As the storm interrupted numerous political campaigns across Florida, including his own, Scott warned it could come ashore in the next couple of days with maximum sustained winds of 110 mph.

“We’ve never seen a storm like this hit this (the Northwest) part of our state,” Scott said after a briefing Monday afternoon at the Pasco County Emergency Operations Center in New Port Richey.

CRL Calls for Firing of CFPB Fair Lending Official Who Used N-Word

All too often, politicians forget about the communities which they serve and get caught up in THE GAME. This is especially easy to do when political bedfellows are creeping nearby. In some cases, the bedfellows are called lobbyists who raise thousands of dollars for campaigns in exchange for voting favors. In other cases, they are called longtime friends who see themselves as the puppet masters – lurking behind the scenes and pulling all the strings.

In the Black community, these bedfellows rarely live in the communities that are being raped of vital services, projects and programs.

When you allow undesirables to share your bed, it becomes tainted.

You are subject to become infected with many of the political ills that have damaged our leaders.

A Five HundredYear-Old Shared Histor y Hundred-Year-Old History

By Stacy M. Brown, NNPA Newswire Correspondent

The Transatlantic Slave Trade Part III: Africans Are Transported as Cargo

“From the moment when Europeans took their slaves from a race different from their own, which many of them considered inferior to other human races, and assimilation with whom they all regarded with horror, they assumed that slavery would be eternal,” historian Winthrop D. Jordan wrote in his dissertation, “White Over Black: American Attitudes Toward the Negro.”

“It started with slave ships…

There are more records of slave ships than one would dream. It seems inconceivable until you reflect that for 200 years ships sailed carrying cargo of slaves.

How can man be nonviolent…in the face of the…violence that we’ve been experiencing for the past (500) years is actually doing our people a disservice in — fact, it’s a crime,it’s a crime.”— Public Enemy- “Can’t Truss It.” The transatlantic slave trade is often regarded as the first system of globalization and lasted from the 16th century through much of the 19th century.

However, the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers of America provided one of the least often heralded but most essential roles in the movement’s success.

Better known as the United Automobile Workers or UAW, the union was responsible for, among other things, posting the cash bond needed to have Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. released from a Birmingham jail and later, called attention to Apartheid in South Africa and the incarceration of freedom fighter Nelson Mandela.

“We have never left the movement,” said Ray Curry, UAW’s International Secretary-Treasurer and member of the Daimler Supervisory Board, whose core functions include the control and monitoring of important corporate decisions for Daimler AG, the German

political, socio-economic and banking systems that supported it, constitutes one of the greatest tragedies in the history of humanity both in terms of scale and duration.

The transatlantic slave trade was the largest mass deporta tion of humans in history and a determining factor in the world economy of the 18th century where millions of Africans were torn from their homes, deported to the American continent and sold as slaves, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization – or UNESCO. The transatlantic slave trade that began about 500 years ago connected the economies of three continents with Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, England and France acting as the primary trading countries.

“The transatlantic slave trade transformed the Americas,” wrote Dr. Alan Rice, a Reader in American Cultural Studies at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston in the United Kingdom.

“Three factors combined to cause this transformation.

Large amounts of land had been seized from Native Americans and were not being used,” Rice said. “Europeans were looking for somewhere to invest their money and very cheap labor was available in the form of enslaved Africans [thus] the Americas became a booming new economy.”

The transatlantic slave trade also formed an essential bridge between Europe’s New World and its Asia trade and, as such, it was a crucial element in the development of the global economy in the 18th century, Professor Robert Harms wrote for Yale University’s “Global Yale.”

Harms, a professor of History at Yale and chair of theCouncil on African Studiescontinued: “There was one basic economic fact – little noticed by historians – that provides the key to the relationship between the direct trade and the circuit trade.

“When a French ship arrived in the New World with a load of slaves to be bartered for sugar, the value of the slaves equaled about twice as much sugar as the ship could carry back to France. For that reason, the most common form of slave contract called for fifty percent of the sugar to be delivered immediately and the remainder to be delivered a year later.

“The second delivery carried no interest penalty, and so the slave sellers were in effect giving

the buyers an interest-free loan.”

In total, UNESCO estimates that between 25 to 30 million people — men, women and children — were deported from their homes and sold as slaves in the different slave trading systems.

More than half – 17 million – were deported and sold during the transatlantic slave trade, a figure that UNESCO historians said doesn’t include those who died aboard the ships and during the course of wars and raids connected to the slave.

“Growing up in south Florida, Mental health was not discussed in my household or community. In fact, I didn’t learn how much my family of origin and the environment I grew up in influenced me. However, after studying psychology and family therapy, I saw clearly how my past directly impacted my present. I saw how my mind was shaped to believe that I would never amount to be anything. I was angry and felt hopeless. I had to get professional help. Many of our young men and women are thinking and feeling the very same things. Hopelessness, depression, anxiety, and even suicidal thoughts. But there is that stigma. How do I then bridge that gap between my knowledge and what the young people need? Simple. I became the therapist I needed 15-20yrs ago. It started by giving back. I speak throughout south Florida on the importance of Mental Health at various community organizations. Then I created a space at my private practice and a culture that is welcoming at Beach Stone Counseling. Our goal for every client we encounter is for them to be SEEN, be HEARD and be VALUED.”

Flor ida Democr atic P ar ty ffiles iles la wsuit tto oe xt end V oter R egis tr ation in w ak e Florida Democratic Par arty law ext xtend Vo Regis egistr tration wak ake of Hurricane Michael On Tuesday morning, the Florida Democratic Party filed a lawsuit to extend the October 9th voter registration deadline

in the wake of Hurricane Michael, which is set to devastate parts of Florida’s Panhandle. If Secretary Ken Detzner does not

extend the voter registration deadline in affected areas by one week, thousands of eligible voters will be disenfranchised.

The complaint outlines the constitutional reasons for requesting the lawsuit, arguing

Jesse LLouis ouis Jackson is Our Civil Rights Icon

By Julianne Malveaux Rev. Jesse Louis Jackson turns 77 on October 8, 2018.

Nobody has led a less storied life. He first took a public stand for civil rights when he was just a kid attempting to use the library in his hometown of Greenville, S.C. His activism brought him to the attention of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and he served Dr. King for years before his assassination.

From then, Rev. Jackson founded and led Operation Breadbasket, the Rainbow Coalition, and the Rainbow/ PUSH Coalition. Along the way he ran for President twice, gaining millions of multiracial votes and enough support to provide him with significant

Jackson changed the way that African American people saw us politically. Before him, we thought we could not make a difference. Because of him, we know that we can.

Before him, we did not believe, in his words, that “the hands that picked peaches could pick Presidents.”

that the 1st and 14th amendments of the US Constitution are violated.

From the suit filed: “Although the Secretary has proposed a single-day registration extension in some counties to

accommodate a subset of voters affected by Hurricane Michael, his “solution” is insufficient and confusing. It does not adequately protect the voting rights of Florida citizens who cannot register to vote by the

influence on Democratic platforms.

