We know that Sean Bell was a good kid. But what about the thugs who jumped in his car unannounced perhaps. Well, I will only add a few more thoughts. Sean Bell is another example of a good kid caught at the wrong time with the wrong guys. And as usual, the innocent guy gets [...]

Is anyone really surprised that three police officers were set free after killing an UNARMED black man? I’m not. In fact, my jaw would have dropped if they received any type of jail time whatsoever. One thing is abundantly clear; cops can get away with killing anyone for any reason. I would not be [...]

According to Queen Rania of Jordan, the issue is blown way out of proportion.
Admittedly, I was one to believe that there are more cons than pros to being a woman in the Middle East. Honor killings, forced marriages, etc. are pretty much all we ever hear about. As Rania points out, 1 out of 3 [...]

Phil Donahue seems to think so and I concur 100%. Below is a video courtesy of The Young Turks (TYT) where Donahue discusses his view:
I do think that an important point deserves mentioning. We can be against this futile war, but it is important not to bash the troops in the process. Remember, [...]

College gals have much to be concerned about. Some were concerned about grades, others about which party they would attend. Still others were concerned about maintaining integrity in a party hearty environment. But I was also concerned about not wearing pants, dying my hair, or using make-up. That brings me to an article from AOL [...]

Probably not, but I certainly would not classify her as a Christian (blog: Jesus Christology). As I’ve mentioned before, I like and admire Oprah. But her theology is almost sacrilegious and nothing I would ever adhere to.

Just about everyone I know is concerned about the economy. Some will even go as far as saying that the American middle class is disappearing (Just watch any and every episode of Lou Dobbs). As the days go by, I see the evidence of this. Everything is getting ridiculously expensive from the price of milk [...]

I’m sure you’ve heard it before, black women have major attitudes. Given the climate that we live in, it would seem as such. But it really isn’t attitude at all; at least not in the negative sense.
