Confession Of A Cheater

A confession I must make.  They say confession is good for the Soul, so I'll just dive into it.  No more hiding, the world really may end tomorrow, I better put this out there and let the world know the truth about myself. 

To just put it bluntly, I'm a cheater.  There.  I said it.  I got it out.  I am a cheater. I have cheated on every woman I have had an intimate relatonship with.  Intimate.  Not necesaarily a sexual relationship as intimate may imply, but close to them.  I have spent a lot of time with her, she knows me.  She knows me kinda like my mother knows me.  I'm not sure how we met, but I have known her for a very long time.  In fact I have known her longer than I've known any woman in my life with the exception of my mother.  I've even wondered if I've known her before my mother.  But, maybe not.  Either way, I have brought her into every relationship I have had. 

Maybe, it's wrong to have this relationship that I've always had but, never divulging how deeply I am involved.

There has always been this other.  Is it necessary to know her name? Really?  I don't see why that's important.  If you must know her name is Marti...  Wait, wait.  You can't speak with her.  So, why do you have to know her name?  Alright,  Marti...Marti.  Ok, ok.  MARTIAL ARTS!!!  Internal Martial Arts to be exact.  So now you know. Yes, martial arts is a love.  It's a passion.  It's a study.  It's scholarship.  It's meditation and prayer.  It's breath. 

I would like to introduce you to her through the words of Sifu Roberto Sharpe.  I hope you won't mind.

Honors and Peace to my Sifu Tony Whiting.

The Rebirth Of Black Radio

Glen Ford of the Black Agenda Report often laments the death of Black radio.  Most radio stations today are owned by huge corporations such as CBS/Viacom, Gannett, Clear Channel and Radio One.  I know, you say Radio one is a Black owned company, owned and operated by Kathy Hughes.  However, in today's climate Mrs. Hughes must play on the same field as the other larger corporations.  The field is daunting.  Just take note that NBC is owned by General Electric and I have already mentioned Viacom.  This leaves little room for Radio One to act all uppity and still maintain a presence on the air.   Kathy Hughes must maintain a position not too dissimilar of that of Oprah Winfrey, or even President Obama.  Be Black, but don't get too Black.  

Just as the Black Blogsphere is holding strong as a voice crying in the wilderness, so too Black internet radio is increasingly filling the void left when Black owned stations were replaced with "urban" radio.  "Urban" radio is the equivalent of the minstrels of the past.  Black faces and voices airing the agenda of non Black people.  Airing an agenda of mediocrity.  Much like the infamous and much maligned statement of a mentally deteriorated Rodney King at the beginning of the L.A. Rebellion "can't we all just get along?"

But, there is a re-emergence of true Black radio.  Radio that addresses the concerns of Black people on the next evolutionary level of where we MUST go.  Radio that concerns issues of Black people and really the population in general.  Internet radio is providing the stage for the return of Black radio.  Radio similar to that which emerged during the tribulation of the 1950's and 1960's that sought to educate, inspire and uplift.  You will not find this on your AM or FM dial (with the exception of WRFG 89.3 Atlanta.)  Just as it is with the strength of the growing Black blogsphere, so too is internet radio emerging as a force.

Listening to programs like Know The Ledge Radio hosted by the Twin Pillars, the Blue Pill and The Red Pill.  The Moreland twins have been like a breath of spring air.  These brothas host one of the most prolific programs on the internet.  Not only is Know The Ledge Radio entertaining, lively and very well balanced, it's one of the most informative programs on the internet, with guest such as Dr. Sebi, Dr. Phil Valentine, Annette Thomas, Bro. A.A. Rashid and one of my favorite programs with Minister Enki.

For serious astute intellectual information on finance, politics and history, RDB radio featuring Dr. Torrence Stephens and his co-host Kelso in Panama City, Panama is fantastic and explore the power of world wide radio.  Packed with down to Earth knowledge, wisdom, Rawdawg Buffalo Radio is replete with what we need to survive the coming storm.  Last, but certainly not least, I must mention Center Stage Radio bringing guest like Dick Gregory, Lindsey Williams and many more.  Black radio is re-emerging along with the Black press currently called the Black blogsphere to bring you, lets not say the alternative but, truth to be told as it should be.  There are many more I could list, but if you should visit these programs you will find the rest.  Let's support the new Black radio and Black press, this is our greatest weapon to combat the ignorance we see and hear daily.

Osama Bin Laden Killed A Week Ago?

For 12 days I took in no solid food of any type.  Including that I wrote nothing.  I guess I needed a little break from the keyboard.  Surely, I have enough in my mind just dying to come out, and it will.  However, the news broke in this evening at about 10:30 on the East coast screaming that Bin Laden has been killed.  President Obama's ramped up, but quiet pursuit of the terrorist madman has paid off if we believe the "news" agencies.  First report stated that Bin Laden had been killed when an unmanned aircraft (drones) fired missiles killing 25 men and Bin Laden was believed to have been one of the 25 killed.  Shortly after, the next report said JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command) troops went into Pakistan and raided a compound killing Osama Bin laden with one shot to the head.  Just in case you don't know, JSOC teams are a joint team of Navy Seals and Army Rangers.  Their specialty, is close combat within 50 to 100 yards. 

But, wait a minute!  Didn't Fox News report Bin Laden was dead way back when?  Like December, 2001? Or What about the French reporting Bin Laden was dead in 2006?

Or maybe Benazir Bhutto was just speaking out the side of her neck when she said Bin Laden had been murdered by Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh in November 2007.

Yeah, well, who's telling the truth?  Bhutto was killed in December 2007.  So, tonight candidate president Obama has shocked those who can be shocked with the news that JSOC has killed Bin Laden.  You decide!