One of the most important things about Rev. Jackson is the way that he empowered others. When I listened to the “Colored Girls” – Minyon Moore, Yolanda Caraway, Leah Daughtry and Donna Brazile – speak their truth at the National Museum of African American History and Culture on Oct. 1, I was reminded that Jackson has been pivotal in the lives of so many African American political figures. We can call the roll, and name names, but I won’t do that for fear of leaving someone out. What I will say is that there would be no President Barack Obama were there not a Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm who ran for President in 1972, nor a Rev. Jesse Louis Jackson, who ran for President in 1984 and 1988.

Jackson changed the way that African American people saw us politically. Before him, we thought we could not make a difference. Because of him, we know that we can.

Before him, we did not believe, in his words, that “the hands that picked peaches could pick Presidents.” Because of him Stacy Abrams is a possible winner (if we vote) as governor of Georgia; Andrew Gillum is a possible winner as governor of Florida, and unlikely candidates for Congress are poised to win. Thanks to Rev. Jesse Jackson, African American people claimed political audacity.

We don’t have to wait our turn, follow the rules, and defer to the status quo. We can, like Ayanna S. Pressley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Lucy McBath, just buck up against the system and decide to do it our way. We don’t have to climb up the ladder of a broken party system or wait for the blessing of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Instead, we can step out when the time is right, and the possibilities are there.

Nearly 45 years after his historic run for President, Rev. Jesse Louis Jackson is engaged in multiple fights. He is fighting for social and economic justice, as he always has, ever since he defied library protocol and insisted on his right to have access to a taxpayer funded public library. He is fighting police brutality and the unnecessary murders of young Black men like Chicago’s own LaQuan McDonald. He is fighting for young people to thrive in a nation that is biased against them.

And he is in the personal fight of his life, fighting Parkinson’s disease as passionately as he fights injustice.

‘Monstrous’ Michael Takes Aim at Florida Coast (Cont'd from FP) “Steady to rapid strengthening is forecast during the next day or so, and Michael is forecast to become a major hurricane by Tuesday or Tuesday night,” according to the National Hurricane Center.

Mark Wool, warning coordination meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Tallahassee, said the storm will be more damaging than Hurricane Hermine, which hit Tallahassee and other areas of the Big Bend in 2016.

“Hermine was a marginal Category 1 storm. We are talking about a significantly higher level of wind,” Wool told The News Service of Florida. “In Hermine, it knocked power out to part of the city (Tallahassee) for a week. There are a lot of trees, not just in Tallahassee, but in all the surrounding parts of the Big Bend, up into Georgia and over the Panhandle.

So, power outages should be expected, and they are going to be of a lengthy duration.”

Wool raised concerns about potential storm surge in Franklin County’s Apalachee Bay, which he described as the “second-most vulnerable stretch of coastline in the entire nation for storm surge, because of the shape of the coastline. It funnels the water right up in there.”

Hermine made landfall in the St. Marks area and moved north through Tallahassee.

While it remains unclear where Hurricane Michael will hit, Wool said it would be more powerful than other storms that have damaged the eastern Panhandle and Big Bend.

“There hasn’t been a major hurricane landfall in that part of the Florida coastline since the late 1800s. So, no one alive in this part of the world will have experienced a hurricane of this strength in this part of the state,” he said. “If you think, ‘Oh, I rode out Hermine and I can handle it this time around,’ you might want to reconsider for this one.”

A hurricane warning covered Florida’s Gulf Coast from the Alabama state line to the Suwannee River. A tropical storm warning was in place from the Suwannee River south to Chassahowitzka in Citrus County and for Alabama.

A storm-surge watch was in effect from the Okaloosa-Walton County Line to the Anclote River near Tarpon Springs.

With public schools closing throughout the region, Florida State University announced it was shutting down through the end of the week, and evacuation orders have been issued in Wakulla, Franklin and Gulf counties.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has activated the state’s pricegouging hotline for consumers in the Panhandle and Big Bend.

The auto club AAA said Monday the projected path of Michael would keep the center

of the system east of most oildrilling rigs and refineries along the Gulf Coast. That means it shouldn’t directly impact gasoline supplies or prices at the pump in Florida.

Scott has activated 1,250 members of the Florida National Guard, with another 4,250 on standby.

Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam said the Florida Forest Service and the Office of Agricultural Law Enforcement are preparing teams to support urban search and rescue operations.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has also designated 40 law-enforcement officers for rapid deployment.

Earlier Monday, Scott expanded the state of emergency he declared on Sunday from 26 to 35 counties. Scott also asked President Donald Trump for a declaration that would help provide federal assistance.

Meanwhile, the Division of Animal Industry has suspended restrictions on the movement of pets and livestock to allow residents to evacuate more easily.

With widespread power outages expected, Scott said he wants local governments to confirm that mutual-aid agreements with electric utilities have been signed so there is no delay in restoration.

Amy Zubaly, executive director of the Florida Municipal Electric Association, said in a news release Monday that the association has been lining up mutual-aid crews from across Florida and the Southeast.

“Our goal is to have at least 150 crew members pre-staged in Tallahassee tomorrow in advance of the storm’s landfall with the remainder prepared to arrive Thursday,” Zubaly said in a prepared statement.

In 2016, Scott clashed with Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, now the Democratic candidate for governor, over the city’s response to Hurricane Hermine. Tallahassee operates a municipal utility.

Late Sunday, Gillum’s campaign announced he scrapped campaign stops planned Monday and Tuesday in South Florida to return to Tallahassee to “focus on preparing the

city of Tallahassee and residents” for the storm.

Gillum’s mayoral office separately sent out a release that said he “reached out to Governor Scott with an update on the city’s efforts.”

Scott was asked Monday if he was purposely avoiding Gillum by going to the Pasco County Emergency Operations Center, which was outside the forecast path of the storm.

“This isn’t about politics.

This is about keeping people safe,” said Scott, who attended Trump’s midday appearance at the International Association of Chiefs of Police annual conference in Orlando.

Scott also appeared Monday at the Bay County Emergency Operations Center in Southport and traveled to the Escambia County Emergency Operations Center in Pensacola.

Incumbent U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, who is being challenged

by Scott in the November election, also visited the Bay County and state emergency-operations center Monday.

The lawsuit goes on to explain that “Voters will face significant hurdles to registration because of the disruption caused by Hurricane Michael. Voters attempting to register online may face internet outages due to the storm.

FDP Chair Terrie Rizzo released the following statement in response to the lawsuit: "Thousands of eligible Florida voters who are complying with evacuation requests and preparing for the storm may not have the opportunity to register to vote as a result of Hurricane Michael. Governor Scott and Secretary Detzner have failed to adequately protect the rights of these eligible voters, and should extend the deadline one week in light of Hurricane Michael. As Chairwoman of the Florida Democratic Party, we are encouraging people to listen to their elected leaders, ensure the safety of themselves and their families during the course of this Hurricane and we hope that Governor Scott and Secretary Detzner will comply with our requests, so that Floridians who are focused on keeping themselves safe are not unnecessarily prohibited from their constitutional right to vote.”

