There are so many things in this world that are out of our control. This is not necessarily all good or all bad, just a fact. The obviousness of the statement makes it no less important to highlight and discuss. It starts, literally, from our beginnings. We do not control the family we are […]
I have to amend my bucket list… http://diaryofamadmind.com/index.php/2016/08/17/my-bucket-list/ I have put a visit to the new National Museum of African American History and Culture at the top of my amended list.

If I hear one more Republican pundit excusing the racist bullshit out of their candidates by explaining that we need to remember that they were the party of Lincoln…well we all know I’m not going to do shit…but my fantasy would be to Stooge smack the shit out of each of these fools. I […]

Approximately thirty (30%) percent of the US population is comprised of Blacks and Hispanics, yet roughly sixty (60%) percent of the US’s prison population is comprised of Blacks and Hispanics.
