Washington, DC - Commenting on President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address tonight, members of the Project 21 black leadership network saw a presidency lacking new ideas that suggested Obama may be “running out the clock” on his presidency without much vision but with plenty of continued class warfare and big government rhetoric.
“President Obama really did not offer anything new in his address to Congress. All he did was present the American people with the same old clunker policies spra

To lose a child under any circumstances is heart-wrenching for any parent. This is especially true when it is done by a representative of government. When the police kill, particularly a child, more specifically a man-child of color, it raises many questions about justification. As the rash of such police killings has created a national debate, it is important to recognize law enforcement in America has evolved into a militarized institution. Like many American institutions, it has been awarded

by Ajamu Baraka / January 14th, 2015 ~“…Je Suis Charlie has become a sound bite to justify the erasure of non-Europeans, and for ignoring the sentiments, values and views of the racialized “other.” In short, Je Suis Charlie has become an arrogant rallying cry for white supremacy that was echoed at the white power march on Sunday in Paris and in the popularity of the new issue of Charlie Hebdo.” ( Ajamu Baraka )

Last week’s shocking headline that Boko Haram “may have killed 2000 people,” in Nigeria, was eclipsed by wall-to-wall coverage of the armed attack in France that left 20 people dead.

I am a bit lost, in fact more than lost. I am aghast at the inanity and lack of decorum being spread around by the supposedly “educated” Nigerians, just because of political opportunism and expediency. Do we have a problem with "academic certificates", especially of our leaders and political aspirants?
Why do we always elude the Truth and Honesty in all we do? Why is it difficult for us to tell and accept at the Truth as a people? We see the Truth/Fact right in our face, yet we turn away our eyes
It’s the start that stops most of us
resolutions are dropped
as glasses are raised

most mean well
most can hardly tell
why most mostly fail

and more time to our night-time love nest
love less needless drama
and give more love to our baby’s mama
We resolve to lose those extra pounds

Welcome to Our World Mayor DeBlasio
New York Mayor DeBlasio has a black wife. He has a black son. Now, the New York Police Department (NYPD) has all but declared him an honorary black. Welcome to our world Mayor DeBlasio. The police obviously want to continue the harassment and killing of innocent unarmed blacks. It is apparent they are trying to drum up white support and thus weaken the popular mayor politically. They have attacked him by turning their backs on him at the funeral of one of the
By Verla Wiley: Like Michael Brown and Eric Garner, I am African American. The circumstances involving the deaths of these two young men are horrendous as are the unconscionable efforts made to avoid a proper hearing in each case. Unfortunately, Brown and Garner made the ultimate sacrifice in a system that is deeply flawed. Instead of utilizing the more open and transparent public preliminary hearing process, secret grand juries failed to indict the police officer responsible for the shooting de