Investigation into Accusations by Rep. Ellison’s ex-girlfriend finds charges “Unsubstantiated”

By Lauren Victoria Burke, NNPA Newswire Contributor An investigation regarding alleged abuse claims by the exgirlfriend of Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison, who is now running to be Minnesota’s Attorney General, have been found to be “unsubstantiated.”

Attorney Susan Ellingstad conducted the investigation into the claims. Ellingstad is a partner at the same Minnesota law firm as Charlie Nauen, the lead lawyer for Minnesota’s DemocraticFarmer-Labor party.

“Addressing this allegation has been especially challenging given the important national moment we are in. I believe women who come forward must be heard, and to have their allegations fully investigated,” Rep. Ellison said in a statement. Shortly after the accusations by his ex-girlfriend were made public, Ellison said in a statement that, “Karen and I were in a long-term relationship which ended in 2016, and I still care deeply for her well-being.”

A draft report investigating the claims of Karen Monahan, who dated Ellison for three years, was obtained by The Associated Press. Monahan’s claims first surfaced on August 11 via her son, Austin Aslim Monahan, on Facebook shortly before Ellison appeared on the ballot in the Minnesota primary on Aug. 14.

Ellison won the primary by a sizable margin.

Trio of Surgical Residents share The Hopes, Expectations of Being Black, Female and Physicians

L to r: Dr. Avianne Bunnell, Dr. Kiandra Scott, and Dr. Quiana Kern are surgical residents who have made history as the first Black doctors accepted into their respective programs at Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC).

CHARLESTON, SC — For one resident, being a surgeon is an opportunity to ‘fix’ people.

For another, it’s a chance to develop long-term relationships with patients and nudge them onto healthier paths. And for a third, it’s helping people reconstruct their appearances after cancer. All three are young, smart and ambitious that’s a given for any Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) surgical resident who’s bested dozens, if not hundreds, of other applicants to win a spot in one of the integrated programs that accept one intern each year.

They’re also all black women, which makes them part of an even more select group.

African Americans represent between 2 and 10.2 percent of surgical residents, depending on the specialty, according to a

January 2017 article in the Journal of Surgical Education.

At MUSC, medical doctors Avianne Bunnell, Kiandra Scott and Quiana Kern comprise more than 20 percent of the 2017-18 class in the three integrated surgery programs: vascular, plastic and cardiothoracic. Integrated surgery programs are five- to six-year programs that take residents directly from medical school, unlike traditional programs that require doctors to complete a five-year general surgery residency before training in a specialty.

They’re each the first black doctor accepted into their respective programs, two of which are relatively new. Scott is the first resident ever in the plastic surgery integrated program and Bunnell is only the third resident in the vascular integrated program.

Diversity is important to MUSC, which has made “Embrace Diversity and Inclusion” one of the five pillars of its Imagine MUSC 2020 strategic plan.

Research has shown that diversity in the health care workforce improves access to care and leads to better patient outcomes, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges. It’s also crucial in biomedical research, because researchers ask different questions depending on their own backgrounds and experiences, according to the association.

Inclusion goes beyond diversity. In “The Transformation of Academic Health Centers: Meeting the Challenges of Healthcare’s Changing Landscape,” the authors compare diversity and inclusion to hosting a party.

CRL Calls for Firing....

(Cont'd from FP) Blankenstein’s personal Twitter account posted racially charged comments.

Keep in mind that Blankenstein was hand-picked by CFPB head Mick Mulvaney. Patrice A. Ficklin, a CFPB career staff member and Director of its Office of Fair Lending and Equal Opportunity reports to Blankenstein and is quoted in the Post article.

Ficklin said, “And while he has been collegial, thoughtful and meticulous, I have had experiences that have raised concerns that are now quite alarming in light of the content of his blog posts — experiences that call into question Eric’s ability and intent to carry out his and his Acting Director’s repeated yet unsubstantiated commitment to a continued strong fair lending program under governing legal precedent.”

By October 1, Anthony Reardon, National President of the National Treasury Employees Union, advised CFPB of its dissatisfaction with the Blankenstein blogs.

“There should be zero tolerance for comments that Blankenstein has admitted authoring and nothing less than swift and decisive action is called for,” said Reardon. “That someone with a history of racially derogatory and offensive comments has a leadership position at CFPB reflects poorly on CFPB management and your commitment to fulfilling the mandate of the agency to ensure that discriminatory and predatory lending practices are stopped.”

Two days later, on October 3, the Center for Responsible Lending (CRL) publicly called for Blankenstein to be fired.

“Mr. Blankenstein must be removed from his post and this must be combined with a demonstrable commitment by (Read full story at: www.thewestsidegazette.com)

Citing doctored evidence, including an exclusive NNPA Newswire report last month that revealed tapes used to convict Bill Cosby were doctored, attorneys for the comedian have formally begun the process they hope will win his release from a Pennsylvania prison where he has spent the past two weeks.

More importantly, Attorney Joe Green and the other members of Cosby’s team are hoping their motion for post-sentencing relief is just the start of

clearing the comedian who was found guilty of three counts of aggravated indecent assault in April.

Last month, Montgomery County Judge Steven O’Neill sentenced Cosby to serve three to ten years in state prison.

In their new court filing, Cosby’s attorneys said the “Verdict was against the weight of the evidence with respect of whether the offense occurred, if at all, within the 12-year statute of limitations.”

The defense introduced business records demonstrating that Cosby was not present in the place alleged during the time that Andrea Constand asserted. O’Neill refused to rule on the statute of limitations and, almost inexplicably, referred the matter to jurors to decide but the jury panel never considered it.

Politicians and Their Bedfellows (Cont'd from FP) love it when politicians visit our churches, our meetings and our community events.

When it comes right down to it, however, what are some of these politicians really doing for us? What was the last big ISSUE that one of them pushed? Who are they really serving to warrant the taxpayer- funded salaries and retirements that they make?

Why does it take months to get an appointment with them for a community issue? On the other hand, why do the bedfellows have immediate and constant access at our expense?

They smile, hug and tell us jokes, they stay for a few minutes at events……but what are they doing the rest of the time?

Oh yeah, they will support our organizations by buying several tables at events of which they allow us to choose who will occupy the table spaces because they conveniently find excuses not to be there.

They will even sponsor the events, but very rarely do you see these companies/politicians supporting Black-owned businesses.

While we think it’s strange for our politicians to think that they can literally lie and lye on dirty sheets, a few have played this game as a way of life.

They smile like a swan on top of the water, but underneath the water, they wiggle like a snake to get financial/political gain. We trust these politicians in every aspect during their term, and they rarely get caught with their hands in the ‘cookie jar’.

That’s not the case with some of Our politicians. They get caught in the bed with traces of cookies around their mouth; then they become irate when the press calls them cookie monsters. Don’t these highly skilled, educated and informed politicians know the

rule? “Boy/girl you can’t do what they do.”

As Blacks folks, we simply do not hold our politicians accountable. We don’t measure them on the issues that they effectively tackle. We don’t even require them to be prepared when they take office.

