Now, I’ve never been accused of being the angry, black women or the angry, black person in general. That label just wouldn’t stick to someone who smiles all the time, is known for her positive disposition and is a diplomat at heart.
But I do KNOW and have witnessed reaction to an angry black person. It seems that when a black [...]

So it’s Joe Biden.
The ’scrappy kid from Scranton‘ is finally a heartbeat away from the presidency. Congratulations are definitely in order, the scrappy kid certainly isn’t scrappy anymore..lol.
Now, while I like Joe Biden as a person and as a politician (he’s certainly more honest and funnier than most remember a noun, a verb and 911..i’m still laughing at that [...]

So, the wait could finally be over, Obama according to news sources is finally ready to announce his choice for VP.
I am on the edge of my seat. We could know THIS WEEK, the other half of an Obama presidency. This man or woman (probably not) would be part of a historic campaign and an even [...]

Kwame Kilpatrick the scandal plagued and proned Mayor of Detroit should resign immediately.
He has not only disrespected himself and his family by his actions but he has shown no respect for the office of Mayor or for the people of Detroit ( by using city money to cover up his affair and then crying racism when the [...]

While he might not receive a big hug at the very least he gets a fist bump for showing up and talking to NAACP leaders, ( President Bush only showed up once in the past eight years) and activists at the annual NAACP convention in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Now, I don’t think this appearance was all about the black vote. 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

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?
How many of us know of a woman who would put us in our place in a minute if we got out of line? And that includes your mom, would you tell HER to shut up? [...]

And apparently these comments will be aired tonight exclusively on FOX News since Jackson made the comments while conducting an interview at FOX News.
Jackson made the disparaging comments about Obama in response to a question about recent Obama speeches on morality.
I have no doubt that Rev. Jackson supports Obama ‘on the surface’ at least but if your friends say [...]
