Martin Luther King used the term “UpSouth” to characterize his thoughts of the State of Indiana whenever he traveled to it. Essentially, he was inferring that unlike other non-southern states north of the Mason-Dixon line, the fervor of the racist climate was as negative in Indiana as it was in, say, Alabama.

In four days, Americans will either undergo a “Racial Exorcism” or embrace the “gluten for punishment” definition.
In the racial exorcism category, IF Obama wins, it will be because a sizable number of White Americans have placed aside race and decided to choose a President who in my opinion cleary demonstrated that he is the better [...]

Even with a screw up performance tonight by Palin , McCain will still be within sticking distance of beating Obama. Why? Because Obama’s black and quite a bit of the voting public just can’t get past that. No matter the train wreck the McCain/Palin ticket is.

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 [...]
