Double-standard justice violates 14th amendment |
|
 |
|
GORDON SMITH (center), unlike his
successful siblings, Andre (left) and Gerald, epitomizes the young
African American male that’s checkmated by America’s double-standard
justice system. |

PUBLISHER’S ANALYSIS
by Roy Douglas Malonson |
|
|
Bill Bennett’s statement wasn’t
“a Freudian Slip” |
|
 |
|
BILL BENNNETT stirred a
national controversy and Black America demanded an apology, but
got an explanation instead, insofar as the former Drug Czar’s
comments weren’t a Freudian slip, but a racist mindset. |

WHY YOU SHOULD
VOTE FOR ME For District B? No Hidden Interest Or Agenda |
|
Women of today wear many hats
and I am no exception. Mother, grandmother, sister, former choir director,
former Sunday school teacher, community leader, volunteer, liaison, manager
and the list seems endless. I am a native Houstonian that is a proud
graduate of Kashmere and Texas Southern University .and a life long resident
of District B. I’ve lived in 5th Ward, Texas, Kashmere Gardens, Scenic Woods
and now living in Northwood Manor last 26 years. Yes, “I’m old enough to
know how it was, young enough to appreciate how it is today” and have the
commitment and willingness to work toward a better future.

East Texas News
What did our country,
government and people learn from the tragedy of September 11, 2001
(911)? After the devastation of hurricane Katrina, I would have to say
we haven’t learned much. Homeland security, FEMA, the U.S. military, the
coast guard and the rest of the people in charge of taking care of U.S.
citizens, displayed very little professionalism in our recent American
disaster Katrina. In my mind, the color and financial condition of the
evacuees were a major factor in the rescue, evacuation, security and
stabilization of New Orleans and the other areas hit by hurricane
Katrina. Katrina was a litmus test for the United States and we
(America) failed the test with large scale bungling.

THIS BUD’S FOR
YOU
I was set to give KCOH’s
elder statesman, DJ Don Sams, a belated birthday (Sept. 30) shout-out,
when the Houston Press edition that named the station “Houston’s Best”
hit the streets, thus I can package my kudos and also salute the G. M.
Mike Petrizzo and the Program Director Travis Gardner, insofar as they
quietly work behind the scenes to make everything else works so
effectively. For Sure, Wash Allen’s (“Houston’s Best Talk Show”)
Confessions, is surely the most unique program in the nation and Michael
Harris’ Person-to-Person generates more controversy than all of the
other asinine call-in radiotalk shows combined. KCOH Radio is the oldest
black radio station in Texas. Established in 1953, KCOH began
broadcasting from downtown Houston in the M&M building. |
