“This year's State of
the Black Union, hosted by television and radio commentator Tavis
Smiley, in Houston, Texas, was deeply disappointing. Often billed as the
national forum for discussing the issues most important to Black
America, the forum this year lacked any substantive conversation about
the divisive issues and tactics used to distract Blacks and keep us at
odds. This year's Black Union was divided into two parts: economic
empowerment, and defining the African American agenda, a continuation of
last year's conversation.

The Houston Chronicle has
a good and bad story;
too bad they only print the good |
|
Who is the Houston Chronicle trying to fool in its Sunday, March 19,
2006 Op-Ed - “TSU has a good and bad story; we must report both” by
James Campbell? When has the Chronicle ever opened itself up to real
criticism, except in a limited fashion such as its Letters to the Editor
or corrections page? A reputation once sullied by a page one story or
savaged by its op-ed page, can never be redeemed by the paper’s
controlled op-ed policy and minuscule so called correction page. The
Houston Chronicle is the only major daily in our city. It is the 500
pound gorilla that everyone is afraid to take to task.

MILDRED LOUISE KING HARRIS was raised in an era when African Americans
had bible based family values, outstanding work ethics, love for their
neighbors and a commitment to serve their community. Therefore it was
fitting that she was eulogized as a virtuous woman who delighted in
collecting friends (as much as those who treasure collecting unique and
precious objects), during the June 11, 2005 celebration of a long and
glorious life at Mt. Olive BC, 3515 Yellowstone, with Pastor Charles
Benton officiating.

Everyone of us adults have things in our lives that are on our “must do
list.” For this journalist, making sure that our masses of Black,
Hispanic and poor White people that are illegally trapped in America’s
Industrial prison complexes, are not forgotten! As a historian, the
similarities between America’s modern prisons and American slavery of
the past are too numerous not to draw comparisons. Those comparisons
start first and foremost with the architects of past slavery and modern
day prison industrial complexes – Evil White Men. The second historical
comparisons of note are the reasons behind the past long lasting United
States slave system and the present day popular ever expanding American
prison system.

PUBLISHER’S ANALYSIS

Dr.
Paige is a “slam dunk” choice to replace
a fouled out Dr. Slade |
|
Perhaps, if you’re among
African-AmericanNews &Issues’ audited estimated 2 million
readers, you will remember an article that became a controversy.
It reported that I closed the Acres Home Citizens Chamber of
Commerce’s 11th Annual Awards banquet by prophesizing, “If you
all sit around and let Rod Paige become president of TSU, it’s
going to be the end of our open admission school.” So, I wasn’t
the slightest bit surprised when Dr. Priscilla Slade started
taking fire from the same Republican controlled Board of Regents
that appointed her to ruin…oops, I mean run the school. Need I
waste space explaining why many educators in the audience
interpreted my statement to be a vendetta against Dr. Paige and
his hired gun, Terry Abbott, rather than a warning to the wise?
Even so, HISD’s high priced spin doctor helped make Dr. Paige
the first Secretary of Education, who “just happened to be
Black.”

TwiliteZone.com—I refuse to apologize
for asking an expert on “Babies Having Babies” if she told young
girls why they have periods on Houston’s City Council member
Sis. Ada Edwards’ early Sunday morning call-in talk show that’s
aired 6 - 9 a.m. on The Box (97.9 FM) radio. Hey, I thought
doctors and educators were teaching pubescent girls that
ovulation occurs when a mature egg is released from the ovary,
pushed down the fallopian tube and is available to be
fertilized. The lining of the uterus has thickened to prepare
for a fertilized egg. If no conception occurs, the uterine
lining as well as blood will be shed. The shedding of an
unfertilized egg and the uterine wall is the time of
menstruation. If they aren’t telling young lasses sexual arousal
heightens and that they’re the most vulnerable at that
particular period, who are?
