Expectancy of Black men has gone from the worst to the 2nd worst; for Native American men there's no end to the genocide!

Don't be a Black man because . . .
Nationally, only 52% of Black males graduate from high school As published by American Medical News (amednews.com), nationally, only 52% of Black male students earn high school diplomas, compared with 58% of male Hispanics and 78% of male non-Hispanic Whites, said a September 2012 report published by the nonprofit Schott Foundation for Public Education. According to a 2009 U.S. Justice Department study, for every Black male physician, there are about 50 Black men incarcerated at the federal, state or local levels, and as validated by the chart below, this disparity is getting worse. The proportion of Black men in medical schools has fallen since 2002, while a rising share of medical students come from Asian and Hispanic backgrounds.   Group 2002 Applicants (%) 2011 Applicants (%) 2002 Matriculants (%) 2011 Matriculants (%) White Men 10,483 (31.2%) 13,506 (30.8%) 5,355 (32.5%) 6,252 (32.5%) White Women 8,974 (26.7%) 10,451 (23.8%) 4,619 (28.0%) 4,808 (25.0%) Asian Men 2,965 (8.8%) 4,645 (10.6%) 1,474 (8.9%) 1,968 (10.2%) Asian women 2,984 (8.9%) 4,296 (9.8%) 1,556 (9.4%) 1,891 (9.8%) Hispanic Men 1,16 (3.5%) 1,655 (3.8%) 549 (3.3%) 790 (4.1%) Hispanic Women 1,274 (3.8%) 1,804 (4.1%) 581 (3.5%) 843 (4.4%) Black Men 874 (2.6%) 1,107 (2.5%) 391 (2.4%) 445 (2.3%) Black Women 1,738 (5.2%) 2,108 (4.8%) 735 (4.5%) 737 (3.8%) Total 33,625 43,919 16,488 19,230 Note: Individuals who did not mark a race or ethnicity, or who identified as multiracial, foreigners, Native Americans, Alaskans, Hawaiians or other Pacific Islanders are not included in this chart.

Don't be a Black man because . . .
Don't be a Black man because . . . White owned media perpetually and primarily profile Black men as "niggers," with big lips, or as a comedic buffoons, or as lousy fathers, or as criminals. Black Owned & Controlled Multimedia Conglomerate On White-owned and controlled media, Black people do not control the "look and feel" or the "narrative" of what it means to be Black. Just ask Denzel Washington     On White-owned and controlled media, Black people do not control the "look and feel" or the "narrative" of what it means to be Black. Just ask Dave Chappelle None! None! None! As represented by the following forty-two-(42) images of Black actors, of course, there are millions of smart, physically fit, and beautiful Black men throughout the United States and around the world. However, Black men have "allowed" themselves to primarily be "branded" by both White people and Black people as dumb and threatening, morbidly overweight or obese, and as big dick mandingo warriors with big noses. Just look at how Disney "brands" Black men!
Click the following links to read film reviews of Disney's racist films, "Soul" and "Black Panther."
Cedric the Entertainer IMAGES OF MORBIDLY OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE BLACK WOMEN ARE CONSTANTLY BEING PROMOTED AS ACCEPTABLE AND DESIRABLE. Conversely, we don’t see nearly as many “promotional spots” celebrating the “beauty” of morbidly overweight and obese Black men . . . because it’s NOT beautiful, DAH! OBSERVATION: If a man is unable to look down and see his penis, because his stomach is blocking his view, he's OBESE! If a woman, who's not pregnant, looks down between your breasts and she's unable to see her pubic hair because her gut is blocking her view - she's OBESE.
Don't be a Black man because . . .
"Being Black" has absolutely nothing to do with being a Republican or Democrat, because these White-owned and White-controlled political organizations have NEVER improved the socio-economic status for the overwhelming majority of Black people. Wake up!
As sustained by both political parties, are Black men really too stupid to grasp the "Bigger Picture"?
Given the FACT that "elite," politically powerful and affluent White people, which includes White women, created and sustain the racist, discriminatory, and oppressive socio-economic status perpetually endured by the overwhelming majority of Black people, it's stupid for Black people to look to Republicans and Democrats as "saviors." "How long are you gonna sit around begging White people to do for us when we have the power to do for ourselves?" Minister Louis Farrakhan Tavis Smiley's 2010 Black leadership conference, "The Black Agenda."   When "Elite," politically powerful and affluent White people make Black people as rich as Oprah Winfrey, or Michael Jordan, or Berry Gordy, or Robert Johnson and so many others, and these rich Black people fail to align themselves to create dynamic business enterprises to uniquely advance the socio-economic status of other Black people and create generational wealth, then yes, these Black people, Black men, are not just Uncle Tom's, egotistical, stingy, and narcissistic, they are also stupid . . . and weak . . . cowards . . . and not deserving of any respect or idolatry.

