The Christmas Gift

It’s that time of the year again.. Gifts being wrapped and bagged. Kids excited, adults having grown-up parties and the spirits are freely flowing, and no I’m not talking about of the ghostly kind, LOL.. But it’s also a very difficult time of the year for some. For one reason or another there are those out there who suffer this time of the year. Lost loved ones, financial strain, depression and the list goes on.

This holiday season we always see social media light up with the parties and festivities folks are attending and the joy that is being brought to those who are caught up in the holiday spirit. But, I just want to make sure folks remember to take some time to really talk to those you love and to spend some real quality time with your family and your friends. This world can be very cruel and you never know what’s lying behind a smile or laugh. There can be pain and sadness unmesurable.

People drive them selves into debt trying to buy what they can’t say sometimes. They spend money that they know they really don’t have because they want someone they love to feel loved and experience the commercial gift of Christmas. However, lets remember what Christmas should be about first and then what we make it second. This is about giving thanks for Christ’s birth. Being thankful for being here and able to share it, hopefully, with the one(s) you love.

It’s about giving yourself and your time to those less fortunate and being happy to do so because you’re not on the end of the needy. I wish every one has the moment to step back from it and just give Thanks to be able to apart of the holiday hustle and bustle. You could not be here or you could have no one to share it with. Times like these I like to just sit back and listen to the Christmas music and watch the bright, vibrant faces and smile. Because I know someone’s day will be made by the gifts under the tree and some just because they get to see someone they normally don’t.

But remember it’s not all about giving all of your money to please those you love. Sometimes the best gifts are smaller in monetary value but big on sentimental value. Because if you been diligent all year you’ve given and shown your love from January to now and this just puts the icing on the cake. And sometimes a gift from the heart just sticks with you a lot longer too.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah and Kwanza to all!

Fitted clothes..you gay???

Funny title right? But what I’m finding more often is that soo many women now a days and some men have this ignorant opinion that just because a man chooses to wear his clothes fitted to his body and don’t sag below his ass that must instantly be gay. I think that this has be another of the dumb ass stereotypes being applied to men, mostly Black men, in America because nobody wants to accept that we all have different ideas of style and fashion and that everybody don’t wanna look like a thug, or jail bait..LOL

The latest online banter was about August Alsina and his wardrobe overhaul. He has decided that the fitted look is in for him and the thug look is out. And the hounds were quick to say that he must be gay because he went to the more slim and trim look, that shows off the physique and not how low ya pants can drop. Did any of these idiots stop to realize that in the business world, Black people don’t own a lot of shit? Do we realize that white folks are still in control of a lot of the businesses and they don’t really favor the urban, thug look. They tend to favor the more fitted, business attire.

Let me be clear.. I can show you a hundred gays and of those there may be half who dress alike and the other half each will be drastically different. We are not a group of people that you can group together or paint with a broad brush. We aren’t able to be lumped into one category based upon anything that we do. So I really hope some of these stupid ass females who want to label a straight man gay because he chooses to be more professional because he’s trying to promote himself, which is his brand, will realize a smart man knows what to do.

It truly blows my mind to think that we still operate in a society where clothes are still defining what your sexual preference is and how much sex you have determines if you are gay or not. I’m just not sure when did we get to the place where these are the barometers for gay vs straight. When did having color in your hair automatically make you gay or straight. Make you a top or bottom?

All of these things that I mention tie into the fitted clothes stereotype. I am at that place where I need people to understand that you need to let people be themselves. Let the expressiveness be just that. Why are we such a judgmental group of people? Why are Black folks so anxious to label each other as one thing or the other? Why do women keep saying that there are no real men left because you can’t distinguish gay or straight because we both like to dress similarly to each other?

The problem in our culture is that all we care to do is make people equal to us. We want to say that if we do something a certain way then if someone doesn’t they must be labeled some type of black sheep or odd ball. Once we finally realize that the uniqueness of each of us makes us a very special community, we will be so much better.

Black people, stop tryna to define a nigga by what he wears or how he speaks. Stop tryna define a prep or urban boy because he wears fitted clothes. Truth is I know a lot of preppy boys who are athletes and musicians. I know a few niggas who are politics and educational type things. We are one people, split by different views and outlooks on life. Live free, be real and stop worrying about who wears what clothes.

