"What the Republican Party has been stubborn about accepting is that no self-respecting Black person is going to trade their manhood or womanhood for a tax cut. In my book The Entrepreneurial Secret I devote an entire chapter entitled, “The Secret T…
Eric, I agree that this matter isn't about Jackson, Sharpton, or the NAACP, and of course we should be free, but I don't get the rest of your first comment.
You “flipped the script” to white on white violence of conservatives on liberals. Conservat…
"I can name many instances where they didn't just in my city much less nationally."
I had the same thought, Jamara. They do not, will not, can not, and should not swoop down from the clouds in every instance (and even if they were supermen of that…
Hey Chris,
No naiveté here - I didn’t comment one way or the other on the motivations Sharpton, et al might have for getting involved in a given situation. Their motivations aren’t relevant to my statement. I just stated the fact that they are limi…
Peace Chris,
I just Googled this story and reviewed some of the reactions.
How many of these people who have reacted to the assault on Kenneth Gladney have a history of similar commentary, organizing, and demonstrating in every other instance wher…

- About me:
- As a good-natured independent, I typically smile politely when the so-called “Uncle Toms” of the Right and the “slaves” on the “Democrat Plantation” of the Left throw useless slurs at each other. If that is all you have to offer, please entertain us by doing it creatively instead of re-heating your daddy’s stale leftovers. Give me something useful and show respect for Black People.
No, I’m not on a fence; I have own yard. Anyone who can respectfully offer something valuable in support of my interests may visit.
I have a wonderful family and I am typically in the company of decent and intelligent people. My consistent support and witness to the women and the men of my circle as they perform excellent work contributes to my faith that despite well-documented obstacles we are going to create beautiful realities of which our Ancestors will be justly proud.

Cedric Muhammad: ‘Homus Blackicus’ Why White Republicans Are Scared of ‘Me’
"What the Republican Party has been stubborn about accepting is that no self-respecting Black person is going to trade their manhood or womanhood for a tax cut. In my book The Entrepreneurial Secret I devote an entire chapter entitled, “The Secret To Policy: Developing Your Self-Enlightened Interest,” to the subject of how entrepreneurs in the Black community should interact with any political party. It revolves not so much on intellectual agreement or sympathy, as it does the language of… Continue

- I am Dr. Jean Howard-Hill and I head the National Republican African American Caucus - NRAAC.
The NRAAC creates a new, exciting and positive relationship between the Republican Party and the African-American community; and increases the visibility and ranks of African-American Republicans who share some of the same core values as the Party.
The uniqueness of our organization is two fold:
1. Ninety percent (90%) of our membership are new republicans! This means we have successfully recruited from a fresh pool of voters who were either Independents, Democrats or non-voters.
2. The membership consist of ninety-nine percent (99%) African America people of faith, with more than seventy-five percent (75%) of its membership coming from the African American clergy and those in ministry, and ninety-five percent (95%) of its leadership being clergy and those in some form of ministry.
The NRAAC also serves as a conduit for addressing issues and concerns that are unique to the African-American community, and opportunities to work together with the Republican Party, and elected officials to find workable and amicable solutions. The creation of the organization offers hope for the betterment of the total community by building a stronger, more diverse, and more stable political environment, that strengthens our families, communities, and nation.
Our goal is 1 million by 2012, and 100,000 in 2010. You may ask why so many? As one who teaches Political Science at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, let me explain why. It is because political strength is in numbers! If you can show you have a substantial number of people who can stand as a voting block, and have the ability to finance your own cause, then you become a significant player within the political landscape. This is how we as African Americans get to the table, have a voice and are placed ourselves in appointed and elected positions.
The NRAAC website at www.nraacaucus.org, contains more information on the organization and its projects.
Also we have begun to make new appointments of regional and state chairs, and advisory board and national board members for 2010. If you are interested, and have decide to become a member, you may submit your name, bio/resume for consideration to jean.howard.hill@gmail.com or chair@nraacaucus.org .
Feel free to e-mail me at jean.howard.hill@gmail.com or jean-howard-hill@utc.edu, and to pass this e-mail on to anyone who may be interested. Tennessee, Ohio and Florida’s websites are up. They can be accessed at www.tnraacaucus.org, www.ohraacaucus.org, and www.flraacaucus.org The websites for other states should be up by the end of November 2010. We welcome members from all states!
I look forward to hearing from you, having you join our membership, and even seeing you at the April 16th – 17th NRAAC Conference. Our theme is: Setting the Republican Agenda to Include People of Color.
