Nothing For Lynching And Police Brutality, But.....

Just like the Asian Hate Crime legislation, here we go again. Another already protected class, receiving more benefits of being considered white, or more specifically, non-FBA. None of these politicians are worth a damn, the black one's either coon or tether, the others fight only for self and white supremacy and leave us to catch the bullets. This is just another straw on the camel's back!

Ryan Garcia Is A Drug Cheat

It hurt my feelings to watch my man Dev lose that fight the other night. He outboxed Garcia but Ryan walked through his punches. I kept saying not only did he cheat missing weight but he looked like the Hulk compared to Devin. Well come to find out, he's a drug cheat. Thank God for VADA testing.

Justice Or Just-Us

We are seeing a high uptick in white on black hate crimes concerning our women and young girls specifically. While these satanic crimes include assaults, rapes and murders, the non justice system continues to work as it was designed. We need to stop asking the courts for justice. I would prefer these guys start praying for jail time instead of lighter sentences. When you come out, the protection is over! Where are the parents, the brothers, the sisters, the community etc?

A Lot Of Blacks Are In The College Pro Palestine Protests

When they show the crowds, there are a lot of Blacks, especially brothers. Not saying its not a worthy cause to protest but... they are taking names and canceling folks. The ones who had their jobs pulled a few months ago included black students.

I got family at HBCUs and as far as I know (and if anyone knows otherwise please share), they aren't doing all that at Howard, Clark or Morehouse or Spelman.

I assume (and hope) these brothers (and some sisters) were just as vocal during the Floyd/BLM protests. Personally, I'm rather go all out for a Black specific cause and give 'moral support' to non Black causes, generally. Case by case basis.

Songwriter Sylvia Moy Saved Stevie Wonder's Career

Sylvia Moy - 1939-2017
Prolific Motown Records producer and songwriter. Wrote over 180 songs, with Grammy nominations, 20 BMI Awards
Biography
Moy grew up on the northeast side of Detroit with her eight brothers and sisters, performing on pots and pans to keep themselves busy and musical. Once she reached school, she played jazz and classical, but found her true place behind the scenes at Motown Records.The first woman at the Detroit-based music label to write and produce for Motown acts, she is probably best known for her songs written with and for Stevie Wonder. According to Berry Gordy’s autobiography To Be Loved, Moy was directly responsible for the label keeping Stevie Wonder. Gordy wrote that, after Stevie’s voice began to change as a result of puberty, he was going to drop him from the label. It was then that Moy went to Gordy and asked “if she could come up with a hit for Stevie would he reconsider;” he agreed. Her first writing success came with “Uptight (Everything’s Alright),” which she co-wrote with fellow SHOF inductee, Henry “Hank” Cosby, after hearing Wonder improvising on piano. Moy wrote lyrics to the song, which she conveyed to Wonder by singing into his headphones one line ahead as he recorded. In 2006, when Moy was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Wonder made a surprise appearance at the ceremony to perform “Uptight” for his former collaborator.Among the subsequent hit singles Moy wrote and/or produced while at Motown were Stevie Wonder’s “My Cherie Amour,” “I Was Made to Love Her,” and “Never Had a Dream Come True;” and “Honey Chile” and “Love Bug Leave My Heart Alone” by Martha and the Vandellas. She also co-wrote “This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You)” with Holland-Dozier-Holland for the Isley Brothers; and “It Takes Two” with William “Mickey” Stevenson for Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston. She was the first female to have the title of “record producer” at the label, and one of the busiest and well-known songwriters of the time.Moy went on to write the theme songs for many television shows and movies and eventually earned six Grammy nominations and 20 BMI awards. She made a solid investment in the future of the arts when she co-founded the Center for Creative Communications, also known as “Masterworks,” which trains young adults in the field of telecommunications and media arts.Moy died of complications from pneumonia in Dearborn, Michigan, at the age of 78.

I took some positive things from it. The advice hits home for the brotha or sista who wants to be a rapper, singer, entertainer. Far be it for me to tell someone not to go after their dream. I get it, we've been given 2 lanes to excel in historically: sports and entertainment.

The world (or rather America) pays big money for the trades. I celebrate brothers or sisters with their own business than being an entertainer. Not hating on it. I just would love to see us all diversify into all kinds of lanes other than two that are already competitive ASF and has gotten political.
