Recent Bomb Threats To HBCU's

Image
  5/16/2023 - Jackson State University (JSU) in  Jackson, Mississippi,  received a " Phoned in bomb threat " and switched to virtual learning.  5/16/2023 - Prairie View A&M University (HBCU) in  Prairie View, Texas , was evacuated less than 30 minutes before the bomb threat at JSU. In an unrelated incident, there was another report of a bomb threat in Maryville, Tennessee,  and used a K9 dog team to secure the hazard.   5/15/2023 : St. Phillips College (Hbcu) in San Antonio, TX , had a bomb threat called in on 5/15/2023 at 1:30pm. Which is was about the same time as Jackson States bomb threat.  A Sign Before The Events - Numerology Interestingly, Biden gave his speech at an HBCU before these events. Biden speaks with a forked tongue , so it's important to look at the numbers behind major quotes to get the other side of the meaning. Bidens primary quote of the speech that caused a stir : Most dangerous terrorist threat = 133 (Pythagorean numerology)  Get ready for a

Modern Forms of Oppression Against Black People - Series 1/10 | Wells Fargo

  Senator Sherrod Brown , Chair of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, sent a letter to Wells Fargo CEO Charles Scharf, calling out the megabank for its history of consumer abuse and mismanagement. The letter highlights Wells Fargo's inability to address its longstanding risk management failures, including racial disparities in mortgage lending, fake job interviews for minority and female candidates, and anti-money laundering violations. These issues add to the list of consumer abuses and compliance breakdowns that led to a growth restriction imposed on Wells Fargo in 2018. Despite promises made to the American people following the fake accounts scandal, Wells Fargo has failed to live up to its obligations. For Black people, in particular, this failure is reflected in reports of racial discrimination in the refinancing process and the opening of millions of fake customer accounts. Wells Fargo must address these issues and improve its governance and risk man

California Reparations Task Force Recommends Payments for Qualifying Black Residents   The California Reparations Task Force suggested during a public meeting in Oakland, California, that the state should offer payments of up to $1.2 million to qualified Black residents and formally apologize to them. The task force, consisting of nine members, will send this recommendation to the state's legislators.  Representative Barbara Lee, D-Calif., who attended the meeting, emphasized the moral justifiability of reparations and their potential to address long-standing racial disparities and inequalities. Furthermore, the panel's recommendation provides specific payment breakdowns for various types of historical discrimination. For instance, Black residents who experienced redlining by banks would receive $3,366 each year they lived in California between the early 1930s and the late 1970s. The total payment for those living in the state during this period would be up to $148,099. Here ar

Jordan Neely Is Not Isaiah Thompson

During my video, I made a discovery, and a surprise; here is the original tweet: That was not Jordan Neely; it was Isaiah Thompson (“Suspect in Custody After Violent NYC Subway Attack Caught on Camera,” 2019).  Isaiah Thompson was arrested less than a week after he pushed the young woman on the train. Was Daniel Penny arrested shortly after choking someone to death? Nope, just an apology!   References  CBS New York. (2019, October 25). Alleged Subway Menace Arrested, MTA Seeks To Ban Him [Video].

The Jordan Neely Ritual Killing - Connections

Image
The lynching of Jordan Neely speaks volumes about how people experiencing homelessness are viewed and treated in a failing economy in America. When a black man needs help, there is often no one there to back that person up.  As a former ride-share driver, I was harassed , and questioned for resting until the airport runs began at 4:00 am. A flashlight shined on my face while I was not committing any crime in a 24-hour parking lot. I was lying back in my car seat just taking a nap, but I understand some people attempt to rob people, but it is a catch twenty-two.   From a logical, legal perspective, there should be due process:     According to the constitution of the United States (2023),  you should not "be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law ; (para 1).  Nobody can be the executioner, judge, or jury. That is how it should be, but as many black people know, injustice occurs even with the law involved.    The death penalty information center ment
