Black History Month – Not Just History For History Sake

Dr. Carter G. Woodson, Educator, Entrepreneur, Author and Activist, created "Negro History Week" (now known as Black History Month) for the purpose instilling in Blacks a true value of self based in a real and accurate study of Black Life and History. He believe that if Black students were raised up and educated in an environment that taught the significant Black contributions to the civilized world, (in the areas of economics, politics, government, science, mathematics as well as the Arts), that it would not only create in them a love for self and kind, but that it would also make them better citizens. Dr. Woodson in "The Mis-Education of the Negro" showed that Blacks were not educated to be citizens, they were mis-educated to be tools of service to his once slave master. Therefore the B...

If Racism Is the Sin of White America, Irresponsibility Is the Sin of Black America

There is always a sense of safety when we blame someone even if we are the ones on the wrong. Blame game is usually a self-protective response which is normally aimed at protecting our under-performance. Humans use it to shield themselves from repercussion. Considering the above definition, will I be justified to say that one of the plagues eating America is blame game? The whites are pointing their fingers at blacks while blacks are pointing at whites. Because of this counterproductive approach to sensitive matters, the bridge between white and black Americans continue to widen every other day. Surely, if racism is the sin of White America, irresponsibility is the sin of Black America. The Revolutionary war in 1770s gave the nation a chance to reach for independence and freedom. The rea...

Why Black Wealth Barely Exists

Blacks Americans were industrious opening factories and small businesses perfecting crafts right out of slavery. Forced to work amongst each other and do business with each other, this environment created an atmosphere where a self-sustaining community could be created and prosper. Fast forward pas...

Pranksters Change Hollywood Sign To “Hollyweed”

Some pranksters kicked the New Year off to a hilarious start by changing the famous Hollywood sign to “Hollyweed.”The change was only temporary though, as the unidentified pranksters covered the signs’ two letters “O” with tarps that made them look like lower case “E”s (genius!!). Authorities are investigating the prank as a misdemeanor trespassing, which was most likely triggered by California’s legalization of marijuana in November.
