MY TRUTH
By Cheryl Smith Publisher
Collaboration is a beautiful concept. When journalists of color decided there was strength in numbers, I was excited that we were joining together with Asian, Hispanic and Native American journalists. The organization was called UNITY: Journalists of Color. There were so many lessons I learned over the years and I know my life has been enriched by the relationships that have been established and nurtured over the decades. When an opportunity arose to join the Unity Mentoring Project, I didn’t hesitate. I learned so much and made life-long friends. One exercise that further instilled in me the need to know my history, had to be our formal introduction where we talked about who we were and where we were from. That one exercise put the spotlight on the damage that slavery had done to African people. Very few of us (Blacks) could point to a native language or trace back to before 1619. While others could point to Mexico or Spain; Tokyo or the Philippines; the Cherokee or Piyute nation; many Blacks were clueless or someone might jokingly say something like, “well my mom is from the south side of Chicago.” We clearly knew, as everyone else did, that there was a disconnect. Now there was another “exercise” that may be uncomfortable for some or it might make you angry.

Excuses are... Well here goes! Part of the Unity Project was getting to know others. With this knowledge, not only would we be better journalists; we’d be better people. Well, as we met in different cities, we went to different places to eat. If the National Association of Hispanic Journalists were planning the menu, we went to a Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, et al restaurant. If the Asian American Journalists
Which brings me to my truth here! Someone needs to explain to me why some BLACK organizations don’t make shopping BLACK a priority? Why isn’t it the natural thing to do? I’ve heard variations, but I will stick with the one I know: “Excuses are the tools of incompetence that build monuments of nothing and those who specialize in them are seldom good at anything else!”
“Excuses are the tools of incompetence that build monuments of nothing and those who specialize in them are seldom good at anything else!” Association hosted, we ate Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino, et al. If the Native American Journalists Association hosted, we were sure to have venison, fry bread and other Native American dishes on the menu. However, I do not recall going anywhere, when the National Association of Black Journalists hosted, where “Soul” food was on the menu.
For the life of me, I can’t understand how you can be a Black business owner, belong to a Black Church, be a leader in a Black organization and when you have an opportunity to take people to eat; the first place you run to is a non-Black restaurant. Save the arguments: the staff is rude, the service is slow, the food is unhealthy, and so on. We can find

Hollywood Hernandez Live By Hollywood Hernandez

Theron is very relatable in Tully In Tully, Charlize Theron is Marlo, a mother with a newborn and two more challenging elementary school kids. Tully is a modern day "Mary Poppins" who is hired by Marlo's well-todo brother to give her some relief from her day-to-day mommy duties. Tully is a night nanny so only Marlo, and the baby, have interaction with her. The two eventually form a special bond after Marlo gets over her initial fear that the quirky Tully may be trying to kill her family during the night. Tully's optimism brings Marlo back to the version of herself who was once passionate about life, her kids and her husband. The movie is a realistic version of life for a mother with a newborn and a special needs son. It's a
very funny film and anyone who has kids will easily relate to the storyline. Diablo Cody, who won Best Screenwriter for 2007's Juno, is the writer of Tully. Her sense of humor comes through in the movie's script. Cody is not one to rely on clichĂŠs', but rather on modern mundane things that we see and go through in our day-
to-day life, such as the difficulty of living a normal life when your breasts are always leaking mother's milk. Expressing milk is a big part of the movie and Cody makes the scenarios hilarious. Also, pay attention to some clues in the movie that help you to understand the ending. (I won't say any more so that I don't ruin the plot for you.) Theron gained 50 pounds for her role in the movie and is very convincing as a new mother. She says a steady diet of processed food and In and Out Burger helped her to create her physique. Tully has a run time of 1 hour and 36 minutes and is rated R for language and some nudity. It is a very adult comedy. On my "Hollywood Popcorn Scale" I rate Tully a LARGE.

Ministry Entrepreneur Explosion Conference is Coming to Dallas
This is NOT a worship conference. This is for artists who want to use their music ministry gifts beyond their local church! The Incubator Creative Group presents the Ministry Entrepreneur Explosion Conference using Christian music as a tool of evangelism, encouragement and ministry beyond the conventional possibilities of Sunday church services. The Explosion is not another worship conference. It has a decided emphasis on the performance aspects of music verses the use of music in a worship setting. The Explosion also illuminates a perspective for making a music ministry work as a sustainable small business enterprise or self-supporting hobby. You want information? We’ve got information. The Explosion is more than a conference. It is an experience. It includes not only the live event itself but also seven hours of pre-conference online training and interaction.
This in-advance experience provides a unique vehicle to facilitate the development of a relationship between you as an artist and Incubator (the sponsor of the Explosion). The Explosion utilizes a proven system for growth deployed by Incubator over its 30year history… Active Relational Training (ART). The result of ART is the establishment and deepening of a relationship between each artist and Incubator, which correspondingly creates a high level of energy and positive atmosphere among the registrants gathered for the live event. The Explosion may feel more like a family reunion than an educational event! The Ministry Explosion will come to Dallas on Friday and Saturday July 27th and 28th. It’s a can’t miss weekend (Friday night and and all day Saturday) conference igniting Christian artists to take their music and message beyond Sundays!

