The Day When African-Americans Pulled their Money during the Boycott of Montgomery Alabama

APACHE JUNCTION AZ (IFS) -- Racism in America is just more than guns, schools, the right to drink water at the same fountain.  The right to vote.  The right to liberty and justice.  It's also epidemic in the financial world, as the major banks for many years have redlined many Black Americans homes and businesses.   The farmers that are totally discriminated against, and that Black Americans with over $600 Billion Dollars in wealth in property;  these American Banks redline their property and cut their wealth in their homes.  It's been a long uphill climb from the beginning, as the banks steal the wealth of people of color.  The one word that scares Money America to death is "BOYCOTT".  When the American Americans started to picket the buses in Montgomery Alabama, the one thing that they did include in their protest was the boycotting of all of the businesses in that city and the surrounding areas.  As long as your money is green, the lifeblood of all of the businesses is withdrawn as in the days of Rosa Parks -- the economic damage is severe and at many times very fatal for the businesses.  African-Americans have more power then they realize.

Bank Sued for Redlining ; Racial Discrimination in Mortgage Loans

The New York State attorney general has sued Evans Bank, a regional lender in western NY, claiming it discriminated against African-Americans by denying them mortgage loans. This type of loan is given for the purpose of buying land, a house and/or other buildings. In exchange, the borrower gives the lender a security interest, called a mortgage, in the property. If the borrower fails to repay the loan, the mortgage enables the lender to foreclose on the property, meaning pursue a legal proceeding designed to oust the borrower and take possession.

Excluded is a part of Buffalo where 75% of Buffalo’s African American population reside.

The lawsuit alleges the bank violated the Fair Housing Act, a federal law passed in 1968. That Act prohibits discrimination in the sale or rental of housing by landlords, banks and other lending institutions in the sale or rental of housing. The protected categories include race, color, religion, sex, national origin, family status (children), or disability.

Cindy Hyde-Smith - The Last of the Old Plantation Politicians

APACHE JUNCTION AZ (IFS) -- Former Secretary Mike Espy's last-minute runoff that came up short for the office of US Senator, will not spell the end of the campaign, but the beginning of a torrent of nightmares in Washington, D.C. for the race batting confederate senator.  She will not be able to run away from her answers as the reporters will be on her case from day one.

For the first time in Mississippi's history, a black candidate had closed the gap to challenge for the chance to be the first Senator in the state of Mississippi sent reconstruction to go to Washington.  What this election proves is that Secretary Espy just lost the battle -- not the war.

Espy's run for the Senate proves that a new and larger battle is up and running for 2020.  It shows that there is a new voice of voters coming in huge waves that will affect all of the local and state offices forever.  While Senator Hyde-Smith played the "Race Card" in great strength, it proves that she is the last of the old guard taking a run upstream to spawn in a long-ago past era that will have her eaten up by her own cancerous words.

Hyde-Smith is cancer that has robbed Mississippi of its wealth and has destroyed its children after years of hate-filled rhetoric.  She is the last of her kind,  A Dinosaur long extinct, a voice yelling in the woods that will not be heard from again in the new age to come.

Hyde-Smith will be hounded by reporters to explain herself as she has tied her fortune and future to President Trump for a short-term gain that is fleeting.  Hyde-Smith is not a leader, but a follower.  She has no leadership skills and is easily lead by the nose.  She has swallowed the poison pill a long time ago.  It's time released and killing her off very slowly.  This runoff is just the beginning of the end for racist carpetbaggers like her.

The old saying is that, ". . .you live by the sword; you will die by the sword."  In her case, the hand with the sword is already cocked and pulled back, with only the drop of the hand to decapitate her and send her packing into the past with the likes of Traitors as Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and others that declared war on the United States.

Mississippi keeps the title of the most racist and slave state in the union

Apache Junction AZ (IFS)- It was a no brainier that the poorest state in the United States still wanted to cling to it's old ways and opted out of making progress and money for their people.

It's better to put a gunshot in your own foot then to change the economy of your state.  Those people must really hate themselves so bad, that they would rather jump into a hole filled with fecol matter in their Sunday best, then to get any investments into their state that would help everyone.

It's just amazing how self inflicted gun wounds is perfect for a backwards state that refuses to grow up and still fight the civil war that they lost over 100 years ago, and still love self pity and to wallow in hatred that is so destructive for their young people and thirty percent of their citizens.

Why do you want to live in such a negative environment and with people who are dying by their own hands?

It's so sad to see and watch.  I'd rather be hateful, stupid and poor, then to lift ourselves up to be one of the greatest States in the United States.  We in Mississippi love living in poverty and ignorance.

“Angel Music Lover” is one of the songs from the musical screenplay “Finding David”. There are several life themes contained in the work which are represented by the musical performances contained within the screenplay. Although many of the themes deal with change “Angel Music Lover” represents the “Power of Love” which resists the erosion of our memories and overcomes our own egos and regrets. In the song it is asked, “Why after twenty years should the flame still burn?” There is also the question, “Was the Lover in love with the music or the singer?”

            The inspiration behind the musical screenplay and video is from real life experiences. David Simmons and Andy Camp were in a band together in the late sixties. Fame and fortune were not to be theirs, but the seeds were planted in the beginning, songs written at the time, and David’s poems carefully stored away. Forty Five years later those two, having become professional performers, producers, and writers, hooked up to finish the songs they had started as teenagers. They engaged their friend and guitar player from the time, Esa Lehti and the stage was set. Not satisfied that the song lyrics themselves could encompass all the emotions from their reunion, it was decided a musical was possible. In a yearlong project, David and Andy then wrote “Finding David”, helped along by David’s accurate lyrical source, his late sixties poetry. It encompassed multiple themes in the music including intervals of time and Karma. Incidentally the name of the band back in the sixties was: “The Intervals”. Fearlessly they set out to write a screenplay, a new genre for both of them.

            To best introduce the song “Angel Music Lover”, David produced a video in his very recognizable theatrical style pitting the themes of age, youth, love and regret against each other in “action intervals” of sight and sound. All performers will tell you the same thing, “We are nothing without the millions of “Angel Music Lovers” out there. Without the fans our work is for nothing. We hope this video resonates with some of your life experiences and makes an emotional connection that will transcend the interval of time.
