Gimmie Dat

I’m not really into posting videos and what not, but I liked this song and figured,  “what the hey?“  The song is titled “ Gimmie Dat “ by Ambassador.

What if your soap did not work?

There I was, washing my hands at the sink, my senses alive and my eyes enchanted by the almost fluorescent green of the liquid soap. My skin tingly with the germ killing aptitude of the silky smooth emollients. My mind boggled by the soap’s ability to moisturize while slaughtering icky bacteria and germs with reckless abandon. My nose enthralled by the scents of juicy melons (not sure which melons and how juicy, but, just go with me on this). My very soul energized and provoked by extracts of various fruits, berries, and trees from the farthest jungles all around the world.

Then, I thought about this question, and it resonated with my own doubts/fears/neuroses: “What if soap didn’t work?”

The Irony of President Obama’s Fear Language

Let’s be clear: This recession has become President Barack Obama’s personal War on Terror. Like the War on Terror, the enemy is evasive, the challenge is global, international cooperation is necessary, and the battle is unlike any other in our nation’s history.

Suicide… A Selfish, Cowardly Way Out

The late comedian Redd Foxx once said, “Negroes, we don’t kill ourselves. We too hip to suffering.” I’ve always believed he was right. But the more I see Black people sinking under the weight of the bad economy; I’m starting to wonder.

President Barack Obama 2009 Inauguration and Address

Enough with the Sports and Entertainment

The over exposure of sports and entertainment in our society has the potential of keeping a generation of Black children from being all they can be and it needs to be addressed now.

Black Head Football Coaches… Tough Situation

Considering the number of Black players, it is a shame there are so few (four) Black head football coaches among the 119 Football Bowl Subdivision teams. Suing the NCAA or individual schools will not fix the problem.

Things Will Get Worse… Who Will Survive?

The enemy to our hearts, our souls, and our very lives could not have written a better script than the current economy to wreck lives, strain relationships and pull families apart. What can we do to survive?

America’s President… That Black One

It’s been a week since the great day, and now that I’ve calmed down (just a little), wiped the tears away, and my face has gotten back to normal from exaggerated smiling, it’s time for me and you to get back to reality.

“Hello”

In case you haven’t noticed, we are not very civil with each other. There is an air of distrust between us. It’s most noticeable between men and women. Those with means don’t seem interested in the least about those without means. Parents of successful children seem reluctant to share parenting techniques with parents who are struggling with their kids. Many Christians who love God don’t love their neighbor unless that neighbor is also a Christian and preferably a member of the same church.

The Talented Tenth… Where U At?

“The Negro race, like all other races, is going to be saved by its exceptional men.” That statement was made by W.E.B DuBois in a series of articles written in September of 1903. It was a relevant statement 104 years ago and it is a relevant statement now.

Who Stole The Soul?

I don’t listen to the radio anymore.  As a matter of fact, I haven’t listened to the radio in years.  I regard music television just as I do radio.  As far as mainstream music is concerned, I’ve been out of the loop for quite some time and there isn’t any music out now good enough for me to acknowledge.  At the current moment, in my humble opinion, black music is weak.  Yes I said it, weak.
