​Gov. Edwards has signed SB 271, a bill that will allow patients to access medical marijuana.

VOICES IN THE TEMPLE: 
​Sunday Event so Much More Than Concert

Arts & Entertainment Critic​
Picture

The moment I heard about this concert happening, I planned to write a professional, academic, artistic critique of the performance. It’s what I do. Plans make God laugh, though, because only His plans matter. There will be no critique/review in this story. So much more than just a mere concert took place last Sunday.

​All of the performers knew they were not at Carnegie Hall. They didn’t need to be. They were doing the Lord’s work. The event’s theme? “Serve the Lord with gladness: Come before his presence with singing”. Serve, they did.  Abundantly... MORE

The RNC had pledged to make outreach to black voters a priority. But as staff dedicated to the effort quit, the committee has been slow to replace them, causing black Republicans to question their commitment to the effort.

If Republicans want to grow their support with black voters in 2016, they might want to start internally.

​Over the past few months, all the D.C. members of its black outreach team quit. And the committee only... MORE

​Racist Michelle Obama Cartoon Is Just Another Example of Conservatives’ Blatant Hypocrisy

​Michelle Obama has been plagued by racist depictions since before her husband won the White House and throughout his presidency. There was the infamous cover of the New Yorker picturing the first lady as an Afro-haired, machine gun-toting militant in combat boots giving her husband a fist bump, also known as a “terrorist fist jab.”

​Fuera de Serie, a Spanish magazine, superimposed an image of Michelle Obama onto a popular 1800 French painting of an enslaved woman with her right breast exposed...MORE

​COMMENTARY: How to go Asian
Why do black people often resist alternative medicine? Even when it works.

Picture
We are off the plantation. There is a universe of information, research, anecdotal evidence, and empirical proof that Chinese Medicine has benefits, yet most of us immediately wince, “I ain’t doin’ that!”--- instead of considering the evidence, and blazing personal proofs, and investigations. Why do we choose to be stuck on “Lock” when it comes to something new?

Afrikans, and Original (Native) Americans also have medicinal practices which pre-date Western medicine by centuries. Yet we reject anything we don’t understand, immediately. Don’t we?

According to Wikipedia, “Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM; simplified Chinese: 中医; traditional Chinese: 中醫; pinyin: Zhōngyī) is a style of traditional Asian medicine informed by modern medicine but built on a foundation of more than 2,500 years of Chinese medical practice that includes various forms of herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage (tui na), exercise (qigong), and...    MORE

Racism Litmus Test: Caught on Video

Anti-Racism Activist & Educator, Jane Elliot, Speaks To White Citizens On Receiving The Same Treatment As Black Citizens

Cosby to be tried on all charges
Judge has announced that Bill Cosby will be tried on all of the criminals charges that have been brought against him. They will now go to trial.  "I want every white person in this room, who would be happy to be treated as this society in general treats our citizens, our black citizens. If you as a white person would be happy to receive the same treatment that our black citizens do in this society - please stand! 

"​You didn't understand the directions. If you white folks want to be treated the way blacks are in this society - stand! - Nobody is standing here. That says very plainly that you KNOW what's happening. You KNOW you don't want it for YOU. I want to know why YOU are so willing to accept it or to ALLOW it to happen for others?" - Jane Elliot.​
