The Fact-Based Intervention for Black America
Over 100 articles. 10 categories. Every claim evidence-based. Every article ends with solutions. Written by a man who reached 180 million people and built his record in broad daylight.
“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”
— James Baldwin
My name is Timothy E. Parker, the Guinness World Records Puzzle Master. For three decades, I have created difficult challenges and solutions for more than 180 million people in over 80 countries.
More than 1,400 clients, including Microsoft, Disney, Comcast, the Smithsonian, and hundreds of newspapers, have relied on my work to challenge minds and uncover solutions.
During those same years, I have watched equally complex problems devastate Black communities. These problems are debated endlessly but rarely confronted with facts, evidence, or measurable results. This site was created to change that.
I offer facts first. Hard truths. Real solutions.
If the facts make people uncomfortable, that is not the fault of the facts.

“Thirty years of building content consumed by 180 million people taught me something most commentators never learn: accuracy is not optional.”
That same obsessive standard — primary sources, verification, the difference between what sounds true and what is true — is the engine behind every article on this site. This is not ideology.
