The length and width of white segregationist has survived by white supremacy. It overtly lasted from the 1800s to the 1960s. These were laws enacted by the American Government to keep black people in their place. The narrative and stentorian cries of screaming "Black Laws Matter" is nothing new. It is an ugly truth of resistance that black folks have been faced with for centuries. America has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that yesterday and even today, black lives does not matter. If it did, those who falsely think they are the majority would have finalized this situation. Black people are not inferior. Black people have been a major addition to the United States of America. Black people are due for reparations. Jim Crow Laws is one obvious reason why. Black people live in this world and in the United States, but they are not fully treated how all-American citizens should be treated. Therefore, black lives don't matter to the people who are able to change laws and policies but hasn't done it. The same democrats and republicans who were okay with Jim Crow back then, have done nothing!

​Black people were punished with fines or jail time if they didn't obey the Jim Crow Laws. Did you hear that? These were laws! It makes you question the laws of the land sometimes, as we all should. Just because it is a law doesn't make it right. This was an effective target on the race of black people, only. Does it seem familiar to you? Below are some examples of Jim Crow. All folks are welcomed to know about it. Especially black families and children. 

Amateur Baseball 
In Georgia, it was against the law for both blacks and whites to play amateur baseball near each other. They had to remain separated, like within two blocks of each other.

Barbers
If you were a Negro Barber in Georgia, it was illegal for you to serve white women and girls. White men did not like black men around their women /girls. Isn't it rather peculiar how they created the false stigma about white women being around black men when it has been white men who have raped and had their way historically with black girls and black women. Black people didn't have the law on their side. There was no protection for black women and black girls.

Bathroom Facilities, Male
In the state of Alabama, if you were an employer of white folks (males) or negro people (males) you had to keep the bathrooms separate. 

The Blind
The board of trustees in the state of Louisiana made up a law for colored blind folks. Black people had to be in a separate building for their admission, care, and instruction to get help as a blind race of people. The facilities utilized by black individuals were in the worse conditions on purpose .

Burial
In Georgia, black people couldn't be buried next to white people or use a burial that was set aside for white folks. They had to find somewhere else to go when their loved ones died. Race played a major benefactor and it still does to this day. This is why history is important. It is conducive for black people to study their history.

Buses
The colored passengers had to have different waiting rooms and ticket windows independent from white folks at all bus stations in the state of Alabama. Alabama was a significant state for the bus boycotts that successfully took place in Montgomery from 1955-1956. Black folks got tired of paying the exact same bus fair but was treated less than equal, sitting on the back of the bus. They also had to give up their seats if a white person needed it. This was the law. America you need to be born again. I don't know about making you great again. America you have those same heart problems from back in the day. Your heart isn't right. You owe black folks reparations.

Child Custody
In South Carolina it was against the law for a negro to have custody or guardianship of any white children. If a white person or parent wanted to give up their child they could not allow that child to be in the care of a black person. This was highly hypocritical. White people were allowed to have black women, men, and children work in their homes, raise their babies and give them business ideas that made them rich.

Circus Tickets 
Louisiana had a Jim Crow Law that enforced circus shows that had two races attending on the same day, be at least 25 feet apart from each other just to purchase tickets. They had to have two disconnected entrances. One for whites and one for the blacks, indoors and outdoors.

Cohabitation
Florida placed negro men who dated or wasn't married to white women in jail or fined them $500. This Jim Crow Law was applied to black women who were dating and living together with white men.

Education
The schools in Florida for white children negro children was made to be split up and detached from each other. 

Mississippi schools kept white and black races separate. 

Missouri made it illegal for black children to attend white schools, or any white child to attend a black school.

New Mexico said black kids and white kids had to have separate rooms for teaching.

The County Board of Education in Texas made schools separate by having  one for white children and one for black children.

Fishing, Boating, and Bathing
The Conservation Commission of Oklahoma exercised their right to make segregation of the white and blacks in fishing, boating and bathing.

