Crime Among Our People
[or a revolutionary proposal for regenerating Community]
By Grace Lee Boggs
The escalating violence in Detroit makes this statement as timely now as when it was first published in June 1972 by NOAR (National Organization for an American Revolution). We sold tens of thousands of copies at 10c. Today it sells on the for $15.00.
* * * * *
Black people hustling, fighting, killing other black people its on all our minds. We are afraid to walk our streets, few of us go out after dark except in a car. We hesitate to leave our homes for fear that when we return, our few possessions will be gone. We dare not stop to talk on the streets with one another – because we are subject to being robbed or mugged by a black person or groups of blacks day or night. No one in the black neighborhood feels safe. Robbing, breaking in, snatching purses, stealing out of cars, garages and homes (often moving all the furniture out in broad daylight), selling property stolen in a neighborhood; youthful bandits roving around the clock in twos and threes, spotting places, things to steal all this is now a commonplace. Everyone in the neighborhood knows this, sees it day after day. Some people try to give the bandits a feeling of support in what they are doing. Others encourage the criminals by asking What do you have for sale today? With an eager eye out for a bargain, they buy loot stolen from a neighbor and thus subsidize criminal activities against themselves. In every block no less than one, more often three dope houses sell their poison like a corner drug store, often exchanging drugs for stolen radios, hi-fis, TV sets for which the owner has often made only one payment. No one pays any attention when drugs are openly sold on the streets. Few are shocked when as many as seven people are executed at one stroke in a drug war. WHAT HAS HAPPENED? How did all this become so normal and natural When did it begin? How long can we tolerate it and keep our sense of humanity? Do we really oppose crime any more? And if we do, is there anything we can actually do about it in our neighborhoods or must we just give up? Black people fighting, killing each other is nothing new. Crime and banditry are a common occurrence among all oppressed peoples, especially in periods of transition. But crime at the present level and rate of increase in black neighborhoods is unlike anything that has ever existed among blacks. 1967 was the turning point all over the U.S.A. Blacks in the cities rebelled city after city. From these rebellions came the idea that violence of any kind was legitimate as long as it was against the mans system. Thus the looting (which is characteristic of all rebellions) was equated with Revolution and became legitimized as a badge of militancy and blackness. From this point onward, crimes of every nature have become rampant. As white merchants and other whites fled the city, the chance for black youth to take out their rebellion in conflict with whites faded away. For a period black youth fought white youth in the schools. Then, as more schools became predominantly black, black students turned against each other BLACK ON BLACK. Prior to the rebellions and for a brief period immediately after, black neighborhoods had a real sense of hope and community closeness. After the rebellions older people felt that younger ones had stood up against oppression in a way that they had been unable to. Younger ones felt that in standing up against the system, they were carrying on and taking to a higher level the struggles by blacks in the past. But as crimes increased and the black community appeared to be unable to do more than cry Free the prisoners, what had been the black community began to turn into little more than a geographical area where blacks live, to rob and be robbed, to steal and be stolen from, to fear and be feared. CRISIS OF BLACK POWER MOVEMENT The failure of the Black Power Movement to provide revolutionary direction and perspective for our real problems, coupled with the Opportunism, Adventurism and Personality Cultism of Black Power leaders, has had a great influence upon the increase in crime. No revolutionary organization, based on revolutionary political principles and concrete programs of struggle, has come forward to give our people an idea of the struggle they must organize in order to achieve Black Power. For a brief period the Black Panther Party provided a channel for the militant feelings of black youth. But since its decline, the mass energies aroused by the rebellions have found no political outlets. Hence these energies are now turned inward upon blacks in the neighborhoods. The Black Power Movement did not define what Black Power must mean in terms of responsibilities for governing our communities. Hence the Black Power Movement has drifted into Cultism and Commercialism. If everything black is beautiful, if Anything Black goes, then why shouldnt blacks, in the name of blackness, hustle anything and everything from Soul Music to Soul Religion, from Soul Food to Soul Clothes? Thus Black Power has been transformed into an excuse for anybody to make a fast buck. Middle class blacks get their rake-off at the top from white liberals. Dropouts operate at the bottom among other blacks. Most obviously affected have been our unskilled black youth who are occasionally employed by seasonal work, but who are constantly being made expendable by technology. Even if they work a few weeks, they are soon thrown back on the streets, to live by their wits. Many end up stealing even from their own families or selling drugs to other youth, thus making a living by destroying the lives of others. Drugs and the use of drugs are a big reason for crime, but not the basic cause. The very nature of crime is changing as the capitalist system declines. Today, unlike the Depression of the 30s, when someone robs a house, he doesnt raid the refrigerator or rush off to buy food with the stolen money. Crime itself has become a way of life. The only consideration is fast money no matter how you get it. From junkies to pimps, people use the excuse that black people must do their own thing to survive in the mans system, justifying the worst kind of crime in the name of the black struggle. Having failed to give programmatic direction and revolutionary leadership in struggles to resolve the real grievances of black people, most Black Power militants and radicals make excuses for crime in our communities. So groups view the crimes of blacks against blacks as caused by external factors only, blaming the system for all crimes, ignoring the real concern among blacks about crime, talking only about survival from inevitable genocide. Others are jubilant that blacks have become militant or are afraid to question the widespread anti-social behavior of blacks, deluding themselves that by putting a political face on this behavior, they will psyche the system into taking the responsibility for providing jobs, better homes and schools, recreation and other reforms. Still others say that since the system is so bad, only a revolution can change things and meanwhile there is nothing we can do. WE CAN T DEPEND UPON THE SYSTEM We know that the system has systematically oppressed us from the day that the first slave ship landed in Africa. We know that racism has been the ideology by which capitalism justified killing off the Indians and enslaving blacks. We know that the racist-capitalist system has degraded us for 400 years, robbing us of the fruit of our labors, depriving us of education, lynching us in the name of Christian virtues, rendering us powerless and now more and more useless except to buy the fancy junk that pours off its production lines. We recognize that the system causes crime and even flourishes on crime, using crime to make more jobs for social workers, wardens, jailers, policemen, probation officers, counselors, judges, lawyers. But we will not accept crime because the system accepts it. We know that the system fosters crime. THAT IS WHY WE CANNOT DEPEND ON THE SYSTEM TO STOP IT. As people who are dedicated to changing the system in order to advance black people and all Humanity, we believe that it is our duty and that of all people who claim to be struggling to free black people to assume the leadership to break out of the vicious circle by which the oppressed are taking out their despair and frustration on each other. WHAT MUST WE DO NOW? FIRST, all those who claim that they are giving revolutionary leadership must accept the responsibility for projecting new standards for human behavior. These standards must make unmistakably clear that crimes like robbing, raping and vandalizing are unforgivable in any society and against any people. We must make clear that TRUST, DISCIPLINE, RESPECT, COURAGE, DEPENDABILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY TO COMMUNITY are absolutely essential to any people and especially to oppressed people who are fighting to get rid of their oppression. Such standards will give us a political idea of who is a friend of the revolution and who is an enemy. They will provide us with a basis for distinguishing between criminal acts and political acts. They will enable each of us to fight the capitalist corruption which is within us all. They are the first step in the long hard struggle before us to recreate our communities. SECOND, we must project a vision of a new society, a new system, in which there will be no need for jails and prisons because the society will provide opportunities for everyone of us men, women and children to carry on meaningful productive activities and to make meaningful political decisions, and thus to develop into new, socially responsible and better human beings. THIRD, we have to engage in programs of action to rid ourselves of the corrupt values and practices which are the result of the present system and which make us accomplices in our own self-destruction. We can begin by practicing the principle of Value People More than Things. This means we have to make choices and we have to stick by them. 1. Everyone of us, in every community, should refuse to buy the stolen or hot goods which seem so tempting but which really mean that we are subsidizing crime and accepting stealing as a way of life. Each of us should pledge this for our own selves, and then make joint pledges with our families, relatives, friends, neighbors, classmates, co-workers, club and church members, etc. holding each other responsible for these pledges. Thus, in our practice, we can educate our communities, including the criminal elements, to understand that we are not going to tolerate inhuman anti-social behavior any longer. 2. TEACH-INS SHOULD BE HELD in our schools and churches, on the causes and effects of crime in our communities, culminating in joint pledges not to associate with anyone who continues to practice looting, stealing, pimping or other inhuman, anti-social behavior. 3. We should criticize any section of the black movement which takes advantage of blackness to blackmail anyone or to commercialize on blackness. We should be equally critical of anyone who takes a liberal or sympathetic attitude to anyone of any race who rips off, steals, mugs, vandalizes, pimps or rapes a woman of any race, or who pushes drugs or sells hot goods in any community. 4. Finally, wherever we are, among friends, at work, in school, at church, we must make clear our conviction that it is the duty of the oppressed to carry on united, purposeful struggles against all forms of oppression, and that we are ready to explore with anyone those programs that will enable all of us, young and old together, to struggle against oppression and for the power and the sense of community that we as black people must have to give human dignity and value to our lives, now and in the future. We call upon all people, in every city and town, and particularly in black areas, to support, encourage and work with all groups, individuals and organizations to put these principles into action.

