Morning Thought
I have been noticing certain YouTubers who are now using the power of YouTube to shut down channels that disagree with their opinions. What these YouTubers don’t realize is that they have officially relinquished ANY and ALL complaints about the same YouTube taking down THEIR videos over “opinion”.
They have now become part of the very system they have accused targeting them by removing certain videos. Why? “Because YouTube don’t want you to hear this ‘truth'”.
See how that works?

Did you know that the Black Panther Party once filed a lawsuit against Ike and Tina Turner?
You are going to have to zoom in to read the full article, but I’ll give you a quick recap.
The Panthers were putting on a fundraiser event for the community. Ike and Tina Turner were invited to perform. But like many top performers, they charged a fee. The fee was $7500 in cash for an hour. That was a lot back in that day and kinda counterproductive when you are trying to raise money for a different cause. But, the Panthers agreed. The only problem? They only had $7000 in cash at the time. To make up the difference, the Panthers offered to pay the remaining $500 by check. Ike and Tina pushed back at first, but then agreed.
So they took to the stage to perform, and after a few songs, they pulled the plug and decided to leave claiming that they felt “threatened” to perform. You can read the rest in the article.
From AP (Link for full article)
“More than 150 years ago, a prison complex known as the Lone Rock stockade operated at one of the biggest coal mines in Tennessee.
It was powered largely by African American men who had been arrested for minor offenses — like stealing a hog — if they committed any crime at all. Women and children, some as young as 12, were sent there as well.
The work, dangerous and sometimes deadly, was their punishment.
The state was leasing these prisoners out to private companies for a fee, in a practice known all across the South as convict leasing. In states like Texas, Florida, Georgia and Alabama , prisoners were also used to help build railroads, cut timber, make bricks, pick cotton and grow sugar on plantations.

In a joint investigation, reporters from the Associated Press and Reveal at the Center for Investigative Reporting spent months unearthing this history. They focused on Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railroad, which ran the stockade and coal mine, and the company that later bought it, U.S. Steel.
The team found someone living today whose ancestor was imprisoned in the Lone Rock stockade nearly 140 years ago. They also interviewed the descendent of a man who got rich from his role in pioneering Tennessee’s convict leasing system.
The reporters also heard from U.S. Steel. For the first time, it said it was willing to discuss its past with members of the affected community.
And finally…
Continuing on the topic we have been discussing since last week, here is another example for you.
Well, WHO is the founder of Pink News?
