As soon as we took the picture she shouted "Money!" Money! This is what the Chinese woman shouted at us after we took her picture. She was working in the rice paddies and she wanted us to pay her after we took her photograph. No one did, but this was only because she was too far away to get to us before we jumped into our buses and drove away. Her neighbors beat her to it though. Some of them followed us all the way there, others were waiting just for an opportunity to pose for unsu... Read Full Story

Ruling with empathy. Since when is that a negative. The GOP has finally gone mad and shown their true colors by condemning the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court.  The woman is a moderate at best and has ruled against using public funds to support abortion yet they rail against her and call her a racist. Of course her experience as a female latina from the Bronx is richer than that of a white man without similar experiences. For saying this, they call her a racist. The attorne... Read Full Story

It comes like a thief in the night. But all along it’s been watching and waiting in silent envy for the right moment to pounce. Control is like a drug, some people need it to survive, but the same people hate to be in its arms. Here we go again, we danced this tango many moons ago, now do you think I will willingly be locked in this embrace. I fought you before and won, and I will again!! Read Full Story

As an international student, I could not completely identify with the euphoria of SC State students when Barack Obama was announced the projected winner of the 2008 elections. I was happy that Barack Obama won and I understood the historic significance theoretically, but I was used to black Presidents[In Trinidad and Tobago] so I did not jump out of my skin when I heard the news. In fact, election day was the first time I even heard the song “My President iz Black.” No I don’... Read Full Story

Are Muslims the new Negroes? Gone are the days of cartoons like “The Coon” that presented powerful and damaging images of African Americans as lazy, stupid and even dangerous, to advance the anti-freedom movement. Now we are faced with the controversial New Yorker cover, which portrays the new “Black Messiah” and his wife as Anti-American Muslim terrorists. To many people the term “Muslim Terrorists” is redundant. The two have been synonymous ever since 9... Read Full Story

Does Obama Really Identify with Black People?   Sen. Barack Obama launched his first post primary commercial on June 20, without saying the words “Hope and Change” even once throughout the message.   The commercial entitled “The Country I Love,” aired in 18 states and has been dubbed as Obama’s “Reintroduction to Voters,” by The Washington Post.   In his message, Obama departs from his usual “Hope and Change” rhetoric but still maintains the sentimentality that won him mass appeal by showing...

First let me clarify what I mean by mad.  I’m talking about all those complicated women like extreme neat freaks, germa-phobes, wheight-aphobes or just women with weird hang ups. Let’s not leave out the high maintenance women in this definition either. You all know these women and you know there not single. I’ve been developing this theory in my head for some time but always rejected the notion that women have to play games like Vivica Fox in the movie Two can Play at That Game until... Read Full Story

Satan’s manifestation of his loathing of God and the human race is revealed in what is his finest accomplishment to date. Satan hates us so much that not only does he devise a plan to kill millions of us but he has also found a way to convince even educated men and women that “reproductive freedom” or “a woman’s right to choose,” is a positive and rational action. I think his cleverest marketing strategy to date is the use of the American public, even those who are God fearing, to support tho... Read Full Story

Well they finally got her. The world still cannot beleive it. Over several months the the world watched you. A beautiful woman with the balls to stand up against the freaking Taliban, the Pakistani President and all those Islamic extremists who oppose democracy.

No way would they let a democrat rule fa... Read Full Story
