MY TRUTH

TEXAS METRO NEWS
Get to know YOU 40 years ago. Seems like an entire lifetime. And it was. The great thing is that I am still around to enjoy memories and people from that era. I’m older, yet wiser, I believe. This week I travel back in time, to a time when a lot was going and I thought I knew what I was doing and what I was really about. The year was 1978. In my world, we were one nation under a groove. We were getting down for the funk of it. I was three times a lady, could boogie boogie boogie with the best, loved the nightlife because I had night fever and I had to have that last dance on the

The Remarkable Courage of Dr. Ford From the Capitol By Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson
Millions of people throughout the nation and the world sat in resolute silence as Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, a highly trained researched psychologist at two of our nation’s top universities, painfully shared her story recently of how she was sexually assaulted three decades earlier in a home located approximately 30 minutes away from the Senate chamber
where she found herself. When asked she said that she was ‘one hundred percent’ certain about the identities of those who attacked her. During the more than three hours that she testified not a single word she uttered was contradicted. She was courageously noble, and she was more than believable. It was an unusually awkward mo-
ment on Capitol Hill. The male Senators on the panel that supported the nomination of the man whom Dr. Ford described as her principal attacker were frightened to question her. Instead they outscored their roles to a female lawyer. Any and all attempts to find holes in Dr. Ford’s testimony were resoundingly unsuccessful. Dr. Ford’s experience with the Senate panel was unlike that of Professor Anita Hill’s who after making her own allegations against a Supreme Court nominee, found herself ridiculed by many male members of the same committee who questioned her veracity, and suggested that she had imagined the incidents that she described. Like Professor Hill, who testified that a Su-
Brett Kavanaugh preme Court nominee had made unwarranted sexual advances, Dr. Ford was steady and unflinching during her testimony. Not once did she lose her composure or express outrage towards those who doubted her. Her demeanor was in sharp contrast to T:5” that displayed by the man she accused
when it came time for him to testify. It would have been easy for Dr. Ford to have remained silent about the incident and to have avoided the rampant press coverage, the personal ridicule and the awful abuse directed towards her family which forced them to flee their home and go into hiding. No doubt, she knew that her life would never be the same when she agreed to testify before a world audience. People of good conscience and character owe Dr. Ford a tremendous debt of gratitude for sharing her horrifically distasteful experience and its resulting pain, which she has endured for decades. A less courageous person would have remained unheard and suffered in silence as victims often do.
Eddie Bernice Johnson currently represents Texas’s 30th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives. Serving as a representative since 1993, when she was the first registered nurse elected to Congress.

Quit Playin’ By Vincent L. Hall “As a black American, it is a hightech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas, and it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you. You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the U.S. Senate rather than hung from a tree.� – Clarence Thomas Uncle Thomas read this lie under the white-hot lights of the Senate Judiciary trying room. Thomas returned to his home in an otherwise White neighborhood, bought for him by affirmative action entrances into the best white schools. His feet, would eventually rest next to his wife, who like his former wife looked nothing like the woman he once sexually harassed. Watching Brett Kavanaugh’s prepubescent and petulant behavior evoked
memories of Clarence Thomas. The trill tirades, the role-reversing portrayal as the victim and the contemporaneous temper tantrums, were all by design and all patently copied from Thomas’ “uppity black� attack. Kavanaugh’s whiny and quarrelsome grumblings uncovered my one and only true sin. If I go to hell tonight, you can rest assured it’s because I hate Clarence Thomas. One of us is destined to burn in hell. It will either be me for hating him or him for hating himself and the lineage that spawned his restless soul. There is no way I could justify all
of my reasons for despising Clarence Thomas in 600 words. My general angst is anchored in Thomas’ inability to confront racism and discrimination. Thomas is the proud product of affirmative action who works hard to deny those same benefits to anyone else of color. He’s a hypocrite armed with a grudge and a gavel! But for you newcomers, let me point you to the moment where I began to loathe this languishing lump of legalized lasciviousness. It was a 1981 article that appeared in the Chicago Tribune. During his barnstorming days as a Black Republican, Thomas constantly
pointed to his “sister on welfare� as an example of the “problem� with Black folk. ‘’She gets mad when the mailman is late with her welfare check. That`s how dependent she is. What`s worse is that now her kids feel entitled to the check too. They have no motivation for doing better or getting out of that situation.’’ Thomas depicted his own blood sister as the fabled ‘’welfare queen’’ that got Ronald Reagan elected. However, and according to the Tribune, Thomas` story was mostly a lie. Emma Mae Martin lived in a “beatup� frame house with a hole in the roof in Pin Point, Ga., a few steps from where she and her two younger brothers were born. Like her own father, the father of her children had abandoned her. When located, Emma was working two minimum wage jobs in order to support her family. She had received $169 a month for a five year period because she quit work to become caretaker to their aunt who suffered a stroke, but now she worked as a hospital cook and reported daily and faithfully at 3:00 a.m. She bore no animosity against her brother. “What about her children, who Thomas said were being indoctrinated into cycles of welfare dependency? As it turns out, Mark, 22, works as a carpenter. Christine, 20, recently was laid off from a bakery. Leola, 15, is still a student. Emma’s oldest boy, Clarence, (named for his miscreant uncle) served aboard the battleship Wisconsin during Operation Desert Storm.� Character matters. Clarence Thomas’ 27 years as water-boy and step-andfetch-it for Conservatives and Evangelicals has proven that he lacks the same. He has been on the wrong side of civil and human rights in every major case before him. He was resurrected by the Right after his lynching and he’s been “kowtowing� ever since. Brett insulted the court even more than Uncle Thomas. Promote him? Hell 2da Kava-Naw-Naw-Naw! Vincent L. Hall is an author, activist and award-winning journalist.

