A slap to the face and a punch to my stomach

I am pretty dang mad this morning. A wet hen had better beware of me. I am spitting blood that is not mine. Who's butt shall I unplug next? I am angry not so much with the oil companies who do what corporations do as I am with my fellow Americans who have not join the fight to stop corporations from plugging us in the rear without oil. Pardon my being graphic but that is how I felt after this headline on my phone not once but twice http://aje.me/eIjgoO

These guys got a safety bonus after destroying the waters of my ancestral and home states of MS & LA? WTL is going on? Let it be known my people were living well off the land before the oil companies came to town. Now I do not feel it is safe to allow my son to stand in waders to fish the waters. (Gators are a known risk taken for generations. ).

I am do flippin angry that there are still people in LA and MS fighting for the rights of corporations that make it impossible for us to be independent in supporting ourselves. There are still people who have oil spill related illnesses that have not been paid. When will I not be the only person not mad as heck? This bonus payout is a slap kick and power-slam to all my parents grandparents and parents before them worked to achieve. It is knocks down what I have taught and lived most of my life. I refuse to get rich by killing the environment that sustains life. I am so freaking mad. Yes I said it, freaking. We must stop this madness.

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.
