Dr. Phil, Black Girl Thinks She Is White (Videos)

The Title of this video is, “Dr. Phil, Black Girl Thinks She Is White”

When I first saw this video of Treasure Richardson, I knew from the start it had to be a set up, a hoax, a scam or some such thing as that.  In the ensuing days after the airing of this segment, with a little ground work and exposure by Treasure’s Sister, Nina, it has come to light, that it is simply a scam for ratings and notoriety, perpetrated by a young woman and her mother who come from a very painful home life experience.  While that is no excuse, it does help to fan the flame of the outrageousness of their behavior that subsequently landed them on the Dr. Phil Show.

From my experience with African Americans who identified as “white” it would only take a moment or two before the “black-ish” would come out.  The illusion of race is really to perpetrate the fraud of the difference in color, when in fact it is the difference in ethnicity, culture, social orientation, lifestyle, etc. along with genetics that cause people of a certain ethnicity to manifest physically in  a certain general form causing a general grouping of individuals.

To my thinking, White Supremacy is just as toxic as Black Supremacy.  The two paradigms are pitched against one another to keep the separation active, but from a high station above the clouds, looking down on this planet, you see people, different people, but people nonetheless.

To me it shows how Creative the All Encompassing Divine Force can be in expressing itself through our physical reality.  A garden filled with one type of flower holds a certain beauty but a garden of many flowers has a certain exquisite beauty that leans towards being quite breathtaking.

In this video, I will be citing a commentary on this Dr. Phil segment, submitted to me, from an email buddy, named Chaz White.  With all the commentary on this segment, I have found  Mr. White’s commentary to be the most profound so with his permission I will share it here.

On Monday, October 29, 2018, Mr. White wrote:

 “Such as a man thinketh… Such as he is.”

Blind Ridiculous Conformity ensures success in the “out-sane asylum” controlled by con artists. In wrestling,and you control the head of your opponent to direct the body of your opponent.

This show, like many others could be well scripted performance art. The programming is directed by mischief makers, i.e. authors of confusion, to condition mentalities for continued slavery of the populace.

We should first ask: What is the purpose of this story? Why is she being featured and promoted?? How does it serve system lords?

Confusion that confuses to more confusion is understandable in western cultures based upon confusion, while making that confusion seem like normal behavior.

She is only telling the same lie as so called “white people” tell.

If others can tell the same lie, why should not she?

Pay attention to Dr. Phil’s comments and assertions. They are misguidedly misinformed and shows his ignorance based on the inconsistencies in his description of race being biologically definable.

He is after all DR. PHIL. Which means that his thoughts and research should be responsibly connected to the information he dispenses to the public such that it educates, rather than sensationalize the mind.

The so called, “well educated,” therapist was not any better. Neither she nor Dr. Phil chose to address Race, Racism, or Whiteness, with the fact based approach which she so eloquently referred.

It’s all a sham, scam, and ham, G-d Damn!

The system encourages scientific ignorance and moral stupidity, then preys upon it.

Snow is white. The albumen of a cooked egg is white. Clouds are white.

Humans are not White

The concept of whiteness is the source of racism. Every other definition of race is based on this flawed make-believe of “whiteness.”

The invention of “whiteness” is rooted in pretension and presumption of the mentally/emotionally unstable mind. It is “Royalism,” that is beyond reproach, inquiry or inspection. It’s great to be the a royal or associate one’s validity with royals.

Royalty does what it wants to do, without question  It is always the victor with the spoils. It is the way of spoiled, overindulged children. They get their way at the expense of others deemed by them as inferiors, no matter what.

The designation of so called “white people” is even scientifically inconsistent with the definition of white itself. If white is the mixture of all colors (i.e. wavelengths of light),  then that would mean that so called “white folks” are the most colored folks of all folks.

The inconsistency is heard when someone uses the oxy-morron that describes a person as a so called “black albino!”

Incidentally, the largest contingent of Albinos is in East Africa.

The attachment to “Whiteness” used to define any Humans,  as superior, is a pathological dis-ease designed to soothe mental and emotional instability, while cloaking inadequacies and validating oppression upon any arbitrarily group designated as “not so called white”.

The quality of the content of ones character has nothing to do with physical attributes of Humans. It has more to do with behavior and beliefs upon which that behavior is based.

All Humans without exception are related. That is to say they are family. A dysfunctional family, but they are family nonetheless.  The con artist profit from the dysfunction and keeping the Human dysfunctional. Read Stephen J. Gould’s, “The Misrepresentation of Man,” to understand the history of the propaganda against scientific facts.

