Lorraine Hansberry was a genius! The way in which she described institutionalized racism through characters in "A Raisin in the Sun" was brilliant. However, it is little known that her play, A Raisin in the Sun (though reflective of the story of the collective) was also very much reflective of her personal experiences. Link: http://www.wttw.com/main.taf?p=76,4,4,10 "Chicago native and author Lorraine Hansberry drew on childhood experiences to write her acclaimed novel-turned-play A Raisin in the Sun, in which a black family faces discrimination after buying a home in an all-white neighborhood. Hansberry was nearly eight years old when her father, Carl Han…

(Note: Would anyone happen to have a violin? You can almost hear the snobs and feel the tears and snot dripping from the screen.) "Path to National Suicide" Pat Buchanan 2007 "At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? "I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide." So said Abe Lincoln to the Young Men's Lyceum in Springfield. Observing the Senate last week, and looking over the latest figures from the Census Bureau, America is now risking national sui…

This has got to be so hard for the family of Tyler Clementi. Can you imagine the heartbreak of the dead son as the mother of the defendant, bawled and that her son (who was possibly facing at least 10 years) had not even yet had the chance to live his life, that he already had "so much on his shoulders"? What about the Tyler Clementi? Who has less of the chance to live his life? Is the one that was breathing and looking quite indifferent as the mother of the son he had spied on cried? Or is it the one who ended his life after being humiliated by the defendant's cyber actions? I know that Ravi did not physically murder Clementi, that Clementi took his own life. Howeve…

The Only One Chapter 18 Carole Everly was grateful for an opportunity to finally start turning her life around, and riding alongside Philip Atkins as he wheeled his BMW through the traffic on Chicago’s Lake Shore Drive, she felt more relaxed and upbeat than she had in a long time. “I’m glad you could fit me into your busy schedule,” Philip was saying. “Really flattered that I beat out the book you were planning to spend the evening with.” “I’m never too busy to meet with an old friend,” Carole replied. “Particularly one who wants to take me out to eat!” “A dinner invitation always works with women,” Philip chuckled. “Y’all love to be fed.” “This is true…

ABC News Hate Groups Grow as Racial Tipping Point Changes Demographics By COLLEEN CURRY May 18, 2012 The number of radical hate groups and militias has exploded in recent years in reaction to the changing makeup of America, and new census figures showing the majority of babies born in 2011 were non-white could fuel those simmering tensions, experts who track hate groups warned. "White supremacist groups have been having a meltdown since the census bureau predicted that non-Hispanic whites would lose the majority by 2050," said Mark Potok, spokesman for the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate groups. "The demographic change in this country i…

The Only One Chapter 17 She had been wondering about him off and on for the past month, and he had been thinking about her, too, and just as she decided to reach for her phone, its ringtone sounded and she was quick to answer. “Well, hello!” Carole greeted, hearing the familiar voice. “Would you believe I was just thinking about you when I heard your name mentioned on the news earlier in connection with the capture of the garbage dumpster killer? What a feather in your cap!” “Yeah,” Philip Atkins said. “Finally caught up with that goddamned maniac! Would you believe it was my partner, Brooks – hold on a minute, let me see who this is on my call-waiting…

Before I tell you what happened today, let me issue a disclaimer: I don't drink/smoke. All right then.Today, I was all alone in my garden, tending to my vegetables and then, I saw.......a SNAKE! I started to be afraid, but I heard a voice saying, "Just be cool." It wasn't my conscience saying this and I knew I was alone, so I'm kinda wonderin what the heck is going on. Come to find out, it was the snake. It said, "Be cool, I don't use my mouth to bite; I use it to talk." I guess the snake could tell that I was kinda freaked out, so it took out some food and told me to help myself. OKAY... Now, please tell me how many of you believe this story and how many of you…

...repeated in so many different variations, across the nation, for generations When the Pruitt-Igoe housing project opened back in 1956, its 33 high-rise towers were hailed as a symbol of the future of American urban renewal. Located on a 57-acre tract on St. Louis’ north side, the federally-funded development was created to provide shelter for 12,000 African-American refugees of the city’s crumbling slums.

The Only One Chapter 16 “It’s like waitin for the other shoe to drop.” Philip Atkins was saying to his partner Brooks Jones as they rode along, on their way to their favorite greasy spoon diner for lunch, discussing the fact that the garbage dumpster serial killer hadn’t struck lately. “Maybe he’s on a hiatus,” Brooks suggested. “Might have an engagement lined up for tomorrow night, one that shows some promise. And even if the date doesn’t cooperate, he can still get his rocks by killing her." “Man, that’s cold,” Philip scowled.. “You sound more like a misogynistic rap fan than the - cerebral jazz devotee you call yourself!” “I’m just trying to get insid…