Our nation’s racist patriarchy
Our nation, these United States, are founded on the principles of racism
The Last Word and patriarchy. They are reflected in our very constitution, where enslaved persons were counted as a fraction of a person, and only men of property were allowed the right to vote. The filthy inequality at the foundation of this nation has now bubbled up and boiled over, now polluting every aspect of our lives. Patriarchy places men at the center of life, and women at the periphery. It suggests that women do not matter. It allows for the subjugation of women when they attempt to enter public spaces that have previously been earmarked as “male” spaces. Thus, there were no restrooms for women legislators in the US House or Senate, even as women entered those spaces. They
My Truth,
continued from front page groove line. Jimmy Carter was the President. Actually Democrats were running things: the Speaker of the House of Representatives was Tip O'Neill (D-Massachusetts) and the Senate Majority Leader was Robert Byrd (D-West Virginia). As far as governors, my home state, New Jersey had Democrat Brendan Byrne; my parents home state of Florida had Democrat Reuben Askew and my future home state Texas had Democrat Dolph Briscoe; and yes, Alabama had George Wallace! It was a scary time as serial killer Ted Bundy is captured in Pensacola, Florida and The Hillside Strangler, a serial killer prowling Los Angeles, claimed a 10th victim. Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds got his 3,000th major league hit. Yes, I was a fan and we can discuss the Hall
were only created when women demanded them. Of course, restrooms are just a minor manifestation of the hegemonic patriarchy that rules our nation. A great picture of our nation’s racist patriarchy was the visual of doughy and dissipated white men interrogating the amazingly composed Anita Hill as she reviewed her experiences with now Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Though Hill was persuasive, she was attacked in the vilest of terms, accused of nonsense like “erotomania," and even recently harassed by Thomas' unhinged spouse who was still seeking apology after two decades. Note to Thomas, take the phone from your wife when her meds are not working. In any case, Thomas is on the Supreme Court because white men chose to disregard the word of a Black woman, a decision that then-Senator Joe Biden says he now regrets. Thomas was confirmed by the narrowest margin in history 52-48. Here we go again. By the time this is published the matter of 45’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is resolved, but the issue of pernicious patriarchy will not be. Regarding Kavanaugh, he has been accused by
Dr. Christine Blasey Ford of sexual assault more than 35 years ago, when both were teens. She disclosed her accusations in a letter that California Senator Dianne Feinstein received in July, but did not share with the FBI until later, mainly because Ford asked for confidentiality. Ford has requested that the FBI investigate her assertions, and the Senate Judiciary committee is still fast-tracking the Kavanaugh vote. The outcome, while necessary, is not the bottom line. The issue is the way that racist patriarchy makes some offensive and illegal behavior acceptable. Privileged white male culture allows and encourages excessive drinking and obnoxious behavior toward women. It is excused because "boys will be boys." But what boys? Black boys, even accused of “reckless eyeballing”, are fair game for lynching! White boys on rampages are excused for assault, rape, and attempted rape. Can I call the name of Recy Taylor, the young Black woman who was walking home from church and raped by a gaggle of white men who thought her body their right? Can I remind us of the Texas gubernatorial candidate, Clayton Williams, who said that if rape was inev-
itable, a woman should "lay back and enjoy it”? Ann Richards beat him, but that wasn't quite the point. The point was that some man thought that rape was inevitable enough to "enjoy." Privileged white male culture allows a man who should not have been elected President to denigrate women on a regular basis. We are "fat" "dogs" and "liars." He bragged about grabbing women's genitals, and our society is so poached in pernicious patriarchy that 52 percent of all women still voted for him. They thought he was joking because, for too many women, patriarchy has so seeped into our consciousness that the abuse of women is a joke. If we women were honest, we would say that we have all cosigned patriarchy in the interest of keeping it moving. We have deflected the sexist comments that come our way, even as we cringe from them. We smile at men that we abhor because they may have decision making power in their hands. We dress up or dress down depending on the occasion and the way we have to play the game. We know the system is slanted against us, we know we still have to play, and we decide when we choose to blow the whistle, a whistle we could blow every single day. #Me-
Too is the tip of the iceberg because it fails to deal with race systematically, but also because it manages the evident and personal, not the institutional. In addition to being #MeToo women, we are mothers, sisters, daughters, and wives (hello Julie Chen Moonves), so some of us want to justify patriarchy for “our” men. Our sons, husbands, cousins, brothers “didn’t mean it” and could not be that bad. Wake up call -- if they violated a woman, they were THAT bad. If they raped a Black woman and you turned away from the accusation, you are wrong, you are horribly and complicity wrong. Tearing down the walls of pernicious patriarchy means attacking the very foundation of our nation. When we attack patriarchy, we also attack the racism that is also part of our foundation. Many have lined up to support Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. How many are equally willing to attack the pernicious racist patriarchial roots of our nation?
of Fame debate! The New York Yankees clinched their 22nd World Series championship, defeating the Dodgers 7–2 in Los Angeles and winning the Series 4 games to 2. Meanwhile, there was the mass murder/suicide of 909 Americans in Jonestown, Guyana under the direction of Jim Jones. Dianne Feinstein succeeded the murdered George Moscone as San Francisco, California's first woman mayor; Larry Doby became manager of the Chicago White Sox; Leon Spinks defeated Muhammad Ali for heavyweight boxing championship (I won’t say a thing here); Max Robinson is the first Black man to anchor network news; NASA names Black astronauts: Maj. Frederick D. Gregory, Maj. Guion S. Bluford, and Dr. Ronald McNair; there was Bob Marley’s famous “One Love" concert; and the first stamp of the U.S. Postal Service's Black Heritage USA series honors Harriet Tubman, famed abolitionist and "conductor" on the Underground Railroad Among the many births were: Tia
and Tamera Mowry, Zoe Saldana, Foxy Brown, Kobe Bryant, Keenan and Kel, Anthony Mackie, Usher, John Legend, Katie Holmes. Those transitioning included Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, composer William Grant Still, Painter Norman Rockwall, activist Harvey Milk, General Daniel “Chappie” James and Kenyan President Jomo Kenyatta. On the campus of Florida A&M University was really where the world began and ended for me. Which brings me to my truth. The Fearless Fang Gang under head coach Rudy Hubbard amassed an 11-0 record, making college football history by becoming the first team to win the newly-established Division I-AA (now Football Championship Subdivision or FCS) national championship. Dr. Walter Smith was the president of FAMU. There were quite a few high points. Just ask Vaughn Wilson, who told the Tallahassee Democrat, "Clemon Johnson (later went on to enjoy a career in the NBA) was here. We won the SIAC
and played in the national basketball tournament. The baseball team beat the University of Miami when they were the No. 1 team in the country.” On campus, I was involved in a number of activities. I was on the FAMUAN Newspaper and Rattler yearbook staffs, statistician for the Rattler men’s basketball team, and I even played on the girls’ softball team. In 1978, I became one of the 34 Elusive Ladies initiated into the Beta Alpha Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. I didn't have a boyfriend, but I was cool. I was living in the moment. Or at least I thought I was. And that was my message to my students at El Centro College recently as I encouraged them to fall in love with themselves. I laughed when I saw the picture accompanying this article, and I actually wanted to strangle Micheal Gilliam, who worked on the yearbook staff with me. He came across pictures from back in the day and decided to share on social media. So there I stood, looking like I knew all the
answers. Looking back, I know that I didn’t even know the questions! I told my students to get to know themselves. No matter how busy you are, spend time with YOU, and your thoughts. Listen and learn. Don’t think you know everything. Find a mentor and then, become one. Fortunately there were some people like the two sisters Patricia and Willie Mae, from Defuniak Springs, FL.; the beautiful wife of Marching 100 band director Dr. William P. Foster, Ann; roommate Ruby Angela Sheffield from Opalocka, FL, and numerous others, including my DST big sisters and line sisters; who helped me in the growth process. Don’t tell me you are grown. Actually you are always “growing,” or “evolving.” And change is good. We are a work in progress. We have to take the good and bad to become better. And FAMU prepared me to be the best! Are you prepared?

