This won’t be a popular statement to the majority of people in the United States, but it’s not supposed to be. Folks, it’s always about race; plain and simple. Now, why am I making such a statement? What’s prompting this particular post and how does it pertain to what’s going on in this country? If [...]
My wife had an incident at Macy’s at Carousel Center Mall this past week. She went in to pay a bill. The woman at the counter was taking care of this older couple before her, so she waited. She stated that this woman was really friendly to the couple, talking and smiling and laughing with [...]
It’s another year for Black History Month to try to get people who could care less to understand just what it used to mean to be black in America. I say it that way because based on a lot of what I see, most people care as much about that as they do about what [...]
Today is the holiday for Martin Luther King, Jr. I haven’t addressed it every year, though last year was something special because it was the day before Barack Obama was sworn in as president. It’s been a strange year, and I’ve sometimes wondered what Dr. King would have thought about the year in general. I [...]

A couple of days ago I wrote a post where I talked about my friend George Chapman and his unique idea, which I still think is a pretty good idea, on a health care plan. We talked about a lot of things, and one thing in particular came up. I was saying to him how [...]
This is the enduring image from this date, April 4, 1968, the last day alive for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. To many people today, this picture looks staged, but it’s the real deal. Dr. King was assassinated at 6:01PM at a hotel in Memphis, Tennessee, there supporting garbage workers on strike, and his killing [...]
Goodness, we still haven’t had President Obama in office a month yet, and not only is Rush Limbaugh, easily a renown racist conservative radio host spewing his filth, much to the delight of closet racists across the country, but now he has more help. Not that anything Rupert Murdoch’s companies are involved in don’t smack [...]
When I look back through my blog, I realize that I have touched upon the subject of having to deal with the consequences of one’s actions many times. The first time was when I addressed the Jennifer Wilbanks story back in 2005 (she was the woman who disappeared a day before she was going to [...]
Talk about being dismayed. I had always seen December as the season where people pull together the most and forget about the differences that their lives have, for the most part.
