Black History Month Quote(s) of the day...
One of our greatest Leaders...I could just give ONE quote because he had so many GREAT quotes...check em out below:“I know no national boundary where the Negro is concerned. The whole world is my province until Africa is free.”
“The whole world is run on bluff”
“Let it be your constant method to look into the design of people's actions, and see what they would be at, as often as it is practicable; and to make this custom the more significant, practice it first upon yourself.”
“Liberate the minds of men and ultimately you will liberate the bodies of men.”
“God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement.”
“The Black skin is not a badge of shame, but rather a glorious symbol of national greatness”

Black History Quote of the day....
As a Poet and Writer I can soooooooo feel June on this quote:
'As a poet and writer, I deeply love and I deeply hate words. I love the infinite evidence and change and requirements and possibilities of language; every human use of words that is joyful, or honest or new, because experience is new. . . . But as a Black poet and writer, I hate words that cancel my name and my history and the freedom of my future: I hate the words that condemn and refuse the language of my people in America.'

Virginia Lawmakers Pass Slavery Apology....Well ((Maybe)) It's A Start...
Last month, Delegate Frank D. Hargrove said that "black citizens should get over" slavery. The 80-year-old Republican voted for the "symbolic measure."
By LARRY O'DELL
AP
RICHMOND, Va. (Feb. 24) - Meeting on the grounds of the former Confederate Capitol, the Virginia General Assembly voted unanimously Saturday to express "profound regret" for the state's role in slavery.
Sponsors of the resolution say they know of no other state that has apologized for slavery, although Missouri lawmakers are considering such a measure. The resolution does not carry the weight of law but sends an important symbolic message, supporters said.
"This session will be remembered for a lot of things, but 20 years hence I suspect one of those things will be the fact that we came together and passed this resolution," said Delegate A. Donald McEachin, a Democrat who sponsored it in the House of Delegates. The resolution passed the House 96-0 and cleared the 40-member Senate on a unanimous voice vote. It does not require Gov. Timothy M. Kaine's approval. The measure also expressed regret for "the exploitation of Native Americans." The resolution was introduced as Virginia begins its celebration of the 400th anniversary of Jamestown, where the first Africans arrived in 1619. Richmond, home to a popular boulevard lined with statues of Confederate heroes, later became another point of arrival for Africans and a slave-trade hub.
"This session will be remembered for a lot of things, but 20 years hence I suspect one of those things will be the fact that we came together and passed this resolution," said Delegate A.

Timothy M. Kaine's approval. The measure also expressed regret for "the exploitation of Native Americans." The resolution was introduced as Virginia begins its celebration of the 400th anniversary of Jamestown, where the first Africans arrived in 1619. Richmond, home to a popular boulevard lined with statues of Confederate heroes, later became another point of arrival for Africans and a slave-trade hub.
The resolution says government-sanctioned slavery "ranks as the most horrendous of all depredations of human rights and violations of our founding ideals in our nation's history, and the abolition of slavery was followed by systematic discrimination, enforced segregation, and other insidious institutions and practices toward Americans of African descent that were rooted in racism, racial bias, and racial misunderstanding." In Virginia, black voter turnout was suppressed with a poll tax and literacy tests before those practices were struck down by federal courts, and state leaders responded to federally ordered school desegregation with a "Massive Resistance" movement in the 1950s and early '60s. Some communities created exclusive whites-only schools.
The apology is the latest in a series of strides Virginia has made in overcoming its segregationist past. Virginia was the first state to elect a black governor - L. Douglas Wilder in 1989 - and the Legislature took a step toward atoning for Massive Resistance in 2004 by creating a scholarship fund for blacks whose schools were shut down between 1954 and 1964. Among those voting for the measure was Delegate Frank D. Hargrove, an 80-year-old Republican who infuriated black leaders last month by saying "black citizens should get over" slavery.
After enduring a barrage of criticism, Hargrove successfully co-sponsored a resolution calling on Virginia to celebrate "Juneteenth," a holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States.

My book of Poetry
HEY FAM AND FRIENDS....I've decided to release my book of poetry in HARD COPY...below is a excerpt from the book you can purchase a copy by clicking this link: www.themaatseries.com/custom4.html
When Lisa Smiles
arduously reminded, I back in time
canvassing the shifting, blistering moments
suspended, tormenting still, one’s mind
crooked days brewing desire, irony interwoven
love adoration in closed, unjustly forsaken
often in thou’s name I angle myself
envisioning what and where your are, perilously taken
unremitting those days offer deceiving wealth
even aton leaves me unabsolved
say what you will protest ! grimace in pain
profusely my heart bleeds pulsating unresolved
thusly, bitter sweetly I meekly speak her name
from the cradle to the grave I’ve known her smile
slowly killing me all the while
What's so FUNNY about all this is...
Neither Hillary NOR Obama can win in 08' Maybe It's Just Me who sees this..but if Kerrey couldn't beat Bush...how can either these two win?
UMMMMMMMM
I ((really)) LIKE Ellen and her show ((even tho i don't get to see it that much)) but who's to say she's the new 'IT' Girl? what EXACTLY does that mean anyway?? The Media KILLS me with who it DEEMS as 'it' or 'in' ....it's all BULL and a way to sell mags, rags , tv shows, newspapers and so forth........smh

Black History Quote Of The Day...
Love this sista and this quote sums up MY thoughts EXACTLY:
'Of course I’m a black writer. . . . I’m not just a black writer, but categories like black writer, woman writer and Latin American writer aren’t marginal anymore. We have to acknowledge that the thing we call “literature” is more pluralistic now, just as society ought to be. The melting pot never worked. We ought to be able to accept on equal terms everybody from the Hasidim to Walter Lippmann, from the Rastafarians to Ralph Bunche. '
