My Thoughts on ESPN’s Rob Parker’s Comments About Robert Griffin III
Controversy and Rob Parker are no strangers to one another. The racially-charged comments by ESPN's now-suspended commentator concerning Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III's (RG3's) "blackness" raise, yet again (sigh), the decades-old question of why...
When Belief Is Not Conviction
"Belief" and "conviction" are not the same thing. The reason I believe it's not a good idea to walk out in front of the proverbial MAC truck is because I'm convicted that what I believe might happen to me actually would happen to me if, in fact, I were to do such a...
Obama’s Election IOU Means OMG for Blacks
On Friday, November 23, 2012, Yahoo!® News published an article, written by Suzanne Gamboa, entitled Black Voters Look to Leverage Their Loyalty. In the article, Gamboa quotes liberal black activists Rev. Al Sharpton and NAACP president Benjamin Jealous in expressing...

My Commentary on the 2nd Presidential Debate
Remember last night toward the end of the second presidential debate with Mitt Romney when President Obama said, "I support the free market"? Well, actually, he doesn't. In fact, in 1998, during a talk at Loyola University in Chicago, Obama stated - and I quote - "I...
The Heart (Literally) of Racism
In these days of heightened sensitivities and political correctness that has seemingly run amok, the term 'racist' is being thrown about as quickly as a child might say "Tag, you're it!" One can barely sneeze without being labeled as racist in one way or another....
The Shaping of My Conservatism
(Pictured above: Dixie Hills housing projects on the west side of Atlanta where I grew up.) There is a great misnomer among black liberals that black conservatives, simply because they are conservative, all come from privileged, well-to-do backgrounds and, as such,...
The Theology of Obamacare
