As I tucked my kids in for bed last night I was not the only one telling fairytales and painting dreams of a most vivid and vibrant future and a “happily ever after.” I was joined by President Obama in fantasy and fiction telling. As we lay our “kids” to bed in the hopes they are nourished in the dreams and alternate realities we lay out for them, what did we really say? NOT MUCH!! Although I was preaching from the gospel of Disney. Mr. Obama’s fairytale should have come from the Brothers Grimm!

Who is the next Jim Brown, Kareem Abdul, Bill Russell, John Carlos, Tommy Smith, or Muhammad of our time? Is it time to stop helping the Kobe’s, Lebron’s, Williams Sisters, and Tiger’s launch their brands and refocus them back to the real cause of empowerment, civil rights, and moving the entire Black race forward?

When a little child is abused or harmed like little Caylee Anthony, instantly a law or memorial is created post haste, but in segregated Milwaukee, we have to beg for this too. We even have a memorial for the firefighters of 9/11 in Milwaukee, but we can’t we memorialize this, an event that happened right in our own backyard? Milwaukee needs to atone for its sins and we need to support these families every year.

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.

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.
Death to Sag?

With the honoring of the Civil War (beginning 150 years ago this week), one might compare what the military has become now as opposed to back then. In this comparison, we honor those who served our nation and our people, but do we still feel the need to serve as our ancestors once did?
There is great pride to be found in our history with the military. However in this current military where do we fit in and should we?
