Suicidal Tendencies is an American punk rock crossover thrash metal band formed in 1980 [5] in Venice Beach (Los Angeles), California, by vocalist [wannabee white gang member/bike clubber] Mike Muir.
Punk? I'm a one-man cult of personality for ca$h
The band [could be called a one-hit wonder with "Institutionalized" on MTV that] has undergone various lineup changes, with Muir as the only remaining original member. [Got ego?]
Their current lineup includes Muir, guitarists Dean Pleasants and Ben Weinman, bassist Tye Trujillo, and drummer Jay Weinberg.
Notable musicians who have contributed to the band's studio and/or live activities include:
guitarists Rocky George and Mike Clark;
bassists Louiche Mayorga, Bob Heathcote, Robert Trujillo, Ra Díaz, Josh Paul, and Stephen "Thundercat" Bruner; and
drummers Amery Smith, Jimmy DeGrasso, Brooks Wackerman, David Hidalgo Jr., Thomas Pridgen, Ron Bruner, Eric Moore, [Slayer's] Dave Lombardo, Brandon Pertzborn, Greyson Nekrutman, and session musician Josh Freese.
It's punk/thrash, but is it hardcore enough?
Along with D.R.I., Corrosion of Conformity, and Stormtroopers of Death, Suicidal Tendencies is often credited as one of "the fathers of crossover thrash" [6, 7, 8]. They have released 14 studio albums... More: Suicidal Tendencies
There was a "Mann Act" (previously called the White-Slave Traffic Act, a U.S. federal law passed in the summer of 1910, Ch. 395, 36 Stat. 825, codified as amended at 18 U.S.C. §§ 2421–2424) named after [racist American] Congressman James Robert Mann of Illinois), and the white 54th Gov. of NY Eliot Spitzer was going to be prosecuted under it decades later for his prostitution scandal?
(TYT Sports) Sept. 29, 2025: A resurfaced Dave Chappelle standup comedy bit about legendary Black heavyweight champion Jack Johnson perfectly captures why MAGA’s crusade to rewrite and erase history is so dangerous. Johnson’s story exposed the fragility of white supremacy in the boxing ring and beyond — and the violent backlash that followed. As Rick Strom explains, Chappelle’s comedy reveals deeper truths about America’s refusal to confront racism, and why protecting Black history is essential. #TYTsports #Sports #RickStrom
Dave Chappelle and Muhammad Ali were right about Jack Johnson
(Lu Mazing) Aug. 22, 2025: Jack Johnson was more than a boxing champion, he was a revolutionary figure who challenged a racially divided world. Dave Chappelle highlights how Johnson defeated white champions and lived boldly without fear, openly defying the rules of his time and inspiring generations of Black people to embrace courage and self-worth.
Muhammad Ali reminds us of the sheer bravery of Johnson standing completely alone, facing threats and hostility when there were no civil rights organizations to support him. His resilience became a symbol for all Black people to fight for dignity and pursue their dreams.
Donald Trump posthumously pardoned Johnson, acknowledging the injustice he endured under the racist Mann Act, recognizing his extraordinary achievements and legacy as a trailblazer in sports and society. This video brings together perspectives from comedy, sports, and history to show how Jack Johnson changed the world and why his courage continues to inspire us all.

African Mansa Musa (died in 1337), Emperor of Mali, the richest man in history and the richest country, a place of wisdom with books and scholarship to rival any European university: ignored and hidden in colonial history
Scientists discover the real origin of the Olmecs, who were previously supposed to be Blacks arriving from Africa and setting up a civilization on the American continent.
(Mysterious Origins) Before the arrival of the genocidal Spanish in 1519, Mexico and Central America (including Panama, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Belize, and Guatemala) was home to some of the most advanced civilizations in the world, including the Maya, Aztec, Zapotec, and Mixtec peoples.
These civilizations built clean, massive, and complex cities that amazed the Spanish, developed sophisticated writing and calendrical systems, and engaged in extensive trade networks.
