KHOU-11 Houston reported Fifty percent of persons who died from COVID 19 in Houston, Texas were diagnosed with diabetes. It is reported by the Houston Health Department that 13.5 % or 311,118 of 2,304,580 Houstonians have diabetes.

Fear is the NO.1 enemy of the Black community. On the day Shaka Sankofa (fka Gary Graham) was executed (June 22, 2000), I was the last person to speak to him in his holding cell on Death Row in Huntsville, Texas.

There is nothing more "woke" or "revolutionary" than fixing our relationship with the Mother of Civilization. Conversely, sisters must fix their relationship with Allah (God) and their male counterparts too. In the end, this world's values and norms of "rugged individualism" or "feminism" will consign us to a servitude position as a people in perpetuity. Remember, there is no me without you, and there is no you without me. We will only rise together in love and unity.

ONE BLACKMAN'S OPINION: With popularity, influence, power, and authority come responsibility. Whatever gift, talent, skill, or position we hold is not to be abused or misused. The Law of Use is always in effect. To whom much is given, much is to be required.
