Back in April, I publicly exposed William Nicholas Palmer after he called my church and left a racist, hate-filled voicemail because I posted an image depicting Jesus as Black. I tagged the FBI because we were told this administration would aggressively investigate threats and harassment against churches. Nothing. Now he’s back again. More profanity. More racial slurs. More obsession with defending a mythical white Jesus while sounding nothing like the Christ he claims to follow. Imagine being s

Brandon Tatum 🇺🇸 says it’s outrageous that anyone would question the white boys who were with Nolan Wells before his death. Really? American history says otherwise. Black people haven’t just been “suspected.” We’ve been arrested, beaten, prosecuted, convicted, imprisoned, and even executed with little more evidence than the color of our skin. • The Scottsboro Boys: Nine Black teenagers falsely accused of rape by two white women. Eight were convicted. Years later, one accuser admitted she lied. •

COMING SOON TO NETFLIX… 🎬 The Difference Between a Costume and a Credential. Preparing for my Netflix documentary about what it actually takes to earn a real doctorate: years of coursework, comprehensive exams, original research, a successfully defended dissertation, committee reviews, and a degree conferred by an accredited institution of higher learning. Apparently, in 2026, the radical idea that academic titles should be earned, not performed, is controversial. Some people rehearse talking po

WAS NOLAN WELLS MURDERED? Three white boys, one the son of a judge, another the son of a lawyer, and another the son of a law enforcement officer, go to an island in Mississippi on July 4 with a Black teenager. They come back. He doesn’t. His cellphone does. Days later, Nolan Wells is found dead. Authorities are reviewing video reportedly showing an altercation before he allegedly disappeared. The explanation offered is that Nolan simply decided to stay alone on a remote island and somehow find

From dolls to wedding dances…my little girl will always be Daddy’s girl ❤️ Our father-daughter dance to Beyoncé’s “Daddy” was a moment I’ll cherish forever. Love you, Niecy.

Paula White-Cain didn’t just cross a line, she obliterated it. To compare Donald Trump to Jesus Christ is not just bad theology, it’s blasphemy wrapped in political propaganda. It’s heresy. Jesus said, “I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” Trump deports Black and brown immigrants and cages children at the border. Jesus said, “Suffer the little children to come unto me.” Trump protects and surrounds himself with men tied to child exploitation, shielding rich and powerful pedophiles while the vu

I am deeply humbled to have received the Faith-Based Advocacy Award at the 2nd Annual Ben Crump Human Rights Honors in Atlanta. To be recognized by @attorneycrump, a relentless champion for justice who has carried the cries of grieving families into courtrooms and into the conscience of this nation, is an honor I do not take lightly. Sharing the stage with leaders like @keishabottoms and @drtiffanycrutcher reminded me that this work is bigger than any one person. It is a movement. It is a mandat

If I could go back and sit with two giants, it would be Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. One taught us to love ourselves enough to resist, the other taught us to love humanity enough to redeem it. I’ve always said I’m a cross between the two: a seminary-trained pastor, prophetic agitator, a Christian in faith with an uncompromising conscience. Like King, I believe the Gospel demands justice. Like Malcolm, I refuse to beg for dignity or dilute the truth They had different strategies but the s

Dear White America, You cannot ERASE US! Sincerely, Black People

Dismantling Myths: Bishop Talbert Swan sparks a fiery conversation by challenging the notion that Christianity excludes the Black community. He's unearthing the African roots woven into every facet of the Christian faith, and shedding light on attempts to sever the vital ties to the Black Diaspora. But that's just the tip of the iceberg... Swan doesn't hold back in exposing the 'whitenized' rendition of Christianity, where scripts were contorted to preach subservience. He's waving the banner of
