  Mayor Bloomberg Pays Parents To Care for Their Kids

  03.30.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  It isn’t enough to have children and want to see them make a difference in the world, keep your family name going or push them to do better than you’ve done in life, out of love of self and love for your child. No, it isn’t that simple anymore (was it ever?).
  Mayor Bloomberg has proposed [...]

  After this past weekend’s High School Championship at The Garden the NYC Department of Education is thinking of not having games at night. Taking it one step further, Bloomberg has also suggested that all High School Championship games occur without an audience (19 of the 21 people arrested were not from either high school that was playing).

  Sean Bell vs. The City of New York

  03.20.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  It isn’t the Black People vs. White People its more like Black vs. Blue. It isn’t Al Sharpton vs. NYPD but the Black Community/Human Rights vs. The City of New York/America.
  In a never ending battle for justice in the streets of the city we find ourselves as targets in the streets we use to travel [...]

  Mayor Bloomberg MIA: NYC Pissed Off

  03.17.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  While a Bronx blaze took the lives of nine people, eight of which were children, Mayor Bloomberg found himself in the warm climate of Miami. Did this sit well with New Yorkers who find it hard to believe that its own Mayor wouldn’t be on site lending his support, grief, and sympathy for the lives [...]

  When Mary Jane can save a life the Government Doesn’t Car

  03.15.07 | Permalink | Comment?

   

  On Wednesday a Federal Court sentenced a woman to death, at least they might as well have. 
  According to the Federal Government if marijuana can save a life it doesn’t matter. Angel Raich, who suffers from a brain tumor, scoliosis and chronic nausea has been using weed to get her through her ailments. But the Feds [...]

  Daylight Savings Time: Earlier Than Usual and Just as Annoying

  03.10.07 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  Why is the IT Department frantically updating all the PC’s in the office? Why is my supervisor worried about his meetings on his calendar? Why are banks acting funny with my money (oh… that’s personal and will not be answered here)?  Why is everyone acting like Y2K is happening all over again?
  An idea struck me like ton [...]

  Justice Dept: FBI misused Patriot Act

  03.09.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  What we feared most when the Patriot Act was introduced by Mr. Bush has come to light. The government, with all its power, has over extended its usage of the Act which was designed (their words, not mine) to protect the country has actually been used in ways to that are beyond its original scope.
  We [...]

  A kinder, gentler Farrakhan: ‘I’ve evolved’

  03.09.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  Â
  CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) — When I sat down with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, I was surprised by what I found: a softer, more conciliatory Farrakhan — a man who says his battle with cancer has changed him in ways he’d never imagined.
  He says he now wants to work together with all people [...]

  03.03.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  When did it become the in thing to start calling each other Nigger - n*gga or any other interpretation of the word? Yo my n*gga? Holla back n*gga. When did this word become as common as hello or goodbye? Does this mean that as a society we have lost all of our sense of self? [...]

  Year of the Black Man

  02.01.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  In honor of Black History Month we also have the year of all years: The Year of The Black Man. Yes folks, we get a whole year now. I think Black folks deserve it after getting the shortest month of the year with the most holidays.
  But the real question is why is it the year [...]

  Election Day 2006

  11.07.06 | Permalink | Comment?

  Election Day is finally here. I haven’t had a chance to vote just yet. After work is the best time to go. The good news is I won’t have to wait online. The bad news is there will be more election workers than voters. The people in my community don’t vote as they should. Two important [...]
