Renaming a Federal Building to a Black Man

Recently I was at the post office mailing a letter and I notice that the downtown post office was named in Rev. Whalum's name. Not that I did not know I just notice the plaque. I started to think about  the Federal Building being named after Ordell Horton. Okay this was done By Steve Cohen and then I remember the Lottery and the apology of the slave letter.

As Black American, yeah I said Black, what does the naming of a building will effect you when the Judiciary System is still bias towards us in many cases? Have our minds are still in the A watermelon in every home to get a vote?   I would rather for Justice and fairness to be inside than for the Building to be named in honor of a Black man than racial injustice in being conducted inside.

I can say for sure that this election year is more important than any election in 10 years. we are making a milestone not just in history, but a new or better way of life than we have. Then we need to change our way of thinking.  I am sure that the Horton family and the Whalum family is honored and they might be the only two Black families that really get justice in the named building. We need to think this election really carefully and with the mind of the future.

Again, this is not about race because I don't think that racism is a one race deal. We have today, Judges like Goldin, Evans. and Means-Henderson making sure that Blacks and minorities in Chancery Court walk out without a shirt, underwear, and rectum check before leaving the court. ( with court cost).   Yet, our Congressman has the power to intervene when injustice in taken place in our courts. That is more greater than the naming of building.

Black people in Memphis is a Majority and we must think like a Majority. The Majority  rights for all of us so  once again, Memphis can be one city for all races to live

Okay, have you looked into running for congress in your district?

Hopefully I'll be in KY at my mother's family reunion that day or I'd beg an invite myself.

The rest of the year is for my dog Tootsie or Toots who passed away August 18,2008 at home. She was a stray that found us and we had 5 great years with her. She was an abused dog and if you ever came to the house, she would hobble (bark) as you would leave. She loved us and protected us. When my daughter left she had her own room and I find myself looking for her in that room which is across my bedroom Toots came into our lives when I was dealing with some heavy stuff and it seem that God brought us to comfort us and make sure we were together for the end of the journey. She got sick last year and was not the same. Old Toot is buried with our other family dogs in my sister's yard. She has a headstone to remind us that even if you are small, you can be a fighter. She taught me that. On a funny note, when you gave her something to eat and she was finish with it and wanted more, she would wait for you to ask her and then lick her lips... it was a trip because she understood what you were saying. I love you and miss you Tootise...you are free and healed
