‘Why I’ll never stand again for ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ (SALUTE!)
– Thom Hartmann’s valuable comments start at the 7:10 mark.
KING: Why I’ll never stand again for ‘The Star-Spangled Banner by Sean King
Thank you Thom Hartmann for being so EXPLICITLY CLEAR as is routine in your handling of knowledge.
So Colin Kaepenick KNOWS ‘THAT OF WHICH HE TALKS’ AND WILL NOT STAND FOR and instead chose to kneel about honorably!
Francis Scott Key was WACK (a mild understatement)!

The Top 5 Dishes in Leimert Park
Pictured is Ackee and Saltfish from Ackee Bamboo. Looks great though as a long-time customer since the eatery opened over 9 years ago. I need to ask the owners, D….. and M…… or their daughters (who have helped run the restaurant since they were in high school), “How long have.

After you get past what I think of but have never uttered “Assholisms” (which typically = over the top male bravado…I hope folks do not miss that this is a ‘Song of Resistance’ in way too many ways’ to the dominant socio-cultural and political-economic ‘norms’ in way too many spaces and places of Life.
Let’s Link Up folks.

I love my friends!
One of my MOSST MEANINGFUL favorite Life Anthems.
Since, BUT Only for, this Post-Stroke Rehab period, AFRISPORA has turned into only a blog/vlog.
Appreciate my real world and online folks that have ‘Held Me Down’ as I probably me first heard Q-Tip say in a verse. It radiated a MEANING then almost 30 years ago.
It is easy yet hard to explain but should one have to…? As Jalen Rose puts it, “It’s ‘Cultural!’ Yup, I agree bruh.

SALUTE! ~ Black Panther’s director: ‘Brotha Kofi’ Ryan Coogler
Kofi is Ryan Coogler’s Akan Day Name. Like mine is Kwame (Saturday born), Kofi indicates that he was born on a Friday in 1986 in his case. Each day carries a variety of attributable spiritual (thus behavioral) traits.
He is symbolically my/our folks now, so he gets a nickname as a term of endearment.
Asante bruh!