Instead, we are comforted by the occasional email and letter that arrives at the in-box or the mailbox reminding us of another meeting where nothing is accomplished. We are comforted when they tell us that they are a product of the community — as if that is a qualification for holding public office. In the meanwhile, the common person really suffers from THE GAME and the lobbyists sit back and make a killing for simply pulling strings and at the end of the day, after all the money is made, nobody of color even benefits for ANY long period of time.

Some of our politicians are so comfortable with their bedfellows that they start playing games with their own people.

If these politicians cannot connect the dots on how they or their friends will be paid, you best believe nothing will get done.

Bottom line, once elections are over, we need to keep the push on. It is unacceptable for us to allow elected officials to ignore calls or refuse to hold meetings with constituents. It is unacceptable for politicians to trade the votes of hundreds or thousands for that of one or two. Politicians, be careful of your political bedfellows. They hurt all of us and make us distrust you.

The history lesson to be learned is to “never get in the political bed unless the sheets are cleaned.” Your bed should be considered a sanctuary, a place of refuge, a retreat for wholesome relaxation and not one for prostituted self- gain.

Don’t Believe the Hype – Vote, Our Lives Depend on It

By Derrick Johnson, President and CEO of the NAACP In the 2016 U.S. presidential election, we were wrong. Political forecasters, pollsters, elected officials, and even media told us that the 45thPresident of our nation would be a woman named Hillary Clinton, but they were wrong.

In many cases, the margin between who became president and who lost the race was a slim few thousand votes.

For example, in the 2016 Presidential election, the winning margin was less than 2 percent in Michigan, Florida, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and two other states. Though the popular vote was won by Hillary Clinton (in excess of 3 million votes) and the margin between victory and loss was small in many states, the “near victory” serves

as cold comfort to those communities whose civil rights are slowly being rolled back under the ominous weight and rise of racism and White nationalism.

Today, like in 2016, we hear the predictions of a powerful political shift in the House of Representatives and possibly the Senate. While these predictions are promising, they alone will not ensure that the interests of the Black community will be affirmed by the winners of the midterm elections.

The only way we will get the respect we deserve is to show up and show out at the polls in November.

When we take our well-deserved seat at the table, we know our impact is always powerful.

We’ve seen the collective power of Black women impact key races for of-

fice in special elections and primaries.

Black women, according to our recent poll which analyzed the61 most competitive midterm races, are tired of feeling disrespected by the Trump Administration and have made it a much higher priority to voice their displeasure at the polls. Black men are not far behind them. They too, along with other communities of color, are tired of the relentless racism permeating our nation and fueled by politicians.

As we approach November, we hear the faint yet consistent refrain– elections have consequences—ringing in our ears.

Today, as we fight against the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, we are reminded of the harsh reality that his presence would remake the Supreme Court of the United States into a bas-

Dangerous White A Matter of Trust Jennifer Carroll, Former Lies Florida Lieutenant Governor

By Wim Laven When I started teaching at the university level, about 1,500 students ago, I had no idea that I’d ever have to dedicate class time to address honesty.

Some brief reminders on plagiarism was all that I was used to. That Melania Trump could use some help, her “Be Best” speech was stolen from Michelle Obama, is good for a couple laughs. Over time truth has become quite an issue. What sense should my students make of a president who’d told 4,229 lies in the first 558 days of his presidency? What about his claims about “fake news?” Over and over Donald Trump cries out “FAKE NEWS” only for the story to be confirmed as true. My job is not to be an oracle of truth, I don’t lie, but that only encourages the return to authority as truth; I try to give the tools for navigating the terrain of dishonesty, but I’ll admit it is getting harder.

Why Conservatives (Still) Like Kavanaugh

By Matthew Johnson Senator Collins should be proud of herself. She will now potentially go down in history as the woman who made the overthrow of Roe v.

Wade possible — despite her allegedly pro-choice views.

Her name will go down in the annals of self-hating women along with the likes of Phyllis Schlafly and Laura Ingraham. Swing-vote Senators Jeff Flake and Joe Manchin will likely emerge unscathed, given that men are rarely held responsible for contributing to women’s oppression. Kavanaugh’s successful confirmation is case in point.

It may be tempting to fall into dismay, to grow red in the face, to wonder how this could have happened — how could these educated people so brazenly fall for the (bad) acting of Judge Kavanaugh and doubt Dr. Ford, who even Fox News’s Chris Wallace called “extremely credible”? Moreover, how could they ignore retired Justice John Paul Stephen’s argument that Kavanaugh, even if innocent of sexual assault and drunken disorderly conduct, is still unfit to hold the gavel due to the hyper-partisanship he displayed after Dr. Ford’s testimony? These are important questions, but I believe they miss the larger truth.

“…we the voters are now faced with a collection of suspiciously bundled, intentionally confusing and misleading amendments. The CRC conducted its business in a thoroughly irresponsible manner, under the heavy influence of special interest groups, and we are the recipients of their political game to embezzle us from our votes to support their hidden agenda.”

By Jennifer Carroll, Former Florida Lieutenant Governor According to the Florida Constitution, the Constitution Revision Commission (CRC), which meets every 20 years, is to make “its proposal, if any, of a revision to this Constitution” (Article 11, Section 2(c) Florida Constitution).

Very simply, the original intent of the CRC is to review our Constitution for minor corrections, be it reducing the size and scope of the document, cleaning up arcane or outdated language, and/or streamlining the document for efficiency and clarity. In other words, proposals that do not warrant the considerable effort of a joint resolution, a ballot initiative or a constitutional convention.

Well, the CRC basically ignored its mandate and has cobbled together a total of eight proposed amendments that, for the most part, do not even belong in our Constitution.

Their proposals encompass issues that are legislative in nature and should be handled by our elected representatives through a transparent process where the people have a voice, not by the CRC – a group of unelected lobbyists who represent no one but themselves, and have no accountability to anyone whatsoever.

The result, we the voters are now faced with a collection of suspiciously bundled, intentionally confusing and misleading amendments. The CRC conducted its business in a thoroughly irresponsible manner, under the heavy influence of special interest groups, and we are the recipients of their po(Read full story at www.thewestsidegazette.com)

Reason for Trump and Republican Success

By Kevin Palmer The words of Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th president of the United States, suggests lowly white men were the key to Donald Trump being elected president and are the key to successful conservative radio hosts like Rush Limbaugh.

According to a Snopes.com article titled, Did LBJ Advocate: ‘Convince the Lowest White Man He’s Better Than the Best Colored Man’? , President Johnson was asked why poor and middle class Republicans vote against their own interest. Johnson responded, “If you can convince the poorest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t know you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him someone to look down on and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”

For Trump, he picked their pockets of votes by promising to make America great again for white folk. For conservative radio hosts like Rush Limbaugh, he picked truth from their pocket and replaced it with lying white supremacy propaganda. The result is hordes of bamboozled Limbaugh followers who refuse to realize if not for white supremacy, they would have the highest unemployment rate, their children would be languishing in failing schools, and they would be targeted for mass incarceration.

Johnson’s words have been called the politics of resentment and divisiveness which is good for business.

Though the popular vote was won

by Hillary Clinton (in excess of 3 million votes) and the margin between victory and loss was small in many states, the “near victory” serves as cold comfort to those communities whose civil rights are slowly being rolled back under the ominous weight and rise of racism and White nationalism. tion of conservatism reminiscent of yesteryears when access to our democracy was parceled off according to skin color.

