I'm working on how to express my thoughts on the 20+ year old controversy where his statue was added to the mall of shame, the white supremacy gallery of "heroes" in Richmond. It was a big thing. Some said a black needed to be represented on monument alley. Others claimed he was just a tennis … Continue reading Arthur Ashe

Hate…
Can't survive if you beat it to death. Resist
Mad as Hell
Blood. Blood in the streets. I want to follow-up my words from the Boston Globe and here on my blog. I will tolerate no Nazis, no hate, no KKK. Yeah. Intolerance. I'm intolerant of hate. Steve Bannon. Donald Trump. Motherfuckers all. And cowards. They will incite, but never show. So? #fucktrump Meet me in the … Continue reading Mad as Hell
My Candidacy
I want to announce today that I will NOT be a candidate for president in 2020. I'm rejecting the call of the "Draft David" campaign's attempt to get me to run. (OK, the idea is mostly delusional on my part, but I think one guy wants me to run, but he's here on a visa … Continue reading My Candidacy

I was published today, the last letter. Resist http://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/letters/2017/08/16/divide-dyed-into-american-fabric/6nJZSDIijkOiBRFeP7fqOM/story.html

My personal achievements became my team's achievements." - William Felton "Bill" Russell Perhaps not. I don't … Continue reading Bill Russell
There is Already Enough Hate
Enough, more than enough hate in this world. We need a president who creates a safer, better world, not one who thrives on, endorses, and creates hate. So... I just signed the petition, “Allow Transgender People Into the U.S. Military.” I think this is important. Will you sign it too? I encourage you to sign … Continue reading There is Already Enough Hate
Transparency
Hey #fucktrump: The Fake News is becoming more and more dishonest! Even a dinner arranged for top 20 leaders in Germany is made to look sinister! I don't care who you meet with. I care that you, our president, tell us the truth. I care about disclosure. I care about the image this creates, of … Continue reading Transparency
Two Truths and a Lie
I thought about challenging @realDonaldTrump to play, but I'm not sure he knows the difference. Resist
To @realDonaldTrump
The coward still hasn't responded to my challenge to debate. Guess @realDonaldTrump is too dumb to reply. Or perhaps too challenged to do more than sexually abuse women. Just waiting for our national embarrassment to end. Resist #realDonaldTrump
