Respecting the Prez

NASCAR drivers not showing up after White House invite. This headline shows a few issues in our nation. I admit I had little respect for the Bush administration but I was and still am opposed to the wars. However in all of my disgust with the Bush administration, I did not exhibt the disprespect shown to President Obama.

The last time I saw a preident so disrepected without cause was Bill Clinton. Is there something against poor people or people of color occupying the White House? Is the White House only for rich white males?

President Obama has done nothing to deserve the level of disprect of he has received. People must move past a black man occupying the White House. If his own party would back him and if the GOP would stop inciting racial ignornace against him, this country could actually move forward.

These slights against President Obama do nothing for any of us. Boehner's insistence that a GOP debate is more important than actually listening to President Obama's job plan was a signal as to the root cause of the mess in which we continue to swim. When we can overcome raciism long enough to fix this country we will be much better off.

I am now off to cut some tree limbs before Lee blows them into my home.

Just hanging with friends

Sometimes when I have enough of my dry county life, I head to Jackson to take in the sights and sounds of the big city. I am posting some pics I took on one such visit to Jackson. I am still learning how to be better at video. I hope to have it right before son graduates from high school. If not I shall have it ready in time for my first grandchild's Ph.D. ceremony.

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 pro...

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  Discover...
