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 can definitely count me out as a movie goer and a tv viewer whenever this purposeful train wreck hits the theaters and the streaming services. I think Billy Porter is better suit to portray the historical civil rights figure, Bayard Rustin. According to reports, He was the Billy Porter of the civil rights movement.

The Greatest Pain I've Ever Felt: The Conversation with my Absent biological father who never wanted to be found.

The Greatest Pain I Had Ever Felt occurred over 25 years ago while I was still a student at Grambling State University. I will never forget the night that changed everything for me. I remember I was working nights, after class, at the university’s health center in the cleaning department as a work-study student in Grambling State University’s student work-study program to earn extra money to pay for books, food and other living expenses. I liked working there because when I would go on breaks, I would casually slip into one of the nurse’s offices and talk on the phone while my supervisor would be in the break room eating and talking with the nurses who were working the night shift. Well, on this particular night, I discovered that I could make long distance phone calls courtesy of the university health center. The first person I called was my favorite aunt Patricia who lived in Dallas. We started our conversation with me sharing about how things were going for me at college. Then, I a...

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 se...

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 L...
