Real Talk

Lately, major media outlets (CNN, MSNBC, FOX) and not so prominent outlets make me want to vomit. People are unemployed. If you're making between $8.00 and $10.00 an hour, and gas prices are approximately $4.00 per gallon, what does that mean? Ladies and gentlemen those are the jobs that a majority of U.S. citizens are dragging themselves to.

Wow. Why is this super-loser's face all over the television screen?

I must say. The swirl of media coverage regarding a particular weddding in Europa is absolutely absurd. Additionally, for the most part, the parties are stunningly unattractive. Lastly, I am ashamed that more people haven't enough bottle to state the aforementioned. I am aghast.

You want to know how I did it? This is how I did it, Anton. I never saved anything for the swim back.

So, I'm thinking if gas prices exceed $5.00 per gallon, and folks continue to drag their feet on building a real public transportation system....well, certain parts of Detroit Metro might start to look like a scene out of Resident Evil: Extinction.

Donald Trump is simply a loser on a higher level. Nothing more, nothing less.

MLK was a Figurehead

By JuJuan Buford Did he become more? Of course he did. Nevertheless, the movement chose him to be its face. In other words MLK was not the movement. The people were the movement; the hundreds and thousands of unsung heroes; the strivings for freedom and justice; everyday people. The danger of lionizing men and women so much, that we forget the peopleis that when he or she dies, people are too inclined to let movement die. MLK became a great leader. However if no one is there to organize, galvanize, and follow then King would have simply been taking a walk. The movement was the exercise of leadership, not one individual. So, yes MLK was a figurehead. A damn good one. King became a great leader. However, the Movement was and is You. And when you deny this simple fact, you disempower yourself. And you bastardize King. Just the random reflections of someone who thinks he knows a little something about activism.

You know, sometimes the Creator just smiles upon you. Gives you a little dap. And only asks thereafter that you simply return the favor...then pay it forward. JuJuan Buford
