The ‘Boogeyman’ has existed since before the birth of everyone reading this. Yes, he does exist. For as much as this being is blamed for, his existence cannot simply be mass hysteria. The Boogeyman is real. Why would so many apparently competent people cower at his approach and hide from his arrival? The Boogeyman’s name …
I’m angry with the extremely talented Robert Glasper. I expected better than this. Is it because the art form isn’t making enough money, so the strategy is to bring in this element? I hold him, among others, responsible. This is the work of a heretic. And for him to push during the show, in his between the musical pieces, audio lectures that all of this is ‘Black Culture’ is unacceptable.
I need this clarified. Last week, yet another person (who doesn’t really know me) has recommended that I watch the cable tv show, “Snowfall”. For the unfamiliar, the show is described by the FX network as “A young street entrepreneur, a Mexican wrestler, a CIA operative, a drug-running couple and other characters are …
Black America is in a love affair with socialism. This same community intensely desires the power and independence of earned capital. These are contradictory affectations. Like a rebellious teenager who still lives in their parent’s home, Blacks in America are looking for support from a system they wish to be independent from, and New York …
How does a woman working amongst hundreds of men remain a woman in her true essence? In a turn of thought, I began this writing headed in one direction and somehow headed a different way. I REALLY intended to criticize women in professions inherently male in their culture. But in doing so, I felt it …
As simple a statement as that is, processing that concept is a shortcoming in every corner of life. You can explain until you are blue in the face the pain you are feeling about something, and people who think they are empathetic will ignore or deny your suffering. But when it is their pain, their …
A young man in a Marine Corps uniform, a young lady in a white dress, a mariachi band in suits and sombreros, horns, family and friends dressed to celebrate an occasion, a milestone. They have aspired to and maintained the moments in culture that are special and prepare for them enthusiastically and treat those moments …
“You cannot turn someone against their country—they have to want to believe whatever propaganda you tell them.” — Yuri Bezemenov, former Soviet KGB agent. All of you demanding Britney Griner’s release were active in her imprisonment. What’s funny is, and also shows your ignorance of what we’re dealing with, is the idea that she is …
So I’m driving along listening to Sirius radio and my ear is drawn in to a lusty old style blues groove. Despite not being a fan of today’s music and themes, this one grabs me, especially from a production standpoint. This sounds like it should be on my playIist; the chord structure is dramatic, and …
What is a “National Divorce?” Maybe this is the moment I coin a term. A National Divorce is an amicable and consensual separation of the nation. Before I write another word, I think we’re better together (see my blog post ‘a case for man and woman’), but we’re on the verge of being history’s most …
My wife and daughter have been enthralled with the Olympics for the past week and a half, especially the pair’s figure skating. Me, being an analytical sort, I am always looking deeper into people and ideas and interests for motivations. I’m not a fan of the sport, but I do respect the skill and athleticism …