Basil Davidson obituaryBy Victoria Brittain9 July 2010Davidson [(9 November 1914 9 July 2010) a British historian, writer and Africanist] was enthused early on by the end of British colonialism and the prospects of pan-Africanism in the 1960s, and he wrote copiously and with warmth about newly independent Ghana and its leader, Kwame Nkrumah. He went to work for a year at the University of Accra in 1964. Later he threw himself into the reporting of the African liberation wars in the Portuguese colonies, particularly in Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde and Guinea-Bissau. . . . In the 1980s, with most of the African liberation wars now wonexcept for South Africa's Davidson turned much of his attention to more theoretical questions about the future of the nation state in Africa. He remained a passionate advocate of pan-Africanism. In 1988 he made a long and dangerous journey into Eritrea, writing a persuasive defence of the nationalists' right to independence from Ethiopia, and an equally eloquent attack on the revolutionary leader Colonel Mengistu and the regime that had overthrown Haile Selassie.

West Africa Before the Colonial Era: A History to 1850
By Basil Davidson
This book is excellent as an introduction to West African history. It begins with a brief overview of region's history from earliest times but the focus of the book is on the thousand years between the 9th and the 19th centuries A.D. Comprehensive overviews of the political histories of both well and little known West African states and cities are recounted. These include the histories of the empires of Ghana, Mali, Songhay, Kanem-Bornu, Oyo, Benin, Dahomey and Asante. Accounts of several other smaller states are also detailed such as the Hausa city states, the Wollof kingdom, the Bambara states, the Niger Delta trading states, the Fulani states of Futa Jallon and Futa Toro, the important cities of Timbuktu, Jenne and Gao and several others.
Apart from these political histories, Davidson also provides an insight into the social fabric of West Africa, especially at the dawn of the 17th century. He describes economic features (like trade items, routes, currencies etc), religion, arts and learning in the region, social stratification and dominant trends. These provide the reader with a real "feel" of the society at that time. Like all of Davidson's writings on this subject matter, this book dispels the myth that Africa had no history or civilization before contact with Europe. It is clear, concise and very easy to read.

African Slave Trade: Precolonial History, 1450-1850
By Basil Davidson
The best general acount of the Atlantic slave trade. It is the story of one of the most enormous crimes in all human history. Basil Davidson states that by examining three important areas of Africa in the history of slavery 'against a general background of their time and circumstance' he was taking 'a fresh look at the oversea slave trade, the steady year-by-year export of African laborr to the West Indies and the Americas that marked the greatest and most fateful migrationforced migrationin the history of man. This book is about the course and consequences of this long African-European connection that endured from the fifteenth century to the nineteenth. It makes an answer to three vital questions: What kind of contact was this with Europe and America? How did the experience affect Africa? Why did it end in colonial invasion and conquest?

