~ Just imagine someone in your family travelling half way across the country to help a family they don’t know nor have any connection to; while at the same time his own family is in crisis. Just imagine how you would feel if your family barely had food to eat, but yet your father goes across town and gives some of your food to a family that he doesn’t even know.
I am sure in both cases the family would feel betrayed and a bit confused; and outsiders would sure

Chicago is in a state of emergency. Lives are being lost. Fear is growing. Local officials, ministers and community activists are working diligently but cannot break the cycle. We’re seeing more than one funeral a day. Our children are traumatized. Many are afraid to go to school.
In this crisis, we need the president’s leadership. President Obama can provide the knowledge, vision and inspiration to bring us together to address the crisis. He can speak to the children to cal

CALL ON ME…

On January 21, 2013, Hadiya Pendleton performed at President Obama’s Inauguration and on Tuesday, January 29, 2013, she was killed by gun fire while hanging out with friends at a park in Chicago, IL USA. This story truly saddens me. Any unnecessary loss of life is a sad occasion. I have been proposing a solutions to gun violence to political leaders, including The White House, yet they seem hell bent on playing political games with the National Rifle Association (NRA).

ASPIRING AUTHOR MAKES FINANCIAL FREEDOM AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE
• The month of February is the time when most people receive a "kickback" from the government. It is also a time, when those same people go "spending crazy". Tax return season brings happiness for most and quickly brings heartache in the end. This common cycle inspired Nicholas L. Maze, the author of EXIT, to reduce the price of his "Financial Bible" for eBook readers. To help prevent the heartache that comes along with tax return se

By Susan EatonFifth-grader Alyx has trouble naming the "absolute coolest" thing about Wilson Focus School, part of an innovative educational model called the Learning Community that provides students opportunities to attend diverse schools in highly segregated areas.
Alyx says it’s not just the snakes and other reptiles, not just the "totally amazing and beautiful" Australian blue-tongued skink caged in her classroom. It’s not just her teacher, Mr. Mitchell, "who is so great, who is the best." A
Rudolph Lewis on the Crisis of the Pan African Intellectual
We must admit honestly Pan Africans do not have a military to counter Europe, USA and or China. Or even a rag-tag army of jihadists. We only have words of caution and awareness of the dangers of foreign powers on the African continent, whether they are Christian or Muslims. Pan Africans are talkers, theorists, not men of action (military soldiers). . . .
The situation shows also the weakness of African states and of the African Union. .

Four years ago, President Obama made history by becoming the first Black president in the history of the U.S. I would like to think that even those who did not support his candidacy were proud of what the American people demonstrated—that anything is possible within our system of government.

Obama was by far a much better candidate than John McCain and
The Enemy of Self

The most danger facing the Black man is himself, after which come his brother and his woman, then the white man. If he can become disciplined enough to out maneuver these forces, he shall see a brighter day, but most often he gets trapped in one of these black holes and find himself sinking i
Crisis of the Pan African Intellectual
And what can the Diaspora do to stop the military campaigns for the mineral riches of Africa? Do we have drones, nukes, what? Can we tell African heads of state who are now in league with the Euro-Americans not to join the West in its supposed role of stopping the Islamic revolution? Perhaps we should make clear that the Arab Islamists, including the African Arab
