Off The Wall

Whew!!!

I am still working on my piece about Black people. The piece is special to me for when I rant on Blacks, I know I need to have facts. Given my current mental state( I recently mistook my son's size 0< jeans as my own. I am a size " girl you should know better") the piece is slow to come together. I am posting this piece of opinion together as a place holder for the real rant I have inside of me. Yesterday, I came across a "news" item posted on several different sources about Jesse Jackson Jr.'s claim of iPad's destruction to our economy. My initial reaction was WTL???!!!?? After actually reading one of the many links to the story, I said, WTF???!!!?!!! I posted the link on FB and caused a little confusion with a FB buddy.

Here is my point, WTL???!!!?? First his statement makes about as much sense as bemoaning the moving of television manufacturing to Mexico. Why pick on the iPad killing printing when many of us already do not read. Some things in evolution need not to be fought. Secondly and most importantly, was this news?

I think the story was not news. I remember during the Bush years how each time Rove and Cheney did something we had 100% coverage of Brittany Spears. Now that Paul Ryan has flub up on Medicare and votes are being lost and found in WI we are getting stories on Jesse Jackson Jr. being off the wall and a wedding in England. Hello, wake up people. The royals in England do not control jack. Jesse Jackson's attack on the iPad means little when he spent his own money to buy one. You have yet to hear me attack Wal-mart where I shop. It is to the chagrin of my buddies that I shop at Wal-mart without remorse but so be it. I am keeping it real.

We must stay focused on the real issues. We need to investigate the voter fraud in WI. We must stop the Tea Baggers who wish to push this country back to the 19th century when it comes to labor laws and public social programs. We must make the MSM take note of what is actually important to us. May God bless William and Kate and save the Queen in the process. May Jesse Jackson Jr. give up his iPad to support economic development in the United States. May we the people get off our butts and into the streets to demand economic and social justice.

To my FB buddy who took me to task late last night/early this morning, you know you rock. Keep doing what you do to keep people aware.

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.
