    Unlike Dr. King, Obama is Not Black

    It's ironic America's first black president, who has done nothing but further polarize race relations in this country, would use the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington to reflect on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy. President Barack Obama isn't worthy of clinging to King's coat tails much less elevating himself to same stratosphere of King.

    Who Cares What Jay Z Thinks and Why Don Lemon Is Right About Blacks in America

    First Lady 'Doesn't Do' Hecklers Well

    There's a song that says, "don't let it go to your head, no." Perhaps First Lady Michelle Obama and President Obama should listen to its lyrics. It seems America's first black president -- as well as his wife -- have gotten so used to the coddling from the mainstream media that they believe they're above criticism or heckling.

    Obama Got 'Black' at Morehouse But Didn't Speak the Truth

    Wow, after five years of his loyal constituents supporting him and receiving nothing in return, it was nice to see President Obama address this year's all black male Morehouse College graduates. Equally surprising during his Morehouse commencement address, Obama referred to himself "as a black man like you" something he rarely, if ever has done.

  • Advice to Rubio Spokesperson: An Illegal Immigrant Isn't A Slave

    Enough with Republicans invoking analogies to slavery and plantations to make their case for conservative policies or attract minority voters. News flash: it doesn't work! Not only is it offensive and distasteful but also shows a complete disregard for an AWFUL, painful part of our US history.

    GOP Black Outreach: Pics with Actress Stacey Dash Do Little to Attract Minorities

    While RNC Chairman Reince Priebus has done nothing, I repeat nothing, but talk for six months about how he's going to attract more minority voters to the party, he thought he would keep up the charade at the RNC's spring meeting in Los Angeles.

  • Auditioning for Stardom: President Obama and the First Lady

    The Obama's think they're celebrities instead of public servants. They appear on late night talk shows, shaking their booty and crooning slow jams with Jimmy Fallon, luxuriating in fundraisers with Hollywood's elite, golfing with Tiger and of course presenting Oscars. By the looks of it, President Obama and the First Lady seem to enjoy mingling with celebrities more than doing the jobs they're supposed to.