Hospital Entrances
Mississippi hospitals kept white and black patients in separate entrances for patients and visitors.This law like most Jim Crow was targeted by the race only.

Housing
Louisiana did not allow whites and blacks to rent any buildings from each other to live in. Especially if it was occupied by white folks. They wanted blacks living around blacks and whites living around whites. Kinda like it is today but we have made some strides. This is where white flight came from, Jim Crow. White people are conditioned to thinking negative things about black folks when they move into their neighborhood. If you were caught renting housing and not keeping the black and whites separate, it that was considered to be a misdemeanor. You were also subjected to a fine of twenty-five ($25.00) to one hundred ($100.00) dollars or jailed.

Intermarriage
If a person was black and white in the state of Arizona they could not marry. White people couldn't mix their bloodline with any other race. It was not acceptable. It was an illegitimate marriage.

Florida said blacks and whites could not marry. Also, the descents to the fourth generation of black and whites was forever prohibited.

In Georgia a white person could only marry white people. You were in violation of the law if you did otherwise.

Blacks and whites were prohibited from marrying in Maryland.

In Mississippi marrying one-eighth or more of negro blood, was unlawful and void.

No person having one-eighth part or more of negro blood was allowed to marry a white person. It was prohibited for blacks and whites to be in love in Missouri. 

Blacks and whites were prohibited from marrying in Wyoming.

Juvenile Delinquents
Florida had separate buildings for their juveniles. White boys and black boys were prevented from working together and associating.

Libraries
Reading books or periodicals were separated for blacks and whites in North Carolina .

White people in Texas could use the county free library. Black people had to have  separate provisions in order to utilize the library. 

Lunch Counter
In South Carolina blacks and whites could not eat in the same rooms. It had to be separate.

Mental Hospitals
Negroes and whites were not allowed to be together as patients in the Georgia mental hospitals .

Militia
North Carolina white and black troops were separated from each other and the black troops were under the command of white officers.

Mining
The baths and lockers for the blacks was separate from the whites in Oklahoma. They were allowed to be in the same building.

Nurses
In Alabama nurses were not allowed around black men.

Parks
Georgia kept blacks with blacks at parks and white with whites.

Pool and Billiard Rooms
In Alabama it was against the law for blacks and whites to engage in a game of pool or billiards.

Prisons
In Mississippi the warden enforced the separation of eating and sleeping from the blacks and white prisoners.

Promotion of Equality
In Mississippi the promotion of equality or social of intermarriage between whites and negroes, was a misdemeanor. You could be jailed or fined if you violated this law.

Railroads
In Alabama the conductor divided passengers by race to place them where they thought they belonged .

Maryland was required to provide separate cars or coaches for the travel and transportation of the white and black passengers.

The conductors or managers in the state of Virginia was authorized to assign all   white and passengers his or her on separate space and in charge of stating the race or the person. If you looked white but was black, you received the better treatment.

Reform Schools
In Kentucky the reform of schools was kept completely separate from black and white children.

Restaurants
In Alabama it was against the law for whites and black people to be served in the same restaurants at the same time, unless there was a separate entrance.

In Georgia you had to serve blacks and whites separately, not at the same time.

Teaching
In Oklahoma it was considered a misdemeanor if any professor or educator taught in schools, colleges or institutions where white and blacks were enrolled. Look how far we have come. Think about the miles we have to go finish.

Telephone Booths
In Oklahoma yes, you probably guessed that white folks and black folks could not use the same telephone booths. This had nothing to do with Corona or any virus. Well those who promoted this kind of behavior may have had some form of heart disease. 

Textbooks
In North Carolina textbooks were given to whites first and then handed down to blacks. White folks got the best and blacks got what was left. That is still an issue in some communities today.  

Theaters
In Virginia white and blacks had separate designated seats. Whites, of course got the best and blacks got whatever was left.

Transportation
North Carolina had separate waiting rooms at all stations for the white and black races.