Ginger and Coriander Layered Dauphinoise
Dauphionise is a very rich but delicious way if preparing potatoes or similar root vegetables. You will need to slice the vegetables very thinl. This is best done with a mandolin, which is an expensive hand slicer which is extremely sharp and a great tool for preparing game chips and other thinly sliced vegetables. Alternatively, a Japanese Vegetable slicer works well, but is far less expensive that a mandolin.
Please visit our advertisers to help fund our site!
Portions: 6 Portions
Preparation: 20 minutes
Cooking: Cooking Time 40 minutes
- 700g orange sweet Potato, peeled and very finely sliced
- 750g baking potato, peeled and very finely sliced
- 700g turnip, peeled and very finely sliced
- 450ml double cream
- 2 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 3 tsp ginger, peeled and finely grated
- 4 tbsp coriander finely chopped
- 250g Gouda cheese, grated
- 60g Parmesan cheese, grated
- maldon salt and freshly ground pepper
- Dauphinoise:Preheat an oven to 200C. Butter an earthenware dish large enough to hold all the vegetables. Place the garlic ginger and cream in a saucepan and bring it to a simmer, then remove it from the heat. Season the cream with a little salt and pepper. Toss the potatoes in the cream, then remove the potato slices and lay them over the base of the dish evenly. Sprinkle over a third of the cheese and 2 tbsp of the coriander. Repeat this with first the sweet potato and the top layer with turnip, sprinkle the turnip with the remaining cheese and 1 tablespoon of the coriander. Pour the cream over the top of the dauphinoise, sprinkle over the parmesan and drizzle over the olive oil.
- To Cook: Place the dauphinoise in the centre over the hot oven and cook for 40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the vegetables are tender. If the top is brown before the vegetables are cooked cover the top with foil. If the dish becomes dry add a little more cream.
- To Serve: Serve the dauphinoise hot or cool it and refrigerate it until ready to serve. To reheat it cut out portions and cook them in oven preheated to 220C for 5- 10 minutes until heated through (dependent on the size of the pieces).

My Full Real Teens VR Review
Gotta Love those Hot Teens!
Welcome to Real Teens VR where the stars are sexy young teens and they're baring it all for you to swoon and salivate over in the most jaw-dropping 180° 3D. I can't get enough VR since it came out and this site delivers on their promise to make you feel like you're actually there in the scene with the girls.
Membership is $24.95 a month, cheaper than an average subscription, or just $1.00 for a 1 day trial, which I think is a great introductory offer. For this review I decided to try out these scenes in both my Samsung Gear VR headset and my Cardboard device.
No Streaming - Download Only
First things first, there's absolutely no streaming, so if you thought you were just going to press play and pop your phone into your Cardboard think again. But every scene has five download options including one for the Gear VR as well as low and high-quality versions for both your smartphone and Oculus or Vive headset.
Immaculate 3D Quality
Once I downloaded the files and began watching I definitely had no complaints. The visual quality was immaculate, with perfect lighting, colors and a 3D effect that made those teenage titties seem even perkier! The models themselves are also pretty great. Not only are they super-hot but they're great performers who really throw themselves into their roles, accenting the 3D effect and making the whole virtual reality experience almost hypnotic.
As per usual, I preferred my Gear VR to the Cardboard device. Marketing aside, there's got to be a qualitative reason why the Gear costs on average 10 times more than the standard Cardboard unit. Not only is it a much sturdier device, but the viewing experience is just so much more enjoyable. The Cardboard lacks a manual focus adjustment wheel and the Gear covers your eyes completely, ensuring you see the video and only the video.
New Scenes Added Weekly
The site's navigation and usability is unfortunately rather basic. There's no search feature whatsoever, so the videos can only be browsed by scrolling down to the bottom of the page and then clicking on one of two other pages and browsing again in the same way. There's also no way to filter the videos, or tag, favourite, comment, rate or share them, which kind of sucks. RealTeensVR only has a good number hardcore teen scenes at the moment. And they are adding new scenes at about the rate of one per week.
Hot Teens In VR is the Best!
Their social media team wants you to connect with them through their Twitter and Instagram accounts where you'll be able to see all the latest news and images from recently released scenes, models and much more. They're also on VR Smash, where you can check out plenty of trailers and clips.
Personally I really enjoyed the site and couldn't get enough of it. The videos are superbly put together and offer multiple files for devices of varying capabilities. Now all they've got to do in order to take it to the next level is to add some user features, a better interface and search function, and ideally a streaming option.
When you turn 18 you can either start driving or start working in porn. But watching teen hotties in driver's ed on 18 VR doesn't seem as appealing as the other option, does it?
If you're feeling blue and you want to get off to some hot teen VR porn, then check out TMW VR Net. You're not going to want to pass up on an immersive experience like this.

