….hopefully Lady Michelle Obama and her husband will have made history by being the first black woman to legally and morally sleep in the same bed as the President of the United States of America. That being said, I think Black America’s honeymoon will be over. Frankly, this blog is a response to the number […]
Read more "This Time Next Week…"Since I’m on this whole Chicago politicking bend, might as well tell the whole story. Most people who know about Chicago politics, or who have lived here for some period (or seen the “How Weather Changed History” episode where they covered it) know about how Chicago elected their first female as mayor by the name […]
Read more "Is it Prejudiced, Preferential Treatment or Racism: Snow Removal in Chicago (or lack thereof)"Yeah, I’ve noticed that I’ve not really been gifted with great titles and tag lines, oh well. This is for those that thought that I was actually going to let President-elect Barack Obama’s announcement of Saddleback Church pastor Rick Warren go unnoticed, then this post is for you. Flat out, it was a bad decision […]
Read more "Being in the Middle Sucks"That’s the title of the following article, not mine. I received an email and I read the forwarded article by a professor at Macon State College of Georgia by the name of Dr. Andrew Manis. Now I’ve never heard of the guy, I’e been unable to verify this article, but even if this was not […]
Read more "When Are White People Going to Get Over It?"Sometime last week, while I was mid crisi mode about exams and what not, Chicago born rapper Common dropped a quote to linking President-elect Barack Obama to the hip hop community. Obama “is going to change hip-hop for the better,” predicted the rapper, whose eighth album, “Universal Mind Control” (G.O.O.D. Music/Geffen), hits shelves Tuesday. “I […]
Read more "The New Face of Hip Hop"I’m quite sure as the product of what will bethree historically black colleges and univerisities (HBCUs) that you all know where I stand on this matter. But the state of Georgia is in a bind like most other states as far as budgets are concerned. Many of these states, counties and cities are about one […]
Read more "Merger of HBCUs; When Separate is Equal"Seriously, I’m in love with this woman. (But she’s not taking Uppity Negress’ spot) I remember back in the early part of the primaries when Barack’s blackness was questioned, Lady Michelle Obama was the trump card. Beyond the shadow of a doubt, Michelle is black. She’s so black she’s bringing her mother to live in the White House […]
Read more "ALL HAIL THE QUEEN! UNN on Lady Michelle Obama"For my faithful readers, you all know that I’ve been on my anti-religion kick lately. Or rather, my “let’s reshape religion as we know it” kick. I went out with Soul Jonz for lunch today, me and him talked about some of the challenges of the Black Blogosphere. One of the main challenges he quipped […]
Read more "A Challenge to the Black Blogosphere; When the Right Becomes Wrong"I mean wow. Here’s a story that covered this mess. It could have been Ovama or Ofama. Or even Olama. But with one “s” the Rensselaer County Board of Elections turned a single wrong letter into a national embarrassment Friday. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s last name is spelled “Osama” on some 300 absentee ballots […]
Read more "I Have No Words…Barack ‘Osama’ Found on Absentee Ballot"Does anyone remember that story you read in grammar school called “The Wave” when it came to that point in World History (right after they just skipped over ALLLLL of African history) when they’d talk about Nazi’s and WWII and the Holocaust. Yeah, I just came out an African American Church History class as I […]
