Where is the Black Community?

I grew up in an all-black suburban community defined by segregation. Our community was essentially an Island in an otherwise all white sea defined by housing restrictions and covenants. Living in the suburbs in those days meant having ties to other black communities which existed in sometimes disparate areas defined by post Civil War realities. [...]

Roberta Flack – New Album

Roberta Flack’s Creative New Album 1970s hit maker Roberta Flack is back with a new album after spending more than a decade off the radar.

Alan West Buckdances …Again

Alan West is a traitor and disgrace to the US Army. They essentially threw his ass out for his criminal behavior. So wrapping himself in the flag and uniform is like Benedict Arnold wearing the uniform of the Continental Army. This Lawn Jockey is a real piece of work.  

Ron Paul’s Racist Newsletter – New Evidence Points to Paul’s Direct Involvement

Ron Paul’s newsletter in the 90′s had a number of very racist things to say. Until now, Paul has claimed that he was not involved in the publication of the Newsletter.

Elle Magazine…The Obamas are “black-geosie”?

I’m not sure this one falls into the “incredibly racist” category… I think it just falls into “incredibly ignorant”.

And at a time when at any moment [...]

Fidel Castro Says What Many Think

The old Cuban Dictator still has an eye for the absurd, and certainly still possesses the faculties to analyze world events. Of course figuring out the Republican Party has become a bunch of circus clowns leading a group of morons – really doesn’t take a lot of critical analysis skills. Fidel Castro Calls Republican Race ‘Competition Of Idiocy And [...]

Soyalent Green…is Republicans!

For those who don’t catch the reference - Soyalent Green is People. Seems that some of our Tea Party American brethren live in an alternate universe. Which would be fine except they insist on applying the rules and regulations of that mythical world to the rest of us. The lunatics have truly gained control of the asylum… Ralph Shortley, Oklahoma State [...]

FAMU Marching 100 – Something Rotten in Florida

WTF is the deal with this violent hazing crap? These kids are going way overboard and seriously injuring their fellow band mates, sorority sisters and brothers and initiates. This isn’t fun – it isn’t a “rite of passage” and it damn sure doesn’t reflect on any o the values of the organizations involved. 4 Florida A&M band [...]

If There Were a 1% Debate… MLK vs. Romney

What would MLK do? What would MLK say? There is very little evidence that MLK would have anything good to say about today’s Republican Party. Indeed – for many folks today’s Republican have gone about as low as you can go. Here is a mash up of points by MLK and “Willard” Romney…

And He Sings, Too!

President Obama at the Apollo Theater! Nice Cover of Al Green!
