Someone has to raise the issues that are hurting Black African American people. We lack leadership at every level of our society, including politics. I'm not interested in leadership that wants to fight or do battle. I want them to solve problems. I will not lower my standards to be a sideline cheerleader every two or four years, who need to be motivate to vote. I'm engaged and demand accountability, transparency and solutions at every level. However, a few of us, who are concerned about our peo

I’m sitting here and wondering about my child.  Where is he?  Has he eaten?  Is he drunk?  Is he clean?  Does he have a decent bed?  All these thoughts and more are roaming through my mind and running rampant and long, sprinter and marathoner combined.  I can’t believe we, his step-father and I, his sister, his brother.  None of us can reach him because he desperately wants a name other than the one I gave him on the day of his birth.  He wants the cars, a beautiful woman, wealth, and most impor

[Read carefully and see and understand how this article justifies the reasons why descendants of Slaves are due REPARATIONS. 100 million Blacks stolen out of Africa, and this US Congress chooses to sweep our history and their guilt under the rug.

By opening the door for corporations to spend unlimited sums in elections and to allow for the creation of super PACs, the Supreme Court has made a campaign finance system that was already flooded with money much worse."

  ~ I can’t say that I’m against the death penalty.  I only know that I love my children so much that I feel that the person who should become so wrapped up in evil and carry out the act of ultimate theft, murder, should be called upon to surrender his ghost, after a trial, on a specific date, at a specific time.  May Allah the Merciful forgive me if I’m wrong.

Cairo is a vibrant, exhilarating, exotic, fascinating and welcoming city. Home to the best Pharaonic, Coptic and Islamic sights in Egypt, this city is where you never know what incredible, half-forgotten monument you might stumble across while wandering around. There are also plenty of cinemas, theatres and modern malls. Go for an opera or enjoy oriental music dance shows. Good for short breaks and long stays; you’ll get to see the Giza Pyramids, thousands of ancient artifacts in the Egyptian Mu

Sailing the Nile along the lush Nile Valley surrounded by golden dunes and sightseeing Ancient Egyptian monuments such as Kom Ombo and Abu Simbel is tourism at its best. Wake to the soft light of the morning sun, take in the heat and cool off in the pool on the deck of a cruiser; watch fishermen cast their nets, farmers take to their fields, a flight of birds, and water buffalos staring back at you. Book a Nile cruise and you just might unravel another layer of the mystery that is Ancient Egypt.

  I'm writing this in the wake of the murder of Chicago rapper, Joseph Coleman aka Lil Jo Jo. I'm not going to go into the details of his murder, nor the circumstances surrounding it too much. I will say that there is an important intersection between youth (gang related) violence and the hyper-masculine values set that contemporary rap music underscores.
