I went to the 15th Annual Woman’s Empowerment event in Raleigh yesterday. I’ve lived here for 8 years and this is the first time I’ve gone. I went with my wife and two daughters.

P.E. said you “Can’t Trust It!” I guess this is how slug Republicans feel after their “Chairman in Blackface” (or so they thought) has shown “his real color”.
Michael Steele talks like a regular black guy
Michael Steele has been making comments that Republicans thought their “Leader in Blackface” surely would not be making when they elected [...]

That bang is on MY drum. That’s right. My blog is MY drum. It just took me reading several comments from (what I believe to be) members of the white race to realize what my blog really is.
In 2009, I’m bangin on it like I’m at a ZULU tribal dance. I’m bangin on it like [...]

Everyone knows that Fox News is the talking head of the GOP. It’s only fitting to highlight a report of Sarah Palin’s ineptitude that reinforces what I believe a majority of Americans came to believe prior to the November 4th election. That Sarah Palin was and is unqualified to be anywhere near the White House…

Took today off. Thought I’d write and just record my thoughts about this historic day. Will update as the day goes by…
Watched some CNN video of what Kenyans and Egyptians thought about the prospect of an Obama Presidency. It sent chills down my spine. It dawned on me that Obama has a direct connection to [...]

The US looks ahead collectively. Makes a statement to the world that it is still the country of peace, liberty and prosperity for all!
This will hold true. I believe in this country and that the citizens, collectively, will do the right thing and vote Republicans out of power so the common man can breath. No [...]
