  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

  • Punching Above Our Weight
    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

  • Living in a Black No-Man's Land
    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that. Finally I...

Jim Neusom on WJOL radio - Marilyn's Cafe Society

Greetings Family,
(Contact Information At The Bottom Of The Page)

It's your friendly neighborhood "Digital Drummer" again...smile

Let me take the time to invite all my friends and supporters to join me on Marilyn's Cafe Society this afternoon at 1:20 p.m. (CDT)/11:20 (PST) on WJOL 1340 AM radio.

Marilyn's Cafe Society (www.marilynscafesociety.com) radio show is in its fourth year of broadcasting in the Chicago area and is in its first year streaming live via the internet at www.wjol.com. It's a weekly 2 hour radio talk show that airs Saturdays from 12:05 p.m. (noon) to 2 p.m. (CDT). 

The topic this afternoon will be on How To Read eMail Headers. How many times have you received an email from yourself...that you didn't send! We will be discussing how to protect yourself from Spoofing and Phishing scams.

The email header is the information that travels with every email, containing details about the sender, route and receiver. It is like a flight ticket: it can tell you who booked it (who sent the email), the departure information (when the email was sent), the route (from where it was sent and how did it arrive to you) and arrival details (who is the receiver and when it was received).

Marilyn May has nearly 20 years of experience in the field of communications and is a dynamic and entertaining radio host. After speaking with Marilyn last night, let me assure you that this is going to be a fun filled and enlightening interview.

Marilyn has been hosting Marilyn's Cafe Society since the spring of 2005 and is very grounded in the issues and concerns of the South side Chicago community. I first met Marilyn in a Yahoogroup I moderate, Black Filmmakers and Crew (http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/blackfilmmakersandcrew/). She is good people and very down to earth.

Join us this afternoon and make sure you call in or email, to show your support for Black radio. Remember, We Must Share The Knowledge (Network)... To Share The Dollars!!!
