The Obama Deception?????

Tuesday, March 17, 2009 by J.D. , under , ,

Andre and I have had a few posts that have acknowledged president Obama for his success so on and so forth. I purposely have been somewhat objective and left and any thoughts about coercion and corruption out of my writing on any level because that isn’t the purpose of this anthology. The Obama Deception video is rather interesting. It not so much a conspiracy theory as it is factually based information by individuals who pay close attention to detail...Assuming this video is 100% accurate, how do you feel about you government now?

KRS ONE Spits about Democracy

Krs One spits a freestyle about true democracy founded in 508 B.C. Athens by Klisthenis and the end of this "true" democracy in 322 B.C. with the conquering of Athens by Alexander of Macedon. Apparently we havent seen democracy since.

The SEVENTH Black President??!!

Sunday, March 8, 2009 by J.D. , under , ,


2009 brought monumental events, the biggest being the election of the first black or mixed president into the White House. Turns out brother Barack, lucky number 7 and not number 1. The First president of United States that was of color was none other than Thomas Jefferson. He was then followed by Andrew Jackson, Abe Lincoln, Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge, and Dwight D. Eisenhower. Why has this monumental truth gone unknown for generations? These men denounced their black heritage and went as far as to destroy any document that made these facts known. Why don’t you know this? Ask your 10th grade US History teacher.


There's a great article written by a friend of mine on his blog that goes into much deeper detail about the cultural background of these men.

Can We Really?

Tuesday, February 24, 2009 by J.D. , under


The American people saw history unfold in front of their eyes, with the election of the nations' alleged first black President Barack Obama (I say alleged because research shows that there were four presidents before Obama that were of mixed decent as well, but that also is alleged) , the crumbling of Wall Street, and brutal warfare abroad. But it is the belief of many that being Black, was the least of President Obama's concern. The corruption in America social and economic structures began to expose itself in rare form as of late. Illicit activity has gone on for years and years to enslave many and empower few. i.e. Prohibition. But these things went unusually unnoticed by the majority. People knew, but nothing was done. After listening to Obama's speech tonight, it seems like he is acknowledging these evils and actually addressing them. Maybe a change has come, because the tone of his rhetoric is almost anti-Washington. Only time will tell. As Americans we need to hold him accountable.

Breaking Down Racial Walls...

by J.D. , under










Michael Eric Dyson comments on Attorney General Eric Holders speech on race..."Despite all the bravado that hinges on talk about taking responsibility for our actions, a point that is usually hammered home when speaking about black folk taking responsibility for their problems, it seems that most Americans feel disinclined to assume responsibility for the poor state of American racial affairs."