Don't be a Black man because . . . Black men have ALWAYS had the highest rates of unemployment. Always!!!
The Black unemployment rate has consistently been twice as high OR HIGHER than the white unemployment rate for 50 years! As reported by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) this gap hasn't closed at all since 1963. Back then, the unemployment rate was 5 percent for whites and 10.9 percent for blacks. Today, it's 6.6 percent for whites and 12.6 percent for blacks. Without regard to the amount of education or experience, for Black men in particular, it's even worse; throughout the U.S. Black male unemployment for working age Black men (16 to 64 years of age) consistently ranges from 40% to over 65%, and consequently, there's a direct correlation between cities with the highest crime rate and cities with the highest levels of Black male unemployment.     QUESTION: For decades, its been the practice of many U.S. companies to outsource both skilled and unskilled manufacturing and IT jobs to India, China, Mexico, and to many third-world countries; however, given that (1) unemployment rates for skilled and unskilled Black men* between 16 and 64 years of age ranges from 42% to 67% throughout the U.S., and (2) unemployment rates for Native Americans ranges from 85% to 95% at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and other reservations,** and (3) the extremely high rates of unemployment for convicted but released felons who are prohibited from traditional employment, why don't U.S. companies capture a greater ROI by strategically designing training paradigms, jobs, work locations, and business outcomes to exploit the aforementioned available but untapped demographics?   * Black Male (Un)Employment Rates in the Nation's Largest Metro Areaa 2010.pdf * Black Male (Un)Employment Rates in the Nation's Largest Metro Areaa 2020.pdf ** America's Native Prisoners of War (Video)

You profess to believe “that, of one blood, God made all nations of men to dwell on the face of all the earth,” and hath commanded all men, everywhere to love one another; yet you notoriously hate, (and glory in your hatred), all men whose skins are not colored like your own.

Abraham Lincoln Reynolds, III 1935 - 2012 (77 years) Suicide by firearm December 15, 2012 Published in 1994, “Do Black Women Hate Black Men” is the controversial and intriguing title of A.L. Reynolds’ assessment of contemporary relationships between Black men and women. While thumbing through a February 21, 2000 issue of Jet Magazine, the answer to Reynolds’ question is blatantly evident. No, Black women don’t hate Black men. More accurately, Black women - who may not realize it - hate themselves, and this self-hatred is killing the Black race; and Black men who refuse to hold themselves and Black women mutually responsible only permeate dysfunctional relationships.       My cousin, A.L. Reynolds, III held extremely diverse professional experience as an educator, psychologist, author, entrepreneur, former campaign specialist for Chicago's Mayor Richard J. Daley.

As researched by Derenoncourt, Chi Hyun Kim, Kuhn, and Schularick in their March 8, 2021 report, “The Racial Wealth Gap, 1860 - 2020,” the wealth gap between Blacks and Whites has never been abated, has only increased significantly. Most importantly, if present trends in the data continue, the racial wealth gap is headed to a steady state with average White wealth at least five times greater than average Black wealth - even through 2260!

