Y'all know I don't do Facebook, but the way Facebook works you can't help but look at your wall. Facebook does a great job at showing me thing that would engage me, someones I can't resist, but most of the time I win the battle... Today I noticed a ton of arguing amongst the Black literati, you know the academics and writers of literature. Apparently some of them felt slighted over Bob Dylan winning a Nobel Prize—for literature no less. Much of the arguing centered around all the great Black talent that was surely overlooked in order to justify giving Dylan the award. It took a bit of restraint for me to not weigh in. I find it quite pathetic that we give europeans, so much power over defining who our important writers are. Yeah I know Dylan got $900K for the honor, but who gives a f-uck? If they honor our work fine, if not that is fine too. We define who is important to us not them.

Well, I guess all of the black people who work at WalMart, glad to have a job that pays a $10.00 an hour wage, and all the others among them who appreciate a place who's prices they can afford, would have to be regarded as collateral damage in a boycott of this super store. And, I guess a black monolith is akin to a battery ram. After it topples the system, will the old system be replaced with a better one? Or will power corrupt? Who knows? Who cares? You do. Soldier on.

My family and friends would probably find Cynique a little over the top in her role as a polemicist. But I don't care. There are enough people around who hold their tongues just to keep the peace. In the twilight of my years, my mission is to seek the truth and be a free thinker. It's a destination that makes for an interesting journey.

Cynique I have news for you it is the "best selling author or successful entrepreneur" who is LEAST likely to support and AALBC.com. Of course there are notable exceptions to this but the fact of the matter is that I survive thanks to the largess of individuals like yourself (and you done WAY more than you share to support AALBC.com). Rich authors don't need to buy ads from or otherwise directly support an AALBC.com. There are many reasons for this but I save that for a future post. But suffice it to say I get the support I need from folks like and Chris before I do from say a Toni Morrison or Walter Mosley... (this is not exactly true and here is why) @Cynique, do you think people in your personal sphere would recognize, or like your persona here? Do you think they would find her interesting? No one, as far as I know, from my personal world--even those in publishing, post here. Del and Mel are exceptions, but I have not seen either in a decade or longer. What we do here is an activity only a small percentage of the population can, will, or are interested it doing. This is why lurkers will always outnumber posters, that is just the nature of things.
