We Go Deep!

Janet Jackson getting dragged.

Bad optics.

It appears that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have a 53% chance of victory. The electoral college should place her between 270-305 electoral votes. Things can change. October is one week away and so far no major scandals to affect Harris.

Janet Jackson fires her publicist. Mo Elmasri was fired out the cannon after a statement was made and an apology was issued. That apology was not authorized. Of course, it leads to more controversy.

Randy Jackson, her brother (born Steven Randall Jackson) is riding in MAGAland.

Oh, former president Donald J. Trump thought Puerto Rican rapper Nicky Jam as a woman. Puerto Rico is a U.S. Commonwealth with semi-free association. Citizens born on the island are U.S. citizens who can freely travel to the mainland.

Wow, the Trump campaign has a bunch of idiots running his campaign. He is aided by the Republican National Committee, Russia, Israel, InfoWars, Fox, Newsmax, Breitbart, The Daily Mail, The Daily Wire, Tucker Carlson Media, NewsNation and Gateway Pundit.

Jackson and her team did not walk back the false claim that Vice President Kamala Harris ain't Black. This gatekeeper of Blackness is a part of the far right and FBA/ADOS noise.

FBA is Foundational Black American. 

It is a group of Black separatists who strongly favor reparations and their own governance from white rules. It was founded by Tariq Nasheed, a former singer/rapper who is a proponent of "Foundational Black Americans" (FBA). It is an ideology and movement he founded, which is defined as, "any person classified as Black, who can trace their bloodline lineage back to the American system of slavery. To be designated as an FBA, at least one parent must come from a non-immigrant background in The United States of America." Nasheed believes FBAs must "seek out reparations for their own" and that American-born descendants of the American slave trade have not adequately sought out resources for themselves.

Nasheed is known for his use of the term "bed wench" and the related term "Negro bed wench mentality". He uses the term to refer to black women who date interracially. He revived and popularized use of this term, which historically was used to disparage black women who were raped by their masters during slavery. Ebony Magazine described Nasheed's conception of the term "bed wench" as a put-down of successful black women who challenge the institutions of black patriarchy. Nasheed also uses the term "buck breaking" to refer to the sexual abuse of Black men, particularly in the context of slavery, via a documentary of the same name, which MEL Magazine described as containing "uncooked nonsense" and being largely inaccurate.

According to Refinery29, Nasheed "is notorious for his misogynistic, queerphobic, xenophobic and often ahistorical commentary on Blackness in America." Stephen Kearse in The New York Times Magazine refers to Nasheed as a "conspiracy buff".
