Now, faced with the potential for massive civilian de

The year is 1991, alarmed by the raising level of negativity in Hip Hop, activists and artists from across the country gathered for a major Hip Hop Summit. One by one speakers stepped to the podium and pledged themselves to fight in the war to "save Hip Hop." Never again would they allow corporations to destroy their culture. Never again!
The year is 2011, alarmed by the rising level of negativity in Hip Hop....

If you haven’t considered an all inclusive holiday, yet alone tried one, then this type of holiday is most definitely worth serious consideration when looking at your annual Summer holiday.
To start with, the major benefits of an all inclusive holiday is the price. Prices on these holidays are hugely competitive when compared against the traditional travel packages holidays, whether they are self-catering or full board. In many instances the cost for a week’s all inclusive holiday can be little m

Last year I wrote a column about how President Obama totally disrespected Black America (during Black History Month of all times) and there was no outcry from within our community. You can read that column at:
