How Sweet it Is

For as long as Heck was a pup, every year, every Christmas the phone rings, its that time again. This year 2020, I started thinking ahead knowing Christmas was not far away. Thank you Mr. Albert & Mrs. Gloria Sweet. Kinder missed the dialogue, but understood maybe next time. Thanks always, everything died so quickly thought about giving y’all a ring but was shame. Happy New Year, looking forward thanks! Give our regards to the family, children and grandchildren. Christmas just ain’t Christmas without the Sweets!

Playing Others’ Game

When will Black Folks in America be able to be Black? Wouldn’t it be refreshing to be Black without consequences. Black folks, it’s been time to invest and believe in ourselves! Black potential has been stymied by Blacks playing others game! We had our own during segregation until integration robbed us.
