Michelle Obama says put the muffin down
Category: Opinion
(REAL TIMES MEDIA)—A couple of years ago I was in the passenger’s seat driving with a group of friends to dinner. As is often the case when you are the only single man in a car full of three single women, the conversation moves to dating, marriage and the inevitable “Who do you think is good looking?” Each side pitched names back and forth with the usual results. I say “LL Cool” and the women all coo about his chest and lips. They say “Kelita Smith” and I say Bernie Mac was the luckiest man on television.

False and detrimental definitions
Category: Opinion Written by Louis 'Hop' Kendrick
Last Saturday while in a meeting a fellow member asked me how could I ever vote for any Republican candidate, because all Republicans are conservative and dislike Blacks, and all Democrats are liberal and go that extra mile to improve the quality of life for Blacks. Ridiculous false statements such as this have proven to be detrimental to the growth of all people. The following are perfect examples of false and detrimental definitions.

HBO’s lily white world war
Category: Opinion Written by Harry C. Alford
(NNPA)—Cable television’s largest movie channel, HBO, has proudly shown two fictitious (they want you to believe it is a documentary) classics about World War II. “Band of Brothers” dealt with the European Theater and now “Pacific” is portraying the battles of the Pacific from a very racist point of view. Despite the fact that hundreds of thousands of African-Americans gave their blood, sweat and tears to this noble challenge these shows are void of any Black participation.
That is just one big lie! A lie that is racist to the core and we must call them out. They are trying to rewrite history to the detriment of Black legacy and pride and that is more than sinful. It is a crime.
