  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that.

Spontaneous Responses
I have reached a stage in my life where I don't have the luxury of "later."  The older I get, the more urgent my life becomes.  Not urgent in the sense that I am rushing around out of control.  But urgent in the sense that I can see the need for action in response to the world surrounding me.  I feel the necessity to speak my mind, and take action where I can make a difference.  This blog is a real-time account of my spontaneous responses to life in the 21st century.

I call myself a JOURNALIST UNLEASHED! After spending more than 25 years in the radio and television news business being "objective", I can now say what I really think and feel about what's going on in the world. I also describe myself as a “Baby Boomer Diva on the Move” who has a passion for God and family.
