Congressional Democrats and the ACA


At some point someone will awaken to the fact the ACA is not healthcare, it is a set of regulation for health insurance providers.  I have sat by since 2010 watching the crazy over allowing more people to purchase health insurance at an affordable rate. 

 The ACA is not President Obama’s idea.  It is the brainchild of the Republican party’s think tank, The Heritage Foundation.  It is geared to put more public dollars into the hands of private enterprise.  It is not the plan actually put forth by President Obama. 

Yet, we still have some Democrats running away from the ACA instead of calling it out very simple as I have done in less than 250 words.  We need Democrats with spines to be elected to office.  People unafraid to say, “ACA is not the best but it is better than no regulation of the healthcare insurance market.”  It is simple.  Each Democrat in Congress should be in his or her state making such things known.  It is not for the President to push ACA.   Congress, grow an loving spine and talk to the people. 

Congressional Democrats, tell to the people the good of the ACA and what you would do to make it better.  Grow a loving spine.  At this stage you should understand the people really don’t want GOP governance.  The only people seeking GOP legislation are those who desire to continue the economic oppression of others and those who fear they are becoming a minority.

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.
