Otis Redding-Pain in My Heart The Red Brick House




The time period was the mid Sixties. We were taught to be proud of the new red brick "home" , my "parents" just purchased in Savoy Heights.  A new housing development just  for "negros" that "Qualified".
Brick! One and a half baths, three tiny bedrooms. No garage, not even a carport. Central air wasn't a thing, then. We did have Central heat.  For some reason the the Washer /Dryer had to be outside! It was totally ridiculous. Every time you needed to wash clothes, you had to go outside...to a Storage room!
Why did those "two" agree to buy it? What was the rush? ****** was on his way to Viet Nam and mjw was "chopping at the bit". The old closet Nymp was tired of playing lame ass, married house wife.

The absolute saddest fact is; it is true, We were Blessed! The white man in Fayetteville, North Carolina, in the Sixties, had his whole , total foot,  up a nigger's ass.
Shit! "It is what IT is!" Most people treat all POC (people of color) like SHIT!
IT is not just a Habit, IT is so normalized, you shall be Salivated if complaining, ever,  simply crosses your mind.
Not only are We treated like Palestinians , We better not complain. "And yo'bed NOT say SHIT!" "Dry 'dem fucking tears!" "The mo'you cry the less you piss."
However, I'm BEAMING! Grateful! Engulf in Grace and Mercy!

THE RASCALS - GROOVIN ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON.wmv

AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME!  When I tell you, Dear Children; "GOD is Good all the time! All the time GOD is good!" That is real, that is Not just what I've been taught. I have lived it, my entire life.  I know it for myself! Please understand, that statement doesn't mean you shall not have struggle , your whole life. It merely means, no matter what,  old lying, envious, jealous evildoers,  throw at you, The HOLY SPIRIT  shall deliver you.  All you have to do is ask. No, you don't have to be a "good person" or a "Christian in good standing", in order to be delivered from the clutches of your many enemies, seen and unseen.  By "good person" I mean,  what this World means; you go way out of your way to prove to the preying eyes of the public, to the "wo/men" in charge,  how perfect you are.  You follow ALL of the rules. You shall never disappoint your oppressors by actually thinking for yourself. You love impressing your oppress...

Can you BEAM, Pimp, Strut and REJOICE all at the same time?

Yes,  you can if you are me. Praise the LORD! Thank You for Your BACKFIRE! My mongrel, maggot, manipulative, demon possessed birther is yet rotting in a tiny scrap of earth , in Spring Lake, North Carolina.  Just as happy as a dead contented coon can be.  A nice plot in a “white cemetery “ , according to her ignorant, “Diamond and Silk” coon ass. My grandfather, Jerome Walters, the only one that truly deserves honor, is somewhere resting in a place evildoers , like his horrid daughter,  can’t touch. On the banks of the Cape Fear river away from this madness. No, his grave is unkempt, overgrown, unmarked. ( Just hold on a little while longer.) Miserable, jealous, envious, vacuous and corrupt, s/he threw him away, the same as s/he did us. If Martha Jane Walters could not use you for sexual gratification, sadistic supply , ridicule, or financial gain, you were going to be gone. No one prettier, smarter, or had fifty more dollars , was allowed around that malig...

Gil Scott Heron- Angel Dust BEAMING!!!

THIS is the song that was "Bumping" , really blasting from my first floor apartment on Camp Creek Parkway, in College Park, Georgia around 1977. I was extremely puzzled, confused.  I was not in the habit of leaving my music on while I worked as a Middle School teacher in Sandy Springs. Yes, my commute was long, over thirty miles one way. Worse, no matter the time of day, 285 ; The Deathway Perimiter was going to be congested, bumper to bumper. So bored, so young, so carefree, I smoked a joint, laughed and flirted with the Long Distance truck drivers I jocked with for at least an hour and a half, each day, each way. Stop, go, puff puff! Was I happy? Hell YES! Did I (falsely) believe the perfume I splashed on my hands , and face concealed my little "practice"? Evidently I did, or I just didn't care.  Not only that, I carried a PISTOL! (I lived in the 'Hood, alone. "Carrying" was Common Sense! The fact I never committed one homicide , when , to this d...