We live on a planet where water is in abundance and covers more area than land masses. The sheer vastness of our oceans has inspired thousands of myths and legends from cultures all over the world. Though we live in an age aided by technology, we haven't really been able to fully explore the world that exists underwater.
Until now, deep-sea expeditions have only been able to cover a fraction of the ocean. Out of the little area that humans have explored, there have been many incredible and unbelievable discoveries.
From wreckages that teach lost history to astonishing living organisms, everything explorers have found so far has been mind-blowing. Here are some of the most incredible things discovered in our oceans.
1The Goblin Shark
The Goblin shark is by far the most distinct species in its family due to its appearance.
At first glance, it looks like an alien straight out of a science fiction movie. Its snout resembles the shape of a well-forged blade ready to cut anything its path and its jaw houses nearly 35-53 upper teeth rows and 31 to 62 lower teeth rows. When it attacks, the jaws thrust out of its face to catch its prey. The size of the adults can vary between 3-4 meters long, and they weigh about 200 kilograms.
Unlike other sharks, the Goblin shark moves slowly and therefore attacks only unaware prey. Since it's found more at depths ranging from 1300-1370 meters, it has little use for eyes and uses the sand to locate its prey. Though it is not considered to be dangerous, the mere sight of it can give you nightmares. It is also a living fossil of sorts as its ancestry trace back to the Cretaceous period.
Most of its current features strongly point to the primitive characteristics.
2The Vampire Squid
A vampire squid is something you would expect to see in a B-grade horror movie, but underwater explorations have successfully found this horrible deep sea creature alive and well under our oceans.
Despite its name, this squid is small in size. The adult grows to only about 6 inches in length but don't let the size fool you. It belongs to an ancient species and is the only remaining member of the Vampyromorphida family. It even has light-producing organs which allow it to light itself on and off whenever it wants. Its eight arms are lined with fleshy spines and suction cups.
Since it's a deep-sea creature, the feeding and reproductive habits of this species are not fully known, but it is believed to feed on small fishes and invertebrates.
3The Frilled Shark
When you think of a shark, a certain image comes to mind fairly easily because it is so iconic. But what if all our perceptions of this prehistoric animal are shattered?
The Frilled shark looks more of a deep sea serpent than a fish due to its unmistakable physical characteristics. There are so many fascinating aspects to this creature such as the way it moves under water. Unlike traditional sharks, this one hovers in the water and is believed to strike its prey like a snake.
Until now, no one has been able to record it feeding so the assumption made by scientists is based more on the way its body is designed. It is typically seen at depths of 390-4200 feet under the oceans and they can grow to a maximum of 6.4 feet. While that size may seem small, do not mistake it to be a docile creature.
4The Giant Squid
It's impossible to discuss the world deep under our oceans without mentioning a sea monster. The Giant Squid is one of the largest creatures to be discovered living deep underwater. One look at this amazing creature and you'll know why people feared the Kraken.
The biggest one found so far reached nearly 59 feet in length and weighed about a ton. The Blue Whale might be a lot bigger but there's something intrinsically more frightening about a 60-foot creature with eight arms than a docile and beautiful 100-foot long whale.
The Giant Squid has massive eyes that allow them to see other creatures better in the deepest depths of the ocean. Experts believe species might even feed on small whales.
5The Dumbo Octopus
Unlike others in the list, the Dumbo Octopus refers to an entire genus of creatures rather than a single one.
The name covers all the octopuses that fall under the same family of deep-sea umbrella octopuses. They are known to live deep under the ocean at depths of 13,100 feet and below and move much slower than their cousins and use their cute little arms to steer while their tiny fins propel them forward.
Dumbo Octopus forage for small invertebrates and are found very rarely to come into contact with humans.
6The Underwater City of Pavlopetri
Pavlopetri is a small city that dates back to almost 5000 years and still exists today but completely submerged.
Pavlopetri has roads, houses, gardens, temples, cemetery and even a complicated water management system. Upon further exploration, it was found to span nearly 9 acres and that it is older than "Iliad," the iconic ancient Greek poem.
The presence of large storage containers spread throughout and Neolithic pottery discoveries led to the conclusion that it must have been a major hub for commerce in its day.
7Underwater River of the Black Sea
Just when you think the things in the ocean cannot surprise you anymore, it knocks you out completely.
Scientists found the flow of water in terrestrial rivers tends to go round the bend, but in underwater rivers, it's the opposite. This underwater river flows under the Black Sea has an actual ecosystem surrounded by trees, leaves and even a waterfall.
Taking its size into consideration, if it existed on land, it would have been the sixth largest river in the world.
8The Lost City of Heracleion
For several centuries, the city of Heracleion existed only in legends and myths. Known in mythology as a city of immense wealth, the discovery of this ancient city solidified the fact it was very much real.
Also known as "Thonis," it is believed to have disappeared beneath the Mediterranean about 1200 years ago. More than 64 ships were found near the city pointing to the fact that trade was abundant in the city during its heyday. Divers also found massive statues 16 feet high buried in the sand along with several gold coins and other objects of significant value.
At the heart of the underwater city resides the temple to one of ancient Egypt's supreme gods, "Amun-Gereb." The discovery shed light on ancient Egyptian culture and life. Experts estimate that at least 200 years is needed to perform an entire excavation of the city.
9The Great Swallower
Just as the name suggests, this incredible but scary fish can eat prey several times its size. It is found deep in the oceans at depths ranging from 700 to 2745 meters. They are known to grow to a maximum size of 9.8 inches and have an elongated head and body with no scales and a large mouth.
Its prey is mostly bony fishes which it can swallow as a whole without any problems. The jaws of the Great Swallower articulate with the skull from the front and this allows the creature to swing down further than most other living organisms.
One of the most remarkable deep-sea specimens ever found the Barreleye is one fish that will surprise you. It has a transparent head through which we can see its tubular eyes.
Deep-sea fish have adapted incredibly well to the environment they live in, and the Barreleye is no different. It's believed that the fish's eyes remain static in one place and therefore provides a tunnel vision of sorts for the fish. But recent studies showed that it could very much rotate its eyes within the transparent covering over its head.
Its tubular eyes are perfect for the dark environment in which it lives as it helps in collecting light.

How do I get Started as a Maker of Jewelry?
There are two ways.
The first way to become a jewelry-maker is to attend the Gemological Institute of America. This nonprofit institute headquartered in Carlsbad, California offers courses both online and at its' 12 locations around the world. They are dedicated to research and education in the field of gemology, and their International Diamond Grading System has become the standard for rating and comparing diamonds around the world. Find out more about their resources and classes here.
Of course, there are less conventional ways to fall into this profession. Our amazing jeweler, Garo, is an outstanding example.
As a young boy living in Jordan, Garo needed a way to support his family. So, at the age of 10 his uncle made him an apprentice and taught him everything related to jewelry. From designing a new piece, to creating a wax, to setting precious gems and everything in between, Garo quickly honed his craft! Now, 67 years of jewelry-making later, Garo is one of the best in the business. He loves creating a piece of art that makes everyone admire and want to own it.
So, no matter which path you take, the key to creating pieces that everyone admires and desires is experience. And the road to crafting beautiful jewelry is certainly a rewarding one!

