Election Day 2009

Am I the only one who forgot to vote today? I left out the house and wasn’t reminded to vote until I went through the turnstile. Unlike last year, there wasn’t much advertising done in the neighborhood. After turning on the TV for the weather, you would think that someone would have mentioned something about [...]

The Road to Obama, Part 2

The road to Obama was paved with a spiritual awakening – the realization that we as humans aren’t alone in this world. I’m not trying to get all preachy, but on this leg of my vacation, spirits moved and protected us from harm and the dangers that two women could face alone on the highway side.

The Road to Obama, Part 1

Thigh muscles aching the day after — the joy shines from within. When people ask where I was on the 20th, the magnitude of my answer seems to shock people. . . I was proudly one of millions that was propelled to Washington not just to witness history in the making, but to bask in the goodness [...]

The Big O

The Big O (Freedom song) The day after Like any other moment of drawing together Riding through to the perfect sigh The enriching pain and pleasure Of recognition is at hand. No longer will I hide My beauty My spirit My power The style that lives on the darker side Walking though humble Afraid to [...]

Colorful Voting, Exercise Your Right

Something of concern is creeping into my head. Now I know that I’m not above knowing that I am black. I won’t even sit around and think that people don’t notice my race first. But I have to ask this question: Why do people keep saying that Barack Obama is “seeking to become the first [...]

Please Vote 2008

You have to fight for your right to party vote. One day away from Election Day and I find myself worried that I won’t be able to vote. Not because I am not registered. It is more of a concern because my name is spelled wrong on the books. It has been spelled wrong for [...]

The Other Side of Politics

Honestly, I didn’t know what to call this post. All I can say is this: I couldn’t help but notice the ad on a site I was visiting today. I didn’t click on the link itself. However, the ad caught my attention so I had to post it here. Look at the faces of the [...]

Wordless Wednesday: Republican National Convention 2004

When the RNC rolled into in NYC in 2004 New Yorkers were not happy. The police were on hand to get at the people and put them in line. Click on the title above for a view.

What A Weekend Brings…

Because I have nothing else to blog about… I’m going to tell you very little about my weekend… Have you ever watched someone do something so incredible that you wanted to do it too? This past weekend me and an associate were watching a dance performance. Some dude looking over our shoulder was watching it [...]

Shades of Brown, Shades of Racism

One of my colleagues walked up on me the other day to seek my opinion on a matter, which has been disturbing him. He told me that he felt discriminated against because of the color of his skin. Actually, it wasn’t just the color of his skin that was the problem but his specific shade [...]

Is It Racism?

I received an e-mail this morning. The subject read: is it just me but does this 1st sentence read racism… I’m not sure if its just her or not but I didn’t read into it as being racist. Here is the article: Paterson once again defies conventional wisdom   Elana Schor in Washington guardian.co.uk, Thursday [...]

Spitzer & The New Sins: What I Learned Today!

When I woke up this morning I learned two things. One, Elliot Spitzer paid a woman $4,300 for some ass. Two, the Vatican has added more sins to the list of deadly sins. I’ve read, watched, and heard all I need to hear about Elliot Spitzer and realize that he is a bone head. How [...]
