Black Men and White Women - An Epidemic?

This once taboo of a black man seeking and being seen with a white woman is no more. Not too long ago black men were beaten to death or lynched for this very act. I don't know if it's due to the election of Barack Obama to the presidency, or everyone now sees racism in this country as dead and buried; but it seems to be a growing trend to see a "brotha" on the arms of a Caucasian woman these days. Are they trying to say that a black man being seen with a white woman is an honor of some sort? T… Continue

Why Is Black History Important?

Why Is Black History Important? Without Black History there would be no American History. America was built by the hard work of Black people. The contributions of African Americans to these United States have been innumerable and have benefitted America economically, as well as, culturally. Black History must not be forgotten, lest we blend into the melting pot of America. If black history is no longer celebrated, Black people will have been forgotten, swallowed up and put in the background… Continue

Agginitus: Number One Fatal Disease Killing African Americans

December 7, 2008 AGGINITUS: Number One Fatal Disease Killing African Americans Today, a new disease known as Agginitus is killing more African Americans than HIV, diabetes, strokes, and heart disease combined. This new disease does not discriminate in age, sex, religion or ideology. It is highly unmerciful, even to African American infants and toddlers.

November 22, 2008 Written by Alberta Parish Just being around my family today made me recognize how much anger and unforgiveness I harbor toward most of them. Today was also the day of my cousin’s funeral. I paid my last respects to a young man who, years ago, gave his life to Jesus, and I’m happy about that. After the funeral, most of the family went back to the church for dinner. I got my plate and just sat off to myself. A couple of people came over to me to make small talk. But I talked br… Continue