I just read Cynique's lamenting I also watched the last few minutes of the Knicks win over his royal majesty Lebron James' Miami heat. Spike Lee was in the audience giving birth over the games -- sitting in a seat worth a mortgage payment. The Knick's game was close and kept the injury prone team from breaking their own record 13 straight playoff losses and a 0-7 season spanking by the Heat. But other than those observations the game really meant nothing for me. Sure there were some great shots and moves made, but the game could have been played by two completely different teams and I would have been just as unmoved. I did not care who won or lost -- the only …

They had met for drinks and conversation, becoming better acquainted while enjoying each other's company… “I’m debating about whether I want to get the latest IPad,” Troy had said, taking a swallow of his Heineken, “because in a matter of months they’ll come out with a new and improved version.” “That’s for sure,”Debbie had agreed, sipping her Cosmopolitan. “They always do that.” “Apple honchos are marketing geniuses with their planned obsolescence strategy,” he’d asserted. “Right,” she’d nodded. “Steve Jobs was really smart, and he didn’t …

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…

Why enable disappointment? If he really wants to get in touch, let him find a way on his own. He has access to my personnel folder, let him get my number from there.” “Boy, have you changed your tune!” Wanda marveled.…

The Only One Chapter 13 Time passed, the second week being a replay of the first one, - Tuesday a replay of Monday, all to the chagrin of Carole Everly who was forced to watch Troy Briggs and Debbie Marlowe play out their mating game. Then, it was Friday again and, with her being a glutton for punishment, Friday wasn’t something Carole was inspired to thank god for since this one would be Troy Briggs’ last day at her branch office. A study in wistfulness, Carole sat there in the bustling cafeteria of her work place, the setting that had been the backdrop of a drama which for 6 weeks had played itself out around a table top littered with crumbs. Her role i…

Recently, the Summit of the Americas was held. Every single country to attend the summit was in favor of Cuba's attendance. 32 countries voted in favor of Cuba being invited to the summit. Only two countries opposed Cuba's attendance, the U.S. and Canada. Outnumbered, clearly. However, U.S. and Canada vetoed the majority vote (which was the vote of 32 favoring countries) on the grounds that Cuba did not qualify as Cuba is not a "democracy" and that the summit was only for those countries that are "democratic". Again, the will of 2 countries outweighed the will of 32 countries. How's that for a lesson in democracy from the Americans and the Canadians~

How can one have humanistic intentions and declare opposition to the war on the middle class yet never even think to sincerely oppose the war on the poor?

Brilliant and uncompromising in his integrity and in his advocacy... "Many African-American witnesses subpoenaed to testify at the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) hearings in the 1950s were asked to denounce Paul Robeson (1888–1976) in order to obtain future employment. Robeson, an All-American football player and recipient of a Phi Beta Kappa key at Rutgers, received a law degree at Columbia. He became an internationally acclaimed concert performer and actor as well as a persuasive political speaker. In 1949, Robeson was the subject of controversy after newspapers reports of public statements that African Americans would not fight in “an imperialist…

The 6th annual Summit of Americas will be held on Saturday and Sunday in Cartagena, Colombia. Barack Obama will be in attendance along with 29 other government leaders, including Colombia's president, Juan Manuel Santos. Santos recently called for the discussion of the legalization and decriminalization of certain drugs (such as marijuana). This discussion is sure to be a major topic in this weekend's dialogue and could possibly spark drastic changes in the North American led "War on Drugs", which has become increasingly militarized.

From the Martin Luther King Jr. who is never played during "comfortable" Black History Month tribute sound bites. "I have almost readched the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's greatest stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Klu Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice who prefers a negative peace, which is the absence of tension to a present peace, which is the presence of justic'e; who constantly says, 'I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can agree with you in your method of direct action', who paternalisticaly believes he can set the timetable for another ma…

Driving along, on her way to work, Carole found herself in better spirits, and neither the aggravation of the rush hour traffic, nor the cold dreary weather, nor the stupid chatter on the “morning drive” radio station could affect her upbeat mood. Renewed by the visit to her parents, motivated by the worthy cause that had sprung from her self-realization, she was now ready to disperse the dark past by taking on the role of a torch bearer for misunderstood black woman. Earlier, staring into the mirror as she stood over the wash basin brushing her teeth, she had given herself a lecture. Troy Briggs was not out of reach. He was a part of her daily environment.

The Only One Chapter 11 Much to her dismay, as days passed, Carole Everly found herself begrudging Debbie Marlowe her “happy gene”. Of course it didn’t help that if the attention of Troy Briggs was what made Debbie happy, she didn’t need a gene to keep her smiling, - something Carole wasn’t doing much of thanks to the glumness caused by her fixation on Troy Briggs. Troy Briggs - Mr. Contrariness, himself; the heart-throb who was giving her heart-burn, turning her into a smoldering spy. True, there was nothing brazen about their interaction but Carole discerned that a subtle flirtation was going on between Troy Briggs and Debbie Marlowe. She detec…