Our favorite queens are back this week with a new episode of Fusion's Shade: Queens of NYC and boy was it a good one. In this episode, we watched Jasmine Rice LaBeija struggled to find a balance between her spirituality and drag, while Brita Filter and Holly Box-Springs tried to tackle their financial woes.
Jasmine's struggle to find herself in a church setting was a key focus of the episode. We got to learn more about her background in the church. Jasmine's family is heavily intertwined with religion, and she has always felt a connection to Jesus Christ. Like most of us, the weight the church puts on heterosexuality led to judgment, making her feel like an outcast in her place of worship. She shared her need for a religious community to Marti Gould Cummings and Tina Burner at a diner post-drag show. Marti offered to take her to her church, the Fourth Universalist Society. Marti found her own community within the church, mentioning how it was a judgment-free environment. Jasmine agrees to join her and the group says a quick prayer, but not before Tina made it clear that she "only prays to Jack Daniels. "Me too sis, me too."
Jasmine and Marti met with Rev. Vogel of Fourth Universalist Society so Jasmine could get some background on the beliefs of the church. Rev. Vogel shares how revolutionary the Universalist religion is. The church is based on the idea that God would save everyone, and each service is a bit different. Sometimes the teachings are focused on Christianity, other times its foundation is in Buddhist teachings. The Universalist faith is all-inclusive, just like Jasmine was hoping to find, but she found a disconnect when she asked if Rev. Vogel was a Christian, to which he answered no.
Later in the week, Jasmine and Marti met back up for some coffee to address how Jasmine felt about the church. She told Marti more about the disconnect she felt, stating she needed a place of worship that was centered in Jesus Christ. Marti absolutely understood, and lend her some advice on how to find the community she was searching for, and how to include her family in it as well. Jasmine came out when she was sixteen, and it wasn't an easy journey with her family and the church. I really felt for Jasmine as I watched her share her story and need for community. You can really sense how much her religion means to her, and I am certain she will find the sense of community she is looking for. I think it's truly admirable how candid Jasmine was in this episode dealing with such a touchy subject like religion. I really appreciated how open she was about her faith. Also, that lipsynch number to her own singing in that church? Incredible!
Back on a bit of a lighter note; Brita, Chelsea Piers, and Holly started out the episode shopping for typical drag needs- wigs, pantyhose, the whole nine yards. Brita checked her bank account to find that she was in the negative. In that moment I felt like I checked my banking app and saw the same thing Brita did. We've all been there, don't lie, you felt it too! Holly also told the girls how much she spent on her first look for So You Think You Can Drag, which was more than the prize money was. FOR JUST THE FIRST LOOK! This part of the episode really gave those of us who do not do drag a clear understanding of just how expensive drag is, especially when you do it full time. Chelsea, aside from being the absolute sweetest offering to buy Brita whatever she needed, suggested the pair go visit Paige Turner for some financial advice.
Brita and Holly arrived at Paige's place and Paige was everything but impressed by their financial organization skills. Even though Brita and Holly are working the most they ever have, they're spending more than they're making. Brita puts her booking fees into her bank account, then keeps her tips as spending money. I was watching this episode thinking she was doing the right thing, but then they got into specifics when it came to drag expenses. The amount each queen puts into costumes, makeup, transportation to and from the gigs, paired with basic living expenses is A LOT. I have so much more respect for the financial burden drag queens are faced with after seeing it so candidly in this episode. Paige offers the girls some great advice, and they decide to do a drag swap to get some new looks!
Brita, Paige, Holly, Marti, and Chelsea all met up at Paige's place to do a drag swap. The girls had AMAZING costumes and wigs they passed down to one another. Brita was shortchanged a bit, only receiving a bright yellow wig (AKA the ET wig. My personal favorite part of the episode). The girls vowed to invite queens of all sizes and have more shoes, jewelry, and hair for the next swap. What a great idea to get some new costumes for free!
Though this week dealt with some heavy real-world issues, it was still lighthearted and fun. What was your favorite part of this week's episode? Let us know in the comments below!
Be sure to tune into Shade: Queens of NYC Thursday's at 10:30 PM on FusionTV or on fusion.net.

SEOUL, South Korea, April 19, (Agencies): Unpredictable. Unhinged. Dangerous. Many South Koreans are using those words to describe the president of their most important ally, rather than the leader of their archrival to the North. They worry that President Donald Trump's tough, unorthodox talk about North Korea's nuclear program is boosting already-high animosity between the rival Koreas.
No matter whether Trump succeeds at getting North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons and missile programs, his actions, comments and tweets are changing how the region views the long-running conflict. Senior North Korean officials see their relations with Washington as even more volatile than before. China is appealing for calm, and possibly reexamining its role. Japan is weighing a retaliatory strike capability against the North.
CHINA After decades of failure to stop North Korea's march toward a nuclear arsenal, some see Trump's bluster as a shrewd attempt to press China, the North's most important ally and trading partner, into pressuring North Korea more aggressively over its nuclear program. Trump has said he's willing to make trade and economic concessions to China in return for its help with North Korea. "A trade deal with the US will be far better for them if they solve the North Korean problem!" Trump said on Twitter, recounting what he told Xi while hosting him this month at his Palm Beach, Florida, resort. Pulling back from a campaign promise, Trump has also said he would not declare China a currency manipulator, as he looked for help from Beijing.
The rhetoric seems to be blurring the lines between North Korea and economic ties with China, issues that previous US administrations had kept separate. If such persuasion falls short, Trump has suggested he might use more coercive methods. So-called secondary sanctions on Chinese banks that do business with North Korea could also be in the offing, officials have said.
SOUTH KOREA South Koreans may be uneasy about North Korea's expanding arsenal of weapons, but many doubt that the country's leader, Kim Jong Un, wants to start a war that would likely end in the destruction of his government and the ruling elite. Donald Trump is another story, judging by widespread concern posted on Twitter. Some see him as a hot-tempered, unpredictable leader who might attack North Korea before it masters the technology to build a nucleartipped missile that could hit the US mainland. North Korea is moving steadily toward that goal, and some experts believe it could achieve it during Trump's presidency.
NORTH KOREA Trump is clearly on the mind of the North Korean leadership. A senior Foreign Ministry official told The Associated Press last week that Pyongyang has been watching Trump's actions — including his recent order for the strike on a Syrian air base and his many tweets about North Korea — and determined that his administration is "more vicious and more aggressive" than that of his predecessor, Barack Obama. In response, Pyongyang is promising it will continue to build up its "nuclear deterrent" and respond in kind to any hostile moves, perceived or real. North Korean fury at Washington was rising well before Trump took office, in particular over reports that annual US-South Korean military exercises now include training for precision strikes on the North's leadership or nuclear and military facilities. Pyongyang's regime has called that "a red line," and has since begun its own training for pre-emptive strikes and speeded up its testing of nuclear weapons and long-range missiles. JAPAN Japan is drawing up emergency responses in case of a North Korea missile strike. A number of municipalities are testing community alarm systems and planning evacuation drills as concerns run high around US military bases. Both Japan and South Korea are home to tens of thousands of US troops.

