Youth Violence and Black Classical Musical
At this past weekend's San Francisco Fillmore Jazz Festival, many persons mentioned to me how peaceful it was, none of the incidents of gang banging that occurred during the Juneteenth Festival, even with a heavy police presence. We noted the police are simply another gang under the color of law, so the youth have no respect for them thus they commit acts of chaos in their presence.
The Jazz Festival was, again, pea

"I said to His Excellency, "That's not going to work. Whites are always intransigent. They don't understand when they have exceeded the boundaries of intolerance. As much as I have criticized President Mugabe for his dictatorship and autocratic leadership, on the land reform issue, as I had written in 2006, 99.9% of Africans are behind

Now Jolivette back to your original My Mississippi Eyes Question:
QUESTION FOR THE DAY: What role do Black Mississippian play (or should play) in the telling of Civil War history? Should we counter the white folks narrative with our own narrative? Are we knowledgeable enough to do that are do we just get angry and ignore the issues? What are your thoughts?

More than 40 years ago, both political parties (Democratic and Republicans) made strategic decisions that are still being felt today.
In the 1960s, the Republican Party formally adopted the “Southern Strategy.” The Southern Strategy was a deliberate strategy by the Republican Party of the 1960s concocted to win elections in Southern states by exploiting anti-Black racism among southern white voters. These voters were previously loyal to the Democratic Party becaus

How to Recover from Racism on the Left
Shall we recall that famous speech by ancestor Martin Luther King, Jr. in his Letter from a Birmingham Jail, wherein he stated, "I'd rather be with the KKK than some phony white liberals." But I want to probe a little deeper into the psyche of those suffering from the Addiction to White Supremacy Type II. Those in the Black Left are often so disposed to have multi-cultural unity that they openly attack Black Nationalism,
ARE YOU READY? I am sure that all of you remember Hurricane Katrina and the effect it had on the Black Population of New Orleans and Mississippi. I am also sure that you've heard all kinds of stories about why so many of our people perished and some of them may be true. I won't get into those old stories but instead will allow those ghosts to rest. But there is one Ghost -- that will not rest, until All of you have taken preparedness to the next level.

Moment in Paradise
Now that we are in heaven
Will the scars of hell ever heal?
Let’s take a midnight swim
Don’t be afraid, my beloved
The tide will return soon
Let us talk until then
We have not talked in so long
We have not been our true selves
In so long
I don’t even know who you are
Isn’t that strange
To be with a person
To love a person
Yet you do not know their worth
That is why we came to this land
We left the wilderness
To see who we really are
My beloved, look, the tide is in
Come, let’s take that midnig
