MY TRUTH
By Cheryl Smith Publisher
Excuses are... Collaboration is a beautiful concept. When journalists of color decided there was strength in numbers, I was excited that we were joining together with Asian, Hispanic and Native American journalists. The organization was called UNITY: Journalists of Color. There were so many lessons I learned over the years and I know my life has been enriched by the relationships that have been established and nurtured over the decades. When an opportunity arose to join the Unity Mentoring Project, I didn’t hesitate. I learned so much and made life-long friends. One exercise that further instilled in me the need to know my history, had to be our formal introduction where we talked about who we were and where we were from. That one exercise put the spotlight on the damage that slavery had done to African people. Very few of us (Blacks) could point to a native language or trace back to before 1619. While others could point to Mexico or Spain; Tokyo or the Philippines; the Cherokee or Piyute nation; many Blacks were clueless or someone might jokingly say something like, “well my mom is from the south side of Chicago.� We clearly knew, as everyone else did, that there was a disconnect. Now there was another “exercise� that may be uncomfortable for some or it might make you angry. Well here goes! Part of the Unity Project was getting to know others. With this knowledge, not only would we be better journalists; we’d be better people. Well, as we met in different cities, we went to different places to eat.

During Women’s History Month, we became more aware of exceptional women of Dr. Brenda Wall accomplishment and also sensitive to the statistics that describe the debilitating abuse that many women experience. The one out of three women, who is the victim of some form of violence including sexual assault, intimate partner violence and homicide becomes portrayed with scenarios of secrecy and pain. The devastation can be so overwhelming that we react to the abuse by creating additional pressure. Without realizing it, we begin to see the role of women in marginalized terms of pathology, dysfunction and accept suffering as the generational norm. The dynamics of abuse, control and male vilification give way to gossip, confusion and urban stereotypes of the angry, black woman. We admire the women who overcome such degradation. They are permitted to speak, perhaps, after they have learned an unstated lesson: know your place and abide within the framework that is set before you through a gender privileged lens. This is an incomplete and misguided approach for understanding millions of women in our midst, because we rarely challenge context. We ignore the system of patriarchal control and celebrate a Me Too Movement, which likewise presents See WISDOM, page 3 www.texasmetronews.com

women in terms of solidarity and resistance to gender privilege. The narrative has shifted, but with pathology too often remaining at center. It is more difficult for us to accept the power and beauty that comes from the liberated voice of the African ancestored woman. Agency and power have often been ignored, beaten into submission and tangled in the limiting context of racism, punitive abuse and recovery. Who wants to hear the voice that emerges apart from recovery with charges of micro aggressions and patriarchal privilege? Two out of three women are not the victims of abuse or violence and yet their insight is ignored, untapped and translated by the well-meaning, but condescending men who speak for them.
Meek Mill sentenced Mill, she “cited a failed drug test, violation of court-ordered travel restrictions, and two misdemeanor arrests: for reckless driving involving a motorcycle in Manhattan and for an alleged altercation at the St. Louis airport.” Pitchfork.com also reported that, “Charges in the New York case are set to be scrubbed from Meek’s record in April, if he avoids further violations; the St. Louis charge was reportedly dropped. Regardless, she gave him the two- to four-year sentence.” Mill’s case garnered the attention of civil rights activists across the nation.

TEXAS METRO NEWS May 9, 2018 Black women can easily speak on discrimination, sexual harassment and curtailed opportunity, but that wisdom, as important as it is, fails to capture the wholeness, creativity and unique strength of our women. The voice which is sought is safe, sanitized and non-threatening. Harriet Tubman, Fannie Lou Hamer, Rosa Parks and Maya Angelou are all safe enough to be on U.S. postage stamps now. But what about the living voice that speaks of resilience in families, justice in communities and purpose in churches and classrooms? That wisdom is diluted with safe celebrity and historic women of valor in an effort to minimize the beauty, freedom and power at hand.

The 76ers won the game, which marked the team’s first playoff series win since 2012. “We applaud the Pennsylvania Supreme Court for directing Judge Genece Brinkley to immediately release Meek Mill from prison, underscoring what we already knew, he did not deserve to be imprisoned in the first place,” stated Rashad Robinson, the executive director of Color of Change. “This decision sets an important precedent against the unjust jailing of so many Black and Brown people for petty probation violations.” Robinson continued: “Meek’s case is just one example of how

Although Wakanda may be inspired by reality, her stories are equally pragmatic and centered in victory, nurture and courage.

the excessively punitive criminal justice system targets Black people every day and turns prisons into profit-generating institutions.” Robinson noted that thousands of people are illegally detained in Philadelphia jails on unjust probation and parole violations every day without a hearing or the possibility of posting bail. “Together with money bail, probation detainers are one of the largest drivers of mass incarceration,” Robinson said. “With the Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision, we proved that when our communities hold those in power accountable, we can expose our racist criminal justice system and stop its disproportionate impact on the lives of Black people.” This article was originally published at BlackPressUSA.com.

