The “Party of No”

August 8, 2011 by

0

The Koch Brothers, Tea Party, and far-out conservative Republicans, not on the political spectrum of left-right American politics, are bent on destroying  American’s way of life.  Their whole strategy is to punish those, primarily young white Independents, who voted for President Obama.  Nothing is off the table with this group.  They’ve done what the Taliban and other radicals […]

Is the National Debt an Issue for Black Americans?

July 17, 2011 by

0

The American people aren’t interested in reducing the national debt, really. They’re welcoming the burdening of their children for a thousand years and aren’t interested in reducing the national debt by about 30%. The American people can’t continue to overlook one of the greatest opportunities in their history: to cut the debt burden on our future.  To free the American […]

Like free-flowing water rushing from a high place; recognition hasn’t any obstructions and flows to all that deserves it. Friends and family with cheers, smiles, and love would lift their awardees high upon their shoulders as the rush forges ahead. No doubt, success flows through the blood stream; this shall happen again and again. Recognition […]

For thousands of years Arabs walked deserts not knowing what lays underneath their feet would make the world kneel before them to have.   They lived as poor beggars having only tourist attractions as their only international industry; thereby, put aside in world commerce as backward with no real future, disrespected by the west as ignorant […]

Booker T. Washington High School, Grizzlies Basketball, and The Great Flood of Memphis are this year’s historical points that placed Memphis into stardom; along with B.B. King, W.C. Handy, Elvis Presley, and Memphis in May; home of the blues, world-renowned Civil Rights Museum, and four Fortune 500 International Headquarters including Service Master.  With this level […]

May 14, 2011 by

For months politicians in Memphis and Nashville have bombarded the Memphis City School system with negative attacks. They have passed laws with race as their number reason for doing so; along with their ideas that African-American city school students would pull down the grade value of Shelby County schools and increase violence to boot; that Memphis […]

Philosopher, Dr. Cornell West, Rejected in Groundless Attacks on President Obama’s Record

April 12, 2011 by

I disagree with about 90% of Dr. West’s Al-Jazeera comments.  I suppose that he is highly upset at the President for reasons that might be unspoken and could be personal.  Back in 1994, Charles Boone, Wali Shaheed, Deke Pope and I traveled to Baltimore, Maryland together.  On the way there, we undertook a very interesting subject of discussion.  […]
