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"We used to lounge around a lot during the internship, particularly if it was a slow day, and given that we had three couches in the room that was our office, it was common practice to stretch out on the couch and put our heads on the pillows–although God knows who had farted or put […]
Read more "Are Blacks High Maintenance?"Okay, now everyone is aware of the “wink” seen ’round the world. If not then I’m suggesting you may be living under a rock if you haven’t heard about the picture above. But, if that wasn’t enough, there’s another picture that surfaced from the Spanish women’s basketball team and the Spanish tennis team. And […]
Read more "Should Blacks Take a Lesson From the Chinese?"I was flipping channels after typing up another blog, which has yet to be revealed and is kept in a secret location, I flipped past the Golf Channel–and I saw a black person. This black person in fact. Actually, what caught my eye was that in the interview he had on a bowtie and suspenders, […]
Read more "An Uppity Negro Award"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"This is a feature I’ve kept up everytime something in the news surfaces that just has NO apparent explanation and just totally stops me in my tracks. One was Pat Buchanan’s explanation that blacks should be thankful for slavery because it brought us to the wonderfulness that is the effing country. **rolls eyes** But this […]
Read more "I Have No Words…Girl with Tourettes Syndrome Displays Blatant Prejudice"Those of you that have been keeping up with my blog this summer you know that I’m in an internship where I’m the ONLY black person; moreover, that I’ve only had conversations with less than five black people this entire summer. So, when I got back from Phliadelphia I was starting to feel the effects […]
Read more "In Honor of the ‘Quilt Sewers’"I’m going to be at work tomorrow and I just got word late tonight that CNN is supposed to have a mixed panel of college students to speak on their response to Black in America. They showed a panel of three blacks, two young black women who were seniors at Spelman and I guess presumably […]
Read more "Can Someone Watch CNN’s College Panel on ‘Black in America’ for me"This CNN special blew up bigger than they expected. I’m quite sure. I don’t know what to really say, I’ve heard both sides of the argument as far as how effective the special was. But, guess what, I haven’t seen it in its entirety. I fully saw the Essence/CNN panel last week, and I thought […]
