Changing Times.

There is an epidemic of homelessness in America. When I went into Los Angeles back during May of 2019, I saw a lot of homeless people. There are about 568,000 homeless people in America right now. More people are living outdoors. That is why protests, vigils, and programs are in existence to fight for better conditions among people. The rise in the stock market is not telling the whole story of the American economy. Wall Street benefits heavily by the exploitation of workers for the sake of the accumulation of profit. Today, we have the opiod overdose crisis, gun violence, and the rising suicide rate. There has been a lower American life expectancy than a few years ago. After the 2008 recession, many jobs that some people got are low wage jobs of the gig economy. Tons of people have to relay on Uber or Grubhub to get extra crash for survival. The 400 richest people in America combined have more wealth than the bot tom 64 person. With corporate and estate taxes cut, the 91 of the largest corporations pay zero or negative federal income taxes. Trump cutting SNAP will led into starvation. That is why moderation doesn't work. Only progressive, structural change can solve these problems.

Some super sensitive white people have always have a hatred of black people and black culture. The truth is that black music has existed for a long time. Even many scholars have acknowledged the black pioneers of gospel, hip hop, jazz, rock, R&;B, etc. The song by the artist Mesus is a desperate attempt to try to promote guilt against black people, but it won't work. Eminem never apologized to Lauryn Hill or to black people in general. The basketball argument is silly by Mesus, because black folks already know about the origins of basketball. Yet, many of these haters refuse to acknowledge the black roots of hip hop music. Mesus' response is filled with deception, deflection, and total insecurities. Mesus is also racist by calling Nick the whitest black person that he knows. He even questioned the existence of black music. Anyone who is black cosigning Mesus is a traitor. It should shock no one that the same people who stole resources, lands, and other things in the world will try to lecture the oppressed on issues. Mesus and other racists wouldn't dare call for the banning of Irish, Jewish, or Greek cultural institutions, because of the obvious reason. Black music and Black culture belong to black people. Folks needs to respect this fact.

One great author of the Harlem Renaissance was Anita Scott Coleman. She lived in a time in America where overt lynching was commonplace, but her fight for justice was always powerful in her soul. She was born in Mexico and was raised in New Mexico when she was 3 years old. She was a school teacher had an intense passion for creative writing. She worked with the French film production company named Pathe and desired equality for black Americans. Her stories were diverse in their content and unified with the intention of stirring the readers' thinking. Her eloquence was monumental, and she loved her husband plus her five children unconditionally.
Rest in Power Sister Anita Scott Coleman.
