Was Rita
Pimped?
Fear drives
America’s economy |

MANY FAMILIES found themselves on
“Highways to Nowhere” when they attempted to avoid an uninvited guest
named Rita ...that brought fear and uncertainly to Texas’ Gulf Coast
areas. |

Have you ever heard a person
say, “He (or she) can’t tell me nothing?” Usually they are
talking about somebody that they don’t like, or have much
respect for. I asked that question, because over the years I’ve
learned to respect the message, no matter who’s the messenger. |

Can
a Sleeping Giant Be Revived? |
|
Over eight months ago, battle lines were drawn
in a fight to control city government.
That heated fight ended up a huge defeat for Dallas Mayor Laura
Miller as the Black and Brown voters flexed their muscles and
sent a strong message to city hall that Dallas city government
needed no changes.

Ebenezer, Not a
Shelter, but a Transitional Home
Constable Ruben Davis of Fort
Bend County Precinct 2 held his Annual Prayer Breakfast at the Quail Run
Community Center, 16748 Quail Park, Missouri City, Texas, September 3.
“I look forward to these prayer breakfasts, because they do so much for the
community,” said Davis. “I will always hold free annual prayer breakfasts
for the community. The people get more out of the prayer than just food.”

East Texas News
Hurricane Katrina
devastated New Orleans, Mississippi and Alabama like no other natural
disaster has in our history. The people most victimized by this tragedy
have been Black people, African Americans, who have been dubbed as
“refugees” by mainstream media, when they are actually “American
evacuees!” I really and truly believe that because of the race and color
of the victims of this catastrophe, help was slow in coming and it added
to the magnitude of that deadly calamity.

THIS BUD’S FOR
YOU
As many times that I’ve
mentioned that the only time I’ve voted in my life was when I cast a
vote for Minnie Mae Ryans (Mrs. Bennie Roy), for Miss Wheatley, I still
find myself caught up in a political soap opera, that I would have to
have the wisdom of Solomon to deal with. |
