Yes! America never fails to live up to its creed of inhumane treatment of Black and Brown people including immigrants. Admittedly, we haven’t hesitated to give the countries of origin of these refugees billions of dollars to keep them from our shores. Yet knowing that these provincial governments will as usually squander the money by way of internal theft and a plethora of crooked schemes.

When it comes to taking medical advice from a certified professional, suspicious people tend to respond with, “But they haven’t found the cure to cancer,” to defend their noncompliance. Regardless of the reason, there is some truth in this statement. Despite the many years of widespread donation drives, Cancer is still a real thing. But why? Is there something that these professionals and published scientists are not sharing with the people?

When it comes to music, nobody does it better than a Black artist. Over the years Black musicians have made indelible impacts on the way the industry is structured. Our influence has been sprinkled on almost every genre from country to gospel. Funk music is one of the biggest genres we’ve shaped. Throughout history there have been plenty of funk pioneers.

Thanks to a new documentary “B*tchin: The Sound and Fury of Rick James”, new and old fans can remember the monumental impact Rick James had on funk music.

The HAVE Coalition stands in unity with the diverse assembly of civil rights leaders, US elected officials and human rights organizations who vehemently object to the inhumane and excessively cruel treatment of Haitian refugees by United States Customs and Border Control (CBP) along the US-Mexico border at Del Rio, TX. At a broader level, we also question, along with others, why the Biden-Harris administration is blatantly failing to meet the expectations it set regarding respect for the human rights and dignity of refugees. Last week’s images of CBP agents on horseback herding Haitians, as if they were cattle, traumatically triggers memories of an America thought to have been left behind after the US Civil War. President Biden–we must do better.