Here is an experiment for you: Ask a “so called white person” to prove without a doubt that he/she is white.

Their explanations will be no better than this young lady on Dr. Phil. You will see it is a matter of Blind Ridiculous Conformity or simply put “make believe.”

It is time to “raid the game,” by going to the falsehoods of the matter and challenging the facts to arrive at the truth.

This concludes, Mr. White commentary on the Dr. Phil Show, featuring a “Black Girl who thinks She Is White.”

Thanks for listening, thanks for watching, peace and blessing to you, your family and loved ones.

"Is Michelle Obama A Man?" The Racist Implications (video)

NB Commentary: So, let’s talk about the racism and its implications on why folks believe Michelle Obama is a man. I briefly mention it in the 5th video in this series but I want to develop it a little more in this video.   Let me start by saying….. Racism/White Supremacy is a disease that has infected everyone, Black and White. The controllers felt that it was time to step it up a notch so they invented Racism/White Supremacy to enhance their control over the masses. Folks need to check out Tim Wise, a white boy, who candidly talks about Racism/White Supremacy/White Privilege.


Humans have always been discretionary in their interactions with other humans. It started with clans and tribes. Back in the ancient times, for the most part, everyone was of the same ethnic group so there was no need to promote separation by ethnicity. They would just divide themselves into clan groups, you know, the Hatfield’s and the McCoys, Hausa and the Fulani.  When the world became smaller due to humans moving out of their respective covens, they began to fear loss. This fear of loss caused them to be even more selective and exclusive. With the advent of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade indigenous peoples who already had their own clan identities were shipped into the Western world among mostly Europeans and their descendants.
Europeans were just as tribal as the Africans but now they had a new threat. The African. In order to preserve their place and protect their fears, they created the notion of race and race superiority.  I am not going to mention the names of the forerunners of this ideology, except to say, that I know the story, but I sometimes forget the names. Mr. Wise could probably give you those names and dates.
Over time, White supremacy became the calling card and Africans were relegated to the level of the underclass, ignorant, stupid, moronic with no moral values and no religion. Making these statements part of the educational system gave the Controllers ample ammunition to sustain their power, their property, their ideology and their Supremacy.
Politics became the stomping ground for the perpetration of the myth of racism as they separated the people into two groups. Whites and coloreds. they further instigated the divide by demonizing anyone who would want to protect and/or see the coloreds as equals with inherent human rights.
That started with the so-called Founders of this nation, most if not all whom were slave owners.  The so-called Founders did not have women or coloreds in mind when they said “all men are created equal.” They only had themselves and other rich landowners and bankers in mind. The words are lofty and people want to say them, but the intent was far from it.
The electoral college was established, and in counting the population of the United States, the African was considered 3/5 of a man in order to gain representation during the process of selecting the President of the United states. Blacks were only included because the southern states had a large population but did not feel they were equally represented, because they were not counting the Negroes. The 3/5th’s of a man clause was added, and clearly demonstrates the racism/white supremacy of those in power at the time.
The next move was to get the whites to rally behind the political leaders, even to their detriment and even against their own interests, if it meant that they could be part of the White Brotherhood, or the perceived White Privilege that would be granted to them due to the color of their skin. I could go on but I don’t want to make this video too long.
The whole thing is so convoluted.
Now, today, they are trying to say the Trump is dividing America. They are projecting their racism/white supremacy onto Trump. He gets to be the sacrificial lamb when in essence racism was there long before he got to the white house. Racism is a part of American culture. It is embedded into it.  And it is insidious and well hidden in many respects, not all, but in many.
So, when Obama became president the US, it showed just how divided this country was.  Some would like to say, they are not racist, because they voted for Obama. But, if you read articles and comments under them, you can get an idea of how racist folks really were. I believe they simply voted for him out of their desire to show the world, they were ready to open their hearts and minds. Unfortunately, as soon as he started doing stuff they didn’t like that old shoe came hurling out of the closet.
But you know what? I believe it’s all part of the agenda. It’s like slicing in to a whole pie.  You take one slice at a time till it’s all gone. Obama was used to start the pie slicing. The Puppet masters knew about the deep seated racism in this country because they spent centuries planting it. So, the horrible stuff that came out after he won, along with the death threats, to the point that they had to give his limo with extra protection,  Folks have tried to jump the wall, they arrested skin heads who threatened his life, and the Tea Party/Birther movement emerged with Trump at the helm. Quiet as it’s kept, blacks are still fighting for equal rights as citizens of the United States and they have birth certificates stating they were born here.
Attacks by the police skyrocketed and then, throw in the numerous false flag shootings and blaming Obama for being a Muslim, and you are down to a very few slices left to completely divide the country.
Personally, living in this country every day, what they should be saying is that the Obama’s needed their heads examined for even putting their lives and their children’s lives in jeopardy. Folks claim they are not racist, but they don’t understand how we process racism nor have they been the brunt of it.
We know that to call Michelle a man because she has masculine features is racist and goes all the way back to the slave trade.  We know that exploiting our women and their sexuality goes back there too. We know that the model of beauty and femininity is that of a white woman. We know that saying Obama is married to a man is racist because they are saying he is not man enough too have a real woman.  We also know that the cry for Obama to defend his woman is a reminiscent of the many times, our men were not even allowed to defend their women and had to watch their women abused in the most horrific ways.
Why is it that they see African Americans, in the position of POTUS and FLOTUS and point out that they are using taxpayers money? It’s a slap in the face, as if to say they are welfare recipients, another racist slur.  But isn’t that what Presidents and their wives and families do. They are getting paid to lay their lives out there for the entire world to scrutinize and that is how this system is set up, to use Taxpayer’s money. They make bombs to kill people with taxpayers’ money.
We know that black manhood has been the brunt of racism from saying that Michael Brown looked like a big beast, and he scared the Police officer. to making Obama effeminate.
We know this, but today, many don’t realize that they are racist, and that’s why I am bringing the aspect of racism being the hidden reason that folks want to believe Michelle Obama is a man.
Racism has gone into the dark corner of this country’s mind. It has been glossed over, powder puffed, affirmative actioned, and regentrified in communities across America, however, it still exists, because It’s etched into the DNA of whites and blacks, here and around the world.  Whether they were a party to any of it, the Ancestors, black and white, were.
African Americans do not have the luxury of forgetting that racism/white supremacy exists in this country. We see it everyday in some of the most insidious ways. We know what it looks like. We brace ourselves for it whenever we interact with White folks.  We know that sometimes they just don’t realize they are being racist.  Some of us know, that giving us a White God to Worship, is the most racist thing that could have ever been done to the Black Man.
The only way to stop it is for White folks to step out of their denial and accept that it’s there. Like an old shoe left in the closet, collecting dust, it’s still there and that old shoe, when the individual feels the most threatened, will be hurled.  Whites will then have to examine the many ways they show it and stop it!
White folks have to face the ugly past of their Ancestors and examine the thousands of ways their Ancestors perpetrated racism/white supremacy and be honest that it ain’t all gone, there’s still some tentacles of it left in them.
And then, and only then will white folks be in the position to cut away the tentacles of racism/white supremacy. And they may need a little help from their black friends who can tell them that what they said or did was patently racist.
Divide and conquer is the name of the game. If you got this far in my video I am grateful, and I want to say to all of you. We are all human beings, we have one home, planet earth, we are all of one race, the human race. We have ethnic differences and some advantages, but we are all human and like my mom used to say…. “our behind holes all point to the ground.”

