Raleigh Womens Empowerment, or concert…whatever you want to call it

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.
I guess the motivation for me going was more related to my older daughter being 17 and about to leave the nest [...]

Random thoughts on a HISTORIC MOMENT!

Took today off. Thought I’d write and just record my thoughts about this historic day. Will update as the day goes by…

Revolution within the Black Community

Those of us who TIRED of black people making excuses for our race need to jump behind Obama and his call for the black community to be more responsible for their own actions. Though this is nothing different then what Bill Cosby has said on numerous occasions in the past.

Don’t piss me off Barack. Brotha or no Brotha

Don’t mess things up. You pandering to Illegal Immigrant supporters is a little unnerving. While I don’t have any worries of illegal immigrants taking my job because of their willingness to be exploited, I do have a problem with what I’ve seen the past 7 years.

Karl Malone, Pedo

Maybe there should be a seperate “Hall of Shame” for hall of fame caliber ex-athletes who are revealed, years later, to have been pedophiles when they were playing the sport they “worked hard” in.
Karl Malone had a child with a girl who was 13 years old when she had birth! That means she was 12 [...]

Hoosier Tarheel Vote for?

Having been born and raised in Gary, Indiana (1st 18years), I’ve lived in the Raleigh-Durham, NC area since June 2001. The similarities between Indiana and North Carolina are in most instances subtle, and in some instances striking.
Indiana, Northwest Indiana in particular, has suffered greatly due to the global economy, primarily through the loss of blue [...]

Roger Clemons, Pedo

The white working class “hard worker” has turned out to be a cheat AND a pedophile.
“I cannot refute anything in the story,” a tearful but resolute McCready told the Daily News, which broke the story at midnight Sunday.
In its story Monday night, sources told the News that McCready went with Clemens to his hotel room [...]
