Black delivery driver blocked into Oklahoma neighborhood by HOA president

I don't normally post super serious posts on my blog but this one...Listen, there has been a serious increase in racially motivated situations - by people who have self-ordained themselves as being above others and in power. Often times, these situations end up with people of color being at best arrested and at worse murdered!

In the article below, this Black delivery driver was prevented from exiting this neighborhood after he was there legitimately doing a job, performing a service. These men (pictured) decided that he didn't belong. Why? Would it have been the same if the delivery driver had not been BLACK?

I am so thankful this didn't end up in a much worse situation. I applaud the driver for maintaining as much composure as he did in this situation.

THIS HAS GOT TO STOP! How can we as a nation continue to see/hear about these types of situations and nothing changes? At what point do we all - BLACK, WHITE, HISPANIC, ASIAN, etc.- when do WE decide enough is enough?

Oscar Chronicles - All By Myself

Hola, mis amigos. I'm not going to ask if you missed me because - well, I already know you did. But more than that, I'm not going to ask because I'm sad, angry and hungry. Okay, perhaps I'm always interested in some snacks...Anyway, your Oscar is sad. Why? Is because a couple of weeks ago mi persona favorito decided to remodel his room. No really! He took all of the things out of the room - even my bed! At first I was angry thinking that he was kicking me out! He even took down his posters and emptied his closet! But then I started seeing him bringing some stuff back. Several pairs of his zapatos, some shirts and chaquetas. Some things he even put in the basura! Things that were too small or too old - you know how they do, right? So yes, A MAJOR CLEANING. His room was like SUPER CLEAN. He and his Papa also bought in new stuff. New zapatos, shirts, pants. The new stuff he put into a new bag. Nice! Good storage. It even has wheels!! So he can move it around a lot easi...

POP QUIZ

You guys ever take one of those online quizzes? " WHAT YOUR FAVORITE COLOR SAYS ABOUT YOU" ... Or the ones about your astrological sign? "WHAT MAKES A CANCER HAPPY?". .. "IF YOU'RE A PISCES YOU ARE THE ROMANTIC TYPE" If you did, were the results accurate? I mean did they fit you and your personality? I've taken a few of these sorts of quizzes - just for fun. Astrology? Yeah, I've read my horoscope from time to time. Most of the time the results and the astrological stuff kinda fit and sometimes I'm like - hmm, that is SOOOOO not me. Either way, they usually make me think wow, am I really like that? I took a personality quiz - basically it was to determine if you are left-brained or right-brained. Most agree now that there isn't a clear distinction and that most people have traits/characteristics of both. Here are my results...pretty good but definitely missing a few Like there was nothing mentioned about me being artistic or imagin...

Golden Haze

There I was...minding my own business (no really, I was - this time) thought I'd do some note taking, some observing (okay maybe not completely minding my own business), get some ideas for some posts...and the craziest thing happened. I started noticing a few people walk by my table, look at me - stare at me really, some snickered, some outright laughed. I was thinking sheesh, what's up? No one said anything - just looked at me, looked down at my table, looked at me, laughed or chuckled and walked away...that was until this guy walked over and sat down next to me. Immediately, my internal alert system went into overdrive!!! STRANGER DANGER!!! Then he says the craziest thing to me... Stranger: Hey, yeah so are you here regularly? (ALARM IS GETTING LOUDER) Me: Excuse me? Stranger: Nah, I'm just saying if you're here like on the reg, and you're bold enough to advertise the merch I'm straight going to switch my loyalty to you. Me: DAFUQ! (INTER...
