Russell Westbrook, Kid Cudi, Lil Nas X, Billy Porter, Terry Crews And many other black men have been asked by the Hollywood elite to dress as women.  Dr Claud Anderson says that the tactic of feminizing the black male has been tried and true traditions in slavery.  I took a survey and asked about Russell Westbrook in particular, as well as all the other black men who have been seen the media wearing outfits that are seen as feminine.  The results of the survey were overwhelming. Most black people are not happy with what they are seeing with some of their men.

Black people are in a state of emergency.  Right now, with the mandates being placed by major corporations, millions of black people are finding themselves without access to jobs, even as there are millions of job openings all throughout the economy.   Today I speak with Dr Claud Anderson, author of the book "Powernomics."  Dr Anderson and I are going to speak on why now it is more important than ever to make plans for the development of #blackowned businesses and industry.   Joe Biden has recently announced rules and restrictions that are going to freeze millions of black people out of the economy and Dr Anderson says that this means that we must be more dilligent than ever when it comes to the creation of #BlackOwnedBusinesses.   Dr Anderson is also the author of other books, including Black Labor, White Wealth and Dirty Little Secrets.    You can learn more about Dr Anderson's work and books by visiting http://Powernomics.com.

Today I speak with John D Boyd, father of Roc Nation's Victory Boyd.  Victory made national news when the NFL canceled her right to sing the national athem because she refused to get the government-mandated injection. 

I saw a powerful video testimony from rapper Royce Da 5'9.  In the video, Royce was honest about the fact that he took his first drink with Dr Dre at the age of 21.  He says that this was the beginning of a long road of addiction and other problems that come with drugs and alcohol.   Royce made a powerful statement about hip-hop, black men and how toxic culture is marketed to us on a regular basis.  Many black men have met their demise due to drugs and alcohol and I think it's important that we take the time to seriously assess what culture is being marketed to us through the music by large corporations like Apple and Spotify, none of whom have to deal with the effects of what's being pushed to the black community.   Hip hop is important and it's powerful.  But the crabs in a barrel desperation to succeed can often cause rappers to engage in actions that are harmful to their own community.    I do not know Royce, but I appreciate his message.  This is one of the themes at the 2021 All Black National Convention, happening in Orlando, Florida the weekend of october 29th through November 1.   Sincerely, Dr Boyce Watkins http://AllBlackEconomics.com #BlackMen #hiphop #rappers #DrBoyceWatkins #BlackWealth

Actor Michael K Williams was just found dead.

A lot of people don’t know that Michael K Williams who played Omar on the wire was actually discovered by Tupac Shakur. 

According to the New York Post: 

“The Wire’’ actor Michael K. Williams was found dead of a suspected heroin overdose in his Brooklyn penthouse Monday afternoon, law-enforcement sources told The Post.

Williams was discovered unconscious in the dining room of his luxury Williamsburg pad with what appeared to be heroin on the kitchen table, sources said." 

Michael K Williams was born in Brooklyn, the son of a Bahamian mother from Nassau and Booker T. Williams, an American, from Greeleyville, South Carolina, where his African-American family has deep roots.  Williams was raised in the Vanderveer Projects in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, and attended George Westinghouse Career and Technical Education High School. According to a DNA analysis, he is descended partly from the Mende people of Sierra Leone.

After getting in some trouble as a youth, he enrolled at the National Black Theatre in New York City.

I spoke in this episode about the history of blood diamonds and why Beyonce's fans are furious. 

Dr Christina Parks is a PhD from The University of Michigan.  Her testimony before the Michigan State House of Representatives was powerful.    A lot of people have questions.

Why DONDA would be both proud and concerned about Kanye  I have to take a moment and talk about Kanye West. Kanye has just released his new album called DONDA, Which everyone is talking about.  But even before Kanye West put out this album, he was heavily criticized and targeted by cancel culture for his affiliation with Donald Trump and the Republican party.  Since that time, Kanye West has accumulated billions more in wealth With a sustained commitment to Powernomics in the philosophies of building monetary systems within the black community.  #Kanye and #Donda are worth talking about, but there is so much more.   Sincerely,  Dr Boyce Watkins  http://AllBlackEconomics.com