Wine and Beer
In the state of Georgia, you had to sell your alcohol to either black folks or white folks separately. You could not sell in the same room at the same time. 

These Jim Crow Laws were exponentially permitted in the southern states. Their racism permeated from state to state.  We are still dealing with the cancer of it.  It's unbelievable what black American folks endured. But still endure.

​​​This controversial piece is kind of like my Twitter Tweets of The Week. I cruise around Twitter and talk about many random things trending but this time it will be with post from Instagram. Sometimes there is audio so please don't forget to click on the links in purple to listen in. I dedicate this controversy to the black liberation for black people and black agendas of freedom in all nations! Enjoy!

This time around I tried my best not to use a lot of Instagram post from D.L. Hughley. I concede I am drawn to his Instagram.This first post is from Jr Kinard. There are so many benefits from the human touch. Have you hugged someone today? Ok, don't wait for your significant other to put his/her cuddling moves on you. Go on ahead and do what any loving depression killer person would do! Attack them in your hugs. Tell all that anxiety to step aside! Lay down and rest with them. Give them some cuddling. You can also hug and cuddle with your children. One thing I am accustomed to is hugging. My Lula always commanded her hugs when any of her grandchildren came into her presence. If you have been extremely busy this week, please take some down time to hug and cuddle with your loved ones. I am a hugger because my family started that practice with me as a child.

In unison we can all answer that question and say,"Hell naaaw!" There is no way white people would allow that! No way! Their European system would never permit black police officers an allowance to kill unarmed white citizens or white people, period. Administrative duty would be foreign for black folks. Black police officers know about this truth. We have already been a key witness to a little taste of it when a black person is accused of killing a white person. We need knew players in this game. The old players have to go. Those judges, yes them! The ones who are up for retention in this upcoming election in many states but lust after breaking up black families. They are part of that systemic racist system and they need to go! When you intentionally give black men and boys harsher jail time but give their white peers probation, something isn't right. All of this is being recorded in history. I know you are aware of it but some of you just don't care. You are just like your father's father. They didn't care either. If this applies to you, please fill out the full application. If it does not apply to you, I am not talking to you. All those wypipo who are holding on to unhealthy threads to keep white supremacy alive, certainly do not concern themselves with the humanity of others, unless it is affecting them. What do you think your great grandchildren are going to think about your legacy when their bloodlines are mixed with black blood? You relax, you sit back, and you watch all the mistreatment of black people by the hands of some police officers. You don't do anything about it. The politicians are so silent. You hardly ever hear them speaking out about these issues impacting the people who they represent. You know, those families who voted for them! The court system is thirsty to sentence black people with the prosecutor instigating from the side. Change, come fill up the air with your presence. Should those judges and prosecutors remain?

When we change our thinking it always happens. It doesn't have to be perfect just start. See it! Draw it, write it.The universe will respond. Think Big!

Taraji is letting the world know how vital the image of a little brown skin girl is.
We have to celebrate a 5 year old girl becoming an international model.
​

Black lives sure do matter! Black women lives matters as well! Take care of  people who take care of you! Get all up in their faces and ask those politicians, "What can you do for me?" Tell them you are young black and gifted and you're trying to figure out which politicians should get your vote. What have they done lately for the peace, love, and justice of black people? Your black is beautiful and it should be protected and respectful. Incidentally, their colors and boots are saying something, like gone gurrrl!

Look up in the sky because it's everywhere, spreading black girl magic like they just don't care. They are fierce in freedom. Such a beautiful scene, especially for the little brown girls.

The man in this video says we all need to surrender now and just vote for Trump.

Do the lawyers and judges see anything wrong with this?The ones that are super quick to lock up our babies and men? "The law system is like bleach; worked perfectly for whites but it destroys colors." This officer didn't fear for his life. Whether it is Europe, Canada, or America the point is black people could not get away with this? Wow. I wonder why?🤔🙄

Yes, I was snooping around on Taraji page. You have to watch this remarkable piece of art all the way through. These brothers are rocking this moment so hard.

