TWO SAYINGS AND TWO SINS

      Of the quotes I have been blessed to have collected over the years, these two have impact on this month’s column.  They come from two different eras but are pretty much on the same side of the same coin.  The first saying comes from one of my heroes, Booker T. Washington.  Here is his quote: “A whining, crying race may be pitied…but seldom respected.”

        Let me break this first saying down as it reflects upon our race in these last days.  While many of our youn

THE ‘FLIP FLOP’ CZAR AND PARTY ARE BACK IN TOWN

      I can’t take credit for the title of my column, this time around.  I owe thanks to Business Commentator and Columnist Scott Shellady as he was being interviewed on Varney & Company by host Stuart Varney on the Fox Business channel towards the end of July 2024. 

      It was Shellady who coined the phrase as the discussion turned to how VP Kamala Harris was having her background ‘scrubbed and sanitized’ as she has been ‘pronounced’ as yet the l

     The Biden Presidency has officially ‘jumped the shark’ after ONE debate.  Sadly, Black Democrats who hitched their wagon to the ‘Biden/Haris’ ticket are going to be looking very glum for the Fourth of July holiday, as their top of the ticket pretty much left the Black community in the cold as thousands of Illegal Aliens rush in to take our jobs and ‘pork up’ on bennies, rangin

THE BLACK VOTE: BLACKS JUST DON’T GET IT!

BLACKS JUST DON’T GET IT!

THIS EMPTY RHETHORIC OF PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNERS

IS DECEIVING BLACKS AGAIN!

 

Here we are again voting in a presidential election and looking to the descendants of our SLAVERS, nonetheless, to improve the lifestyle of descendants of Slaves with their ubiquitous promises of greater opportunities to equality and an end to racism.   How the heck can these candidates program the racist minds and hearts of our enemies to end race hatred when they are just as gui

Hello All:

Recently registered Rep-ugh-blican, Raynard Jackson posted a critical article stating that the Republican Party had abandoned him. And he took umbrage to some of their racist tactics. But, as you will read, he copped out in the end, and his conclusion left a lot to be desired.  So I wrote the following response to his statement.   You can read his complaint, and see if you agree with my response.  His article follows my response:

September 15th marks the anniversary of a terrible tragedy in our history. On this day forty-nine years ago, during a service at the 16th Street Baptist Church titled, “The Love That Forgives,” members of the KKK set off explosives that killed four little girls: Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson and Denise McNair.

In honor of their memory, we ask that you pledge to register 16 new voters on Sunday, September 16.

What an empowering day.

Yesterday tens of thousands of people rallied at our Stand for Freedom mobilization in New York City to stand up against the forces trying block the right to vote for millions.

It was a powerful way to kick off our campaign to protect our right to vote.

At the rally, I spoke before a massive crowd of people ready to stand up and fight for their rights as American citizens. Take a minute now to watch this video of the event.

Happy Women's Rights Day!

 

This August 26 celebrates women winning 

the vote in the U.S. 91 years ago. Today Radical Women honors the
suffrage movement and its militant, multiracial fighters. These
women--Sojourner Truth, Clara Lemlich, Francis Ellen Watkins Harper,
Sarah Grimke, and so many more--rebelled against enforced second-class
status to organize courageously for equal rights. We will be forever grateful
for their work.

Gaining access to the ballot did not eliminate oppression, however.
