When […]

Black Voters Matter, activists say Trump era is an opportunity to rebuild Black political power

National Black activists engaging with Black voters on the ground say despite setbacks on racial justice Black Americans have an opportunity to rebuild and expand their political power to heights yet seen.

For Vance at VP debate, facts about Haitians and Black votes don’t matter

Though the vice presidential debate between the Democratic nominee, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and Republican nominee, U.S. Sen. JD Vance, was uncharacteristically cordial, and many felt Vance outperformed Walz, critics aren’t mincing their words about Vance’s inability to tell the truth.  “JD Vance is OK pushing a lie that he knows is a lie, perpetuating it on a national stage before millions of people,” Democratic strategist Ameshia Cross told theGrio. “It doesn’t matter to him who it harms.” During the […]

No matter what the topic is, we will find a way to bring the funny out of it, and Saturday’s assassination attempt on Donald Trump is no exception.  I know I don’t have to explain this to Black people, but since white people stay in our business […]
