“…the detection of national White majority interests can be achieved by understanding the sources of White racial alienation that led to the development of an intellectual rationale of polices of ‘failure.’…this rationale was used as a pretext for attacks upon policies oriented toward Black group interests and on the federal government which supported them…the federal government must be weakened… Whites who control that system have always utilized their power to create a subclass of Blacks who are especially attentive to their political needs.”—Dr. Ronald Walters

Politics is widely defined as who gets what, when and how much.

The midterm elections for United States Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, and governorships scheduled for Nov. 2—whichever American political party prevails—will determine who gets what, when and how much.

The statement—Blacks don’t give money or vote—is made by people in both political parties, and some of the readers will take exception to the statement, but in my estimation, there is a degree of accuracy. Those who really do not pay attention to politics and graphics that report voting trends across this nation will say with a degree of outrage, “Blacks voted in record numbers to elect the first Black president in 2008.” Their statement is accurate, but there have been two major elections since—one in Georgia and the other in Louisiana and Black voters only voted in Georgia 14 percent and Louisiana 18 percent.

We must join the hundreds of others who publicly go on record to declare that we must stop tolerating the senseless shooting in our neighborhoods, our communities and in our city. No, this is not a new alarm. It is a revisit to the need to sound the alarm to help wake up the community to the fact that we are feeding into the minds and desires of the enemy. To paraphrase the old adage: “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. Bullets do not have eyes.”

(NNPA)—Republicans have earned a reputation for being “the party of no.” In an effort to assert there are programs and policies that they will say “yes,” the GOP issued its “Pledge to America.” The document should be renamed “The Plague on America.”

According to FactCheck.org, a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania, the GOP document “contains some dubious factual claims.” Below are excerpts from the report titled, “FactChecking The Pledge.”
