Meanwhile … this message: Black people must do more. I know that I’ve stated here that White people must do more to help end Racism. However … Black people Must do More. That’s not news. Not really … Bill Cosby started saying it a few years back and caught hell from the black community; while

** Trayvon was followed, and murdered because he was in the wrong place, while black. The following article was written back in 2013 as this case was unfolding. Live Video Streams that ‘were’ active no longer work. I’ll look to see if I can find the original footage on youtube. There are a few ‘updates’

Let’s discuss Paula Dean for a moment …. Fired from her ‘job’ for using offensive language. Like far too many race related topics this sparked a debate. White Americans like Bill Maher feel very entitled to do whatever they want. Even if it means making offensive remarks to black people. As usual, the desire to

I got the joke. The Defense in the George Zimmerman Trial was basically trying to suggest that it’s impossible to have really NOT heard who George Zimmerman is – (specially in today’s Social Media Age) and yet this was how the jury was selected; Suggesting that there is something wrong with the selection process from

The Culture matters. That is one of the main points illustrated in the new book by Phil Jackson 11 Rings. Howard Cosell once stated that “Sports is human life in microcosm.” To me it has always been fascinating to study the difference in Franchises that seem to win time and time again, while others seem

When Bill Gates talks, I listen. He’s an example of wha the rich should do. The early years when I would tell people this (that I Listen when he talks) they’d say I was crazy – that Bill Gates is the devil. People said this simply because the guy was making more money than everyone

Asante Samuel came on the Loose Cannons (Now called Fox Sports Prime Time) today … and gave perhaps the best quote I’ve heard in the past 48 hours – that we really shouldn’t be talking about who sports figures sleep with in the first place; we should keep the focus on the game; on the
Season 3 of Game of Thrones is well underway with Episode #5 “Kissed by Fire”. The Hound fights fire, literally in this episode. Starting off with perhaps one of the best one on one fight scenes we’ve seen in the entire Series so far! The Hound, of House Clegane who has a huge fear of

The Gay conversation has become an ongoing aspect of our society hasn’t it? I realize that whenever it is suggested that the media has an agenda to push and promote homosexuality, that suggestion is often met with ferocious opposition. Anyone who dares suggest it, is called several names, and is vilified by that very same

I tend to enjoy the commentary from the Young Turks. In this brief clip they discuss Mr. Rent Is Too Damn High, Jimmy McMillan. When he ran the last time he got 40,000 votes, say the Young Turks, but his YouTube videos where people re-mixed what he was saying during the debates got 7 Million
