THE BLACK COLLEGE ATHLETE

There are some college coaches who are berating black college athletes for leaving college early to pursue lucrative, professional, sports contracts-mind you, most of these athletes were born into abject poverty...and make no money while attending college. The grating irony is that some of these same coaches who are criticizing these black athletes for leaving college early are literally making millions off these kids backs. I am a man who has a GED for a high-school diploma, yet managed to go to an accredited law school and maintained a seventy five average...coupled with what amounted to authoring a dissertation, which enabled me to graduate. I say this not to boast, but to show that I know the import of getting an education; but I would have made the same choice for the money if I too were gifted with playing football or basketball. In America, we have "March Madness," the college basketball competition, which generates billions of dollars to be shared among the competing colleges-note that over seventy percent of the athletes generating this money bonanza are black...providing monies for these colleges, most of them which never wanted blacks to attend them before the 1960's Desegregation edicts. So next time you hear and see some college coach speaking out about how terrible it is for black athletes for not staying in college, ask them if they share the millions with said black athletes that these coaches and their families so lavishly enjoy-of course, these coaches will tell you that they earned all these millions due to their coaching skills. Perhaps, we should confiscate all the monies Britney Spears, Stevie Wonder, the late Michael Jackson...and countless scores of performers, who all made millions while still children--somebody tell me the difference between these "child" entertainers and these gifted black college athletes.... There is no better understanding of George Orwell's novel, 1984, when he wrote, "freedom is slavery"...when the reader simply juxtaposed the typical black athlete disposition in these United States. Incidentally, see you next year, North Carolina (basketball team).

Seeing Israel As An Enemy

When I was a boy in Saint Kitts, I had dreams of grandeur about making it to these shores...so much so that I would pepper my grandmother to tell me what she knew of America. I recalled then she would remind me that America's greatness was divine in nature due to its assistance to Israel. It was easy for me to accept that explanation then and now, like grandma, because I too believed in traditional Christianity (See Genesis Chapter 12 and verse 3). This is apparently not the same sentiment, culled from the Divine edict or otherwise, share by President Obama. In Washington, Israel, our staunchest ally, is being treated like a devout, rabid enemy because the Israelis dare build 1,600 settlements in East Jerusalem--Imagine, someone dictating to President Obama to stop building houses in Washington, DC. That is what we are telling Israel to do because we do not want to offend the Palestinians who wants Jerusalem to be their Capital. The situation in Israel vis-a-vis the Palestinians is akin to squatters living on your land and then although you are willing to share your land...they in turn...want it all. I supposed we should give Mexico back Arizona, California, and Texas....what makes their claim to these states different to what the Palestinians are trying to do to the Jewish people. Why stop there; Russia could make a claim that selling Alaska to us for a mere six million, probably the worst real estate deal in the history of such deals, to then Secretary of State Seaward was so a bad...that they want it back. Perhaps too, the Dutch who sold America the Virgin Islands for 25 million should also reneged...citing the pittance that they received for those islands. And what of the Louisiana Purchase from the French for 15 million or so-a deal that took place because Napoleon was getting his butt kicked down in Haiti. I say to Israel do not trust the Obama Administration in this matter nor in matters of its security for it is very obvious where the administration's loyalties lie. We are told by the president that he spent 20 years in the church of Jeremiah Wright...perhaps he never read Genesis 12:3...then again, Wright preaches a bogus, perverted gospel call Liberation Theology.