Black heterosexual relationships are not only nearly non-existent, but doomed!       Click the image above to download the full report.   As established by "elite," politically powerful and affluent White people before, during and after slavery, many Black men fail to graduate from high school and/or college, become incarcerated, or unemployed, or drug users, or commit suicide. Conversely, at the expense of the traditional heterosexual Black family relationship, the dual-whammy of a Black woman's sex and race is intentionally exploited for the benefit of White-owned and White-controlled colleges and businesses to pad their AA/EEO and DEI reporting via EEO-1s and EEO-4s. Unfortunately, the average net worth of a single Black woman with a bachelor’s degree is $-11,000 and the median wealth of a single Black woman without a bachelor’s degree is $0 according to a research brief entitled “Women, Race, and Wealth” by Khaing Zaw, Jhumpa Bhattacharya, Anne Price, Darrick Hamilton, and William Darity, Jr. Here, read it and weep.       Did you get the message?     CLICK ABOVE IMAGE TO DOWNLOAD REPORT       Did you get the message?   CLICK ABOVE IMAGE TO DOWNLOAD REPORT       This underscores the sad reality that getting a college degree may actually be a hindrance in some cases to a person’s wealth position because of the frequent need to go into large amounts of debt in order to obtain higher education. Again, Black women who do NOT go to college have a greater net worth (of $0.00) than Black women who go to college ($-11,000). Do you really, really think men, without regard to race, are supposed to be attracted to and "celebrate" this . . . evolution . . . of intellectualism represented by Black women?       Stop being "Delusional?" It does more harm than good to value a Black woman's "obesity," lack of fitness, and unhealthiness as sexually desirable. "Thick" Black women exist only as a "preview" to diabetes, breast cancer, heart disease and the perpetually increasing cost of health care.       FACT: As reported by the National Institute of Health (NIH) in 2013, Black females are 8.7 times more likely to contract chlamydia and 20.5 times more likely to contract gonorrhea than are White females. The rate of STIs in the Hispanic population is also high, with Hispanics twice as likely to acquire chlamydia and gonorrhea as Whites. As published by Statista.com, in 2022, the highest rates of chlamydia in the U.S. were reported for the Black population with men having a rate of 922 per 100,000 population and women a rate of 1,288 per 100,000 population. For the latest data on trends for the top three-(3) nationally notifiable sexually transmitted infections (STIs - chlamydia,? gonorrhea, and syphilis, including congenital syphilis), read the 2023 Sexually Transmitted Infections Surveillance report, click here. Given this data (see chart below), why would any healthy and fit man or woman of any race or ethnic group "desire sexual intimacy" with Black men and Black women who clearly represent a well-documented and perennial risk to their health?                               Don't be a Black man because . . . It's "delusional" to think the overwhelming majority of White people want to live near you! Nothing changes the status quo of "White flight" from "people of color." Nothing changes the status quo of "White flight" from "people of color." For the past 20 years or more, no less than 25% of all Black marriages were to a partner of another race, and since Black men and women are not collectively making themselves more desirable to each other, there’s absolutely no reason for the increase of interracial marriages to diminish. Get it?
Don't be a Black man because . . .
Being a Black man has always been a scornful existence; likewise, so is being Native American!
Don't be a Black man because . . . You're very likely to become Missing In Action (MIA), and when a Black man goes missing, don't expect anyone to go looking for him.

