        After weeks of controversy and armchair coaching by fans on social media, the FAMU football team seemed to catch fire in their Homecoming game vs. Texas Southern University.  The Rattlers opened the game on defense and forced TSU to punt on 4th and 16 from the TSU 27-yard line.  The Rattlers first possession put six on the board when Daniel Richardson found Quan Lee for a one-yard touchdown to kick off the rattler scoring after 12 plays and 70 yards.  FAMU again held Texas Southern to a four and out series and they punted again.  TSU returned the favor and forced the Rattlers to a four and out.  The first quarter ended with the score 7-0 FAMU. 

       As a Black man in America, I’ve learned to listen closely when those in power take off their white robes and pointed white hats and put on red neck ties with their negroes in tow, begin to stoke fears and lean on threats. So, when Donald Trump suggested that “bad things could happen if I lose,” I took notice not out of fear but as a reminder. His words were more than just a comment—they were a direct channel to a dark part of American history where intimidation, violence, and division were tactics used to secure their position of power. It’s a message we can’t afford to ignore.

    This is what nightmares are made of – between 1946 and 1958 the U.S. detonated 67 nuclear bombs in the Marshall Islands, and the result is that the Marshallese people have lost their pristine environment and face health problems. Our environment is threatened here as well. Not only did the indigenous Chumash people lose their sacred land to Vandenberg Air Force Base, but also America’s Heartland presently has around 400 ICBMs stored in underground silos equipped with nuclear warheads that are ready to launch at a hair trigger’s notice. Named “MinuteMen III,” after Revolutionary War soldiers who could reload and shoot a gun in less than a minute, ICBMs not only put Americans at risk of accident, and turn North Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana into apocalyptic targets, but they put all life on earth in danger.

   This racist pseudo-joke, uttered by Tony Hinchecliffe at the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden on Oct. 27, has been virally shamed. It’s even been denounced by Team Trump itself. But I bring it back into the limelight for a moment for several eerily linked reasons.

      The Jamaica United Relief Association (JURA), in collaboration with Commissioner Maxwell B. Chambers of the City of Miramar, is set to host a Day of Caring—a community initiative aimed at collecting, sorting, and organizing donations to aid local and international organizations that support those in need.
