Let's look at the track record of the causes of some major wars involving America: What we were taught about the American Revolution - It got started because the colonies, already tired of being taxed to death, got ticked off then King George imposed a tea tax. Umm, yeah, right. Yawn. The truth: After centuries of trial and error to introduce a "freedom" ideology, greedy men finally found a far away land with lots of gold in the New World to establish a secure base to build a...

It's supposed to be Christmas but as usual, more stores like Walmart and Target find products that keep the Christ out of Christmas. Yet they don't offend other religions during this holiday season. When business schools teach marketing, they teach students to reach the largest target market possible by finding common denominators. Well, a large majority of shoppers in the U.S. are Christians, yet they go against conventional business wisdom to stomp out Christ. Hmmm. I don't buy products that... (continue reading)

The Importance of Obama's Presidency

America has had 43 white male presidents in a row since the beginning.

Some of us have excelled greatly materially. So while more attention is being focused on sistas when it comes to beauty... (continue reading)

In the introductory post, I covered the guiding ideas behind establishing a network of black networks. This is a scalable approach, meaning that it is not limited to just one "civil rights leader" which was a failed idea forced on us by the "conqueror." It is no longer in our best interests to allow the conqueror to define our leadership for us.

So how do we do something better?

I mentioned in that intro post that each city needs a network of... (continue reading)

A now a quick word about the U.S. Presidency…

One of the lasting legacies of the Obama Administration is that, for a lot of us brothas and sistas in the African American community, his presidency has forced us to think about that office more than before. We may agree or disagree about the benefits of having the first black president, but one thing is clear: we need to understand the nature of the office if we are to understand the constraints within which President Obama...
