The Democrat Party is not the party of, for, or by Black Folks

-

I do not care about immigrants, period. I do not care about white women, period. I do not care about Latinos who identify as either "white" or white adjacent, period. No other progressive Black ought to either. And until the Democrats understand this fact, we will continue trying to court these ungrateful constituencies. Ones that showed their collective asses on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, by overwhelming voting for chump the brain dead comic carnival barker aka klueless the klown. I am more concerned about the federal merit system (civil service) where Blacks over index in GS-03 through GS-18 items; Article III court judge appointments (and centrist Democrat senators like Fetterman cross party lines to confirm radical, right wing ideologues because the "country must move forward" or some other rationalization), the Attorney General, DOJ, Department of Education and the social safety net. Those cabinet level appointments will directly and adversely impact our communities. If tRumpty dumpty is able to make good on his promise to unleash the police on our communities, we will experience a rash of unjustified, state-sponsored lynchings. That is where our focus should be. Not on trans rights, immigrant rights, or other divisive cultural bullshit, which does not positively benefit our communities. All the self-proclaimed leaders in our country who continue dragging us down the rabbit hole trying to convince us that we need to join forces with  those weird, divisive constituencies in the Democrat Party need to be unceremonious ousted from any position of influence, and if thier allies balk, they must be asked how has that worked out for us so far? Arab Muslims in Dearborn, MI abandoned us. Latinos abandoned us. White women abandoned us. Jews abandoned us. Need I go on? We need to completely reimagine the Democrat Party. We should have never lost Jamal Bowman (D-NY) or Corey Bush (D-MO). But we did for precisely the reasons outlined. Enough is enough. The ancient alabaster remnants of the cold war still wielding influence in the Democratic Party need to lead, move, or get out the way. There are brutally smart, progressive, dynamic, young leaders waiting impatiently in the wings like Maxwell frost (D-Fl), Jasmine Felicia Crocket (D-TX), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Dan Goldman (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), chomping at the bit, waiting their turn to turn the party around. Aligning the Democratic Party's policy priorities with those of the base, who (surprise, surprise) are Black folks saying the quiet part out loud. The Right is coming. We do not need tepid, weak, and conciliatory white Liberals championing our causes any longer. They have failed by virtue of their proximity to cascausity to effect any lasting tangible change for our community. But their all-over-the-place, pronoun policies have disaffected enough of the base to enable the Republicans to peel off 20%, which is why we need to put on our war paint. Whitey isn't f'n 'round. Look at the exit polls for the '24 presential election. It was a blowout "the likes of which we have never seen before." White folks are scared to death at their waning unmerited privilege, which is ingrained in their whiteness. Black folks who naively believe this essay is hyperbolic, I will see you on the other side of the gate for real for real😏

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 ...
