Detroit Way Out

Forget the idealized notion of moving Detroit way forward. What about closing it down and leveling the entire city. Cities deserve to die. Destruction is a natural law of the universe.

Our nation destroyed Iraq to rebuild it again. Why not level dead decaying cities here on this soil. We are spending billions in Iraq and not Detroit. Historical memory has little currency in the digital world.

The existence of Detroit right here and right now is lethal for young and old. It is wrong to allow this decay and depravity to continue ....

Detroit Politics

I have major reservations about the nature and quality of the outcome of elections in this region and in Detroit. Voter turnout was disappointing even in suburban elections. In the city we now have an all Black city council. This lack of diversity cannot be viewed as progressive.

A financially challenged gay candidate who has never confronted homophobia in many Black religious venues was elected this disappoints on so many levels. The passage of an educational funding proposal which continues to dump money into a failed school district is not a progressive development it echoes a theme of desperation and a misguided belief that educational outcomes are about money and not fundamentally driven educational agendas.

Fact is over 85% of the electorate in the city did not elect or approved of these new public officials. Educational progress is never the result of spending money. When the last vote was cast has our region really improved?

Collective Expressionist Artists

I do not use my paint brush to promote the myth of Black pathological depravity when a event or incident occurs in a Black venue..I distance myself when the usual suspects promote the myth that Black Communities are havens for criminal behavior and incubators of violence..

I paint the canvass with themes of elevation, bliss, accord and values.... Come paint with me....

Educational Stormtroopers

I am stunned by the backward reaction of school officials who surrendered to the cries of ignorance of many parents by not broadcasting our president's educational speech. It is shameful that educated people allowed themselves to be bullied by the intellectual cowardice of some parents who now view our president as an enemy of the state. Soon there will be charges of treason and sedition targeted at the white house one wonders if our educated elites will lend themselves to those noises and unworthy chants of the ignorant. Time will tell...

Exploring the habiats of one's personal orbit can be as stimulating as sci-fi novel of time travel space exploration.
