State of Affairs

Hi there reader! Well it’s been a while since I’ve updated my site, but I plan on spending more time with it and keeping it updated as we move forward. I pay for this every month so I might as well use it to it’s fullest. Right now in the world, Russia recently invaded the Ukraine. Although there have been reports of Ukrainians being racist towards black Africans there, I still pray for them that they make it through this. I saw a post on Instagram from a caucasian Ukrainian that was scratching on his portable Reloop turntable. He mentioned he was stuck in his basement and that they are constantly hearing sirens, gunfire, and explosions. That’s terrible for anyone to have to endure and people should be allowed to live in peace, even the ones who may harbor some prejudice. Those people are just victims of misinformation and a lack of intellect to think for themselves. That prejudice is perpetuated by people who show black people as thugs, hoodlums, and a people lacking intelligence. It’s by design. I was reading today about a black neighborhood on the south side of Chicago that was called Bronzeville in the 1920’s to the 50’s. It was a hub of black culture, arts, commerce, and general black progression. “They” saw to it that it was destroyed by redlining, and infusing drugs into the communities. When I was growing up in Chicago you could see the remnants of Bronzeville, but it had been replaced by abandoned buildings, crack addicts, prostitution and crimes of all sorts. I don’t want to get too political or conspiratorial on this page anymore, but the last thing I’ll say on what’s going on in the world is that the good people of our planet need to come together to make a difference. We need to take back our planet from the darkness and bring it into the light. I know there’s a huge mountain ahead toward doing that, but we have to start climbing it one inch at a time. Take care of yourselves.