For the Black community, November is a watershed moment. If we fail to vote in numbers respective to our actual political power, future generations will suffer for our apathy. We don’t have to tell our people how to vote, only that we must vote as if our lives and our children’s lives depend on it. Because it does.

The NAACP has decided tofight back ,and we ask you to join us by using your ballot as the weapon of choice.

We ask you to visit NAACP.org to download and share resources to help those you know get registered and mobilized to vote. We are asking you to reach out to five people in your personal or social networks and bring them with you to the polls. If you understand the importance of this year’s elections, we know that you will sound the alarm, connect with others, and express your power by casting your vote.

Voting is not just about politics, it’s about fighting police brutality, preserving civil rights, providing public education, protecting the right of workers to organize, and giving those who need healthcare access to it. But most importantly, voting is about our ability to live as equals in a society that doesn’t always view us as such.

From Carswell to Kavanaugh

By Robert C. Koehler These words did in G. Harrold Carswell nearly five decades ago: “I am Southern by ancestry, birth, training, inclination, belief and practice. And I believe that segregation of the races is proper and the only practical and correct way of life in our states. I have always so believed and I shall always so act.

“I shall be the last to submit to any attempt on the part of anyone to break down and to weaken this firmly established policy of our people.

“If my own brother were to advocate such a program, I would be compelled to take issue with him and to oppose him to the limit of my ability.

“I yield to no man, as a fellow candidate or as a fellow citizen, in the firm, vigorous belief in the principles of white supremacy, and I shall always be so governed.”

Wow, white supremacy once had “principles,” but that was in 1948. Carswell, then a young man, delivered these words to an American Legion chapter in a small town in Georgia when he was running for a seat in the state legislature. Twenty-two years later, when Richard Nixon nominated him for the Supreme Court, these words from a different era were unearthed and Carswell immediately apologized: “I renounce and reject the words themselves and the thoughts that they represent. They’re obnoxious and abhorrent to my personal philosophy.”

The struggle for the Voting Rights Act taught us that people who love this country can change it. Don't give away your power - go vote.

-- Barack Obama

The Gantt Report Where do we go from here?

By Lucius Gantt Where do we go from here? Sometimes it is necessary for Black people to go back before they can move forward.

In less than 30 days, an election will take place in the United States and the election outcome could be far more important than the 2008 election won by former President Barack Obama.

It’s no secret that Republican candidates have been beating Democrats, Libertarians, Green Party and other candidates like Bata Drums at a Yoruba religious ceremony or like Rattler percussionists beat snares at the FAMU homecoming drum line!

Republicans win elections,not because they are “better”; they win because they are smarter, more unified, more politically scientific and more politically technological.

Republicans have won with political plots and schemes while Democrats have been getting over 90% of all Black votes cast with hopes and dreams and still losing!

After Judge Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed to a seat on SCOTUS, African Americans were told how bad the “I drink beer judge” would be for voting rights, civil rights and women’s rights when they should have been told how terrible things would be when votes were tallied in 2016.

Don’t take my word for it,but in order for there to be a Democratic blue wave that will orchestrate a definable change in the US Congress, there has to be a Black tsunami at 2018 voting booths across the nation!

Young, white high paid consultants from Iowa farmlands or from rural towns in Illinois will never be able to turn out 60, 70 or 80% of registered Black voters needed to propel Democrats to 2018 victories.

Letter to Editor When Kavanaugh won I felt the Same hurt as when Trump won

By James J. Hankins I stopped watching TV, reading the newspapers, discussing politics and stopped posting on Facebook for two weeks. It did not matter then because I knew we could not do anything until the next election. I will not take a break this time because the November 6th election is only a few weeks away. If we pout, curse, drink, throw something and say forget it, TRUMP and his cult members will win.

I am going to work harder because my life, families and friends’ lives can be taken away.

The GOP is now in control of all three (executive- legislative and judicial) branches of our government. This is our 2nd civil war and we must fight city by city and state by state because the GOP is just as bad or worse than the old south slave masters. You 2018 progressives are now all slaves to them.

What they did to Dr. Ford, they will grin and do the same to you. Please register, vote and encourage three or more to vote!!!

Amendment 6 Addresses Inequities in Justice System

By Dr. Charles Steele, Jr. Our founder, Dr. Martin Luther King, famously said “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

He made it his life’s mission to shine a bright light on the injustices he saw in this world and called for us all to work together to make right what is wrong.

Since Dr. King’s time on this Earth, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference has carried on his mission and raised our voices up for those who need to be heard.

Right now, victims of crimes are among those whose voices are falling on deaf ears. Too many crime victims feel ignored and left out of the justice process. Many victims feel the person who committed the crime against them has more rights than they do. Crime victims, many of whom are at the most vulnerable points of their lives, should be treated with equality and fairness.

They should be appropriately protected and recognized.

The Southern Christian Leadership Conference stands for equity. Protecting and strengthening crime victims’ rights falls in line with our pursuit of equality and justice. That is why I am proud to support Florida’s Amendment 6, also known as Marsy’s Law for Florida.

Here’s How Important Religion Is To African American Men A Pew Research study asked more than 35,000 Americans about their religious beliefs and practices.

Written By Nigel Roberts Black men are second only to Black women at the top of several measures of religious belief among Americans, a study said.

While men tend to be less religious than women, nearly 70 percent of Black men said they are religious—compared to 65 percent of Hispanic women and 55 percent of White woman—the Pew Research Center reported on Wednesday.

Black women are the most religious demographic in the nation at 80 percent, the analysis of 2014 data from more than 35,000 Americans across the county found.

Black men are less religious than Black women, but are still highly religious compared with men and women fr om other rafrom cial/ethnic groups.

and importance of religion in their lives.

When it comes to “absolute certainty” that God exists, Black men were again second only to Black women. About 78 percent of African-American men had no doubt that God exists. When asked the same question, 67 percent of White women and 65 percent of Hispanic women had the same level of certainty.

Roughly 86 percent of Black women believed in God without any doubts.

Historically Black churches remain an integral part of Black communities across the nation.

A separate Pew study, published in February, determined that the National Baptist Convention U.S.A. Inc. is currently the largest denomination among historically Black churches.

South Florida Youth Summit Returns for Sixth Year David Banner and Jasmen Rogers to Keynote while Jawan Strader hosts cocktail & Conversations Kickoff

By Isheka N. Harrison

JONES

The 6th Annual South Florida Youth Summit (SFYS) pre-sented by L.E.A.D Nation, in partnership with the Knight Foundation, will take place October 18-20 under the theme “Youth and Justice.” Grammy award-winning music producer, recording artist, philanthropist, speaker, actor and activist David Banner will serve as the keynote speaker for the adult only kick-off event, Cocktails & Conversations. He will be joined by Jasmen Rogers-Shaw, Political Strategist, and Emmy award-winning journalist, NBC 6 anchor and host of Black Voices. Jawan Strader will serve as the night’s host.

