Just to Be Funny

Yes they did it. They actually did this earlier this year and I'm just now seeing it. Now the ad man in me wants to find out the agency that currently owns this account.

American Aparthied

I'm moving through the first few chapters of this book for the second time and I want to share my thoughts. So far the book has talked about how segregation has played a major role in the plight of the urban underclass. It explains how the ghetto was created and maintained by white society as a way to keep blacks from advancing. Catch this, during The Great Migration there were federal and local efforts to keep blacks out of better neighborhods through redlining and home improvement associations. These were attempts to organize the community into sections based on financialy means. Correct me if I'm wrong but redlining, which classified the poorer areas as red that also happened to house the majority of black residents--was a way to keep bank money and development from taking place in black neigborhoods. The book talks about how although there has been an increase of black suburbans it does not compare with the grown of the ghetto. European ethnic ghettos were temporary and his...

Expounding and Imagining

 My last post was a bout a Center housed at my current church and imagining what that would offer.  I'm attempting to list out my thoughts and questions I'd like to address.  This is different. I'm thinking of the way I'd write songs and how was used to sitting down and piecing everything together at once.

Some songs came together better over time.  I bring all that up to give myself permission to not ideate everything all at once and be open to the process. I want to start with the Black Church.

I'd like to explore the Black Church in the Cambridge and Boston area.  How the history of Pentecostal Tabernacle and the role that it has played in the community.  With this church at present being a multicultural and multiethnic church, how did it get that way?

White Stole The Show

Breaking news last week was that Zeta Tau Alpha won the Sprite Step Off Competition receiving $100,000 to donate to scholarships for the chapter. After winning it was made public that after a scoring discrepancy between the first and second place winners has been identified the second place winners, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, would recieve the same amount. I'm blown by the controversy around it. I took some time and looked at the videos of each contestant that made it to the final round and to me it is clear why ZTA won. Those white girls stepped they tail off and represented from start to finish. Mind you, the video I linked you all to does not show full performances for the other frats but yo them chicks brought it. I don't read news stories as much as I do the comments. It is good to see those that agree with me but it's shocking how ignorant some people are. Of course the majority of the comments had to deal with race. I found a lot of comments about how stepping is ...
