Wednesday, July 26, 2023 – DAMN IT I’M MAD!

My apologies for not posting anything recently, but DAMN IT, I’m mad!

I am mad at the state of Florida for suggesting the institution of slavery was a work force incentive and the slaves could benefit from it. So said slaves were able to develop agricultural skills, child care skills, kitchen and housekeeping skills – just to name a few. There were also skills developed in running, torture survival, and procreation of biracial children. DAMN IT, I’m mad.

I am mad at the Governor of Texas for putting a giant, floating razor-wired, barrier in the Rio Grande River. Way to deal diplomatically, Governor Wheeler. Maybe if Mexico wins the war you are promoting, Texas will go back to Mexico. DAMN IT, I’m mad.

I am mad at Texas A&M University. First the administration bungles the hiring of a highly qualified journalism professor. A contract was signed giving five years, with tenure and other perks. But then – The Old Army of Peni stepped in and said, “No, to the Black female.”  DAMN IT, I’m mad. And then rewrote the contract and put her name and signature from the first contract as signed! Even more mad!

So the President of Texas A&M steps down in protest. No big loss to that, but down goes female # 2. DAMN IT, I’m mad.

And then another well credentialed professor whose expertise lies in the opioid crisis of the United States, alleged says “something” about the Lieutenant Governor, Dan Patrick in a class lecture. While it is uncertain what was said and no other classmates can remember, nevertheless some little débutante took offense and called Mommy, who called Daddy, who called Danny Boy, who called Chancellor John Sharp of Texas A&M. Yes Boy Sharp sent this email to Patrick’s office: “Joy Alonzo has been placed on administrative leave pending investigation re firing her. shud [sic] be finished by end of week.”  –  signed “jsharp.”  DAMN IT, I’m mad!

So once again, The Old Army of Peni interfered with academia. It is just my imagination that this entire embarrassing, debacle has three highly qualified females at the center. DAMN IT, I’m Mad!

Here is a link to a good summary by Juanita Jean.