Racist Prosecutor Who Acquitted Trayvon Martin’s Killer Loses Primary In Landslide

NB Commentary: So at least if you are going to vote, get these folks out of office and don’t replace them with another of the same ilk, for crying out loud.



Racist Prosecutor Who Acquitted Trayvon Martin’s Killer Loses Primary In Landslide

Posted on August 31, 2016
Republican prosecutor Angela Corey just lost in a primary election landslide by a 65% to 28% to the defense lawyer of a 12-year old child Corey prosecuted as an adult, raising a national uproar. People around the country are cheering Florida voters for removing America’s worst prosecutor from office after a relatively short eight years in office.


Angela Corey was hand picked by Florida’s despicable Republican Governor Rick Scott to prosecute the Trayvon Martin case against George Zimmerman which she lost by overreaching for a murder charge. In a stunning demonstration of racial disparity, Corey used her prosecutorial discretion to push for a 60-year jail sentence against a black woman who fired a warning shot during a domestic dispute with her abusive husband, which ultimately resulted in a 20-year prison sentence for Marissa Alexander, that was ultimately reduced to three years after national outcry erupted. 
Recently, the New York Times singled out Angela Corey as a death penalty zealot, resulting in her office handing out four times the number of state sanctioned murders at taxpayer expense than even Miami-Dade, the state’s largest county, a place which has double the population:
Angela Corey, 61, has made her reputation, in part, by winning verdicts that carry the death pen­alty. She has one of the highest rates of death sentences in the country, with 24 (19 in Duval) in the eight years since she was elected. Even compared with the three other Florida counties on the list of 16, Duval County is an outlier. The state attorney in one of the three, Miami-Dade County, which has twice the population of Corey’s jurisdiction and twice the annual number of murders, has five death sentences over the same period. Death-penalty opponents question whether Corey gives too little weight to the backgrounds of defendants.
“Other prosecutors in Florida care about mitigating evidence like chronic and serious child abuse,” says Stephen K. Harper, the executive director of the Florida Center for Capital Representation. “Angela Corey does not.”
So finally, a woman that Wonkette said was too awful even for Florida (my home state) will depart her office, leaving a wake of destroyed children’s lives after prosecuting them as adults, and cementing her reputation as America’s cruelest prosecutor by sending 75% of juvenile defendants to jail versus only 12% in Miami.
Trayvon Martin’s mother has not responded to the news of Angela Corey’s downfall on twitter yet.

The Real Reason White People Say ‘All Lives Matter’

NB Commentary: Great article! Well written! Points well taken.

