As I frequently say, I am not the sharpest knife in the
drawer. In fact I reckon I take prided
in how little I actually know. But every
now and then I am able to string together a couple a few thoughts and sentences
in such a manner to express what I honestly and truly believe and this is one
of those rare times. When it comes to economics, I am no economist but when I
read what is proposed and written by many of the “so-called’ experts...

The pulse of Black America these
days appears to be controlled by several issues, none of which have any true
impact on improving the present status quo of the African American community.
These include Cam Newton's (seemingly innocents) comment regarding route running, the
constant displeasure and anger toward President Donald Trump’s oral attacks
against multi-million dollar celebrities associated with professional sports
(namely Jemele Hill, LeBron...

Over
the past decade many have openly complained about the brutal and authoritarian political moves of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. From his alleged supplying of ISIS jihadist
in their effort to assist in the overthrow of Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad and
his helping them to smuggle oil from Iraq and Syria to world markets, to the
way in which he dealt with the failed coup attempt against him by arresting his opponents, and closing...

After a few months, it
appears that newly elected French President Emmanuel Macron is taking a page or
two or three from the Donald Trump platform as well as Trump’s display of
vanity. Like a reincarnated but taller version of Napoleon, Macron paraded into
the Palace of Versailles a while back announcing extensive new changes to the
French political establishment. Macron has broadcast that he plans to reduce the number of delegates in both the upper...

I would like to preface this by saying first, please ignore
any of the characteristics that some may consider privileged, such as being
born in and living during segregation in Memphis in the early 1960s, my IQ of
165 plus, that I speak four languages and read a fifth, and teach statistics and neuroanatomy & behavior. With this out of the way – I don’t give a grass
hopper fck about Colin Kaepernick. I do care about him as a person, as I do all
people,...

Some may or may not know that one of my favorite books of all time is 1984 written by George Orwell. To be honest, since about ten years of age, I’ve must have read this book more than 20 times. Each time I read it I come away with something new. To refresh your memory, the main character in the book is a man named Winston Smith. Smith works in the Records Department in the Ministry of Truth, where his job is to rewrite history per the desires of...

When I look at the current state of U.S. liberal democrats,
it reminds of watching a semi-cool white person on the streets of Memphis
trying to juk. They are more than out of
place, off rhythm and seemingly unaware of both, which puts them out of touch
with reality and the perspectives of others watching them. It is as if they did not learn any lessons
from the victory of Donald Trump in 2016 and like zombies, respond to only
things...

I grew up in the 1960s and although there was inherent bias
evinced in the press during that time in both print and television media
particularly regarding race, there remained objectivity when it came to
covering basic news events and stories. This was a time in which I can still
remember the folks I read in the local newspapers in my hometown in Memphis and
occasionally when I would read the Tennessean out of Nashville, Chicago Tribune
or New...