QUESTION: Where can you very easily find Black men who are NOT missing?
ANSWER: Dead, or in prison, or cut-up by a medical examiner.
Dallas and Tarrant counties in Texas have a pragmatic solution to an expensive problem of corpse removal: Local medical examiners and coroners nationwide bear the considerable costs of burying or cremating tens of thousands of unclaimed bodies each year. Disproportionately Black, male, mentally ill and homeless, these are individuals whose family members often cannot be easily reached, or whose relatives cannot or will not pay for cremation or burial. DALLAS — Long before his bleak final years, when he struggled with mental illness and lived mostly on the streets, Victor Carl Honey joined the Army, serving honorably for nearly a decade. And so, when his heart gave out and he died alone 30 years later, he was entitled to a burial with military honors. Instead, without his consent or his family’s knowledge, the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office gave his body to a state medical school, where it was frozen, cut into pieces and leased out across the country. A Swedish medical device maker paid $341 for access to Honey’s severed right leg to train clinicians to harvest veins using its surgical tool. A medical education company spent $900 to send his torso to Pittsburgh so trainees could practice implanting a spine stimulator. And the U.S. Army paid $210 to use a pair of bones from his skull to educate military medical personnel at a hospital near San Antonio. In the name of scientific advancement, clinical education and fiscal expediency, the bodies of the destitute in the Dallas-Fort Worth region have been routinely collected from hospital beds, nursing homes and homeless encampments and used for training or research without their consent — and often without the approval of any survivors, an NBC News investigation found. Honey, who died in September 2022, is one of about 2,350 people whose unclaimed bodies have been given to the Fort Worth-based University of North Texas Health Science Center since 2019 under agreements with Dallas and Tarrant counties.
That's right, you can very easily find Black men in jail or prison, especially in Nebraska.

Don't be a Black man because . . . Telling the truth doesn't matter; and wrongly incarcerated Black men rarely get out.
2006 $6.5 Million settlement Sheldon Thomas, 35, had listened as a prosecutor with the district attorney’s office outlined the lies, misdirections and dismissals by those in power that persuaded a jury to put him behind bars for the past 18 years! He had been charged and sentenced to 25 years to life for a murder of a 14-year-old boy that prosecutors now say he did not commit. New York Times, March 9, 2023       1983 $1.9 Million settlement Maurice Hastings, who spent more than 38 years behind bars for a 1983 murder he did not commit, appears at a court in Los Angeles where a judge officially found him to be factually innocent on Wednesday, March 1, 2023. (J. Emilio Flores/Cal State LA News Service via AP, Pool)         1976 $25 Million settlement Ronnie Long, sentenced to 80 years in prison for rape and burglary, was released last week after spending 44 years behind bars. A federal appeals court determined that Ronnie Long, who has always maintained his innocence, had been a victim of "extreme and continuous police misconduct."

In 1931, Alexander McClay Williams became the youngest person to be executed in Pennsylvania, when his death sentence was carried out by electric chair at the age of 16. In October 2022 – more than 90 years after he was sentenced to death – Alexander was exonerated by then-Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf, as reported in the Philadelphia Inquirer as, “an acknowledgement that the charges against him should never have been brought,” according to a statement from the Delaware County District Attorney’s office in 2022. More than 150 people were exonerated in the US in 2023. Of those, nearly 84% were people of color, nearly 61% of the exonerees were Black and the most frequent factor in the exonerations was official misconduct, according to data from The National Registry of Exonerations.

Source: CNN, May 26, 2024 / 11:25 AM   Consider Kamala Harris' record as San Francisco’s district attorney from 2004 to 2011. Harris, a half-Black woman, was criticized in 2010 for withholding information about a police laboratory technician who had been accused of “intentionally sabotaging” her work and stealing drugs from the lab. After a memo surfaced showing that Ms. Harris’s deputies knew about the technician’s wrongdoing and recent conviction, but failed to alert defense lawyers, a judge condemned Ms. Harris’s indifference to the systemic violation of the defendants’ constitutional rights. Harris contested the ruling by arguing that the judge, whose husband was a defense attorney and had spoken publicly about the importance of disclosing evidence, had a conflict of interest. Harris lost. More than 600 cases handled by the corrupt technician were dismissed.       By the way, don't forget "White History Month!"

Known throughout the world For his strength and his speed, And his fabled sexual organ That nearly hangs to his knees!

See the world’s greatest disappearing act Along with the Black race’s demise. Here ye, hear ye You shoulda got one when you could, ‘Cause the humongous Mandingo warrior Is nearly gone for good! © 2002 Trip Reynolds From "Tripoetry" Published by Bress Publishing   As “impeccably researched” in the DVD documentary (above), “MAAFA 21: Black Genocide in 21st Century America 2nd Edition (2011), the intentional bias against Black people, and Black men in particular, is not ancient history, because the intentional murders and planned extinction of the Black race via the Eugenics Mmovement is ongoing.   SUPPLY VS. DEMAND? TAYE DIGGS & IDINA MENZEL WESLEY SNIPES & NIKKI PARK     SIDNEY POITIER & JOANNA SHIMKUS REGGIE BUSH & LILIT AVAGYAN       DELUSIONAL!