Sounds a little arrogant, doesn't it? Well, not really. I just had one of those little moments where things came together in my head regarding my writing. Nothing earthshattering, but still, it opened my eyes a bit.
I got good news today, a book proposal that I sent was accepted, in spite of my having really just pulled the thing together last minute. When that happens, I get the feeling that the story is really just hankering to get out and fly. It might be a bit scary to sell on proposal with a deadline, but what the hey, I've got three chapters written, right? (panic mode!!!)
The story is a m/m paranormal, and as I opened my current projects today, it occurred to me that of the books I've written over the past year, 3 are m/m; that's roughly half of my writing. Am I crossing to the dark side, never to look back? Well...no. Not really.
I've never limited myself to a single genre, beyond saying that I write mostly speculative fiction. That's an awfully big umbrella to write under. If you look at my website, you'll see het, menage, (both bi and het) f/f, cross dressers, BDSM, shifters, paranormal, interracial/multicultural, and science fiction. Obviously, I have problems limiting myself to a single genre.
Here's how it works; I often think of a character, but don't have a plot for him/her, or I start their story and it stalls. That goes into my files for later use. Other times, I have a story that's really compelling, and it might literally be anything. Sometimes that story knows exactly where it wants to go, and I follow it like a dog on a flexi-lead. If the hero happens to be an alien or a werewolf or gay, I go with it. If a story stalls, I know something is fundamentally wrong with it and I set it aside to reconsider.
That was the case with "An Uncommon Whore." I started it as an exercise in first person, then decided to prep it for an open call. I worked on a couple chapters in Griffin's voice. Grif was one of those characters languishing in my files. He was a one eyed, one balled rapscallion. I envisioned him in a fantasy setting, coming in to deal with an uptight, spoiled princess type.
Well, the dialogue was stiff and the story just didn't have any heart. All the sudden, a line kept running through my head: "A whore is a whore is a whore, except when she's something else completely." That line gave me the key to the story...the princess really was something else! She was a he. Once I adjusted the character accordingly and let him take the POV, the story just popped. When I started on the second book, Griffin decided that it was his turn to speak, and his voice is surprisingly beautiful and shockingly clear to me. He made me cry, where Helios made me laugh.
I know that many readers are dedicated to their genre and rarely read outside of it. I imagine this limits my sales somewhat, but for now, I choose to not limit myself. My commitment as a writer is to the story, and I have so many more to write.
You see, I write erotic romance, and my personal kinks are plentiful. My perspective on sexuality is very fluid. I think there's nothing sexier than a man and a woman in an intense love story...or a threesome that's really committed. I might not want to be spanked, but there are elements of BDSM that are so damn sexy. Picturing two butch alpha males together melts me in my tracks. And don't get me started on androgyny....*sigh*
Maybe someday I'll write for a New York imprint and will find myself boxed into a genre. I find that idea dreary, but I know there's a lifeline out here for me in e-publishing. Out here on the fringes, I can write anything that I'm inclined to write.
Someone at RT took me by surprise when she summed me up as a writer. She told me that she'd gone online that morning looking for a good Belinda book. Not a menage or a shifter book, but a Belinda McBride book. What more could I ask for?

Mostly I have a hard time thinking of a sexuality as a genre. If it's on a space ship, it's sci-fi or space opera, no matter what configuration of tabs and slots are involved. And while I know that isn't how publishers think, I do think more and more readers think the way I do.
Here's hoping you don't ever get boxed into a New York publisher shape. There are reasons they're having a hard time keeping up with reader preferences, especially when it comes to sex and sexuality.

Thanks Renae, you've really summed up my feelings regarding sexuality. I do hope readers begin to pick up on that as well. :)

In the year prior to Seth Littrell's arrival in Denton, North Texas went through an abysmal one-win season. Twelve months later, they participated in the postseason. A couple of months after that, the football program's head coach has been rewarded for the immediate turnaround.
In a press release Friday afternoon, UNT announced that the university and Littrell have reached an agreement on a new five-year deal. The school's Board of regents has already signed off on the contract.
With the new deal, the 38-year-old Littrell is now signed through the 20121 season.
There's no official word yet as to what financial enhancements were included as part of the new pact. Last season, his first as a head coach, Littrell was paid $815,000. That number was third among Conference USA coaches in 2016 according to USA Today's salary database.
"We are excited to announce this new agreement with coach Littrell," said athletic director Wren Baker in a statement. "Under one of the brightest young coaches in the country, our football program had the second-best turnaround in the nation last season and his performance was recognized by his colleagues and media members around the nation. This new contract represents an aggressive move to keep coach Littrell, his staff, and their positive momentum intact. This is validation of the successful efforts that Seth has led in the early stages of the turnaround of North Texas football."
While the Mean Green finished the 2016 regular season 5-7, they were one of the five-win teams to qualify for a bowl game. It was the program's first bowl appearance since 2013 and just the second in the last dozen years.
The four-win turnaround from the previous season was the second-best at the FBS level.