I get the feeling sometimes that make me wonder why they want to control, steal and monopolize off of a black woman's thunder. That is what happened at John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. Henrietta made life better for the hoi polloi of individuals diagnosed with polio, HPV vaccines, and in vitro fertilizations. Dr. Gey and all the rest of the scientist used her cells without her consent, only to their benefit. The year was back in 1951 when segregation had its perfect little nasty way with racial inequities in America.  

Tell your mama, your daddy, your children, and all generations about this black woman's story. Henrietta Lacks is a black woman that mattered. It took years for us to know about Henrietta Lack because they lied and thrived in hiding the facts and truth. When it comes to the history and contributions of black folks, there are a lot of hidden colors + hidden figures to discover. Henrietta's life and her cells mattered financially well to all those researchers who became wealthy from the creation Yahweh gave her. We can only imagine all the other black folks that were surreptitiously diced and sliced against their free will or by manipulation. So you think black people are not due for reparations? If you've ever wondered, why black folks are so apprehensive about going to the hospitals or going to see their doctors? Henrietta Lack is a hint of why. There has always been medical warfare going on in the black community since The 'Father of Modern Gynecology' oops I meant to say the "monster of gynecology." He improved some of his methods by using enslaved black women. Back then (and NOW) black women were/are disposable pieces of nothing (to them). Black women lived and continue to live in an American society where their pain is taken for granted, and their treatment in the medical field is extremely shady. This is why we (black women) have to be our own advocates. We tend to get referrals of good physicians. If a physician happens to be fantastic and black, the sweetness is bliss. The gal with the cells who cured the world, her legacy will be in the belly of longevity. 

The piece of information I am going to share with you is just what you need. It will keep you laughing for the rest of 2020. If you would be so kind to yourself not to let anything nor anyone stress you out, please watch this very funny YouTube video multiple times.  

Her original video switched to PRIVATE. So, I went on her page and put another one of her videos up. This particular one is not comedic at all. Listen up! 

There is no need for an introduction. Congressman John Lewis has smothered racism and hatred courageously; starting lots of trouble so that those after him would have an escape to equal rights, voting rights and faith for better days. Lewis grace was against unfair systems that was based solely on your race, like a probation mistake. Unfortunately, the melanin in our skin doesn't Appeal to everybody but so what. We continue to Dream big in an Exchange for our own financial gains, with reparation cherries on top. We won't stop fighting for you America, to treat our hair and our humanity like American citizens because that's what we are. Truth and no more lies plus Columbus alibis. Pay attention to these important mentions.

MR. TROUBLE MAN (GOOD MAN)

John Lewis is the kind of antidote of hope this country needed. Folks are making lots of noise about Congressman John Lewis being the first black man to have the honor to lie in State at the U.S Capitol. Considering the thick and rich layers of white supremacy clued to the cartilage of the bones in America that affected John Lewis life, I'd say he earned it. He earned it when he tried to get a library card in Selma and he was denied. He earned it as an American citizen, who desired to vote and register others in his community to vote but he was denied. What Lewis endured is well documented. He went to jail for us. He was beaten on a Bloody Sunday for us. He was brutalized for us, and somehow John Lewis continued fighting against hatred and bigotry, selflessly for the plight of black people. He marched fearlessly with Dr. King in Selma, Alabama so black folks could have the right to vote.

I do understand that some of you don't believe in voting because you argue it doesn't matter. Well, it mattered to a young man by the name of John Lewis who was pregnant with freedom. He wanted you to have it. He died trying to give you ownership of your rights to own the politics in your community. Your voice does make a difference. There is nothing wrong with having a strong black populace with the right representation. There is something not right, when there is no representation of folks who look like you, representing your city or state when it is predominately you who reside there. Dr. King had a plethora of men and women who helped black folks get good representation in their local politics and nationally. They had high morals. Congressman John Lewis was a symbol of liberation. Your life mattered to him and his legacy is evident of that. We are thankful to have had this kind of trouble on our side!

