Abortion: The Real Reason

-

 Abortion is an issue that affects all women. But it is primarily designed to force young, child-bearing aged, yt women preferring the C-Suite to a hospital suite in some dusty, under-equipped, understaffed backwater clinic to produce more "Masters of the Universe." That's the real reason yt conservatives are pushing so hard for a nationwide ban on the controversial medical procedure. Black and brown women's concerns are only collateral to this fool's errand by the MAGA wing of the lunatic fringe. The analogy is yt feminism, which Blk women full-throatily but naively endorsed around the time the Black Liberation Movement was gaining a following in the early 1970s only to find out they were not welcomed at the all-white tea party. The fall out from their famously failed attempt to crash that party is still reverberating in our community as a wedge issue divided along gender lines that even the intrepid, "big-mouth" Reverend Al Sharpton only briefly touched on in one of his syndicated radio shows - it is such a lightening rod issue. Social media personalities like the late Kevin Samuels made a veritable cottage industry of the topic. The short takeaway is that Black folks need to be wary of what issues we embrace ...

Ghouliani: A Tale of Comeuppance

-
Rudy Ghouliani was a monster during his brutal tenure as Mayor of NYC, which was augured in by a riot that he incited with off-duty white cops shouting invectives with reckless abandon: hurling racial pejoratives like "nigger" and "washboy" at the incumbent Black NYC mayor, David Dinkins. The first Black man to hold the esteemed office. The riot grew rapidly with alarmed, risk-adverse, and highly-political, NYPD brass dispatching "white shirts" (NYPD line command staff to put it down by threatening the off-duty cops with arrest if they did not disperse). It was an insurrection before the J6 insurrection that one of his biggest fans during that infamous period reprised during his loss to Joe Biden in 2020. He promptly micromanaged all of his top aids most notably Education Commissioner Rudy Crews, who he initially praised to high heaven, right out of office instituting a "broken windows" approach to law enforcement to curb crime in the largest cit...

NeoSoul: mesmerizing, genre bending, soul drenched, grooved filled music

-
What defines NeoSoul? The question has not been clearly answered. But Neosoul is what the name implies: Neo meaning "new" plus soul music. If we start from that simple proposition instead of what some fans and aficionados and even industry insiders post, we have to define soul music, before we can even get to NeoSoul.  According to Wikipedia, "Soul music is a popular music genre that originated in the African-American community throughout the United States in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It has its roots in African-American gospel music and rhythm and blues." Now that we have that out of the way, we can begin to talk about the evolution of NeoSoul, or "new" soul music that started being produced and recorded in the mid-to-late sixties. Who were the top five major Black musical talents or influences in the mid-sixties: Ray Charles, Gladys Knight, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, and  Marvin Gaye. All of these artists had careers that spanned decades and, mor...

Bucks County Cesspool: A Parting Shit

-
 The $2,100 ransom that the defendant has been coerced to pay under threat (aggravated by a bumbling, stumbling, and mumbling bedraggled, slovenly, indolent, disheveled lying court-appointed lawyer wearing shoes so worn out and, as such, rolled over, he must have had to lay down to put 'em on, unable or unwilling to provide effective assistance of counsel) of incarceration has been paid in full.  Do not contact or threaten this alleged defendant anymore, period. This jurisdiction has no further official business cognizable by common, state or federal law with the defendant. He is not seeking any further post-conviction relief. Leave him alone.  The defendant is resigned to take the "L" - the loss like a boss. He has paid the terms (dearly) for being held hostage in full  - imperiled by unprofessional threats to his life and his liberty, both. He will not tolerate any further officious, presumptuous, or unethical subordinate court clerical personnel or anyone else in ...
