As you point our and documentb history is not McKinneys strong suit.

They are insidious racists, in fact their human ownership mentality is boldly put on display. As a member of the slavery party he shouts from the roof top he has this genetic defect thinking he owns people. He will support slave owner schools, he will support disarming the people he thinks he owns and he will support efforts to take their money away as massa has a better way for your money to be spent.

Mr. Sullivan, you're commentaries reek of consistently White-washing and "re-imagining" historical facts, and worse, your commentaries belittle the atrocities engineered by White people against people of color. Your comment, "If I was a Black teenager and subject to your line of thinking, I would become a thief," not only reeks of Whiteness, bu only validates your FAILURE TO ACKNOWLEDGE HISTORICAL FACTS, CURRENT REALITIES, AND LINEAR PROJECTIONS, which is also true of many Black people. Mr. Sullivan, where's your evidence, your proof that actually proves the robust data I've presented is false??? You have none. Your "intellectualizing" is crap (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/09/09/us/powerful-people-race-us.html). You're full of opinions, Mr. Sullivan, but have absolutely no FACTS to validate any of your stupid assessments.

I advocate that Black people create and sustain Black owned-controlled-operated businesses, because as factually documented, integration has NEVER improved any aspect of the Black experience in the United States of America (http://tripoetry.com/Black.htm#PERPETUAL). Conversely, you clearly advocate for people of color to remain subservient and oppressed to White people, which clearly makes you a racist. Yes, Mr. Sullivan, a racist.

Here's exactly what I've actually told Black teenagers subject to my line of thinking (for decades):

"We have the power of numbers, the power of organization, and the power of spirit. Let me explain what I mean. Sixteen million people are a force to be reckoned with, and indeed there are many nations in the U.N. whose numbers are less." Paul Robeson, Source: "Here I Stand" © 1958 by Paul Robeson (Legendary Black American athlete, bass baritone concert artist, stage and film actor, and political activist), page 92, fifth paragraph

"How long are you gonna sit around begging White people to do for us when we have the power to do for ourselves?" Minister Louis Farrakhan

Integration doesn't mean a damn thing unless you OWN it!™ Trip Reynolds

I "challenge" not only Black teenagers, but all people, to make informed decisions based on facts:

> Despite being "locked out" of a White owned and controlled film industry for more than a century, and despite being perpetually subservient to a White owned and controlled film industry that has perpetually defined the "image" of Black people, "we're" supposed to believe Black people lack the initiative, intelligence, gusto, or simply refuse to coalesce their economic, political, and creative wealth to develop, evolve, and sustain their own film industry, really?

> When White people make Black people as rich as Oprah Winfrey, or Michael Jordan, or Berry Gordy, or Robert Johnson and so many others, and these rich Black people fail to align themselves to create dynamic business enterprises to uniquely advance the socio-economic status of other Black people, then yes, these Black people are not just Uncle Tom's, egotistical, stingy, and narcissistic, they are also stupid . . . and weak . . . cowards . . . and not deserving of any respect or idolatry.

> In "Hollywood" ultimate control has been and continues to be primarily dictated by White Jewish men. As published in the LA Times article, How deeply Jewish is Hollywood? C'mon - "When the studio chiefs took out a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times a few weeks ago to demand that the Screen Actors Guild settle its contract, the open letter was signed by: News Corp. President Peter Chernin (Jewish), Paramount Pictures Chairman Brad Grey (Jewish), Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Robert Iger (Jewish), Sony Pictures Chairman Michael Lynton (surprise, Dutch Jew), Warner Bros. Chairman Barry Meyer (Jewish), CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves (so Jewish his great uncle was the first prime minister of Israel), MGM Chairman Harry Sloan (Jewish) and NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker (mega-Jewish). If either of the (Jewish) Weinstein brothers had signed, this group would have not only the power to shut down all film production but to form a minyan with enough Fiji water on hand to fill a mikvah."

> Don't blame White people, especially White men, for the perpetual "stupidity" of Black people, other minorities, and women to constantly feel-the-need to have White men to validate their creative and technical accomplishments.

Unlike you, Mr. Sullivan, I hold both White and all "people of color" accountable for the perpetual discrimination and oppression that's clearly racially-based. Conversely, you offer crap (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitewashing_in_film) and more crap (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_savior_narrative_in_film), and ignore facts: https://youtu.be/8tEuaj4h8dw?si=R4tEBkY1OpRXGOYe

Why don't you try selling your crappy and skewed views of history to the People of Lakotah? Huh??

Mr. Sullivan, although you lack the intellectual acumen and the hands-on professional subject matter expertise in AA/EEO/DEI required to have an intelligent discussion in this area, nevertheless, I've responded to your "Andrew's Thinking Newsletter," hoping that you might actual "think" about my fact-based "responses" to the crap you write. Instead of elevating your thinking, you lock-down and cry, "How dare some one disagree with my thinking?"

Again, Mr. Sullivan, where's your evidence, your proof that actually proves the robust data I've presented is false??? You have none. Your "opinions" are crap. 'Nuff said.
