His-Story vs. Our Story

May 6, 2012

by Alberta Parish

The greatest stories ever told have involved a human-like savior, sinless, born of a virgin-goddess, dies a martyr's death, and is resurrected from the dead as a god.

Mental Illness in Black America

April 20, 2012

by Alberta Parish

Mental illness is a subject matter that a lot of black people shy away from. Sometimes, I find that many black people act like they're scared to face the reality of mental illness among their peers, relatives, or coworkers. We tiptoe around the subject of mental illness instead of facing it head-on.

Today, Black America has the brightest people in every major industry from banking to the entertainment industry. We are the most productive…

"Trayvon wasn't the first apparent victim of vigilantism. Do you think he'll be the last? Is Stand Your Ground a bad idea whose time has come and gone?"

Monroe Anderson

 

Do you think it is right?

What should we do?

Is it fair?

Do we need?

 

Black men feel comfortable and confident to ask questions because America are not beating,…

A Street Corner in Brooklyn

Bruised cigarette butts adorn the ground,

just outside of the corner store.

Newport makes room for Marlboro.   

A carnival of cancer sticks galore.

Corona cerveza bottles lined up like domino’s, waiting to be tipped.

Young unkempt dudes and old flashy broads posted like walls along…

The New Plantation

April 12, 2012

by Alberta Parish

Each day you wake up presents a challenge. From the time your alarm clock strikes five in the morning until you walk out your front door, get in your car, and drive in to work, you’re faced with challenges. Most people if they had a choice wouldn’t rise out of bed to go to work only to be disappointed when they look at their minimal paychecks, and realize their expenses far outweighs their salaries. Most people don’t have the balls to admit they…

You and I =1

Do you know my longitude as well as you know my latitude?

My gratitude as well as my attitude?

The space within my solitude...

and the people I represent in multitudes.

Is it for me or you to choose,

or has it already been written.....these "Golden Rules".

Time will tell who wears the shoes,

who sings the blues, cause we all must pay our dues.

I use The Bible, Qur'an and internet for clues

cause I choose to hear more than my…

Soul food

My mind boggled trying to stay focused,

for I see dreams coming true, in a world no longer hopeless,

The Spirit, I hear-it so take notice,

It's within me ....n.i.n. we but as I stretched-out my hand, others closes.

People turning up there noses, standing in fake poses,

I have traveled to the North, South, East, and West coasts',

I guess trying to find peace before it decomposes,

in my life, my wife thinks I Am living on the edge and doesn't…

As the world reaches a climax of economic and social injustice, religious fanatics of every faith are busy proselytizing the existence of their own personal deity whom neither group can prove exist.
