  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

  • Punching Above Our Weight
    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

  • Living in a Black No-Man's Land
    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that. Finally I...

BLACK BLOGTALK RADIO AND WACP INTERNET TV - GROWING STRONG IN THE SHADOWS

BLACK BLOGTALK RADIO AND WACP INTERNET TV - GROWING STRONG IN THE SHADOWS

Everywhere in the world there is some sort of struggle taking place and everyday bring with it a different number but no where is the casualty rate from bad news higher than in the black communities across this great land but amidst the tragedy of home foreclosures, unemployment, destitution, crime and bad news there-in exist a legion of hard-core African Americans that I call blogtalk radio and Internet TV freedom fighters and diehards.

These blogtalk radio and Internet TV freedom fighters are not the African American that will surrender to crime, ignorance or bad news nor will they stand idly by and let the 21st century roll us up like sleeping bags.

While communicating through an Undercover Smart strategy of real-time front-line reports, blogs and do-for-self messages African American blog talk radio and Internet TV is growing strong in the shadows.

BAD NEWS ON THE DOORSTEP
Bad news in recent weeks coming into the B.R.S.C.C. from the African American front-lines in California, Memphis, Tenn., and Chicago, Illinois has made it necessary for blog talk radio and Internet TV to emerge from the shadows to take center stage in our struggle to exist within a 21st century marketing equation that is educationally driven and African American unfriendly.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - An Associated Press analysis of government data on the 83 federally designated four-year HBCUs shows just 37 percent of their black students finish a degree within six years. That's 4 percentage points lower than the national college graduation rate for black students.

California - Recent studies on prisoner re-entry suggest that, nearly 400 prisoners, A DAY, are being released into the community, with 70% to 90% of them being unemployed because only 20% of the state's employers are willing to hire persons with convictions

The most devastating news of all comes out of Chicago, Illinois. The educational report concludes beyond assumption and supposition that African Americans can't read and the report clearly explains why black men are struggling in colleges.

The reports firmly reveals that the greatest number poor performing highs schools are black with only 2% of the students proficient in math and only 8% in reading out of a national average of 54%.

The facts and figures leaves no doubt that since African Americans cant read that there leaves only two other viable options available to African American existence and advancement: Blog talk-radio and Internet TV.

If surrender, replacement, termination, and annihilation is not an option and if African Americans can talk or act then African American blog talk radio and Internet TV is the way to go and your gateway into the 21st century. Hassen Raheem founder of http://wacptv.ning.com/ declares, "THE TIME IS NOW!"

WE NEED A NAME AND A FACE
The education reports quantifying that African Americans cant read was devastating enough but since African Americans can't read they cant comprehend the dire implications or ramifications from the report.

Without a face and a name to illustrate and demonstrate the true impact of the report upon the African American existence the report in and of itself is just a meaningless pile of facts and figures.

Without a name and face added to the report African Americans are content to let people say and think what they want to say or think about them.

African Americans need proof. African Americans need to see someone they know before they believe they can't read. What would happen next would prove to African Americans that figures don't lie and it will put a face and a name to the facts and figures. What African Americans saw and heard brought the educational report to life in real-time.

The following statement that brought the facts and figures from the educational report to life came from the African Americans greatest and loudest advocate for public education.

Senator/Pastor James Meeks the African American's staunches advocate for parity in public education while representing his mega church of over 2000 members had this to say at the Urban League Economic Summit about the African American participation in the economic stimulus package:

"Black people ain't gone get their fair share of the stimulus money"
Senator/Pastor James Meeks

In a televised sermon senator/pastor James Meeks confessed to the nation that people have lost respect for him and now refer to his Church as "THE HOUSE OF IGNORANCE." and that his sermons attracts ignorant people.

Senator James Meeks illiteracy in conduct, strategy and conversation has put a name and face to the educational report and sent blogtalk radio and Internet TV freedom fighters and diehards into overdrive knowing that African Americans now have only 2 options left for survival and inclusion.

The reported conditions on the ground has mandated that blogtalk radio and Internet TV emerge from the shadows, step up the pace and turn up the heat. Below are a few of African American blogtalk radio and Internet TV forums that have taken a position on the front lines:
