#Deltaversary Some people wonder what the big deal is about belonging to a sorority. Some feel the whole process and notion is a waste of time and energy, as well as re-

sources.

I can’t speak for others but I can speak about the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. experience. The decision to seek membership in Delta, 39 years ago, I believe was one of the best decisions of my life. On the campus of Florida A&M University, I became involved in a process that ultimately led to me meeting women who have become long-lasting friends and sisters.

If we talk weekly, monthly or yearly; it doesn’t matter. Sometimes we only see one another at homecoming, a convention, memorial service or Reclamation activity and still it’s like time stopped. We pick up as though we were just with one another last week. This is especially

VOL 6 ISSUE 36

the case with my 33 “line sisters.� When we’re together, there’s nothing phony about the gathering. We know one another! We really know one another! And we have each other’s back!

I love them women so much and over the years, the numbers have increased exponentially. When I was traveling in Senegal, I ran into a Quit Playin’ sorority sister and was met with love. When I was vis11 iting Okinawa, not only did I run into several lovely sorority sisters serving our country; I also met so many from other sororities and fraternities. That experience was just as heartwarming because when all is said and done, we were all one. We believe in scholastic excellence and service to mankind.

Yara Shahidi gets ‘black-ish’ spinoff

Life is imitating art for Yara Shahidi.

The 17-year-old “black-ish” actress is going to college – in real life and on television.

“College-ish” will center around Zoey’s character as she heads off to college and

“I did get all of my college acceptances and I’m keeping them close to the belt as of right now, but I got into every college I applied to,” Shahidi, who plays Zoey Johnson on the ABC comedy, told Seventeen magazine.

But the actress, who plans to study African-American history and sociology, will not be going to school immediately. She plans to defer a year, like Malia Obama, to continue working on a new “black-ish” spinoff called “College-ish,” which follows her character, Zoey, to college.

The show, which will air on Freeform, will debut in 2018. According to Variety,

Freeform is the sister network to ABC, which airs “black-ish.” It has a younger demographic which is perfect for the younger-skewing “College-ish.”

The show will be executive produced by “black-ish” creator Kenya Barris, along with Anthony Anderson, Laurence Fishburne, Helen Sugland and Brian Dobbins.

realizes that things are not as easy as she thought … similar to the “Cosby Show” spinoff “A Different World,” staring Lisa Bonet. “black-ish” co-star Deon Cole will join Shahidi on “College-ish,” reprising his role as Charlie who works as an adjunct professor. The rest of the cast will be new.

“I never thought they’d let me put ‘black-ish’ on the air, let alone give me a spinoff,” Barris told Variety. “I couldn’t be more excited for the opportunity to continue working with Yara and the rest of this talented young cast. To any aspiring writers struggling to make it out there, I highly advise adding an ‘ish’ to any working title you might have. It seems to be the move.”

QUIT PLAYIN’

By Vincent L. Hall

You say you a gangsta, but you never pop nothing. We say you a wanksta, and you need to stop frontin’!!! –

I Messenger

Trump is a Wanksta!

The Donald learned how to shut up or practice restraint the whole world would be his oyster. Even his critics must relent and give him credit for the uncanny ability to read people and situations for his own benefit.

Donald Trump’s greatest strength lies in his gift of plainspoken half-truths that just seem to make common sense. Common sense is all the sense that

one who wants to solve other people’s problems.

In fact Gladwell infers that the maven should be pathological, and we ain’t sure yet just how, but we are sure that Trump is pathological!

Finally, you need a “Connector” which is “essentially the social equivalent of a computer network hub.” These are also the three essentials of a modern day gangster.

the average American gives themselves credit for. But ain’t nothing common about common sense.

In his book, “The Tipping Point” (How Little Things can made a Big Difference), author Malcolm Gladwell infers that you can change the world with three personality traits. And while the triad is not usually found in one person, Trump has just enough of those leading attributes to be dangerous.

Gladwell says that you need a salesperson with charisma; check that box.

The movement or idea needs a maven or some-

Now let me add that one of the knocks on Gladwell’s thesis was that there were claims that the book had an underlying theme of racism and homophobia. But alas, so does Trumpism. And that’s where Trump lost the chance to rule America and the world.

50 Cent aka Curtis James Jackson III

Although he wishes and probably even fashions himself as a hard core gangster, Donald J. Trump violates every rule in the “players” handbook. First in the litany of “do nots” in the hustler’s almanac is “Do not talk.”

Trumpism is compelling and his gangsterism is unquestionable…until he opens his mouth.

