The Chameleons Chameleons are creatures that change their colors to fit in with their environment. However, the environment does not change color to fit in with the chameleon. There are human ones too. You know them. Chameleons are everywhere. In families, at jobs, at church, at the park, they frequent all of these places.  WebstersContinue reading “The Chameleons”

The House Next Door The house next door was occupied by people that were lost.  They had no respect for others in the neighborhood.  They disturbed the peace, argued, played their music loud, failed to communicate with neighbors in a positive way, and often spewed profanities when called on their bad behavior.  I do notContinue reading “The House Next Door”

Mind Your Business In my day-to-day activities, I often encounter people that try to tell me how to handle my business.  The problem is they cannot handle their own business.  Nothing of what they say is fact-based.  It s ok to learn from your mistakes.  However, why would you tell me how I need toContinue reading “Mind Your Business”

Affirmative Action is Gone The Supreme Court just set limits on the use of race in college admissions.  Many in the baby boomer generation benefitted from affirmative action at a time when people of color were unjustly discriminated against (and are still facing discrimination). People of color fought, went to jail and some even diedContinue reading “Affirmative Action is Gone !”

Paper Genocide I heard the co-host of the view; Sunny Hostin use the term “paper genocide.” She then elaborated on the term as the banning and removal of Black history books and books by Black authors.
