Glenn had an operation, and had to reschedule for next week. I will tape on Thurs and will air on Friday.
Everyone look at life different but the fact about life. There is experience's that each culture must confront all over the world and to say that there is no black experience make on sense.
There are two things about Obama that a lot of people don't realize. One is that all of his (white) family members during his formative years were atheists, and the other is that he lived as a Muslim named Barry Soetoro in Indonesia from the ages of…
Funny, Josiah! I agree!
I'm the opposite I'm a Black who just happened to be shipped to the U.S.

- About me:
- I'm a country boy, raised by my grandparents, due to the death of my mother, when I was 4. I had the good fortune of being from a functional family, overflowing with love.
Though poor financially, my grandmother's best friend was a wealthy White lady, who gifted my family greatly. However when I became an adult, I realized that the umbilical chord had been cut. I was on my own.
Thankfully I had seen how the world really works. It's not black vs white, but more "ambitious" vs "lazy", optimist vs pessimist, Conservative vs Liberal!
I write The Black Sphere blog, http://theblacksphere.blogspot.com, and host a radio show of the same name at http://blogtalkradio.com/theblacksphere. Check me out some time.

Understanding the Black Experience? - From American Thinker
May 23, 2009
Understanding the Black Experience?
By Kevin Jackson
I received an email from a black man who was attempting to convince me that, though I am completely black, I have no experience growing up black in America. The bulk of his theory on my ‘blackness' was based on the fact that I constantly lampoon Obama in my blog. He counseled me to embrace Obama, as Obama could help me to "rediscover the black experience." He warned that "whites would never see me, as I see me."
Touting Obama as… Continue

Obama is Always Late!
It is said that the Bush policy was "be on time, all the time." Like the dress code, Obama has apparently abandoned this "eight years of the previous administration" policy as well.
I learned recently that Obama may now indeed get to claim the distinction of being the first Black pres… Continue

Obama's Bailout Plan - Pork-A-Palooza
The new bailout plan is a great example of Democrats playing chess, while we are playing checkers. A couple of days ago I blogged that Pelosi including "contraception" in the bailout plan. Well yesterday she had "a little 'splaining to do". And after all the explaining, it appe… Continue

Economic Impact on Obama's Coronation
With all the hoopla surrounding the coronation of Obama, you would think that you wouldn't be able to find a place to stay in DC. Prices for a week's rental of modest accommodations were said to be going for $10,000 a week, right after the election. One of my Black friends who hail… 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.

- ok, hunnybun. obamamania is over. only 2 million showed up, nobody was arrested, and they left plenty of work for the dc department of sanitation. you know those folks - they actually live in the hoods of the district. i hope that an unintended benefit of have a black first family is that chocolate city residents get proud of the city they live in. maybe some of the 'too siddity to live in the city' bourgees will dump the paper mansions of pg county and remake dc into a capital city!!
am i daft or can we make a commitment to rebuilding our cities and their schools part of what we believe in? while i emphatically believe that parents should have options for their childre's education, i know that the people who fix my car, rewire my church, and provide my defense will most likely be products of the public schools. i call it self-interest.
