On September 26, Nya Syndab went viral after posting via twitter that her “mom” a black single parent of two had “became a doctor at 50″. She went on to explain how it took her mom 6 1/2 years to complete” her studies while praising her parent as “amazing.” Proving that you don’t have to be swift to win a race if you have endurance. Or in other words tortoise and the hare.

Many things have shut down and shuttered during this ongoing global pandemic but Wall Street and the stock market weren’t one of them. Do you want to give the gift that keeps on yielding? Well you may want to consider investing in the stock market.
Did you know that a variety of penny stocks (a term that refers to any stock below $5 a share) are below the the price of a carton of eggnog? While the stock market may experience volatility (a rapid distinct change in the value of shares) investing is a definite catalyst to narrow the “wealth gap” amongst black Americans according to the New York-based “Roosevelt Institute Study” of 2019. So why not get a piece of the pie this holiday season?

In alleged efforts to create a fairer bond system the state of California has initiated new legislation titled “Proposition 25” to appear on the Nov. 3 ballots. If passed this bill would replace cash bails with a coded process using “algorithms” to determine detainees eligibility for release. Do you think this proposal would further strengthen systematic racial bias or is this kind of measure long over due?
Update: Proposition 25 was rejected in the 2020 California state election therefore cash will continue to be king in a system that is supposed to surround itself around justice.

Have you ever been met in family court by a racist judge or magistrate? Did they speak condescending to you despite facts, academia or economic status? Is your child’s school sitting two scores from being dilapidated while the state flourishes? Did its 2020 fiscal year end with a 2 billion dollars in the bank like Indiana while it’s blackest city Gary categorically suffered? Has structural racism convinced you that if a cities tax base is low that the State should legally be allowed to leave it’s most vulnerable behind?
Is it common sense to conclude that tax bases generally are lower in black and minority communities due to redlining and systematic racism as a whole? Should children be punished as a result thereof? Did you ask how the governor could allow such? Does arriving at the overstanding that America is symbolically a democracy but physically a republic yield enough to forsake the local elections that also appear on the ballots Nov. 3? Or have you decided that regardless of the Caucasian male that assumes office in January there are just simply people in your localities be it courtrooms, school districts or governing your state that simply have to go?

On Oct. 5 according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons Kodak Black was transferred to Big Sandy after alleging via a lawsuit that the Oklahoma City facility he’d been held at was “torturous.” Do you think his choice to take legal action was the hearing aid to a system that plays deaf to incarcerated black people? Is Kodak Blacks song “Spar” which states “My life is hard enough, they not rewarding us, if I go to DC I’m trying to spar with Trump not a politician I can’t ignore this stuff” ringing eerily true? How about Dreezy’s cameo in the same song that says “Can’t say we represented when half the office white supremacist. This can’t be Land of the free, If kneeling might cost your position. I’m supposed to respect the system, They call our brothers sons of b**ches and when my Unc came home from prison for the same sh*t y’all tried to turn to a prison” sound as relevant to America’s legal system as ever? Are you praying things turn around for the young conscious rapper soon?
