The Dr Boyce Breakdown

In today's podcast, I speak about how Facebook, Google, Twitter and Apple are using the power of the oligopoly to control public speech. This is a dangerous precedent for our country and will cause problems for many years to come. 

I was watching an interesting video by relationship consultant Kevin Samuels.  The term "Women are dying alone" appears to come up a lot on the web these days.  I thought I would provide a perspective on the concept of dying alone, all without disparaging the message of Kevin Samuels.  At the same time, other points of view should be considered.  #KevinSamuels and his #DieAlone videos may be good for online entertainment, but I wanted to also make sure they were taken in the proper context.  While I don't believe that Kevin is seeking to harm anyone with his content, I am hearing from a lot of black women who literally are afraid of dying alone.

I know that a large number of black people are loyal supporters of the Democratic Party and consistent haters of Donald Trump.  But putting blue/red politics to the side for a second, I think we should reflect on the dangerous precedent being set when Twitter bans the president of the United States from their platform. 

The reasons for banning Trump appear to be related to the fact that he is being accused of inciting the violence that took place on Capitol Hill.  The odd thing, however, is that there were no twitter bans related to the violence that took place over the summer. 

Also, censorship is a dangerous thing, as it is now allowing our technocrats to decide who deserves to have a voice and who does not.  The will of the people is thrown to the wayside in favor of an odd type of elitist imperialism. 

Trump supporters recently stormed the capital, as a continuation of the many protests occuring all throughout the United States during the summer of 2020.  So, we gathered an All Black Panel to help us make sense out of the DC protests, the election of Joe Biden and the future of the black community in the middle of all this chaos.

I decided to do a review of the Disney Movie Soul for those of you who'd like a quick assessment.  Overall, Disney did a great job on this film, which was done in partnership with Pixar.   Soul was visually appealing, pretty accurate and well-researched.   When Disney made Soul, it was interesting to me and my fiance for a few reasons:   1) We are black 2) We have kids 3) She's a therapist and deeply spiritual  Overall, Disney hit the mark pretty well with Soul, so as a black man and father, I'd like to provide some perspectives for you to consider.

I was saddened to hear that Dr Dre was just rushed to the hospital with a brain aneurysm.  My heart goes out to Dr Dre and his family.  I also wanted to take this moment to talk about #Blackmen, our health, signs and symptoms of brain aneurysms and how to keep ourselves healthy. Dr Dre is best known as one of the greatest producers in the history of hip-hop.  He is also going through an ugly divorce with his wife.  The nature of the brain aneurysm, the causes, etc are not known.  But the situation with Dr Dre is a reminder of the importance of black men taking care of our health.

Vice president Kamala Harris has been accused of plagiarizing a story once told by Martin Luther King.  Some feel that this only adds to the accusation that Kamala Harris has been faking her blackness in order to appeal to the African-American community.  I will read both stores to you and let you be the judge. I ask you, did Kamala Harris lie?

Rapper Gucci Mane gave his wife a million dollars cash as a "push present," to celebrate the birth of their child.  In this commentary, I examine the science of materialism and why so many people on Instagram were impressed with this gift. 

Today I speak with Stephany DeBerry, who talks about what it takes to make millions of dollars in real estate.  Stephany is hosting a Masterclass for those interested in real estate in the Black Business School at RealEstateAgentMasterClass.com
