Perception Blerd, Y'not?

Cajun and I cover the events of the last month from the Chauvin verdict to the shooting of Ma'Khia Bryant in Columbus. This is a long one and we jump around a bit but we cover a lot. Thank you to my patrons, Ryan Kinney, Tara Hawkins and Mark Sanzotta.

Back at it again. Took some time to clear my head, was hoping to refine some of my anger and truthfully I didn't and don't need to. I need to be angry, I need to be upset. People are still being hurt and worse but instead some of y'all are worried about a cartoon dog and a syrup bottle. Shows us how you really feel about things. My words are my weapons, always have been, so this episode, this one is FOR THE CULTURE!

A heartfelt review of the short comic book Wonder Care The Kinder Guardians: What Matters. Written by Victor Dandridge and illustrated by Justin Castaneda. The story is a reflection of our current world including the protests and raw emotions shown through the eyes of children. I can't say enough about this story as it strikes a chord and is incredibly reminiscent of the conversations I have to have with my own daughter about the current state of our country, those who are supposed to protect and serve and why some of them are hurting people that look like us. This is a five star read and if you are having trouble talking to your loved ones about the protesting and why we are hurt and angry, then I highly recommend What Matters: A Wonder Care Story.

Me reflecting on current events in the world pertaining to the black community. Some of you will understand and some of y'all ain't gonna like it but this needs to be said. George Floyd, Ahmad Arbury and Christian Cooper are all black people and I could have easily been any of the three of them. Remember that before you speak.
