The Beyonce Phenomenon: Appreciation or Exploitation?

Posted by Nana Baakan Agyiriwah on May 2, 2018 at 7:00pm

"Culture Vultures come in all shapes and sizes, and even those whom you least expect are doing just that, using another's culture and tradition to further their own gain."

Now let me start by saying that it is quite obvious that there are plenty of people who sing the praises of the Queen B. They shake, rattle and roll at her awesomeness and find her to be a great example for their daughters. Then over in a tiny corner, far from view are just a few people who are not so taken by her.

Is Racial Bias a Factor In Cosby Jury Selection? (Videos)

NB Commentary: Personally, I don't think it's about race. I am sure they will be hard pressed to find a jury that either didn't hear about the allegations or never heard of Bill Cosby. I mean next to Oprah and Barack Obama, what other internationally known Black person have we heard of coming out of Hollywood especially during those days. Not to mention his TV series and commercials. If anything, folks will be more lenient even tolerant or maybe even disbelieving in the allegations due to his no

The Cosby Saga: Introduction (Videos)

Posted by Nana Baakan Agyiriwah on June 3, 2017 at 4:00pm

NB Commentary: Bill Cosby is about to be back in the news. After a little over a year or so, the media attention will be focused on him once again. Unless of course they give us something else to focus on. Which is quite likely.

I am going to create a video playlist… and hopefully I won't get too distracted from this project. But I have written several blogs on this topic and I wish to share my thoughts with you on some of the topics that I covered in my blog.

Google, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube have all thrown their hats into the ring of fire. Censorship is ironically being championed by the very Social Media outlets that have made their billions off Social Media.

The Clinton Chronicles - The Bill Clinton Murders (Video-Links)

Posted by Nana Baakan Agyiriwah on July 21, 2016 at 11:41pm

NB Commentary: This country dedicates monuments, federal buildings, streets, towns, libraries, roads and holidays to its war criminals, slave holders, pedophiles, drug addicts, corporate moguls and mafia connected king pins. It says a lot about how it protects its criminals, honors them and gives them high office in the land.

Small wonder that they would select someone like Bill Clinton for the presidency and quite possibly, his wife as well. I used to always wonder about that. It seems strange t

Is Bill Cosby, Hollyweird's Manchurian Candidate

Posted by Nana Baakan Agyiriwah on January 21, 2016 at 4:30pm

The Media gave us Bill Cosby, a relatively unknown comedian who reached meteoric stardom. They made Bill Cosby and gave him certain privileges that they would not give to any other Black man during the 60's & 70's and like Fred Sanford would tell us, if the white man is doing it than it must be right. Remember how he wouldn't go to a black dentist? Well, during that time we too were struggling if we could trust a Black professional "anything" over a white one. Once Cosby was sanctioned by "white

Hello All:

Just received this piece from one of my Lincoln U Classmates, and thought it would be an interesting read and share piece. It was originally written by Mr. Andrew M. Manis in 2008; but has been re-circulated by the author as a wake up call to his fellow Caucasians.
Read, share, respond.

It's 3:00 AM, and I'm going through my emails – something, being a night owl, I do routinely, in preparation for writing, or researching for my blog or a news article – when I see Bill Cosby's name in the subject line of an email. So, of course I zoom in on it because, anything about Cosby I'm going to read. He's one of my heroes.

What I read made me sad, then disappointed, and finally angry. It was an online response to an article that has been circulating the intern

This venerable event has been around now longer than most of Brooklyn's residents- celebrating 54 years and counting. It's full of wonderful, creative work from time honored and new artists – local and national. Interestingly enough, with June also being Black Music Month and Caribbean Heritage Month, there is a cross section of cultures converging on this tiny, yet highly signficant little part in Bed-Stuy – on Fulton between Lewis and Marcus Garvey Boulevards.

Former presidential candidate, Herman Cain, proved that despite a load of God given talent, he was unable to be a serious contender for the highest office in the land.

In the immortal words of former British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, “to every man there comes a time when he is figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a great and mighty work; unique to him and fitted to his talents; what a tragedy if that moment finds him unprepared

There is an absolute need to get these spies out of our government, so Congress must pass an Amendment to the U.S. constitution mandating that no elected or appointed State or Federal office holder can be, or have been a membe
