April showers are supposed to bring May
flowers. But, that’s not what I’m seeing
as folks spent the last 30 days counting
down to how they’d report on President
Trump’s 100 days in office.
The
PUBLISHER’S
Pen
Y’all know who these pundits are. So,
there is no real need to list them here.
All you have to do is tune into cable
news. Meanwhile, what’s getting lost in
the sauce is what’s happening at the
local level in places like Chicago, Detroit,
and Philly.
Don’t get me wrong. The young brothers
and sisters on these same shows are
both articulate and photogenic. That’s
cool and they’re in demand all along the
public speaking circuit at colleges and
universities across the country.
Fine with me. I ain’t mad at ‘em. I often
wonder how committed these influencers
are to true democracy, though.
Meanwhile, Congresswoman Maxine
Waters and Senator Elizabeth Warren
were just in Detroit for the NAACP Free-
dom Fighters Dinner. By the end of the
week, Facebook Chairman and CEO
Mark Zuckerberg was meeting with exec-
utives at Ford Motor Company.
And, now Zuckerberg is a potential
candidate to run for President of the
United States in the Year of Our Lord
2020? Man, listen….
Think about it: If you’ve got national
politicians giving speeches in Downtown
Detroit amid a roomful of Black church
folk in April 2017 and a 32 year old, white
boy billionaire from Harvard meeting with
one of the world’s largest auto makers,
who do you think sold the most artificial
intelligence ?
By the way, where is Senator Booker
from New Jersey?
