As @aka Contrarian mentioned in another thread, fhe great Jazz saxophonist, Sonny Rollins has joined the celestial orchestra. Sonny Rollins was the last living musician in this 1958 picture A Great Day in Harlem: His legacy as a musician is cemented. Thanks for the music. RIP Mr. Sonny Rollins.😎

If you guys weren't constantly bitchin' and whining about the lingering injustices of slavery in this country and the institutionalized racism that is designed to stifle Blacks, and keep them in their place and the omnipresent spectre of white supremacy and on and on and on, maybe Richard wouldn't look askance at the ambiguity of your relationship with this country. Troy bristles with his contempt f or the pervasiveness of social media and all it involves, and ProfD makes no secret about being armed and amenable to vigilancy, never wavering in his goal of reparations. Funny, I never got the impression that Richard was a member of a different generation than you two. His thinking is not archaic, to me. All of which contributes to the elusiveness of black unity. In watching the recentPBS special on WEB DuBois, I can't help but wonder what tribe he would belong to, were he still with us. I, personally, have given up categorizing folks. How one views the world depends on their core personality, imo. 🙄
