The Manhood Line by Mike Ramey

MEMO: THE RAMEY RULEBY MIKE RAMEYI wanted to give a solid ‘shout out’ to those warriors who have volunteered to contend with young men on a regular basis about their sagging pants. Of course, I am still amazed of the longevity of this rather ‘brief’ matter--but I digress!I’ve seen some rather interesting battles and discussions between adults and teens about the need for keep pants pulled up to regulation level. I’ve heard of adults shouting at teens, and teens shouting back at adults over ‘my r

HARD TO THE CORE - BITTER TO THE END

I am going to dispense with creative formality and get down to it. President Obama in his State of the Union Address announces that he is poised to open up the flood gates of jobs, wealth, opportunity and prosperity using money the federal government seized from their banks and from money the banks are paying in fees to the Government. President Obama also confirms he will enforce his will with veto if necessary.For the European players and the Spanish players President Obama's declaration and c

Toward the Language of Love

Toward the Language of LoveIn the 60s and 70s, we wanted to transcend the English language because we recognized it as the slave master's tongue, the tongue of the true "motherfucker" who had kidnapped, raped and robbed our ancestors, the men, women and children. In our frantic and desperate effort to rid ourselves of English, we tried Swahili and Arabic, and this functioned for a short time, even though these languages originated from another slave master, the Arab, yet much of our literature w

Jobs for Terrorists Abroad, None for the Hood

Jobs for Terrorists Abroad, None for the HoodAmerican, Afghan and NATO leaders are also preparing to start an ambitious program to convince rank-and-file Taliban fighters to give up in exchange for schooling and jobs. That plan, expected to cost hundreds of millions of dollars, will be the focus of an international conference later this week in London. The plan aims at the bottom of the Taliban hierarchy — the foot soldiers who are widely perceived as mostly poor, illiterate, and susceptible to

Obama Drama, A One Act Play

Obama Drama, A One Act PlayUnless our first black president makes a radical policy shift in his State of the Union speech, we expect he shall retire or be retired after his first four year term. We understand Hillary Clinton has informed Tavis Smiley she will not serve a second term as Secretary of State, probably so she can resume her run for president since she was so rudely interrupted by Obama.What is clear is that our president doesn't seem to get it, especially with respect to the least of

Beyond Gang Violence, toward Political Power

Beyond Gang Violence, toward Political PowerGang violence is a senseless endeavor leading nowhere except more community trauma and suffering. It is the act of desperate men and women who cannot envision a way out of social oppression, but such oppression cannot end until the oppressed alter their mental state of stinking thinking.We cried about how dumb President George Bush was, but dummy George wrote a three page letter and obtained nearly a trillion dollars--think about it, a three page lette

Runoko Rashidi: We still have in our midst a great pillar standing. He, (Dr. Ben) has written numerous books that have enlightened the minds of many, including white folks. He pioneered the first group tours to Egypt long before many of us were born and when it was unpopular in the black community to want anything to do with “going back to Africa”. 99% of Dr. Ben’s research and analysis, and preaching and teaching to anyone who would listen, was grossly underpaid and while in his younger years

I am the river

It does not matter where or when I enter the flow, I am inseparable from the flow.
It does not matter whether I enter as a drop, a flop or as a might torrent; I am inseparable from the flow.
A drop, a flop, a mighty torrent, a minute or days gone by; I am the flow, the stream the river, and I am indistinguishable and inseparable.
I am and I am not in this drop or that bucketful.
What would the river be without me a drop?
One less drop, you’ll never know…
Once I was a drop, I may have flopped and
