Since we released this episode on 7/24/19, nothing has changed! What is the most important lesson that we keep getting hit over the head with? Without struggle, there is no freedom!
It has always puzzled me why we have not been to able effect change utilizing our right to assemble and protest peacefully. Why is that other groups can come together and protest and produce change or compromise. The only difference that is evident to me is perseverance, consistency, and being relentless.
What is the difference between them and us? Well, to be perfectly honest note the following
- Consistency
- People not participating
- People losing interest
- People burying their heads in the sand
- People afraid that they will lose their jobs
- Lack of group cohesion (this has killed us)
- Failure to develop an agenda
- Execution of that agenda
The issues facing the Black American run deep and cannot change without refusing to accept the status quo.
Just look around you, other groups have lost respect in our ability to stand up and call out these issues that face us. What is 1000 protesters when we have over 35 million Black Americans in this country. We can’t afford to just sit here and take it. Aren’t you tired? Or do you think God is going to change things for the better? We have to make the sacrifices. Nothing has been gained without sacrifice.

In a paper done by the National Information Forum, The “great replacement” theory, in simple terms, states that welcoming immigration policies — particularly those impacting nonwhite immigrants — are part of a plot designed to undermine or “replace” the political power and culture of white people living in Western countries.
America is struggling with its reasoning and responses to population replacement, or the “great replacement” theory. Like so many demographic issues, the composition of America’s population has become highly politicized, partisan and divisive.
Promoted by racist, antisemitic, xenophobic and white supremacist groups and spread by some media outlets, the great replacement is a conspiracy theory about changes in the composition of America’s population. The great replacement theory centers on the belief that nonwhite, non-Christian people are being brought to America for the purpose of replacing the white Christian majority population in order to establish a new political and socio-cultural agenda.
It has moved from the fringe of racist political movements to become prominent in American politics. A recent poll found that 61 percent of Americans who voted for former President Trump agree with the idea behind the great replacement theory

The more we pull back the carpet, the more roaches we see. As we continue to do research for topics, 99.999% of the time we are encountering discrimination and down right merciless behavior towards Black folks. It is hard discovering all the ways that we are systematically subjected to abuse on every level. It is amazing where we could have been. Stay tuned.
Home Appraised With a Black Owner: $472,000. With a White Owner: $750,000.
According to the New York Times, Nathan Connolly and his wife, Shani Mott, say an appraisal company undervalued their home based on their race. The couple has filed a lawsuit in Maryland.
Last summer, Nathan Connolly and his wife, Shani Mott, welcomed an appraiser into their house in Baltimore, hoping to take advantage of historically low interest rates and refinance their mortgage.
They believed that their house — improved with a new $5,000 tankless water heater and $35,000 in other renovations — was worth much more than the $450,000 that they paid for it in 2017. Home prices have been on the rise nationwide since the pandemic; in Baltimore, they have gone up 42 percent in the past five years, according to Zillow.com.
But 20/20 Valuations, a Maryland appraisal company, put the home’s value at $472,000, and in turn, loanDepot, a mortgage lender, denied the couple a refinance loan.
Dr. Connolly said he knew why: He, his wife and three children, aged 15, 12 and 9, are Black. A professor of history at Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Connolly is an expert on redlining and the legacy of white supremacy in American cities, and much of his research focuses on the role of race in the housing market.
Months after that first appraisal, the couple applied for another refinance loan, removed family photos and had a white male colleague — another Johns Hopkins professor — stand in for them. The second appraiser valued the house at $750,000.
This week, Dr. Connolly and Dr. Mott sued loanDepot, which is based in Foothill Ranch, Calif., as well as 20/20 Valuations and Shane Lanham, the owner of 20/20 Valuations. Mr. Lanham is the appraiser who conducted the first appraisal.

Do you think that Black men are non-contributors and we need to raise our Black Women to be men. We don't think that it is as simple as Rev. TD Jakes makes it. Stay tuned.
Two of the most powerful positions in the United States government will soon be held — for the first time — by black women: Kamala Harris and Ketanji Brown-Jackson. Harris, as we all know, is the vice president of the United States and Brown-Jackson could is a Supreme Court justice.
But Harris and Brown-Jackson also share a personal attribute that is equally noteworthy: Each has a white husband.
This fact is significant. The effects of racism have left well-educated black women with a paucity of black male partners: According to Brookings Institute data, black men are less likely than black women to have completed high school and 50 percent less likely to have attained a four-year college degree. Yet despite the shortage of suitable black partners, black women have also been the least likely of any minority group to marry outside of their race, according to data from the Pew Research Center.

What is going on in our world? We are seeing things that we would associate with the apocalypse. Michelle and Walter discuss only a small fraction of what we see and what the TWW believes are factors.
Antiracism activist and diversity trainer Jane Elliott described it as a fear so great that White people, including political leaders, “will do anything to see that doesn’t happen.” And what is that? Losing the majority!
More to come because we are only scratching the surface in this episode.
