Black America and Obama: The Cost of Silence

FAM

The African-American community has long functioned as an integral force behind the Democratic Party and even more so as a stalwart supporter of the institution’s latest lead official, President Obama. It is a population however, that has historically experienced enormous suffering, not withstanding its current condition which further serves to extend this troubled legacy.

The Black masses must find the political will to place demands upon their cherished leader for it is through this enactment pieces of the dream may be realized.

Ah-Ha….The Old “Keep ‘em Focused on Nonsense Trick”.

  Black people, African Americans, Nubians, Bilalians, Niggers, whatever you call yourself or choose to answer to, please stay focused.  When did gay marriage, immigration reform, Basketball Wives or Casey Anthony become critical issues in the pursuit of Black Power?   Do not be deceived….watch for the hand behind the scene.  Tavis and Sharpton fueding or whether The President … Read more

Tom Joyner VS. Tavis Smiley and Cornel West Round II

Public Debates of This President Flame Fire… “Where has the president expended any political capital on behalf of issues of particular interest to the Black community? So, the gays get all sorts of gay rights, Hispanics get a Supreme Court Justice, amnesty, and the D.R.E.A.M. Act; and Blacks folks get “I’m president of all of America.”

Say What?…Black families protest the NAACP?

Here is another example of the news you don’t get because it exposes hypocrisy within the ranks of liberal groups.

Gil-Scott Heron Gone But Never Forgotten.

Gil-Scott Heron died last week.  The news said, “He had a history of drug use.” One could not argue with that.   However, Gil-Scott Heron’s life was more than just his bout with substance abuse…. I remember hearing him say, “Like the forest they buried beneath the highway…..never had a chance to grow.”   This shook my mind, … Read more

Dispelling the Voter ID Disenfranchisement Myth!

Fraud WI

Requiring Photo ID’s is a simple way to help ensure less fraud in elections. As we witnessed in 2004 and 2008 with the presidential elections, and even now with JoAnne Kloppenburg, voter fraud is indeed a very serious problem. Photo ID is at least one positive attempt to make sure the state of Wisconsin is actively working towards error-free elections and curtaling fraud at the polls.

Looking Like A Fool With Ya Pants On The Ground…SAGGING!

sagging-pants no

Should we enact laws to curtail this fashion mistake? Should we continue to wait for parents to do their job? What about adults who wear sagging pants and the people who love them? After all this would not be a popular fashion if those of us in relationships with “saggers” stopped seeing this as a turn on and if we as a community started actively protesting this.
