By Lucius Gantt I spent my first few years of life living on Angier Avenue in one of Atlanta’s most dangerous neighborhoods called “Fourth Ward”. Everyone, friends and neighbors called me “Bay Bro”. If you don’t know, that short for “baby brother”. Fourth Ward included a depressed but well-known area called “Buttermilk Bottom” and also the world-famous Auburn Avenue, where many famous Black churches and Black businesses were located. Angier Avenue became the beginn

By Lucius Gantt It's June 15, 2026 and President Donald Trump is preparing to share his Iran peace plan with members of the G7, one of the world's most powerful group of nations. If you don't know, Trump was advised or told by Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu to assist Israel in bombing Iran, allegedly to prevent Iran from enriching uranium to the extent the enriched uranium could be used to make nuclear weapons. Well, Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons and nev

By Lucius Gantt Have you bought your chicken and ribs yet? I don't really do holidays but many of my friends and neighbors love a good federal holiday, and they love time with dad on Father's Day. The President should be enjoying himself at His Trump appreciation celebration that will masquerade as a governmental recognition of America's 250th year as a nation. We all know why there is no recognition of the "Juneteenth Holiday", if Trump mentions "Juneteenth",

By Lucius Gantt The Gantt Report is the strongest Black media voice in the world. I encourage President Donald Trump to refrain from disrespecting Black female, and male, media professionals who are merely doing their jobs. MAGA members know who I am. Supremacists know who I am and insurrectionists know my name! No journalist has stood up, stepped forward, and criticized Presidential misconduct more than TGR. I'm not having anyone disrespect the profess

By Lucius Gantt The President of the United States is tricky. Donald Trump made a headline recently comenting on a fake plan to increase Black employment opportunities in America for African Americans. Which one do you believe, the President who has fired more federal employees with African ancestry in history or the President who is boasting about Blacks getting low level jobs in coal mines and other hazardous job positions? Raking leaves is honorable work bu

By Lucius Gantt About four or five years ago, I told my close friends and family that I was on a mission from God. I didn't exactly know what my mission would entail but I knew I had to be in alignment with the mpst high. I've spent time with many African American religious leaders. My friends included Christians, Muslims, Jews, Santeros, Yorubas, and people of other faiths. One day, one of my family members made the decision to steal money that belonged t

By Lucius Gantt One of my best friends in life was Imam Muhammed Siddeeq. Siddeeq named me "Abdul Haqq" and he guided me spiritually even though Islam was not my faith of choice. Muhammed Siddeeq wrote the foreword in my second TGR book, "Beast Too: Dead Man Writing". In the foreword Siddeeq described me as "Lucius, the light". At the time, I didn't comprehend his description but as I asended spiritually, I found and understood my friend's comments. On

By Lucius Gantt The firing of CBS "60 Minutes" journalist Scott Pelley touched my heart. I appeared on a CBS news show with home run king Henry Aaron. There were so many reporters seeking comments from Aaron, "The Hammer", who only did press conferences as he got closer and closer to breaking Babe Ruth's home run record. But two days before the record-breaking season began, Aaron agreed to allow two reporters to interview him at the same interview ses

By Lucius Gantt When I was a sportswriter, covering boxing matches was one of my favorite jobs. Fans called the big boxing matches, "championship" boxing but the fighters called each match a "prize fight" because the winner would win the prize, or the most money. Political elections are prize fights too. Most candidates seek political titles, good political benefits, free meals and alcoholic beverages, political conferences in Las Vegas, Miami, and other "fun

By Lucius Gantt Data center debates are pretty extensive in America these days. Are the huge technological data wonders something of interest and important to Black people? I think yes! Technology companies, computer manufacturers, AI companies, social media companies benefit from data centers. Data center builders and owners say datacenters generate local tax revenues, create temporary construction jobs, increase investments in local power grids, high spee

By Lucius Gantt America will be celebrating it's 250th anniversary on July 4, 2026. The event will mark the adoption date of the Declaration of Independence. The event will not be as unifying as American citizens will expect. The 250th anniversary will primarily be a birthday event for the worse president in United States history. No one has done more to discredit the American Way, disparage the American Constitution, and divide the American citizenry more

By Lucius Gantt I get it. I know Blacks in Broward County Florida feel some kind of way about Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Shultz switching districts after the recent gerrymandering by Florida Republicans in the state legislature. Debbie is no friend of mine but if she can beat the Black candidate in a predominately Black Congressional district, what's the problem? Just because Florida Congressional District 20 has had a history of Black representation, it doesn't

By Lucius Gantt My "Black Phone" has been ringing off of the hook this week. Friends from South Florida are outraged because they feel a white candidate has announced intentions to run for a "Black" Congressional seat in Congress. Well, apparently none of the candidates seeking to win a race for Florida's 20th Congressional District read The Gantt Report because if they did, they would know that Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Shultz is perhaps the most powerful campaigner i

By Lucius Gantt A "boycott" is the act of voluntarily and intentionally refusing to buy, use, or deal with a product, person, organization, country, or business. Boycotts were once a useful tool in the civil rights movement. Stores, restaurants, buses, and other businesses felt an economic hit when Black Americans refused to spend money with targeted companies. Today, perhaps Blacks living in the United States should target the companies that finance economic a

By Lucius Gantt The latest diabolical plan proposed by the government grifter-in-chief is President Donald Trump's plot to compensate white supremacists, neo-nazis, and other MAGA members who were arrested for attacking the United States Capitol in an effort to stop the transfer of Presidential power in 2020. TGR gets it. TheTrump MAGA militia, in Trump's mind, must be compensated before a second attempt is launched to turn America into a dictatorship and end Americ

By Lucius Gantt Malcolm X's personal and political philosophy was based on Black Nationalism. Burkina Faso leader, Ibrahim Traore, is speaking about African nationalism right now. African Americans, in my opinion, have always gravitated toward "progress" but they have chosen the paths designed, or ordered, by their oppressors and exploiters. A "carpet bagger" is a opportunistic outsider who travels to a community outside of his own neighborhood with the aim

By Lucius Gantt Let me begin this post with this, Iran does not have a nuclear weapon. The country has never had a nuclear weapon. Iran has uranium but reports say the country's uranium is only sixty percent enriched. You have to have 90 percent enriched uranium to construct a bomb like the one the United States dropped on Japan. I think the "Iran war" is an illusion created by Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu. Perhaps, the goal is to use false and fake info

By Lucius Gantt You wonder where your money when you elect a thief as president! Vladimir Putin, the Russian President, trains his assets well. Putin, Donald Trump's best political friend and advisor, is happy as a wolf in an American hen house! How crazy can the Russian boogieman,or Babayka, be? Trump's idea to rob United States tax payers of abouty $1.7 billion to pay seditionist, insurrectionists, and white supremacists is crazy who attacked the United S

By Lucius Gantt The most utilized political tricks played on Black voters and Black citizens are lies and false promises. If you don't know, elected officials are friends with each other. Democrats and Republicans love each other, defend each other, protect each other and support each other more than they support you. Before I go too far, African Americans must go to the polls and cast their ballots! Every citizen has a right to vote and every Black citizen h

By Lucius Gantt Every day, someone in your circle lies to you. Some elected offcials, like President Trump, some businesses thyat you patronize, friends, family members, neighbors, and false friends and lovers work hard to mislead you and misinform you. Usually, your biggest liars are the ones seeking to benefit from any illusions created by the purposeful untruths. A liar will pretend to be your loved one, act like they are your supporter or benefactor, claim
