I am back. Please excuse my long overdue and extended vacation. Thank you for your patience and persistence. I have just completed relocating from Oakland, California to Little Rock, Arkansas.
My move was made for many reasons:
The cost of living in California is intolerable. I could no longer endure the elitism.
From Proposition 209, to Proposition 187, to nonexistent Black talk radio, to the racist propaganda against Ebonics and the instruction of English as a second language, to chic cultural confusion, to the complete absence of Black female and homosexual hosts on commercial talk radio etc.... I could no longer endure the eurocentrism and pseudo-liberal hypocrisy of the Bay area.
In two years, I was unable to find a permanent job or purchase a home.
My soulmate lives here. Our phone bills were torture.
I fear California’s unpredictable and disastrous weather, which has worsened with “El Niño”.
The beautiful landscape: the ocean, the mountains, the hills, the breezes, etc.....
The close company of many dear friends and fellow warriors
Superior Asian restaurants and supreme music and video stores
KPFA and all of the fans of my FM show (Thanks!!!)
Being comfortable within a huge and visible community of homosexuals
There are many things I now enjoy in Arkansas:
Enduring the New World Order among family and in the arms of my soulmate
Living in affordable luxury via a permanent job
Gorgeous rivers, lakes, hills and mountains
Hearing Black voices on AM radio
Being in the company of afrocentric kindred spirits who prefer soul food to sushi and unity to universalism
and much more...
Wish me luck.
Stay tuned...
