  2. Things You Can’t Tell Mama – Her Man Was Once Yours – Free Limited Time

    in Black Literature

    Posted

    Everyone has done something at one point in their
    lives when they think – I can’t tell mama about this. Twenty-four year old
    Tanesha Green comes home to visit her mother and had a massive “Things I Can’t
    Tell Mama” experience when she meets her mother’s new fiancé, KJ, who turns out
    to be the man she lived with for 3 years while she was in college. The second
    in the “Things You Can’t Tell Mama” series – Her Man Was Once Yours - is the story of how a young woman feels
    trapped by circumstances because her old lover is her mother’s new fiancé,
    Kevin Mason. Tanesha struggles with her feelings about Kevin and how or if she
    will tell her mother Jasmine about her past with Kevin. This explosive
    situation comes to a head with surprising results.

  14. Charles Ramsey - Punished - That's Why People Don't Get Involved

    in Culture, Race & Economy

    Posted

    Everybody has heard Charles Ramsey's name by now. He helped
    three women escape from a house next door that had been missing for ten years
    in Cleveland, Ohio. I knew from the moment he started to get a lot of media
    attention, someone would try to dig up dirt on him and tear him down and it has
    happened already. Domestic abuse arrests of Ramsey from over ten years ago were
    dug up by a media company. We really need to examine our culture of finding
    fault with everything and everyone.

  15. Ratchet Woman by D T Pollard

    in Black Literature

    Posted

    My new book Ratchet Woman takes a new angle on a form of women bashing that is widespread today. Single women
    are ofter targeted and criticized when they make somewhat questionable choices in order to survive and often care for children without the help of the fathers. One term often thrown around when a woman seems to be wedged into a bad situation originated out of popular culture and it is the word Ratchet. Ratchet cover a wide range of behaviors and situations, but often those using it had a hand in placing their targets in those life situations to begin with.

  17. Don’t Make President Obama The Republican’s Garbage Man

    in Culture, Race & Economy

    Posted

    The Presidential election is coming up in November. In October the jobless rate, the lowest in 44 months, is back where it was when President Obama took the oath office. That means President Obama has cleaned up much of the prior damage done by Republicans, now they want to move back into the White House and tear things up again with the same behavior that destroyed everything the last time around. Don’t allow President Obama to be the Republican’s garbage man.

  20. Why Are Voters Controlled More Than Guns

    in Culture, Race & Economy

    Posted

    Nothing clears your head like calling out hypocrisy and shameful pandering to a powerful interest group. These are the times when you know who is really running the government and it’s not regular citizens. One glaring example is the reactions to the real issues of actual gun deaths versus almost nonexistent real voter fraud.

  22. Top Ten Reasons Why African American Bookstores Are Closing

    in Black Literature

    Posted

    DT, I hear you but your reasoning does not explain why I can go almost anywhere in this country and find several white owned, independent, bookstore thriving.

    Hickson I hear to you. Unfortunately much of the local support for the Harlem Book Fair is lacking for reasons similar to the ones you've mentioned. It is too bad the event has so much potential.

    As I said in my post, black bookstores already draw from a much smaller base to begin with. A larger base allows some white bookstores to survive even with reduced traffic. Black bookstore were already on the edge when they had less competition.

  23. Top Ten Reasons Why African American Bookstores Are Closing

    in Black Literature

    Posted

    I had to chime in on this. The reasons that African American bookstores are closing is both simple and complex at the same time. one big reason is the shift in what entertains us. Black bookstores already relied on a narrow section of the reading public and that segment aged and those coming behind them had other interests in entertainment such as music and videos. Given the low rate of graduation in the AA community, where are the new readers coming from.

    AA bookstores are getting ground up in the fight betweent retailing giants Amazon, Walmart, Target and Barnes & Noble who sell books at prices less than small store can buy at wholesale.

    The loss of independent authors to the new technology of ebooks that cost nothing to produce and distribute really hurt those stores that were hanging on. I can produce my books in print and/or digital format, but the cost of digital product is $0 and my titles are worldwide in one day. The Kindle and Nook allows independent bookstores no way to share in revenue. There are no book signings or consignment sales with ebooks.

    It is a tough story, but it is a tough world to survive in.
