Dating consultant tells a woman that she's "average at best" and will "die alone"

Dating consultant Kevin Samuels has been the center of attention this week for telling a woman on the air that she is "average at best" and would "die alone." In a recent survey that I took on my twitter account, 51% of respondents felt that the advice was harsh, but honest. Others felt that it was mean. Our All Black Intellectual Chocolate Panel is here to discuss the issue and ask whether Kevin Samuels was right to be so direct with the woman or if he could have given her better advice. Make s...

Youtube suspended my channel for supporting Louis Farrakhan

One of my youtube channels, Your Black World TV, was just suspended because I showed support to the address of Min Louis Farrakhan. I use this as an opportunity to address the racism of social media platforms that seek to destroy authentic black leadership, labeling solution-oriented, honest dialogue as "hate speech." This treatment and systemic dismissal of beloved black men like Louis Farrakhan is yet another reminder that black people in America should have zero faith in the Democratic party ...

Tesla has created a $100 billion dollar problem for the stock market

Tesla's addition to the S&P 500 has made national news. A big problem here is that Tesla's massive market valuation is causing fund managers to scramble as they prepare for what will happen when they are forced to add billions in Tesla stock to their portfolios. That leads to some concerns and risk factors about Tesla that I discuss today and I hope this helps you in your investing journey.

The Jake Paul Vs Nate Robinson fight created a Great White Hope

I watched that fight between Jake Paul and Nate Robinson and honestly found myself stunned. Let's be honest though - many people see the Nate Robinson vs Jake Paul fight as a statement on race or Aryan Supremacy. Jake Paul might be the Great White Hope, but obviously, this is just an exhibition fight between two amateurs. Nothing to be taken seriously. jake paul,nate robinson,jake paul vs nate robinson,logan paul,nate robinson boxing,jake paul boxing,paul vs robinson,jake paul knocks out nate ro...

Why I love Amazon Stock for the holidays

I speak today on The Black Financial Channel regarding why Amazon is one of my favorite stocks for the holiday season. The company's investments in infrastructure and the bold way they handled the crisis should play well for them. Amazon also has a huge advantage in an environment where a large amount of #BlackFriday shopping is going to occur online.

Today I tells the story of Coca-Cola, a $226 billion company that was purchased for $2300. This tale about Coke is a reminder to black business owners to never let go of their assets because you never know what the company is going to be worth a couple of generations later.

Jeezy, Gucci Mane, Verzuz Battles and Stacey Abrams - Black people vs the Trap

In the latest #Verzuz battle, #Jeezy and #Gucci got together to compare their popular hit songs. That's all cool, and they are both talented, but I wanted to talk about "The Trap" and why trap music is so relatable to so many of our people. Also, the fact that Stacey Abrams popped in speaks volumes about the extent to which politicians enjoy keeping black men in the trap. So, I ask this question as well: We know that Stacey Abrams is happy to speak with Gucci Mane and Jeezy, but would she want t...

I regret going to college, I'm drowning in debt and I hate my job! - Black Wealth Confessions

In today's Black Wealth Confession, I hear from a 27-year old who is drowning in debt and says that all he can brag about is the fact that he has a master's degree. This speaks to some of the economic principles addressed in the popular book, "Powernomics," where we were told to trade in our land and property in exchange for college degrees. This is a losing financial strategy. So, after I forgive this student for their sins, I'd like to break down why black wealth has gone backward, even as col...

Tesla has been a ridiculous money maker - but there are risks with this investment

Today I talk about Tesla Stock and their intro into the S&P 500. Tesla is an extraordinary company and Elon Musk is an amazing CEO. But there are numerous risks inherent in Tesla's introduction to the S&P 500, which may have explained the hesitance in the first place. With Tesla being added to the S&P, we are entering into an interesting era of investing, as this behemoth of a company will test the integrity of this very important stock market indicator.

Lewis Hamilton is a black racing champ who made a powerful statement

Lewis Hamilton is the greatest formula one driver in history. He also made a strong statement about fighting against racism and replacing it with inclusion and diversity. I go further on Hamilton's remarks and talk about the fact that before we were asking whites to include us in their racing leagues, we had racing leagues of our own.

Why I love Amazon stock as a powerful long-term investment - Dr Boyce Watkins, PhD

I was thinking today about how much I love Amazon stock. The company appears to have a strong management team that always knows how to pivot and make good economic decisions in a multitude of circumstances.

What Malcolm X said about Joe Biden

Believe it not, Malcolm X warned us about Joe Biden many years ago. Actually, he spoke specifically about white liberals and benign neglect in a way that was nothing short of prophetic. That's what I discuss in this conversation and that's what this discussion is all about. To learn more about The All Black National Agenda, please visit TheAllBlackAgenda.com.

Why the media hated Ice Cube, but loved Stacey Abrams

I speak here about Stacey Abrams and Ice Cube and the different ways they were treated in the media. Abrams was seen as a hero by media, mostly due to her work with the Democratic Party. Ice Cube, however, was seen as a villain by everyone but the Black community, who had a strong appreciation for his efforts. In light of what happened with Ice Cube and Stacey Abrams, I discuss Meritorious Manumission from Dr Claud Anderson's book, "Powernomics," and the Housee Negro-Field Negro divides that con...
