- My Dreams:
- To be a major part of the solution, and by all costs, avoid becoming a part of the problem.

We can only choose one... which is your poison of choice?
"The lesser of two evils" has always been the grain of salt and a part of the electoral process here the the U.S. and any other places where officials are elected into office. Which is to be your evil of choice? The a-typical war mongering "Good 'ole boy" with out-dated ideology that will maintain the current Bush policy that is tearing this country and the rest of the world apart? Or what appears for now to be the only other choice, someone who may not be perfect but is a far cry from "McBush"… Continue

"Black" enough to be "Black"?
I'm a realist, who deals with hard facts (proven ones). I'm not sure why some continue to overlook the fact that too many young black people are being misguided by our pop culture and no one is bold enough and has the balls to stand up and pull some eyelids open. And those that are are ridiculed, this rarely happens in the white community, they praise those who take a stand in their community.

Obama is the man! For reasons you may not like or appreciate, yet are intended for your own good nevertheless.
My opinion on the Jesse Jackson flap and it's deeper meanings.
http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008/07/13/a_clash_of_generations_in_black_community/
Jesse Jackson is a slow (as in retarded) dinosaur. He is a minstrel in a suit who hates being a minstrel but can't help it. I agree wth Obama, Bill Cosby, and everyone else who believes the black community needs to suck it up and get it's s**it together, lot's of tough love, bring it on!