Black culture and folklore rehearse one cautionary admonishment continually; “Don’t let your 10 cent mouth get your million dollar ass in trouble.”

Nowadays you can ruin your game with a nickels worth of words on Twitter and Trump is living proof.

America and the world are nervous now, but if

WWW.MYIMESSENGER.COM

Black people are absolutists, and phoniness is culturally taboo. When Trump started maligning Mexicans and Muslims, Black folks distanced themselves because we understand where we line up in the pecking order.

We figure that anyone who enjoys jokes about Jews has already exhausted the Nigger jokes. If Donald Trump had taken a multicultural run at the presidency…he would have won…the right way!!

But rather than claim all of the ill-gotten gains from his “Tipping Point” experience, Trump can’t stop talking. He has to verbally annihilate his opponents. Firing the former FBI Director James Comey wasn’t enough. Trump has to go to the Russian gulag and pronounce that Comey was a “nut job!

Rather than allowing an unfettered investigation of his brazen Bromance with Putin, Trump had to lie and say that former President Obama “bugged” his campaign office.

Time and time again, even the innocuous steps

by Trump are worsened by his ever-running mouth.

We were taught that the “pink tornado” in the back of your mouth could create a storm of mess.

But for the wannabee gangster, Donald Trump, talking is going to land him in the impeachment section of the American history books.

Or as honest Abe Lincoln once said; “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.” #silenceisgolden

Dear Alma: I’ve been married for six years and I love my husband so much. We met when he was in the Navy.

The last year that he was in, I got pregnant, so we agreed it would be best to move close to my family and I was very happy about that. He is a good provider and takes care of me and our daughter.

Here’s the thing, my husband takes a trip with his best friend who is still in the Navy every year. It’s just the two of them, not the extended family.

My sister said that is strange for two men to go on trips together.

She said that I need to find out what’s going on and make sure he’s not on “the down low.” What do you think?

Signed, Home Alone Wife Dear Home Alone Wife, Sounds to me like your husband appreciates the experience of traveling with an old friend and ain’t nothing wrong with that. Sometimes you just want to get away and enjoy the scenery with your good buddy and take a vacation from family life.

Is that a little weird, does that mean you’re on “the down low?”

Ummmm, I say, “no.”

He was an individual person with friends before you married him. He joined the Navy to travel and that’s what he did.

Do you know what that means?

It means you’re creating stories in your mind instead of taking care of your business.

That, Honey Chile, will get you in trouble. Don’t indict your husband based on your imagination.

Stop listening to your sister, her idle mind is in overdrive. She’s not married to your husband, you are.

You know better than anyone else what’s going on in your house. What you should be doing is defending your husband.

How about that! Use that week or so that he’s gone to try something new on your own bucket list.

Grab a fork and appreciate the time enjoying your own pie of passion!

Trust him, trust yourself and tell your sister to mind her business.

Alma

you’re creating stories in your mind instead of taking care of your business.

Just because he’s out of the military, doesn’t mean he no longer enjoys that passion or the lifelong friendships he’s made during that time.

Bobby Henry Sr. is Recipient of 2017 Angelo B. Henderson Community Service Award

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) announced today that Bobby Henry, publisher of the Westside Gazette in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is the recipient of the 2017 Angelo B. Henderson Community Service Award.

The award, named for the late Angelo B. Henderson, recognizes a journalist who has had a positive impact on the community outside the realm of journalism. Henderson was a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for The Wall Street Journal who later became a minister, community activist and radio talk show host. Henderson also served NABJ in numerous capacities, including chapter president and national parliamentarian.

Upon receiving word that he would be honored, the self-proclaimed chef first expressed surprise and disbelief.

Clearly someone was pranking him, he said. "I'm usually not short on words," said Henry. "I was elated and immediately thought about George Curry (former editor-in-chief of the NNPA newswire service and long-time NABJ member and former Journalist of the Year) and here's a group that I hold in high esteem honoring me.

I consider it a blessing and huge honor."

Citing his work in the area of HIV/AIDS, NABJ President Sarah Glover praised Henry for his activism in a critical area for all communities. He continues to be a vocal advocate for those infected and impacted by the disease.

"Bobby Henry exemplifies the spirit of Angelo," Glover said. "Active in his church,

the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) and Omega Psi Fraternity, while also publishing an award-winning weekly newspaper, Bobby continues to serve and lead by example."

Henry's activism motivates him to become involved in impoverished communities through ministry. It is not uncommon to see Henry and several of his friends in these blighted areas of their city in prayer circles on the street, sometimes with known drug dealers or mothers praying for their children.

