Post Obama Era in America

In America the end of history is soon to arrive President Obama's tenure is almost here and this reality will impact all of America  especially White America. I will share my thoughts from my optics as a Black American.

Black Lives Matter

BLM is not just for those who hold our lives in contempt but for US because many Black folks do not value the sacred and wonder of our essence and existence....

Simple affirmation of Black Life begins with Black folks...

We matter....

Optics of Defeat

I did not care for any of the  Charleston coverage it was offensive observing Black Americans in that posture....I resented the absence of Black anger being articulated by Black activists in South Carolina.....I tired of Black folks in a prayer/surrender mode ..I tired of the impotency and optics of Black people looking passive and beaten down.....


I rejected the nonsense of prayer as being some miracle when prayer did nothing to save the lives of those when they were confronted by a depraved White killer fueled by the ongoing reality of racism in America....


Finally I tired of the obligatory White media patronizing coverage form the endless use of the same quotes and images of Black Americans and dead Black civil rights leaders

Under Peril Again

So this is America circa 2015. Our nation has a long and ugly legacy of violating sacred places and venues of Black Americans from churches to kitchens of Black Americans. At some point during this era of acute and lethal Negrophobia there must be a national and political acknowledgement of this reality in our nation.


We must confront yet another period in our country where Black Americans are under siege , in peril and in mortal fear for our lives. We must craft a series of national laws, national policies and plans that can be implemented timely to protect Black Americans.


The FBI has issue warnings to Jewish and other religious facilities when threats have made against their places of worship as such I expect Black Americans should be given the same threat level alerts given that our visibility is more apparent and makes us more in peril than any other group or collective in America since slavery.


We must have the chance and opportunity to protect and save the lives of our families in this era of acute and lethal Negrophobia in America circa 2015.

Uncivil Wars in America

Is there ever a moment in time in our nation where a collective of people are not under siege? Of late the scent of discord and confrontation has returned to air waves of our nation.  The nation’s air  and atmosphere of humanity  is toxic and unhealthy for all of our senses including our spiritual aura.





Today the slings and arrows of misfortune are being waged against those seeking to expand the boundaries of gender and sexually. An uncivil war is being waged on numerous fronts some of them with foot prints braved by the weary before and others are incarnations of depravity we hoped was ending .  The uncivil war of today is aimed at gays and the transgender and of course Black Americans are in the center of this uncivil war yet again  with the national epidemic of police executions of unarmed Black Americans under the color of the law and without due process.





Our nation continues to struggle and evolve  as it pertains to humanity and civility. America has returned  to the failed  formula of hate and intolerance all at the expense of harmony and cultural congruency.





We must find a way to end these  uncivil wars against ourselves. Our children are watching .Our seniors are weary. Hope must return to the battlefield……
