I would like to request all Barbadian and Caribbean people to make it
a point of duty to deliver a simple verbal message to any citizen of
the United States of America (USA) that they come into contact with.
And the message is as follows:-

“You are simply a human being ---- no different from and no greater

Over the years, I have had this conversation with people from the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Ollie North, Mike Huckabee and Haley Barbour, etc. They would argue that there was this growing trend of “conservatism” within the Black community.  I told them all categorically that this was bull.

Blacks have always been conservative or, more accurately, traditionalists.  This DNA was embedded in us f

Ever since last night I've been listening to "Too Much" over, over, and over again... And it seems to get better every time.

First, let’s start with one major way in which children are allowed to be harmed with a chemical c

Think about your son or, or if you’re younger and sans kids – your brother. Did it ever occur to you that your child (brother) is held responsible or labeled because of his race?