Former KKK Leader Indicted for Cross Burning in Alabama; Second KKK Member Indicted for Perjury
|U.S. Department of Justice November 29, 2013
WASHINGTON—Steven Joshua Dinkle, former Exalted Cyclops of a chapter of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) in Ozark, Alabama, was arrested on Wednesday, November 27 in Mississippi for burning a cross at the entrance to a predominantly African-American neighborhood and for obstructing the investigation into the offense. Pamela Morris, Dinkle's mother and the former secretary of the KKK chapter, was arrested on November 21, 2013, for committing perjury before the grand jury investigating the cross burning.
Dinkle, 28, was charged in a five-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury in the Middle District of Alabama that was unsealed on November 27. The indictment charges him with one count of conspiracy to violate housing rights, one count of criminal interference with the right to fair housing, one count of using fire to commit a federal felony, and two counts of obstruction of justice.
The indictment alleges that on May 8, 2009, Dinkle conspired with another person to burn a cross in an African-American neighborhood to threaten and intimidate residents of that neighborhood and thereby interfere with their federally protected housing rights. Dinkle allegedly constructed a six-foot cross, wrapping jeans and a towel around it. He and his co-conspirator drove the cross to an African-American community near Johntown Road in Ozark, where Dinkle poured fuel on the cross, erected it in the ground and set it on fire. The indictment further contends that Dinkle obstructed justice by lying to local investigators in 2009 and federal investigators in 2012. Dinkle claimed he had withdrawn from the KKK months before the cross burning, provided a false alibi, and denied knowing a person who was, in fact, his superior in the KKK.
The grand jury returned a separate indictment against Morris, 45, charging her with two counts of perjury. The indictment alleges that Morris made multiple false statements to the grand jury investigating the cross burning when she denied her own involvement in the KKK and knowing that Dinkle was also involved.
If convicted, Dinkle could face a maximum statutory sentence of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine on the conspiracy and criminal interference counts; sentence maximum of 10 years in prison for the use of fire; a maximum of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for obstructing justice by making false statements to local investigators; and a maximum of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine for making false statements to the FBI.
If convicted, Morris could face a maximum statutory sentence of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine on each count of perjury.
This case is being investigated by the FBI, with the assistance of the Dale County Sheriff's Office and the Ozark Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jerusha T. Adams of the Middle District of Alabama and Trial Attorney Chiraag Bains of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division.
An indictment is merely an accusation, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

The Song of the Blue Starsam
Author B A Boland outlines why the blue star energy is fundamental for us to understand at present, and how it might be relevant in our daily lives.
We are now in a time of rapid change – the 'time of the Blue Star' – heralded by some as a point in time when a 'quickening' of energy would affect Earth consciousness (and Earth inhabitants), and bring an opportunity for us to increase our self awareness. The Traditional Hopi in Arizona shared their beliefs with the world on this subject during recent decades, and have held steadfastly to the instructions imparted to them at a time in the past – a guidance which was designed to help everyone (without exception) to prepare for this change. These instructions are understood as the 'bluestar' prophecies and reflect the emergent energy of the 'Blue Star'.
I believe that 'blue star' energy is best described as that which brings the various aspects of the element of Aether and aligns this with the force that we call the Will of Heaven. This 'marriage' (or covenant) brings us the idea that when two things are 'knotted' together they will not be broken apart, because they will endure through all change. This sacred 'bond' carries an invincibility that provides ultimate protection because it contains the guiding 'laws of creation' – a foundation that builds confidence and faith and dispels fear.
Blue star energy is related to 'light' and 'fire'. Light promotes life and fire brings renewal, and 'rules' the transition into the opening of conscious awareness, connecting our dreaming and waking states. It brings the strength to realize that we are inheritors of a sacred dream, and that we can gain the strength to assert and realize our right to this dream – in the current experience of our lives.
The need to heal the human will is at the heart of this journey. A weak or 'broken' will leads to actions of a destructive and self-defeating nature. Blue star energy strengthens the human Will because it cleanses the patterns and imprints that disturb the true gift of human 'determination'. Will is an absolute and indestructible force that forms part of our universe of existence, and the power of determination underlines the Aetheric realms in which we live. With these in balance, we can find the notes of our own song and create the consonant space in consensus reality that reveals to us our purpose for being. The imbalance between Aether with Will remains the core source of both global and personal problems. Their union however requires a clear and consistent intent on our part – one which is contained within the following song:
Within the Dream of Time,
With the Will of Heaven
In the Cradleboard of the Sun
I will remember who I Am.
With the fire-energy of the blue star clearing the way for balance, we can see many personal and global changes. We can lay bare the calcifications in thought, the attitudes, ideologies and intransigent beliefs that create and sustain our harmful behaviors – to ourselves and to others. In this sense, the blue star energy brings forth the full relevance of healing the human will, as we can access a force through which we can deal with these strong energies we are buffeted by – and feel unable to resist.
The 'song' of the blue star (as described in the book Song of the Blue Star) is essentially a sacred observance. Song describes this sacred journey because it connects to everything and is able to create and keep its own integrity. A Song is made in many ways – all forms that resound with the universal and celestial harmonies. The energies and messages carried in Song can declare that we intend to reach beyond the ordinary boundaries of who we think we are, and extend into a more expansive relationship with life and creation. A song can carry us along the folds of Time, to the balance of all the aspects of creation – including the elements and the Aetheric realm. It links us into the world of spirit, and as it echoes and re-echoes across the lines of Time, it creates a link with our past, present and all our potential futures.
Each song-sound is unique, and we can recognize ourselves and be recognized by others as we reconnect our memory into the un-awakened spaces of the mind. Ignited by this light and the sacred song of who we are, we resonate with everything, in the discovery of our own Dream. In this moment of choice we can set the course of our destiny as humans – and a distinction between choice and destiny is central to the energy of the blue star. We can stop to enter the stillness, gathering the energy we need to safely awaken within our sacred dream.
The search for self knowledge is part of many cultures; wise ones have always understood that the purpose of the human is to come to know and understand our place and our origin. It is viewed as a core 'task' to free ourselves from our suffering. The wise elders have taught that each individual and every collective needs to attain a unity of 'Heaven and Earth' – the treasure that will help us to expand our awareness and realize the fulfillment of our 'destiny'. Many elders have held the questions that would provoke the recovery of our 'lost' knowledge – who or what we are, why we are here, where we have come from, and where we are going.
All paths are journeys of self reflection and self discovery, and each seeker decides and chooses their way. Everything that takes place in our individual journey is relevant to this. Each event and previous experience of our lives is precious, including the atmospheres of our background and our daily lives – the little and large happenings we encounter all the time. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to unearth these jewels of life experience, and we can use them to create the gate of freedom that takes us into our future. It is important not to disregard these – we can use it all and embrace it – not bury it or run away in fear or shame. This is the opportunity of the song of the Blue Star – to expand into the mirrors of self reflection – on all sides and in all directions, so we may know the multi-layered, multi–coloured and diamond-clear transparency of the self. Instead of averting our gaze and turning to hide away in the crevices of non-awareness, we can face the light of the Sun and the light of the Moon. Here and Now, we can experience our light-essence and respond to the ancient songs that are calling us from within the stars. Our universe contains many worlds of mystery, of appearance and reflection, which we can learn to use and transcend, since our search at all times is for the reflection of our own being.
This reflection of self is NOW, in the time of the Blue Star.
We know that we are in the midst of great change, which brings opportunity and challenge – to be open to what is possible and to reach for what might seem impossible – the gathering and recollection of the light of our memory of self. Within this, whatever does not resonate with our sacred dream will be relinquished – or transformed. The changes that are upon us are swift, and the impact is felt on an individual and collective level. Our understanding can be enhanced as we perceive with our Will, as we 'bridge' Heaven and Earth inside ourselves. The more we understand, the more we are aware of our connectedness together through the interface of starlight as the vehicle of memory.
As points of fire that burn with the light of awareness, the stars in our universe are home to our sacredness. They create strands of visible and invisible light that connect our memory in Time and Space. The blue star summons this awareness into immediate and simultaneous experience, through the vehicle that is light.

