ABOUT BARBIE (The doll not the movie.) When I was nine years old, I wanted a Barbie Townhouse. Now understand, I had no Barbies. Never really wanted a Barbie. I liked baby dolls, but I wanted a Barbie Townhouse. It was three stories tall and most importantly, it had an elevator. I wanted that...

First, if you haven't watched the docuseries SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE, you need to watch it. If not every episode, you need to watch the last episode. If you don't know what IBLP and ATI stand for, you need to learn. ( Institute in Basic Life Principles and Advanced Training Institute ) These...

Tipping is not required and if you get bad service, you'd be a fool to tip for that. HOWEVER, We allow this thing called a "tip wage" of $2.13. The wage is based on customers tipping (which they are not required to do) enough to make up an actual wage of no less than $7.25, the federal...

What do socialism and capitalism mean to you and has your understanding of these words changed since you first encountered them?

THE JOB IS THE THING "Lord, I am just blessed to have a job." How many times have you heard that? How many times have you said that? How many times have you looked across a counter at a food service worker, or store cashier who wasn't smiling and polite and think, "If you don't want to be...

My special FLOTUS is Michelle Obama. She my girl. I got her, I got her back. I love her swagger, her flow, her class and style. Some people have class and some people have style, but few have both. She has both plus a pride that is in no way sinful. And at the same time she is possessed of an...

Privilege is not something you keep in a barrel like pickles and you just reach your hand in when you need some. It is more like you are a fish and privilege is the water you swim in. An Example of privilege is: I get to get lost in strange buildings because I don't have to remember how I get...

The French got it right. Liberté, égalité, fraternité Liberty, equality, brotherhood. The U.S. started out with loving liberty, or at least a certain type of liberty, the white male ownership class kind of liberty. Then through through war, waves of immigration and migration, and the emergence...

THE SLAYERS OF THE DREAM When Dr. King and the rest of the delegation from the Montgomery Improvement Association went to their first meeting with Montgomery public officials and representatives of the bus company, they went there with a proposal, a pragmatic and realistic one. They wanted a...

Did you know that White People are brand new? Not all white people. Some white people were actually on this planet before last Tuesday. I know. I saw them. But on a fairly regular basis, and especially in February, I find myself discovering again and again that there are these fully grown and...

One April Afternoon The sun rolled across the sky on beams that turned like spokes. White and bright the sun gave off light but not enough heat for a little girl child to play outside without her sweater. While the sun reigned white in the sky, I played brown on the ground, play writing with a...

I was four, a week or so shy of my fifth birthday. We were visiting my father's family in Putnam county GA. My father left our family home, which was now my aunt Lucille's house, early that morning. He and my Uncle Dave were going into town to spend the day with my uncle Will. My uncle was a...