ELLEN POMPEO & CHRIS IVERY DR.DRE & NICOLE THREATT YOUNG     EDDIE MURPHY & PAIGE BUTCHER DAVE CHAPPELLE & ELAINE MANDOZA ERFE CHAPPELLE         The following equation represents the stochastic extinction model, it predicts species extinction rates that depend on the distribution of species and rates of habitat conversion: where E = number of extinct species; a = total number of species that occurs in the area being considered; bn = endemics (prevalent in or peculiar to a particular locality, region, or people) known to exist in multiple sites [a.k.a., the “distribution profile”]; C = land conversion factor (can either be the total proportion of land converted or a conversion rate per unit time); and y = maximum number of categories considered   Extinction? It's basic math.       Instead of applying this equation to floral and other species, why not adapt it to predict the evolution of the Black population? To do so, we need two important pieces of information: Question 1: Do we know the total number of species (distribution of species) that occurs in the area (The United States of America) being considered? Answer: Yes! This information is already available through the U.S. Census Bureau! In 1910, 90 percent of Blacks lived in the South. By 1940, Black migration to other parts of the U.S. reduced the percent of Blacks living in the South to 77 percent. By 1980, the percent of Blacks living in the South was reduced to 53 percent. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, 54 percent of the Black population lived in the South, 19 percent lived in the Midwest, 18 percent lived in the Northeast, and 10 percent lived in the West. In 2000, the ten largest places (cities) in total Black population were: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Diego, Dallas, San Antonio, Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Washington, DC, and New Orleans; and Question 2: Do we know the rate of conversion (loss or gain) in total habitat (rates of habitat conversion)? Answer: Kinda! Before anyone, especially the U.S. Census Bureau, can determine total habitat conversion (loss or gain in population) the following problems must be eliminated from the current data collection methodology: 1. Base data from April 1, 1990 through January 1, 1999 cannot be used; 2. Projections must include the FACT that beginning with the 2000 census, U.S. citizens have the option of marking one or more of 14 boxes representing six races and subcategories or “some other race” for as many as 63 racial combinations [systems must first be established to measure expanded racial diversity before enabling]; 3. The prevailing methodology cannot categorize any racial “mixture” containing “Black” as “Black” because, well, it’s RACIST. The “once a nigger...always always a nigger,” and “any part of nigger makes you a nigger” racist methodology isn’t applied universally by the U.S. government. What is the joining of a Asian and Native American? Once a chink, always a chink? Or, once a savage redskin, always a savage redskin? Even the U.S. Food and Drug administration recognizes that after Dole mixes orange juice, with bananas, and pineapples it’s no longer orange juice, and it’s not banana juice, and it’s not pineapple juice and, most importantly, Dole can’t market and sell its combo drink as orange juice because IT AIN’T ORANGE JUICE; and 4. The discrepancy between how data is collected and reported must be corrected. So, yes, in the absence of any changes to the above “Gloom and Doom” or other contributing factors, it’s possible to actually project either the extinction or near extinction of the Black race. The Black fertility rate is dropping, miscegenation can’t be ignored, and the African “feeder” group is dying-off in great numbers due to disease, starvation, war, etc. Plus, as well-documented by the perpetually high incarceration, death rate, and "disappearance" of Black men, there's considerably less interest by White-owned and controlled law enforcement, judiciary, and mainstream White-owned and controlled media to prioritize the welfare of Black people. In 2018, the Total Fertility Rate for the entire U.S. was only 1.765.5 - and the TFR for White people was only 1.640, which is the next to the lowest racial group TFR in the U.S. of Asians at 1.525. Like it or not, as White people become more "affluent" they have less children. The intentional genocide of Native Americans prohibits their consideration as a "fruitful" source. Equally important, as well-documented in the impeccably researched, “MAAFA 21: Black Genocide in 21st Century America 2nd Edition (2011), the intentional bias against Black people, and Black men in