The Great Conspiracy is a short letter to the Afrikan child in a parabolic tone. It is a poetic riddle and in sum proverb. Is there remedy to the Afrikan problem? Can the Afrikan equation be solved? For a half a century since flag independence knocked on the Afrikan hut, the Afrikan political elite and comrade in cola have not been watching the Afrikan grass grow; instead as leaders upon whose shoulders, salvation of the Afrikan child from colonial pharaoh's slavery; read colonial culture, tradi

Of the 30 teams in all of Baseball, the Atlanta Braves are now 1 of 4 teams with an all African-American outfield.

That list includes the Detroit Tigers, Philadelphia Phillies (based on projected starters), and the Los Angeles Dodgers <---not sure what Ethier is but he get's a pass?

Of those other teams, in their cities, there was ZERO negative banter about trading whomever to make the All African American club happen; probably because it didn't mean a thing to THAT city. It was just talent.

He wants more government spending, more programs, and more government regulations. Ted Kennedy, the late senator from Massachusetts, would be very proud of Obama’s continued lurch to the left.

The one thing that stood out with me from his speech was his wanting to increase the federal minimu

Nearly four years after the official end of the Great Recession, African-American older workers continue to confront a difficult job picture across the country.

Federal unemployment statistics for January show that African-American workers between 45 and 74 had an unemployment rate of 9.9 percent, compared with 6.1 percent for whites of the same age. For African-American workers of all ages, the jobless rate for January was a whopping 13.8 percent, compared with an overall rate of 7.9 percent.