Henry attended Bethune-Cookman College before transferring to study journalism at Florida A&M University where he was a member of the famed Marching 100 Band. He later moved closer to home

The Dallas-Fort Worth Association of Black Journalists (formerly the Dallas-Fort Worth Association of Black Communicators) will present its 28th annual Urban Journalism Workshop for high school and

to attend Florida Memorial College.

After graduation, he went to work at the family-owned Westside Gazette, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, continuing the legacy his father began in 1971. In response to negative media coverage and the refusal of the local daily paper to print a retraction, businessman Levi Henry secured advertisers to publish his own paper.

Pointing out that the birth of the Westside Gazette and NABJ occurred in the same decade and with similar missions, Glover said, "It is important that we continue to tell our stories and speak truth to power.

Bobby uses his publication and his faith to serve not just his local community, but communities around the world, just like Angelo did."

Besides being appointed by then-Governor Jeb Bush to sit on The Florida Black Business Investment Board, Mr. Henry has been active on the boards of numerous organizations, including the Negro Chamber of Commerce and the NNPA. He is also an active participant with the Fort Lauderdale Branch of the NAACP (life member), New Mount Olive Baptist Church (deacon), McDonald Lodge #70 A.F.&A.M. and his fraternity, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. (life member). He is the current president of The Florida Association of Black Owned Media, Inc. Henry will be presented the award during the NABJ Convention in New Orleans, Louisiana, which takes place Aug. 9-13, 2017.

I Messenger FROM THE HILL

by Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson

Over the last 30 plus years – my time and work has been dedicated to serving those in my community and working to bring about better opportunities for the people in Texas and our nation.

Americans are working hard every day to make ends meet for themselves and their families – by working more than one job at time, taking out student loans for advanced degrees to gain a competitive advantage in the job industry, teaching in public schools, etc. There are other countless ways that Americans continue to push forward with hard work with an expectation that there will be an investment that is beneficial to them. However, after reviewing President Trump’s current initiatives in his budget proposal, these cuts are an apparent attack and atrocity to working class Americans, seniors, students, teachers and residents of every community.

Alongside my constituents I paid attention during the last campaign cycle and listened to the roaring rhetoric of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump who founded his campaign on “America First” and “Make America Great Again”. He pledged to preserve Medicaid and Social Security yet this budget proposal reflects differently –there is nothing great or American about this proposal.

As Americans we pride ourselves for being servants of others and helping our neighbors. Well from one American to another, I do not see how this budget plan is positioning us for investment in our local communities across the nation. The focus should remain on finding solutions to better educate, protect the health and wellness of all Americans, provide economic stability with job creation, and allow the social safety net to protect the most vulnerable in our communities at all times.

Once again, the president broke his promise, “there will be no cuts to Social

20

MAY 26, 2017

About The Budget

Security, Medicare, and Medicaid,” which he tweeted in May 2015. The recent budget proposal from the Trump administration provides drastic cuts to Medicaid spending by $610 billion over 10 years. The proposal would also cut Social Security Disability Insurance, which covers approximately 10 million people. The Administration went as far as decreasing funding for Meals on Wheels, a program which many seniors enjoy and benefit from weekly.

Additionally, families that benefited from SNAP will be impacted, the budget would shift $116 million to states.

Another promise broken once again

by President Trump, “The well-being of the American citizen and worker will be placed second to none….” I have no clear understanding of how we plan to promote an investment in our younger and current generation’s future if we plan to take away opportunities for them to receive education and job training.

This is a dangerous assault on public education. Whether in the form of tax credits, vouchers, or so-called educational savings accounts, Secretary DeVos and this administration will use any means necessary to advance the for-profit privatization of our children’s’ education at the expense of millions of students from preschool through college and beyond.

Instead of giving public schools and our teachers the resources and professional development services they need to provide our children with excellent, high-quality education, the proposed budget would slash more than 22 important educational programs. And

the budget would severely slash college affordability programs like the Pell Grant and the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program which provides a strong incentive for students to commit to 10 years of public service as public defenders, social workers, etc. These cuts would eliminate class-size reduction efforts, physical education, music and art programs, teacher training, and additional important student and teacher services.

President Trump made promises to fight for working class families, seniors, students, and individuals who want a competitive advantage in America so I would strongly urge my colleagues on the other side to oppose his proposal. And in the meantime I will work to ensure every child has access to a high-quality, affordable public education, that seniors are not forgotten and left struggling, and that students have a competitive advantage in the work force.

Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service.
