Dear, GSU President Search Committee.

I sure hope that this time an actual search for Grambling’s next President will be conducted unlike seven years ago. The next President does not have to be a Grambling graduate. They already tried that. However, if should happen to be a Grambling graduate, make sure they understand and actually promote HBCU/Black culture and Black consciousness at Grambling State university on a daily basis.  For the next President, would it be possible to select a person with a Ph.D, who has years of experience in working at a university especially a HBCU as a Professor, a VP for Student Affairs, VP for Academic Academic Enhancement, VP and Provost, a Dean of students or a President of a university, especially a HBCU? Would it possible that the next President of Grambling to have some knowledge of recruitment of Black students? Not only in certain parts of Louisiana, but all over the country? Grambling is a national and global phenomenon. Could the next be a person who sees great value in having Lyceu

I Wonder If Jeremy Brown were Trans.

 I Wonder If #JeremyBrown were Trans.  6/28/2023 I wonder if the cheering of Jeremy Brown’s murder would be as loud and sanctimonious if he were a trans woman (a dude that identifies as a woman) punching a biological black female as a result of a heated argument. I wonder if Black men and black women would hold the trans woman to the same standard of, “A real man never argues with a woman.” I wonder if the Black females DA in Chicago, Kim Foxx, would have completely dropped ALL charges and as quickly as she did if the murdered person were trans. I wonder if the description of “murdered victim” would be stripped away from Jeremy Brown if he were trans.  I am wondering about this because I rarely hear or read anywhere where the Black community raises it voice about the dudes who wear wigs who often verbally or physically assault biological women in this country. The trans women have even joined women’s sports such as MMA kick boxing to “legally” pummel women. Yet, I only seem to hear the

The Agenda Continues! SMH!

Dr. Francess Cress Welsing who wrote “The Isis Papers” told us years before her passing, that there would be days like this and here we are. It’s blantantly staring all of us in the face and WE still seem to be either in disbelief or caught off guard. What Jaden Smith is doing and continues to do is a contractual agreement. He’s been in a few gender bending clothing ads for white fashion companies before this one. His father, Will Smith, describes him as being brave. Remember, his dad when he was the age that Jaden is now, starred in his first movie, “Six Degrees of Separation” where he got his cheeks clapped by a man, who just happened to be white. Now, his son has grown up to move in the space created by his dad where he now is gets his preverbal cheeks claps by white entities in these cross dressing clothing ads for women.  The agenda is not only real. It apparently gets passed down. What continues to be baffling is the agreement with this agenda by so many supposedly heterosexual,

Billy Porter is the WRONG choice for James Baldwin Biopic! 4/20/2023

I Completely DISAGREE with Billy Porter portraying James Baldwin. James Baldwin was a human rights activist who fought against white supremacy on behalf of black people in his speeches, his writing and his actions. He just happened to be gay. Billy Porter is very ill cast for his Biopic. He has none of the essence nor could he pull off the cadence of a great James Baldwin. Billy Porter is not a good actor. His voice is trash.  He’s trash.  He’s being used to push a false narrative of homophobia in the black community of which he is “proud” to do. Billy Porter is just a flaming sissy who does ANYTHING to stay relevant in Hollywood. James Baldwin was a man of deep thoughts and deep compassion for justice for Black people. Whoever cast this guy has no interest in showing the actual major of James Baldwin. Instead, they will minor in him being gay and possibly show him in some Lee Daniels, P Valley inspired graphic sex scenes with white men, which will be to Billy Porter’s delight.  You ca

Ja Morant, Your image does matter. 4/20/2023

As a little boy and a young man growing up in north Memphis, Hollywood and Springdale, I NEVER followed the trends of the streets nor did I ever subscribe to the Nigga mentally. I was economically poor, but I was rich in dignity, self respect and class. We were on food stamps and Welfare, but my mother fed me the right moral food and took great concern in my well-being.  So, all of these excuses about #JaMorant being young does not fly with me. Displaying this look and this behavior (when you have millions) of eyes 👀 on you every day is indicative of a breakdown in his upbringing or the people whom he surrounds himself with. Whether he knows it or not, Ja is an influencer to thousands of young people. I just wish he would finally start using his wide spread influence over the youth in a more positive way. Many of the youth and young adults in the city of Memphis already feeds on a steady diet of thuggism. Also, going by the rainbow colors in his dreads, the youth and young adults alre

Judge Joe Brown for Mayor of Memphis. 1/4/2023

If he wins, I may just move back home! His election would send the clear message that Black Memphis is finally ready to make the much needed economic, educational, political and community changes in leadership and in the mindset of the people. To live in a majority black city that’s on the move and it’s not Atlanta, would definitely be the soup for my soul.  We ALL at some point want to return to our home towns and cities to help make things better and not feel like an army of one. I think with the election of Judge Joe Brown to the mayor’s seat in Memphis, Tennessee for a lot of us who left Memphis initially for better economic opportunities or in my case (to salvage my mental health) returning home would become more of a considerable reality. Dallas is an AWESOME CITY! Dallas/FortWorth is an amazing metroplex. I’ve been here for 15 years now and I still feel the same excitement about this place as I did when I first drove across the glorious sight of Lake Ray Hubbard into downtown Da

The true priorities of Black Democrats 12/8/22

The ASSIGNED priorities of the black elected Democrat are Benign Neglect as it relates to black Americans, be anti anything that sounds like reparations for American slavery, the continuation of free tax payer paid abortions, LGBTQPIA issues, pushing these weird pronouns, gender reassignment issues for minors, more millions for the whites and Jews in the Ukraine, immigrant rights, more millions for Israel, the proliferation of feminist rhetoric and women’s issues, and to support any anti nuclear family policies.,Oh, and to vote for any new pedophillia legislation that’s coming before the state and federal House and Senate.  Now, if you happen to come across a black Democrat who actively and publicly rejects these assigned priorities, try to vote him or her as your next city council person, school board rep, state rep, Mayor, county commissioner, etc. But be careful now. You just might be supporting someone who is not a true Democrat. Rico The Opinionist YouTube/Twitter/TikTok/FB/IG htt
