#AMERICANHISTORYMONTH BRUNCH!!

Many people (idiots) ask the question. "Well... why don't we have a white history month?!" Well here you go! #ThrowbackThursday!! The month is short so I'm gonna have to stack these a bit. #TBT#whitepeoplemakingblackhistory 
As American as picnics...








Water Parks
and walking the old dog!
I call this first series BRUH-NCH. Here's some "old-timey" photos from way back when... 55 years ago with some young black thugs breaking the law... trying to gentrify this brunch spot... bringing property values down... And some brave citizens restoring order! Notontheirwatch!


The first image I'll call "HORSE COLLAR" because, I mean, that's even illegal in the NFL and they don't give a SHIT about the health of black people.
This second picture is gonna be called "I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE! I DRINK IT UP!" because that's what these strong ass brothers and sisters (not all of them black, of course) were thinking the whole time they were getting beat up and trashed by these scared, bigoted reactionary idiots. The last is called "THAT AIN'T KETCHUP". 
It's from a little event know as "Axe Handle Saturday".

Thank god we've learned our place since then... Law enforcement has it under control! Now, perhaps some people can get off my back for not liking crowds. Damn, we are some pretty tolerant motherfuckers, huh. Just you wait! So much #AmericanHistoryMonth left! And don't you northerners fret! I got you!

No worries: I'll keep #FlashbackFridays lighter (read: blacker). (Side note: Given the average age of this crowd, most of these people could still be alive. My my my... get that Social Security Agnes... Get it Merle! You served your country by not serving us!!)

WOMEN'S MARCH (#YESALLWOMEN)

It's that time again!!!  # FBF  of  # AMERICANHISTORYMONTH . This photo gallery is brought to you by my mother and called...  # WOMENSMARCH !! It took me along time to write this... pardon me if I say something stupid. Feminine is a funny Word. I cannot define the phenomenon of feminine, for it is neither my place nor my aim... but I like it. For many reasons in many ways, always. In some societies it is softness. The wilting flower. The tender petals. In some cultures it is rubenesque. In some thin. Sometimes Athena, sometimes Oshun....  blah blah blah. But... Quick Tale: When I was growing up, I had a diverse array of friends of all light frequencies. And I never thought much of it. Once I had a conversation with my mother about how she sometimes felt uneasy around groups of white men and women. I found this weird, as my mom's friends were also Bennetton-ad-esque. She pointed out to me that her difficulty with Whit...

Madison at Manhattanville

This is Madison. She is a bold young lady. She liked my drawing  and told me so. Then she and sat down after she finished her homework she immediately set up shop and started drawing ponies. She needed color and luckily I had the pencils the lady friend lent me. Now we have talked about ponies, "equestrians" (pronounced properly) "Cess Academy" (pronounced improperly... I hope) and she has decided that she will draw with me every day. My first new NYC friend! She is a student at Harper Arts and Science. She designed a computer with ponies on it. I haven't drawn in 30 minutes... some things are more important, I'm learning. She wanted me to help her draw her friend Jenny, the batista. She asked me to draw the lips for her. Nailed it. #prismacolorpencils #blackgirlmagic  # drawing #ponies #cessacademy

God’s Work

Still feeling weird so opted to hoop the other day. In jeans.   I called my dad to chat about life. Lottery tickets, his car wrecks, my bum ass boredom... then I played some 2s wit some clowns. New York rules means who ever is loudest and least impressed is right, apparently.  There were beautiful black kids all over this Brooklyn school playground. Playing ball, talking shit.  A father played with his kindergartener son in corn rows, watching the tike take terrible shots that fall a foot and a half below the rim.  I watch his dad joyfully feign disappointment.  I remember those times with my dad. A loud mouth skinny Brooklyn guy, maybe my age asks if I want to run. I say hold on. I finish my call and hang up. My shot ain’t falling but who gives a fuck... I’m from Chicago... fuck these little niggas. Whooped that ass in jeans and a kangol.  Me and a high school kid who never learned to pass or layup whooped these grown men. Once the teammates were fighting ...
