Should Jeremiah Wright be quiet?

Let me respond to that question early on in this post with a resounding HELL NAH! Honestly, I thought he should have been quiet as far as the Bill Moyers interview was concerned, however I am quite pleased that he did.  I think that in fact that this Jeremiah Wright spat has in fact taken […]

Presidential debates on TV in peril

Meh, it’s finals and I don’t feel like writing as much as I used to.  My right hand/wrist seems to be threatening Carpal’s tunnel syndrome and I DON’T need that with 15 page papers due.  So I find other’s articles and post them.  Check out this Clarence Page article about the debates that I never […]

My Vote’s for Obama (if I could vote)

My Vote’s for Obama (if I could vote) …by Michael Moore   Friends, I don’t get to vote for President this primary season. I live in Michigan. The party leaders (both here and in D.C.) couldn’t get their act together, and thus our votes will not be counted. So, if you live in Pennsylvania, can […]

Obama gets the ‘dirt off his shoulders’

Obamawatch 2008! continues   Yes, for all of those uppity Negroes out there, Barack Obama did in fact ‘brush his shoulders off’ in an attempt to get rid of the ‘dirt’ called Hillary Clinton, George Stephanopoulos, and Charlie Gibson.  This clip doesn’t show it, but I couldn’t help but let out an audible laugh when […]

What Is ‘Speaking Truth to Power?’: Social Justice Gains Popularity

I grew up hearing the phrase “speak truth to power” and its derivatives namely from the pulpit and from my mother.  It was always used as a justification for preaching social justice sermons or putting forth a social justice message; usually in the face of a prosperity gospel preached (such as in the Word of […]

Don’t Make Your Tomb Your Tabernacle

Just wanted to share with you all what one my school’s about to be alumni Kippie Brown preached tonight for our school’s last Ecumenical Late-Night service.  Coming from Mark 5 and the Gerasene demoniac named Legion.  In a nutshell, he simply said that it’s hard sometimes to not make the tomb our tabernacle because it […]

I Have No Words….Detroit City Council by way of Kwame Kilpatrick

I mean wow!  I’m ashamed to be black after watching my sistah girl act like she did.  Literally ashamed. And then she committed the cardinal sin, she thoroughly emasculated a black man who finally got some powere who appears to be the elected chairman of the city council board, in front of God and everyone.  […]

I Have No Words…. Bob Johnson

This is one of those times where I simply have no words.  Bob Johnson has long time fallen from grace in the black community.  I’m quite sure that the majority of blacks who voted for Barack “Barry” Obama in the primaries have little if any respect for Bob Johnson. For those who have no idea […]

Books I’d like to buy, but have no money

I think the title speaks for itself.  I’m a budding homiletician and part time African American historian with a clear emphasis on the Black Church.  I need some books, just to be able to put my hand on them when I need to, and also, to get up on some summer reading in my particular […]

Obama joins the ranks of uppity Negroes?

I’ve been told that I’ve been quite verbose in my last few posts, so hopefully this will be a short one, but I can’t make any promises. As I sit here watching “Obama’s ‘Bitter’ Battle” on CNN News around 6pm Eastern time, I hear some white people saying that the Clinton’s are hedging around this […]
