OWS Not Dead

Please do not believe the hype. OWS is not dead. It is alive and growing. Each day those in power refuse to listen to the people, it grows. This movement is not about liberals, Whites, Ron Paul it is about all Americans waking up to the mess our bought and paid for politicians have allowed to occur in our nation. This movement did not start yesterday or because of the Arab Spring. Those who think this movement is about Obama, The Bush Years, or even what happened in the Near East have been in a deep sleep. A sleep induced by the elixir that trickled into our psyche from the Reaganomics IV. In 1992 Arrested Development song about OWS "Got to get political, political I gotta get," Speech rapped. "Grown but can't hold my own, so this government needs to be overthrown/ Brothers with the AKs and the 9 mms need to learn how to correctly shoot 'em/Save those rounds for a revolution /Poor whites and blacks bum-rushing the system /But I tell you: Ain't no room for gangstas/'Cos gangstas do dirty work and get pimped by mobsters/Some fat Italian eating pasta 'n lobster." ( www.jimdero.com/News2004/Jan25GreatAD.htm) No OWS is not dead. The movement is alive and well. The gestation of this movement has been so very long and we are only seeing the contractions. The birth and the pains of that birth have yet to come. Know that birth and pain of birth only leads to a brand new hope of life that requires nourishment and care 24/7 to yield the desires of the heart. There are those who mouth the right to life of all people but in reality they would abort 99% of the rights of life. OWS is about all people coming together without egos to achieve life and the rights of life for 100% of the people. There are no leaders or political parties responsible for OWS. It is a movement of the people that has been in the making for years. The Jackson (Mississippi) City Council recently attempted to deny OccupyMS the right to occupy public property by stating OWS was dead. I was hurt to see this predominately Black city council attempt to kill OWS. Blacks are the only group in America to have its very right of being human denied by law. It was as if these Blacks have learned nothing from history, much like the member of the GOP who continue to insist on tax cuts. It is sad to see oppressed people revel in being oppressors. Where is the Christ? Where is the Love? Blacks and poor Whites need to come together rather than continue to fight each other. However, much as Western(now China) powers continue to divide the people on the African continent while exploiting the rich natural resources of Africa, the 1% in America continues to divide the American people to maintain control of the wealth in America. I am rambling at this point and must end this posting. Please know OWS is not dead. Check the sources of those who say it is. Corporate media is attempting to kill the movement but we must not let it. Until the corporate owned media wakes up, we must be our own media. We must get out the message. OWS is not confused. Those who find it confusing are the creators of the confusion designed to end a movement. Wake up America. Please read the links:

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.
