Black History Month: Congratulations Barack Obama



Greetings from the land of artikleblak.
Well America, America has spoken!!!!!!!!!!!!
The last time I blogged was on the eve of the Presidential election and it looks like my prediction was right on the money honey.

THE 44TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, MR. BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.
And what a beautiful First Family!!!

Paint it black, paint it!!!! lololol…

The morning of the inauguration I was in tears. I watching history unfold in realtime, alone and in solace. When the Queen of Soul sang I had tears in my eyes.
One a moment. A moment in time I was alive to witness. Amazing America. Amazing!

Now it is time to get to work and assist in anyway we can to repair the despair the Bush years left behind.

I believe our new president is up to the challenge. He has an amazing supporting cast for the most part.
If there any more folks who missed or messed up the taxes, they gotta, gotta go!
Sorry Daschle, u f%cked up! And there is no place in the “O Team” for such stupid doings.

Wow is feels amazingly good to turn on CNN and hear the commentators say “Today President Obama…….” Sooooooooooooooooooooo amazing for all Americans!
And a touch more overwhelming to Black folks here and around the world!

Obamania is sweeping the globe and rightly so.
This man understands people. Whether they are White or Black or Muslim or Asian or poor or any and everything else, because he is much of all these.
So he is empathetic because it runs through his veins.

Sarah Palin for VP, 47 day till election


Greetings from artikleblak’s little corner of the world.
Been workin, workin, workin.
These gas prices are no fukin joke!

47 days till the November election and I am forecasting a slight Sarah Palin trainwreck.

I respect her as a woman, mother, wife and governor.

However I think her views are to extreme for most Americans, once they stop, look and listen.

With her not knowing the “Bush Doctrine” and running for the vice presidency of the United States of America, should speak volumes!!!

If they win, God forbid something happens to John McCain.
The United States is not Wasila, nor is it AK.
And I don’t think she would be prepared to take the reins of the Whitehouse.

As for Barack. FINALLY!!! Showin some fight, some get tuff with these mf Repubs!!

If u have to…..bring out a little bite of the Southside of the Chi……

47 days and counting.

Any and everyone has to ask themselves, ” What am I gonna do the be part of this historical presidential election?

Hey Sarah! “Toot toot, I hear a train a coming………..”

Peace and Obama-grease,

GOP St. Paul, Republican Convention,Country First


Well the GOP in St.Paul so far has me tripping!

Country First, war war, terrorism, more war, war heros, patriots, apple pie and bullshit!

In 2004 these folks made war heros out to be zeros.

Hypocrites to the max.

And I think I only saw one Black face, besides the former NFL widereceiver Lynn Swann.

Are you kidding me? I guess Lynn is running for some polical office? Good luck.

Don’t get me wrong. But this fuking GOP party seemed like a modern day klan event.

I was almost suprised they were wavin flags and not burning crosses! lololol…

It just didn’t connect with me and don’t think it was intended to.

Barack. I think u need to do some talkin to Mr. Thompson.

The intro video was a prime example of the minds of these folks.

They hooted and hollared for Reagan and Bush I, however MLK and Rosa Parks didn’t get a peep of an applause.

Shit. They are sooooooooooooooo outta touch, some of them, that they may have been dazed and confused and thought to themselves, ” Who’s this kinda Black woman on a bus?”

My point is.

The GOP is not about the people, they are about their people.

Country first, my ass!!!!!

GOP last!!!!!!!!

Well he did it! We did it!

Reflecting back on the nomination the other evening and Hillary Clinton’s “Get out of the race” speech, I am walking proudly down the streets of Los Angeles, head held high and attitude of “Yes I can”!

America is finally gettin shit right. It is about time!

We will see what happens is November.

Well folks vote for a Black man once they enter the voting booths across America?

We will see.

What is unfortunate is I have to talk about this in light of race. However I gotta remind folks this country was founded and built on race and the backs of Black slaves!

And the powers that be are gonna do anything they can to derail this truly American Dream which Martin Luther King Jr. spoke so eloquently about over 40 years ago.

So yes this is somewhat about race, the plight of the Black Man. But more importantly the awakening of the American spirit!

God bless and protect Mr. Barack Obama and his family.

paz,

NBA| Does the NBA really care?

Check out this following article from a company called Countdown Apparel

If you’ve ever heard and believed the National Basketball Association slogan, “NBA Cares,” it’s time to think again. Today, ask yourself this: “Exactly what does the NBA care about?”

It certainly isn’t the National Basketball Retired Players Association, a collection of more than 700 men upon whose backs the league built itself into a multi-billion dollar empire. If this statement makes you curious, here’s a few facts:

Did you know the NBA only gives the NBRPA a grand total of $1 million dollars annually in assistance?

Now, subtract from that million dollars about $250,000 for the NBRPA’s staff, plus nearly $7,000 each month to rent and maintain a New York office.

Subtract the cost of an annual reunion for the retired stars.

Subtract $75,000 for educational scholarships the foundation bequeaths annually to former players and their families.

Subtract payments doled out to players of yesteryear in medical hardship situations.

Now, what do you have? Nothing.

Countdown Apparel contacted the NBA before the start of the Finals with an offer to create products that would give the NBA a new revenue stream that could potentially provide millions of dollars for their retired players. While it is understandable that such decisions take time, what is unacceptable is the fact there was no answer at all.

Aristide Return to Haiti, Return to Haiti Aristide, Haiti Food Riots


Haitians have taken to the street over the past couple of weeks, rioting over the increase in cost of food. Foodstuff they can barely afford at normal prices.

They voted the Prime Minister Jacques Edouard Alexis out of office and it looks as if President Rene Preval will soon follow.

I say return the Man from the slum of La Saline, President Jean-Betrand Aristide back to the presidency of Haiti.

He was kidnapped and removed in 2004 with the covert assistance of our US government.

“A miraculous Aristide comeback would not be unprecedented. Aristide became popular as a priest in the slum of La Saline, and was elected president in 1990. Ousted in a military coup the following year, U.S. troops restored him to the presidential palace in 1994.” yahoo.com news

I predict if the people of Haiti continue to demand Aristide’s return, he will return soon.

God bless the people of Haiti.

Obama tanktop womens

Keep your eyes open for more Obama tees and Obama tanks to come soon!!!!

I believe Obama is the truth. That he is a breath of fresh air. That we are living an experience which our forefathers and mothers witnessed in the 60’s!  However this is on a much grander scale!

It’s Black American folks in SC. It is small town White American folks in Idaho and Wyoming. It’s Latino Americans in Texas and California, along with Asian Americans.  Its Native Americans.

What is the common denominator in all this, do you ask?

AMERICANS. AMERICANS. AMERICANS. ONE LAND AMERICA, ONE UNITY, ONE LOVE.

YES WE CAN. AND YOU SHALL  BE!!!!!!
