Redeye's Front Page: Cornel West on Bernie Sanders, Michael Eric Dyson, Trans Rights, and B.B. King

Welcome to Redeye's Front Page!

I didn't plan or want to start this blog. For three years years I had the privilege and honor of being a front pager at Left in Alabama. Friday, November 13,2009 was my unlucky day because my privileges were revoked. Prior to my privileges being revoked I was constantly being advised how to write, what to write, and finally informed if I wanted freedom of speech I needed to start my own blog.

Since I have been *ahem* banned from a total of 4 forums it's a good thing I have my own blog. Billie Holiday sang God bless the child that has his own", and to quote Ellen Moody, freedom of the press belongs to the woman that has one", so here I am.

I didn't leave Left in Alabama, Left in Alabama left me, literally. Despite sincere, begging and groveling I am not allowed to express my opinions there, and that's a pity since it's supposed to be the blog of record for progressive, informed, democrats, but the Righty's have more privileges.

I don't have any illusions as to my "influence" or importance in the world, but I love my country, and in my own way I hope to make a difference because I want to make this world we live in a better place for everyone.

This sandbox is a blog for progressive politics, ideas, and current events. I encourage and welcome your comments, criticism, debate, and discussion. I only ask you to refrain from personal attacks, insults, and name calling of fellow bloggers. Attack the issue(s) not the person. Tolerant people can agree to disagree without being disagreeable.

If you want to know more about me, where I stand and what I stand for I invite you to read my writings at Left in Alabama for a historical perspective.
