Tedx Greensboro Begins As A Disappointment

Even Ed Cone is disappointed with the lineup at Tedx Greensboro. Of course, anyone who bothered to look at who was behind it knew all along what it would turn out to be. Months ago I researched who was behind the event from it's very beginning and yawned while everyone else was expressing hope. Thanks for deleting my comment Eddie, I reach far more readers when I post to my own blog instead of wasting time commenting on yours.

And who is Richard Moore? President of the Weaver Foundation, another of Greensboro's status quo organizations. Greensboro leadership as usual, the same folks in charge and as always the same sad outcomes. "Same as it ever was, same as it ever was..."

Of course, the real tragedy will be for Josephus III who I know and whose work I admire but whose work will never be understood by Greensboro's "movers and shakers" who could care less about Josephus and his humble beginnings much like my own. You see, if they can't pave it or lay bricks on it they have no real interest in it. Knock 'em out Josephus! Knock 'em right back on their rich white asses!

And remember, this came from an old white dude folks once called Billy, the Blogging Poet who now spends most of his time fighting for Greensboro's working class.
