Finally, I have made my way back to these pages, although not with time to say much of what I’d like to, especially in any depth or detail. — In the foreseeable future, I plan to post something, after I have time to organize more of my thoughts. — I saw a short feature on one of the t.v. channels about the resignation of Kwesi Mfume from his NAACP position. Frankly, I have no strong reactions, although I am not too surprised. — In our day and time, we use too many old, obsolete terms that mis-describe too many people. — I think a political tradition separates American aboriginals from the word “colored”, for example, since whatever is not “white” obviously [is] “colored”. — At any rate, we “mixies” are fortunate to have some continuation into the contemporary North American [communities], and more communication forums.
