According to Kathryn Barger, the Chair of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, there are "eight hundred and ninety thousand film and entertainment employees, many of whom may not be working."

"We are gypsies who will dance practically anywhere for a hot meal and per diem," says Debbie Allen.

1.881 Million+ Confirmed Coronavirus 2019-nCoV Stunning Cases: 108,000+ Deaths and 646, 000+ Recovered, USA, Since January 20,2020, an age of  "A New Abnormality.”  Worldometers, Coronavirus, WOW!

Globally, the Covid-19 virus is sickening and killing human beings on planet earth at an alarming rate. The deadly COVID-19 pandemic is An Airborne Illness Possibility, Aerodynamically Fashioned "With" Transmittable Omnipresence (AAIPADFWTOP).  Unfortunately, our day-to-day realities of joblessness, emotional dilemmas; the continuance of police brutality against minorities, various environmental calamities; man-made infrastructure catastrophes, financial bankruptcies, and unemployment, are causing HAVOC, widespread discontent, homelessness, and DEATH!  Somehow, through it ALL, “We Americans will need to focus on building generational wealth, instead of generational debt.” --- Avril Smalls.

Nevertheless, happenings in real time, I suppose, that this present era has been called an age of discoveries: aviation, medicine, science, technology, hope, and despair.  Looking back in time, it is all these things and more too.

See How Mental Counselor Nijaah Howard Survived Custody Harassment And Other Issues To Raise An Independently Successful Son

Get a Copy of Raising John's Boy

Nijaah Howard is a new author of Raising John’s Boy.  She pre-launched her book in March, but it will be released nationwide everywhere books are sold in June 2020.  Raising Johns Boy is a self-help memoir and guide to help single mothers who are raising son’s alone to discover their strength, voice, and power while eliminating negative self-talk and fear of raising a boy.

This book is a raw, honest approach to how Nijaah raised her son, M-Jay.  The hope is that the reader will take away practical tools to alleviate any concerns or misconceptions of a woman raising a boy into an independent, self-sufficient, stand up man. 

 

Over 60 % of the African American household is run by women. Nijaah’s hope is to reduce the rate of single parent households tomorrow by helping mother’s who are raising son’s today.  Despite the over a decade back and forth in custody court, thoughts of suicide, thrown into jail by her son’s father, the many days of self-blame, the disparity of treatment from the system because she was not financially better than her son’s father, she still had dreams.

Although Nijaah was granted full custody early on, the manipulation, bullying, and control during court was paralyzing. She was determined to fight for her and her son’s future. With years of personal growth and development through counsel and coaching she overcame everything and graduated with her master’s degree and her son graduated the same year with high honors from High School.

AS THE EARTH STOOD STILL, BLACK COVID-19 PATIENTS DIED DISPROPORTIONATELY IN HOSPITALS

Nationwide -- A superpower made powerless. The world's healthcare organizations have no medical cure. The global economy halted. Airplanes grounded. Cars parked. Schools and college campuses closed. Record-setting unemployment. Hospitals, morgues, and funeral homes overwhelmed. These are the days the earth stood still.

However, even during the pandemic, African-American COVID-19 patients are dying disproportionately. One study suggests that race is a major factor in COVID-19 treatment. The study found that Black patients with COVID-19 symptoms are tested far less than white patients.

Around the world, it's the poor who live in overcrowded conditions and make up the essential workforce for most economies that are dying at alarming rates.

WHY AMERICA NEEDS A GEORGE FLOYD TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSION

George Floyd Picture Right and I Can't Breathe Sign Source Wikipedia

By Op-ed Contributor Tolson Banner

George Floyd was murdered at the hands of the police.  Floyd’s murder flips the switch on the floodlights that now illuminate all of the other murders of unarmed black people at the hands of the police who have sworn to protect and serve.

It is the police who represent  one of the first lines of government  that blacks encounter and that encounter have been brutal and deadly.  What we witness over and over again is police carrying out  policies and laws instituted by politicians on the local, state and federal levels allowing police to operate with impunity.

  

What the murder of George Floyd has done was to put America on notice about her historical treatment of blacks since the beginning of the Atlantic enslavement trade.  For those who think blacks are only seeking justice for George Floyd miss the entire picture.  America via slave trackers, vigilante groups, KKK, Jim Crow, segregation, lynchings, housing discrimination, redlining and gentrification keeps the historical knee on the neck of all black people.
