My feelings on Charlie Kirk

 This is all I am saying about this. NO ONE deserves to be murdered. You may not like the person, you may not like their political, religious, social beliefs, race, or ethnicity. But that is not justification to kill someone, especially innocent children who have not had the chance to show the world what they have to offer. I understand Kirk's wife and children were there, and I extend my sympathies to them, and his family members. I am reminded of another family who had their husband and father killed before their eyes. A man who also had many who were not in agreement with, but he was horribly killed in front of his family. His wife was pregnant with twins at the time, and two or three of his children were there at the time. That man was Malik El Shabazz, Malcolm X. Political assassinations are nothing new, and are a stain on the history of this country that cannot be washed away. This must stop, and stop NOW!!

Dems LIGHT UP the GOP in POWERFUL Floor Speeches

Well, He's BAAACK!!

 Unfortunately, in my opinion, Donald T***p was elected as U.S. President again. I don't get it, but, it seems obvious. This, to me, was a racist and misogynistic victory for him. You got a Black President twice. You won't get a Black, Asian, WOMAN as President. Nah, nah. 

 What I can't understand is, why Latino, or Hispanic, women of any race, and ignorant Black people would vote for this man, KNOWING, you ain't his people. Give him time. He, and his crew are going to prove to you, you are not HIS people. 

No, I am not happy about this election. It seems hinky that the election was so one sided. But I think the Kool-Aid was tasting pretty good this time around. You who voted for him will find yourselves the brunt of his destruction. WATCH!!

Oh, and you poor Whites. Don't think he cares about you either. He doesn't care about you anymore than he cares about anyone else. Set your watches. It's just a matter of time that reality is going to slap you as hard as the rest of us.

The Story of Fortune, a Slave

 Fortune, his wife Dinah and their 3 children were slaves of Preserved Porter, a Connecticut bone doctor. In 1798, Fortune slipped from a rock on the west bank of the Naugatuck river, broke his neck and drowned. At the time, dissecting cadavers was illegal; but not applying to slaves, Dr. Porter cut him into pieces at the riverbank. At his office, he boiled the bones so that all flesh fell off, etched labels into them and used them as a medical training tool. Dr. Porter died 6 years later, listing the bones as worth $15 ($330 today).

Prior to his death, Dr. Porter used the bones to teach anatomy to his son; who used them to teach anatomy to his grandson; who used them to teach his daughter…135 years of generational doctors and wealth. In 1933, his name long forgotten, the family donated the bones to the Mattatuck Museum where they were displayed next to slave tools as “Larry the Slave”; a popular exhibit shown on their postcard; not taken down until 1970 when the Museum realized this was demeaning. They stored them in the basement.

In 1999, made aware of these bones in the basement, the NAACP and museum staff enlisted anthropologists and archeologists to examine them, ultimately determining this was Fortune. Based on bone density, he was a strong man who lived and worked with a broken back, hand and died of a broken neck.

On Sept. 13th, 2013, after being a slave, medical specimen, museum exhibit and archeological artifact spanning 275 years, Fortune was finally freed…laid to rest next to White society of his time…something that wouldn’t have been allowed when he died.

This is not an isolated story. Medical usage of Black and Indigenous people in ways prohibited of Whites was not uncommon. Since I still can't find my GG Grandfather (Ned Mills), Erica and I decided to make a donation to the Assoc for the Study of African American Life & History, as well as to make a regular pilgrimage here to leave flowers for Fortune.

Black History is American History and Black Lives Matter. If not to you, I got this. My actions will show they always have and still do…no statute of limitations. Now rest, Fortune.

Nicolas Cruz get life without parole...NO!

 I'm not for or against the death penalty. But in the case of Nickolas Cruz, the man needed to go. He knew what he was doing, he planned it, he executed 17 people. I don't know what the jury saw that he, Cruz, SAID he did it, to say he should be spared. Good luck dude. You'll need it.
