Thieving French & Haitian Reparations
by Tre B. I’ve been meaning to get around to learning about the history of Haiti for a good minute since it was the first independent African/Black republic in the Western hemisphere. I also want to predict what will happen to Haiti, from an international relations standpoint, due to the recent earthquake. The best way […]
What The Senate’s Apology For Slavery Really Means
You probably missed it, (I know I did), but the United States Senate issued a formal apology for slavery a few days ago. [Begin Sarcasm] Thank you Uncle Sam! This news made my Juneteenth shuckle buck all the more livelier, as I not only celebrated my ancestors learning of the 2 year old Emancipation Proclamation, but now the great-great-great grandsons of their slave masters unanimously concluded “My bad.” So now that the federal government has come clean after 144 years, I guess everything is all good. Break out the tea and crumpets, chicken and watermelon, gin and juice… celebration time Negroes! [End Sarcasm].
Happy Juneteenth!

[…]
F*** Joe the Plumber: Economic Equality and The Myth of “Free Markets”
by Tre B. dangerousNEGRO.com Now I’m no expert economist, so like Levar Burton used to say on Reading Rainbow, “You don’t have to take my word for it…” However, there are some commentators in the media, who claim to be experts, telling outright lies. Maybe it’s intentional or maybe they’re just ignorant, but let me […]
The Bailout and Reparations
By Tre Millyanz I just have one point to make to all you hankerchief-headed Negroes out there that don’t “believe” in reparations…you can’t ever say that the U.S. can’t afford to give reparations to Blacks in America (for slavery and Jim Crow semi-slavery). They spend $700 billion for a bailout and have a $661 billion budget […]
Slavery and the American Economy
by Waldron H. Giles, Ph.D. Slavery raises a host of negative images for Black people; so much so, they fail to realize the tremendous economic contributions they made, albeit forced, to the development of the United States into a world power. This lack of realization stems from the national shame of slavery and the concomitant […]
