I got a surprise last week when one of my good friends hit me up from Afghanistan to wish me a happy birthday. Hadn’t had a chance to speak to him since just before he left this past January on what hopes to be his third and final tour. According to him, id he makes [...]

Just when I came to the conclusion that nothing would be done by the Obama administration as far as immigration. I get smacked in the face with welcoming news on the subject. No, the administration hasn’t granted amnesty as the usual suspects on the political right is claiming. Instead, it was announced this week that [...]

When president Obama said that it was best for members of Congress to stay on their summer recess and spend some time talking to their constituents, he was right. Much has been said about him bringing them back to Capitol Hill to work on job creation; but, as we’ve seen this week, voter frustration can [...]

I Just listened to Sarah Palin’s comments in regard to president Obama going on vacation with Greta Van Susteren. Umm, lady, you quit your job as governor of Alaska to go on a permanent vacation yourself; a paid one at that! Unlike you, at least Obama is working while on vacation with his family. You [...]

Whenever you hear the term Middle Class used in the media, it’s  probably a good idea to know that the term isn’t inclusive of people of color.

The minute Rep. Maxine waters came out asking for the CBC to be “unleashed” on Obama, I knew this would happen. I figured it would be a matter of time before Fox picked up the story and feature one of their resident conservative racial enablers to weigh in on this. Well, as usual, they didn’t [...]

Allow me to put things in perspective for those still actually “getting it” about Black unemployment in America. You know, the people who don’t understand why Black folks are bitching more than usual? C’mon, we Black people do complain about a lot of things; and yes, some of them can be trivial. But when it [...]

Just last week I highlighted the negative reaction some residents of Detroit had to Tavis Smiley and Dr. Cornel West’s Poverty Tour. The tour as I explained, sought to highlight the struggles people are facing in this economy; and as stated, Detroit should be the last city in the country against anyone seeking to chronicle [...]

Listen Barack, by now you should know that you can’t reason with these people. Nothing they say is ever rooted in reality. Yes, most of them live in some alternate universe – they don’y understand context, don’t care about context, and they’re just plain dumb But I saw that, Barack. I saw how you handled [...]

Did I ever tell you that I have peeps in London? Yeah, I have relatives in the UK. Uh-huh, please believe us West Indians and Caribbean people are all over the place. That said, after watching the coverage of the London riots I’ve had a few conbversations with my kinfolk over there. And lemme tell [...]

Well the bad news is that president Obama’s approval ratings hit and all-time low yesterday, by dipping to 39%. The good news is that Congress’s approval rating is even lower than the president at 13%. Even better news is that president Obama announced yesterday on his bus tour that he has a plan to create [...]