TheSummit,the brainchild of State Representative and

L.E.A.D. Nation co-founder Shevrin Jones, is designed to provide knowledge-based enrichment activities in an interactive setting to empower youth to live up to their full potential.

“This year people can expect us to go a step further in engaging young people in a movement, but this is a different type of movement. What we see in the political realm, in our communities and what’s happening on a national scale, we want to make sure we give young people the tools and knowledge they need to not only be advocates, but also key players in creating change within their communities,” Jones said.

As mentioned, the weekend will begin with Cocktails & Con-

David vs Goliath/Survivor

Now Playing out in Figi

By Gregg Reese OW Contributor Cole credits her local upbringing as preparation for her life successes and suitability for this challenge on in the Mamanuca Islands (Monuriki, the site where they filmed, is the same beach where the 2000 Tom Hanks epic “Cast Away” takes place) in deepest, darkest Fiji.

“Being from South Central LA, one cannot move through the area effectively, safely without having a keen sense of selfawareness and surroundings.

How will those skills apply while out on the island…I was definitely curious.”

A significant handicap was the fact that, at 57, she was twice as old as some of her competitors.

Armed with intestinal fortitude and bona fide street cre-dentials, she endured an eight-hour flight into the South Paci-fic. Upon her arrival, the city girl embraced the pratfalls

Meet Judie C. Nance

Author: Short & Virtuous Bedtime Stories for Children: Volume 1 Short & Virtuous Bedtime Stories for Children brings together timeless stories chosen especially for a children to help parents introduce them to the essentials of good character: Responsibility, Courage, Perseverance, Work, Self-discipline, Compassion, Faith, Honesty, Loyalty, and Friendship Inspired by her grandchildren, Judie C. Nance has published her first book, Short & Virtuous Bedtime Stories for Children, with the help of her family. Born and raised in Osceola, Ark., Judie often wrote and published short poems in her pastime, but her heart desired to do more. She later moved to Florida and now resides in Broward County.

Now a grandmother of four, she is inspired to do more for the children. Her first love at reading and writing came from bedtime stories with her own children. The more she did it, the more she discovered her passion. She started out writing stories for her oldest grandchild, Joshua, by using his name in the stories. Excited by this, it led to even greater enthusiasm from her grand-children, godchildren, and young family members, when the stories included in the book uses their name as well as others as the fictional “realistic” characters in the book.

The book is made of several short stories that encourage the reader to use their imagination.

Topics that are addressed for the reader include honesty, good character, responsibility,

faith, and more. While the book has a relation to her family and faith, it does not limit its readers to a specific race, culture, nor religion. It is an easy-to-read book for age five and up.

There is so much influence from social media, television, radio, and even cartoons nowadays that children are not getting as much positive substance as needed if they are not reading books that reinforce and reevaluate their values, encourage imagination, and reiterate morals. The lack of reading is detrimental to a child because it limits their understanding and vocabulary. Allowing them to only look at videos, cartoons, and limit them to picture-only reading as they get older, limits their ability to use their mind and speech in an impactful way.

It is important for children to explore their imagination. The book is not over populated with photos on purpose, to allow the reader to visualize on their own and draw any creative conclusion possible.

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you’ll go!

-Dr. Seuss Credit to the help of her daughter, Kirby Eyma, Judie was motivated to move forward with publishing the book. Now her book is available for purchase on Amazon, Lulu, and available for reading at the local Tamarac, African American Research Library, and the Main Libraries. Coming soon in October will be a book reading and meet the author at the Tamarac Library.

BANNER The finale will be the actual Youth Summit from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. on Oct. 20 at Miami-Dade College North Campus, 11380 N.W. 27 Ave. , Miami. Students will enjoy a full day of seminars, workshops, and panel discussions as well as have the opportunity to become active participants in creating positive and innovative social change in their communities.

of life without hot water or modern toiletry (contestants utilized native foliage as sanctuary from the ubiquitous cameras, or simply used the sea as a hy-gienic refuge).

The physical ordeal of this outpost from civilization was equaled by the mental stress of dealing in an unfamiliar environment. Mother nature added another hardship in the way of a cyclone on top of the torrential rains common to the area.

A strong constitution “Is my constitution strong enough for me to effectively manage myself when I am hungry, being bitten by bugs, sleep deprived and don’t have any privacy for weeks on end with a bunch of strangers, some of whom I may not like?,” she pondered.

Curiously enough, her most antagonistic relationship during the shoot involved an African American male, someone she initially thought of as a potential ally.

versations featuring Banner and Rogers-Shaw on Thursday, Oct. 18 at 7 p.m. at the Miramar Multi-Service Complex, 6700 Miramar Pkwy in Miramar.

During the evening, community leaders, educators, civic leaders and parents will unite for an interactive discussion on empowering youth to be change agents in the community.

The weekend will continue with the Leaders In Training (LIT) Youth Rally on Friday, Oct. 19 from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. at Broward College’s South Campus, 7200 Pines Blvd., Pembroke Pines. In addition to the L.E.A.D Nation and the Knight Foundation, the rally is also presented in partnership with the City of Miramar. Its goal is to groom high school students in the region to be effective advocates for issues they believe in.

Contractually, she is prohibited from revealing the gory details, and so the unfolding drama will not be revealed until the episodes air starting on Sept.

Appealing to the lowest common denominator?

“Their desperation increases as competition from cable grows and the old formulas and formats seem less and less attractive to American viewers.”

Washington Post critic Tom —Washington Shales “Reality TV to me is the museum of social decay.”

— Academy Award winning actor Gary Oldman Reality television ,in general, has had more than their share of detractors. No less a person than talk show pioneer Dick Cavett has compared the contemporary appeal of reality shows to the voyeurism of people who used to attend public lynchings as entertainment in a by gone era.

More than a few other notables within the media decry the popularity of reality shows, citing their possible negative influence on the psyche of our collective consciousness as a whole. There is palatable sadism in watching these nonprofessional performers struggling in hazardous, possibly embarrassing or humiliating predicaments.

Needless-to-say, television, and most forms of popular entertainment, have gone through the wringer of highbrow criticism at one time or the other.

On a personal level, Cole acknowledges her participation in “Survivor” for practical reasons. While many of her contemporaries have ridden the rails of the media (especially social media) for notoriety in the new category of fame called the “celebritant,” she envisions her tenure in the limelight as a opportunity to “build her brand.”

“There are business benefits to being on ‘Survivor’ as well,” she notes.

“Exposure of my brands to a national platform in a game I love was a no-brainer. As CEO of Our Weekly, the largest audited Black owned newspaper on the west coast and CEO of Kalaiaah, a natural and organic skin care line, putting myself out there for national exposure is high level strategy in disguise.”

Her “performance” captured digitally, Cole is bracing for vast exposure that may or may not be positive. One prominent show pigeonholed one of its contestants as the angriest Black woman in the world, while its host used it as a platform for high political office.

“My next challenge is to handle the stresses of watching the season where I can be portrayed negatively and where viewers will post negative

comments online about my personality, physical appearance...” she admits.

