According to CNN, Obama lost Kentucky’s Democratic Primary by a 35% point spread. He subsequently lost West Virginia’s primary by a 41% point spread. Obama, in my opinion has almost come off coy about this situation, and doing, I guess, what’s politically the best thing for him to do. He’s got the numbers of delegates, […]
Read more "An American Problem; not Obama’s"The Uppity Negro Network is celebrating the 83rd birthday of one of the greatest and gracious men that ever walked this planet–Malcolm X. Below are some clips I found on YouTube and I’d encourage everyone to look at them at their leisure. Malcolm X on Black Nationalism The House Negro and the Field Negro At […]
Read more "Celebrating the 83rd Birthday of Malcolm X"All I can say is that’s it’s about time. I just think it’s interesting that his father is white, so when I told my friend he’s mixed, he responded by saying “Oh this must be a year for the mixed race” by making an allusion to Obama. I think it is interesting that this was […]
Read more "A New ‘Colored’ Leader–finally."Well, this is a first. This is actually a post to address the concerns of one of the comments posted from my other post When White is right, even for Morehouse College. This comment brought up the issue as to whether or not a black student could be valedictorian at a traditionally white institution (TWI) […]
Read more "Institutional Racism: The Invisible Threat"So, am I the only one who WASN’T that offended by the Curious George cariacature of Barack Obama? Granted, in this day and age, it amounts to a VERY tasteless joke, but I failed to see the racism in all of it. If that’s the case then we need to round up all the political cartoonists […]
Read more "Curious George endorses Obama"An alternate title for this article would be: Heart Attacks in Older White Men Spike during West Virginia Democratic Primaries Could you imagine an old white man, geezer if you will, wearing a red and black plaid checkered shirt, and army green pants held up by suspenders, shuffling with an old wooden cane as a […]
Read more "A Dying Breed: Older White Conservative Men"Actually, this is a response to The Black Snob’s post on “The Color Game” that spoke about the duality of blackness in regards to skin color. Day after day we see more and more instances of racism and racialized prejudices, for every one Barack Obama or for every one Oprah Winfrey. And I remember […]
Read more "A Response to ‘The Color Game’: Is Black beautiful or pretty?"Let me start out by saying this is post is NOT about Joshua Packwood–in fact let me be clear about the congratulations that are due him. I am a firm believer about those that earn awards and acclaim should deserve it. However, this post is to address the issues I couldn’t help but notice that […]
Read more "When White is Right, even for Morehouse College"No, I’m not COGIC for all those who recognise that as part of the COGIC theme song, but I realized that I just was a part of something that Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reily, Lou Dobbs, Anderson Cooper, Campbell Brown and many others of the white church will understand. A graduation from an historically black college or […]
Read more "You Can’t Join It, You Got to be born in it!"Well, perhaps I’m in the minority on this one. I think I need to look at myself on this one. The Black Snob kind of informed me that Wright was over the top; my friend on Facebook somewhat informed me that Wright was doing some damage to Obama’s campaign; I had a friend tell me […]
