New Face of America

I came across a really good article by Ruben Navarretta on CNN Opinion entitled “Minorities are not looking for ‘payback http://www.cnn.com/2012/05/24/opinion/navarrette-minority-babies/index.html?hpt=hp_bn7’. In the past few years there have been quite a few articles that have dealt with the obvious that the face of American is changing. Its becoming more lively with different shades of color, infusing different cultures and a dash of new traditions to the America of past. The new face of American is out to improve them selves in a country that totes freedom, liberty and the idea of improving themselves and making it. That is the American Dream is it not to make it however you identify that as being.

B.I.G Poppa Birthday



Happy Birthday to “Brooklyn’s Finest The Notorious B.I.G” born on this date May 21, 1972. An amazing talent taken to young and before all of his true talent could come to light. B.I.G music is still excellent to listen to 15 years after his death. Take the time and go down memory lane listening to “Real Love” the remix with B.I.G on Mary J. Blidge’s single or one of my personal favorites “Dolly My Baby” on Super Cat’s single. Listen to “Juicy”, “Big Poppa” or “Ten Crack Commandments” for classic Notorious.

Queen of Disco Dead at 63 "Donna Summer"


OK, came back from a nice lunch to the news that Donna Summer the ultimate of Disco/Dance music is dead at the age of 63! I was very shocked to hear the news of her passing from a battle with Cancer. She leaves us with such hits as “Last Dance”, “She Works Hard for the Money” (great video if you haven’t seen it) and “Bad Girls”. She was the first female artist to chart with back – to – back multi platinum double albums.  An amazing voice an amazing style icon in the high day of disco! Rest in Peace to a dive Donna Summer!

Behind Close Doors





OK, so I am a Jay Groupie I admit from way back in Brooklyn! His one statement surprisingly shocked me was "What people do in their own homes is their business and you can choose to love whoever you love. That's their business. It's no different than discriminating against blacks. It's discrimination, plain and simple." Jay Z I might have felt a bit better if he had come out a few years back but I will take what I can get. Especially from a genre which tends to lean closer to homophobic.

That is exactly my feelings on the anger that people reflect on same-sex love! Why does it worry and scare people so much on what is being done behind other people’s doors! Especially when as a country we have much more to worry about at this time like unemployment, changing education so that this country can compete in a more technological world, a cure for HIV and feeding the hungry in this country. Honestly you may not like or agree with same-sex couples but have respect for human beings and their feelings.

A amazing night with the beautiful, soulful and social conscious Esperanza Spalding at her intimate concert in Queen City performance at the Knight Theater. This was my first time watch the Grammy winner perform I missed her the first time she visited and performed. The girl is amazingly talented her band just as talented and she never lets the audience for get how amazing her band is. Together her band and her self brought the music a live shared bits and piece of her soul with the audience. I love live music, enjoy band, orchestras and Esperanza’s voice and basses just made me want to go out and create something amazing! You guys look out for my next piece of poetry because I am expired!!!! Love the show and I fell in love with Esperanza Spalding in her honey colored dress, sky high pumps and beautiful fro!

Obama - Biden Support Same-Sex Marriange



I would like to say that I am pleased with both Obama and Biden coming out in support of the LBGT community on same sex marriage. It’s a personal choice of who you love and I don’t believe that it should be denied. Life is so short, so fleeting and grabbing happiness is a beautiful thing that all should have a chance to experience. Experience to the fullest and if they choose to enter into marriage then nothing should hold them back including same sex laws against marriage.

"At a certain point I've just concluded that for me, personally, it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married," Obama said.

North Caroline Passes Amendment Against Gay Marriages

North Carolina becomes the 29th state to pass an amendment that ban’s same sex marriages. At this time the approved Amendment One not only bans’s same sex marriages but bans civil unions and domestic partnerships for gay or straight couples. Which at this time will threaten health benefits, financial rights and emergency medical decisions for not only gay couples but straight couples? I wonder if those that voted for this bill yesterday on a very rain Tuesday realize that there issues with gay rights would also affect so called straight families! I am the 39% who stood in the rain and voted at a Church polling place with a banner that read “Love God, Love Yourself and Love Your Neighbor” while 61% voted to take away rights of not only gay couples but some straight also. Yup I am just a little pissed!

North Carolina VS Same-Sex Marriage

Today is the day that North Caroline will be voting in the primary election. My voter registration card is tucked in my bag along with my one form of identification just in case. I want to be prepared just in case! I am going to vote against the referendum to ban same-sex marriage! Honestly in my heart I know that North Caroline is not a state that is ready to accept same-sex marriage since they already have in place a law that bans it. Still I want to support same sex marriage and hopefully my vote might make a difference. If this referendum is past it will place women in jeopardy in cases of domestic violence and affect health care for same-sex couples.

A Beastie Boy Dies






I was shocked to read that a member of the Beastie Boys has died! Adam “MCA” Yauch passed away at the age of 47. He passed away from his battle with cancer after 3 years of salivary gland cancer. Salivary gland cancer is a rare t be diagnosed in someone younger then 55.  It seems that parotid cancer is very rare. When I think of the Beastie Boys I will always remember the anthem “You Gotta Fight for the Right to Party.” The most definitely made listen and enjoying Rock music very cool for a lil Haitian girl from Brooklyn who just enjoyed all types of music genre. RIP to Adam Yauch’s who help to take rap outside of Brooklyn and crossed the color lines.
