Part of an email I received from a friend right after Obama won:
I’m still not safe in my country … my state … my city … my county … my polling place. America has indeed spoken. On a night when so much of my history was celebrated, perhaps vindicated, so much of me was mutilated [...]

Who is Your Source?

Tonight at dinner, in my familiar seat in the breakfast room, remote to my left, and the table mats positioned so I that I don’t leave any prints on the glass table, I made a decision. Rachel Maddow, of MSNBC, was talking about the bailout, and whether it worked. In my mind, occupied by the [...]

Sean Bell, Marcus Dixon

The last few days have thrust two stories of Black men into the lime light. Both of their paths have trails reaching back, and both began with bad decisions. One has an ending that causes feelings of despair and anger, while the other sheds light to possibility and hope.

Consciousness Today: Jabbawockee or Status Quo?

While watching the season finale of MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew I learned an interesting and potent spiritual lesson. (This is not uncommon for me. I believe if I am aware and listening for good in my life, it will reveal itself everywhere).

Common Speaks Wright

The current atmosphere of today’s political amalgamation stretches the ybp in directions we’ve felt before. Our conscience and soul draws us to the transparent honesty from a candidate like Barack Obama, but our desire to blend in and ‘not make waves’ lends our ear to the often backwards rationalization offered by others regarding Rev.
