Originally, I wasn’t going to write about radio talk show entertainer Glen Beck’s supposed “March on Washington;” but, because you, my readers, asked me to comment, I will.
The event was called, “Restoring Honor.” Its stated purpose was to be a “celebration of America’s heroes and heritage. So, I have a few questions that I wish Beck would have addressed. You can only restore that which was lost. So, what in Beck’s mind was lost and how is he going to restore it?
The Ministry of Foreign Relations says that the increase in drug trafficking in the DR is the result of demand for drugs from the United States. Foreign Relations Minister Carlos Morales Troncoso was reacting to a statement by the US Embassy charge d'affaires Christopher Lambert who recently commented on the participation of drug trafficking in the Dominican economy.
Morales said that if there is an increase in drug trafficking here it is because of the large demand for drugs in the US, as report
NEW BOOK "I HOPE HE FAILS" THEORIZES THAT THE ELECTION OF PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS SERVED AS A CATHARSIS FOR THE RESURGENCE OF RACISM AND HATE GROUPS
-- In "I Hope He Fails" the author theorizes that the election of Barack Obama as the first African American President of the United States of America has served as a catharsis for the resurgence of racism and hate groups in America and that these two entities are being fueled by the rightwing media.Courageously taking on the biggest names in conservati

I was honored to be asked to be the moderator for the Maryland Black Mayors, Inc. (MBM), county executive forum for Prince George’s County, MD (see picture above). Prince George’s County is the wealthiest predominately Black county in the United States. It is considered a suburb of Washington, DC.
They represent over 700,000 citizens and manages approximately $ 2.2 billions annually. They are a 501 (c) 3 organization with the goal of promoting efficient and responsiv
Did you know that every three minutes, another woman in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer? Ididn't, and I was shocked to learn how prevalent this horrible disease has
become in this country. So shocked, in fact, that I've committed to doing
something about it, and I'm writing to ask for your help.
On October 16-17, I'll spend the weekend walking, along with thousands of other people, in the Avon Walk forBreast Cancer. I will walk at least the distance of a marathon (26.2 miles)

The date is August 28th 2010, and Glenn Beck stands before a crowd of 100,000 fellow Conservatives holding the severed head of a Martin Luther King Jr statue like a victorious Roman gladiator. With Sarah Palin by his side, he, triumphantly, yells, "free at last; free at last," as the civil rights leaders can only weep from afar...
There is an old saying that if you love something, set it free and if it doesn't come back it was never yours to begin with; so it is with Glenn Beck a

It is with deep sadness that I watch many wrap themselves in either the American flag or Christian Political Correctness in their attempts to deny Moslem Americans a basic right that we all cherish. I must admit that I am a bit ashamed at my Christian brothers and sisters who would act so callously to defame, ridicule, and reject another’s religious freedoms. As an American Christian –I hold such freedom more than mere words, but hard fought, blood bought, and time honored rig
I think in order to discuss Wole Soyinka’s speech, (whether I am really qualified andintellectual enough to do this is another question, but I will trynevertheless) as above, it is necessary to understand what Cultural Relativismimplies.

I am amazed that the controversy surrounding the proposed Muslim mosque and community center in New York City at ground zero is still going strong. America has turned into a country where if you don’t agree with someone, you are painted as a bad person. This is exactly what is going on in New York City.
Those who oppose the project have lost the legal battle, but now they are attempting to turn it into a political battle. I find those in opposition full of hypocrisy,

Even though not all black Americans refer to themselves as the pejorative n-word, an alarming proportion of the Black community uses and/or supports use of the term. For instance, ministers invoke the word from their pulpits, and the NAACP, with the wink of the eye, looks the other way when prominent blacks publicly embrace the word. Many black college professors support their students' use of the word. Minister Louis Farrakhan has glowingly utilized the word in some of his