Finally Something New

I will freely admit that I am man who loves the male soap’s that is WWE Wrestling. While my loyalty to this brand has been tested over the past couple of years because of stale writing, predictable storylines, horrible character build-up, mismanagement of talent and other reasons, I must say that FINALLY last night WWE mixed it up and got it right!

If you’ve been watching over the past year and a half or so, The Shield has been torn apart and each of these wrestlers have embarked upon singles careers that were at different heights. Seth Rollins made the biggest leap, by becoming a heel and joining the Authority, first to become the World Heavyweight Champion and carry the banner for the company. But Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose were not to be left behind. Both men were in the Championship title picture and Roman was getting an enormous push from the company.

Only problem with that was, nobody really knew how dynamic Reigns could be or if he had the mike skills to be the top dog of the company. These questions didn’t exist for Rollins and Ambrose because as smaller wrestlers, they had to go out night after night and lay it all on the line. Reigns is more of the thoroughbred that WWE loves and could destroy people at will. Well, unfortunately the WWE Universe realized this and they didn’t take to kindly to Roman’s quick ascension.

WWE was still living in the John Cena era and were really failing and properly packaging, advertising and pushing the Samoan Warrior. Despite big league promos from his cousin, The Rock, Roman still struggled to get over with the people. That is until WWE started to truly invest in Reigns and let him show his natural ability and a few of his one-liners on the mike. Last night was truly the culmination of all of this hard work and they couldn’t have chosen a better running mate to put him over than the boss himself..Vincent Kennedy Mcmahon.

Say what you want about Vinnie Mac, one thing you must give him credit for is that he knows how to put a superstar over and get the crowd behind him; and boy did it work! The buildup to the title match, the belt versus career hype. All of it was what WWE use to be known for. Vince cheating as he use to do to Stone Cold and others. The deck stacked, the heels brothern rushing to try and save him. The challenger fighting with all his might to overcome the odds and win the gold and save his “career”.

If you’ve watched as of late you thought you might have known what the outcome was gonna be based on history. Reigns loses and is “fired” only to get reinstated and get vindication. But damn it they finally did the twist that every one was hoping would happen. Finally the title switched hands on television and not just on Pay Per View. Finally they put the title on Reigns after the buildup hit a peak last night.

Vince didn’t screw Roman, Roman fucked the Mcmahon family last night and it was awesome. His actions at the Pay Per View Sunday and his performance last night won a lot of fans over and now.. maybe, just maybe Reigns can take his place and the support of the crowd. It was a great finish to the match and I was so happy that this was the ending. I stayed up glued to the t.v. eating up every bit of the match. I was hanging on every inch and this really felt like old school Raw. Good guy has the deck stacked and the Villain thinks he’s gonna win but the good guy finds a way.

I don’t know how this will play out over the next few weeks and months but if the company can continue to write with a twist up and down their wrestling card the company might can pull out of the ratings dumb they’ve been in over the past few months. Time will tell but damn it I was excited to see that ending last night.

Sports Media Hyprocracy

I will be completely honest and say that I love the Dallas Cowboys. They have been my favorite football team since I began watching Professional football. No, I don’t care that they’ve struggled off and on the past decade I don’t and won’t turn on my team. I know that we’ve had a dumb ass GM (The Owner) but there have been some really smart football moves made for this football team over the past few years. To not acknowledge that, even for the most ardent hater of the Cowboys, is to say that you really don’t know football you just want to hate a franchise.

Now all that said lets talk about this lunacy that I heard yesterday on t.v. and what’s been generally considered the consensus among sports pundits about Jerry Jones’s recent comments about his coaches and the amount of losses the team had while Tony Romo was out of action the first time with an injury.

Jerry said that we was completely dissatisfied with the job his coaches did in the seven games Romo  missed earlier in the season and that he didn’t understand how his team didn’t win any games while Tony was out. That makes perfect sense to me. As a Cowboys fan I was truly pissed to watch them find a way to blow games late in the fourth quarter after playing well. Look at the Falcons game, the Seahawks game, the Bucs game. Those three games alone, the Cowboys were leading in the fourth quarter and late in the fourth in two of those games, only to lose all three.

Dallas found ways to give games away when they were there to be won. So while that exciting end of game win over Washington kept them in the picture, the reality is they should be leading this division. Look at the second Giants game as well. They were in all these games and couldn’t find a way to get the W. And Jerry was right, that win Monday night was not because the Cowboys out coached Washington, it was because that team refused to quit.