particular, is not ancient history, as the TFR for Black people has consistently declined since the end of slavery, coupled with more Black children being aborted (38.4%) than any other ethic group, and the perpetual decline of the traditional Black family unit from 1620 to Present: 250 years of slavery, 90 years of Jim Crow (lynching, racism, discrimination, incarceration, etc.), 60 years of separate but equal, 35 years of state-sanctioned red-lining. Therefore, to be "competitive" with the demographic changes in TFR worldwide, the United State of America must "replinish" its population from "fruitful" and logistically available external sources. Over the past 33 years, Canada's TFR average is 1.60, much less the the US average of 1.95 and therefore, not a "fruitful" source. China's TFR average is 1.65 but with historical birth controls to limit overpopulation. However, Mexico's TFR average is 2.55 and clearly, very fruitful! Clearly, in order to "replinish" its population and workforce the United State of America is going to become "darker," but with a noticeable reduction of Black people, spurred by: (1) perpetually decreasing fertility; (2) non-existence of the traditional heterosexual Black marriage; and (3) increased incarceration of Black men and Black women!       Don't be a Black man because . . . Black heterosexual relationships are not only nearly non-existent, but doomed! There will come a point in time when the failure of the Black race to re-populate itself results in the end of the Black race as we've known, and as we know it now. So, as illustrated below: if Black fertility and Black marriages continue to decrease; and if miscegenation (interracial marriages) and Black male mortality and high rates of incarceration continues to increase; eventually the Black population will decrease. It's basic math.       The demise of the traditional Black family functions as protracted genocide for future generations!   Don't be a Black man because . . . To acknowledge your self-inflicted stupidity, and to dethrone your "role model" status, White-owned and controlled law enforcement and White-owned media celebrate publicizing your adultery, or physical abuse upon women or men or children, or engagement in illegal acts of sexual perversion. When some Black men achieve great success, they ultimately provide the absolute worst possible examples of "Being Black." Instead of using their creative and business acumen for the benefit of others, especially to improve the socio-economic status of Black people, all Black narcissists have the same "look and feel," because they value: wealth; self-indulgence; sexual perversion; fidelity (as Uncle Tom's) to "elite," politically powerful and affluent White people; and dictating their power and vindictiveness over the helpless, especially over Black people they deem inferior.             Sean "P Diddy" Combs Jonathan Majors R. Kelly Bill Cosby Jussie Smollett Rev. Wayne M. Reynolds Everyone pictured above has committed adultery, or physical abuse upon women or men or children, or engaged in illegal acts of sexual perversion, or worse!     Such are the realities and the stereotypes; but in the absence of passion, eroticism, or singing and dancing, and playing sports, Black men perpetually have the highest rates of unemployment, incarceration, homicide, and mortality. So, if you have the option, it's probably not a good idea to be a Black Man . . . because they are only good for three-(3) things: 1. Fucking. For using their physical and sexual prowess to repeatedly impregnate and abandon (and re-impregnate and re-abandon) women, especially Black women who revel in the highest rates of sexually transmitted diseases. 2. Marriage. As the ideal "financial investment," via life insurance, for gold digger women, because Black males perpetually have the shortest life-spans and highest death rates in the U.S. 3. Incarceration. As a "financial investment" for both govermental and commercial prisons, because Black males perpetually have the highest rates of arrests and convictions.

Albert Einstein said it so clearly, “Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Black women and Black men keep doing the same things over and over again, generation after generation. When you see a train (Black people) coming down the tracks constantly characterized by ineptness, division, self-hatred, failed personal relationships, religious fanaticism, etc., and you refuse to get out of the way, to adopt a new paradigm - the train will kill you!

Again, if any Black men or Black women would like to respond to this or any editorial, as always . . . I welcome your feedback.

I welcome your feedback.