 LET'S TALK ABOUT THE REAL DEAL

The Appeal tightens your political senses in criminal law, the prison system, and keeps you armed in the best defense of new laws plus everything in between. If you are a law student, work in the legal field or into politics, The Appeal will give you a mixture of all things strategically placed to inform you. Knowledge is all the power you need. If you have loved ones in the California prison at San Quentin you would want to know why there is an explosive outbreak of covid-19 in that place. Even if you didn't, those individuals are human beings and they have family and friends who care about them. The Appeal always gives you the goods on mass incarceration. This is also part of our reparations. Did you hear about the Michigan judge who had a black teenager jailed for not doing her homework? This kind of breach in our constitutional rights continues to happen to a majority of melanated people. The judge states the young lady was on probation.This is madness. I don't see either party addressing these issues. The criminal justice system is always harsher with black children and that's a fact. Subscribe to The Appeal newsletter. You will stay alert and be informed.

RESTORATION OF A VOTING NATION

LeBron James has a lot of nerve. I am pleased to mention why. Mr. James has partnered with other like-minded individuals in the entertainment and athletic industry to help convicted felons get their voting rights restored. This brother formed a group of folks who are willing and financially able to pay off fines and debt owed by ex-felons so they can vote again. Florida passed a law that allows men and women to vote again but they have to pay all applicable fines. This is good news. There is always hope. Kudos to LeBron and his group of angels. May all the other states follow Florida's lead.

STATUE BLUES CHRIS N' DAH NEWS

Why are people trying to demolish the statue of Christopher Columbus? He is an European explorer who discovered America, right? Well, our history books left out the fact, he didn't discover America. He did have a crew. He did explore but when he arrived to America the Indians, or indigenous people were already there. People are beyond tired of Europeans lying about history. Just tell the truth. If I was Italian American I would feel some kind of way about not knowing the whole truth and nothing but the truth concerning a man we all were taught lies about. In Chicago protesters were determined to remove the Christopher Columbus statue in Grant Park and Arrigo Park. Some were peaceful and there were some violent protesters. In order to keep the peace, the culture, and the heritage of the Italian community in tact, Mayor Lori Lightfoot removed the statues in the middle of the night, discreetly. 

In the history books they failed to mention that Christopher Columbus enslaved the natives that were there before he arrived. Columbus and his crew gave them diseases and mistreated them. There was nothing good about Columbus. There are several states who celebrate indigenous people on Christopher Columbus Day. They renamed it Indigenous People Day.

DREAM BIG IN A CHANGE OF EXCHANGE

If you see it, you can do it. Yahweh gave you those visions for a reason. If you believe it, the universe will bring it to past for you. If you want it, work hard and you shall have it. After all your achievements and successes you can mentor someone else and bless them. We have the ancestral right to apply for financial stability and generational wealth. This statement is foreign to not all, but a majority of black people. Those in the black community haven't been exposed to the stock exchange. Its common in the European community. When you invest in stocks it gives you the pleasure to retire comfortably, pay your kids college tuition, and maintain abundance in your life. The time is right to challenge your thinking. There is a group of folks who made history this year during the pain and lifestyle changes of a pandemic. As noted in The Root, Mr. Joe Cecala is a former attorney who partnered with Cadiz Capital Holdings L.L.C., to launch the first ever, so clever, black owned United States Stock Exchange. They named it the Dream Exchange. That is a beautiful thing for our young minds to see. It is a great example to emulate ownership of your business. Let's do our research and invest in some generational wealth. When you are informed and armed with financial knowledge, your bloodline is more polished.

INGREDIENTS OF THE ONE

HE WILL SUPPLY THE FIRE IN YOUR EYES AS TOGETHER YOU RIDE TALL AND HIGH IN THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST.

