Football Season Begins!

My stepson, Jamal, is super excited about football season starting. He is playing on the JV team at Norcross High School in Georgia. He literally fought to get back to GA from Jersey because he knew playing on a southern team would benefit his future career in the NFL. It is a proven fact that towns in the South take their high school sports teams way more serious than those up North.

Favorite BET Awards 2009 Moments

BET Awards 2009

This year's awards show was a smash. Especially with the sudden changes that had to be made because of MJ's death.

Tribute to Micheal J. Jackson

Micheal Jackson Dies at Age 50

It took me awhile to believe it was true, but after reading various blogs, messages on Facebook and media coverage, CNN finally confirmed that the King of Pop-Michael J. Jackson was dead.

It is still too much to take in all at once, but I am sure we will all get through this sudden lost of a musical genius, brother and friend in time.

At least he left us the comfort of his music to help us cope through the grief.

Senate Wants To Apology for Slavery, but Doesn't Want to Provide Reparations.

The United States Senate finally wants to apologize for the inhuman capture and treatment of African slaves and the lawful, yet immoral racial injustice experienced by African-Americans, but is it too little too late? What will this acknowledgement prove? Do we not all comprehend Americana's treacherous, barbaric history to gain economic, political and world domination?

And what's up with the omission of reparations? This was part of the Reconstruction plan after the Civil War. Didn't General William Sherman promise, through the Special Field Orders, No 15, that freed slaves living in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida would receive "40 acres and a mule" on the steps of The First African Baptist Church in Savannah, Georgia on January 16, 1865, well after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed by President Abraham Lincoln?

I would prefer my land up front, so I can build my empire. They can keep the mule, I’ll take a tractor.