Kanye Unchained: Stephen or Django?
Quit Playin’ By Vincent L. Hall There is no logical, literary, or lyrical path from Kanye’s socially-conscious diatribes and stated beliefs that would lead any critical thinker to predict his recent tethering to Donald “The John� Trump. Most Americans found it surreal and surprising to see Fox News featuring Kanye replacing Stacey Dash as its chief colored correspondent. Kanye’s bewildering betrayal buoys my standing argument that since slavery was “grandfathered,� wealthy White folks have adapted to the enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation. Since 1863, or 1865 if you live in Texas, modern-day “plantation owners� don’t buy Negroes; they just rent them. It’s safer, cheaper and environmentally efficient. Anyone who truly loved Kanye’s image and his dialectical genius in affairs of the mind and “The Souls of Black Folk� was crushed. It sent me back to the drawing board. That drawing board for me in the Trump era is the last six minutes of Django Unchained. In Django’s epilogue, the freedmen confronted the House Negro In Charge (HNIC). Stephen, heartened by the notion that Django lacked additional
ammunition remarked; “I count six shots Nigga!� Django retorts; “I count two guns Nigga.� Django took Stephen out at the kneecaps and detonated some strategically planted sticks of dynamite. Stephen and “Candie Land� were decimated. Progress usually blossoms when evil institutions are vanquished. However, the role of Stephen will live forever, We know Kanye and his pregnant wife Kim saw Django on New Year’s Day 2013, at The Grove in L.A. We know it because Perez Hilton’s
While Django is being “featured� in a slave auction, Dr. King Schultz, a German dentist turned bounty hunter, frees him from the Speck brothers; some vicious and onerous slave owners and catchers. Remarkably, Django is granted a once in a lifetime opportunity to kill a gang of White “slavers� whom Django knows and despises. A bond slave killing his oppressors for pay has to be the penultimate motivation in terms of professional objectives.
website said it and they keep a keen eye on the whereabouts of rich and rising Negro athletes and musicians. But for your sake, here are my cliff notes. In Quentin Tarantino’s social cinematic discourse, Django played by Jamie Foxx, is a slave living in the Deep South. True to custom, Django was purposely estranged from his wife; Broomhilda, and was awry with guilt and anguish.
Anyone who left this movie without a keener understanding of how brutal slave owners and slave police pooled their efforts is in denial. Django depicts the reality of American slavery well enough to secure reparations. From the brutal Mandingo fights to iron shackles and brass faceguards, this movie makes the blockbuster series “Roots� like a musical about slaves “who made a choice,� but fell on hard times.
Django Unchained had movements that played beneath the violence. For the simple, it was caustic; blood and guts. For the sophist, the film represents a treasure trove of perplexing plots and nerve-wracking novellas at work contemporaneously. So here is the darker summary... Django like many other slaves was viciously severed from the woman he loved and would do anything to get her back. That pursuit leads him to deceive, maim and kill anyone in his way. Anyone could track Kanye’s sickness to the loss of his mother. That’s understandable, but that logic should make him Django‌not Stephen. The optimistic summary is that racial justice is achievable. Django proved that when Black and Whites converge as equals they can overcome the evil empire of the ruling White class being abetted by selfish Negroes. Rented Negroes relish in being the favorite, the only or the other. This summary doesn’t help Kanye either. Aiding Trump in his White Nationalist xenophobic causes is dishonorable regardless of race or ethnicity. At some point, Kanye West abandoned the role of Django, and the part of Stephen revokes his reputation as a revolutionary. Whether he plays Stephen or Django, Kanye is always unchained. Vincent L. Hall is an author, activist and award-winning journalist.

