Posted by BF Bankie on February 9, 2009 at 7:44pm

Steve Paterno:February 5, 2009 — Once again the African Union (AU) has proven to be moving in the wrong direction from the principles it ought to adhere.

Vantage Point Articles and Essays by Dr. Ron Daniels Making the American Flag “Our Flag” February 9, 2009 On Inauguration Day in Washington, D.C., there was a veritable sea of Red, White and Blue as some two million proud Americans, including hundreds of thousands of Black people, furiously waved their American Flags on the National Mall.

Paul Scott: I once asked my homie, spoken word artist, James Washington how it is that a thugged out brotha like him gets invited to speak at churches all the time and a (relatively speaking) clean cut brother, like me, can't even make it past the front door ?

I am not sure if Nigerians all over the world were surprised or not by this recent news item published in many newspapers and internet sources on Wednesday, 4th February 2009, that Nigeria’s former dictator, General Ibrahim Babangida, has publicly foreclosed a possibility of his return to rule the country. Babangida made the disclosure during an interview on a satellite television programme, Moments With Mo, mainly citing his age as the reason “I am not gett

Philip Emeagwali: Oil has made us billions and fuelled our economic stability, but oil has also become the bane of our existence. For some, it is a curse that has caused poverty and corruption, but for others it is an essential source of untold wealth and power. But as the gap between rich and poor countries continues to expand, it is clear that intellectual capital and technology rule the world, and that natural resources such as oil, gold, and diamonds are no longer the primary determinants o

In reading some of my previous columns, I ran across this particular one from January, 2005. I was quite stunned at the provocative words I wrote more than 3 years ago about many of the issues relative to our community. Of all the columns I have written over the years, this is by far my favorite one. As you read this, please keep in mind that it was 2005, Bush was president, Bill Cosby was being attacked, and the radical left Blacks (Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Julian Bond) were excoriating
