The Burden!
There was a time when some of my people took drastic steps to “pass” in America. In the odd event that you don’t know what passing is I’ll explain. If you were light bright and almost white some black folks consciously decided to live as white. My own family had experience with this. My mother […]
The Truth And Nothing But The Truth
The truth is a tough thing to deal with sometimes. We were never meant to be a Democratic Republic. We were meant to embrace the illusion. Just think about this, 22 of the smallest states in this country by population account for 44 of the seats in the Senate. Those 22 states plus or minus […]
A Father’s Guidance
It began with my father. He insisted that after school each day I devote two hours to studying. It didn’t matter whether I came home without homework, I was still required to study. I didn’t know it at the time but he was preparing my mind. I would become a sponge soaking up knowledge along […]
A Fraud Perpetrated On The People!
The truth is a tough thing to deal with sometimes. We were never meant to be a Democratic Republic. We were meant to embrace the illusion. Just think about this, 22 of the smallest states in this country by population account for 44 of the seats in the Senate. Those 22 states plus or minus […]
Independence Day
Yesterday on the fourth of July we didn’t barbecue, entertain or leave the house. I did not feel the need to celebrate something that was not meant to encompass me or people that did not look like me. I’ve grown weary of the hypocrisy. If I hear that “it takes time” one more time I […]
It Was Always A Con
The con game is real. They always want to talk about American exceptionalism. Exactly what is that and how do we demonstrate it? I read a comment where someone said that we’re better than those places with dictators, royalty, and oligarchs. That represents a pretty low bar for establishing American exceptionalism. Actually what we are […]
It Takes A Village
Like so many other people my heart breaks for Wynter. I’ve seen so many comments today regarding the senseless death of this child. We have trauma running rampant in our community yet we can not come together to secure our community. We have the power but lack the will. We are reactive rather than proactive […]
History Has Teacher!
History is a brilliant teacher when we pay attention to it. Hitler deconstructed the German judiciary and created the “Peoples Court”. That didn’t work out well for the world or Germany. Today we have Israel a parliamentary Democracy. The people of Israel have once again selected Benjamin Netanyahu to lead the nation. Netanyahu as moved […]
Why They Want To keep You Dumb!
There’s a reason for the wholesale assault on public education in the the USA. It’s the same reason the slaves weren’t taught to read and write. When you can keep a people ignorant of the truth it becomes easier to keep them docile. What we see happening is a turning back of the clocks. We […]
Gun Crazed!
The fascination with guns in the US is driven by our inability to live in peace with our fellow citizens. We fear each other because of an ugly history that we still refuse to talk about. There are two reasons to have a gun. One is to put food on the table. The second is […]