Black voters must take over the polls
Speaking Truth to Power By Jeffrey L. Boney
If there ever was a time that Black people needed to fully understand the power of their Black dollar, as well as the need to emphasize the importance of putting their money where their true influence is, that time is now. The upcoming November 2018 elections are by far one of the most important election cycles in the history of the United States. More importantly, it is one that the Black community can’t afford to ignore. African Americans make up roughly 13 percent of the overall population in the U.S., and have a buying power so strong that it can’t be overlooked. While having a strong and consistent buying power in itself is a powerful asset for any group to have, turning that asset into a long-term money maker and wealth generation tool is the only thing that will strengthen the overall position and status of African Americans in this country, especially in the area of politics. With this November election right around the corner, it is a prime opportunity for Black people to realize their true collective power by joining in with one another to create one of the most important movements of this era. It is time for Black people to “Takeover The Polls” in every local, county, state and federal election in

this country. Yes! It is time for Black people to “Takeover The Polls” by any means necessary. This can only be accomplished by championing a concerted effort to register Black non-voters and by encouraging existing, registered Black voters to get out and vote. One of the leading voices in the Black community is aggressively mounting a push towards registering new voters and increasing voter turnout in the Black community, beginning with the midterm elections and establishing a solid foundation that goes well beyond November. The National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA), which is a trade group that represents over 200 Black-owned media companies across the U.S., recently launched an initiative to register 5 million new, Black voters before the midterm elections. This effort is a bold step that is sure to make a profound impact come November. Dr. Benjamin Chavis, Jr., the president and CEO of the NNPA, is championing this bold initiative on behalf of a storied organization that is the largest and most influential Blackowned media resource in America, reaching more than 20 million readers, combined, in print and online, every week. In addition to working with the publications within the NNPA, the campaign initiative will focus on an aggressive voter registration drive, community-level education on important issues, and a mobilization effort, which are all designed to reach young, Black eligible voters, particu-
larly in battleground states, like Texas and North Carolina. “This coming November, the 2018 midterm elections will be one of the most important elections for American Americans in our lifetime,” Dr. Chavis said. “This is about voting rights and the enormous suffering and bloodshed that our people have experienced to make American democracy real and fair. Yet, this is also about responsibility.” Dr. Chavis and the NNPA have also partnered with organizations like the NAACP, in order to accomplish the goal of registering these 5 million new, Black voters. “I am proud that the NNPA is encouraging and mobilizing the Black community to get 5 million more African Americans registered to vote across the nation,” Dr. Chavis continued. “We have to takeover and overwhelm our political adversaries at the voting polls in 2018. This is a payback year! Now is the time!” In order for African Americans to “Takeover The Polls” effectively before November, however, there are several things that must be done to make it work and get the results needed to make a significant impact. First and foremost, education about the importance of voting is critical in order to get as many Black people registered to vote as possible, as well as help them truly understand what’s at stake. Secondly, political candidates must ensure that Black people become more familiar with who they are, which can only be done by effectively advertising in Black media outlets, like the Black newspapers, in their re-
spective geographic locations. Lastly, more accountability must be placed on the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party must do more, at every level, to cultivate and show appreciation for their loyal base of Black voters, if they want to truly see change during the midterm elections. According to the Pew Research Center, 87 percent of Black voters identify with the Democratic Party or lean Democratic, compared with just 7 percent who identify as Republican or lean Republican. Black women are a driving force behind this high percentage of Black registered voters, and when they turnout, they make a huge difference. Take the recent Alabama Senate race for example. When Alabama Democrat Doug Jones faced a challenging, uphill battle against controversial Republican candidate Roy Moore in their special Senate election, it was Black voter turnout that made the difference. As a matter of fact, “Black voters turned out for the special election [in Alabama] at a higher level than their share of the electorate when Obama was on the ballot in 2008 and 2012,” according to CNN.com. After getting reports that 96 percent of Black voters backed Jones and 98 percent of Black women voters supporting Jones, Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Tom Perez tweeted, “Let me be clear: We won in Alabama and Virginia because #BlackWomen led us to victory. Black women are the backbone of the Democratic Party, and we can’t take that for granted. Period.” Strong, but true words from the
Malcolm X screening, ica. Many noted high profile community leaders and elected officials have confirmed their attendance along with community organizations, high school students from the Dallas Independent School District (DISD) and college students from Paul Quinn
and Southern Methodist University (SMU) known for taking yearly pilgrimages to civil rights sights. As she was leaving the city of Montgomery, Mrs. Liuzzo was killed by members of the Ku Klux Klan on Sunday, March 25, 1965; the same day the historic march from Selma to

DNC Chair, but will those words translate into true appreciation for the power of the Black vote leading up to the November midterm elections and beyond? The need for groups like the NNPA to work collaboratively with the DNC, community leaders and others committed to creating a political revolution, is paramount and necessary. The revolution must start now. However, it must go beyond the midterm elections and trickle down to the local, county and state races in a major way, as well. This is just one election cycle, and while it may be one of the most important election cycles in our lifetime, the Black community must start today by aggressively educating, equipping and empowering Black youth, voting age adults and senior citizens, through information sharing and voter registration efforts to ensure their voices are heard loud and clear at the polls. It is time for the African American community to “Takeover The Polls” this November, and beyond, by joining in with the NNPA to help register 5 million new, Black voters.

