As the truck and equipment trailer of The GroovaLottos tooled through Dedham after another successful show at the Dedham Square Coffeehouse, the strains of Nina Simone's "Sinner Man" could be heard on the truck stereo. Mwalim turned it up slightly and began to sing along and even started scatting as Simone's rapid-fire, Pentacos
“Questioners are ‘hoteps’ who are too woke to have fun.”
The desire to see a black face in a high place is a legacy of slavery and the century of Jim Crow segregation that followed. The psychological impact of America’s apartheid is enduring, and unlikely to end without true revolutionary change.

People fuss and complain and make long videos warning us about the so-called New World Order. I say, it ain't new!! Anytime a group of people can change the time on the clock and effect the entire world's bio-rhythm, now that's some power.

THE MANHOOD LINE: LIVE! By Mike Ramey.
