    Black People : AND PROMISES TO KEEP?

    I think we are excited more about the change that Obama represents. Would our ancestors have ever thought that we who were once counted as 3/5 of a person is now in the running to be one of the most powerful men on the planet? We who were denied education, denied the right to marry who we loved...

    Black People : Who are the Delegates / Superdelegates?

    White women may jump on Hillary's bandwagon but Sistas don't fool that easily. Hil can turn on the tears and get choked-up and that affects her White counterparts but Sistas saw right through it. Your husband, your partner, your soulmate cheats on you NUMEROUS times and embarasses you in front...

    Black People : Where are the Obsevations of the Blacks of Illinois?

    My intention was not to question your intelligence, beliefs or intuition. My only intent was to try and help facillitate an interesting discussion. If politicians choose to run based on their records then shouldn't the voting public be knowledgeable about these records? Maybe someone would have...

    Blackbird--I know------ your inquiry wasn't directed at me but I think the point of the question was this...(and Natinr- please correct me if I am mistaken)... AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL--what has Barack Obama done for the constituents who voted him into office...... Granted, we all have the power...

    Black People : Who are the Delegates / Superdelegates?

    Do you think it's possible to groom those of this generation who have the means (althletes, rappers, etc.) but not the methods nor mentors at their disposal? If we were to pull these young men aside and show them their wealth and influence can have a positive impact on their race and their...

    Black People : Who are the Delegates / Superdelegates?

    Obama's Downfall---- Being a Junior Senator is working for and against him. He doesn't have a litany of "bad votes" or "missed" votes on his Congressional record but that also denotes a lack of experience as well. Being a first-term Senator he hasn't built up enough of a "resume" nor has he had...

    Black Relationships : dem brazilian women again.......

    If I May I TOTALLY agree that respect is a 2-way street and that you get what you give. However, it has become popular to symbolize Black women as money-taking, rump-shakers who aren't good for much more than s****** and f******. Yes, corporate America is behind this diabolical plot but...