Ask ALMA Dear Alma,
A Hairy Problem look worse. I don’t think there is a chance for romance with her hair this way. Doesn’t she realize it detracts from any sex appeal she might be hiding underneath? I would like to remain friends with this woman and get to know her better, but I am uncomfortable with the attention she draws in public. I can’t ask her to cut her hair,
www.texasmetronews.com
Dear E.P.
My, my, my, you’re in a pickle, Mr. Whipple. I’d like to know if it’s the natural hairstyle of dredlocs that you don’t like about your new boo, or is it that she’s not permed. Either way, natural or permed, long or short, I think when it comes to the style of one’s own hair, it’s personal – an individual decision. Most women I know are under the impression that men prefer long, straight hair. That’s why weaves are so popular in our communities. That said, some women aren’t offended if a guy wants them to change their hairstyle. So I say tell her. You don’t have to be mean or insulting. Just mention that you’d like to see her with a particular style. It would probably help if you had a picture of the style you’d like. If she likes you, she probably won’t mind that you mentioned it. If she gets mad…well, then you’d have to decide what’s more important to you – her heart or her hair. Good luck!
I met a woman online about six months ago and we’ve been emailing ever since. We live in different states. She’s been very caring, and we seem to have the start to a wonThis is not your baby. derful friendship. As for your church I have one conflict, though: She family, rise above the has dreads down to her waist. This woman is in her 40s, is educated whispers of your “weand not a musician. She is the perdon’t-sin” Christian fect height and size. She looks totally professional… until you see friends (and you stop her hair. doing it, too, in case Why would someone choose to you were a part of that wear her hair in a style that appears unattractive and unkempt?

How do you tell someone sounds (it’s what’s inside that there’s this huge boulder in the way counts), but it’s sometimes hard for of getting closer? Is there any solution to this dipeople to get past initial impreslemma, or should I just forget about sions. Most of us try to do the best my new friend?

MY TRUTH
Journalists were planning the menu, we went to a Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, et al restaurant. If the Asian American Journalists Association hosted, we ate Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino, et al. If the Native American Journalists Association hosted, we were sure to have venison, fry bread and other Native American dishes on the menu. However, I do not recall going anywhere, when the National Association of Black Journalists hosted, where “Soul” food was on the menu. Which brings me to my truth here! Someone needs to explain to me why some BLACK organizations don’t make shopping BLACK a priority? Why isn’t it the natural thing to do? I’ve heard variations, but I will stick with the one I know: “Excuses are the tools of incompetence that build mon-

recently, we went to Two Podners, where upstairs in their new facility at 1441 Robert B. Cullum, they have a room where you can hold meetings (complete with screens) while you enjoy the good food. Now I can go on because there are numerous other places we will be going to in the future. I wish Williams Chicken had a place that could hold about 20. And Sweet Georgia Brown can cater the perfect healthy meal, if I come up with the location. So you can save your arguments about me having racist tendencies. Showing Black love, Black power and common sense is not being racist, anti or ignorant. I tell you this. One friend loves Pappadeaux restaurants. I understand that love because the food is consistently
“Excuses are the tools of incompetence that build monuments of nothing and those who specialize in them are seldom good at anything else!” uments of nothing and those who specialize in them are seldom good at anything else!” For the life of me, I can’t understand how you can be a Black business owner, belong to a Black Church, be a leader in a Black organization and when you have an opportunity to take people to eat; the first place you run to is a nonBlack restaurant. Save the arguments: the staff is rude, the service is slow, the food is unhealthy, and so on. We can find 99 reasons to not choose Black. I say choose Black, help Black to grow, lovingly share your concerns and to the proper person in the right forum. Show love of self, Ujima and Ujamaa. I have begun having quarterly meetings in Dallas with my team. The first one was scheduled for Sankofa Kitchen at 3333 W. Camp Wisdom. Then it was South Dallas Cafe, where they accommodated my last-minute request, at 7035 Marvin D Love Fwy. And most
good and I like going there also. But guess what? Let’s say my friend ate at the same Pappadeaux every Friday for 51 weeks. What do you think would happen if they walked in on the 52nd Friday and sat down and said, “I don’t have any money today, can you serve me?” Also save your arguments about elegance and stature. You are standing on the shoulders of people who could only cook, clean and serve in those or like establishments. Help your Black businesses reach the level of “elegance and stature” that you feel you deserve by supporting them in their growth In future months, I am going to be highlighting Black-owned restaurants and I am encouraging you to seek them out and try spending some of your dollars with them. Act like you don’t have a choice but to find and utilize a Black establishment. Also actlike you have hometraining! Try it, you might like it! www.texasmetronews.com

