A Letter to Tavis Smiley

Dear Mr.Tavis Smiley,

 

I recently listened to your disagreement you recently had with the Reverend Al Sharpton on his radio show and I went on your website and listened to your talking points on why we need a Black Agenda, and I also listened to your promotion on the debate in Chicago on March 20th. So I am writing in response to you question regarding a “Black Agenda” in America.

Hope YOU Can "Change" Mr. President

President Obama isn’t really enjoying a good one year anniversary especially since he had to digest the victory of Republican Scott Brown surprising win in the Massachusetts Senatorial race.

And We Are Back!

Hello all,

We are very sorry that we have not posted in a such a very long time, but sometimes life just deals you a hand that forces a person to put other activities to the side to focus on priorities. Now that those priorities have been taken care of, at least for now, we are ready to get back into the saddle and work on building this community. We hope that you all will stick around, or just come back for that matter.

The four finalist cities for the vote were Chicago (USA), Madrid (Spain), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), and Tokyo (Japan) wanted to host the games. Once the news got out that the President and his wife would go and lobby for the city of Chicago everyone automatically assumed that Chicago would be the hands on favorite to win the bid.

I was on my way to work when I heard the report that former president of the United States, Jimmy Carter, acknowledged that some of the hardships faced by the Obama administration is much deeper than a simple disagreement. Carter believes that race may play a role in the behavior that has been displayed by many republicans.
