Rioters and protestors and vandals… OH MY!

The language is already being changed… so here we go (again). Everyone who wants nice clean lines to play and color in have ceased distinguishing between “rioters” and “protesters.” It’s so much easier with nice neat categories to say “rioters.” You know… looters… thugs… etc. Stop.

There are things to still talk about. ThingsContinue reading “DO “Black Lives Matter?” A reprise”

FAIR WARNING DISCLAIMER: I am not done in the process of lament concerning the lynching of Ahmaud Arbery. I am FAR from done as to action that needs to be taken when it comes to our utter blindness over racism in our country. You’ve been warned. I saw a quick exchange between two African AmericanContinue reading “Why we must persist concerning injustice — Ahmaud Arbery”

Injustice in the time of coronavirus

A couple of days in lament isn’t going to cool me off when it comes to injustice. SOOOO… here is your warning. I will keep going on matters of racism and injustice for a bit. It is out of lament. It is out of a deep hunger to get our souls bared before the RighteousContinue reading “Injustice in the time of coronavirus”
