Because I'm kind of speechless. Wow. I've always felt like it was kind of a blessing to be born into the world at the time I was, to be present during this time in history (to see these last dayz ). But to actually bear witness and have had a hand in the election of the first American of African descent in history to the Presidency of the United States, that's something. I will gladly eat some crow on this one (though I won't be running thru downtown Philly au natural ) because I admit I did not think it was possible. I thought the influence of this nation's past was still to strong on it's psyche to handle seeing a black man as POTUS . Still to much prejudice and racism, overt and hidden. But obviously I was wrong. This nation is capable of much more than I thought. Perhaps it's finally living up to it's declared belief that all men are created equal. I voted early, last week so I approached today with a matter-of-fact type of attitude (partly...

Get used to this

Today's loss to the Vikings doesn't hurt quite as much as the feeling after the loss in the NFC Championship game pictured here, but it's still tough to swallow. And we'll be seeing a lot more of this for the rest of the season if the Packers, or maybe more specifically Ted Thompson, can't find a way to shore up this collapsed run defense. Our opponents have us figured out, they know the formula for beating this team. Just keep running the ball and play defense. If it's close at the end just make sure you have the last possession and run it down their throats for the win. It sounds too simple, but that is how the defense is getting played lately even while consistently generating turnovers. In terms of close games that end in heartbreaking losses yet to be experienced this season I fear this is but the tip of the iceberg.

The one and only . . .

I am African-American by descent, native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I had a very sheltered childhood. Thru high school most of my closest friends were white. I attended college at Tennessee State University, a HBCU in Nashville, Tennessee. Those were some very formative years for me. The people I met and things I experienced during my time (about 10 years) in the Dirty Bend did a lot to shape and influence the opinions I have today. From the day long blunt smoking to the from-dusk-to-dawn debates with my roommates about politics, religion, and world history. Just a little personal background that might help you understand my first impressions when I, as a last minute whim, attended a lecture at Fisk University given by a Mr. Steve Cokely . I remember the title of the lecture was what grabbed my little clique's attention, something like Black America and The Boule ' (Servants to the King). We sat down in the back and proceeded to be blown away by the volume of information flowing ...
