    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

    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.

  • 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.

READ BELOW AND TELL ME... HOW CAN THIS BE?
 Congratulations to the people of South Sudan - After 2 civil wars and 5 decades...The people have achieved their dream http://bit.ly/nVmqap Republic of South Sudan celebrates birth www.theglobeandmail.com After a half-century struggle, the Republic of South Sudan marks its independence day

Sudan and the world understand that there is never victory without sacrifice.
 
Meanwhile....African Americans are the most educated and technologically advanced black classification on the planet Earth and yet the African Americans languish in squalor, poverty, discontent, disconnect and disenfranchisement.

HOW CAN THIS BE?
 
Here in Black America many black activist and revolutionary thinkers and doers have sacrificed their lives and freedom for freedom, justice and equality only to be left hanging and abandoned by those they fought and sacrificed in behalf of.
 
Sincerely, Enoch Mubarak
