  Many of us breathe a sigh of relief at Obama's victory. It's a
temporary win for the forces of unity and diversity, and a blow to the
ideologies of class-ism and racism.

Even with this triumph, however, it's not surprising that 48% of
Americans saw fit to vote for Romney, who rode a wave of anti-black,
anti-female, ant-aged, anti-gay, etc. negativity.

The irony is that he - himself - is more of a smiling classist than an
overt racist; but like a chameleon, he shucked a

Critical Notes on Obama Drama: 2008-2012

What is more impressive: to become a head of state having come from a long line of the aristocratic and well-off (Romney), or to become a head of state having come from a long line of those who were considered nothing but slaves (Obama)? Congratulations to President Obama on his re-election! Unfortunately what many Black People do not know is that this is not the first time Africans have become heads of state having come from a long lineage of those considered slaves. In 10th century Yemen the e

Much of the rating of Nile River Cruisers comes from the size of their cabins, and most average mainline tourist boats have relatively small cabins compared to hotels. In fact, most average cruisers have rooms no larger than enough to hold one or two beds, a night stand and a dresser, along with a small private bath. Rarely is there enough room for a table and chairs, as one finds in most hotel rooms. Of course, people are really not expected to spend too much time locked away in their cabin, a

JACKSON October 29, 2012
When former Secretary of State Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama for president, Romney campaign chair John Sununu dismissed it as just a black man standing up for one of his tribe.
That racial gibe fits a campaign with a yawning racial divide: Obama is struggling among white working-class men, while Romney has essentially abandoned any effort to win the votes of African Americans and Latinos.
Someone should talk to the skilled, largely white, workers at Sensata Technolo

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:

Two Poems for the People of Syria

Oh, Mohja
how much water can run from rivers to sea
how much blood can soak the earth
the guns of tyrants know no end
a people awakened are bigger than bullets
there is no sleep in their eyes
no more stunted backs and fear of broken limbs
even men, women and children are humble with sacrifice
the old the young play their roles
with smiles they endure torture chambers
with laughs they submit to rape and mutilations
there is no victory for oppressors
whose days are numbered
