The purpose of this blog is for people to be able to recognize and understand cultural and social developments in the United States, based upon the lifelong journey of an African American activist, educator, artist, and retired pro boxer. Sometimes there will be "guest" postings from prominent artists, analysts, scholars, journalists, and other such thinkers. I certainly welcome contributions that will enhance dialogue in a number of areas. In that context, this blog is interactive.

Okay, on the link below, my longtime friend, award-winning journalist Jen Armstrong of the Philadelphia Daily News, is the older version of Dr. Namandje Bumpus, when it comes to rightfully denouncing men objectifying women.. Still, I look forward to the day when that same protest, regarding the objectification of women, is directed towards men who either put on a wig and dress or have some scumbag surgeon make them a vagina, and then those same aforementioned men call themselves "women". .Ya dig?. Cheers! G. Djata Bumpus http://www.philly.com/philly/columnists/jenice_armstrong/20130407_Pretty_dumb_comment__Mr__Prez.html