“In fact, two of my cast-mates have already started receiving such ugly comments on their social media accounts. People get lost in the fact that what they are watching on T V is a character, not the person and maybe more importantly, it is a game.”

which Democrats and others claim is an interference in independent parole board decisions and the people’s right to vote.

“Unreasonably curtailing parole releases and silencing the political voices of those who have been released from prison is bad policy, guaranteed to reproduce the unfairness and injustice we should all stand against,” Thompson said.

He was joined by a broad coalition of criminal justice advocates, formerly incarcerated people and community members at a state Senate Republican hearing on the State Parole Board’s conduct and the Governor’s restoration of voting rights to more than 24,000 people on parole.

Afterward, in a news release, many of the advocates said they were there to stand in support of voting rights for all people and the increases in Parole Board release rates, despite strong opposition from some Republican Senators.

They said the Parole Board should release more incarcerated people and that all people

on parole should have the opportunity to vote, regardless of their crime.

“New York State Senate Republican leaders need to stop playing political football with the lives of currently and formerly incarcerated people,” said Jose Hamza Saldana, a community organizer with the activist organization, Release Aging People in Prison Campaign.

“After 38 years in prison, four parole denials and having just voted for the first time in my life, these political optics are a direct attack on me, my family and all incarcerated and formerly incarcerated men and women,” Saldana said.

“There are thousands of parole-eligible and communityready people languishing in prisons across the state, some for over three decades. The Parole Board should release them instead of re-sentencing them to death by incarceration,” he said.

Saldana continued: “Parolees are returning citizens. We were once a part of (Read full story at www.thewestsidegazette.com)

a win, being up 14 to nothing at halftime; however, it was a different story in the second half.

All hell broke loose when the Bengals flipped a switch and outscored the Dolphins 27 to 3.

Coming in to this game, this was a must win for the Dolphins, especially with the Patriots winning their Thursday game.

Currently at 3-2 both the Dolphins and Patriots are tied for first place in the AFC East. Now that they are tied, their next three games are must win games. The Dolphins have two home games against the Bears and Lions, and they go back on the road against the Texans for a Thursday night game. The Patriots next three games are at home Sunday Night Primetime game against the Chiefs at home, and two road games against the Bears and Bills. The Bears have an improved defense this year after trading for Khalil Mack and they are currently leading the NFC North at 3-1.

Khalil Mack so far has 5 sacks in four games, and it will be hard for the Dolphins Offensive line to keep him out of the backfield.

They have given up three sacks to the Bengals yesterday, and the offense stalled out in the second half and could only put three points on the board. If the Dolphins stand a chance against the Bears' defense, they have to find a way to score, especially in the second half.

Overall, Ryan Tannehill played below average, completing 20 passes on 35 attempts, with 185 yards a touchdown and two interceptions. Throwing 57% completions is slightly above average, not great but not terrible either. The two interceptions were the killer, and the offense has got to find a way to

close out games. Andy Dalton’s stats were similar except he was able to pass for 248 yards with a touchdown and an interception, completing 20 passes on 30 attempts. The Dolphins were a lot better rushing the ball Sunday. Last week against the Patriots the Dolphins had a total of 56 yards rushing with 6 different rushers and no touchdowns, against the Bengals the Dolphins had a total of 128 rushing yards with four different rushers, however they still didn’t get a rushing touchdown. Frank Gore led the charge with 63 yards, and Kenyan Drake contributed with 46 and Tannehill rushed for 17.

With just two rushers the Bengals were able to gain 103 rushing yards. Joe Mixon was able to rush for 93 yards and score with an 18-yard touchdown pass. In the second half it was the Bengals defense that was

able hold the Dolphins to only three points and score on an interception and a fumble return.

After Sunday’s collapse, the Dolphins must go back to the drawing board and focus on the Bears who should not be taken lightly. It’s not time to hit the panic button just yet, however the Patriots are gaining on them and they are tied for first place right now. It’s getting closer to the midpoint in the season and after starting on a high note, the Dolphins are starting to look a little shaky, and most of the vulnerability is coming in the second half. If the Dolphins wants a chance to win next Sunday they have to work on closing out the games, especially when they have a double-digit lead at halftime.

Sunday October 14 the Bears are coming and bringing their defense with them.

NAACP President Calls Kavanaugh Confirmation Senator Kamala Harris Statement on Confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh “Devasting Blow” The Judge Kavanaugh the American people saw before the Judiciary Committee does not have the character, the temperament, or the judgment to sit on the highest court in our land.

His own partisan, evasive, dishonest, and aggressive testimony demonstrates that we cannot trust him to be a fair and unbiased jurist.

He is simply unfit. The Senate should have put partisanship aside and demanded better.

Move Signals Dark Days Ahead for Civil Rights Communities - America Deserves Better BALTIMORE —NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson released the following remarks regarding the Senate confirmation of nominee Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

“The U.S. Senate’s decision today to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court is devastating blow to our democracy. It threatens the integrity and legitimacy of the Senate and the Supreme Court as institutions, and the nation may never recover. This day will go down in infamy for the Senate’s abject failure to exercise its constitutional duty to advise and consent.

“The NAACP condemns this reckless & deeply partisan rush

to confirm Kavanaugh after critical issues were raised about his integrity, temperament, impartiality, history of sexual assault, and judicial record.

There is far too much at stake for every community not to have fully reviewed this nominee for the highest court in the land who will chart our future for a generation.

What Kavanaugh Means For Us

By Pedro Baez Make no mistake. If you’re a rightwing conservative, Brett Kavanaugh is your guy. If you’re a progressive, then Brett Kavanaugh isn’t your friend.

The selection of this nominee is something that will most definitely outlive those of us who were 60’s radicals as well as our children maybe.

If you want clean air, poison free water, reasonable gun laws, and voting rights, this individual will be the new ‘Iron Curtain’ when it comes to enjoying these liberties. Kavanaugh will put forth an agenda that will not only water down these rights, but will make more difficult to fight for them.

If there ever was a time to agitate, educate, and organize this is it. We all have a job to do.

We need to put forth a full court press. We need to educate the uninformed and get them to see that all is not right. What’s happening to others will eventually happen to them.

Just ask those who said Hitler wouldn’t last.

They can’t answer because they perished.

"The American people deserved better than this. Now more than ever we must harness our frustration and use our voices at the ballot box in November so this grave injustice of historic proportion never happens again. We must vote: our freedoms, our protections, and our lives depend on it.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. D.C.– U.S. Senator Kamala D. Harris, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, released the following statement on her vote on the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to be Associate Justice of the Supreme Court: “When Judge Brett Kavanaugh was first nominated, I said that he represents a direct and fundamental threat to that promise inscribed above the Supreme Court, ‘Equal Justice Under Law.’

Statement: Mayor Gillum on Confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh

TALLAHASSEE, FL — Recently, Mayor Andrew Gillum released the following statement regarding the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh: “Today is a dark day for

the Senate and a tough day for our country. The women who have come forward in the last few weeks, the people who have been making phone calls, making their voices heard in the halls of the Capitol and across the country - I hear you and I stand with you. Judge Kavanaugh will be a critical vote on the most divisive and contentious issues of our time and as Florida’s governor, I will use my platform and do everything in my power to protect Floridians’ access to healthcare and protect women’s rights and freedoms. I am disappointed, but we cannot give up and I will continue to fight for each and every Floridian,” said Mayor Andrew Gillum.

