Sorry, but I wouldn’t entirely dismiss the role of grievance in black identity—BLACK POLITICAL IDENTITY— as a “joke”. I don’t know how old you are, but I was “there” when the erstwhile Stokely Carmichael christened the modern embrace of the very term “black” for us ex-enslaved Africans in that moment between the end of the [...]

Harold Ford still believes that HE WILL be President of the U.S. and so now he’s attempting to position himself as an “advisor” to the presidential nomination process?! Please. Harold Ford has made it clear that he IS quite willing to play both ends to the middle as long as there’s something in it for [...]

That is a good attack ad. I think MoveOn’s on John McCain is better. But yes, someone please reach out and smack both Clintons for the giftwrapped soundbites to John McCain. Ugh. Ugh Ugh Ugh. Hillary won’t be veep because I doubt it was ever a real consideration. Just political games and the media is [...]

Dap: A fist-to-fist greeting, conducted as though the two parties are punching each other lightly. The word is both a noun and a verb; giving dap is also acceptable.

After more than 40 Democratic primaries and caucuses, Obama, the Illinois senator, leads Clinton by more than 800,000 votes. Even if the New [...]

Heh, Lanny wrote an article proposing giving Hillary the full 55% of Michigan’s pledged delegates from the sham primary and then he wants to split the remaining 45% of delegates between Clinton and Obama, giving Hillary with 100 delegates out of 130, because Obama took his name off the ballot! “A proposed solution for Fla. [...]

This won’t only be a problem in Appalachia. I would posit that this will happen everywhere there’s been pervasive economic problems, not just in the rust belt, but in areas of the south where economic competition between poor whites and poor blacks has been a common theme. The Southern Tenant Farmers Union (STFU) founded in [...]

I disagree with the notion that Black America’s problems are simply those of poor America. To simplify these issues as a matter of socio-economics is a dangerous oversight. Socio-economics is a part of the issue (and also a bi-product), but the heart of the problem is totally different. Please stop speading such nonsense. Look at [...]
