Check the GOP before they check YOU!

I am certainly not surprised by such attempts from the GOP . They're grasping  at straws to legitimize a stance for upcoming election after President Barack Obama term has ended. Thus amalgamate they're acrimony that is inbred . I hope we as a people don't sleep through these attempts at re justifyArticle I, Section. 2 [Slaves count as 3/5 persons] which to deny African Americans equal opportunity as per voting and such absolute so be our constitution. We must assume responsibility for ourselves. Nothing or any other being can deter us but us to blame if we sit back allowing the GOP assholes and the Supreme Court to mandate such absurdty. It is time… as per Reverend Al Sharpton "to look in the mirror at ourselves." Time to re- adjust our thinking by mandatory steps for a brave scheme dedicate posture for our own leadership so as not to be held captive repeated rhetoric of the past. Last night I pulled out several books which I use as reference for such occasion. Pouring through dog ear pages of Dred Scott v. Sanford (1857) following up with the Denmark Vessey "The Buried Story of America's Slave Rebellion and the Man who led it and my badly torn book by Leon Higginbotham Jr. Shades of Freedom. I can't thank you for the return to crucial thought in critical times that will if allowed hard ones ahead to complex to deal with. I can reference the situation at present in Far Rockaways namely the City Housing Projects which after Sandy have been enduring an American crisis through red lining, political footsie and trickery with relief funds allocated for the Hurricane Sandy victims as per Katrina. I only hope to remain steadfast helping along with others to disseminate important information into the community . It takes a village everyone! I beg of you all to wake up now don't let the GOP catch you asleep. While they perpetuate racism in back room political orgies trying to revise the 13th amendment with slick twist with a brand nu vernacular. WAKE UP!!!

Turn the music off and listen to their  song…it will lull you forever.

Colorful sisters

Photo
We women beauty of a darker hue love your skin you're Blessed beings of darkness ... Share some love and stand up you make the difference . Be my greatest inspiration. Life is what we make it. We women of the Sahara , of our continent be An inspiration to each other with so many strong examples for which to follow. Unite sharing our unique talents, mentoring to help strengthen  each one . An example of inspiration comes from Mama Africa    , noted Queen Nzinga –  The reformist Also knows as Queen Jinga, she is known to have assigned women to important government offices in present day Angola. Two of her war leaders were reputedly her sisters, her council of advisors contained many women, among others her sisters, Princess Grace Kifunji and Mukumbu, the later Queen Barbara, and women were called to serve in her army. Nzinga organized a powerful guerrilla army, conquered some of her enemies and developed alliances to control the slave routes. She even allied with the Dutch to help her stop the Portuguese advancement. . . Just a little FYI which I am sure our sisters are certainly informed. And yes our men are important when one becomes two there undoubtedly are a force to be reckon with .      "Girls are the future mothers of our society, and it is important that we focus on their well-being. "

A weekend to remember ...

As-Salāmu `Alaykum ....an amazing weekend in Baltimore . My daughter's wedding and yes the bless occasion with Sadig arriving in full regalia dancing with daughter to Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds" moment for tears of joy and celebration.  Her brother Dr.  Hanifa Jones officiate the ceremony.  Wonderful greeting to very lovely Audrey Sadig Jones and thank you so much.  The occasion was extra special with the remembrance of Dr.Martin Luther King Jr.  Weekend leading up to our President Barack Obama inauguration all in one weekend to be remembered . Sending peace universal love out to the Adams family  and congratulation to Mr. & Mrs. Adams .  Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
"Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. "  Khalil Gibran

Lepadah's Marble Beat

Marble beat 

 

You are the energy Ptah of my poetry 

the heart shared within me

the every essence  inside her membrane 

the lining to ones  interior 

together bred superior 

scribe rhyme language lines 

still time, dead moment

you be the marble beat 

a volution about the cavity 

settling about the bowel of her canal

where no Ra sets 

we are the winter reason for a season that never was

and now is the coldest memory ever

to remember the birth Isis and Osiris 

third Eye of the Ba - bird cape  wings 

cast custody

many a mural reflection of the union 

eternally  Ibis

 

you're beautiful beyond Eye (I)

Spike Lee's Bamboozled Trailer

That's what's up


Lepadah

Synopsis on Django

Photo
Synopsis on Django years of painful wounds unhealed. Exposé the diabolical mentality of slave owners who psychohistory of degradation, physical torture only an animalistic individuals, beastly barbarian could contrive such brutal reign thus as a review of roots and now Quentin Tarantino brilliant conceptualist portrayal in Django how very clever to present the unflinching  character of django united with a German bounty hunter who thus despised the warped at time inarticulate yawns and guffaws of half wits, pompous plantation owners who knowledge I cringed in my seat at wounds still open even in dramatic parody untwined truth and historical validity.  My joints jump at the word nigger ... Flinched witnessing good old uncle tom crying over his dead master and would turn his own mammy in if she was part of an uprise. Yes just in days of Nat Turner we have amongst us the slave mind a whisper rat unable to be a man. Mentality tied to his oppressor through years of massive and meticulous brainwashing. Those marks will never be erase.  Speak for history. After the lynchings, rapes,killings if Spike would like to project and pontificate on Mr . Quentin Tarantino
movie so be Mr. Lee I'll await your next film with anticipation . A true wonder of Lee was his film Bamboozled love it. Just like Django a edge of the seat western full of emotional reality done only in a QT presentation splendidly so . I must say the woman seated next to me cried throughout the movie so he did what a good movie is suppose make you feel... Peace be one ...

Lenox Lounge ...three hot spots uptown last night.

Photo

As-Salāmu `Alaykum good people.  Blessing out to the all and peace to the New Year! Alright uptown Harlem celebration and a sad farewell to the Historical Lenox Lounge where dreams came true, writers wrote, jazz was phenomenal , gangsters hustled and played were movies once made, politics discussed. Yes as the cars pull up, balloons brought in, photographers , reporters onlookers watched as the lights lit the street for last time. Tonight-musician, singers paid Tribute tradition and a fabulous Harlem way as only they can.  I ate my last meal which simply Swedish meatballs,chicken , mac & cheese with side piece cornbread. That was the only thing being served last night. Upon leaving I danced my way out a smooth hustle they referred to him Diamond dealer ... And off with my entourage headed to Poet Abiodun Oyewole party was going down even though he was away in Senegal but night continue to a super bad party which featured live performance supreme I might add by the wonder herself Cynthia Scott who turned the joint out with along with  Lady Cantrese  with blazing band full of noted musicians, guest were treated to wonderful food and drinks ... The spacious apartment overlooking the city was packed. My evening was jazz heaven to say the least. Some pics and clips of the events will be posted later peace and be bless .
