It's Snowing...in Roanoke 2/19/12
Almost a half of foot. It's also Mardi Gras down on the Gulf Coast, where I may have been enjoying the festivities...Fat Tuesday is 2/21/12. However, I do get the benefit of watching some of the parades via video cam without the expense of travel.
I am also reminded of my earlier years as a kid growing up in Mobile and watching the bands as well as playing in one while at Most Pure Heart of Mary...I was a drummer. Most Pure Heart of Mary was a small, black Catholic high school, but the largest between New Orleans and Pensacola, FL.
If you really wanted to see a big Catholic band, making you proud to be a black Catholic, you went to witness the St. Augustine's Purple Knights in action. In Mobile, there was a dominant black high school band, Central High School, and people would have to back up giving them room to pass in their dynasty of being the main focus in the Mardi Gras parades in Mobile.
De-segregation closed down Central High School and busing was used to do it. Mind you, busing blacks out but never entertaining the idea of busing whites in...a subject for another time. Most Pure Heart of Mary High School, later referred to as HOM by alumni and alumnae, was discontinued with all Catholic students going to and graduating from McGill-Toolen, the white high school now integrating black Catholic students.
Nevertheless, the St. Augustine Marching 100 still represents that dynamic dynasty of black pride each year in New Orleans...take a look at the 2011 "Zulu" parade.

Lost in "Negroland"
Rather thought provoking one might even say...so what's the point? When I began my excursion into what was being taught by Mr. Elijah Muhammad, I had plenty of questions of which he was willing to answer, without strings as he said... for there was no compulsion to accept his teachings...fair enough, I said to him in a letter.
I heard some terms I had not heard before, saw some evidence in some of his predictions, and most convincing, was his calming reassurance that God was not pleased about the condition of this so-called American Negro.
Therefore, God had visited him in the person of Mr. W. F. Muhammad to give him a message to be delivered to what he referred to as the "lost-found American Negro" for his salvation.
Elijah boldly declared that God said that he, Elijah Muhammad, would be the last "Messenger" before impending consequences would be served in the destruction of the race...lost in Negroland.
One last prophecy that I was able to ascertain before his death:
"The works of all will be shown, for the judgement will test the quality of each man's work."
Why Blacks, Hispanics, and all other minorities should vote for RON PAUL
So far, what America and the rest of the world have witnessed is a Republican "cock fight" and if any of these chumps, other than Ron Paul wins, it shouldn't mean a tinker's damn in this "for white folks only" scrap.
These GOP's don't give a damn about anybody but their own kind "white folks" although Bachmann, Perry, Gingrich, and Santorum claimed they were so concerned about black unemployment, black family disintegration, and black poverty. That "sh*t" lasted about a hot minute, and now it's all but niggers, wetbacks, spics, chinks, and any other non-white American be damned. Paul's platform has always been about about liberty economically, which transcends into greater social adjustment across the nation.
This also translates into why Jews and big business are scared as hell that Paul is not nor will be concerned about their offshore wealth holdings via the military-corporate complex, nor financially trying to save the asses of all foreign allies, who are just milking us like Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and a handful of other mideastern operatives including Israel. As Mr. Elijah Muhammad might have said decades ago, it's time for these "theocracies" disguised as democracies to go for self.
Now, to Barack Obama, who's turned out to be a Democratic "hand puppet"...with his big bag of "hope hypocrisy" which has not done a damned thing for the average American, especially the average minority. Yet, he's raising tons of money from those he's cushioned during this virtual depression...big corporations, moguls, and his monkey-ass political supporters .
Consequently, black folks and other minorities had better get wise to this "bullsh*t game" of politics, and elect a man that might give you an economic chance to determine your destiny...otherwise, your monkey asses will be grass.
Your Options: Continue to be lost in Negroland (slavery and suffering), or develop a new, vibrant, and productive Black America (liberty and justice)...your time has run out!
The Three GOP Warhawks in the Arizona debate...What do they have in common?
1. They have absolutely no military exposure to war or military engagement resulting in loss of limbs and lives.
2. They have no living close relatives to go off to war and be exposed to deadly engagement on foreign soil.
3. They will have no close relatives who will have to entertain such engagement.
4. Frankly, they have never volunteered to wear a military uniform for one reason or another...politics or religion notwithstanding.
He's the only one that's a military veteran.
America being gored by more WS Bull
This represents the real reason why Ron Paul is feared. What Barack Obama has done is to continue for all practical purposes, a Republican agenda...rich get richer at the expense of the great middle class...with his "gimme" welfare programs to a now "beggar nation."
I dare say if Ron Paul takes the reins of the economy...the Dow will tumble to 1,300, unemployment will drop to less than 5%, and gasoline will be down to less than two dollars a gallon.
This scares the "bejesus" out of Wall Street, Big Government politicians, both Democrat and Republican, and the media cadre that promote this current chicanery.
