One of Reggae’s most eminent David M, wants us to remember where we are coming from and where we are going as a people this Black History Month. So, if you are a music enthusiasm and love your self, go out and pick up “Lest We Forget.“

I have had the pleasure of interviewing David M, and have listen to this particular song and the entire album. I find it quite fitting and uplifting, it is an album we all should have if, nothing, not to forget. You will love it, he is an amazing singer.

Rent Woes Issues

By: C. Harrison/Feb 17, 2015/ 1:35 AM

It never faze me to take the J-train to Brooklyn, and this particular afternoon was no different. I got off the train and was on my way to the A-train, when I ran into a couple of guys handing out a pamphlets-a book entitled “Rent Is Theft.”  Being a Journalist I am always on the lookout for a good story or lead, so naturally, I was curious. Walking seriously fast I quickly walk up to them and almost grab one pamphlet, of which I quickly shove it into my bag. And that was that until I picked it up and curiosity got the better of me, I kept reading and reading.

It was not to say, that what the author is saying was my first time hearing this kind of languages regarding Rent; because years ago we reported on these subject matters and on such landlords but, it was a piece of Brooklyn that was described Bushwick, in the pamphlet that fascinated me and with that lingo one could really gravitate to the author’s mind frame, thus get taken in. I am going to give you synopsis of what the authors and publishers are talking about and you decide if you want to read the book.

“The real estate of Brooklyn is set up to be a wealth extraction machine via rent. (well known verse) In other words, we’re all extorted by landowners for the right to live in our neighborhoods.”

“The average mortgage would run them (Brooklynites) between $3, 500- $4, 500/mo. Considering the generally accepted wisdom is to apply a third of your income to housing a luxury that most Brooklynites  are ill-compensated to afford, that means a salary of $126,000/yr after taxes at minimum.”

“So-called affordable housing, is usually a ploy to use city subsidies to flip a dilapidated property into a massive financial profit for developers.”

“The modern state is a compulsory association which organizes domination.”

“German sociologist, Max Weber, who described the State as a compulsory political organization with a centralized government that successfully claims the monopoly of the legitimate use of physical force within a given territory.”

“The crisis of democracy: On the Government of Democracies.” In this report the group concludes that unrest in the United States and Western Europe in the 1960’s did not stem from racism and inequality but rather an “excess of democracy.”

You read it and draw your own conclusion.

The Rite To

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Posted By: C. Harrison/January 19, 2015/4:32am

It seem like yesterday that Jessy Jackson, Steve Wonder and others went to Washington D. C., to seek the rights to get Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday put on the calendar. Yes, it was  hard fought, there were those that were venomly not for the idea and of course the oligarchy were dead set against it.

It took 15-long years to change mines and finally in 1983, it became official, a federal holiday.  It was signed into law by former President, Ronald Reagan. Three years later the first King Holiday was observed and in 2000, all 50 states obey the law. Here we are today vasting in all its glory.

Today, the question is, how far have we come?  how much further do we have to go?…cry out for help and pray because our life depends on it.  Dr. King taught us a lot of things, but are we following his teachings, are we taken up the battons, are we helping each other even if it pains us. Are we putting trust in each other and are we caring for each other.?

The answer is some, a few are doing what they are suppose to do but, no, the vast majority of this nation seems further away from each other and our populus has a very long way to go.  A shame really, because Dr. King, along with others died and left us a road map to follow.

People do not let or allow the teachings of Dr. King and our elders go to waste. We must heed to there teachings on this very special Day, and from here-on. “God Bless Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for walking this earth.”

A MAN OF HIS WORD

GOVERNOR MARIO CUOMO SR

By: C. Harrison/January 8, 2015/7:55PM

He lived his life with dignity to the American people and ruled New York, with stern indignation and what he felt was right for New York. He gave us his word and kept it, some wanted him to become President because it was befitting to him. He looked the part of a President and would in most New Yorkers book, would have made the country proud.

He had a quality like none other and was respected for it, he was indeed New York’s Monarch. He lived a full life and God has called him home from a job well done. His life’s work will surely be carried on and he will not be forgotten for what he has done for the State  of New York.

Governor Mario Cuomo Born 1932 and died 2015

KING SPORTY

By: C. Harrison

Reggae Legend Noel Williams aka King Sporty, best known for his monster hit “Buffalo Soldiers,” a song written for Bob Marley; passed on Monday, January 5, 2015, with his wife by his bedside R&B legend Betty White.  king Sporty was the recipient of a Lifetime Honor Awards at the International Reggae and World Music Awards (IRAWMA), in New York 2010, held at York College. The Reggae world is once again in morning for another falling icon.

I was privileged to have been the Marketing Director, for the New York show that year and saw Mr. William for the first and last time in my life.

He will be missed…another mastery has gone  on to glory and his merits speaks for themselves.  Sporty did not give up that easy because he was in the midst of putting a movie together of which I am sure he would have starred in. Rip, too soon, his legacy lives on .
