  • 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.

    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.

Support Justice at our Black Community Press Conference!

Dear Supporters:

A Community Press Conference will be held at the African American and African Studies Community Extension Center located at 905 Mt. Vernon Ave. Columbus, Ohio 43203, Friday, September 25, 2009 from 10:00 to 11:00 AM. 

We need you to attend this Press Conference to show your support for the 1. reinstatement of Dr. Judson Jeffries as the center director, 2. the OSU African American and African Studies Community Extension Center and 3. the Black Community. 

The Ohio State University will not be able to steal the 1 Million Dollars raised by Dr. Jeffries for the AAASCEC expansion and programming from the Black Community; continue to disrespect the AAASCEC Advisory Committee of well respected community leaders, and to reframe the issue of the removal of Dr. Jeffries from the center director on 8/31/09 as a personnel matter.  Does President E. Gordon Gee, Dean Joseph Steinmetz, Dr. Mac Stewart, Dr. Joyce Beatty,  Dr. Anthonia Kalu, Judge Alegenon Marbley, and Alex Shumate, think the Black Community is stupid???  Please visit the following website to get the full story: http://www.bluenile-radio.com/bnr_news_osu1.htm or http://wbsinccd.tripod.com/justice4aaascec/

Justice delayed for one day is justice denied too long!! Black Leadership must lead, follow or get out of the way.
Sincerely,

Charles E. Campbell,  Cycle Six Graduate RMICL
