Destroy Everything
For a myriad of reasons, it's quite feasible that this will be my final blog post. No; I don't plan on going anywhere, necessarily.

What's Wrong With Black Men?
This question is usually asked in articles written by black females. The reality in the answer is far deeper and is often times overlooked in general conversations and in the general dialog in the black community. When this subject is spoken on in a lot of articles written by black females it is usually written very passionately with “surface facts”(Surface facts are facts that can be obviously seen and can be proven and often times stand alone). When a black male is writing on this very same subject we have to pull history, psychology, and even refer to shifts in societal norms to further explain what is going with black men. The issues with black men are not of any type of epidemic proportion or anything like that, but more of systemic and societal changes.

'Covid' Ops: Forum for a corporate coup?

Is Sweden Risky Strategy Really Worth It?
Denmark was among the first European countries to go into lockdown. Sweden went for the path of herd immunity, making it a rare case among developed economies to do so. There was no total lockout, and it advised but did not enforced strict social distancing.

The Cycle of Poverty
Modern Western societies, such as The United States, put a huge stress on the idea that the mix of working hard and natural talent will lead to achieving any goal...sometimes even bragging that that is something our society allows. While that is a beautiful idea, the divide between social classes only continue to rise, making it harder and harder to reach the top. Social class shapes how one views themselves and how they view other people. So how then can one's socioeconomic status keep them stuck in a cycle of poverty? Could it be that a mind shift change is what it takes to pull someone stuck in a poverty cycle out and into a brighter future?

Anti-Muslims laws provoke bloodshed in Delhi as Muslims fear for their lives
Reports of genocide, state-sanctioned violence and ‘n***** hunting’ are not what you would expect to happen in the 21st century, let alone at the beginning of this month.

Pain Medication List:
Prescription opioids are some of the most commonly used drugs to treat pain. However, consistent misuse of these drugs continues to be an ongoing epidemic in the U.S. and elsewhere.

Curbing the excesses: Considerations on the 'financialization' of housing and how it is addressed
Disclaimer: This short essay was written as an assignment for an online course (my favorite activities during quarantine time). The goal was analyzing briefly a UN special report on housing and Human Rights (either agreeing or not with the contents). Hopefully we'll have time in the future for further research on the topic.

Just sit back, shut up, and let the experts handle it
frAs you can see from the picture above this is pretty much how Trump might as well be handling the Covid-19 virus. Before the quarantine, he was told about the dangers of Covid-19.
