  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

  • Punching Above Our Weight
    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

  • Living in a Black No-Man's Land
    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that. Finally I...

MONEY WILL BUY BOOKS BUT IT WON'T BUY BRAINS.

 Before the  economic bailout situation black people had not one figure about the economy in terms of percentage of job losses, investment losses, mortgage losses or bank closing because if it is not important to white people it is not important to black America.

We now quote the figures provided to us by white America, we harbor their predictions and we concern ourselves with their well-being as it relates to our well-being.

The Chinese, Spanish, Asian, Arab and Indian players are continuing to make their way in the world in-spite of white Americas gloom and doom economic forecast but African Americans ignorantly live, breath and balance the prognosis of their lives based upon every word, announcement, figure or percentage point that spews from the mouth of white America.

How will we ever learn do for self when depending on White America's diagnosis and prognosis? White Americas facts and figures does not accurately reflect what condition your condition is in.

I am not a racist nor a militant but for independent sakes what is our own black analyst predicting for 2009? What does the accounting figures reveal from our own black accountants?

What does the black bank presidents have to say?  Where are the analysis from our black economic and accounting graduates from historically black universities?

What does our local black graduating university sons and daughters have to say as they enter the world of finance, accounting and economics?

African Americans stop tailgating white Americas lifestyle and spending habits. You can't do what they do nor live the lifestyle they live. White America have resources and priviledges that you don't possess.

Stop feeding and trying to grow off of White Americas afterbirth.

Look at what you have working for you not at what you have working against you. For heavens sake black people you have a black president when are you going to show some independence and leadership that determines for ourselves what condition our condition is in?