I was married for 12 years. I raised our son and his twin daughters from his first marriage. When we separated and divorced I was heartbroken. But all the children remained with me. They are adults now, all finished college, married with children and living wonderful lives of their own. I’ve never remarried. Recently after all these years my ex-husband married a very young woman. It works well for the local political life that he lives. He has a high-ranking position with the city and is constantly busy and on the go. Because of his career, I’ve always remained close to his mother, who is in her late 80’s, a widow, who raised her only son and everyone else on the block. She’s the nicest woman you could ever meet and has helped single mothers in our area with childcare for years. I lost my mother when I was young, so I’ve really enjoyed the bond that we share. She recently told me that, “I’ll always be her daughter-in-law (DIL) no matter
www.texasmetronews.com
Ask Alma by Alma Gill what.” I’ve always shopped, cooked her meals and taken her to her doctor appointments, but I understand this has to stop. My ex and his new wife should take care of her now, although I don’t see that happening. My problem is, now that my ex is remarried, I want to step out of the way when it comes to my mother-in-law (MIL). How do I get them to recognize their responsibility to step up and start taking care of his mother? — Robin Dear Robin, I hear you Robin, but I don’t believe you. You don’t wanna let go, nor should you. You love your MIL like you would your birth mother, and that’s fantastic. What a blessing you two are for one another. Sadly, your marriage didn’t last but your obligation to family remains unmovable. Maintaining your role as a stepmother and DIL was not an easy task, I’m sure. There’s a reason you did and it’s bigger
than you and your ex-husband.. Listen, the truth of the matter is the new DIL is not interested in caring for her MIL or she would have stepped up or paid someone to do it by now. In the same breathe, your ex couldn’t find his mother in the forest for the trees and that ain’t gonna change any time soon. When and if your ex and his new misses want to make a change, they’ll let you know. I’m sure both don’t find it broken, so there’s no need to fix it, at least not for now. Not to mention, your MIL probably wouldn’t welcome the change anyways. That’s why she told you your role, in her heart, will remain the same. I say, continue to be her caregiver. I know this isn’t ideal, but it’s doable. Do it out of love for family, not as a favor to your ex. Your MIL is in her 80’s, commit to loving her delightfully for the rest of her days. I promise you, your heart will be glad you did. — Alma

