May 25, 2010

In wake of the Arizona illegal immigrant law, the terms “probable cause” and “reasonable suspicion” have been bandied about with respect to racial profiling. So what I would like to do in the post is to explain what these terms mean from a legal perspective, along with other “standards of proof.” You can take a [...]

When Crying Racism is Like “Crying Wolf”

May 8, 2010

I have been looking on in bewilderment at the negative reactions to the recently signed Arizona illegal immigration bill. I hear so many cries of racism from Democrats and others of the liberal persuasion, which is incredibly frustrating because as someone who is black and has experienced racism all too often, I don’t think these [...]

April 26, 2010

Today, I posted the following on my Facebook page regarding Obama’s latest misguided and racially polarizing attempt to get his constituents pumped up for the November midterm elections: So Obama wants young people, women, and minorities to help Democrats to win in November.

A Few Thoughts on Healthcare (Post Massachusetts Special Election)

January 20, 2010

Well, Scott Brown is the new duly elected Senator to Congress representing the great state of Massachusetts, running as an independently minded Republican who vowed to be the 41st vote against the healthcare bill.

Thoughts on the Movie “Avatar” and James Cameron (Not a Review!)

December 19, 2009

Last night I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a private screening of James Cameron’s new movie, Avatar. It is the first movie I have been to in probably two or three years, as I express my disdain for the tons and tons of garbage dumped into the American mind by Hollywood by refraining from [...]
