Obama is not the Black Messiah and I doubt a Messiah (black or otherwise) will show up anytime soon to solve the problems in our community. I am so tired of the begging, whining, complaining and cajoling from our so called leaders and the black commentariat directed at President Obama.

I often think of my hometown of Berkeley, California; living on Berkeley Way up the street from the Glass Lot Baseball Field. We called it the Glass Lot because it was, to the casual observer a vacant lot of cement, broken glass and occasionally a junked car where winos, addicts and the homeless disposed of their bottles and other trash on a nightly basis. It was also where we played Baseball in the spring, summer, and early fall despite the hazards of broken glass and leftover cement that were remnants of a multi-storied parking lot razed long before I was born.

The crisis we face in the middle east is complex and all perspectives (historical, political, economical et. al.) must be understood in order for us to develop viable solutions that will solve them. I hope that the following brief historical overview will suffice in our efforts to comprehend what is going on over there. Read More

The phenomenon known as Neo-Conservatism has begun to make significant inroads within the African American political arena. Clarence Thomas and Ward Connelly have long been the poster children for the Black conservative movement. African Americans such as J. Kenneth Blackwell, Michael Steele, and Lynn Swann proudly wear the conservative banner and although they all lost their respective races, they were serious and legitimate contenders; as opposed to the usual Allen Keyesian, Black token republican candidate.
