Fewer Than Half of Black Males Graduate on Time

This is not shocking, it is extremely sad and disturbing. Black men have many unique obstacles placed before us that directly impacts the completion of our education. Despite those challenges a “learning” environment needs to be created for a boy child from a very early age. Read to that child, have the child read to you. Do not let the television or video games be their instrument of learning, let a book do that. Our community watches more than double the television than other communities in America. Be active in your child’s school. Monitor and look over their homework. Instill the expectation of academic excellence in your child. It all begins with the parents.

Dads Show Influence On School’s 1st Day

This was a FANTASTIC movement in Omaha, NE yesterday. Men need to be present, active, and responsible in children’s lives. Other towns and cities can duplicate this event around the nation and send a message, not just to children but to other men who are not living up to the standards and requirements of manhood.

D’Angelo, David Sanborn, Eric Clapton, & Marcus Miller- Use Me

This is REAL R&B! No electronic trickery. Just like back in the day! D’Angelo did drop a CD of oldies I put my hands on a few months back. It hasn’t been promoted or has really gotten any play from radio. This is what we need more of today. Real singers, Real music. You can spot Eric Clapton & Marcus Miller in the band. That tells you about the musical talent of D’Angelo. Enjoy & savor this one!!

Glenn Beck On 99ers: ‘Some Of These People, I Bet You’d Be Ashamed To Call Them Americans’

While there maybe some person’s who are abusing unemployment insurance benefits, I believe that the comments made by Mr. Beck are wholly insensitive to the plight of persons who are unemployed. When was the last time Mr. Beck was unemployed? How long has it been since Mr. Beck had to make ends meet and robbed Peter to pay Paul? Yes, there is more job seekers than jobs but employers have not been making job searching any easier. Employers are asking for college degrees to do custodial work, 5 years experience just to be a department store cashier, and openly requiring applicants to be presently employed for consideration for a job. The goal is to find the best suited candidate and employers are being so selective and restrictive to the point of being biased. Think before speaking Mr. Beck and have some sensitivity unemployment is tearing the fabric of everyday America and its families. A group of people you are obviously out of touch with.

I had a Sonic when they first came out. I liked the sensation and freshness in my mouth when using it. Now I am using a spinbrush and after reading this may switch back. In fact, I may just buy my first water pik!
