. Whether the Democrats will learn from this remains to be seen, but Pelosi and SDWJR’s words paint a vivid picture of internal divisions and strategic missteps that could shape the party’s future trajectory.

Duma Boko Inaugurated as Botswana's New President, Marking Historic Shift in Power Reporter SDWJR
Arriving at the ceremony in an open-top vehicle flanked by soldiers on horseback, Boko addressed the nation with a call for unity and encouraged respect for his predecessor. He highlighted the peaceful transfer of power as a historic and humbling moment, underscoring the need for national harmony. "It gives me great pleasure when I look at you and you look back at me and say that's my boy," Boko said, emphasizing his gratitude and affection for the citizens who entrusted him with leadership. Boko's UDC has pledged to tackle pressing issues such as unemployment, which rose to 27.6% in 2024, and to implement measures like a minimum wage, unemployment benefits, and increased support for the elderly.
His inauguration was attended by dignitaries including former Botswana President Ian Khama and South African leaders, marking a momentous shift in Botswana's political landscape.
