I think it’s important to again let you know how I’m connected to Kenny Gamble.  First and foremost, before I ever met him, I was a big fan of his music.  Not only did I enjoy the music immensely, I was overwhelmed by the lyrics- the message in the music. Significantly, I used to literally […]

Let me begin by saying that you don’t have to agree with me and I will probably offend many Blacks that believe that they have so-called “made it” in America.  That’s not my intention because the facts are the facts.  There are real reasons why our community isn’t making more progress than we are, and […]

MESSAGE TO THE BLACK COMMUNITY Brothers and sisters, we will NEVER be able to hold America accountable for the unbelievable wrongs that were done to our ancestors and what the current American institutions are currently doing to Black people though an orchestrated system of policies and standards that restrict and/or inhibit our ability to fully […]
