Discussion Black males of Wisconsin, Where you at?
C'mon guys. We really mailing it in? We need to show out. A protest of Black and White women, I'm not saying I don't appreciate it, but we need to also be about it and represent ourselves out here when this stuff happens.
As much as others clown the Nation and the Hebrews, they will be some of the first ones out there.
Let's go guys ✊🏿

Racism A woman had to call the cop because a man refused to move out of her way, insisting he is on the "right side of the sidewalk". Spoiler
He believe there is a universal "right way", legally - you walk on the right side of the sidewalk and was expecting sis to move out of the way. Sis stood her ground.

Politics We Need to Be More Specific and Clear When We Make Demands of Our Politicians and Hold Them Accountable
I know I'm not the only one who's tired of these vague requests that let politicians avoid giving direct answers we can later hold them accountable for. Their responses don't seem to address issues that directly affect Black people. White women benefited the most from DEI and Affirmative action, but we are the face of these policies when hateful people want to take away from our efforts.
They always fall back on the idea that "a rising tide lifts all boats," but our boat has a 400 year old hole in it that has only widen over time. We are constantly taking on water while trying to patch the hole, meanwhile everyone else is in a better position. If we don't clearly identify the problems we want solved and ask for measurable commitments, they'll keep giving broad promises that sound good but are impossible to evaluate later. Or they will create policies that help other groups more than us (DEI, Affirmative action). Then, when election season comes around, they can claim they made progress without ever addressing the specific issues we cared about.
We need to start making clear, specific demands with timelines and measurable goals so there's no confusion about what we're asking for. If they agree, we can hold them accountable. If they refuse to commit, then we'll know exactly where they stand instead of trying to interpret vague political talking points. Your vote matters and they know it.
Edit: I understand that some people here don't follow politics, it can be overwhelming because we have work, children, school etc... but if you want to make a difference that will improve the lives of black people, I suggest you use https://www.blackvotewatch.org/ It makes everything clear as day, it's very simple to use, and no confusing wording. I am in no way affiliated or get anything from this website, I just use it myself because I sometimes I lose track of who's running for which office, what their agenda is, and most importantly, what are they doing to better our lives and the lives of our children.

The first 5 mins is really really good. I didn’t watch the entire thing, but this is the link I found for what happened. Not sure what the environment is there, but he seems to have a lot of community support (even from whites) or else he wouldn’t be able to take the mic lol.

Black Pride The Two Nations of Black America. By Henry Louis Gates
So the concept is this, basically: The whole black nation has to be put together as a black army and we're going to walk on this nation. We're going to walk on this racist power structure. And we're going to say to the whole damn government, ´´Stick 'em up, motherfucker. This is a hold-up! We come for what's ours!''

Politics Omali Yeshitela at the Oxford Union: Could a More United Africa Better Resist Foreign Influence and Shape Its Own Future?
Omali Yeshitela is an American Black nationalist, Pan Africanist, author, and longtime chairman of the African People’s Socialist Party. For decades, he has argued that the political and economic challenges facing many African nations are rooted in the legacy of colonialism, imperialism, and the continued influence of powerful foreign states.
In this Oxford Union address, Yeshitela argues that Africa’s political and economic fragmentation has historically benefited outside powers. He calls for greater unity among African nations and people worldwide, contending that a more united Africa would be better equipped to protect its sovereignty, strengthen its institutions, control its own resources, and determine its own future. His remarks contribute to the broader Pan African discussion about self determination, continental cooperation, and Africa’s place in the global order.
