The Dr Boyce Breakdown

I was asked this week about #Beyonce and an interesting display of something called "blackfishing."  This is where white models use blackface and stereotypical black culture in an effort to profit from the cultural authenticity granted from American blackness.   While this is no fault of #Beyonce or even her #IvyPark brand, there are a few questions a person should ask about this Black fishing situation and also ways to understand that while this might seem harmless or just a matter of borrowing style, these actions have deep roots in the ways in which black people lose wealth all throughout the world.   Beyonce and Ivy Park may want to reconsider their marketing strategies in the future.

Tonight on our All Black Intellectual Chocolate Panel, we discuss the role of black men in the community, as well as the actions of alleged Trump supporters who burned a black lives matter flag hanging from a black church.  On one hand, most of the actions of Black Lives Matter are linked to leftist organizations like Antifa, so black people are secondary to the conversation.  On the other hand, the issue of burning a flag hanging from a black church has deeper symbolic meaning than what might be apparent on the surface. 

That's what our panel discusses tonight and you can follow conversations among black men by subscribing to TheBlackBossChannel.com. 

#BlackLivesMatter leadership appears to be disappointed in Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for ignoring their request for a meeting shortly after delivering massive numbers of black votes in the 2020 presidential election.   The interesting thing about the frustration of Black Lives Matter is that it should lead us to wonder if our "civil rights emergencies" are used as trigger points to ignite the black vote to keep the Democratic party in Power.   There is more to discuss as well in terms of just how well #JoeBiden and #KamalaHarris will relate to Black Lives Matter on issues such as police reform, particularly given that Biden and Harris spent most of their years building up police departments all across the country.

Tonight with our All Black Intellectual Chocolate panel, we discuss Snoop Dogg's criticism of Cardi b, and how WAP culture is being pushed heavily into the black community.   Our argument is that black people should be having conversations about the messages in our music without allowing our oppressors to tell us who we are. 

Today on my Instagram, someone made a comment about women who make a series of mistakes in their younger lives and then chase the "good guys" later in life.  This is after having kids with thugs, and maybe creating a series of financial problems at the same time.   Uncle Boyce wanted to take this issue head on and give an honest response.  Maybe there are some things here that can help us make better decisions.  Black Love is the topic of today and it's deeply linked to black economics.

Charges will be filed against a Georgia youth football coach who was caught on camera attacking one of his players, leading to the man's expulsion from the league.

The troubling incident unfolded at Austin Tindall Park in Kissimmee, Florida, on Monday, involving a team of 9-year-olds from Savannah, Georgia, according to statements by the Osceola County Sheriff's Office and American Youth Football.

An unidentified person in Maryland shared video of the attack with deputies, stating that he "did not know anyone in the video and just wanted it to be in the right hands," the sheriff's office said Friday.

"I observed the coach slap the players (sic) helmet with enough force to shift his balance. After a few moments the coach hit the player again in the helmet knocking him to the ground," according to a report written by responding officer Doug Ford, who identified the offending coach as Gerrel Williams.

"After the second hit to the helmet the coach was screaming in the players (sic) face face. Once the coach was done screaming, he shoved the kids (sic) head pushing him of (sic) the field."

American Youth Football (AYF) "identified the team by the video and stated the coach was expelled from the league, and was no longer able to attend any game," according to Ford.

The child's mom knows what happened but "specifically stated she did not want to press charges" against the attacking coach, according to Ford.

But the sheriff's office said Saturday that after reviewing the case with the local state attorney's office "the decision has been made that charges for child abuse will be filed."

According to Black Enterprise:   "OneTen was founded by Ken Chenault, Chairman and Managing Director of General Catalyst and former Chairman and CEO of American Express; Ken Frazier, Chairman and CEO of Merck; Charles Phillips, Managing Partner of Recognize, Chairman of the Black Economic Alliance, and former CEO of Infor; Ginni Rometty, Executive Chairman and former CEO of IBM; and Kevin Sharer, former Chairman and CEO of Amgen and former faculty member at Harvard Business School.  “This is a moment in time for Americans to move past our divisions to come together and reach our full potential as a nation. Our country’s workforce of the future will be an increasingly diverse one,” said Frazier in a written statement. “Through the creation of 1 million jobs for Black Americans over the next 10 years, OneTen has the potential to address persistent intergenerational gaps in opportunity..."

Today's All Black Intellectual Chocolate Panel is speaking about black love.  Some say Black Love is dead, but we don't believe that to be the case.  But one of the things we have to confront is the brewing gender war that appears to be perpetuated in media.   Let's talk about #BlackLove and see where we stand.    To view our films on Black Love and our Love and Money curriculum, please visit TheBlackLoveBlueprint.com.  The first month is free.

AirBNB had an ipo in which its stock price shot through the roof, rising over 100% in the first day.  Most of the rise in the value of AirBNB stock is driven by uninformed investors who buy stock as if they are buying designer luxury clothes.   Overpaying for AirBNB stock only makes sense if you truly believe there is another sucker who will buy the stock at a higher price.   This will all fine and good until there is a day of reckoning.   To learn more about stock market investing, please visit TheBlackStockMarketProgram.com.

Today, our All Black Intellectual Chocolate Panel talks about Michael Eric Dyson and his remarks about Joe Biden.  Dyson appeared on CNN with Don Lemon and seemed to imply that Joe Biden did a solid for black people by picking a black secretary of defense.  Our All Black Panel explores this issue and wonders out loud whether we have become obsessed with identity politics within the black community.
