Merry Christmas

Dear Readers
You are very dear and appreciated by this blogger. Thanks so much for reading me. I know I was not posting for a while. I promise to right this ship and get back to my feisty self.

As you take time to spend with loved ones and friends ... enjoy enjoy ENJOY!!!! The time together is the gift and the blessings not what you bought. The joys are phone calls, hugs and kisses, telephone calls, Christmas letters and other simple remembrances. Even the family disagreements are a wonderful to have 'cause they make the best stories over a cocktail later (big smile) AFTER the season is over.

Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, Joyous Kwanzaa and a Wonderful and Prosperous New Year.

From My Heart,

Danger! Danger! Danger Will Robinson!!!

I am sure young men of color and Black men in particular, in New York City, are afraid of the "fraidy cat", shoot first police there. The reason I call the shooter police persons "fraidy cats" is because they always seem to have to put 41 or 51 bullets into black male flesh to quell their fears of these unarmed brothers. The groom recently killed by NYC police on his wedding day for no reason I can understand; was out doing the pre-wedding celebrations tradition and I guess the police force's fear was enough to end his life and the party and seriously wound a few of his friends.

The robot that warned the stranded television space family of danger would be really helpful to young unarmed black men to let them know a fearful group of NYC police are about to put quite a bit of lead (bullets) into their asses. Black men in New York City : you are warned "Danger Danger Danger Be Careful Out Here!"

Going Backwards

OOOOhhhhh Trent Lott. The senator has just become top Republican in the Senate replacing Senator Bill Frist who is returning to Tennessee to "the house he was born in". In America there is always a second act, well not always but most of us get a second chance. Being white, rich, and well connected usually provides fellows such as Trent Lott with several second chances in business, higher education, lobbying or political leadership.

A 100th birthday party removed Senator Trent Lott from the Republican party leadership. At the celebration honoring ,segregationist,Senator Strom Thurmond, Trent Lott said if Strom had won his Dixiecrat bid for President back in 1948 , "we wouldn't have had all these problems over these years,either."

Like Mel Gibson every excuse and explanation was made, Senator Lott was not drunk. He said of himself and other Mississpians "we voted for him". We're proud of it". It was finally excused as one son of the South, making another very old, son of the South feel good about the good/bad(Jim Crow) old days. If Senator Strom Thurmond had become president, the entire US might be still segregated.

Lott returns to the Republican leadership in the senate and the country goes backward not because of what is coming out of his lips but because of what is in his heart and mind. There is no law that can control the feelings inside each of us nor should there be such a law.