Now I will give head coach Jason Garrett credit for that because it takes the right mindset instilled by your head coach to never quit when things never seem to go your way. But Jones was right, this staff should and could have done a much better job to get W’s on the board in earlier games. Imagine if they had closed out the Tampa, Seattle and Giants game. Instead of being 4-8, they would be 7-5 two games up in the division and looking to put it away down the stretch.

Reference my first paragraph, I don’t agree with a lot of what Jerry Jones has done or said since 1996 as the General Manager of the Dallas Cowboys, but I don’t get these Media slobs. When Jerry says his team is the best in the league and they should win, they say he’s crazy and you can’t take him seriously. When he makes bone head moves you tell him to fire himself. But when he has a solid and sensible draft and makes good football decisions you give a little pat and quickly pivot to the past.

When he tells the truth about his coaches the suck ass job they did in game preparation and execution, the Media says Jones doesn’t know what he’s talking about. But you let ESPN Analysts or Fox Analysts critique the team and they would say the same thing. Sometimes you just have to give the devil his due. Jerry Jones, for once, took a step back after a big win and admitted the truth: This team should not have lost all seven games without Romo. They should have been at worst 4-3 and most likely 5-2. The Carolina and New England games were the only two where they really had no chance.

Be real out there and give him his credit, Jerry may actually be wising up a little…Or maybe Stephen is actually, finally putting his imprint on this franchise and it’s noticeable. Hope it continues.. Go Cowboys!!!

The Red Ribbon

I hope that after I speak about this today that there will be further dialog around tables and parks. In homes and just out in the street. There needs to be more talk about HIV/AIDS in this country. While there have been some major breakthroughs and medicines that help to stymie the virus and not destroy your internal organs at the same time, there is still the problem of too many Africans Americans, humans in general, and especially Gay men and women being infected with this virus daily, monthly and yearly.

While there is now PreP medicine that is taken by folks to prevent themselves from getting the virus, there is still the need to tell folks to be aware that there are still other sexually transmitted infections that can take you out, and at the very least make life uncomfortable for you for a while. We need to understand that there are still millions of people dying from this illness and that there are some great discoveries in medicine that have found potential cures for this disease.

As it is known I don’t have a problem with someone saying that they like having sex. Or with anyone who says they like having sex with multiple people. I have always said that’s your personal choice and it’s your right to live your life however you feel. But, what I will also tell you is that there needs to be accountability and a smartness about who you choose to lay down with. That dick or ass or pussy might be everything and you might skeet for the high heavens, but, after that nut is over are you ready for the possible consequences?

Lets be real about the situation too, raw sex has been happening since the world was created and evolved. How the hell do you think we all got here? It ain’t cause our ancestors and parents practiced wrapping it up all the damn time. In fact , it was the opposite. Back in the day there use to be women who had lots of children and proudly so because that meant their legacies were guaranteed to be carried on. Now days there are fewer women having lots of kids. We have become more modest even though our population is booming out of control.

I say all of that to say I’m not about the holier than though talk that says you should always wrap up no matter what unless you’re married. That is the ideal situation and that’s what we all hope would happen. Truth is people today are having sex at younger and younger ages; they’re having babies early and getting STI’s at really rapid rates. HIV is something we can control because we can say yes or no to fucking or getting fucked by someone.

If you keep up with lightly reported stories you will know that there are whispers and indications that there is a cure. That more traditional and holistic doctors are finding treatments that not only destroy or significantly minimize the virus, but also protect the body in the process. I hope this post starts a dialog somewhere and if I feel the need to revisit it again, if you’ve read any of my material you know that I will.

Take care of yourself America

The Christmas Miracle

I went to the movies this past weekend and saw Krampus. Now before I get into the movie I want to say that this time of the year is without a doubt my favorite time of the year. I love the holiday season. The time that folks get to spend with their loves ones and the smiles that you see across folks faces. It just seems to be that when the calendar turns to November and December people get just a little bit nicer and treat each other just a little bit better.

Given that first paragraph, I also know that this time of the year is extremely hard for some. They may have lost loved ones this time of the year or their loved ones aren’t around anymore to share these beautiful moments with. It could also be that they have to work a lot or just don’t have anyone to spend the holidays with. Could also be that money is funny and you can’t really buy anyone anything, so this time of the year is a drag when you see all the commercials about buying things for the holiday to show your love.

