      Today the country was made aware of the DEATH of the heinous Carolyn Bryant Donham .  Once the news broke, there were a number of people celebrating her death deeming it as justice for the family of TEEN, Emmett Till .         Have we forgotten that she was able to live a FULL LIFE while being cloaked from [any] accountability?      Additionally, the liar (currently) in the morgue told her side of the story to a professor for a book that was slated for release post [her] death.  In other words.... profit will be made off of the MURDER of a Black teen... once again.  Her co-conspirators in murder have already profited from interviews, photographs, and more.  😏 Have we FORGOTTEN that the honorable Mrs. Mamie Elizabeth Till-Mobley DIED without seeing an ounce of justice for her son that was BRUTALLY sent to the bosom of the ancestors.        A long overdue arrest warrant was IGNORED ...

      Just a few days ago, Tucker Carlson was FIRED from Fox News .  Today, we discovered that he was NOT the belle of the ball they (once) marketed him to be.  YEARS of him being afforded the platform, protection from litigation, and protected via the use of excuses have made Tucker believe that he reigned supreme over all at the company [and more].      WE TOLD YOU SO!!!!!!!      Ever since the boomers convinced society that "no child left behind" was the greatest concept since trickle-down economics 😏 those of us that inherited their poor choices screamed that monsters would result.  Carlson is a PRIME example of what participation awards, [multi-level] privilege, and cloaks of excuses can morph one that is DESPERATE for attention into.         Rupert Murdock took a manchild with [severe] mommy issues and gave him an avenue for his attention addiction.      Now, after millions (near...

      Once the original mugshot of Andrew Lester surfaced, a flurry of excuses, doubts, and altered narratives have derived in order to excuse his behavior.  The octogenarian has made his motives clear via his own words and actions.  Did you all miss that Lester shot 16-year-old Ralph Yarl THROUGH a glass door, opened the door, shot him again then exclaimed, "Don't come around here again"?       Did you also miss that NO ONE initially rendered help to a CHILD that had just been shot?      When Yarl FINALLY found someone to provide assistance they treated him as if he were a criminal.  Telling him to raise his arms and lay on the pavement.  It is when he reached the pavement that he lost consciousness. 😡😢 Now a mugshot and the release of the age of a man who attempted to MURDER a CHILD has garnered him sympathy and excuses?       There are even those stating that due to his age (if found guilty) he should ...

      Although there are numerous members of society that will try to gaslight you into believing that racism is deceased and we are all one and equal.  😏 If that were true... the justice system would deliver [actual] JUSTICE.  Non-white people would NOT continue to be characterized as savage or thugs or dangerous.         In a nutshell, we would NOT continue to be HUNTED down and our MURDERS would NOT continue to roam vacant of [actual] consequences.      Last week a WHITE man opened fire on a Black teen who rang his doorbell.  Said (80+-year-old) ADULT also shot the CHILD as he tried to crawl away.  Fortunately,  Ralph Yarl has been released from the hospital, but he still faces quite an uphill battle in regard to recovery.  There has been NO statement (as of the time of typing this blog) made via the (yet-to-be-named) octogenarian or his family.  Not even an inking of performative remorse upon...

      Far too many people now and throughout history have been too consumed with APPEARING to be a good person as opposed to BEING a good person.  They will gossip, steal, kill, destroy, and more yet get enraged when their ill deeds are made public.  They are well aware that they are horrid, they merely want to hold on to their societal stock of pretending to be saintly and angelic.  😏     These are the religious folk that attends services to display their fashions, vocal abilities, and popularity...nothing more.      Whether in the sanctuary or at home, they are ALWAYS a point of reference for gossip and "other people's business".  These are the people that never seem to have a plausible past, yet they are the holiest of the holy... per their self-proclaimed PR campaigns. They have a staunch loyalty to religious buildings, but not fellow congregants or the doctrine.  💅. They will condemn most of the globe into damnation...

