This And That

As far as new cycles go, this has been a slow period. By now most of of have heard about Lesha Harper and her toddler. They called out half the racist cops in Phoenix when someone reported that a 4 year old black baby had taken a cheap ugly plastic doll made in China from the dollar store. The other half were busy shining they swastika’s and pulling over all black people riding in Cadillac’s and wearing sunglasses. Earlier some racist cop had pulled over a black FBI agent who promptly cussed him and the police chief out and they feeling some kinda way about black folks. Anywho, you can watch Harper family video here if you missed it. The family is suing them for “$10,000,000.” I wrote the figure out in bold in case any of them are reading this. You violated and you gonna pay for it!!

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote an article about gerrymandering. That’s when you outnumber them 10-1, but they still win by a majority. Where they do that at? Check out this link. I brought this up because on this day in 1957 the folks in Tuskegee, Alabama, was put on they list. That’s right, it was number two. Number one was that “black nig*@r” who moved into the house next to the widow Johnson. Now as a student of racistolgy, I can tell you when a racist just uses the “N” word, then most of the time they just trying to show off their supposed white superiority. But if they use the term “black nig*@r”, then they in they feelings and you can be in some real Mississippi Confederate army danger, so watch out. They had something special planned for him. They was just waiting for their hoods to come back from the cleaners. Festus wanted to forget the hoods and just wear pillow cases, but he was over ruled because a majority of them wanted a formal house and cross burning. Anywho when the black folks of Tuskegee decided to flex their voting power, the city changed their boundary, effectively moving their neighborhoods outside of the city limits so they couldn’t vote for city offices. It was on then. You can read about it here.

On the serious side, there was a story about Willie McCoy. Willie was a black man shot 55 times while he was sleeping in his car. The shooting happened in February and just this month the city said an independent report concluded that the shooting was justified. If somebody was paying me a hundred thousand dollars and told me they wanted me to do an independent report on a “justified” shooting, then I’m going to write a report on a “justified” shooting. First of all they not going out and hiring anybody to do a report that’s going to cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars to criticize them and make them liable for millions more. If they do they need a new mayor. It’s getting harder and harder to sympathize with the good cops that are killed in the line of duty when you read about so many bad cops. Black men have been shot in the back and killed running, shoot on their knees with their hands up, strangled for selling cigarettes, killed with their babies in the car, sleeping at a taco bell and in other situations in which white Americans take for granted. But you know something, I’m not going to let this killing of black be the new norm. I am not going to become insensitive to it. Willie McCoy was shot 55 times while sleeping in his car.. you can read about it here.

I read somewhere that Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the presidents press secretary was due to step down at the end of the month. She had already admitted to lying to the American public about the Mueller report. I don’t know where she will land after this job, but maybe we can get her to come on “Face The Negro with Daye Lyon.” We will see. Sanders is the daughter of Mike Huckabee, one of the failed presidential candidates for the Republican tickets in 2016. Here are two of my favorite memes about Sarah.

Finally, tomorrow is Juneteenth. Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19^th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. We were supposed to be free after Lincoln’s 1863 Emancipation Proclamation. However the proclamation never made it to Texas. Later attempts to explain this two and a half year delay in the receipt of this important news have yielded several versions that have been handed down through the years. Often told is the story of a messenger who was murdered on his way to Texas with the news of freedom. Another, is that the news was deliberately withheld by the enslavers to maintain the labor force on the plantations. And still another, is that federal troops actually waited for the slave owners to reap the benefits of one last cotton harvest before going to Texas to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation. Anyway, they finally found out 154 years ago tomorrow, that they had been set free. Happy Juneteenth.
