B.L. Wilson Author B.L. Wilsonabout her book: I was raised in a family of women but I went on to have just one child a son. I wanted to write a story about a family of all women. I wanted talk about what it might be like for a mother to have only girls and how each daughter might reflect a part of her mother good or bad. I wondered what that might feel like to see your reflection in each one of your daughters. That’s when I decided to give one of my main characters five daughters; each woman has her own unique personality. Everybody thinks Mama has always been straight because she married a nice man and made four babies with him. She knows that’s not quite true. I added some spice and sass to the story by reuniting the mother of five with the other main character, a much hated ex-roommate and one time lover for a 10-week undergraduate field course. Say hello to Isabella Harris and her five daughters whose names all begin with the letter M. There’s Marilyn, eldest daughter who doesn’t look like her four siblings; Merle is stogy, follow the rules 2nd child. […]

COMING OUT: LESBIAN AT 47

by B.L. in Most popular, Must read, Other, What the experts say, Worth a look 0 comments
I read this article from a worried parent years ago. I found the question interesting enough to write about. A woman, the mother says, “My 16-year-old son told me that he is gay. What should I do about it?” Today, I’d add my own experiences of informing my family that I was a lesbian. I wasn’t as young as that mother’s son was when he said, “Guess what Mom? I’m gay. Nope, that wasn’t me. I was 47-years old before I finally admitted to me that I was gay and then I admitted it to my family. You’re probably thinking isn’t 47 a little old to discover your orientation? Shouldn’t a person know before they reach 30 who or what they like? At 47, a person has lived over half her life in the shadows and maybe with the wrong gender as well. I understand your skepticism but permit me to explain my particular situation. I’m a Baby Boomer. When I grew up, young women were just beginning to flex their muscles. They were thinking about working in non-traditional jobs and considered living non-traditional lives. Most of the women I knew when I was a kid, wore traditional clothes to […]

I AM CHARLIE?

January 8, 2015 Too bad these young men couldn’t be taken alive and interviewed I want to know why they were killed and did they actually do what the media and police says they did. Nobody seems to want to examine the racism and the prejudice against Muslims. I keep hearing the BS on from white media who are acting like they don’t understand this. These guys probably aren’t terrorists any more than MLK or Malcolm were. They are young men of color who don’t feel a part of society…duh…sounds familiar, doesn’t it? The USA manages to send its racism around the world without even trying hard, doesn’t it? Did I mention what happened in Paris and what’s happening here BLACK LIVES MATTER and the willingness the police unions to stage a Blue Flu action, could be teachable moments about white privilege and Black lives don’t matter attitudes? I’m not creative enough to design something but I sure can see the links. Can you?

The 10 Worst Civil Liberties Violations of 2014

by B.L. in Most popular, Must read, Other 0 comments
Portside Date: December 30, 2014 Author: Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern Date of Source: Monday, December 29, 2014 Slate The world may not actually be falling apart [1]—but it feels like America is. From police brutality and botched executions to voter suppression and election corruption, 2014 was a terrible year for civil liberties in the United States. Protests were quelled by military-grade weapons in scenes worthy of a banana republic, and the divide between the rich and the poor in the freedom and justice they are afforded is Dickensian in its scope. While the country has evolved on marriage equality, it often appears to be backtracking on just about every other advance we have made, from the racial and gender progress of the 1960s to the most basic principles of the criminal justice system. Below, we’ve listed the top 10 civil liberties nightmares of 2014 in no particular order. Here’s hoping this list is harder to put together next year. Read the entire article here.

Grassroots Message Against Police Violence—and All Violence—Stands Firm

Portside Date: December 29, 2014 Author: Heidi Boghosian Date of Source: Friday, December 26, 2014 Common Dreams Just minutes after unfurling a 50-foot banner on the side of the A.J. Muste Building in Manhattan (also dubbed the “Peace Pentagon” for the nonviolent social change organizations it houses) a friend called to tell me that two police officers had been shot, execution style, in Brooklyn. I was composing a Tweet about the banner but deleted it mid-phrase. The banner reads: “NYC to Ferguson: End Police Violence,” and it was sponsored by the Campaign to Bring Mumia Home.
