Un-"Common" Thoughts

May 12, 2011

 

Raynard Jackson

 

Last night Michelle Obama hosted an “Evening of Poetry” at the White House.  She invited an eclectic group of poets to recite their poetry.  But, Fox News and right wing radio has singled out one performer—the Grammy award winning rapper Common—to be on the receiving end of their ire.

 

I don’t listen to his music, but from talking with friends who know him, he seems to be a nice enough guy and is very talented!  But, he has one song about shooting a policeman, therefo

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER

We endorse Carol Moseley Braun for Mayor Feb. 22

Editorial art10079nar.jpg

For the first time in more than five decades, there won't be a Daley on the ballot for mayor of Chicago.

That alone would make the Feb. 22 election historic, but it also happens to fall on the same day that Harold Washington was elected to his first term in 1983. There is also the promise that this election will produce a city council that actually serves its constituents, instead of doing the bidding of Mayor Richard M

Though Rahm Emanuel, former Chief-of -Staff for President Obama, is seen as the front-runner, it would appear that an Afri

Yesterday the three leading Black candidates for Chicago Mayor met to discuss the possibility oftheir uniting around one, and while other Black leaders did not publicly respondwith any specific scenario to shape a united front, I am glad that I DIDpublicly offer one and STILL it was the best scenario to ADD to the Blackpolitical base and not lose ANY hard fought Black political seniority at theState and Federallevels.
