AOC and Commodore Perry make the Japanese open up and say ahh-ugh, na, na, na, na!
Recently in the news I saw where AOC took a trip to Japan. During her visit she had occasion to lecture the Japanese on her perception of their dismal record regarding LGBTQIA rights. She told them things needed to change. They need to open to Western ideas and values onRead More
The Grammys 2023: Decadence is not Free
I did not watch the Grammys. I YouTube’d some conservative, Christian and religious critiques of it. I saw the usual Black liberal sectors praising its inclusivity and celebration of all lives and lifestyles. Needless to say I am shocked by the messaging, quite deliberate messaging and it is not becauseRead More
Insane, ignorant, criminally neurotic Black men in High Places Part 2: Who Stands to gain and why?
Hopefully you saw the Kanye West Post. It is helpful but not necessary to the matters I am about to take up. Nick Cannon is another one that fits and befits the profile of pushing criminally insane examples of Black male behavior and then purporting it to be normative thatRead More
Why does anyone care what Kanye West does?
Why does anyone care what an insane lunatic is doing in his love life…except said lunatic has tons of money and that transforms his foibles, idiosyncrasies and downright criminal impulses into exoticism and eccentricism. For the rest of us it just lands you in jail, dead, broke and in anRead More
Making Black Lives matter to Black people as much as we care about making it matter to Whites
The call for Black lives to matter is on the whole a good thing. My problem is that like charity, affirmative action and religious impulses to proselytize, they are better served starting out at home! Loving as Jesus was (and is reputed to be), even he said he came toRead More
It’s Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday again 2022 (Do u have your ticket to the MLK Jr. Day parade and afterparty) & the world premier of ‘Space niggas’ & ‘Gretta Thunberg in space’
It’s MLK Jr.’s birthday 2022. I’m so excited, ‘Marty King’ said not to celebrate his daddy’s birthday without making the White mainstream American government pass the Voting Rights Act legislation. Dexter King was somewhere celebrating with his White wife and mulatto children on a Malibu beach living his father’s realRead More
Inert Reflections on Atlanta and the Deep South
*As regards metro Atlanta politics, bureaucracy and Buckhead; while incompetence is better than corruption neither will keep the kingdom in your hands long. Slap the both of them together and you are doomed. *The current crop of Black and White politicians in Georgia and perhaps America are confused by theRead More
A UGA Football Victory and the Triumph of the Old Antebellum South
As I reflect on the UGA National Championship win and the institution of football and football culture in the psyche of the deep south; it default and de facto is the last remnant of the antebellum southern Black/White structural dynamic of political economy. White leadership and control and Black laborRead More
One from the Vault 2017: Mob Therapy and the destruction of the African American sense of family
Many Americans watch reality shows but if you are in the Bluff long enough you are living a reality show except there aren’t any cameras (that you know of except police and security cameras) and you are not making any money. Just last week there were three incidents in theRead More
One From the Vault 2017: that is just as true today
Lance-Bottoms off to a terrible start in the 2017 Mayoral Race (one from the Vaults that is apropos today and indeed one of reasons I write such good books) Months ago, I called Felicia Moore out on the disingenuity of having a “plan” to solve crime on Bankhead/Hollowell and relatedRead More
