Back in the mid-2000's when I first starting blogging at my original blogspot, I discovered over time a community of folks who had their own blogs and occasionally chimed in with feedback and sometimes tough love on my blog depending on the topic. When I started blogging again a few years back, I often wondered what happened to my fellow bloggers and hoping they all are living their best lives.
I recently rediscovered none other than Clay Cane on Youtube. I knew from his blogspot (which actually I need to get invited again...LOL) that he was a prolific writer and political activist that was already making moves. It's so cool to see him doing his thing on Youtube and he's speaking the truth on a lot of topics. I don't have SiriusXM so I'm not able to listen to him live or call in so it's good he adds them on Youtube as well. And he's also an author as well and has an upcoming novel titled "Burn Down Master's House" that's coming out in late January 2026. I will definitely have to check that out. I also looked him up on LinkedIn and can see that he has a profile there. I sent him a connection request so I'll see if he responds. In the meantime here are a few of his videos.
First one I'm sharing is his most recent (as of this blog entry date) where he and his co-host Reecie Colbert talk about ICE's attack on a black Southside neighborhood apartment. From reports that I've seen, they took everyone out of that apartment and kept them in custody for several hours. It's crazy how they are using immigration to violate human rights. They didn't care if a person was a U.S. Citizen or not when they removed everyone. Not only that but the way they did it, rappelling from helicopters and breaking windows and doors to get into apartments. There were children living in the apartments and I can't imagine the trauma they'll have to deal with thinking that they don't have a safe space. Of course Orange's administration doesn't care about that one bit.
The next video I'm sharing is one where Clay Cane with co-host Ted Winn talked with legendary R&B singer Teena Marie's daughter Alia Rose who is an artist as well. We got to hear stories about Teena Marie from Alia's perspective. She also mentioned an upcoming biopic that's she involved in that tells her Mom's story.
Finally here's Clay's video about former The Biggest Loser loser trainer Jillian Michaels and the gall about her recent comments relating to slavery and how it wasn't so bad for black folks and that less than 2% of whites owned slaves. I watched Netflix's documentary on The Biggest Loser and was reminded of what a piece of work she and Bobby Harper were to the folks that participated on the show. Like everything else on TV, it was all about the money. The show went on for 18 Seasons and spawned other versions of the show internationally.
So Hemingway it was nice seeing that Clay is doing well and I wish him continued success.