      In 24-48 hours information has been released regarding the identity of the Louisville bank shooter.  Those of us that have been forced not to the outer rungs of society were readily prepared for the image and narrative that would be put forth.         Did you think that the Gov. and the Mayor losing friends in this tragedy would cause racism to pause in the US of A?      They will call for thoughts and prayers FOR ALL involved and/or affected by the tragedy.  They will place the best and most jovial photos that they can gather of the MURDERER.  His troubles with depression will be the center of the conversation...because why focus on the overt premeditation of it all...let's blame mental health.  His family and friends will proclaim that he was such a sweet soul and a popular athlete.         Did you forget that in this country, cis-gendered straight white men are absolved and prote...

     Less than ONE month after a tragic MASS shooting in Nashville, TN the week began with one in Louisville, KY.  A young man decided that being "put on notice" that he may lose his job was enough fodder to injure and murder co-workers.  Additionally, due to the lack of action combined with the narrative surrounding the likes of Kyle Rittenhouse , Ashi Babbit , and (most recently) Daniel Perry  the drive to immortalize such events caused the shooter to LIVE STREAM DEATH & DESTRUCTION.       STOP saying their names and making excuses for them just so you can continue to bootlick for the NRA and the GOP.        Cease with the trope-filled talking points regarding Chicago and Detroit and face the reality that STRAIGHT, WHITE MEN are depleting our Populus simply because of their fear of equity, losing their ability to be mediocre and successful and/or the reality that they are being told NO.  Mental health ...

      As Trump continues to lie to his voter base and DeSantis cosplays a dictator...the Tennessee House GOP decided to pretend to care about accountability.  The House has been the hotbed of scandal, FBI investigations, childish antics, and more...BUT, they drew the line at representatives standing with the people they vowed to serve.  😏 Pedophilia was NOT a cause of concern, yet wanting to PROTECT CHILDREN in schools is the hill they choose to die on.       Correction...TWO "uppity Negros" leading the charge for change is their dying hill.  💅      Before you lose your voice trying to yelp that I am reaching... why wasn't the WHITE representative expelled? Why were WHITE representatives readily willing to take down towards the two BLACK men who were expelled? Why go through the process of expulsion when they WILL be voted right back in? Once they return, they can NOT be removed for the same offense once that occurs.  W...

      Just like the neighborhood or church gossip, the US enjoys sitting back and passing judgment on other nations until accountability comes knocking at the front door.  This is what is occurring with far too many people within the nation at the moment due to the indictment and arraignment of Donald J Trump .  Pearls are being clutched due to the fact that he is a FORMER president.  The current sentiment in his defense is that he should [essentially] be above the law due to his current campaign and PREVIOUS position. 😏 How quickly we have forgotten the pardon of Nixon and the indictment of his VP Agnew. 💅       Are we supposed to IGNORE the CURRENT corruption trial of the Israeli leader, Benjamin Netanyahu ?      SEVERAL leaders from around the globe have been ARRESTED, INDICTED, CONVICTED, and even JAILED.  The adolescent nation that is the United States is ONCE AGAIN behind the curve.  Due to our history of givi...

      The LSU Lady Tigers made HISTORY and you decided to downplay that historic moment to protect the default damsel in distress... white women.  The great white hype of women's basketball did not win and rather than simply congratulating her and her team members on a season well played and a great game, you decided to overshadow the Most Outstanding Player of the Game and her melanated team.       Once you remove the political jargon and break it down to the bare bones...do you see where you are perpetuating privilege?      This was the time for the current FLOTUS to support excellence while also giving a [slight] cloak of protection for a Black woman that has been the target of hate for a season.  A few words of excitement regarding the historic moment would have gone a LONG way.  Yet, you chose to use the guise of "sportsmanship" to cover your disappointment in the loss of the team you desired.     ...

      Last night LSU clinched their FIRST Women's NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP against Iowa.  As wondrous as that accomplishment is, it is overshadowed by misogyny and racism.  Angel Reese has been a FORCE all season, culminating in breaking many school records and unanimously earning first-team All-American, first-team All-SEC, and SEC All-Defensive Team honors.         Unfortunately, her vigor, passion, and competitiveness have made her the target of numerous negative critiques.        Why? She is Black and a woman.  This is a prime example of blackness within the US and its realm of entertainment and sports.  Melanin is perceived to give a "competitive edge", while gender prevents the ability to display the same passion as any other athlete.  Couple that with the hypocrisy of Black people NOT being allowed [by society] to exist under the same rules and freedoms as our white counterparts.   ...
