We are cautioned by our black and white sisters and brothers to be careful in how we speak about racism and politics to white acquaintance. Some of these are intelligent, educated white folks who say they do not understand the black people's plight because they have struggles just as black …
Barack and Michelle Obama are the most beloved couple that has ever graced the White House. The character, honor, and discipline of Barack Obama is beyond reproach. Michelle's status as a first lady is also above reproach, as shown by her grace, intelligence and character as a wife, mother…
The world we exist in today is a sad reminder of what the prediction was of “rumors of war" in Matthew 24:6: “And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.”
Why is it that Natural Bridge Avenue – a main thoroughfare on the North Side of St. Louis, a street teaming with many places of business – is such an eyesore? There are vacant lots filled with trash, an empty filling station property prone to vagrants the homeless and debris, a vacant old Na…
The killings must stop! There is nothing on this earth that is as brutal as watching children dying. The death of young children – for children to never see the rise of the morning sun, the love in their parents’ eyes, playtime with siblings and friends or growing up – is especially heartbreaking.
St. Louis was once a beautiful thriving metropolis. with some of the most beautiful trees you would ever want to see. I have always loved trees. They are one of the many gifts that God has bestowed on us.
North St. Louis is a living testament of a city in decay. There have been five people shot in the 4000 block of Shreve and Kossuth in one night with four now dead. There was another death in the 4800 block of Kossuth and another man shot in the leg on Shreve and Anderson – all within less th…
When I look at the immigrant child – a beautiful, young, seven-year-old girl – my heart breaks. They showed her picture over and over again on the news, and I looked at that little girl and thought of my biracial granddaughter of the same age.
As a black person it seems often in this world of today that we matter less, not more, and I wonder how do we really make a difference and what is that difference all about.
There is no reasoning that can describe Donald Trump's actions. The devil has prevailed, and there is no turning back for Trump. His destiny is like a ship on a stormy sea, and whoever is in its wake goes down with him.
St. Louis city is in trouble, and the people who live in the city are in dire need of rescue. Mayor Lyda Krewson and St. Louis County Executive Steve Stenger want to make changes to our city that a lot of black people know nothing about.
I believe there are quite a few white people as well as people of color who have had enough of president Trump's racism. No president in my experience has ever been so blatant in his efforts to discredit people of color.
What a world we live in when you come to church to worship God on Sunday and are robbed getting out of your car. The pastor of your church is held captive in the church garage for fear of the robbers who are waiting outside, and the same pastor of your church holds a man in his arms and give…
Wake up, my white fellow Americans. Why are you all acting like deer who got caught in the headlights of a car?
If there is one thing that black folks need to do on Tuesday, November 6, it is to go to the polls and vote. Never mind all the issues that are going on around us; all we need to do is access the issues that we are confronted with in our day-to-day living.
Bill McClellan wrote about black youth in a very demeaning way in the Post-Dispatch. His article on the dine-and-dash IHOP incident in Clayton was a very racist article. He nor the Post-Dispatch have shown any inclination to apologize for the racist article. McClellan would have you believe …
Post-Dispatch columnist Bill McClellan responded to the dine-and-dash incident at the IHOP in Clayton by asking, “What were the cops supposed to do?” McClellan talked about a stabbing in the mall and a friend of his who wouldn't stay in this nice hotel with good food and a nice gym, all bec…
Immigrant children are a big distraction in Trump’s world at present; these are the same children Trump's people say are not coming with their parents, but being used as a hoax to help illegal immigrants to come into the country.
When I watch President Trump talk to reporters, it gives me pause to think how rude a man he is as I watch him cut the reporters off and tell them to be quiet. How respectful are you supposed to be to anyone who treats you in such a way?
I have lived in St. Louis city my entire life and have enjoyed living in this city. Although life has allowed me to travel to many beautiful places, I have always felt that St. Louis was my home.
We have Me Too, women's marches, and different organizations all defending women's rights.
President Trump will not win. His few accomplishments are grounded in deceit and compromise. His debt to God, family and society is a war within his soul, the soul of a man who has lost his way and will forfeit nothing to regain it.
It is apparent that some of us have lost our way. When you have a president in power that rules over the law of God, a man it seems that we are powerless to stop, that is saying a lot about us as human beings to allow this to happen. The morality of this man is so low until you wonder if he…
The man who sits in the White House defies all reasonable debate on the benefits of him being the head of our country. When I think of the white people who use the excuse of being the forgotten ones and voted for this man to be president, it makes me want to puke. They have placed Trump abo…
There is nothing sadder in the world than a motherless child. Donald Trump, the president of the United States, appears to be a true example of a motherless child. This man never acknowledges his mother; it’s as if she never existed.
The outcry about Snoop Dog's video showing him aiming a gun at President Donald Trump and owing him an apology seems outrageously ludicrous to me since President Donald Trump apologizes to no one.