The Real Reason White People Say ‘All Lives Matter’
 07/25/2016 05:57 pm ET 
Editor-at-Large at HumanisticPaganism.com and editor of Godless Paganism: Voices of Non-Theistic Pagans
Why “Black” Makes Us Uncomfortable
Dear fellow white people, let’s have an honest talk about why we say “All Lives Matter.” First of all, notice that no one was saying “All Lives Matter” before people started saying “Black Lives Matter.” So “All Lives Matter” is a response to “Black Lives Matter.” Apparently, something about the statement “Black Lives Matter” makes us uncomfortable. Why is that?
Now some white people might say that singling out Black people’s lives as mattering somehow means that white lives don’t matter. Of course, that’s silly. If you went to a Breast Cancer Awareness event, you wouldn’t think that they were saying that other types of cancer don’t matter. And you’d be shocked if someone showed up with a sign saying “Colon Cancer Matters” or chanting “All Cancer Patients Matter.” So clearly, something else is prompting people to say “All Lives Matter” in response to “Black Lives Matter.”
Many of the people saying “All Lives Matter” also are fond of saying “Blue Lives Matter.” If you find that the statement “Black Lives Matter” bothers you, but not “Blue Lives Matter,” then the operative word is “Black”. That should tell us something. There’s something deeply discomfiting about the word “Black.” I think it’s because it reminds us of our whiteness and challenges our notion that race doesn’t matter.
The Problem With “Colorblindness”
If you’re like me, growing up, the word “Black” was always spoken of in whispers in your family. It was like we were saying something taboo. Why was that? Because itwas taboo. We might feel more comfortable saying “African-American,” but not “Black.” The reason is that we were raised to believe that “colorblindness” was the ideal for whites. We were taught that we shouldn’t “see color.” And saying the word “Black” was an acknowledgment of the fact that we did “see color.”
The problem with being “colorblind” — aside from the fact that we’re not really — is that it is really a white privilege to be able to ignore race. White people like me have the luxury of not paying attention to race — white or black. The reason is because whiteness is treated as the default in our society. Whiteness is not a problem for white people, because it blends into the cultural background.
Black people, on the other hand, don’t have the luxury of being “colorblind.” They live in a culture which constantly reminds them of their Black-ness, which tells them in a million large and small ways that they are not as important as white people, that their lives actually do not matter as much as white lives. Which is why saying “Black Lives Matter” is so important.
“Black Lives [Do Not] Matter”
“All Lives Matter” is a problem because it refocuses the issue away from systemic racism and Black lives. It distracts and diminishes the message that Black lives matter or that they should matter more than they do. “All Lives Matter” is really code for “White Lives Matter,” because when white people think about “all lives,” we automatically think about “all white lives.”
We need to say “Black Lives Matter,” because we’re not living it. No one is questioning whether white lives matter or whether police lives matter. But the question of whether Black lives really matter is an open question in this country. Our institutions act like Black lives do not matter. The police act like Black lives do not matter when they shoot unarmed Black people with their arms in the air and whenBlacks are shot at two and a half times the rate of whites, even when whites are armed. The judicial system acts like Black lives don’t matter when Blacks are given more severe sentences than whites who commit the same crimes and are turned into chattel in a for-profit prison-industrial complex.
And white people act like Black lives do not matter when we fail to raise the appropriate level of outrage at unjustified killings of Blacks or when we respond with platitudes like “All Lives Matter.”
But we still say it. We say it because “All Lives Matter” lets us get back to feeling comfortable. “Black Lives Matter” makes us uncomfortable. Why? Because it reminds us that race exists. It reminds us that our experience as white people is very different from the experience of Black people in this country. It reminds us that racism is alive and well in the United States of America.
The New Face of Racism
Now, I just said the “R” word, so you’re probably feeling defensive at this point. You’re instinctively thinking to yourself that you are not a racist. You may be thinking that you have Black friends or that you don’t use the N-word or that you would never consciously discriminate against a Black person. But most racism today is more subtle than that. Sure, there is a lot of overt racism that still goes on. The KKK is still active and some white people do still say the N-word. But overt racism is really culturally unacceptable any more among whites today. The racism that we need to face today is much more insidious than white hoods and racial slurs. It is the racism of well-meaning people who are not consciously or intentionally racist.   
