Why black people die from viruses more than everybody else

Today I spoke with Nathaniel Jordan, aka The Minister of Wellness about viruses, vaccines and why black people are so unhealthy. We discuss the fact that there are corporate and political interests that make money from keeping the public as unhealthy as possible and how you can fight back through self empowerment.

We have thousands of black elected officials - if so, then why are we making no progress?

There are two types of black people: Those who want solutions and those who want symbolism. I am in the solutions category, as I find myself deeply disturbed that we are complaining about the very same things that Malcolm X complained about over 60 years ago. This ridiculous repetitive cycle of victimization and falling behind disturbs me enough that I want to at least create a permanent record for those who want to do something different. That's what this video is all about.

What black people can learn from China

China has been booming economically, right as the rest of the world is shutting down. Why is that? It's due to a culture of economic strength, in which they continue moving forward, even in the midst of fear. But I go beyond China in this episode, talking about some of the failings of black culture and the things that you must do differently if you want to grow beyond that. The convo starts in China and we then go all around the world.

Failed politician says horrible things about black men

Pam Keith, a failed politician out of Florida, just said that black men who don't support Joe Biden hate black women. Let's break down Pam Keith's comments with regard to how the Democratic Party has successfully conquered the black community by creating the "White Jesus" complex among black people who now believe in failed stereotypes about black men.

Joe Biden pushes a major boost in the stock market

It appears that the closer we move to a Joe Biden presidency, the more the stock market is rejoicing. Added election certainty is good for stocks right now, as the stock market appears to be grateful that there isn't going to be a blue wave. There are other things moving the stock market this morning and I'll break them down here.

Who else is running for president besides Joe Biden and Donald Trump?

Alicia and I took the time to explore the 2020 presidential election. We studied the beliefs of the Libertarian and Green parties, and also talked about the place of African Americans in a political process that isn't designed for black people to get ahead.

How politics is ruined by money - explained by a Finance PhD

In this episode of The Dr Boyce Breakdown, I explain how the American political system is horribly corrupted by money. Billionaires give money to candidates, who then give that money to corporate media to help them persuade voters to put them into office. This creates a horrible set of incentives for both the politician and corporate media. The media will serve the politicians who give them money, and the politicians then serve the billionaires. The American people are only served to the extent ...

SNL falsely states that Ice Cube endorsed Donald Trump, when he was only advocating for the black community

SNL did a skit in which they falsely assumed that the rapper Ice Cube endorsed Donald Trump along with Lil Wayne. They also reduced Ice Cube's call for reparations for African Americans to him simply being a rich rapper who has forgotten his roots. This is much deeper than you think and shows the extent that white racist liberals will use propaganda and false information to try to win elections, even at the expense of the black community.

Why men are hesitant to marry women with children

Today, a woman asked me about dating as a mother, so I thought I'd do an honest assessment on the topic. I wrote a book years ago called Financial Lovemaking, so I thought I'd dig into the matter and talk about some of my perspectives on love, relationships and money. I am marrying a woman with three children, so I thought I'd give an honest point of view on the topic. I hope this helps somebody out there.

The election is around the corner and it's a complete mess for black people

As we are just a couple days away from the 2020 presidential election, I decided that I would throw Dr Boyce TV into the mix. I plan to do election night coverage with a series of black experts who can allow us to dissect the many issues facing black people as we move forward in the year 2021 and beyond.

22 Reasons why the Democratic Party offends me as a black man

I don’t relate to The Democratic Party because: - I’m not into LGBT issues. Love who you want, but that’s your business - Abortion makes me uncomfortable because it feels like we just killed a baby and they seem to want to kill black babies the most - I don’t GAF about building a wall with Mexico, I’m not Mexican. I don’t think that closed borders makes you racist, since countries do this all around the world - I see the #MeToo movement as a threat to the safety of black men, who can be accused ...

Why you should never waste time arguing with dumb ass people

I was speaking to my daughter today about dumb people. I explained to her why you shouldn't waste too much time arguing with stupid people by using a basic mathematical formula. This led me to realize that I should probably share this advice with anyone else out there who is being slowed down or hung up by low IQ, destructive morons who have no future. That's what this video is all about.

Lil Wayne meets with Donald Trump, but he's no Ice Cube

Lil Wayne had a meeting with President Donald Trump, which is certainly his right. But today, I spoke about black male rappers and their desire to meet with politicians of their choice. Some are hits, some are misses. Much of this speaks to the "great awakening" of the black male in American politics and proves that we have a very interesting road ahead.

Trump and Biden spent a ridiculously large amount of money this election cycle

Campaign finance reform should be one of the top issues in American politics. The fact that it now costs billions of dollars to run for president should concern anyone who cares about the future of this country.

Trump, Biden and capitalism

The 2020 election is set to finish with $14 billion in spending, smashing records as Trump and Biden battle for the White House. The sum will be more than double of what was spent in the 2016 election. By Election Day, the presidential campaign is expected to end up seeing $6.6 billion in total spending, while congressional races are anticipated to finish with just over $7 billion. Democrats have nearly doubled the spending by Republican candidates up and down the ballot.

Dr Boyce! You're a Trump supporter! - How voter suppression looks when it comes from other black people

I woke up this morning thinking about black voter suppression. Some think that this is something that white people do to black people, or something that Republicans only do to black Democrats. Actually, voter suppression also occurs when black people ostracize one another and talk about voting for the other political party as if it were illegal. That's what I discuss today on The Dr Boyce Breakdown. Follow me on Twitter @DrBoyceWatkins1

Rappers TI and Young Jeezy do a Verzuz - let's talk about Trapanomics and White Supremacy

Dr Boyce Watkins speaks today about the rappers TI and Young Jeezy doing a Verzuz episode and how this plays a part in the way the trap is monetized, mostly by white people. Not to disrespect TI and Jeezy, but this makes us wonder if black traumatic experiences are packaged and sold and why others are allowed to do it. There is also the discussion of the traps that we put ourselves in and how to get out of them.

White Democrats just abstained from voting. Black voters can do that too

You constantly hear people saying that it’s wrong for black folders to abstain from voting. But political science theory supports the idea that when you don’t have appropriate options you don’t have to pick one. I speak about what freedom can insured mean for Black people and why we are 0K when white Democrats choose not to vote but we are upset when black voters choose to do the same thing
