Well, to put minds at ease, I found housing here on campus in Atlanta, but I don’t have an internet signal in my room–and for a blogger that’s a death knell. So, I’ve been camped out in an empty classroom since 10Am this morning doing my epic blogs that I promised to have by today. […]
Read more "Another Uppity Update"Maybe the cosmic forces don’t like the end August. Or maybe it’s just August in general as far as I’m concerned personally that major events happen. This is also the beginning of the school year for many students, a time a shifting and transitioning. It is nearing the time that many farmers are doing final […]
Read more "August 29th"“They said this day would never come. They said our sights were set to high. They said this country was too divided….but at this defining moment in history, you have done what the cynics said we couldn’t do…” Personally, Democratic Nominee Senator Barack Obama’s victory speech on January 3rd following the Iowa caucuses was my favorite. It […]
Read more "August 28th"I will openly admit that current VP Dick Cheney took the office of vice-presidency to the next level. Between him and Karl Rove, I believe we saw the power of the vice-presidency go to the next level. Of course initially this office was remarked by John Nance Garner, VP under FDR 1933-41 that the vice […]
Read more "The Office of the Glorified Secretary…I mean Office Assistant"Every major city has it’s resident black media hound, Atlanta has Rev. Markel Hutchins of Kathryn Johnson fame. This person is often out of the black religious tradition, not always, but often they are.

Read more "When Boycotting Goes Wrong"Actually, it was totally laughable earlier the last seven days. On August 8th, Detroit’s mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick officially shamed much of Black America when he got arrested. The Black blogosphere went crazy and we all started quoting random facts about blacks living in cities, mentioning the Chocolate Cities of Washington, D.C., Cleveland, Gary, Ind., Chicago […]
Read more "Are We Being Fair to Kwame Kilpatrick?"I really didn’t plan for this to my first post after coming back from my internship in DC, but then I again, I didn’t plan on waking up to see an AP News headline that Hillary Clinton‘s name would be on the ballot. I mean, aint that bout a–well, she’s sho nuff acting like one. […]
Read more "I Have No Words…Hillary Clinton’s Name to Appear on DNC Nominating Ballot"In fact, on the contrary, we’re only ready for a president, who happens to be black. Well, let me first put a few things out here just so you know where I’m coming from. I personally believe that there NEEDS to be a Congressional resolution that formerly apologizes for slavery and Jim Crow laws to […]
Read more "The United States is Not Ready for a Black President"[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 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.
