Black History Month….Sigh

It’s that time  of year again. When Yahoo! and Google change their logos to show ‘appreciation.’ When there are more R&B based singing McDonald’s commercials on than usual and the NAACP tries to show its relevance. Yes, Black History Month. Now, for the past couple of years during Black History Month, I spend every day, [...]

Black America Still Paralyzed, Powerless, Irrelevant: Year 4 of the Obama Era by BAR managing editor Bruce A. Dixon Three years ago this week, more than 2 million souls, at least half of them African American, converged upon the nation’s capital. They came, in what my colleague Glen Ford called the Great Black Hajj of [...]

From Dr. Boyce Waktins: Would Michelle Make A Better President Than Barack?

We should consider making Michelle Obama President of the United States. While she probably wouldn’t get elected, it is likely that she would make a better commander-in-chief than her husband (no disrespect, Barack!). Here are just a few reasons why: 1)  She’s just as smart as her husband: Barack Obama went to an Ivy League [...]

How To Make Them Negroes Giddy- The Obama Edition

If any other president besides Bill Clinton did this, they’d get the side-eye with the quickness. But Barack Obama being the incumbent and knowing that he can treat Black folks like simpletons they will respond accordingly.

Cornel West & Tavis Smiley

I had the pleasure of hearing these brothas speak last night. I wish I would have gotten a chance to go to their earlier panel which featured the likes of Michael Moore and Suze Orman. However, I went to their ‘afterword’ which was quite interesting. Now, I don’t agree with everything either of these gentlemen [...]

Because well, Mitt Romney doesn’t have a (D) behind his name and his not Obama. Black folks are the prime group on that Obammites. That’s what I’m calling folks [...]

Harry Belafonte on President Barack Obama

“When I think of Barack Obama and I think about all that is at stake here I’ve really long since left talking about how many terms he will be as a president. My question is what legacy will he leave having had the opportunity to serve under such hugely dramatic circumstances and boggled the mind [...]

Iowa Caucuses Held Last Night

*Cough* *Cough* So? Let’s be real here. You all know I refuse to vote for any of these crooks but, we all know that with the choices that have been presented to us, Obama is for certain going to get re-elected. Let’s not even have election day. Let’s just inaugurate him again. He the same [...]

Matt Damon on President Obama

Actor Matt Damon had some harsh word regarding President Obama in a recent Elle magazine article. He stated: “I’ve talked to a lot of people who worked for Obama at the grassroots level. One of them said to me, ‘Never again. I will never be fooled again by a politican,’” Damon told the publication. “You [...]

Will Obama Get Re-Elected?

Honestly, does it matter? As of now, poll numbers give him a 50/50 chance but we all know how unreliable poll numbers are. The fact of the matter is that, it matters not if he does or if he doesn’t. Half of the nation doesn’t approve of him due to the economy, repeated lies etc. [...]
