The Revolution is....

The revolution is televised. As a child I often heard the revolution would not be televised. Today it is being televised. However television is not the medium that is helping to fuel the revolution. The Internet is the media source that has fueled the revolution against the years of fear and hate from the ruling powers.

I am not only speaking of Egypt. I am speaking of all governments and powers that be that have used and continue to use hate and fear to control the people. Some in the U.S. recognize that the revolution is not limited to the Near East. We know that the years of fear and hate used by our own government has sowed the seeds for a peaceful revolution in the United States.

Our revolution will see poor whites and minorities coming together to end the tyranny of the corporate ruling class. We will demand a free quality education in all neighborhoods. We will demand an end to inferior healthcare when we have turned 1/20th of our paychecks over to private insurers in the form of premiums. We will demand that everyone have access to healthcare even if he/she is not employed. We will demand investment in our nations transportation and communication infrastructures. We will demand an end to subsidizing corporations that maintain a majority of their operations outside the United States. We will demand subsidizing renewable energy sources. We will demand that our waterways and bodies of water be kept free if pollution. No more will we accept biological disasters such as the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. We will demand that no legislation be put into place that oppresses a group of people. We will demand an end to the rule of hate and fear that had permeated our nation's government ruling bodies since 9/11.

It is done. Tea will not fuel this revolution. Love, peace, joy, hope, faith, equality and respect will provide the fuel for this revolution. This revolution is building. It is building within the hearts of those who know we can not continue as we are. This revolution was sown in the freedom songs of the 60's song to the young as lullabies. Those songs that spoke if peace and love for all of man kind. Yes, watch as revolution spreads around the world. Prepare for when it comes to your home. No guns or bullets required. All you will need is love for everyone.

Black Lightning is more than ready for prime time

Black Lightning It is finally here.   I do mean finally for I have been waiting for seems to be ages (1977).   I am calling for a second season having only watched the first two episodes.   I am not sure of the level of involvement Tony Isabella & Trevor Von Eeden in the production of each episode.     The first two I enjoyed, did I say that already?   The first two episodes seems to have been packed with every issue seen in mainstream media and think pieces regarding the Black community.   This posting is not a think piece. It is my piss piece.   Before I touch on the piss, thanks, many thanks, to Salim and Mara Akil for making it happen. Black Lighting   opens with a Black parent, once again, having to bail a child out of jail for exercising his/her right of protest in the USA. We need to question why peaceful protests with no guns see protestors arrested. Please do not take I am saying people of color should have guns at protest marches.   We would be shot before the

White Boys Whine

Quick  and dirty   Star Trek  Discovery  is everything  I  thought  it would  be.  It is my hope the White  boys  chill the fuck out .  There will be a White male captain .   The Black  woman  will be of a lowered  status.  White  boys  are you appeased ? My personal  view fuck White  boys who had their dicks in a vise  over women  of color  at the helm of a fictional  space vessel.  I shall watch  Star Trek  Discovery .  I shall pay the fee to CBS Access  with joy. If you wanted to watch OITNB you paid  Netflix . Overall  I look  forward  to the day a fictional  show  that features  women  of color  in prominent  positions  doesn't  freak out White males.  They were  so freaked  out  they compared  The Orville  to Star Trek  Discovery .  Guys chill out ,  future  happens . 

Y'all should eat my grits no cheese

It is two days after the GOP primary in Mississippi. We are still laughing at Mitt's attempt to cuddle up to us with cheesy grits and a few y'alls thrown in. In my area of Mississippi it is yaw'all(10 second word). Had he come here expecting us to be able to count to 20 without removing our shoes, he may have been taken a little bit more seriously. I am not sure if Mitt's grits ranks with Bush's "this part of the world" statement after Katrina but it ranks. Truthfully, I enjoy cheese in my grits along with garlic and red pepper. However, I do not think my love of grits, a bowl every morning, makes me Southern. Although I was born in Southern California and partially reared in Southern Wisconsin, I consider myself a full blown Mississippian. Along with keeping my grits to myself, I also speak without care of accent. The fact that I can tell you how to get from Memphis to the Coast without using the interstate or Google says I am from Mississippi.