Night School NIGHT SCHOOL is a new comedy directed by Malcolm D. Lee, who directed last summer’s huge box office hit GIRLS TRIP. Lee, who also directed the BEST MAN series, is known for his romantic comedies with a heart. In NIGHT SCHOOL he teams up again with Tiffany Haddish and, with the addition of Kevin Hart, you have the perfect comedy with a heart. There are plenty of laughs with a few heart tugs mixed in. In NIGHT SCHOOL Hart plays a serious academic underachiever who quits high school and makes a very successful career for himself
selling BBQ grills, that is until he accidentally blows up his place of business while proposing to his supermodel looking girlfriend. Without a high paying job he quickly goes from driving a Mercedes to riding the bus. He also finds himself unemployable without his high school diploma, so he goes back to his old high school and enrolls in night school class to get his GED. Haddish plays Carrie the night school teacher, who’s just teaching the class to make a few extra dollars for her living expenses but, who really cares about her class of
misfits achieving. The class, led by Hart, steals the test results to their first exam causing their teacher to threaten them with expulsion and giving them one last chance to commit themselves to learn. She also forces Hart to get tested and finds out he has some serious learning disabilities. She uses several methods to teach Hart to focus, such as kicking his butt in kickboxing classes. The supporting cast features well-known character actors such as Rob Riggle and Romany Malco. The two play Hart’s classmates and both have some serious issues in

dealing with life and reality. They really keep the pace moving. The story doesn’t end, at least not right away, with a happily ever after ending, but it is a comedic version of an inspirational tale about getting second and even third and fourth chances. I howled throughout the movie and I loved NIGHT SCHOOL. The movie lasts 1 hour and 50 minutes and is rated PG-13 (I think it would have been a little funnier if it was rated R). On my “Hollywood Popcorn Scale” I rate NIGHT SCHOOL a JUMBO.
