The Republican Party, in a desperate attempt to capture the Georgia Senate’s seat, has decided to use an old inhuman” slave owner’s tactic of using Black men as studs and treating them as buffoons. They weren’t concerned about their IQ or diction. Rather, it was their virility and obedience. As you can see, they’ve chosen Hershel Walker, ex-pro-football player, as their perfect stud as well as buffoon to challenge democratic Senator Raphael Warnock.

What makes the U.S. exceptional is not that we are somehow immune to the erosion of democracy, he said. What makes us exceptional is the progress we have made together. We can take hope and strength from our own history, and the example of courageous people around the world.
Vote like life depends on it because it does. In less than a month, Americans will go to the polls to cast ballots in what will likely be one of the most consequential elections in our nation’s history. Every election has essential policy questions. But the 2022 midterms quite literally weigh the importance of life. Americans can weigh in on the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade by voting for or against candidates who support or oppose abortion. Political strategists and pollsters say support or opposition to Roe versus Wade could be the deciding factor in elections where the races are close. I hope and pray that it is. I am praying for voters to support life candidates.
Many of us may already be aware that when it comes to heart disease in the U.S., Black, African American, and Afro-Caribbean communities are disproportionately affected compared to other racial and ethnic groups.* But did you know about three to four percent of African Americans carry a mutation in the TTR gene (V122I) that makes it more likely that they may develop ATTR-CM, however not all carriers develop the disease. ATTR-CM gets worse over time, which is why early diagnosis and management are so important.
Please go to the polls or vote in other ways but go vote. I don’t care who you vote for, but it is no secret that some politicians have done everything they could to suppress your votes and get you to stay at home.
For 20 years, I have not touched or smoked weed or herb, because I felt I did not need it. As a young man in high school I tried it, but I preferred drinking beer. Once I got in college, I enjoyed marijuana tremendously. I went to Howard University, and it was during 1969 to 1973, and women took birth control pills, and they wore no bras.
As you scan this title, I want you to immediately focus on Sally Hemings a helpless Black stave girl. At the age of just fourteen, she became the property of former president Thomas Jefferson. Sally penned down and repeatedly raped by Jefferson whenever he wanted survived. Saily impregnated, gave birth to six children. No one came to her aid because she was mere property.
Dirty tricks like this make me sick. And as we get closer to this year’s midterms, civil rights leaders are warning that we’re likely to see more of them. The Far Right is waging a war on Black voters, and disinformation is among its favorite weapons. Another one is passing laws to make it harder for Black citizens to vote. The Brennan Center at NYU keeps track of these efforts. The legal scholars their report that since 2020, lawmakers in 49 states have introduced more than 400 bills that would make it harder to vote. This midterm election is the first nationwide election since that massive voter suppression campaign started, and we have one way to fight it: massive voter mobilization.
But I can’t. I cannot let the increased racist rhetoric in American politics go unchecked.
