Hold out, and keep the faith
I see where the Grammy Awards ceremony is scheduled for Sunday night. Hundreds of artists have been nominated for the top awards in the music industry.
Lula Collins never won a Grammy. Hold out, and keep the faith.
I hope she got her reward elsewhere.

As I feel more and more alone, my phone confidently connects with everyone. As I feel more and more lost, my phone calmly knows how to get anywhere. As I struggle to remember mundane things like the name of that movie with the boat and the guy with the lip, my phone smugly recalls literally everything. As I increasingly lose the nouns, verbs and adjectives that once stood ready to articulate my thoughts, my phone taunts me with its instant access to all the words there have ever been. There is only one possible conclusion. Slowly, without realizing it, I seem to have outsourced my mind to my phone. And to make matters worse, the damn thing knows it… and it’s starting to screw with me. Several times during the day I feel it buzz in my pocket, alerting me that some vital information has just arrived. Then, when I look, there’s nothing there. No email. No text. Nothing. Was the buzz in my mind? I don’t think so. I think it’s purposeful. I think my phone is mocking me. And it’s not just my phone. It’s all of them. They are working together, systematically robbing us of our intelligence, our humanity. And then, when we are made stupid and helpless, they will take over. It’s just a matter of time before the next generation of iPhone is equipped with an opposable thumb. Oh yeah, they’re smart alright. Evil, world domination smart.

Where, for the love of G-d, do you come up with that MS romanticized version of GWTW? Saying something positive for a change instead of falling for the same, old, tired and worn out bromides? I thought you were more sophisticated and better educated than that. And I’m not good with that. Sorry, but falling for prejudices, regardless of whom they are oriented to, is unhealthy,
Your insistence on doing that reminds me of Pogo, Kayaker, et al. who simply cannot discuss anything Black without dipping into the well of stereotypes, etc, about what’s going on in the ghettoes, the hood, or what have you. A part of the community? Of course. But its defining element? Really?
What if every time the subject of gay folks came up, I accused you of whitewashing or taking a romanticized view if you didn’t do some mea culpa for the way some of you straight folks have treated us in the past, or for that matter how some of you still do?

“the well of stereotypes”……. “the ghettos and the hood” scream at you but you ignore it. If just once, some one from the left would acknowledge that there is a problem, it would be a start. But you and others like you just continue to ignore the obvious. It must be just too politically correct to address. Perhaps if we ignore it, it will go away. But the number of murders in Chicago continue to rise, Bozoette even goes to Chicago for a gangland murder and even she ignores what is really going on. How can a problem be address if we even ignore the fact that it exists?

I did what when Mississippi was brought up? I simply made the point that if you know the state you know the importance of the Neshoba County Fair. I also made the point that Philadelphia is a predominantly white town with a Black mayor. There’s no tears there. Just a simple statement of reality versus popular mythology.
You WANT me to be a martyr, and I won’t do that for you or anybody else. It ain’t healthy.
And, blind as Batman, you seem to have completely missed the point that I thought the whole shebang was an insult to Mississippi, a pander to the Southern strategy, and a stupid choice of locale.
And, dingbat, it wasn’t Mississippi I was coming to the “defense” of, but Philadelphia and Neshoba County, which, unlike you, have moved on…

Would seem that those who focus solely on molestation of little boys fail to recall that unfortunately plenty of little girls are also molested. Perhaps rather than trying to focus on some claim of stupidity, educate yourself and learn what current science says about those who act in this manner. Pedophillia is not a homosexual or heterosexual issue. it is an abuse of children issue.

Your problem is that you are equating pedophilia with sexual attraction. Sex is the weapon, not the goal…and children, of either sex, are the target because they are weaker and more vulnerable.
