Out There for Here(c)

So I explore the outer fringes of conversation and dialogue. I examine the inconvenient narratives and possibilities. I weather the wrath of the gentile and the elite.


The rules of civil engagement often do not frame my exploration. My course of navigation is beyond the footprints of beaten down trails.


I venture not to exploit and create unease and tension. My intrusions into silence and orthodox are forward moves designed to never obstruct but to open.


Awkward moments fuel my explorations they are markers of and directions sought to uncover not dismiss and avoid.


Discovery is the soul of my exploration (c)

Election Politics

 Once again the American public is assaulted by the campaigns of politicians from obscure fringe political parties to the usual suspects Dems /GOP. The media platforms are hauling in loads of campaign dollars from not only the political parties but endless ‘drive by ‘ special interests committees and the like.

 Of course most voters won’t be influenced nor impacted to change their respective views or candidates they will vote for, this is part of pomp and circumstance of election time in America 

Politicians will debate now without audiences but with scripts , pundits and media talking heads won’t STFU and mother’s with babies that want attention will pitch their babies to get it.

Election’s politics in America where people are thrown to the political landscapers to get cut and soak in political manure that will  only leave a stench in your nose and clothes for too long 

Vote often….

MIA University Leaders

 Our educational institutions exist for a variety of reasons including the development of knowledge of all those who attend them . Recently many prominent University are no longer issuing statements about critical issues in America that impact not only students by society 

 The list of functions of our educational institutions provides to our nation encompasses cultural and social context and individual growth . Our educational institutions also serve as foundation to inform, influence and promote the welfare of society on and off their respective campuses 


 Educational institutions that abandon their social duty to inform and advise our students/society on issues that enhance as well as imperil our society have failed both the students and our nation 


 America is better served when the leaders of our universities and colleges insert their learned opinions and valued experiences

Play Ball not Politics

 Caitlin Clark should be on our Olympic Team!

She is an outstanding Basketball Player one of the very best in America. There is not one logical, factual or rational reason for this awesome athlete to not be on our Olympic Team

NAACP Cowardly Retreat

Yet again the present  day cowardice of the current leadership of NAACP reminds Black Americans that it must always temper their criticism of Israel and the bigotry of American Jews towards Black Americans.

This initial press release by the NAACP seeking a ceasefire in Gaza and the end of American weapons shipments to Israel was not only appropriate but long overdue!

To know observe the NAACP in retreat and altering their press release which does not demand the end of American weapon shipments but essentially encourages more weapon shipments is outrageous and offends every principle that Black Americans our historical icons have stood for in America

DEI vs State Rights

 Only in America is there celebrations over the end of programs that seek to promote, improve and affirm diversity, equity and inclusion in our country 


Once again the racist governance policy of ‘State Rights’ is now the law in Florida a state with a inhumane legacy towards minorities especially Black Americans that hung from the trees in Florida under the ‘color of law’ in Florida


The government of Florida is in violation of not only numerous federal civil rights regulations but also the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution 


The implementation of ‘State Rights’ that denies the constitutional protections of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness includes the the governance objectives of DEI ‘s programs, protocols and policies is a violation of our US Constitution 


I expect the US Constitution will reject the State of Florida’s unlawful termination of its DEI program, protocols and governance objectives

America’s Finest Prosecutor

Alvin Bragg was brilliant He was pressured hard to bring the case two seconds after he took office. He said it wasn't ready. He was ridiculed when he finally did bring it for not explaining the precise underlying crime that took the fraudulent business stuff from misdemeanor to felony status to the press. He did that only in court.

He, his family, his staff, have all been ridiculed and suffered death threats for many months.Yet he brought and won an insanely well prepared methodical case.

And now, post verdict, he remains calm. He doesn't gloat. He thanks the jury, his staff, the court officers. And he says going forward regarding sentencing, he will do what he has done.....Speak only in court, respond to the defense and judge in court, not at a podium in front of the press.

Calm, skilled, exceptional, Bragg was an exceptional Black American here

MLK would be proud of Alvin  as I am