I am on the record many times for saying that I feel that Thanksgiving gets massively overlooked because there isn’t a retail pitch to be made aside from spending money on food to fix for your family and friends. Christmas gets all the pub because there is commercial value there. Gifts galore and spend, spend, spend. Sometimes we forget that this time of the year is meant to give thanks and spend that quality times with those that you love and cherish the most.

Sometimes I think if we remembered that the gift of Christmas is having people to spend it with that love you and appreciate you whether you can afford to buy them gifts or not.

If you see this movie Krampus, one of the messages you will take away is the power of the belief of the Christmas magic. Santa Clause and the Elves and just the holiday magic itself. You believe that this time of year allows for you to put aside you petty differences and believe in the power of the spirit and the coming together so celebrate and enjoy the company of one another.

Those movie plays on the fact that kids are the precious angels that protect Christmas and the miracle that encompasses it. That when you spoil it too soon for them and you take away that belief and magic, that the “evil” of Christmas will display. That is, that we forget why we are coming together and we focus on the things that separate us rather than what binds us together.

Children, families, individuals are the pulse behind Christmas. Seeing your child run to the tree and open all their presents. Having that Christmas party where everyone is laughing and dancing, playing games and just getting lost in the moment. Making those lasting memories that when you’re apart you can think back to, look back at and smile because you created something that will last forever.

Folks that’s the Christmas miracle. Giving your time, energy or money to those less fortunate who can’t afford what you can. Letting others know that even though they may feel forgotten, you remember them. The power is inside each and everyone of us. What we do with it and how we use it is makes the season great every year. So come on folks take some time to laugh and play. Sing some songs, give some gifts and most of all share your Christmas spirit, because that’s how you will keep the Christmas Miracle going for decades and decades.

Happy Holidays America

 

My First Time

The kinda person I am, I try not to be very hypocritical with what I say when advising people in comparison to what I’ve done. Let me talk a lil about this subject in my heading. As it is not a secret I’m gay. But before I came out a long time ago, HEHE, I did have sex with a female too.. Or should I say multiple females.

I remember the first time I had sex with a girl and damn sure remember the first time I had sex with a dude. Both fucking and gettin’ fucked. I can remember that at the time it was everything and thinking back on it now, I still feel the same way. While there are times I wished that I would have waited longer before my first sexual rendezvous with a dude, I was glad I got it out the way when I did, because it honestly allowed me to be free to explore sex and determine what I liked and what I didn’t like.

Now that I have been in the role of “Father” for the past decade, I don’t have conversations with my kids or those I’ve mentored over the years where I tell them not to have sex or to hold it until they find that magical someone to be their first. Reason being: that is not a true reality as much anymore. Teenagers are horny and experimentative and want to experience the acts of sex because of what they see on Porn and hear from their friends who are sexually active.

Especially in the gay community, losing your virginity has become a novelty thing and not so much a trophy to hang on to and a trophy to cherish when the nigga takes it. We are now in an age where sex is just that sex. And folks want to have the experience of different partners, different sizes(length and width) and also different roles. Tops try to bottom and vice versa. I personally think it’s a very smart thing to do because you have to know what you like and what you don’t like.

Those who hold those traditional preaching of holding out for that special someone, I respect where you come from, why you feel that way and the thought that goes into that advice. But, the truth is if you didn’t practice that and you came out fine, don’t try to make someone go down a path that you yourself chose not go follow. Everyone is different and should be allowed to decide when they wanna give it up and who they wanna give it up to.

Some people just love sex from any early age and never grow out of it. Some love it early and as they grow older slow down so they can have something meaningful and make sure their dick and ass ain’t worn out or infected. Some do it in reverse. Lite sex early but lots of it later on. I think that all of these options and all options in between make sense and should be explored until you find what works for you.

As for me, well let’s just say I’ve had my fare share of experiences and I know what I like and what I don’t. But, let me also say that having sex with one person, and it being passionate and amazing is damn fun and pleasurable. I wonder what folks think about this? What was  your first time like? What was your sex life like? Did you grow out of wanting sex all the time? Did you not want earlier in your life but as you got into your 20’s and 30’s did it pick up? Did you stay a low key sex person? Are you an undercover freak?

