Do you remember the time?

A day not to forget.
Though I preferred the Michael Jackson back when he was black, in it all

A timeless icon.
You will be missed

August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009

More to come.

Wait, there is Republican Plan to save Black People??!

I was having a conversation with a good friend of mine ( who is a young black Republican, yup believe it or not they do exist). We just talked about what most young black people never talk about, politics. As the convo went on, my friend went to talk about how the Democrats, the party that sides with minority and black issues was really " trapping the community" in something about "financial bondage." Next thing I know, I'm asking a bunch of questions to get an idea of what he's talking.

From what I understand, its something like this "All the financial packages and economic subsidies given to poor only weaken them. Instead the government should work on giving people a way to stand own ther own feet instead of always depending on the government.This dependency has led the poor to remain poor." His idea is based of a main theme of the Republican party that states and individuals should have more say in their livelihoods with little goverment input.


Do I agree? Hmmm
I do find it to be something very interesting that the Republicans have yet to use it in thier efforts to gain minority interest and control gov't spending.

This is something deep.
Leading black economist Thomas Sowell speaks about the" welfare trick in black communities" .

Sweet, Delicious ..........Nike's?

Kanye West dropped the Nike Air Yeezy in early April for about $250 and people have been going crazy, is it cause of the price or cause Nike made a pair of kicks for a rapper, who knows.... but one thing for sure they're selling like hot cakes...............to see pair on the street is def a big deal. Though I'm not a big fan ( Would've ever thought College Dropout Kanye would drop $250 kicks?)


Oh back to the cake part, one of my friends, took a pic of the Air Yeezy, in CAKE FORM.


( peep the details of icing)

What Lebron has been up to.......

A lot of people were disappointed with the way " King James" reacted after the Cavs were kicked out the playoff run. Since then I've been wondering what Lebron been up to.

I guess Nike was thinking the same (Great minds think alike).

D.C Finest

It's been too long.
The whole Kobe /Lebron epic in the finals is over.
It ended with us "witnessing" Lebron leaving the last game in shame.

In the wake of all the crazy facebook statuses about the playoffs
D.C golden child, Wale, dropped the video for his leading single " Chillin".

Honestly, its sunny outside, but there's snow.

It's March already, but its still cold.
