Blue collar brothers under attack! By now you must have heard about Aaron Sloan, a well-built licensed plumber brother, who appeared on the popular "Pop the Balloon" dating show seen on YouTube recently. Aaron was being considered as a date for a lineup of lovely ladies, and they were keen to give them a piece of their mind after Aaron laidout his qualifications to be on his arm. It wasn't long before the loud sound of balloons being popped and sparks of the worst sort started flying - so much so, that it wound up to Aaron's place of employment being deluged with OVER FIVE HUNDRED PHONE CALLS - and resulting in Aaron's ouster from his job(!). As you might have guessed, everyone is talking about the latest viral moment in the Gender Wars in Black America - and we're gonna talk about it right here, ONLY ON RUMBLE!

Everyone's got an origin story; here's mine.

The great debate! Longtime and hugely controversial social media personality Tommy Sotomayor finds himself in the crosshairs (yet again!) for his conduct during a recent appearance on the popular Fresh & Fit show. Brandon Jamal, who's "Now You're A Single Mom" song has gone massively viral, was also present on Fresh & Fit and things didn't go well; he was "Frank Castled" off the show, and Sotomayor now finds himself at the center of yet another controversy, particularly with his real time debate with The Saint & The Sinner. The Saint argues, that Sotomayor, as a kind of "elder statesman" of the Black Manosphere, should have conducted himself a lot differently during the Brandon Jamal affair - even going so far as to suggest and accuse Sotomayor of being "unmanly" in talking about Jamal after his ouster. Sotomayor for his part, pleads his innocence - saying that he had no idea that Jamal would be present, nor was he familiar with him. Who's wrong? Who's right? We'll talk about it TODAY, ONLY on RUMBLE!

White girls gone wild! In the past few days, two specific instances of White women have come before the American public by way of social media have made their thoughts known and it would appear that quite a few Black people are upset. First, there's the instance of a White lady loctician out of Chicago, who made a blistering series of messages addressing Black women, which was swiftly responded to on the "Indisputable with Rashad Richey" program; and of course, there's the controversy swirling around one Ms. Lilly Gaddis, of Wilmington NC. The "trad wife" TikToker made a video lasting just under two minutes long, in which she assailed "n*ggas", "gold diggers" and "folks fresh off the boat looking for a green card". She appeared to be responding to elements of the Manosphere - possibly the Fresh & Fit crowd - given that she specifically mentioned Miami, where Fresh & Fit are based. In any event, a question emerges: Despite their less than eloquent way of putting their critiques - are these White women right? Is there a ring of truth to what they're saying? And why are so many Black people so very sensitive to the very things they seem to delight doing themselves, when others outside of Black America notices it? We're gonna talk all about it TODAY, ONLY ON RUMBLE!

Black Republicans under attack! Florida Congressman Byron Donald's' recent statement, made while on a visit to my hometown of Philly, about there being more intact, stable, two-parent homes in Black America during the Jim Crow era, is a simple statement of fact. But it wasn't long before the Left - led by Black women like MSNBC talking head Joy Reid - was all over Donaldson like a cheap suit. Misrepresenting his words, deliberately spinning the truth and more, these lowdown acts are precisely the reason why, per the most recent polls, Black men are backing former POTUS Donald J. Trump at double their numbers in 2016, according a Mar 18, 2024 article appearing on the Al-Jazeera website, "Why are Black voters backing Donald Trump in record numbers?". Is it really any wonder why the increasing gender divide between Black men and Black women continues to grow, following on the heels of Eboni K. Williams' impending delivery of her daughter that she chose to have as a single mom? Black America is now firmly in the spotlight as Ground Zero in the Culture Wars - and we'll talk about it TODAY right here, ONLY ON RUMBLE!

Start spreading the news! Reality tv show star, author and attorney Eboni K. Williams has just dropped the news that not only is she expecting and due in August, but that as promised, she got er done by way of the good ole turkey baster. Her baby bump, now quite prominent by all accounts with her show-all photoshoot widely seen and reported in People Magazine, now puts squarely into view some of the very hot button topics - like the hugely controversial "bus driver" scandal, and equally controversial and some would say even more importantly the breakdown of the Black family - which Eboni K. is through her actions, directly contributing to. How does the Black community square this and other glaring contradictions? We'll talk about it just in time for TGIF TODAY ONLY ON RUMBLE!

With a first ever POTUS being convicted of a crime - or, in Donald J. Trump's case, 34 of them(!) - the country seems to be in a tailspin. As the 2024 Presidential Election Campaign heads into the long summer months, Republicans and Democrats alike are looking to capitalize on the Trump verdict. But recent polls show Trump being up considerably over Joe Biden, and especially in the key battleground states, like mine in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania - where Black men made the difference in 2016 in putting Trump over the top. Since then, polling among Black men has continued to climb and more importantly, decline for Biden - but will that seachange increase even MORE now that Trump is a convicted felon? Black men have had a very nasty relationship with the criminal justice system, which has been repeatedly proven to be unfair to Men of Color; will Black men see themselves in Trump and will that be reflected in the polls? We're gonna talk about it TODAY on a special Saturday Morning Edition of Obsidian Radio with my special guest the one and only Hoodservative ONLY ON RUMBLE!

Longtime Black Hollywood vixen and B-list actress Vivica A. Fox has been thoroughly dragged up one side of Shea Butter TwitterX and down the other over the past few days. Why? Because of a recent spate of interviews, in which to soon to be sixty year late Baby Boomer said that she was ready to settle down and find her guy - sans the dating apps - because she's so traditional. Once again the so-called "gender wars" in Black America was ignited, with things breaking down largely along gendered lines: Black women see Vivica as being singled out for scorn and derision, seeing in her themselves; while Black men see Vivica as being emblematic of the kind of Black woman who squanders her best years messing around with F-boys and only now, firmly in the AARP camp, is she "ready" for a "real relationship". Who's right? Who's wrong? We'll talk about it TODAY ONLY ON RUMBLE!

What else is new, right? Longtime Black Manosphere critic F.D Signifier has dropped a lengthy video essay over the Memorial Day Weekend, where he gives his take on the meteoric rise and tremendously embarrassing fall from grace of Derrick Jaxn. Jaxn's heavy handed pandering to Black women, all the while showing so many signs that he was the fckboy he was "warning" the lovely ladies about all along, was something even Ray Charles could have seen coming down the pike from five clicks out. Nevertheless, Signifier doesn't seem to have the same fire in the belly for Jaxn that he does for the likes of Andrew Tate, Fresh & Fit and the late great "Saint Kevin" Samuels - heck, Fiq even goes so far as to say that Jaxn "still gave great advice" to the lonely, desperate and to be brutally frank, pathetic Black women who bought his crap. Why so much energy for the Black Manosphere but gives the King of the Effboys Derrick Jaxn a pass? We'll talk about it TODAY ONLY ON RUMBLE!

Modern Black Women fall for the okey doke yet again! By now you've heard about billionaire tech businessman and venture capitalist Ben Horowitz's statement about his Black wife, one Mrs. Felicia Horowitz - that she as a Black woman was "for grown men". Of course, it wasn't long before the lovely ladies of da communitah threw on their red capes and went flying out the window, capes flapping in the breeze at breakneck speed - meanwhile, Mr. Horowitz had this to say on the matter via Shea Butter TwitterX barely a week ago: "I never said that. I never even spoke to the woman who originally posted it. I sent her a cease and desist, but welp. I love my wife, but I don't talk like that about groups of people." BOOM! WHY are so many Black women so incredibly THIRSTY for the White Male Gaze? We're gonna talk about it, TODAY ONLY ON RUMBLE!
