Yes, this post is as a result of my internship. I always subscribed to W.E.B. DuBois’ idea of “double consciousness” as he laid out in Souls of Black Folk and for the most part, I still do. Just for a bit of context, check this clip out. The history of the American Negro is the […]
Read more "The Dominant Subordinate Culture"Meh, it’s finals and I don’t feel like writing as much as I used to. My right hand/wrist seems to be threatening Carpal’s tunnel syndrome and I DON’T need that with 15 page papers due. So I find other’s articles and post them. Check out this Clarence Page article about the debates that I never […]
Read more "Presidential debates on TV in peril"I realized in the wake of the Jeremiah Wright-Barack Obama bruhaha that there are simply somethings black people in America can’t say. One of my professors put it this way: Many of us who identify as Black or African American (I REALLY need to do a blog about that foolishness) are the descendants of slaves, and […]

Read more "You Got the Wrong One!"Before I begin this one, please excuse the inconsistency of my last view blog fonts and formats, I’m experimenting with what font I like and the formatting is especially tricky, so sometimes I get frustrated with what the finished product is and I get tired of tweaking it. That being said, let’s move on. I […]

Read more "New Blog Skin"This is the United Church of Christ’s stance on the fallout following Sen. Barack Obama’s announcing his candidacy for President. I thoroughly encourage every one to read this and pass it on to whomever to stop the inane and utterly vile rhetoric that has been spewed from the mouths of ignorant and backwater people with […]
