I went to school in Alabama. I went to college at 15. I was very young. And Alabama was a predominantly white state.  “So being an African kid in a university where it’s 13%  black people, it’s amazing. It’s not easy. I had to learn a lot of the things when I was like, “Yo, why you look at me like that?” And not even just being black, being African. They used to ask me questions like, “Yo, how’d you get to America?” I’m like, “What yo...

Trump releases agenda for second term if re-elected

Image
  The Trump campaign has released a 9-point wishlist for President Trump's second term if re-elected. Trump's release of his second term agenda comes ahead of the Republican party's National Convention on Monday night August 24, and comes after Trump has repeatedly struggled to detail what his second term might look like, which has left critics questioning whether he even had an agenda. The campaign team, and Trump himself, plan to promote this agenda throughout the convention which will hold throughout this week. A key criticism of the Democratic National Convention last week is that the Biden campaign failed to substantively lay out the policies Joe Biden would implement if president rather focusing heavily on Biden's character.   Here is Trump's agenda below. 1.Health care and coronavirus: -Lower prescription drug prices and insurance premiums. -End surprise billing. -Develop a vaccine by the end of 2020. -Make all critical medical supplies and trea...

Do you really believe you have a black life? Do you want me to read to you the meaning of black? “Who called you black? Shouldn’t you have rejected that from the beginning? A contradiction, a bundle of contradiction. You refused negro and nigga… But that’s what black is. You took the English version. “Negro means black. Do you know what black means… Have you ever seen black? Black means the absence of ...

Image
  Manchester City defender Oleksandr Zinchenko, has come out to clarify comments made by his wife, after she accused his manager Pep Guardiola of being at fault for his team's shock Champions League defeat to Lyon. Guardiola's 3-5-2 tactics during the match backfired, as Man City suffered a 3-1 defeat to Lyon and Zinchenko’s new bride, Vlada Sedan, who is a sports presenter in her native Ukraine, criticized Guardiola, saying on her YouTube channel : “You saw what happened. I'm not a football player, not a coach, not a critic or an analyst. I understand that my opinion is not authoritative. “Perhaps I have no right to say this, and perhaps Zinchenko will forbid me, but to put it mildly, in order not to swear, this is completely Guardiola's fault. “At such a crucial moment, using such an experimental tactic for City was a bummer. I have no right to criticise, but why play three central defenders? “I simply have no words because to have such a line-up. Look a...
