Gun Control


I have been asked in my private life about my thoughts on the White House position on guns.  I am not known for being the biggest anti-gun person on the planet.  I even told one person during a conversation I would no longer be a Democrat if the party seeks to eradicate the 2nd Amendment.  I believe in and participate in the right to defend my home.  When I mention gun control, I am usually referring to the practice of shooting with eyes open and no sneezing.  I was reared in a home filled with guns, shooting my first 410 at age 7.  Guns and the accurate shooting of guns are almost genetic in my family.  I write almost for I made a decision, prior to having children of my own, to stop the madness. 

It is pure madness to have at a minimum one gun in each room of your home.  It is insane to teach a child how to kill before you teach the child how to love.  There is a huge chasm between the reality of actions and the ideals of words when one prepares to take the life of another while claiming to live in faith on the “Word” of Jesus.  As a young adult I said no to such madness. 

Although I do not stockpile weapons and ammunition, I do believe in the right of self-defense.  I arm myself more for the wild boar attempting to claim rights to my land than I do my neighbor.  I am armed with a good rifle that requires less ammunition than the Bushmaster in bringing down wild boars.  In defense of your home, Joe Biden is correct in saying only a good shotgun is required.  Attempting to arm one’s self against the government is ridiculous if not outright madness.    

Rambo only works in the movies.  If there is fear of the government then, “We the People” need to discuss why we have such fear.  If you live in an area within the United State of America that is a “war zone” that requires military grade weaponry and local law enforcement are powerless against such forces, then it is time for state or federal action in your neighborhood.  However it is hard for local law enforcement to do their jobs when private citizens have a higher grade of weaponry.  I write hard for I know, with the current militarization of local police forces, it is not impossible.  In short there is no reason for private citizens to stockpile weapons or to live in fear in the United States of America.   Many times these weapons are used to kill the owner or family members or neighbors or friends.  We must require more responsibility of gun owners in the usage and storage of their weapons.  It is time for this “Christian” nation to live as did Christ, full faith.

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.
