JENNIFER AND JASON

Jennifer and Jason are watching a TV show, one of those competition shows that Jason always has an opinion on, "The judges have no talent " just rich douche bags, he says. She always agrees. 
      An ad comes on its one of the #imwithher ads,it says something about creating jobs or something she doesn't pay much attention anymore . You know she's not good for this country Jason begins, how do you mean ? She asks knowing fully what he was gonna say. "BENGHAZI " Jason continues. What about Benghazi ? She asks feigning ignorance . She knows that Jason knows as much about Benghazi as Lindsay Lohan does. She is a fucking liar and she killed some Americans, babe you know you should read the papers more he says . I see she responds. Jason does not know shit about Benghazi, probably doesn't know where it is or that it is a place. It's something he's just heard on the tele  . 
   He's just one of those people who feel they have to be heard,an actual stupid person if you had to categorize him. She told him a few months ago she liked Bernie Sanders and might vote for him and his response was "Bernie Sanders is a fucking HIPPIE" that was it. She asked him who he would vote for and he said no one then proceeded to rant about how the American government was the enemy and how every one was trying to bring down the country. Jason is a tall black man who wears sweaters,khakis and sandals even in the middle of the summer . He wore a pair of glasses he did not need , sat on the porch every morning with a newspaper he never read , Jennifer sometimes thought to herself that he really couldn't read. He believed in conspiracies ; the faked moon landing , Illuminati secretly ruling the world. Jennifer believed that if he was religious he would say Obama was the Anti Christ. How did she get stuck with him ? A baby. She got pregnant at sixteen with their first son and she stayed since then. Now she is forty-three their kids have gone off to college and she was ready to leave too. Through the marriage she had been to divorce lawyers many times but she loved him too much to leave and the children, she couldn't. He was a good father though. He loved his kids and they loved him .
     Tomorrow she has a meeting at nine with a lawyer, she was leaving him this time for real, no kids to stop her. She glances at him, he is still talking about Hillary and how Barack has betrayed Negroes everywhere by endorsing her. She is a damn criminal and should not be allowed to run that's all I'm saying.Don't even get me started on trump he continues. This is one they both agree on at least " the orange fool" this makes her smile. The show comes back on, one of the douche bags is making an old woman cry....

THE BLACK NOD

Black Africans in foreign countries  I was reading Americana recently and I saw something really interesting "the black nod". You know the nod u give when you see an African on the road , I do it , sometimes I even get mad when someone sees me and doesn't nod or acknowledge my nod. Why do we do this?. Really I think it gives us a sense of unity and togetherness, it's like yeah dude I see you and you could see someone a hundred times on the street and never say anything but nod or ask "how far nah"? a question which is never answered with a fine or cool or good but with the same question , the most intimate we get is the handshake with the finger snap at the end. These little things we do kind of says no matter where we came from in Africa we've got each other's backs here , and we've got to stick up for each other, it's a good sentiment but I need someone to answer my greeting.

MARTHA

It was February 2007 ten years ago, Sunday afternoon. Mother was making lunch as she usually did Martha was playing in the grass as she did.     You see Martha was "special" as mother always said, she was different. Brian hated her, he blamed her for father, he looked at her with disgust wondering how someone could be so helpless. He hated the attention she got from mother. It was always Martha needs this and Martha needs that. Brian on the other hand had to care for him self.   One day they came home, Martha had just been rejected by another special school, mother was crying, money had become an issue, they couldn't afford to pay for special schools again or nannys or doctors, mother had to get a job, Brian couldn't get toys anymore, there were no Christmas mornings and the poor thing did not even know it. She was always happy, always running around and laughing. That day after dinner Brian sat at the window and watched his father go to the car lock it and shoot hi...

BLACK BEAUTY

BLACK BEAUTY   So "black beauty". I'm not one to talk on the topic of race or racism because I feel sometimes it's overrated, I feel sometimes Africans/blacks take it too seriously, this isn't really a discussion of racism as it is a discussion of race as both parties (black and white ) are guilty of this.  So I was online browsing and I was looking at some pictures when I saw this picture. Normally I would see something like this and not really be interested, but for some reason I saw this picture today and I thought how wrong. It was a magazine cover ,on it there was a black woman and by her side it said "BLACK BEAUTY".  This phrase although very generic really is wrong. Now some people would get angry without reading the whole post.  What I mean , have you ever seen a magazine with a with a white woman on it captioned "WHITE BEAUTY"? We use the phrase like OMG there actually is a beautiful black person, like just get closer and you wi...