Speak to me people. Lets talk

The Jordan Effect

Funny thing happened yesterday, Nike decided to give a lifetime  contract, worth more than $500 million dollars to LeBron James. Listen, while the rest of America is trying to figure out they can their wages to increase even 5%, this cat just got a deal that will pay him more money than 85% of Americans will ever make.

Can we not stop and take stock of that for a second? I’m all for Capitalism and spending your dollars to promote your brand, but damn is he really worth that kind of money? Then I have to remember that the other superstars of this era have signed enormous contracts in that general ball park over the past  offseason or two.

LeBron, KD,  Big Game James and others you can thank one man for those kinds of deals on shoes.. Michael Jordan. Yes, the king of the court was really the man who set the explosion of shoe companies trying to grab players and give them these max deals. He was the man who made  brand and has kept that brand popular, relevant and extremely profitable for the past 30 years.

Yes, think about that for a minute. Since 1984 His Royal Airness has been making shoes that have made people go crazy for three decades and there appears to be no slowing down of folks buying his shoes. He even has Russell Westbrook and Chris Paul in their own customized Jordan shoes. How much of a mogul and smart businessman must he and his people be?

He owned an NBA franchise, continues to have a partnership with a company that makes him money hand over fist and in my mind, someday will be the face of the NBA with his moniker being the NBA logo. Michael was the revolutionary for basketball.

Yes, there have been folks who helped to contribute to the popularity of basketball athletes, but there really can be no mistakes that from 1984 until his retirement in the 2000’s Michael Jordan was really the NBA. While others in the league made their namesake and built their legacies, he was cementing his and laying the foundation for his next chapter.

While he has yet to achieve the same success as an Owner and executive right now, I’m reminded back to when Jordan came into the league. Early in his career he could score better than anyone, but without the proper support system he was an early exit from the playoffs or a nonplayoff team all together. Once he got the right coach and cast he became the best in the game and the rest is history. I truly believe that he will figure it out and while he may not win 6 rings, he will win a few during his tenure.

You Prejudiced Bigot.. I mean Republican Presidential Candidate

You know I’ve had a few conversations over the past few weeks and months about this current crop of Presidential candidates on both sides of the aisle, but most importantly the Republican side; and definitely their policies, the lack thereof and their ungodly disdain for our President and the freedoms they claim to support.

Let me perfectly clear, I dislike everything about Donald Trump and every other Republican Presidential candidate, except John Kasich’s positions on Obamacare. I think that it’s quite annoying that all the media really wants to do is pump air into the Trump campaign. I know some may say that with this blog talking about him and getting others to read it that I’m propping up his candidacy as well. I say that your stupid if you think that.

I do no talk about him just to shine a light on him;  my efforts are to allow others to read and objectively and subjectively, LOL, understand that this man is playing the American public for a fool and if he is serious about running for President with these outlandish proposals and ideals as a candidate, this country is will in a world of hurt if he somehow finds a way to win.

I hope that we understand that the United States of a America is a nation of immigrants from all over the world. There is not a single person here who should be abdicating that we ban Muslims from entering this country because of one incident in America and the incident in Paris. I think anyone who is stupid enough to say you support Trump or agree with his proposal, you must be a bigot yourself, or you must not remember that your family is not “All American.”

What if another President said we will ban the Jewish people or the Asian community or ban Africans or Latinos from entering the United States. Lest we not forget that the individual who went on the killing rampage in Colorado just the week prior to the California massacre, was not a Muslim. He was an American who is Pro Life. Now don’t get me wrong. I love folks who are Pro Life, but lets make sure we understand that Pro Life doesn’t just apply to unborn babies. That applies to all of human life.

That means that when an individual or individuals shoot and kill innocent victims because of their beliefs, that is a violation of the Pro Life movement. That is an act of terrorism too. See we seem to only want to classify terrorism acts as those perpetrated by folks from foreign nations, nationalities or religions. How stupid can we be?

You want to know why we can’t truly defeat ISIL or ISIS? It’s because every time something like what happens in Colorado or Paris happens, ignorant ass Politicians and Candidates want to politicize the issue and make ridiculous, asinine statements like banning Muslims or calling a religion  Radical.

Why the fuck is that every time something happens that “supports” Republican mantras they run to the extreme? And the blowhards in the Republican media that want to support this foolishness are just as culpable for the race bating as the candidates promoting it. I want people to Google the statement Trump has made about other nationalities, religions and ethnicities.

