December 9, 2014

Out going USAG avoids the real issue (#KillerCops) for a discussion on police and blacks relationship, helping black boys cope with a lack of education, jobs, and a decent quality of life, while touting the POTUS’s My Brother’s Keeper organization. I’m simply exhausted from the years of listening and hoping that one of these so-called […]

As the Blood Flows

December 8, 2014

0

If blood flows in the streets of America the flow was started by the #KillerCops, the racist #GOP, #TeaParty, #KKK, and #RightWingConservatives. They’re striking up the fear that’s forcing poor, white, and ignorant Americans to buy guns by the millions, while their gun making friends stroll to bank.

                Sure, we’re living in a free country, but our politics are as different as the sun and the moon.  Over the last few years, our political views have reached the extremities unlike any other period in our  nation’s history.  Among black Americans, we’ve lived through an ecliptic […]

Sure, I’m passing on the Dr. Flinn’s piece, How the Government is Keeping Poor People Poor | George Flinn Cares, but he’s leaving out several very important elements about the poor; especially the black poor; as most Republicans would do; he’s failing to mention that in addition to the dirty tax codes; poor blacks must […]