Without my name,
I am skin with a personality,
a body with a mind,
a mush of thoughts and feelings,
but no one to credit them to.
I am that anonymous quote
you once saw, from a forgotten
philosopher who had no name.
I am made of blood and tears,
but without my name,
who will come to my funeral?
I am tired eyes and blistered lips,
swollen heart and crushed brain,
because without my name,
I am a mess.
Without my name, who am I?
Forgotten or remembered
just as the one with no name?
How can you be remembered
if no one knows your identity?
Banksy, I suppose, I could become,
an artist who hides their real name
yet has great success,
like me maybe, without no name.
With my name, I have boundaries,
without it, perhaps I am limitless.
I am no longer limited to identity;
it might be freeing, to have no name.
Escapril: Without Your Name, Who Are You?
Without my name,

A police cruiser was torched, protesters were arrested and at least one Georgia Tech officer was evacuated by ambulance Monday night, two days after a student was fatally shot by campus police outside a dormitory building.
The evening began with candles and eulogies in memory of Scout Schultz, the 21-year-old leader of a campus LGBT group, who police said was suicidal and armed with a knife.
But Schultz's "knife" was merely a multitool with no blade in sight, according to the student's family. And many students want to know why a student in apparent distress had to be killed.
So while Monday's vigil was peaceful, a group of mourners headed to the campus police headquarters afterwards – "and then all hell broke loose," a witness told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
They marched under a banner that read "Protect LGBTQ," according to CNN, and moved toward the police building chanting: "This is not okay!"
Shortly afterward, a police SUV was seen burning. WSB-TV recorded an officer on a stretcher with an apparent head injury. CNN showed people screaming in the street as an officer chased and wrestled a man to the ground.
Two officers were injured Monday night, according to Georgia Tech. Three people were arrested, and for the second time in 48 hours, students were told to seek shelter from violence.
Scout Schultz had left three suicide notes in a dorm room, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, and phoned police on Saturday night to report an armed man stalking the campus.
According to the state bureau, the student reported a man with long blond hair and a knife, possibly intoxicated, possibly wearing a gun on his hip, in a white T-shirt and jeans.
In other words, someone who looked very much like Schultz, as seen in video shot from a window above the parking lot where the student encountered police.
"Come on, man, let's drop the knife," an officer, gun drawn, tells the student.
Schultz was not, in fact, a man, but rather identified as intersex – neither male nor female – and was known around campus for leading an equality group called Pride Alliance.
"Shoot me!" Schultz appears to shout in the video.
At least four campus officers had surrounded the student by then, according to WSB-TV. As the student advances, one of them backs up behind a parking barricade.
"Nobody wants to hurt you, man," the officer says.
But Schultz keeps walks forward, slowly and haltingly, advancing first toward one officer, then another, ignoring their commands.
"Do not move!"
"Drop it!"
The student takes three more steps forward, followed by the sound of a gunshot and then many screams.
Schultz died Sunday at an Atlanta hospital. An attorney for the family said the student was shot once through the heart.
Schultz never had a gun, police and the family agree. Investigators said a multipurpose tool with a knife was recovered from the parking lot.
But the family attorney said the blade had been tucked into its holder and that Schultz's arms remained at their sides throughout the police encounter.
"It's tragic that as Scout was battling mental health issues that pushed them to the edge of desperation, their life was taken with a bullet rather than saved with nonlethal force," L. Chris Stewart, the Schultz family attorney, said in a statement.
Stewart added in an interview with The Washington Post: "That's baffling to me that on a college campus you'd rather give the officers the most deadly weapons and not equip them with less lethal weapons."
A spokesman for Georgia Tech told CNN that campus police do not carry stun guns.
While the state's investigative bureau referred to Schultz as a male — "Scott Schultz" – the student identified as intersex and used the pronoun "they."
The student's parents said Schultz suffered from anxiety and depression and had spent time in counseling after attempting suicide by hanging two years ago.
But Lynne Schultz told The Post that her child's mental health issues appeared to have been resolved and that friends reported Scout seemed fine in their fourth year at Georgia Tech.
"We had no clue that there was an issue in the last four weeks," she said.
Bill Schultz said his child, originally from Maryland, was on track to graduate a semester early – intent on a career in engineering.
But the student was also interested in politics. Schultz had lately become frustrated with news coverage of police-involved shootings, Bill Schultz said, and expressed interest in the anti-fascist movement.
"I tend to think that if there was a cause, it might have been anger at the police over all the shootings," Bill Schultz said.
Police across the country fatally shoot an average of three people each day, a rate virtually unchanged in recent years despite calls from police leaders and the public for reform.
Mental illness plays a role in at least one-fourth of all such shootings, according to a Washington Post analysis. And since January 2015, U.S. police have killed at least 392 people who were armed with knives, blades or other edged weapons – 102 deaths this year alone, including Schultz.
In a weekend statement, Pride Alliance called its late president the "driving force" behind the group.
"We love you Scout," the group wrote, "and we will continue to push for change."
Schultz was "all justice for everyone," the student's father told The Post.
"Now," he said, "we have to seek justice for Scout."
Bill Schultz attended Monday's vigil. But after the violence outside the police building, the family released another statement.
"We ask that those who wish to protest Scout's death do so peacefully," it read. "Answering violence with violence is not the answer."
