  • 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...

"Father's Day" blog: "ETHNIC CLEANSING" in "PARENTAL ALIENATION"

Is'nt the unjust, blatant and malicious total alienation of BI-RACIAL children from either of their parents (who is from a different ethinc group than the children's custodial parent) a form of "ETHNIC CLEANSING"?

 Is'nt that especially the case if the non-custodial parent's ethnicity is one of the primary reasons (if not THE primary reason) why woefully corrupt and unethical, and blatantly biased (albeit BIGOTED) [ANTI-]Family Court Officials, Divorce Lawyers, Law Guardians and CPS Caseworkers actually condone, sanction, or initiate the total alienation WITHOUT "CAUSE"?

 Something to ponder over, and one of those things that (should) make you go "Hummm..."

 P.S.:  A few months ago I sent a letter to President Barak Obama, NYS Governor David Paterson, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, and NYS Attorney General, Andrew Cuomo, chronicling the dire plight of my two, (now teenaged) BI-RACIAL sons, Evan & Ethan Sinclair, with the details (AND DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE) regarding how Evan & Ethan were unjustly stolen from me and totally alienated from me by a "Brigade of Bigots" (blatantly and maliciously using them as PAWNS and as WEAPONS against me - as if my young sons neither have any emotions nor any "Rights") THROUGHOUT THE PAST TEN (10) YEARS (THUSFAR). 

Of course, throughout the last Presidential campaign  - and most recently TWO WEEKS AGO (Father's Day) - Our new President (who is bi-racial, like my sons) repeatedly stressed the fact that his father basically abandoned him and his mother when he was very young.  Hence, President Obama repeatedly exhorts fathers - ESPECIALLY BLACK FATHERS - to be more involved in our children's lives.  So, it goes without saying that I am EXTREMELY EAGER to see what his response will be regarding the Most Devoted Father being UNJUSTLY FORCED OUT of my children's lives and PREVENTED from having any contact or communication with them throughout the past TEN YEARS!

I sent the President's copy via Certified Mail and I have received the return receipt which was stampped confirming that it was received by THE WHITE HOUSE on May 19th.  But I have not [yet] receied any response or reply from ANY of the honorable and esteemed recipients of the aforementioned letter.
