Black Like He: Will Obama Change Hip Hop? by Paul Scott Hate it or love it, the one good thing that can be said about commercialized Hip Hop of the thuggish variety (gangsta rap) is its resilience. The day after a nuclear holocaust, the only things that will be left on the planet will be roaches, Spam and Snoop Dog. Since its "official" coming out party in the form of NWA's "Straight Outta Compton, a generation ago, the longevity of lyrics spoutin' tales of drug slangin, gang bangin' and bli

Under the Reign of the First Black President, Will America Lose Another Generation of Black Males?

Posted by TheBlackList on January 9, 2009 at 8:17pm

By Phillip Jackson The previous generation of young Black males was destroyed between 1985 and 2005. No amount of crying, cursing or hand-wringing can change this because that generation is gone! We need only walk down any city street in almost any predominantly African American community to see residue of the broken lives -- millions of young Black men nationwide. Few people spoke out effectively and even fewer engaged in actions to prevent this silent genocide. The mass destruction of Black

What Can Black America Learn from Communist China?Build Businesses and ProsperBy Robert N. TaylorWhen it comes to China, the numbers are truly astounding. The Asian giant has the fastest growing economy in the world - averaging roughly 10 percent growth per year for the past 25 years.
