The lost art of the tv show theme song. Think about it, in 1972 Donny Hathaway sang the theme song to ‘Maude.’ Donny Hathaway.

On another note, ‘Good Times’ (another show with a classic theme song) is a spin-off of ‘Maude.’ This show is where we meet James and Florida Evens.
Like I said, the theme song to ‘Good Times’ was an absolute classic.
The theme song to ‘Sanford and Son’ was produced by Quincy Jones.
We can’t forget the theme to ‘The Jefferson’s’ (which is a spin-off from ‘All in the Family’). ‘The Jefferson’s’ theme song was sang by Ja’Net Du Boise, who happened to play Willona Woods on ‘Good Times.’
The musicianship that went into the production of the theme song to ‘Alice’ is enough to make it into this conversation.

“Who the biggest terrorist
Who change the bible
Who killed the most people
Who do the most evil
Who don't worry about survival
Who have the colonies
Who stole the most land
Who rule the world
Who say they good but only do evil
Who the biggest executioner
Who? Who? Who?”
“Who overthrew Nkrumah, Bishop, Who poison Robeson, who try to put DuBois in Jail
Who frame Rap Jamil al Amin, Who frame the Rosenbergs, Garvey,
The Scottsboro Boys, The Hollywood Ten…”
“Who invaded Grenada
Who made money from apartheid
Who keep the Irish a colony
Who overthrow Chile and Nicaragua later
Who killed David Sibeko, Chris Hani, the same ones who killed Biko, Cabral, Neruda, Allende, Che Guevara, Sandino…”

2 days ago ESPN produced a segment called ‘Caitlin Clark: Queen of Clap Backs 👑’. The focus; her clapping, “You’re down 15 points. Shut up,” and of course the “you can’t see me” hand wave.

Her “trash talk” was embraced and celebrated. It wasn’t stigmatized and pathologized.
Let’s be very clear, I’m here for talkin’ shit on the hoop court, in the immortal words of Chazz Michael Michaels, “It’s provocative. It gets the people going.” So this really isn’t about Clark. It’s about people who hypocritically have double standards highly predicted on race.
This is about prominent personalities calling Angel Reese “a piece of shit” and a “fucking idiot.” These white men by name are Kieth Olbermann and Dave Portnoy.

This is the most carceral ass Safeway I’ve ever been in. Bars everywhere, multiple security guards, you have to scan your receipt for the gate to open in order to exit, and if you don’t buy anything an employee has to open the gate to let you out.
Keep in mind, this is in an “expensive” neighborhood. I can only imagine how grimy it’s about to when they bring the Safeway Prison Program to “the hood.”
Safeway, I haven’t forgotten about who the real criminal is. Image

People think that white supremacism is exclusively couched in a person (Trump) or a group of people (Proud Boys). They think that November 3rd is the battle to end white supremacism. Those people don’t understand white supremacism and they don’t understand America.
White supremacism is the blood of capitalism, militarism, and American imperialism. It is the air filling the lungs of that this Union upholds, fights for, and oppresses us under until we can’t breathe.
Understand the systemicness of white supremacism. Defeating Trumpism with Liberalism doesn’t abolish white supremacism. Both isms are rooted in, and driven by the maintenance of upholding white institutional control, dominance, and expansion. This is about WHO controls it.

So I was driving down the street... Image
While driving, I noticed a train of cars with giant American flags, misquoted MLK posters, and, “No on Prop 16,” all over the cars.

If approved by by voters , Prop. 16 would reinstate Af­fir­mative Action in California.

Plot twist...Everyone in the cars were Asian-American.
If you are going to vote, or if you are exercising your rights to not vote, please understand what is going on within your state, county, and local city. Don’t just get struck in the “lesser of two evils” lane to occupy the head seat at the table of that sh*t show in DC.

What’s the WORST movie you have ever seen?
I’m reading y’all’s answers...I know I got y’all beat on this one😂.
I saw this movie around a decade ago. I have no idea how it ended up on tv, nor do I remember what channel I was watching, but’Hot Bubblegum’ is pound for pound THE WORST MOVIE EVER MADE! The story. The acting. The English overdubs...it is unmatched in its trash-ness! Image
