White Americans Speak Candidly About Blacks, The Race Card

If two men were applying for the same job and they were the same age, equally educated, identical experience, and both pleasant people, how would one chose? What if one was Black and the other one was White, and they gave the job to the White man; would that raise an eyebrow? Would you first […]

Businesses Avoiding Pollution and Environmental Tragedies

When considering pollution and its effects, it’s likely that air and water pollution are at the forefront. Indeed air and water pollution have been the cause of many human deaths and illnesses over the years, let alone the effects to animals and water borne creatures. However, not only have humans managed to pollute the air […]

Volunteer Overseas to See Just What Kind of Difference You Can Make

That our world is a large place is not up for debate. These days, though, thanks to technological advances, the world is getting smaller. Crossing oceans is nothing anymore. Skype and the internet bring everyone together no matter how far apart they may be. When you can have a conference call with someone in Sierra […]

Are Politicians the Answer to Your Economic Recovery? -Why So Many Depending on Washington DC?

In today\’s economic climate we can\’t expect the government to bailout everybody. We as individual must learn to find other avenues to handle our own problems. This doesn\’t mean the government should not get involved helping people to get back on their feet, but bailing everyone out will be no different from a socialist country. […]

Politicians Seek Presidential Pardon For Heroes of Black History

There are some discussions in Washington D.C. that seem to have equal support from “both sides of the aisle,” which is rare. While most people continue to hope for bipartisanship regarding economic recovery programs, there are many in the African American community who are banking on those politicians who have put their differences aside to […]

Obama Vs. Cain: A Tale of Two Candidates (Hypothetically Speaking…Maybe??)

Gone are the days when tea parties involved little girls playing “make believe” and camping out happened in the woods with flashlights. In today’s turbulent times Tea Parties are a movement and there are more protesters with bull horns who have occupied Wall Street than bullish trading. Added to this mix is a hypothetical discussion […]

It\’s Too Early to Pay Attention to Polls

I had written an article a few months ago advising that we shouldn\’t jump to conclusions too early during the presidential primaries. The polls are likely to change often between now and the election. In 2007-08, the lead among the primary candidates changed often. Now that we\’re a year out, you\’d think we\’d be getting […]

A year is a lifetime in politics and certainly much could change between now and November 6th of 2012, so this is just a snapshot of how these 2012 presidential candidates look as of right now. 1.

3 Dead in Oakland. Pelosi, Quan, Have You no Shame?

I remember your news conference, Ms. Pelosi, all dewey-eyed and bright, wherein you praised the Occupiers and said of them, “Bless them.” Mayor Quan, I remember yours in which you deplored, not the street violence, but your police force\’s efforts to contain it. Well, Nancy, Jean, the Occupiers have gone to killing each other and […]

Bumper Sticker Wars and the Mr. Bojangles of American Politics

Democrat apologists seems to be favoring the \”Poor Baby\” approach — \”poor us, we Had It All in Obama and then magically he became… well…not-Obama.\” Pooh and piffle. To mourn the demise of the \’real\’ Obama is to seek a ghost. It never existed. Obama came into office a third-rate ambulance chaser shoved into the […]