HE WILL STRATEGICALLY PLANT SEEDS TO HELP CREEP OUT THE WEAK IN YOU AS YOU TOUCH AND AGREE, ROCKING IN A HIGHER BELIEF. HE WILL HELP MAKE YOU STRONGER! HE WILL BE THE TYPE OF MAN THAT BREAKS THE DIFFERENCE AND MAKES IT INTERESTING...IN BUSINESS, IN LOVE, AND IN LIFE.

HE'S EAGER WITH GREED TO LEAD YOU AS HIS WIFE. HE WILL MAKE YOU SMILE INSIDE AND OUT ON PURPOSE. HE WILL BE POETICALLY WHIPPED TO WRITE HIS OWN SCRIPT WITH YOU ALL UP IN IT! HE WILL STUDY HOW TO ANSWER YOU IN ORDER TO STAY AWAY FROM HARSH WORDS AND VERBAL ABUSE.

HIS BRILLIANCE WILL BE WRAPPED IN GOD'S WISDOM. AS YOU STAND BY HIS SIDE WATCHING HIM SHINE, YOU LOVE HIS MIND AND PRAY FOR IT ALL THE TIME.

HE WILL UNCONDITIONALLY LOVE AND APPRECIATE YOU LIKE IT'S BRAND NEW. HIS INSPIRATION WILL CREATE EVEN MORE GREATER FOUNDATIONS FOR A POSITIVE INVASION OF LEADERSHIP IN YOUR BLOODLINES TOGETHER. MAY YOU BE ATTACKED IN ABUNDANCE AND NO MORE LACK IN KNOWING HOW VALUABLE AND WORTHY YOU ARE TO HAVE THE ONE! SO SHALL YOU HAVE HIM! 

The psephology of the Democratic and Republican Elections are way overdue for an election makeover. Whether you think we live in a democracy or republic, it is imperative that the Electoral College play no part in our American elections. Why should a few states be the deciding factor of a presidential election? Why hasn't the Republicans or the Democrats terminated the Electoral College? I can boldly express I know the framers (white men) of the Electoral College was not thinking about brown and black folks when they gave birth to it. The American vote should be decided by American citizens and not by an antediluvian body of electors. 

The picture above is a notice I received in the mail from the Democratic Party. If you reside in Illinois or any American state, I'm sure you've received something similar from both parties if you've voted in their favor in past elections. The thing I dislike about both parties is how they monopolize on the choices of others. Yes we live in a two-party system but I believe all parties have a right to be included. The times are changing. The American people are not pleased with both of the parties who have remained dominant. We need more competition. The system we have in place wants voters to select all the candidates from the same box during primary voting. You either vote straight democratic or republican. Oh, and don't think you can go in and say you want to vote for the Libertarian or Green Party. It's not going to happen. What if I like some candidates who are from the Republican Party and some who are represented by the Democratic Party? Why should I have to select a democrat who has done absolutely nothing for me and my community? I have a right to do my research on the candidates to see which one closely fits my needs as a registered voter. You should do the same. Please stop allowing a political party or anyone to tell you who you should vote for. You own your voice. It's your power. Don't be shy about making sure politicians work for your vote. Also, there should be term limits for all the men and women who make up congress. 

​I am in no way saying not to vote or who to vote for. That is your choice. What I do know is, I live in a democratic state. The message the Democratic Party articulates is, they are for quality healthcare and for quality education that is accessible to all. They say they are for the working class and not the privileged. I haven't seen that evidence in their statement applied to the black community. I want the democrats to know if they don't get their acts together, they are going to lose a lot of seats. This is the buzz on the streets. Folks are not a fan of holding on to broken promises. Action has to be the main objective. What are you doing? What have you done? Are the democrats not listening to the people who have always given them the win they needed? No, they are not! Black people have been voting blue their entire lives because their families were always blue. Show me the benefits of their loyalty! The Republican Party was always a symbol for the white rich folks in the homes of lots of black folks. We didn't dare look their way. Although criminal injustice has remained high in black communities, the disparities in education and in healthcare are also constant in most democratic states. In Illinois as well. Why? What have the democrats been doing that warrants my vote? In Illinois they allow predatory third-party companies to take advantage of black and brown families who have loved ones incarcerated. The price some family members pay for phone calls or to put money on a plastic card for their loved ones who are locked up is ridiculous. Legislation like that comes from the politicians in your state. Have the democrats looked over some of their policies lately? Are they not paying attention to what is going on in black and brown communities? For the record, politicians enjoy speaking to the middle class. They often forget those folks who are not middle class but voted for them. Both parties tend to ignore the men and women who work two jobs with kids. What about them? I understand they want President Trump to be fired. Okay, if that happens where is your agenda for black people? If Trump stays in office what is your plan? Why hasn't democracy been restored for the individuals who still have to fight for the exact battles Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, and Dr. King were fighting for? Most politicians seem to get relaxed in their wealthy positions until another person wants their seat. I am telling all the men and women who make up congress to please stop taking those you represent for granted. When you continue to do that you will lose. People are tired! You are mailing me a notice from you to vote democratic. Wake up! Take heed!

