6 PM CST 9/8/11 Be There a Call to action

We the people need to watch the President's speech. We need to call every media outlet to express our views the next morning. We need to call our members of Congress to ask why they were not there or how do they plan to stand with the President to get this country on track? President Obama has taught to me, a bellicose type human, the art of compromise. He has made every attempt to be peaceful in the face of blind hatred, disrespect, and obstruction. We need to support him tomorrow for Congress is not. Congress is wrapped snug in the pocket of the Koch brothers and friends.

Our government is by the people, for the people and of the people. We must stop being inactive critics and become active problem solvers. It is up to us for our Congress is not doing it. The have abdicated their jobs to 12 people. Really?!!

It is a shame the GOP felt a presidential debate was more important than hearing what the President has to say. It is pure hypocrisy for the GOP has been demanding for months that the President presents a plan. Why must the President present a plan when we have sent them to Washington to represent our plan for us? What has the GOP done in regards to creating jobs? Tax cuts? We have had tax cuts since 2001 but have lost more jobs since then.

We need to let Congress know that we vote not corporations. We need to let Congress know we are tired and the skillet has become too hot to handle. We need to be active. The time is now. So please pass this to your buddies; this call to action. We must make our voices heard via the MSM. We can start with Twitter and end with Fox News. Let's do this.

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.
