If Obama was a busboy, Trump and the Republican Party would not have hated him. But, Obama, did not “know his place”. The nerve of him, running for and winning  President of the United States! Some of America was justifiably proud of this historic accomplishment. But another side of America was seething with anger, rage  and resentment. The Republican Party plugged into this hatred  and brought the government to gridlock in fighting Obama’s every move except of course warmongering.  To generate

Reading powers imagination and imagination deepens creativity, and together the world of possibilities opens up especially for our children. Daily, young people are bombarded with negative images, limiting opportunities and behaviors that create regression instead of progression. The need to redirect negative energy, to eliminate self-hate, and to increase opportunities for healthy expression as well as to increase literacy is the motivating force for the Kuumba Family Institute, Inc.

First, I do not hate White people. I do view with disdain their collective actions/oppression of African Americans in the past. I also am strongly opposed to the beliefs of the KKK, Neo-Nazis, Fascists, and other groups that align with them. But, this essay is not about that, not exactly. Racism and bigotry are part of the American fabric. They have been around and have thrived since the beginnings of this country starting with the massacre of Native Americans. Globally, they have even earlier r

Black As a Mug is the dopest (I say dope, a lot) thing I have seen all year. Yeah, we have mugs with catchy statements that wash off after you've forgotten they are not dishwasher friendly, but nothing quite compares to drinking rich Colombian coffee out President Obama's dome! That's sure to piss off someone at the staff meeting that could have been an email and earn a head-nod from your only Black co-worker from down the hall. I am already putting in my bid for an Assta Shakur mug! Read more..

President Nana Akufo-Addo

Ghana’s new president, Nana Dankwa Akufo-Addo, is, undoubtedly, one of the most resilient politician in the land. There is also no question that he was among the most qualified to ever sought the high office. The determination of this scion of one of Ghana’s most illustrious families, son of a former president, was also never in doubt, as he doggedly sought the presidency three times before he won in last December elections.

The 72-year president, a very astute and exper