The racism that we need to face is the racism of average white middle-class Americans who would never think of saying the N-word and would vociferously condemn the KKK, but nevertheless unwittingly participate in institutionalized racism. We most often participate in racism by omission, rather than commission. We participate in racism when we fail to see it where it exists. We participate in racism when we continue to act like race is a problem that only Black people have. We participate in racism when we seek comfortable responses like “All Lives Matter.”
What We Can Do: Embrace the Discomfort
We white people need to embrace our discomfort. Here are some things we can do:
1. Recognize that we are not “colorblind.”
We can start by recognizing that we all have an “implicit bias” toward Blacks. Think you don’t have it? Consider how we mentally congratulate ourselves when we treat the random Black person the same way we treat white people. Here’s a tip, if you give yourself brownie points for treating Black people like you do white people, you’re not really treating Black people like white people.
Still don’t think you have unconscious bias, go to the Harvard implicit bias testing website and take the tests on race and skin-tone. Even white anti-racism activists like me have these biases. And they come out in all kinds of subtle ways, as well as not so subtle ways.
2. Work against unconscious bias by spending time with Black people in Black spaces.
Next, go out of your way to spend time with Black people in Black community settings. Many of us live segregated lives in which we have little to no interaction with Black people. Let’s face it, Black people make us white people uncomfortable. It’s because we’ve been socialized by a racist system to fear Black people.
Even if you feel comfortable around individual Black people, you most likely do not feel comfortable in a room full of Black people. You might have Black friends, but you probably socialize with them in white spaces. Have you ever been to a Black space and felt uncomfortable? Maybe you felt like no one wanted you there. Welcome to the everyday experience of Black people in white culture.
And when you go to a Black space, go to listen rather than lead. Learn to follow. Leading is a white privilege. Let go of it for a while and learn from those whose experience you will never have. Listen to Black people, and if what they are saying or how they are saying it makes you uncomfortable, so much the better.
3. Talk to white people about institutional racism and say “Black Lives Matter.”
It’s no good sitting around feeling guilty about white privilege. We need to do something about it. One thing we can do is to use our white privilege to dismantle it.
One white privilege we have is that other white people listen to us. We can go into white spaces and talk to white people about implicit bias and institutional racism. We can unapologetically proclaim that “Black Lives Matter.”
After the Orlando shooting, I went to an interfaith vigil in my small conservative town. Almost no one among the speakers said the words “queer,” “gay,” or “lesbian.” This was probably unconscious, but it revealed a lingering, but deep seated discomfort among heterosexuals with gayness and queerness, a discomfort that the popular use of the acronym “LGBT” obscures. Similarly, we whites are uncomfortable with Black-ness. We don’t even like like to say the word. It feels wrong in our mouths. We hide it by using code words like “inner city” or “urban,” terms which allow us to hide from our unconscious racism. We need to say “Black Lives Matter” because we need to overcome our discomfort with Blacks and face up to our unconscious bias.
Join the Second Civil Rights Movement
Dear fellow white people, we are in the middle of a second Civil Rights Movement. Most of us white people idealize Martin Luther King, Jr. and we like to think that we would have been on his side of things during the Civil Rights era. But the fact is thatthe majority of the American public did not support the Civil Rights movement while it was happening and only came to see King as a hero after he was killed.

The Civil Rights movement was unpopular among most whites when it was happening. It was unpopular because it made white people deeply uncomfortable. Today, the Black Lives Matter movement makes us uncomfortable, too. In forty years we will look back on this second Civil Rights movement and have to ask ourselves whether we were on the right side of history. If we want to be on the right side of history this time, we have to make ourselves uncomfortable. There is no comfortable way to change. And the change can start with saying this simple but powerful phrase: Black Lives Matter.
