Last night Michelle Obama delivered one of the most incredible speeches I have ever seen in a political forum as the headlining speaker of Day 1 of the Democratic National Convention. I have seen Michelle speak in person before so I already knew that she is a dynamic speaker…but there was something extra special about [...]
After the VP speculation reached a fever-pitch level over the past week, Sen. Barack Obama’s choice for Vice President has finally been made. Obama chose Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware to be his running mate and I couldn’t be more ecstatic. Joe Biden is a foreign policy expert, he has done amazing work in the [...]
CNN aired a two part documentary entitled “Black In America” over the past few days and it captured the attention of millions of people around the country…especially Black folks. So…I watched it and although I think there were some good aspects of the program…it really missed the mark on being something groundbreaking. The documentary was [...]
t’s official…Barack Obama has officially secured the number of delegates to be the Democratic nominee for the President of the United States! I couldn’t be any more proud of Barack Obama and this is a remarkable moment in the United States history. I am 25 and I neeeeeeever thought I would ever see a Black [...]
I don’t know if you guys tuned in for that disgraceful display of American so-called journalism last night in Pennsylvania…but if you did then you’re probably as pissed as I am (and millions others) about how much of a collosal waste of time it was. The media keeps manufacturing controversy to distract away from falling [...]

This speech is one for the history books. Barack Obama tackled the issue of race head on and challenged us all to look beyond our differences to form a more perfect union. United we stand, divided we fall.
Thoughts?

Here is the story:
Lt. Gov. David Paterson, who will take over as New York’s governor following Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s dramatic fall from power in a prostitution scandal, said Thursday he is ready to lead and “get New York back on track.”
Paterson takes over on Monday, and will become New York’s first black governor and the nation’s [...]
Well what do you know…just the other day I criticized Jay-Z for not lending his voice to more positive issues, and now he is robo-calling for Sen. Barack Obama! Of course my gripes didn’t cause this change, but I must say that I am incredibly pleased. He is definitely one of the more high profile [...]
Will.I.Am tapped a new group of celebrity friends to talk about why they are supporting Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign and set it to new music. This one doesn’t have the same emotional pull as “Yes We Can”, but it is fantastic to see how more and more people are jumping on board his campaign and [...]
