According to Ralph Nader, consumer advocate and presidential candidate (and yes he’s running this time too..lol) thinks that Obama is talking white in order to appease or appeal to ‘white guilt’ (sic)..
You know I find this whole phenomenon of ‘talking white’ so hilarious that one, I can’t believe I’m even writing about it and two, I can’t [...]

If they want to win back the White House come November.
Apparently Obama during a meeting with the Black Congressional Caucus made this statement in reference to the ‘healing’ that still needs to be done by many Clinton supporters,
I need to make a decision in the next few months as to how I manage that since I’m [...]

Here’s why..
How many of us have attractive, intelligent, out-spoken, confident women in our family? I bet you can name at least a couple would you CHANGE her/them?

This past Sunday at a black church in Chicago Barack Obama talked about the epidemic that has infected and continues to spread throughout the black community-absentee fathers.
I applaud him for having the guts to talk about this issue, at a black church, to a black audience on Father’s Day and I seriously hope he continues to talk about it every [...]

For all of you who watch MSNBC you know her she’s a regular MSNBC analyst but before that sweet guest spot she had been hosting and continues to host a regular show on Air America Radio.
Anyway, I [...]

So Imus has made another stupid remark that he claims wasn’t really stupid but actually sarcastic.
And that he was actually making a comment on the racial profiling of black athletes.
First of all if you believe that I’m pretty sure you must believe in the tooth fairy and the Easter Bunny as well right? LOL
