    Well, the time has finally arrived! For what? The beginning of the Final Four March Madness count down? Nope. The canonization of 2 Catholic popes? Nope. The official announcement that Obamacare has reached its goal? Nope. The location of the missing Malaysian jetliner's black box? Nope. What? Tonight's premier epsode of the new season of - Game of Thrones! Me, along with millions of other fans have been patiently awaiting the return of this fantasy saga. Why, you wonder, would an octogenarian like me be anxiously anticipating the return of a series reminiscent of a video game? I dunno. Why am I not more excited about the movie based on the old biblical…

    I may have writer's block when it comes to posting here, but I am busily involved in putting the finishing touches on a manuscript I want to publish primarily as an e-book. Talk about writing being re-writing. The latest version of this story bears little resemblence to the original which I posted here a couple of year ago. Even the characters' names have been changed. All the revisions have been necessary because the first version of this book was written almost 15 years ago and things have so radically changed since then. And that includes me and my atttudes. The original story ended up just being a blueprint for the final draft which I have taken great pains to ma…

  5. The following article is printed with permission from the author. Putinism vs. The Global Obama, or Clash of the Titans Dinesh Sharma, Institute for Global Cultural Studies, SUNY-Binghamton When President Obama was elected in 2008, his approval ratings around the world were extremely high, in part due to the Bush-fatigue from the Iraq war, and his approval has remained relatively high through 2013, except in the Muslim majority nations in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia. President Obama clearly does not lack vision and audacity. “By his own account, Obama sought nothing less than to bend history’s arc in the direction of justice and a more pea…

    Cynique, Converse's All Stars, or "Cons," as well called them came after the PF Flyers. Cons were popular in my hood as well. I've actually never owned a pair, but they were very popular. While Cons have waned in popularity over the years I'm not sure people ever stopped wearing Cons. I've heard the term "Bo-Bo" before but we never used it. Our analogous term for no-name brand sneakers was "Skippies" or "Rejects." There was a rhyme we use to tease people when they were busted rockin' a pair of skippies; Skippies, the make your feet fine, Skippies, they cost a dollar ninety-nine. I don't recall they rest of the lines. Fortunately I never had the …

I've been spending quite a bit of time, energy and even money trying to promote other business that promote and uplift Black people. This has been an UPHILL battle. Remarkably I've gotten more resistance than support. If I can't make anymore progress than I have in 2014.

I post books information on Facebook almost daily. It takes a few seconds and brings a handful of people to the site, so I do it. Of course, all of positive stuff gene…

This is a trivial slight perhaps done by a know-nothing-unpaid-intern. I mean I have taken some abuse and have even gotten a death threat running this site, that angered me less, so why did this bother me? I thought about it for a second. The answer is pretty simple. I'm very frustrated than Black websites have still not figured out how to work together. In this instance in the interest of self-preservation, through ignorance, Ebony Magazine has flagged my post as spam. They could have simply not allowed it to be seen. Th…

In making his case, Steinberg cited a study that took place over 20 years ago. It was administered by Harvard sociologists and it tested young children to determine the long term effects of an experiment where these kindergarteners were given a choice to accept a single treat right away, or to wait until later and get 2 treats. The testers followed the particpants in this study for 20 years and found that those who waited and got the extra treat, fared better in lif…
