A pall of gloom hangs over the the Chicagoland sports community. We were all set to don our Bulls jerseys and root our heroes on through the NBA play-offs. Optimism was high. The Bulls had racked up the winningest record in the NBA, a feat which earned them first place in their division and home court advantage throughout the entire series. Our superstar MVP point guard, Derek Rose, was healthy, as was his backcourt partner, Rick Hamilton. The starting line-up was rarin to go and the "bench mob" ready to step up. It's was going to be a long, hard-fought process, but the championship was in our reach. And then in their first play-off game against the Phildep…

I wonder why Fox News, News Max, and other so-called "Conservative" outlets rarely if ever have Mr. Sowell on? They love pushing silly minded negroes like Candace Owens and Jesse Lee Peterson who parrot racist right-wing talking points, but when it comes to intelligent well spoken AfroAmericans who promote traditional "conservative" AfroAmerican values with clarity.....they pretend these people don't even exist.

Requesting Book Review: by author Title: Godless Circumcisions: A Recollecting & Re-membering of Blackness, Queerness & Flows of Survivance Author: Tabias Olajuawon Wilson ISBN-10: 1519539967 ISBN-13: 978-1519539960 Publication Date: 1/8/16 Synopsis: Godless Circumcisions is a witty and forceful study of race, sex and politics in contemporary culture. Personal and poetic, these essays, poems and biographical trysts disrobe issues central to the black, queer and working class existences. Wilson speaks fluently—fluctuating between academic authority, queer griot and matter-of-fact honesty—to issues of racial-sexual terror; masc…

Republicans are not buying into Mitt Romney as their champion to battle President Barack Obama for President in the 2012 election. Will they be forced to take their Mitt medicine in the end?

The FBI's Vendetta Against Martin Luther King, Jr. excerpted from the book The Lawless State The crimes of the U.S. Intelligence Agencies by Morton Halperin, Jerry Berman, Robert Borosage, Christine Marwick Penguin Books, 1976 p63 For the FBI, an organization seeking to register blacks in the South was clearly suspicious. Until 1962, the bureau would monitor King and SCLC under the "racial matters" category, which required agents to collect "all pertinent information" about the "proposed or actual activities of individuals and organizations in the racial field." According to the Senate Select Committee, the FBI inf…

Last night a rare phenomena appeared in the sky and, as is my custom when something like this occurs, I venture out into the night to gaze skyward and commune with nature. This time I really had an ideal setting for doing this because the weather was warm, the breezes balmy and the visibility clear. So on June 20th, the occasion of 2016's summer solstice, I stood on my patio and stared up at the full moon which hasn't coincided with this date since 1948 and will not happen again until 2062. Any full moon during the month of the summer equinox is called a "strawberry moon" because Native Americans looked upon it as a good time to gather fruits and berries. Smilin…

I suspect the British actors Idris Elba, as Nelson Mandela and Naomie Harris as Winnie Mandela will submit better performances than the Americans Terrance Howard and Jennifer Hudson did in the same roles in the film Winnie Mandela, which came out in September.

Has anyone noticed how the main stream media has GONE BACK to speaking of the of Africa in broad and general terms as if it's a country rather than a continent with a diversity of different countries and cultures? Whether they're talking about the recent trip Melania took or talking about an international event they are starting to say "Africa" more and more without specifying exactly what nation in Africa they're speaking about. The only time they give an African nation respect're doing it is when they're talking about NORTH African nations like Lybia or Egypt. Infact, on CBS one of the reporters spoke about her trip to Africa AND Egypt! They don't give the di…

I usually wait for a new poster to comment before welcoming them to the forums, but @aMhayes1946 appears to be using a real photo and a version of his government name which only a few of us regular posters do.

The Trials of Muhammad Ali is not a conventional sports documentary. Befitting its extraordinary and complex subject, the film examines Ali's life outside the ring, beginning with the announcement of his deeply held and controversial Islamic religious beliefs, and the decision to change his "white man's name" of Cassius Clay to Muhammad Ali. The film explores his refusal to serve in the Vietnam war, even after his status as a conscientious objector was denied, on the grounds of protesting racial … More Rating: Unrated Runtime: 1 hr. 34 min.

There's a rumor that in Asian and Jewish homes, any grade less than an A means that changes will have to be made. In White homes, anything less than a B means that changes will be made. Unfortunately, in Black homes, as long as you pass, everything is okay. The future of te Black race lies in the hands of White female teachers and single-parent mothers. Why does parent involvement in school decline as the child grows older? Every boy needs a male role model. You can't be what you have not seen. Boys will be what they see. The teacher has your son for 180 days. You have your son for a minimum of 18 years. Many fatherless boys are aggressive and possess a derogatory at…

The debut of Caitlyn, alter-ego of female wanna-be, and former Olympic champion Bruce Jenner, is the trending topic on social media. The Internet is all a-twitter either praising or panning Caitlyn’s flipping of the gender script. For daring to share with the world her angst about being a woman trapped in a man's body, "Bruclyn" has become the anathema of the Religious Right, the poster child for the LGBT community and an enigma for ex-wife Kris Kardashian. But, since “she” had the money to remedy this mix-up via plastic surgery and hormones, she has earned the honor of appearing on the cover of Vanity Fair, flaunting her new identity, all glamorous and feminine, skill…

An inspirational message I just had to share, as a final homage to Oprah... A real man is a woman's best friend. He will never stand her up and never let her down. He will reassure her when she feels insecure and comfort her after a bad day. He will inspire her to do things she never thought she could do; to live without fear and forget regret. He will enable her to express her deepest emotions and give in to her most intimate desires. He will make sure she always feels as though she's the most beautiful woman in the room and will enable her to be the most confident, sexy, seductive and invincible. No wait... Sorry.. I'm thinking of wine. It’s…

Well, it's the last month of the year 2013 as we trudge through the darkness on our way to the end of the winter solstice that will occur December 21st. Getting past that, we begin a new journey toward the light which will reward us with the longest day of the year on June 21st, 2014. If you check out the night sky you'll probably see Venus, the "evening star" blazing extra bright as it does every year at this time when it's closest to our planet, reminding us of how predictable astronomy is. So, there does seem to be order to the universe. But the planet earth didn't get the memo. Everything here seems to be in a random state of flux thanks to a world-wide blitz of …

Well, I went out and did my civic duty by exercising the right those who came before me fought and died for. Casting my vote for a women for president now belongs right up there with the the other historical milestones I participated in when I voted for John F. Kennedy, the first Catholic president, and Barack Obama, the first black one, not to mention being a witness to the Chicago Cubs winning their first world series in 108 years. Now what? Is the turmoil that America is currently experiencing the natural result of a republic where the diverse population gradually evolved into "a house divided against itself". Can we stand? Are we overacting? Will this hectic…

For years I've been maintaining a list of the most popular Black-owned websites. That list of 50 websites is actually derived from a much longer list of over 300 websites. The idea was to track the web's largest Black-owned websites who attracted the most visitors. Again, I started the list years ago and expected it to grow, but to a point where it would be difficult to manage. Despite the pages being one of the most popular on the website, the list has actually been shrinking! I have to review the list periodically to check for websites that are no longer active. Usually the domains are quickly snapped up by other, often unrelated, websites trying to take…
