Did GA Parole Board Deny Williams Base On Unsolved Atlanta Missing and Murdered Children Cases?

19/12/03 at 8.29am   /   by Michael   /   0 Comment

Wayne Williams never stood trial for the murder of 20 Black adolescence who went missing and murdered in Atlanta, Georgia, between 1979 and 1981. No person has ever been tried for the most massive serial killings to occur in Atlanta in history. The wheels of justice in 1982, based on the personal belief of the prosecutor, made sure the State of Georgia would never have to prove their prime suspect was guilty of the murder of these Black children. Nevertheless, one wonders if the Georgia Pardon and Parole Board determined in its collective mind that Williams was guilty of these

The Orgasmic Presidency of Don "Juan" Trump

19/12/03 at 4.59am   /   by Michael   /   0 Comment

You expect lewd and lascivious acts from Donald J. Trump, and you usually get them. When you think that Trump has fallen below the lowest common denominator, out of thin air comes the point you feel cannot be matched, even by Trump himself. At a weekend campaign rally in October with a few thousand of his cultlike followers, Trump stooped to perhaps his lowest level. Lower even than his crude, crusty talk about grabbing women in their panties, “cause they like you to do it.” Smaller than mocking a reporter with Down Syndrome, lower than whining about John McCain, while

Dems Fail, Trump Wins 2020 Re-election

19/12/03 at 4.29am   /   by Michael   /   0 Comment

Trump repeats. It’s November 3, 2020, and yes, you read the headline on your social media feed right. Donald J. Trump did it again. He won re-election for President. Just four years ago, he stunned the political world, winning the American Presidency over former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. She was perhaps the most qualified person and the first woman nominee of a major political party ever to seek the office of President. Shaking your head, you do a double-take. How in American politics did Trump win not one, but two improbable runs for President? How could the Democrats

Both Mason Randolph and Myles Garrett Should Get Same Punishment

19/11/16 at 5.41am   /   by Michael   /   0 Comment

Although the rules of the game today have taken a great deal of the aggression off the field, football remains a violent sport. The guys in the trenches, the gladiator, are bigger and stronger than those playing the skilled positions. Inevitably, there are disagreements between the gladiators and the smaller offensive players. When they clash, the “root for the underdog” American ethos kicks in and comes to the aid of the skilled player over the so-called “brut.” The immediate outcry is that the colossal football player deserves condemnation. It is easy to come to this conclusion. The actions of the

School Integrators Unsung Heroes No More, of Sorts

19/10/23 at 9.04pm   /   by Michael   /   0 Comment

One year ago, this month, three of my high school friends, and I decided it was time to come from the shadows and discuss our role in integrating the Lanier Jr. High School for Boys in Macon, Georgia, during the 1965-66 school year. Our feat had gone unnoted then, and mostly unnoticed in the intervening 55 years. Our research found no mention of our efforts in the local newspapers, but we did discover an article written a few years ago, extolling the opening of Central High School (formerly Lanier Sr. High School) in 1970 as the beginning of integrated public-school

Reclaiming My Time AS Another Birthday Arrives

19/10/16 at 2.26am   /   by Michael   /   0 Comment

It’s 1:00 am. I’m up early for the start of another day. There is nothing new about this routine. Usually, my day starts around 2:00 am with my fingers running across the keyboards of my desktop. I will write until around 5:30 am, then take a nap and arise again around 7:00 am and run through the routine of dealing with people who sleep through the night. Perhaps, the only difference about this day is that the calendar on my desk says it is October 16, 2019. It seems that just a few days ago it was October 16, 2018.

Joshua Brown’s Murder Spin Maybe Adding Up to Fake News?

19/10/09 at 5.34am   /   by Michael   /   0 Comment

How does a young man go from being a scared, sacred, and shy witness against a police officer one week and a bold, brutal, and brazen marijuana dealer the next week? How many pot distribution centers did the men from Alexandria, Louisiana drive pass on their way to Dallas, Texas? How could there have been a gun battle which killed one person and severely injured another one, and there is not one media report over the weekend of gun-battle injuries related to the death of Joshua Brown? If the Dallas Police coordinated with the medical center to keep news of

Finding A Diamond in the Rough at HBCU Baseball Showcase

19/10/06 at 10.54pm   /   by Michael   /   0 Comment

“Chip” Lawrence, National Cross-Checker for the San Diego Padres, hung up his baseball cleats 20 years ago after a career in minor league baseball and began scouting professionally. Like any red-blooded American baseball player, he knew he wanted to stay in the game beyond his playing days and help other youngsters find success in college and possibly a career in baseball. “There are so many jobs in baseball other than on the field,” Lawrence said, taking a break from the HBCU/All College  Baseball Showcase he brings to Atlanta each year to introduce Black baseball players to college coaches from the
