John Brown was born 226 years ago today. An ardent and uncompromising abolitionist, he spent the last years of his life engaged in armed struggle against slavery, first in the Bleeding Kansas struggle, then in the raid on Harper's Ferry, for which he was executed.

As a sports girlie, a sports girlie reared in southern sports, I agree with Ryan Clark 100%. The plantation-style system needs a massive shock. It needs to change.

True story, as an undergrad at UCLA, the Black players called the football field the plantation and the dorm they lived in the projects & that was sunny, lefty LA.

The entire system is broken.

Just my lil opinion.

"Remember that prophecy that some old god would end the world last year?" the guy at the tavern bar laughs. "What happened with that?"

I feel Finna flinch beside me.

"There's no point telling them," I say.

"Well, I didn't kill that old god for their sake."

"Saving the world includes the jerks."
