Pretty self-explanatory; these are the issues that deal with modern and popular culture that have nothing to really do with religion or the church
At first I don’t know why this thought popped into my head, but as I sat down, with my church clothes on waiting for my calzone last night, I realized why. Granted I’ve put on about 25lbs from when I first bought the gray slacks from Express in fall of 2005 after Hurricane Katrina, but […]
Read more "I Can’t Fit Gap Underwear!!!"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 […]
Read more "My Vote’s for Obama (if I could vote)"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.

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 […]

Read more "Things I Neglected to Comment On…"Even in the face of remarks deemed controversial by the mainstream media (MSM) concerning Obama’s pastor, I feel that there is a need to speak on the issue of black preaching. I did some opposition research and watched the O’Reilly Factor on FOXNews and those who frequent his show are familiar with his segment called […]
Read more "My Theology of Preaching, Pt. III: Coded Language"In this day and age where black megachurches are having “hip-hop” services and churches are reaching out to the “hip-hop” generation and I hear talk about trying to reach the “hip-hop” generation, I get really confused. I get confused because this particular uppity Negro isn’t a big music listener (go figure as I’m a musician) […]
Read more "So…what generation am I?"I’m not sure if it’s because I was fired up after watching the Popes of Blackness (Al Sharpton, Michael Eric Dyson, Cornel West and Jesse Jackson) along with others of the General Board of Blackness (Donna Brazile, Robert Michael Franklin, Dick Gregory, Na’im Akbar et. al.) at the 2008 State of the Black Union hosted […]
