Are The Drives For "Diversity" And "Unity" Mutually Exclusive?

2012-01-24T08:49:00.000-05:00

As I was listening to a C-SPAN radio presentation yesterday (ironically as I was in a 'farmer's market' in which people from seemingly every part of the world were seen shopping) I listened to an interesting presentation about the need to get more female elected officials in this nation because of the consciousness and problem solving skills that they bring to the table. The key point that

The China ASEAN Free Trade Region - Keep Watch

2012-01-18T08:43:00.001-05:00

About 8 years ago I posted an audio recording of an economic strategist who predicted that the world will one day converge into a network of regional trading zones. They mentioned: North America Asia Europe South America Middle East (Interestingly they made no mention of Africa. I am not sure if he assumed that Africa was lumped under the Middle East or would continue as a protectorate

"It Doesn't Matter Because It Doesn't Matter". This is a saying that I came with after watching the two "Dung Producing Parties" joust each other, compelling people to follow along, compromising their own integrity in the process. What is done on the front end to elicit a response - DOESN'T MATTER. The attacks are often shallow, their "team" is guilty of the same thing. The intended

"Self-Relations Psychotherapy" As A Start For Consciousness Reestablishment

2012-01-01T23:57:00.000-05:00

I went searching Wikipedia for the word "sponsor" for some reason that I do not recall. I ran into a page on "Self-Relations Psychotherapy" with the following opening paragraphs: Self-relationship is an aspect of psychotherapy which describes and focusses on the crucial relationship between a person and their own self. Formally described in Stephen Gilligan's article: The relational self: the

THIS IS NOT A "POLITICAL BLOG". This is a blog of observations and strategy. It so happens that politics and ideology is so pervasive in the lives of Black Americans that the discussion of how the forces of politics bear upon the Black community is a necessary point of analysis and debate.

In metro-Atlanta this past weekend at least two Black males where shot dead on the street. One was shot dead by a policeman. The other was "Just another Ninja who got himself kilt". Based on these divergent vectors through which the homicides occurred I formed a theory on how each of these deaths would be presented in Black community and political discourse.

Republican Presidential candidate Herman Cain recently caused a stir when he said "If you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself.” In the world of "gotcha politics" that we live in this Black Conservative man who has never held an elective office apparently committed a greater assault than did the people who do hold power and have failed to create jobs yet they blame others.

The recent dust up over a Republican legislator in Michigan who sought to add a provision to state foster care clothing purchase regulations which mandated that only used clothing be purchased with the $80 per year stipend trigged me to go to a used clothing store to see for myself. On my drive to the local Goodwill store which opened up in late March 2011 I noted that a new consignment store

Searching For The Real Conservatives On Abortion

Most Black People Mistake "White Supremacy" For GRAVITY Is as much as physicists and scientists were transparent in their efforts to understand the impact that the gravitational force imposed by one mass upon another - they produced a formula which had the goal of measuring the relative force that is imposed.

2011-04-28T12:17:00.000-04:00

In the world of priorities we as a people talk most about "Self Determination". In the context of our enslavement in America the fact that our priorities were stripped from us and we had to assume those of another people is the most frequent reference. They used our people's labor in order to enrich their own selves. It is equally true that priorities are related to the forces bearing upon us

The saga of Black school children being physically threatened because of the choices of where they attend school is nothing new. The interesting point of the story below from Chicago is that the "National Guard" forces who are sent out to protect these Black kids are Black.

Bill Cosby Goes Hood On Russell Simmons Once again Bill Cosby's foundation of work within the community provides him with the clout to blow off an "Attack Sheep Dog".

On Saturday morning I stopped by the house of some family friends to allow my kids to play with theirs. The husband had suffered a job loss due to the downsizing at a large company. The wife always reminds me to keep an eye out for him in the case that a job opportunity or a contract comes up. This was the first time that him and I got a chance to talk business. He told me that he was holding

In our struggle for "Equality" in America - Black people have sought the right to speak in the public square though the voting process in the selection of the nation's political leaders as evidence us having achieved this elusive state.

I heard two reports recently that are related to issues that many Black Americans face with their finances.

The other presented a more dispassionate analysis of what happened and then detailed the efforts that are taking place to provide needed "access to capital" and

Esperanza Spalding Should Not Need A "Grammy Award" To Affirm Her Greatness And Have Her Talents Promoted Within Our Community

2011-02-15T21:37:00.000-05:00

The "hateration" on Esperanza Spalding that was triggered by Justin Bieber fans should not be the observation that triggers our community into action in defense of Esperanza Spalding. Instead her ample talents and quality music - which could trigger other young people to follow in her footsteps - slowly pushing 'Hip Hop Voice Of The Street Pirate Music" to the side. The music form that would
