Update on Lebron Kong


A contributor on www.democraticunderground.com has claimed that Leibovitz was copying a 1917 Army recruiting poster. Apparently, Leibovitz has based photos on previous works in the past. Here is the recruiting poster and the Vogue cover. You decide.

I understand about stereotypes and the long history of an ape or beast used in reference to black men and black male sexuality but the thing is... I can't work up any outrage. There are real problems out there.

And Lebron makes a good ape. Have at that white woman!!!!! LOL

My Ancestor's Slave Master Revealed

Slavery info shocks, explains, liberates By Kelvin Wade October 13, 2010 On Monday, my brother Tony wrote about coming across some genealogical information on the Wade family. The info piqued my interest because several months ago I opened an account on Ancestry.com hoping to piece together the history of the Wades. I was stymied trying to go back further than my great-grandparents. When I received the information from Tony, I used it to do some more digging and was astonished at what I found. Of course, I knew my ancestors were slaves but it's different when you have a name and dollar amount to attach to them. It is horrific knowing our great-great-great grandparents Ned and Anarchy Wade and their three children were slaves in San Augustine, Texas. How do you own humans as slaves? And if that isn't bad enough, how do you to that to children? While it's sad and moving, it's cleared up a mystery for me. Our father told us that Johnny Allen Wade, who was killed in the Ok...

Remembering Matt Garcia

Image
Ten years ago, I woke up and turned on my laptop and went to the Daily Republic website and was devastated to learn of the shooting of Fairfield City Councilman Matt Garcia. I immediately called my brother Tony who answered and knew why I was calling. We shared our shock and horror. But mainly we just cried together on the phone. Later when Matt had been removed from life support and passed away I told Tony that it felt like hope itself had died. He told me, “Matt has inspired too many people to let hope die. But hope took a beating today.” It seemed like some horrible cosmic joke. Twenty-one year old Matt Garcia, elected to the Fairfield City Council on a platform of supporting youth and curbing violence is murdered on the streets of Fairfield. What's worse, his killer mistook him for someone else. It was a pointless act of evil in which a worthless example of a human being took the life of a priceless one. In 2007 Matt invited me to lunch at Joe's Buffet to discuss...

Keep Your Hands To Yourself

May 16, 2012 | Domestic violence a continuing scourge Posted by Kelvin Wade It’s a shame that the only video I have of my deceased brother Ken is a grainy one, filmed by our dad on Thanksgiving 1989 as he “interviews” Ken and his girlfriend. While Ken makes jokes and his girlfriend jokes that he’s “hardheaded” and “crazy,” you can see the underlying tension. (It is this video that I shared with Ken’s girlfriend’s son a year ago so he would have video of his mother.) I knew their relationship was chaotic. But what I couldn’t foresee was that in six months they’d both be dead by his hand. According to information by SafeQuest Solano, an organization that provides domestic violence prevention education and support services for victims of violence, in the past two years, 20 men and women in Solano County died as a result of domestic violence. Five of them were murder-suicides that left a dozen children behind. I don’t know if the numbers really describe the extent of this problem. When I...
