Friday Developments.

Times may change, but the goal of justice remains the same. The cases involving the Ahmaud Arbery murder and the Kyle Rittenhour situation are in trial now. We have bizarre events where one  judge in the Kyle trial has allowed a biased juror on, and another judge in the Arbery case dismissed many black potential jurors completely. These cases deal with oppression, injustice, vigilantism, and race. There is absolutely no justification for Ahmaud Arbery's death period. There is no excuse for Kyle to buy an illegal gun and go into Wisconsin to kill human beings period. We have been through this road before. We want justice to be served, but we're certainly not naïve. This is why voting matters. Voting determines the type of judges we get, the type of people on our school board, and the type of investments we have including the type of legislators exist in all levels of government. So, it is vitally crucial that we know the issues, stand up for our God given rights, and help our neighbors out of a sincere, justified motivation.

 


Aaron Rodgers is not playing for the Green Bay Packers, because he has the pandemic virus. You know that I don't agree with Skip Bayless on his obsession to criticize Lebron James and on other issues. Yet, he is right that Rodgers should face accountability for his actions, because Rodgers used deception involving the team on his status. Rodgers talked about immunization, but he wasn't honest to tell people whether he was vaccinated or not explicitly. Also, he didn't wear his wear and follow other procedures that people in the NFL ought to do if he or she isn't vaccinated. Rodgers is a grown man. You can't lie about your status and put your teammates at risk. I agree with Shannon Sharpe that the punishment should be quick and potent. You can't lie about an illness and potentially infect teammaters, doctors, and other members of the team.

 

The myth promoted by moderates like Virginia Rep. Abigail Spanberger and Senator John Manchin believed that Biden wasn't elected by the him to be FDR but just to stop the chaos. That is a myth. We voted against Trump not just to stop the chaos. We voted to desire fundamental, revolutionary change in society. The vast majority of people who voted for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are black people, people of color, and other human beings who didn't want the status quo of Trump. As black people, our interests should be heard and respected. Most Americans support universal pre-K, most Americans want higher taxes on the super wealthy, and most Americans want stronger voting rights protections (in opposition to voter suppression laws found in Texas, Georgia, and other states of America). We are America, and we are the growing majority. Token moderate talk is archaic, juvenile, and frankly disrespectful to the elderly, the hungry, the oppressed, the sick, and those in need of sweeping change in their own lives (like services to families, child tax credits, and Social Security). Biden signed the American Rescue Plan not to be moderate but to be progressive. The truth is that trickled down economics never worked.

 

Days ago was the Birthday of Sister Ariane Nicole Andrew, and she is 34 years old. Her ring name is Cameron. She is known for joining Tough Enough in 2011. Northridge, California is the place of her birth. She graduated from Granada Hills Charter High School. In that school, she was active in track and cross country. She was also a member of the school's drama club. Also, Ariane graduated from California State University, Northridge with a Bachelor of Arts in business marketing and a Bachelor of Science in psychology. After graduating, she moved to North Hollywood to work as a behavior therapist for autistic children. Her professional wrestling career has been around for years. Also, she has been in All Elite Wrestling starting in 2020. She has promoted video games and is against bullying with her campaign called "Wrong #" Ariane has released some songs too. I wish Sister Ariane Nicole more blessings. 

 

Days ago was the Birthday of Brother Larry Holmes, and he is 71 years old. For decades, Holmes has used his accomplishments to be one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time. He was born in Cuthbert, Georgia and grew up in Easton, Pennsylvania. His family moved into Easton by 1954. He fought since the 1970's involving boxing. During the early days of his career, he was a sparring partner for Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Earnie Shavers, and Jimmy Young. He defeated hard punching Earnie Shavers in March of 1978. Holmes defeated Ken Norton in 1978 too. After the controversial fight of him vs. Cooney, they became close friends. He continued to fight until 2002 after he defeated Butterbean by a 10 round unanimous decision on July 27, 2002 at Norfolk, Virginia. I was at that fight in real life when I was 18 years old. He supports community of Easton, he loves his wife plus their children too. His wife is Diane Robinson. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame by 2008. We salute Brother Larry Holmes.
