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 [...]

My post a week or so ago on “What’s Wrong With Blacks” was met with attacks by blacks who blog about the lack of a focus on white acts of racism and their double standards.
My facts focus on how WE act within our own communities and our lack of respect for one another and how [...]

My post on “What’s Wrong With Blacks” was recently commented on by “brotherpeacemaker”. Basically, he summed up my post as my congering up a vantage point that brothers who are doing less with their lives were looking me up and down because I had on slacks. Additionally, he said that maybe I was the one [...]

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.
Today, I was just in Wal-mart and noticed a pregnant [...]

Who ever would have known these three groups had something in common. They all won’t vote for a brotha! The first group is a given. It’s like living under a rock. Kentucky & West Virginia are examples of places that suffer from having not been affected by integration. And don’t say their the better [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
