DISQUS

Congrats! You have been such a help over your past two years. Now that I see you are using DISQUS I am going to have to add it to WAOD since you know what you are doing!

Y'all getting drunk up in here? Don't blog while intoxicated

Okay cynthia. We'll see. I think it trivializes his candidacy. I am not a supporter of any of the candidates at this point, this just irked me for some reason.

I did an interview on my show about Soul Planet Travel tours. Its and African American, African centered touring company that has a tour planned this summer to Brazil and later they are going to France.

I love to travel.

I agree we have to let it run its course, but I think that the folks in the editorial suites in this country should use their critical thinking caps.

I am not a conspiracy theorist or a prude, BUT, it never occurred to CNN and ABC, the possible racial undertones associated with this video?

That is all I am saying. As someone born and raised in the south, this is not harmless. That might not have been the creator's intentions, but it's not inconsequential either.

He is being Harold Ford-ed. I got $100 bucks that says this was financed by one of his opponents. It trivializes his campaign.

I think this is a trojan horse.

I think that death and regeneration are good things. I think one of the biggest mistakes African Americans make is holding on to something once its time has past. Whether that is the old preacher that should have retired 20 years ago, or institutions that are failing,magazines that are irrelevant, or organizations that are incompetent. Don't fear. something else, possibly better will replace them. This similar argument takes place when talking about gentrification. You need to energy to stave off blight and the best communities are those that constantly evolve and change. Those publications that evolve will survive. Those that do not will die. Those that do not deserve to go into extinction.