​​I don't know who this man's parents are but I am thankful they got together and created him. Men like him are the main reason I stopped smoking and eating all of that pork. I digress. Just kidding, that was a joke. Every consonant and vowel he is declaring came straight from the pages of truth. Yes, it is very conducive for us to focus on the legislative branch. We've flipped the script once before and we will do it again. I'm lusting to see a brand new party because frankly, this young man is precisely correct. They don't care about us. The democrats and the republicans haven't done anything different for black people to be full-fledged American citizens in freedom. They see us being hunted and slaughtered like prey. Where is the legislation to stop it? They are not trying to rectify any of the social issues that abuse our lives. What about gun violence destruction or any thing to do with a black agenda? How do you profess liberty and justice for all black folks when decades later we are up against the same divisions equally distributed toward the mental breakdown of our resilience to exist. Yesterday was National Voter's Registration Day. There is still time for you to register today and become politically active. "They don't want to see us vote so we never do and we see the same thangs."

Please elaborate on that statement. When was America Great for black people? As an American society we don't even want to acknowledge all the inhumane chapters of history poured wickedly in the bloodlines of black people or African Americans. We feel uncomfortable and don't want to talk about race or racism. Sometimes you just have to put it in their face. Was America great in 1619? Or maybe it was great during Jim Crow? Please be specific and let us know! Is it great right now like it was back then? Is it great for black women, black children or our black men? Is the residue and sprinkles of white supremacy in every state making America great? When was America great for black folks? Tick, tick, tick... um, I'll wait.

America, America, may Yahweh shed his grace on thee. This story is not an unbelievable story. Female immigrants who thought they were going to the doctor for a specific medical procedure ended up with their uterus being taken out without their permissions. If you think there will be no consequences behind an illegal disregard for the lives of these women, you are wrong. Who were they transferring those organs to? Now, everyone involved in this familiar form of wickedness will try to pull out their best deck of cards to cover themselves away from deceit. The controversy of this piece makes me think of all the experiments they did on black enslaved women to learn about what worked and didn't work on a black woman's anatomy. Black slaves were used as guinea pigs with no rights, protection or reproductive organs when they were done experimenting on them. Praise the Lord for that whistle blower in this particular case. 

On my end, black men always win. I choose to hold on to the positive things they are doing, achieving, and mastering as they share their elevations and their unity with their communities. I am fully cognizant of the issues that purposely persist in our backyards. I also know how there are black men who are doing and trying to live their best lives. To the dominant society it is not good enough for them. They know we are dope. The preponderance of evidence is everywhere. When Eddie Murphy received his very first Emmy Award, I surmise they finally said he was good enough in their eyes to receive it. We celebrate him and all the years of his black boy joy he gave us. Regardless of how you personally feel about Murphy, you can't deny he put in the work for the award. Congratulations to Eddie Murphy!

