Ilhan Omar recently made the headlines after being ousted from the House Foreign Affairs Committee by Republicans. I know her name I know her face, but I never cared. Despite her being Black and very Muslim, I never cared because she has a white husband. Aaannd she used to have a Black one. Based off that and yes that alone I’ve never been a fan. As a public figure I don’t trust her. It’s hard to take what appears to be a proud-African-sista-who-wears-a-hijab-in-office seriously when she chose a colonizer over a brother. Her face says Black and proud but her…

Rest in power Anthony Lowe Jr. This man was a double amputee because the Texas police blew his legs off. I just watched the video of his state sponsored assassination by Cali police. Mr. Lowe literally hopped out of his wheelchair to flee from cops on foot. He had no legs, no feet. He was clutching a knife while fleeing in absolute fear of his life. Slave catchers shot him 8 times in the back. He was 36 and a father of two. Under white supremacy Black people are subhuman. That fact hasn’t changed since the days of formal chattel…

Dear #EddHeads, What if Kyle Rittenhouse was Black? We’re all familiar with the term “litmus test”. If not, Google it quickly and come right back for the tea. It goes like this—what would’ve happened if (insert name) was Black? What would’ve happened if Kyle Rittenhouse was Black? He certainly wouldn’t have been acquitted of all charges. That’s a fact. There is no precedent (and one will never be set) for an underaged Black male to possess a firearm designed for killing humans (as opposed to deer); stalk a peaceful protest full of white people and assassinate them in a premeditated…

I’m happy to announce we’re beginning renovations on our recording studio so we can go public with a brick and mortar location for 107 Studios! I’ll share more about this in future posts. So there I was shopping for bids online. I emailed one contractor in particular who in his reply asked me if I’m vaccinated. Mind you this is the first contact we’ve ever had. Don’t know each other, never did business before. I thought about how to respond. In business you learn to match people’s energy, so that’s what I did. My response was: “Absolutely not! However, I’d…

Dear #EddHeads, This just in—Biden is forcing citizens to get the jab or lose their jobs. In response, people are quitting rather than submitting to the massa’s demands. White folk. Highly educated and skilled front line workers are refusing the jab. Big kudos to them! Meanwhile, y’all expect Black folk, the most oppressed people on the planet, to volunteer for this shit? The reality is many Black people will get the jab because they can’t afford to loose their jobs. In that sense (and every other sense) the mandate is racist because it targets the poor and disadvantaged by taking…

I’m calling this Vax Post 1 because covid is the new norm and this won’t be my last post about it. Let’s begin by stating I’m not vaxed and at this time have no plans to become vaxed. I don’t choose sides in the sense of vaxed vs non-vaxed but I do choose sides in the sense of choice vs I’m-white-and-I-say-so. And before you fix your lips to question how this is an “I’m-white-and-I-say-so” issue when plenty of Black folk are pro-vax, let me remind you that Blacks don’t have the power to bully anyone at a systemic level. In…

About a week ago they put out arguably the most racist music video of all time. If you haven’t already seen Industry Baby, don’t. Literally every Black man in the video is portrayed as wildly feminine and gay whereas every white man in the video (Jack Harlow) is masculine and straight. Equally concerning is the setting. Why are we glamorizing life in a slave warehouse (prison) to the tune of a gay orgy? The exploitation of Black men via the so-called justice system isn’t cool or entertaining. Being gay AND a slave doesn’t change that. Not only does this narrative…

Dear #EddHeads, Do not vote. Not for a Replication and certainly not for a Democrat. Neither has any love for you. Truthfully, they are one and the same. I don’t have to explain or prove to you why Republicans are nazis, Trump did that. I will learn you something about the Democrats. They don’t fuck with us either, they just hide their agenda better. The Republican Party = overt racism while the Democratic Party = covert racism. Never forget, Jim Crow Joe is responsible for the Crime Bill that sent hundreds of thousands of our people to slave warehouses otherwise…
