  • 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 AMERICA AND THE BLACK PROFESSIONAL SLACKERS

@Enoch, maybe I'm of just average intelligence, so break it down so that us average folks can understand. What are you getting at?
John Horner

DEAR BLACK AMERICA 2011 AND BEYOND
Sight unseen this has nothing to do with individuality. I have no doubt that black people are wonderful people as individuals but this is about the "collective" not the "individual."

This is about moving as one unit to insert, penetrate, infiltrate and aggregate a 21st century marketing equation that is currently ignoring, resisting and rejecting our involvement, inclusion, participation, contribution and presense.

I am a black man and I am on this team and as long as I am on this team I want my grandchildren to live free and to pursue life, liberty and happiness.

These black professionals don't want to live and produce for no one but them. They do not want to be bothered with original thought, critical thinking, fresh ideas or global responsibility.

They prefer to wallow, follow and tailgate white America's afterbirth even though white America takes its' lead from a black president.

These black professional slackers view a call to action, intelligence, courage, bravery, self sacrifice, work, duty and responsibility as hate and attacks upon them,

This is not personal. This is not hate. This is not an attack. This is a matter of national security....

Saving the 21st century for my grandchildren requires teamwork and as long as I am a member on team Black America I refuse to let the 21st century roll us up like sleeping bags simply because the black professionals refuse to accept responsibility to combine their collective intelligence to formulate and execute a plan to secure the 21st century for the incoming and upcoming generations of black Americans.

Short of drawing you a picture of black Americans laying out in urbans cities like bodies in an open grave, I cannot explain it to you any better than this.
