Twitter Special 2162012

I write this quick blog update in honor of someone in MS with whom I have been debating the last few hours. I have family issues today so I may not be my normal polictically correct self. Please read the links at the end to understand why I have the veiws I do. This twit fest started over my simple response to a question about contraception. I am of the opinion that insurance companies that cover viagra should cover birth control as well. I do not use viagra but I pay for it as part of my base premiums. Also, these same religiuos institutions have had insurance coverage of contraceptives for years. Why such arugments now? In America we have people, who in my view, are finding reasons, no matter how off the wall, to be angry with President Obama. I would rather these people come out and say "we hate having a nigger in office" than to continue to protray being without knowledge. These people attempt to hide their racial hatred behind seemingly on the surface plausible arguements. However their arguements do not hold water when placed up against facts. This discussion with this person has now gone into why KXL should be allowed. Given the person is a CPA from Mississippi State Univesisty, I would expect this person to know energy is traded on the open market. KXL will not lower the price I pay at the pump. I would expect this person to research how many jobs would be created, the length of those jobs, and who would actually be hired to fill those jobs. I would expect this person to research the origin of the materials for the KXL pipeline. I would also expect this person to know the number of producing land based oil wells capped by oil corporations in America. I would also expect this person to know that oil in ANWAR would not benefit people in Mississippi unless they owned stock in the corporation access the oil. All that glitters is not gold. America is not in the dire straits some would have us believe. We do have a problem with corporations controlling our government. Without additoinal commentary here are the tweets with 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.
