Well, I’ve been quite mum as far as the political process is concerned. I officially took the UNN off of Obamawatch! 2008 the day he decided to throw his pastor under a bus/do a driveby/plunge him into the water depths (your pick). Ever since then my blog more or less discussed politics in general–this […]
Read more "Obamamania Spreads to Europe"[Editor’s note: This post has images and language that some readers may find offensive. Reader discretion is advised.] “A very close look at some of the biggest issues affecting the black community today….” “Not a story about black people in this country, a story abut Americans in this country…they are black Americans…a story that […]
Read more "Cable News Network, CNN, announces name change to Caring Negro Network"I got this from an email forward, which was a result of the Put On Blast emails. This was somewhat of a response to my host mother and her point of view that says “hip hop came from the prison culture.” The following is from JLove Calderon entitled “White Like Me: 10 Codes of Ethics […]
Read more "Rules for whites with regards to Hip Hop"Maybe it’s just the particular churches I’ve visted, but by in large, for some reason, the young organ players, usually don’t do a lot of soloing. Not saying they can’t, I fully believe these kats are gifted to do so, but for whatever reason church service doesn’t allow them to do so. Ran across the […]
Read more "For Those Who Remember…the Organ Solos at the Old Church"YAY!!! I finally have a guest blog. Although, she is not one of the first people I asked to do a guest blog, she is the first one who actually did it. Hopefully The White Girl will spur my others to do their guest blog. But, The White Girl is a colleague of mine at […]
Read more "UNN Guest Post from The White Girl"On May 29th, I believe I wrote one of my first blogs while in cultural exile immersion out here in Murrah-land. I entitled it The Dominant Subordinate Culture and I, in many words, explained that blacks in this country are really the dominant culture. Whatever is on top encompasses what is beneath it as far […]
Read more "Philly Debrief III: Culturally Aware Vs. Culturally Sensitivity"Well, isn’t this interesting. Got wind of this story through emails from friends. One of the responses from the people in the email circle is “Don’t let your flesh justify what your spirit already knows is wrong.” Well….I guess, I’ll leave that one alone. Just read the USA Today story. A gay man is suing two heavyweight […]
Read more "Gay man sues publishers over Bible verses"I’m not a big follower of Hip-Hop. Never have been. Same with sports, it’s something that I’m definitely a spectator to; I vicariously pick up information about these particular facets of life. Even though I read Vibe magazine every month, and flip to ESPN once in a blue moon. I’ll watch playoff games, or I’ll […]
Read more "‘The Game’ Goes to Another Level"I actually don’t have a lot to say other than point out the fact that this speech in Cincinatti at some NAACP convention it was one Obama’s more average and mediocre, generic speeches. I think the first half about governmental policies and the socio-economic structures that need changing was wonderful, and I personally think his […]
Read more "A Midnight (well, 11:04pm) Post on Obama’s NAACP Speech"Is this racist or not? I have cousins that live in rural areas and I remember for the longest that they didn’t have city water, but had dug their own wells. Here’s the July 11th story CNN story below: Residents of a mostly black neighborhood in rural Ohio were awarded nearly $11 million Thursday by a federal […]
