In light of the huge controversy over the natural hair texture, Mississippians Against Racism wanted to tell the exceptional 16 year old, 90 pound, Olympic Gold Medalist, Gabrielle Douglas, that the weight of our race is not on her shoulders. Such is the responsibility of Adults and institutions. In addition, we wanted her to know that we fully understand why her natural hair showed itself during her performance and we happy she was nappy, beautiful like God made her.

Activist and author, Dorothy Pitman-Hughes certainly nailed it with her recently completed book, “I'm Just Saying, It Looks Like Ethnic Cleansing,” when she pointed out the concerted effort on the part of the so-called powers-that-be to thwart the development and ownership of Black businesses in Harlem; and the risi

~ Little Sister Gabby Douglass Makes History Winning the Gold in Gymnastics at the Summer Olympics in London, England - yaaaaay!

Everybody loves her for her grace, poise, stamina and agility - yaaaaay!

American Negroes only see her hair style, and so, completely miss the point-boooooo!

This my response to an article that recently appeared on Grio about Gabby's shock at people criticizing her hair, and her statement: "I just made history and all they can talk about is my hair

The 90s fashion revival is upon us -- well, kind of. Our wardrobes have long been influenced by eras past, Menn Nike Lunar so it was inevitable that we look to the 10 years of loose cuts and muted colors, for inspiration two decades after the fact. No, our pants will never be as baggy as they were in 1992, and we not suggesting you sport a Joey Lawrence-inspired hooded jean vest.

Jazz and Blackness

Sunday evening we attended an onstage conversation between poet Amiri Baraka and bassist Reggie Workman at Oakland's Eastside Arts Center. Actually it wasn't onstage but the esteemed gentlemen were part of the circle of artists, intellectuals and community people who turned out for the event.

Since I declined to speak at the event, I am posting my comments now. Since the age of fourteen or fifteen, I have listened to jazz. Of course I heard it growing up, especially my family moved from Fresno to

You're introduced to the illegal hustle
by a demon who don't trust you
just pimpin you
ready to bust some lead in your temple
If you don't follow out the commands of initiation
Do you know where your going to?
In this dark situation?

Don't let the external burn you
it's just an illusion
no body gets out