QUIT PLAYIN’
Kanye Unchained: Stephen or Django?
By Vincent L. Hall
There is no logical, literary, or lyrical path from Kanye’s socially-conscious diatribes and stated beliefs that would lead any critical thinker to predict his recent tethering to Donald
“The John” Trump. Most Americans found it surreal and surprising to see Fox News featuring Kanye replacing Stacey Dash as its chief colored correspondent. Kanye’s bewildering betrayal buoys my standing argument that since slavery was “grandfathered,” wealthy White folks have adapted to the enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation. Since 1863, or 1865 if you live in Texas, modern-day “plantation owners” don’t buy Negroes; they just rent them. It’s safer, cheaper and environmentally efficient. Anyone who truly loved Kanye’s image and his dialectical genius in affairs of the mind and “The Souls of Black Folk” was crushed. It sent me back to the drawing board. That drawing board for me in the Trump era is the last six minutes of Django Unchained. In Django’s epilogue, the freedmen confronted the House Negro In Charge (HNIC). Stephen, heartened by the notion that Django lacked additional ammunition remarked; “I count six shots Nigga!” Django retorts; “I count two guns Nigga.” Django took Stephen out at the kneecaps and detonated some strategically planted sticks of dynamite. Stephen and “Candie Land” were decimated. Progress usually blossoms when evil institutions are vanquished. However,
the role of Stephen will live forever, We know Kanye and his pregnant wife Kim saw Django on New Year’s Day 2013, at The Grove in L.A. We know it because Perez Hilton’s website said it and they keep a keen eye on the whereabouts of rich and rising Negro athletes and musicians. But for your sake, here are my cliff notes. In Quentin Tarantino’s social cinematic discourse, Django played by Jamie Foxx, is a slave living in the Deep South. True to custom, Django was purposely estranged from his wife; Broomhilda, and was awry with guilt and anguish. While Django is being “featured” in a slave auction, Dr. King Schultz, a German dentist turned bounty hunter, frees
him from the Speck brothers; some vicious and onerous slave owners and catchers. Remarkably, Django is granted a once in a lifetime opportunity to kill a gang of White “slavers” whom Django knows and despises. A bond slave killing his oppressors for pay has to be the penultimate motivation in terms of professional objectives. Anyone who left this movie without a keener understanding of how brutal slave owners and slave police pooled their efforts is in denial. Django depicts the reality of American slavery well enough to secure reparations.
From the brutal Mandingo fights to iron shackles and brass faceguards, this movie makes the blockbuster series “Roots” like a musical about slaves “who made a choice,” but fell on hard times. Django Unchained had movements that played beneath the violence. For the simple, it was caustic; blood and guts. For the sophist, the film represents a treasure trove of perplexing plots and nerve-wracking novellas at work contemporaneously. So here is the darker summary...Django like many other slaves was viciously severed from the woman he loved and would do anything to get her back. That pursuit leads him to deceive, maim and kill anyone in his way. Anyone could track Kanye’s sickness to the loss of his mother. That’s understandable, but that logic should make him Django…not Stephen. The optimistic summary is that racial justice is achievable. Django proved that when Black and Whites converge as equals they can overcome the evil empire of the ruling White class being abetted by selfish Negroes. Rented Negroes relish in being the favorite, the only or the other. This summary doesn’t help Kanye either. Aiding Trump in his White Nationalist xenophobic causes is dishonorable regardless of race or ethnicity. At some point, Kanye West abandoned the role of Django, and the part of Stephen revokes his reputation as a revolutionary. Whether he plays Stephen or Django, Kanye is always unchained. Vincent L. Hall is an author, activist and
award-winning journalist.

Sensible gun legislation
by Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson
The overwhelming majority of Americans support sensible gun legislation that would keep deadly firearms out of the hands of the mentally challenged, abolish the sale of weapons used in war to private citizens, and stop the purchase of firearms by anyone under the age of twenty-one. As a member of Congress I supported the 1994 ban on assault weapons sales, and other reasonable measures to eliminate the murders of our citizens. Ten years later I was saddened when the assault weapons ban was
lifted. Since that time the number of Americans killed by citizens with such weapons has increased dramatically. Even senior law enforcement officials in our country continuously lobby for a ban on assault weapons, but their efforts are defeated by the lobbying efforts of the National Rifle Association, one of the most powerful lobbying groups in our country Even in the face of the slaughter of children in our schools, and innocent teenagers on the streets of our cities, the leadership of the National Rifle Association continues to oppose laws that sociologists and professional law enforcement officials state would lead to a decrease in killings in America. They argue, and advertise to their membership, that any effort to limit weapons use and sales is an assault
on the Second Amendment, knowing full well that the vast majority of their membership either has not read the amendment, or is confused about its meaning. It was disheartening to learn that during the recent convention of the National Rifle Association in Dallas, attended by 75,000 people, young children were allowed to play with balloons shaped as though they were AR-15’s, the same weapon that has been used to kill nearly 180 people in mass shootings in the United States during the past eleven years. No doubt, many of those that attended the NRA conference would prefer to see sensible gun legislation, but their thinking is often blurred by those that lead them. It is my hope that they will reject the narrow minds that are at the head of their organization.
13
Instead they must begin to consider the leadership of corporations such as Walmart and Dick’s Sporting Goods that have in response to mass shootings have stopped the sales of assault weapons in their stores. In fact, Dick’s Sporting Goods decided to destroy the weapons that they had purchased from manufacturers instead of returning them for a refund. They should also look to our young high school students, such as those in North Texas and throughout the country, who have called for sensible gun legislation. They have had enough and have said that they will turn out in large numbers at the polls in the November elections to oppose any candidate that refuses to support their position. I am proud to stand with them, and urge you to follow their lead!
