  • 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...

What Barack can Do For Black African American People!

December 25, 2008

The reduction of Poverty is critical to the empowerment of Black African American People. However, I think there is one other critical issue that has helped to maintain Black African American People in their current conditions. Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States should, using an Administrative Directive, terminate all programs designed to stifle the creativity, innovativeness, and aspirations of Black African American People. The Co-Intelpro policies that affect education, commerce, business, community development and leadership development. The freedom, without interference from government agencies and their agents, will allow Black African American People to do for ourselves, empower ourselves and solve many of our own problems that were created due to a history of enslavement, which produced generational poverty and a survival mentality that help to maintain us in our current condition.

We can compete when the rules of the game are the same for everyone and the playing field is level. Our biggest challenge will be overcoming our need for self-hatred. Our unity of purpose to empower ourselves must be our common bond. We should only demand that President Barack Obama level the playing field in every area of his administration with respect to redistribution of opportunities for government programs, policies, contracts, employment opportunities and access to opportunities where the best ideas rise to the top, not ones history, money, power, influence and political connections. We must not ask for any preferences or special treatment, just the opportunity to compete fairly on a level playing field.

Sincerely,

Brother Charles E. Campbell
