Op-ed submission by Project 21 There were reports of babies out in the cold for hours in Houston. In Indianapolis, two dozen police officers used pepper spray to control an unruly crowd that pried shopping center doors off their hinges. These were just a few of the scenes caught on video across America as people [...]

“Silencing of the Black Conservative” by Lisa Fritsch

Op-ed submission by Project 21 Glenn Beck was more ahead of his time than I realized in 2009 when he aired his first program to prove the existence of black conservatives. Despite Beck’s assistance, we remain largely unseen on the news channels. As a black conservative advocate of how blacks should (and, in many instances, [...]
“Elite Liberal Libelers: The Modern Face of Black-on-Black Crime” By Lisa Fritsch

Op-ed submission by Project 21 Jesse Jackson, Andre Carson, Maxine Waters and Walter Fauntroy are the new face of black-on-black crime. The term “black-on-black crime” was coined in the eighties to publicize shockingly disproportionate amounts of violent crimes perpetrated within the black community. Now, instead of Bloods and Crips, the new gang threatening black neighborhoods [...]

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: [...]
“What Can the Tea Party Do to Attract Minorities?” by Emery McClendon
Posted in AfroSpear, AfroSphere, Emery McClendon, Project 21, Tea Party, U.S. Politics on March 25, 2011 | 13 Comments »
Op-ed submission by Project 21 As a tea party organizer and black man, I am often asked how a movement with the critical mission of saving and restoring our republic can attract minorities currently weak in numbers in tea party ranks. The mainstream media and civil rights lobbyists have perpetuated the myth that tea partiers have [...]
“Trust for us” by Dr. B.B. Robinson
Posted in African-Americans, AfroSpear, AfroSphere, B.B. Robinson, Critical Thinking, Project 21, Trust on February 10, 2011 | 4 Comments »
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 [...]
“The Vick Comeback: More Than Just On The Field” by Coby W. Dillard

Op-ed submission by Project 21 Stories of redemption are common. Drug addicts kick their habits to rejoin civil society; corrupt investors become charitable. But rarely is there a story of someone overcoming their demons in which people not only want to watch, but want to cheer. Michael Vick’s path to redemption could be such an occasion. [...]
