  • 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.

    Recent events have raised the profile of historical injustice and inequities here in the USA. The entire world has taken note of the fact that BLACK LIVES MATTER.   We invite all of our friends to engage in actions that result in the greatest movement for change in our history. It is imperative that we take advantage of this opportunity to affect a positive change by ACTING IN OUR SELF-INTERESTS.

  • 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...

It Tickles Me...

It tickles me how some people will find their way to a site that is geared toward Black people (even a site with an Afrocentric name) and whine about Black bloggers; throwing a tantrum over a Black blogger evaluating our condition in America as it relates to racism or the hypocrisies of the larger White society. Their views are better expressed (and more welcomed) over at stormfront and other White supremacist sites. Anyone who pretends White racism has become a non-issue in the lives of anyone (even Whites) is a bit pathological. You can't take him/her too seriously although the presence of these types of personalities are frequent in appearance on Black-oriented sites. Go figure.

Anyway, in light of the fact that these individuals are not wrapped all that tight, this will be the only post I will do that addresses their blogging behavior. Most often, their type of 'don't discuss whites or you are the problem' behavior is only meant to draw Black people into a blog fight with each other as the attention is taken off White racism/White Supremacy. So, with that said, that blogger is welcome to carry on his 'mission' without any further mention (directly or indirectly) in my blog. And I'll carry on with mine. Every other post in my blog will be my views of White racism and the White hypocrisy it produces. I'll blog about it whenever I have the time.

White media, including nearly every internet blogging site and message board, has Whites examining "black" behavior as though we are the peculiar ones when it comes to race matters. We need more bloggers examining theirs. And if it helps shed light on their contradictions, then reference their material or the material of other Black people who have exposed contradictions while investigating their documents and behavior (as I discussed in my first blog entry).


And everyone who drops by to read my blog, don't forget to look for that story about Hillary and Bill Clinton and their 'White House' experience. If you want a direct link to the story, send me a pm.

 

Peace and blessings.
