Barack Obama and the Altar of Greed
By David Michael Green
March 20, 2009 -- Barack Obama is dumber than a bag of hammers.
I never thought I'd say that about the guy. I thought he would probably disappoint me with many of his policies. I thought he would probably fail to be bold enough for his times. I thought he might miss opportunities to do great things because of his seeming desire to be Mr. Rogers, complete with cardigan. But I never expected him to be really… Continue

"April is the cruellest month,"[1] wrote T.S. Eliot in his poem, The Waste Land. This line seemed to ring true in April of 1994. On April 6, 1994, a cruel course of events would begin in Rwanda. A planned and organized massacre was executed by people across all classes from the poor subsistence farmer, to the middle class schoolmaster, local administrators, and other government officials. There have been genocides throughout human history, in continents all… Continue
"Bro. Enoch, I understand your premise & points, and while it is useful, it is not new. I would suggest, humbly, that the framing of your argument needs to be examined. First of all, there is no such thing as a "Black ruling class" in this country -- Black folks don't run anything. The experiences of Cosby with NBC, Oprah, etc., Graves at Black Enterprise, etc. make this all to clear. " Khepera
DEAR ONE AND ALL
The ruling class is all around… Continue

It has never been a literary agent's job (nor do they have the time) to give writers a page-by-page analysis of what is working or not working in a manuscript or book proposal. So, they send out various forms of rejection letters. These letters (while necessary) do not give you any idea what the real reasons are for the rejection or how to fix it.
Book publishers operate in the same manner. When I was acquiring projects as a Random House Senior Editor, I received at least 60 packages… Continue

It ain’t too much a difference between the wise and the dumb.
The wise not dumb enough to have simple minds,
And the dumb aren’t wise enough to read the signs.
Both are parallels going in opposite ways,
Usually lost causes cause they end in the same place.
And at the same time not realizing the reality
That we casually become casualties,
When we don’t focus on what’s vital in our… Continue

Ain't it a shame how females laugh when males call them ho's and
bitches... at a time when we are the richest...we've ever been, I think
it's a sin..to see young girls shake to the beat, of those degrading
rap songs...when it took so long, to get pass the "bedwarmer" phase,
and now these days, it seems we forgot... about the "sista's that
stopped..the negative images that were everywhere...does anyone
care, that the next generation may never see, females that… Continue

Big-boned , plus size, heavy-set..these are the names I get...when
I walk down the street, it's how everyone sees me,but in my eyes I'm
pleasingly plump..a little thick, Hell! no I ain't no skinny chick, but
does that mean I'm not beautiful?, does it mean I can't be the bomb...
does this extra weight take away from my charm? my upbeat
personality, my dreams..does it mean I can be a beauty queen?

It has the most important job. Wounded yet it never skips a beat. There is no gluing or stitching involved, it just continues to work, as if oblivious to attacks.
It’s a wonder and many are in awe of it. It’s the pumper of life.
Sometimes it’s carelessly handled and is crushed easily.
Many are not conscious of its fragileness. It is the holder of emotions and takes a direct hit when trampled upon.

MediaBistro's Morning Media Menu had a conversation with author Jamie Brenner about advice for writers looking to explore this newly crowded genre. An excerpt from Brenner: My first erotic novel came out two years ago. The landscape feels completely different. There is not just the hope to reach a mainstream audience with erotic novel, but the expectation that success is reaching everyone, not just the genre readers. Fifty Shades of Grey really raised the bar for that. At the same time, working…See More
