The heartbreak a parent feels and the teacher witnesses every year, happens when children are separated by race. As children in pre-school and early elementary grades, one sees children of all races encouraged to play together and to see one another as equal. IMO they do see each other as equals and...

TAKING ADVANTAGE OF GATES / OBAMA

One side says that Obama's team planted the question which got his "...acted stupidly" response. The other side thinks the GOP is trying to distract the nation from the health care debate. One quotable quote went something like: it's going to be the public's ignorance that kills Obamacare, not the... Sign in to see full entry.

Taking Advantage of Gates

What is socially and morally acceptable to the American public is what is in the best interest of same. Where we go wrong, as majority Americans. is failing to see where so many institutions are inherently racist. It doesn't have to be intentional. Just like the National Reading Standards. Nothing...

Another Friend Arrested in his Own Home

We have a story on the verge. It has legs and could bring down the president. Not Walter's funeral, not Obama's Insurance reform which is in trouble in the congress. Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates got home from the airport, couldn't get his front door open and called to his driver to get out... Sign in to see full entry.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE READING STANDARDS ARE FOR YOUR STATE?

Minorities make up the largest portion of the drop out rate. Minorities make up almost all of the 50% transient rate, although I have noticed in the media... Sign in to see full entry.

SEGREGATION REMEMBERED ON D-DAY

Michelle Obama, FLOTUS, is under fire for her D-Day outfit. She wore white and D-Day is supposed to be a somber memorial. UK first lady, Sarah Brown wore dark -- safe. Carla Bruni, France's first lady also wore white, or off-white. But she had a black half-coat draped around her shoulders and... Sign in to see full entry.

MLK's Dream Fulfilled?

I heard David Gergan on CNN reel off a list of ways in which the dream remains unfulfilled. Black povery, black dropout, black infant mortality rate, more blacks in prison than in college... Yet, it is true, and if you were born before 1980 you know this, that MLK brought transformation to America.... Sign in to see full entry.

Erik Holder, Next GOP Victim

What I dislike about politics is what I actually like about it. When someone is right about something, like Sam. Boy was he really right! Sam by the way, was the visitor to Detroit back in 1972, who attempted to tell the CEO's of the Big Three that they needed to redesign, go with frontwheel drive,... Sign in to see full entry.

Innaugural A Part of History, As Was the Civil Rights March on Washington

And now, as in 1968, I'm missing out on a part of history because of school. Five million Americans are expected to visit Washington, D.C.