U.S. Senator Kamala D. Harris In the weeks since then, the basis for my concern has been confirmed.

Senate Republicans used raw power to rush an unfit nominee onto the Supreme Court when the American people have more questions than answers about Judge Kavanaugh’s suitability to serve.

When Dr. Christine Blasey Ford came forward with serious and credible allegations of sexual assault, not only was she attacked by Senate Republicans, she was mocked by the President of the United States.

The White House then prevented the FBI from investigating critical aspects of the allegations or interviewing key witnesses—not even permitting the FBI to interview Judge Kavanaugh and Dr. Ford.

As a former prosecutor, I have led investigations and I have tried these cases in a courtroom. I have spent countless hours with assault survivors.

And when I look at what has occurred over these few days, we have fallen short in fulfilling our constitutional duty to fully evaluate Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination. This process has

been a disservice to Dr. Ford.

This process was a disservice to survivors everywhere. And this process has been a disservice to the American people.

The Judge Kavanaugh the American people saw before the Judiciary Committee does not have the character, the temperament, or the judgment to sit on the highest court in our land. His own partisan, evasive, dishonest, and aggressive testimony demonstrates that we cannot trust him to be a fair and unbiased jurist. He is simply unfit. The Senate should have put partisanship aside and demanded better.

Millions of Americans are rightly outraged at this hasty and unjust process, which threatens to cloud the legitimacy of the Supreme Court of the United States. And they are rightly fearful that Justice Kavanaugh will undermine Roe v. Wade, roll back access to affordable healthcare, and side with powerful and partisan interests over the most vulnerable.

It is now up to each of us to continue to fight for justice and equality and hold our government accountable.”

A Proud Paper For A Proud People

Once an Accessory, Women are now a Necessity in Hip Hop others have become symbolic of what is possible. These very public celebrity relationships mirror inner city life speaking to every woman who has ever dealt with infidelity, outside children, prison stents and dreams deferred. The wife in the hip hop love story represents for every woman that has ever

In the early days of hip hop, we see women submerged in the role of the background dancer, video vixen or barely dressed pool party extra. That image is changing, and it is safe to say, women are becoming just as vital to hip hop as they are to society. Over the weekend, I attended the 2018 BET Hip Hop Awards Red Carpet and Show, and I was fascinated at the number of women present. Women represented as MCs, producers, journalists, managers, wives and friends.

According to a Forbes.com, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hip-hop has evolved since the 1970s [â&#x20AC;Ś] becoming the most popular genre in the world.â&#x20AC;?

While hip hop music continues to transcend trends, the depth of its impact will ultimately be defined by the feminine energy that is currently prevalent within the culture.

A HAPPY WIFE IS A HAPPY RAP LIE: The red carpet was in a frenzy when the royal couples of hip-hop waltzed in and posed for a few pictures. Gucci Mane and Keysha Kaoir as well as T.I. and Tameka â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tinyâ&#x20AC;? Harris had the journalist enamored. There is something super intriguing about a rockstar who is loved and knows how to love. Wives of hip hop like Beyonce, Kim Kardashian, Alicia Keys and

loved the bad guy. She is beautiful,submissive, supportive yet and just as gangsta as her counterpart. Her fans are fully engaged making her voice vital to the hip hop love story.

YET NO ONE TELLS A FAIRYTALE LIKE A WOMEN WOMEN. As media correspondents lined the red-carpet inches apart, I noticed female after female getting awards show coverage for their respec-tive media outlets. Once de-picted as nothing more than voiceless video models or b*tches and hoes, women are now the voice behind the story of hip hop.

Hip-hop has become our escape from the world. It is our connection to our men and the foundation of our strength. Like a diamond in the rough, inspiring our survival and mak-

ing us fearless story tellers.

BET.com writer Kai Miller says as a hip-hop journalist, she uses her â&#x20AC;&#x153;lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work to reflect the ugly truths about hip-hop as well as its promising future. I hope to inspire others to join me.

Our voices together hold power beyond measure.â&#x20AC;?

BUT WHAT IS A KINGDOM WITHOUT A QUEEN? Women continue to change the game when allowed to reign. The first ladies of hip hop are taking the industry from sexist to sexy, from urban to mainstream and from vulgar to vital. When Junior MAFIA released â&#x20AC;&#x153;Playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anthem: Lil Kimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s risky lyrics and sex appeal spawned worldwide attention.

Equally undeniable is the widespread notoriety that Nicki Minajâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s musical impact brought to Cash Money Records. The Queen Bees of rap are not just creating trends, but they are

topping charts, making money and changing the landscape of how essential female MCs are to the industry of hip hop.

Inevitably, as hip hop continues to grow in popularity, the role of women will become

more and more visible. Beyond the b*tches and hoes, we are the journalist behind the beat.

We are the Queen Bees and the wives that make these Rockstar lifestyle complete and newsworthy. We are making strides as producers and MCs. We are the mothers and supporters sitting front and center, and we are just getting started.

No longer accessories, we are vital to the growth of hip hop.

on 1,900 doors alone on Saturday, concentrating their efforts among infrequent voters in communities across MiamiDade, Broward and Duval counties. The message was simple â&#x20AC;&#x201C; talk to folks about coming out in support of Andrew Gillum, Senator Bill Nelson, and Amendment 4; the ballot initiative that would restore voting rights for 1.4 million Floridians whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve completed their sentence.

With Supreme Court confirmation hearings still fresh in many peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minds, NewFM Executive Director Andrea Mercado said that it was a critical that people remember that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to wait long to change the course of the nation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can bring forth a just and equitable state that buildsup communities and families by electing those who will vote for policies that will serve all people, not just the privileged few,â&#x20AC;? said Mercado. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not powerless. We have the numbers and this year, we have the opportunity to not just talk about change, but to actually vote it into existence.â&#x20AC;?

The Win Justice coalition includes Florida based groups Planned Parenthood, Service Employees International Union (SEIU), Center for Community Change Action (CCCA), Color of Change, New Florida Majority, Organize Florida, and Florida Immigrant Coalition Votes (FLIC Votes). So far, the coalition has knocked on over 800,000 doors through more

than 400 events since April, with a plan to exceed over a million doors well before Election Day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This election is one of the most important we have seen in our lifetime,â&#x20AC;? said Melissa Morales, Executive Director of SEIU Florida and Campaign Manager for Win Justice Florida. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Republican leadership in Washington and Florida have continued to lead by trying to divide us. We will not cower.

We will not be divided. Our communities have and will continue to stand united in the goal of creating a better life for ourselves and our families. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record-breaking volunteer action to get out the vote this November is a testament to that fact.â&#x20AC;?

Early voting in Miami-Dade County begins Monday, October 22. The New Florida Majority will continue their Get Out the Vote initiatives with several upcoming events including a no holds bar online discussion on Wednesday October 10 with political consultant Angela Rye.
