Steve Harvey says rich people don't sleep 8 hours a day - that's not true

"Rich people don't sleep eight hours a day. That's a third of your life. There ain't but 24 hours in a day. You cannot be sleep eight hours a day," Steve Harvey said before referencing Proverbs 6:11. It is true that in today’s world, the wealthy and successful often seem to be able to do more with less sleep. We often hear stories of CEOs, entrepreneurs, and other high-level executives who get by on only a few hours of sleep each night. However, this doesn’t mean that this is a healthy way to li...

Deion Sanders going to Colorado is what black men are expected to do in America

I wanted to do more analysis of Deion Sanders and his decision to leave Jackson State to head to The University of Colorado. Truth is that black men are expected to leave the development of black owned institutions in pursuit of bigger and better opportunities. But this is also the reason that black wealth has declined and one of the reasons I found myself to be disappointed.

I spoke to Kanye for hours - he needs help

I spoke to Kanye West for several hours during the 2022 All Black National Convention. He's not an all around bad person, but there were some psychiatric issues that my therapist wife identified that should probably be addressed. As much of an asset as Ye could be for the black community, I am sad about the fact that we may end up watching him self destruct.

Rhode Island wants to give reparations to white people

Providence Rhade island just offered the most ridiculous reparations program in history. The city is even allowing white residents to apply for the funds. Mayor Jorge Elorza has offered a whopping $10 million dollars to the city's residents to correct for 400 years and trillions of dollars of theft, trauma and exploitation. What's even more suprising about this program is that Elorza and his "brilliant" team of advisors want to make these reparations available to white people. Today on The Black...

Kanye West has to pay a lot of child support and some think that's wrong

Today we talk about the $200,000 per month child support agreement between Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. The discussion goes deeper than Kim and Ye, however and focuses on the meaning of child support, how black families are affected by it and asks, "What's the value of a parent's time?"

These jobs pay $100,000 per year and let you work from home

Today on The Black Financial Channel, I spoke about 10 jobs that allow you to earn $100,000 per year and still work from home. When I was in college, working from home was a dream. Technology has created a world where we can become millionaires without leaving the front porch. Personally, I think that's pretty cool. Truth is that while this list technically contains 10 jobs, there are really only five. Also, I noticed some themes among these positions that I spoke about today on the episode, whi...

SNL writers are furious that Dave Chappelle is going to be the host

Today, I spent time on my podcast discussing the economics behind Dave Chappelle and the control of black men. Chappelle is going to be the host of the next episode of SNL and a few writers have chosen to boycott. This is part of a recent pattern in which black men have been blamed for everything from failed elections to being the promoters of misinformation and anti-semitism. My guest, Zakiyah Sankara Jabbar, joins me to discuss the Dave Chappelle situation within the context of Black Freedom o...
