Occupied

Today I learned about a movement called Occupy the Hood. It's based on the nation/world-wide "occupy" movement that is prevalent throughout societies.




Occupy the Hood was started by a sister in Detroit, and chapters are springing up through the country. Its goal is to bring concerns of black people and other people of color to the forefront is they relate to the broader occupy Wall Street movement.

It's a very crucial and critical time in this society--economically, racially, class-wise, and so on.

It's all just a matter of what the masses are prepared or willing to do and how quickly.

Still

It's good to know people are still coming to my blog even though I have not been posting much lately. For some I'm sure the visits are sincere. They're truly interested in what I have to share. For others I know it's for more malicious and evil reasons. Either way, here and at any other venue where I have a platform or am allowed to present myself, the truth will prevail as it concerns my life, who I do, what I stand/fight for, what I struggle with, challenges I face, and my development.

Lately I have had Nas' album Stillmatic in heavy rotation. This particular song speaks volumes.
