“I stated that Kony 2012 is pro-imperialism, pro-militarism propaganda. Again, here is the link to the article explaining my position. http://new-possibilities.blogspot.com/2012/03/kony-2012-is-imperialistic-propaganda.html Most of you have not provided any logical arguments refuting that assertion. Instead, many of you have resorted to ad hominem attacks. It is easy to call me “Negro pseudo intellectual” and “only a [...]

“Mayor Nutter’s City of Tough Love” by Lisa Fritsch
Posted in African-Americans, AfroSpear, AfroSphere, Flash Mobs, Lisa Fritsch, Michael Nutter, Project 21, Violence on August 15, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Op-ed submission by Project 21 Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter went where few black leaders have gone. And I think I can count those other who did on one hand. Nutter dared speak truth to action on the critical state of black youth in this country. In an address confronting increasing youth violence, Nutter plainly declared: [...]
“Trust for us” by Dr. B.B. Robinson

Op-ed submission by Project 21 There is a lot of discussion of the black community’s problems: poverty, crime, high incarceration rates and high unemployment. But there isn’t much discussion of “trust.” An absence of focus on the trust deficit in the black community obscures an unfortunate cause of many of those other topics of concern. In [...]

Op-ed submission by Project 21 Our nation’s capital exemplifies what America can become, but not in a good way. Results from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey finds abysmally high percentages of single-parent households in underprivileged neighborhoods.

Updated repost of one of my favorites. Thanks to Sister Anna for bringing it to my attention again after 3 years. I remember watching a couple of the Sherlock Holmes movies when I was a kid. I never thought much of them as the story lines didn’t really hold my interest, plus they were shown [...]

Posted in Activism, African-Americans, AfroSpear, Afrospear bloggers, AfroSphere, Black Issues, Critical Thinking, Education, Life on November 16, 2010 | 4 Comments »
Interetsing article in the Huffington Post by educator, writer and AfroSpear Googlegroup blogger: José Luis Vilson. Joel Klein’s recent resignation had an interesting alignment to a report that showed that black males in the United States aren’t doing well in this country. You’ve read the statistics. Only 12 percent of black fourth-grade boys are proficient [...]
