But again, I have no idea how that was done. I wouldn’t know all that I do about history, if I spent my time watching cartoons and other TV shows. [Chuckles]

  2. It's official. As of July 2012, both presidential candidates have combined to raise over one billion dollars for their campaigns and are on pace to reach close to 4 billion dollars. Keep in mind, this does include estimated super PACs funding. Never before have we seen this amount of money raised so quickly for a presidential campaign. Considering the slow growth of our economy and an adjusted unemployment rate above 8%, many people wouldn’t expect to see money raised at this rate. But, should we really be surprised? Many Americans love presidential politics as much as they love professional football, baseball, and basketball teams. It’s a national competition with only t…

  3. Our parents were being born into this world a little more than 50 years ago. They were the children of Black Americans born three generations after the abolishment of slavery. But thanks to governmental acceptance of the institution of segregation, they remained second class citizens. Being second class citizens, they did not have access to the best schools and were ineligible for many good paying jobs. Our grandparents refused to allow this form of segregation to remain in place and demanded change. They made a choice to fight for this change by any means neccessary. This choice cost some people their lives and others their freedom. While fighting for these rights, our g…

Prince was in Chi-Town for a 3-day engagement. The ol boy can still generate interest and excitement. Tickets to his concert were a hot item. All of his middle-aged fans who grew up with him were hustling up the money for tickets, none of which were under $125.00; this in addition to the exorbitant parking costs attendng this event would include. My FaceBook community was all agog with anticipation. My daughter made the gesture of asking me if I wanted to go with her because I usually t…

    Why does Hickson ignore one of the most basic rules of netiquette: do not type in all caps. There are many reason one should avoid this; It is simply harder to read It is perceived as SCREAMING It actually trigger many email spam filters It just turns some people off The question remains: Is typing in all caps effective? I'm sure Hickson can tell if it is, but given that he has been doing the entire time he has been posting I suspect it is effective. The real question then is why it is effective? It is like asking why is Kola Boof effective, despite her unorthodox methods? I have my theories, but hopefully we will hear from Hickson himself. One clue we can…

    Recently I've been highlighting married couple who have written books and maintained successful marriages. Doing one is difficult. Doing both is rare and I think really noteworthy. Apparently that idea puts me in the minority. With the exception of the Obama's, so much time an energy is spent focusing on the negative aspects of marriage: The astonishingly high divorce rates, the out of wed lock babies the disintegration of the Black family, the Will and Jada Smiths of the world, etc I figured I'd invest a little energy to buck the trend and highlight the positive.

  17. Am I the only one who thinks the coverage of the presidential campaign is indistinguishable from a reality TV program? Use of purportedly real people - √ Situations or environment manipulated - √ Interactions designed to appear unscripted - √ Participants in direct competition - √ Live footage edited to "enhance" story - √ Goal is to provide entertainment - √√ That said, I'm not sure we the public would have it any other way.

  25. Human Beings First: A Historical Examination of the Non-Bizarre Delusion of Biological Race takes an in-depth look at the "cultural artifact" of race. Although human beings, regardless of phenotype, are members of the same species, there has been a concerted effort by many to separate people into groups based on physical appearance. This book will discuss the fallacy of such efforts and how they have often led to tragic consequences.

    An ALTERNET article that gets specific about what we already know. "York City, the pot-bust capital of the Western world, is notorious for the racial skewing of its marijuana arrests. Over the last 15 years, more than 85 percent of the half-million-plus people charged with misdemeanor possession there have been black or Latino. But the racial ratios of reefer roundups are equally extreme—if not worse—in scores of other U.S. cities. In Atlanta, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Washington, more than 80 percent of the people popped for pot possession are black. In Minneapolis and its Hennepin County suburbs, black people are 11 percent of the population and more tha…

Scott-Heron’s musical career spanned five decades; he released twenty albums, and many seminal singles. He was a key figure in the creation of spoken word poetry and many maintain he is the “Godfather of Rap.” However, he never referred to himself in that manner. His socially conscious work has been described as, “savagely satirical, and disarmingly tenderhearted.” His death on Ma…
