Hello Afghanistan

As a proud citizen of the greatest nation on the planet, I truly believe we can be greater. When I see the discrimination that’s being used against women and people of color I can’t help but think of the greatness that goes untapped. Considering women and people of color make up the majority of Americans, it’s easy to see the genius, energy, creativity, imagination and skill that are going untapped.

The Real Joe Wilson

During President Barack Obama's September 9 th , 2009 address to the joint session of Congress he outlined various elements of his health care reform.

Message To My People

Bill Cosby seems to be the only prominent black person that's talking to us about what we need to do for ourselves, instead of at us about what others are doing to us. And we have criticized him for it. There's no doubt that racism is alive and well in America however our problems are also within. When a black person is shot or stabbed, nine times out of ten, they were shot or stabbed by one of us. When one of us buys crack... (posted by Kenneth 3 years 28 days ago.)
