April 24, 2020 AM While trolling through a menagerie of morning headlines, one headline that stood out says, “Black leaders say reopening Georgia is an attack on people of color”. Something about this black leader designation assigned either by media or a self appointed alpha personality seems off-shore. Too often the ‘leader’ designation is strategically embraced and manipulated as a …
April 24, 2020 AM Coronavirus has lanced open the scabbed womb of America’s past in numerous sectors.

April 20, 2020 AM Recently the Trump campaign “disavowed” a group, run by longtime conservative activist Vernon Robinson, that seeks to broaden the president’s reach with black voters. God forbid anyone especially Negroes, Blacks, Colored, African-Americans, or whichever is the latest trending, please don’t taint the Trump brand.

I find it fascinating people in upper management want African-American women to culturally appropriate their hair to European texture (straightened). Some are calling this the “One World” look or appeal. On television and in movies, Black women’s beauty is often measured by the looseness of our curl patterns. It has become cultural and economic praxis to invest in the upkeep …
Black voter importance has been elevated to a new level of confession. The Trump campaign is increasing its presence in swing states targeting African-American voters.