​This is why we have to get organized and proactive in this political process. If there is any inch of validity to validate what the former employees have stated about this department, they certainly should not be allowed to perform the duties of a sheriff. It's a breach in the constitutional rights of the citizens that reside in that city. It also places a target on the backs of black people. You already know black folks are more likely to be pulled over and profiled by police officers. It is half pass the hour to vote these people out of office and control the policies in your community. If you live there it is your power to exercise. Your voice matters!

Lori gets to serve her jail time at a prison of her choice. We are so shocked by this information, right (not). I wonder why no one else I've known or read about got that kind of favor. Can black kids go before black judges who know how to deal fairly with them and not always try them as adults? Can black people do crimes and get a slap on the wrist then go home or do community service? What about probation only? I guess favor, privilege, and skin color has a little bit to do with Lori's situation. Check out the grin of the lawyer in the background of this picture above with Lori. They both have that look of "sounds about white" smirk on their faces. Favor just ain't fair. 

Why can't black people get this same treatment across the board. That's all we want to know? During three entire minutes, this white man was not tased or shot. This man in the bright yellow shirt resisted arrest to the best of his ability. As you can see, nothing but restraint + self-control was allowed to have its way with him.​ If any King-Papas (blk men) I know and love are in a similar situation; I'm talking identical twins, why can't there be the same level of self-control and restraint shown to them? This should be written into legislation. There are plenty-many  examples why we need new laws concerning this issue. We love our husbands, our partners, our uncles, our babies, and all of our melanated friends. Yes we pray hard for our black men, friends, family, and young boys. We have too! But we should not have to be subjected to the antithesis of treatment this white male was given. We demand the same. 

Ruth Bader Ginsburg's legacy is in the belly of longevity. She set the tone for women and girls to know they can think freely and independently, they can have a seat at the table full of men (white), with or without a skirt on, and they can serve on the highest court fearlessly. Thank you for over 25 years of service.

I am right 'black' at it again in October but at all times in the background. This time I am showcasing the FieldCrest School of Performing Arts. I blame Donna Davenport (owner) for all the stunning services she has provided to our hoods and communities since 1977. My aim is to love and support "us" more. Please join me in this quest. In order to increase the economics in our communities and change the trajectory of our bloodlines, I am proudly promoting "Black Owned Black" owned and owned, until the break of dawn, stories and businesses. Let me be very clear, if this is something you are not into or feeling, this isn't for you. I am speaking only to those individuals who truly want to see black folks free economically. This is how pull ourselves up and collectively kill layers of racism and white supremacy. May you manifest the BEST, THINK economically, and stay UNIFIED to buy black; ensuring that our dollars stay in our community. There is a shift in the atmosphere. Time to get on board.

​Gone-Gurl Magic is all over the place. Look at our babies! They are full of good emotions. They master anxiety and timidity. Your kids will ascend as quick learners. They will become richer in their social skills when you sign your kids up with classes of dance, acting, modeling, and etiquette with the FieldCrest School of Performing Arts. 

Some of you already see how that two year old child of yours is going to be a busy child. Or maybe you have kids who were born to perform? The best thing you could do to cultivate those skills and talents is sign them up for FieldCrest School of Performing Arts. They're located south of Chicago in Park Forest, IL.

Donna Davenport is part of the divine hope and glory our ancestors prayed for. Look at what she is doing for our babies! Donna used her purpose-driven vision to change the attitudes and the image of black children. She has the ingredients to infuse her students with the power of black excellence, wrought in inclusion so they understand they belong at the top, wherever they chose to let it flow. Donna is a  certified Sancti-Fly Mama, coupled with a Black Girl that Rocks to unite, uplift, and nurture the gifts of high self-esteem in all of our scholar ladies, babies, and young men. Donna Davenport legacy is in the belly of longevity. If you are in Illinois or if you plan on visiting, stop by FieldCrest. Encourage your friends and family to patronize her business. Your children will enjoy a whole new world full of love, light, and limitless possibilities.

This Public Service Announcement will be over in a few more hours so lets go make this happen. I'm thirsty for historically black colleges and universities for our scholar babies. There are three ways you can give.
