EYE was in the second grade on 11.22.1963 when the principal announced over the intercom President Kennedy had been shot. I didn't find out he died until I got home. The days that followed were very sad, I remember feeling sorry for Carolyn, John John, and Jackie Kennedy. I also remember being  afraid for the leaders who tried to help African Americans. Sure enough, then came the assassinations of Martin Luther King,Jr, and Robert Kennedy . 

My ancestors lived through 400 years of torture/slavery, my generation lived through domestic terrorism/Jim Crow, my children are living through Trayvon Martin, Sean Bell, Oscar Grant, Jordan Russell Davis,Renisha McBride and other victims of senseless violence.

First Donald Trump came for the Muslims

The GOP is at a crossroads that will define its party for years. They can nominate Trump, a man who has demonized American minority groups, or choose someone who truly embraces American values. But if Trump is the Republican presidential nominee in 2016, they will have made it clear to America that the Grand Old Party is no longer the party of Lincoln, but the party of hate.

You think? 

What ever happened to the 5 W's? You know...Who, What, When, Where and Why?

APB. Here's the guy who asked Trump the question. Can we please find him, America? NH media? pic.twitter.com/k1xhHVXBrF

This is the  media we have instead of the media we wish we had.

I'm confused. Fox calls itself "The Most Powerful Name in News." Halperin's breakthrough book, Game Change, was praised as "a marvel of reporting," and Halperin and coauthor John Heilemann were said to "have an uncanny ability to get scoops other reporters don't."
So, um, if Halperin and Fox are such powerful news gatherers, such "uncanny" scoop-getters, why don't they know who this guy is?

Is it because discovering who he is would involve actual, y'know, reporting?

I Wish Y'all Compassionate, Conservative, Christians, Would Make Up Y'all's Doggone Minds!

Obama's Pastor:  God Damn America, U.S. to Blame for 9/11 ABC News

Either President Obama is a Christian who sat in Reverend Jeremiah Wrights' Trinity United Church of Christ for 20 years, or he is a Muslim who sat in Reverend Jeremiah Wrights Trinity United Church of Christ for 20 years.    Y'all can't have it both ways.

If then candidate Obama was made to denounce, repudiate and reject, Minister Louis Farrakhan's endorsement , shouldn't the republican Presidential candidates, and other high profile republicans,  be made to renounce,repudiate and reject Rush Limbaugh and others??   I'm just asking....

Psst!  Everybody knows Aborigines, I mean,  Muslim is The New "N" Word.

Most Alabama/Mississippi Voters refuse to believe President Obama is a Christian

I wonder why? 

Maybe it's because they ride around in their pick up trucks listening to a steady stream of News Talk all day, then go home and watch Faux News all night.

Maybe it's because elected officials haven't seen his birth certificate.

Maybe it's because Ronald Regan repealed the Fairness Doctrine.

Maybe it's because Bill Clinton signed the Media Consolidation Act.

Maybe it's because the media is liberal.

Maybe it's because Alabama is # 1 in education.

Maybe it's because the public airways are being used to mis inform the uninformed.

Maybe it's because of the lack of diversity in the mainstream media.

Maybe it's  the Media  making us Stupid Part II.

Attention White People....You can NOT use the N word

You just can't.  I don't know why it's so hard for some of you to understand why black folks can use the N word but  you can't, but let me see if I can break it down for you.

The N word is a noun in the English lexicon used by white peoples as an ethnic slur  to describe black people.

The N word is a noun in the English lexicon used by black people to describe each other, negatively or positively.

The word these days basically is equal to "guy", "man", or "dude." At least that's how *I* think of it. For example, rarely will you see girls referred to as n**gas. Only males are called this. Then there's a broader use of the word where it simply means "a black person." I think this use of the word was common during slavery, it wasn't considered offensive. Even after slavery ended, blacks still referred to each other as n*** because they were used to the word. Of course, since this word was common during slavery, some racists began to use to word to mean "slave" or "inferior person." Anyway, it's generally assumed that when a white person says it, they are trying to be rude or insult the person. That's why some people get offended. I don't buy into the whole "trying to take a bad word and make it good" idea. If that were the case, then why don't they call themselves other racist names? After all, there are numerous insulting names for people of African descent, yet n*** is the only word used. It's hard to get a group of people to stop using a word that they've been using it for so long. That would be like trying to get Australians to stop saying "mate."

Here is a list of acceptable nouns you can use as code for the N word.

Muslim
Socialist
Radical Islam
Buffoon
Idiot
Moron

Feel free to use the N word  if you so choose, but remember there may be consequences  for doing so.

Any questions?
