There was much emphasis on The Willie Lynch Papers in 2005, from the movie "Animal" with Jim Brown and Terrance Howard, to radio talk shows, to the Internet, newspapers and magazine articles, and if you don't know who Willie Lynch is, then what is said about you is true, you don't read.....[more]

How To Be "Drama" Free
By E. Lee Sullivan

Once I asked my father for financial help to have a root canal done. His response was "I had help, I should have kept it."

Even though he did give me the money, I understood that he is "Old School" and believes that a woman should stick a marriage out, no matter what the circumstances. ("Tina should have stayed with Ike." a quote from James Brown).....[more]

Negroes Made In America
by Lee Sullivan

Before you say you aren't a Negro I suggest you check the definition, anyway, I see them as they prioritize their energy for chasing sex and drugs instead of efforts that would lift African Americans out of the throes of modern day slavery and the fears imposed upon us by our oppressive enemies.....[more]

Are African Americans The Descendants Of Christ?
By Lee Sullivan

Recently I watched "The Secrets of the DaVinci Codes," (by the way there are two available DVD's at Blockbuster you can rent if you care to research this issue further and not just wait for the movie to come out, which I'm sure will be tainted) and saw Christ and his wife Mary of Magdalene portrayed and portraitured as white people and was compelled to write this article....[more]

Sculley and Mulder believed it, but do you?

The Internet is now being blamed for the report that questioned President Bush's service in The National Guard.

Black Relationships-Black and Ugly
By E. Lee Sullivan

There are many ways to interpret this title. Black relationships are black and ugly because of the high divorce rate among African Americans.

Are Sisters On The Down Low?
By E. Lee Sullivan

This millennium has ushered in a vast number of articles on and about a relatively new catch phrase "Down Low" or "DL", that decades old lifestyle, (if not centuries old). It's been no secret that for an awful long time men have been sleeping with other men while perpetrating a fraud that they were heterosexual. Some were even married with wives who appeared clueless. Men on the other hand, in the past, have revealed that they could spot a "closet sissy"; it's just that those conversations were "closeted"........[more]

Cynthia McKinney became one of the first members of Congress to demand a thorough investigation into the events of September 11 and responsibly asked the questions "What did this Administration know, and when did it know it about the events of September 11?"

By E. Lee Sullivan

Recently Tavis Smiley gave a commentary on The Tom Joyner Morning Radio Show, his theme was, I feel, holding the Black vote (amongst other issues).
