So I guess we can count on Saturday Night WNBA with the Indiana Fever? Are there any other teams in the W?

Angel Reese today 18 points 17 rebounds. Damn, I miss her here in the Chi.

What's an old guy like me doing out here Power Walking in 85 degree weather and high humidity? At least I survived! Enjoy your Saturday people!

Meredith Continued; many are put off by Meredith's quote about being labeled an African American but examine the quote by Toni Morrison and connect the dots. "In this country American means White. Everyone else has to hyphenate." Meredith is just stating that we have ownership here in America!

youtu.be/798VvtYCinE AAHIAH explores the legacy of James Weldon Johnson—Harlem Renaissance icon, NAACP leader, and creator of the Black National Anthem, "Lift Every Voice and Sing." Plus, hear a rare 1948 “Destination Freedom” radio broadcast on his life beyond his literary accomplishments.

African American Quotes; On Identity; "Don't call me an African American; I am a citizen of the United States of America. That's the destination that I want everybody to reach." - James Meredith

Finally, on this day in 1966, Activist James Meredith was wounded by a white sniper in Mississippi. Meredith is better known for being the 1st African American to attend segregated University of Mississippi after intervention from the federal government. Born June,25, 1933, he is still alive today

Also, on this day in 1946, The Basketball Association of America is formed in New York City. How appropriate is it that 80 years later The New York Knicks are 2 wins away from the championship.

Good Morning; on this day in 1938, Sigmund Freud arrives in London, fleeing the Nazi annexation of Austria. Frued, more than likely used logic over emotion one would think?

Somewhere Tibbs is saying, if I would have just played my bench!

Knicks starters are slowing the tempo, they have to push and move as those reserves did. Too much holding the ball by Brunson.

Love how this game is being called by the Refs! Grown Man basketball! Yes!

Wemby hasn't enough experience against a Grown Ass Man like KAT who he only plays twice a year.

Good to see one of the Knicks greats Bill Bradley on "The Beat" with Ari tonight. At 82 Senator Bradley is still sharp minded and urging on his former team. Bradley entered Princeton on a basketball scholarship but became "magna cum laude" and became a Rhodes Scholar.

You start to wonder how much money is enough? For years the Chicago Bears were bottom feeders in the NFL but still profitable, seaching out these tax breaks is a bit much for me. I'm not getting any tax breaks, but we will all still remain Bears fans.

Visiting teams will have no interest in hanging out in depressing Hammond Indiana.

Well Chicago, can you say the "Hammond Indiana Bears?"

African American Quotes; "Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are." - Kareem Addul-Jabbar

Lastly, on this day in 2018, US President Donald Trump administration's policy of separating immigrant children from their families violates international law according to the UN. This due never had respect for the rule of law whether domestic or international, yet he gets elected?

Finally, on this day in 1968, Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy was gunned down by Palestinian Sirhan Sirhan while campaigning at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California. Kennedy would die the very next day. BTW, RFK must be turning in his grave with the behavior of his son.

Also, on this day in 1956, US Federal court rules racial segregation on Montgomery, Alabama buses as anti-Constitutional. Today, Alabama is doing all that it can to strip Black folks of these victories and restore the Jim Crow era.

Good morning: On this day in 1851, Anti-slavery novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe first published in serial form in "The National era" This work energized anti-slavery forces in the American North, while provoking widespread anger in the South.

I'm just waiting for the next game so I can see Olivia Miles.

Atlanta picked a bad night for a poor shooting effort. They will need bench help going forward.

OK, don't threaten us with a good time!

The San Antonio Spurs came to play a game last night but the New York Knicks came on a business trip. Knicks left the court angry after the win. They aren't done yet!

African American Quotes; "The dream was not to put one Black family in the Whitehouse, the dream was to make everything equal in everybody's house." - Al Sharpton

Finally, on this day in 2020, Reverend Al Sharpton leads a Memorial for George Floyd who was killed by a policeman in Minneapolis when this officer, Derrick Chauvin kept his knee on Floyd's neck for more than 9 minutes until Floyd's succumbed to his death. One of Reverend Al's finest sermons!

Also, on this day in 1972,Black Activist Angela Davis is acquitted of killing a white guard. Davis, one of the most sought- out Black women of the 20th century went on into the field of education as I would pay dearly to sit in on one of her lectures.

Good Morning; On this day in 1919, the US Congress passes the "Women's Suffrage Bill" the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote. ( Bill did not include Black women)

One down! Go Knicks!

Looks like the Gods don't want Jalen Brunson to play in this game tonight?

At some point we have to examine Tyler Marsh and his ability to manage the talent? Even with Rickea out Sky should be better than 3 wins and 6 losses. Skylar Diggins- HOF Bound Natasha Cloud- very good player. Azure Stevens- coming off her best season when in L.A. As examples.

African American Quotes: "Identity is a prison you can never escape, but the way to redeem your past is not to run from it, but to try to understand it, and use it as a foundation to grow." - Jay-Z

Lastly, on this day in 2019, Jay-Z is named the world's first billionaire Rapper by Forbes Magazine.

Finally, on this day in 1967, Aretha Franklin's hit song "Respect" hits #1 on the charts. The song originally done by the great Otis Redding.

Also, on this day in 1949, Wesley Anthony Brown becomes the 1st African American to graduate from the US Naval Academy. "Right On Brother!"

Good Morning; On this day in 1943, a mob of 60 from the Los Angeles Naval Reserve Armory attacks anyone perceived to be Hispanic, starting the week long "Zoot Suit Riots" I once saw a movie about this years ago with the great James Olmos.

Sky; at this point just get the ball to Taylor and get out of her way!

I've just learned that R&B singer Peabo Bryson has indeed transitioned. Rest in Heavenly glory. 🙏

The Chicago Sky have to find a way to win tonight or we are for sure headed to the basement in the standings. I would start Sidney Taylor over Jacee Sheldon and activate Maddie Wesbeld who has an offensive game over Coulabali. We need scoring. Hopefully Gabriela is returning tonight.

I never want to hear the term "Ghetto" ever again as it relates to Black neighborhoods as the Whitehouse is now a free-standing trailer park holding a UFC Fight on the Whitehouse grounds. How far America has fallen under this classless clown!

African American Quotes; "Intemperance and intolerance serves no one, and hatred guarantees failure. " - Edward Brooke. ( 1st African American elected to the US Senate by popular vote.)

Lastly, on this day in 1997, Timothy McVeigh is found guilty of the 1995 bombing of Oaklahoma City killing 168 people. One of the worst tragedies in American history. 🙏

Finally, on this day in 1967, race riots began in the Roxbury section of Boston. As a one-time Bostonian I can tell you that Roxbury is a Black/Brown neighborhood that stays under the watchful eyes of law enforcement.

Also, on this day in 1899, Black Americans observe a day of fasting in protest against lynchings. During the Reconstruction period and well into the Redemption period White mobs felt comfortable lynching Black folks for the slightest insane reasoning. Today its systemic lynchings taking place.

Good Morning; On this day in 1863, Harriett Tubman leads Union Guerrillas into Maryland freeing the Enslaved. This, is what American Heorism looks like!

I would love to hear what Magic thinks of Olivia Miles. This young lady is very exciting to watch.

WNBA; it's early but you'd have to include Jessica Sheppard from Dallas as a top ten player right now. Love her game.

Miles Garrett to the Rams just ain't fair! A.J.Brown to the Patriots is a relief for the Eagles. What's next NFL?
