On Wednesday, Columbia University’s Center on African American Politics and Society will sponsor a public lecture, “Studying Race in the Age of Obama.� I had planned to attend the lecture; instead, I’ll be in DC. President Barack Obama, a Columbia grad, had this to say about race in, well, t...

    First Michael Steele, GOP Chairman , thought he was a bad a#@ by calling Rush Limbaugh ’ugly’ and an entertainer . Then Limbaugh called him out  and instead of holding firm as a good leader should or is expected to do particularly when he’s right he ran to Limbaugh with...

So Eric Holder thinks that we are cowards here in A-merry-ca because we don't talk openly about race. (The guy obviously doesn't ever come to this site) And of course every red blooded white A-merry-can took offense; some more than others. If you didn't happen to catch the shout fest between Pat Buc...

So now Ken Blackwell, the black Republican former Secretary Of State for Ohio, is running for RNC chair. This, with Michael Steele, makes up all the black Republicans. You might remember Blackwell for most recently trying to disqualify black voters in 2004, or for getting his butt kicked by 23% in t...

Sigh. Yet another black Republican writes lamenting the fact that her party has no interest in appealing to black people. Even before the candidacy of Obama, the GOP has made clear for several decades that it doesn’t have any interest in attracting the votes of minorities, especially blacks. I...

A local politician who happens to be a friend of mine asked me a few weeks back why I talk so much shit on my blog. "Field, I hope you know that if you ever decide to run for Judge or elected office some of that shit will come back to haunt you". He is right of course, but you know what, if keeping ...

In all likelihood, Barack Obama will be the Democratic nominee for president. He will be the first black man in history with a legitimate, decent shot at being the leader of the free world. His candidacy will cause turnout among black Americans to go off the charts and more blacks - in raw numbers a...

All day I have been listening to Winston Churchill's history of the Second World War and although it is not astonishing that I hear it, nevertheless I am braced by the extent to which I find the laxity in leadership of any modern nation capable of reducing its quality until such point that it is una...

Here I am trying to enjoy my holiday season with family and friends. And then, for some reason, (lord only knows why) I log on the Internet to see what's jumping off on the web. This of course is when I see this: An open attack and challenge to the field from one of my black re-puke-lican friends. P...
