Dedication to the Independent Woman

Ne-Yo featuring Jaime Foxx and Fabulous, "She Got Her Own (Miss Independent Remix) is dedicated to the beautiful independent women that do for themselves! I love when Ne-Yo sings, "She's independent Queen working for her throne. I love her, cuz she got her own."

I appreciate how this song uplifts a woman that works towards her own goals. Maybe other artists will be encouraged to create songs that don't objectify women. ...

What Do You Think The Media Will Say About This?

I received this picture in my email account with the title, "A Picture You Won't See On Fox!" I wonder what they'd say if this did hit the "Masses." ...I, for one, admire a man that prays

Luda Says Obama Is Here!

Listen to the controversial song Ludacris put out about Obama. Everytime someone tries to help the Obama campaign they end up hindering the process. We need to remember that Obama is about PROGRESS and any negative imagery attempting to represent him, will damage his campaign process.




Lyrics:

I'm back on it like I just signed my record deal
yeah the best is here, the Bentley Coup paint is dripping wet, it got sex appeal
never should have hated
you never should've doubted him
with a slot in the president's iPod Obama shattered 'em
Said I handled his biz and I'm one of his favorite rappers
Well give Luda a special pardon if I'm ever in the slammer
Better yet put him in office, make me your vice president
Hillary hated on you, so that b^$&%* is irrelevant
Jesse talking slick and apologizing for what?
if you said it then you meant it how you want it have a gut!
and all you other politicians trying to hate on my man,
watch us win a majority vote in every state on my man
you can't stop what's bout to happen, we bout to make history
the first black president is destined and it's meant to be
the threats ain't fazing us, the nooses or the jokes
so get off your ass, black people, it's time to get out and vote!
paint the White House black and I'm sure that's got 'em terrified
McCain don't belong in ANY chair unless he's paralyzed
Yeah I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped
Ball up all of his speeches and I throw em like candy wrap
cause what you talking I hear nothing even relevant
and you the worst of all 43 presidents
get out and vote or the end will be near
the world is ready for change because Obama is here!
cause Obama is here
The world is ready for change because Obama is here!

More Harm Than Good?

This caricature of Obama and his wife on the cover of The New Yorker was designed to shed light on the many misconceptions Americans have during this political campaign; but for some reason it seems to add to the misconceptions. It seems nowadays racism can disguise itself in comedic satire. Click on the link to read more about the situation.