He has called for all illegal immigrants to be returned to their countries. He called Mexicans rapists and criminals. He has called for a ban on Muslims into America. He has called for a rejection of all Syrian refugees trying to flee the daily war and violence in their nation. But, he won’t speak ill of the Americans who do dastardly deeds to other Americans in the name of their cause or more importantly, Trump’s and other candidates causes.

Ted Cruse is no different than Trump. His ignorant ass makes the same outlandish statements as Trump because they both want to use American fear to their advantage and ride it all the way to the White House. I hope that we realize that while we have had isolated incidents, as far as, terrorism is concerned, we have been protected from any further attacks on this country. Folks lets face it: President Barack Obama has kept this country safe, avoided sending troops into battle in mass and has rebuilt some key American alliances.

Is there more work to do? Yes. But has this man done his job? Damn right. I’m really sick of tall these hawkish Republican people who say that because the President didn’t have a scowl on his face or ignite a new war by saying he’s sending hundreds of thousands of troops back into the Middle East for a ground war and air war, that he doesn’t have a plan.

Lemme ask a question: When President 43 tried that approach what the fuck happened? I’ll wait…?? When Obama used his approach, we caught and killed top militant leaders and killed Bin Laden. Never forget Obama is the reason that happened, not Trump, Cruse or any other Republican.

How do you feel about the hot air given to Trump and not to the real candidates? What are your feelings on all of the stuff said and happening? Talk to me..

A Country At War

I know you think this post is about our fighting on foreign soil, but if that’s what you think.. Oh boy are you so damn wrong. I’m absolutely about to unload on the war on home soil and this will spare no rod.

Have you taken a look at what’s going on in our own backyard? Have you paid attention to the killing in the streets, by civilians and more importantly by law enforcement? Have you seen the mass murders taking place left and right in this country? Years ago we had the Newtown 26, where 26 children and school officials were killed in a mass murder.

Today, in California, we have the San Bernardino 14. Got damn it, what do we have to do in order to finally get these spineless, gutless, scared Politicians to do the damn job they were sent to Congress to do: Serve the people of the United States of America. My God, how many people have to run through the streets, cities and states of America with automatic weapons killing innocent Americans? How many damn times so we have to hear the bullshit line “Let us pray for the people affected” by Politicians so in bed with the NRA that they get fucked by them more than their spouses?

I’m so sick and damn tired of hearing Republicans speak that dumb shit about the reason these incidents take place is because they are no “no gun” zones. When the fuck will you ignorant ass people wake up and realize the reason this shit keeps happening is because there are too many fucking guns on the street? When will you realize that because we are so quick to vehemently defend gun rights, that we don’t take common sense steps to protect us from people who should not be buying guns?

Who the hell really believes that we need assault weapons in the hands of people who want to do harm to people, for whatever reason they come up with in their sick and twisted minds. We keep talking about how we need to take out ISIS and all this other shit, but we need to enact gun laws and change our ways of thinking in our society that says guns are the answer to the problem.

The freest country in the world is at war with itself because it can’t separate itself from a damn gun lobbyist that thinks if we try to remove unnecessary weapons off the streets and place sensible restrictions on who can get a gun, that somehow we are infringing on the rights of gun owners.

Damn it America get this partisan bullshit out of your head. Please realize this is not about Democrats or Republicans. This is not about Black or White, Gay or Straight. This is about America. A nation that’s suppose to pride itself on being the best but we can’t agree to take care of each other.

This is not about me railing against gun ownership, because truth is, I’m a liberal Democrat that is a supporter of an individuals right to own and carry a gun. But even saying that, I damn sure am in favor of stricter laws on who can get a gun and the background checks being needed before you can purchase a gun. America we need to band together because the time is now for us to say enough is enough.

How many times do we need to see mass shootings on t.v. before we get tired of seeing this shit? Who needs to die before there is action taken by the spineless politicians sitting in Washington D.C.? Will we ever say enough is enough damn it? Please America let’s join together with one voice and say no more. We need to stop saying it’s too soon to talk about this issue. We need to stop saying it’s not right to politicize this issue.

The honest truth is we have been too damn late for years but it’s never to late to make a change. The voice of the many need to be heard. No more silence. Let’s make sure these folks in D.C. know we won’t tolerate this anymore.