However, the Spanish conquest, led by the infamous Conquistador Hernán Cortés, resulted in a dramatic transformation of the region for the worse.
The collision of these two civilizations — indigenous Mesoamerican (southern North American) societies and European imperial ambition — resulted in the creation of modern Latino identity, a blending of indigenous and Spanish/European bloodlines.
What about the ruling ET monsters?
Colonization brought not only a new language, religion, and customs but also a reshaping of political and social structures, often at the expense of indigenous autonomy.
The conquest nearly wiped out these Native groups, but indigenous cultures proved remarkably resilient, influencing everything from language and cuisine to spirituality and artistic traditions.
(The Alt Vault) BLACK SABBATH are back one last time(or maybe money will get them to do another farewell tour and sell out all over again like most dinosaur rockers with a ghoul like Sharon Osbourne managing the lead singer Ozzy) | Back to the Beginning.
How did "heavy metal" ever even start in 1968? - What are Black Sabbath's best songs?
Aha, Mr. Faust, you admit it!
What is Black Sabbath/Ozzy's best song? Sure there's "War Pigs," "Iron Man," "Paranoid" (final song of the night), "Bark at the Moon," "Crazy Train," but sincerely it has to be the one that stayed relevant and fresh, the one that started it all, "Black Sabbath." It's a masterpiece that, with its down tuning, may have started the genre of dark heavy metal or black metal. (Although "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" is pretty good, too, for a pretty song, even "Snowblind"). With Pantera and other legends wishing them a farewell, can BS really say goodbye?
Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the US celebrated annually on June 19th to commemorate the ending of legal slavery in the United States.
The holiday's name, first used in the 1890s, is a portmanteau of the words "June" and "nineteenth," referring to June 19, 1865, the day when Major General Granger ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas at the end of the American Civil War [8, 9].
In the Civil War period, slavery was brought to an end in various areas of the United States of America at different times. Many enslaved Blacks in the South escaped, demanded wages, stopped work, or even took up arms against the Confederacy of slave states.
We were lied to by the US gov't about Blacks
In January 1865, the U.S. Congress finally proposed the Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution for the national abolition of slavery.
By June 1865, almost all enslaved persons had been freed by the victorious Union Army or by state abolition laws. When the national abolition amendment was ratified in December, the remaining enslaved people in Delaware and in Kentucky were freed.
Early Juneteenth celebrations date back to 1866, at first involving church-centered community gatherings in Texas. They spread across the South among newly freed African-Americans and their descendants and became more commercialized in the 1920s and 1930s, often centering on a food festival.
Participants in the Great Migration brought these celebrations to the rest of the country. During the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, these celebrations were eclipsed by the nonviolent determination to achieve civil rights but grew in popularity again in the 1970s with a focus on African-American freedom and African-American arts.
Beginning with Texas by proclamation in 1938, and by legislation in 1979, every U.S. state and the District of Columbia has formally recognized the holiday in some way.
Juneteenth is also celebrated by the Mascogos, descendants of Black Seminoles who escaped from slavery in 1852 and settled in Coahuila, Mexico [10].

What does Juneteenth celebrate? Meaning and origins explained: Thursday (June 19th) marks 160 years since the origin of June-teenth, which commemorates the day the last group of enslaved people found out they were free. Long a holiday in the Black community and now federally recognized, the celebrations kick off each June 19th, allowing people to gather, dance, reenact pivotal moments in history, and more.
10 little-known truths about the Black Seminole scouts of the Old West: History rarely spotlights those who operated in the shadows, yet the Black Seminole Scouts were among the most fearless and skilled figures of the American frontier. Born from a powerful blend of African, Seminole, and Mexican heritage, these scouts helped shape the outcome of westward expansion—often without the recognition they deserved. Their story is one of survival, strategy, and resilience against impossible odds.
Whites (Caucasian, Anglo-Saxon, American white supremacists, British, German Nazis) enslaved people and stole cultural knowledge from Blacks in Africa (and the Americas), Reds in the Americas, ancient Indians (Dravidians and Aryans) in India?
