What to say, what to say? I think I'll just keep it simple, and yall will seriously have to pardon me, but the mustard is definitely off the hotdog where BlackPlanet is concerned. Started out with such high hopes for a "Black Social Network", which eventually gave way for me just ardently seeking out intelligent life. "Hello? Are you out there?" (crickets) Between the "African" princesses, and the chicks with neck tattoos, I'm left questioning my own sanity as to what in the hell a brotha is still doing on here. Eh, what can I say? I'm optimistic and at the end of the day, I love my sistas in all the shapes and forms yall come in. Whether it be short or tall, light or dark, and yes even friend or foe, I love yall even if I wouldnt touch a few of yall with a ten foot pole. At times, I can be all militant and earthy kickin it from my soapbox about how sistas are the mother of civilization (they are) and at other times, I'm simply caught up on some curves. I'm a man and I dont pretend to be anything else. But I'll tell you this much there's not a person in this world that can say they've been disrepected by me (without good reason) nor is a pretty face gonna get you much further than hello. I'm looking for substance over the superficial or as I'm constantly tellin the homies...Aint nothing wrong with a$$, but you need some assets in life. And I dont mean the kind you can buy either. Not looking for anything, but also not running away from anything either. I dont view this as a dating site, but I certainly dont kick it with any dudes on here. No buddy, no way, no how. As far as any women that wanna dialogue with me or vice versa, its all about the potential. As the saying goes...people come into your life for a reason. And a new friend, a real friend, is good enough reason for me. Peace, Later, One, etc. |

John Perkins started and stopped writing Confessions of an Economic Hit Man four times over 20 years. He says he was threatened and bribed in an effort to kill the project, but after 9/11 he finally decided to go through with this expose of his former professional life. Perkins, a former chief economist at Boston strategic-consulting firm Chas. T. Main, says he was an "economic hit man" for 10 years, helping U.S. intelligence agencies and multinationals cajole and blackmail... (continue reading)
Contrary to the rosy picture of race embodied in Barack Obama's political success and Oprah Winfrey's financial success, legal scholar Alexander argues vigorously and persuasively that [w]e have not ended racial caste in America; we have merely redesigned it. Jim Crow and legal racial segregation has been replaced by mass incarceration as a system of social control (More African Americans are under correctional control today... than were enslaved in 1850). Alexander reviews... (continue reading) WHEN IT COMES TO INVESTING FOR YOUR FUTURE, THERE'S ONLY ONE SURE BET—ASSET ALLOCATION THE EASY WAY TO GET STARTED Trying to outwit the market is a bad gamble.

Health issues have always been important to human beings since the beginning of time. The earliest records of history show that knowledge of proper diet, preventative health practices, and the art of healing were held in high esteem since the time of Ancient Egypt (5,000 B.C.E. or before). Natural health concepts and healing techniques which were practiced in Ancient Egypt are now referred to as alternative medicine disciplines. They include those healing modalities which do not adhere to the... (continue reading)
