Posted by admin in Environment, Politics, Uncategorized on May 27th, 2010
With recent spill in the Gulf of Mexico by BP still gushing, polluting the water for wildlife and fishermen alike, maybe it’s time we rethink the intelligence of drilling for oil in the ocean. Today BP is attempting what is called a “Top Kill” to stop the thousands of gallons of barrels of oil leaking into the gulf.

The Magic of Marijuana. Seriously. by Arias Williams
Posted by admin in Health and Wellness, Politics on May 21st, 2010
Here in California we stand on the precipice of a new day, a new era. No I’m not talking about the budget crisis, crime, or illegal immigration. I’m talking about the legalization of Marijuana for recreational use. Yes, you heard me right. In November 2010, Californians will have the opportunity to vote for the full legalization of Marijuana. This is a momentous occasion. Not just because, I like to partake in an occasional “herbal refreshment,” but because it represents a shift away from the demonization of cannabis– known as weed, ganja, chronic, trizzles, and I’m sure a thousand other names– towards its full acceptance by the mainstream.

I’M NOT QUITE BLINDSIDED BY WHITE PRIVILEGE (SUPREMACY) by Niki Williams
Posted by admin in Entertainment, Opinion/Commentary on May 19th, 2010
We are in a pivotal turning point in America’s obsessive fear of race.
We’re struggling to evolve past our shameful race-based history. We’re in such a rush to “move on” and “get over it” that we miss the subtle things standing in the way of true progress.
All across the media (and America’s consciousness) there are the subliminal attacks. Consider Confederate History Month, the Obama rape cartoon, the Harry “no Negro dialect” Reid conversation, and films like “The Blind Side” being obfuscated by the overt. See the spitting Tea Baggers, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. In fact, look at “The Blind Side.” The popular movie and its on-and-off screen controversy is the epitome of America’s multi-faceted race problem. I would argue that the real conversation about race is painfully nuanced and hard to pin down. Because the problem sometimes looks like Sandra Bullock, sometimes like Jesse James, and the dialogue is colored with much anger.

NAPPY MIND, HEALTHY BODY by Akeyla Aluko
Posted by admin in Health and Wellness, Opinion/Commentary on May 25th, 2010
Waking up on the wrong side of bed can be different depending on what you ate the night before. As we transform our mind, and spirit we fail to realize our mind and spirit cannot function if our body is off balance. The real issues can be solved simply by a healthy eating plan (not diet) and proper exercise daily. How can you focus in class or a meeting at work with grease clogging your veins not allowing the proper blood flow to the brain?
