My President is Black

A black man as president something that growing up I was told was impossible, it would NEVER happen. Now in 2008 the impossible became possible. This will be marked as one of the most significant moments in African American History hands down. It gives the youths and young adults of our race an option other than becoming a professional athlete, actor, actress, or rap artist, but the possibility of becoming the president of the United States. Sure President Obama is a black man and that is great for our people but his educational background, senatorial experience, political views on issues as in the economy, war, education, taxes and many others involving the United States makes him more than qualified . I hope that people will not take for granted having a black president because as a people we have to do our parts to ensure that this decision is not looked upon as one that should be in question. We cant let this become an army of one, Obama can not do it all single handedly, it will take a united effort from our people as a whole. Lets not just be satisfied that we have a black president, let us look for more doors to open and more opportunities to explore.

If Mos Def Were President

And now a brief word from our sponsor... The election results are currently being calculated, for Senator Obama to be victorious he needs 270 electorial votes. I wont speculate on anything until its official (Who am I fooling) its looking mighty good. Remember its Obama For all Mankind.

Take a look at what Mos Def would do if he had the opportunity to become President of The United States.

We Talking Bout PRACTICE!!!


On the Eve of the 2008 Presidential Election the Denver Nuggets and Detroit Pistons make what is sad to be another blockbuster trade. One of my favorite players of all time Allen Iverson has been traded to the Pistons for Chauncey Billups, Antonio McDyess, and Cheikh Samb. Many reporters have already said that this may not be a long term deal for the Pistons, Allen Iverson will make $21 million this year and will be a free agent after the season. The trade to me gives the Pistons a better chance at possibly meeting the Boston Celtics in the eastern conference finals at seasons end. The main reason the Pistons made the move is to free up space to possibly acquire better talent in 2010, possible players include LeBron James, Chris Bosh, and DeWayne all of who's contracts will soon expire. We will see how the trade benifits or hinders each teams success for the remainder of the season. Allen Iverson is still THE ANSWER!!

The Renaissance

What Good is a Ear if a Q-TIP Aint in it!

For all those music lovers like myself make sure yall go grab that new Q-Tip cd. He's back for another go round with his first solo album in 9 years, with 12 tracks the CD is a real chill change of pace. You remember Q-Tip from A Tribe called Quest and solo cuts like VIBRANT THING and BREATHE AND STOP. The CD has some good joints including my favorites: We Fight/We Love, Believe, You, Man/Woman Boogie, Move, and Gettin Up (Check out the video) below. So go grab it, download it, burn it or however you get your tunes and you be the judge.
