Millennials Are The Torchbearer Generation

June 15, 2020Leave a comment

Millennials get a lot of crap. We're stuck in childhood, we lived with our parents too long, we're killing the napkin industry and business formal dress codes, etc etc. Of course, a lot of Boomers act like we haven't experienced three recessions; the collective trauma of 9/11 and repeated mass shootings; and the realization that … Continue reading Millennials Are The Torchbearer Generation

Movin On Up: Thoughts on Class Transition

January 24, 2019January 5, 2019Leave a comment

I'm a first generation lawyer. I'm a second generation college graduate on one side of my family, and the first lawyer on both sides. I say this because, by and large, the legal profession is still an elitist profession. Your earning power and therefore worth (to some people) is based on your pedigree. Were you … Continue reading Movin On Up: Thoughts on Class Transition

WATCH … Continue reading Sorry To Bother You Again: The Black Futurist Playlist

Capitalism is a scam.

August 11, 2018Leave a comment

I'm tired, y'all. I have to admit that Drumpf's America is wearing on me. After 8 years under our glorious King Obama, I had bought into the notion that we were heading into the twilight of the worst inequality and that better days were ahead. Now I see that the ugliness of racism and bigotry … Continue reading Capitalism is a scam.

Not All Nerds. . . Just You

May 9, 2018Leave a comment

Last weekend, actor/comedian Donald Glover, aka musical artist Childish Gambino, headlined Saturday Night Live. He also released a brand new single and music video, "This Is America". I don't know if he just cemented his relevance at the right time, or people felt just that strongly about seeing him dance shirtless for five minutes, but … Continue reading Not All Nerds. . . Just You