Theron is very relatable in Tully
In Tully, Charlize Theron is Marlo, a mother with a newborn and two more challenging elementary school kids. Tully is a modern day "Mary Poppins" who is hired by Marlo's well-todo brother to give her some relief from her dayto-day mommy duties. Tully is a night nanny so only Marlo, and the baby, have interaction with her. The two eventually form a special bond after Marlo gets over her initial fear that the quirky Tully may be trying to kill her family during the night. Tully's optimism brings Marlo back to the version of herself who was once passionate about life, her kids and her husband. The movie is a realistic version of life for a mother with a newborn and a special needs son. It's a very funny film and anyone who has kids will easily relate to the storyline. Diablo Cody, who won Best Screenwriter for 2007's Juno, is the writer of Tully. Her sense
of humor comes through in the movie's script. Cody is not one to rely on clichĂŠs', but rather on modern mundane things that we see and go through in our day-to-day life, such as the difficulty of living a normal life when your breasts are always leaking mother's milk. Expressing milk is a big part of the movie and Cody makes the scenarios hilarious. Also, pay attention to some clues in the movie that help you to understand the ending. (I won't say any more so that I don't ruin the plot for you.) Theron gained 50 pounds for her role in the movie and is very convincing as a new mother. She says a steady diet of processed food and In and Out Burger helped her to create her physique. Tully has a run time of 1 hour and 36 minutes and is rated R for language and some nudity. It is a very adult comedy. On my "Hollywood Popcorn Scale" I rate Tully a LARGE.

Ministry Entrepreneur Explosion Conference is Coming to Dallas
This is NOT a worship conference. This is for artists who want to use their music ministry gifts beyond their local church! The Incubator Creative Group presents the Ministry Entrepreneur Explosion Conference using Christian music as a tool of evangelism, encouragement and ministry beyond the conventional possibilities of Sunday church services. The Explosion is not another worship conference. It has a decided emphasis on the performance aspects of music verses the use of music in a worship setting. The Explosion also illuminates a perspective for making a music ministry work as a sustainable small business enterprise or self-supporting hobby. You want information? We’ve got information, click here! The Explosion is more than a conference. It is an experience. It includes not only the live event itself but also seven hours of
pre-conference online training and interaction. T his in-advance experience provides a unique vehicle to facilitate the development of a relationship between you as an artist and Incubator (the sponsor of the Explosion). The Explosion utilizes a proven system for growth deployed by Incubator over its 30year history… Active Relational Training (ART). The result of ART is the establishment and deepening of a relationship between each artist and Incubator, which correspondingly creates a high level of energy and positive atmosphere among the registrants gathered for the live event. The Explosion may feel more like a family reunion than an educational event! The Ministry Explosion will come to Dallas on Friday and Saturday July 27th and 28th. It’s a can’t miss weekend (Friday night and and all day Saturday) conference igniting Christian artists to take their music and message beyond Sundays!

That work included guiding AT&T to placement on Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For list, the top 3 on Diversity Inc.’s 2017 Top 50 list of companies, and her own acknowledgement as one of the “50 Most Powerful Women in Corporate America” by Black Enterprise magazine and on Ebony magazine’s 2016 “Power 100” list. “We are honored to have such a visionary leader on campus to share her wisdom with our students,” said GSU

President Rick Gallot. “It’s more important today than ever for our students to understand the value that a diverse and inclusive culture brings to an organization.” Marshall, who The Network Journal recently named one of the 25 Most Influential Women in Business, has already had an impact on Grambling State students after recently hosting a student visit at the Mavericks head-
quarters in Dallas, TX. “Meeting Cynthia Marshall was definitely something I didn’t know I needed,” said Sara Renee Garner, sophomore in Grambling State’s Department of Mass Communication. “As a black woman in a male-dominated industry, she is like superwoman. Meeting her, I saw all of my dreams personified.” Marshall will address students, faculty, and their families on the heels of Grambling State’s highest enrollment since 2014, which includes a freshman class increase of greater than 200 percent since that time. “It’s been a great year for Grambling State students,” said President Gallot. “We’re excited to welcome Mrs. Marshall to help us celebrate.” Commencement Information: Grambling State University Commencement, Spring 2018 Friday, May 11, 2018 at 10 a.m. Fredrick C.
