Recently, some members of South Florida's Caribbean media launched an effort to organize themselves and form a Media Association. This is a bold and commendable effort, considering that there are several obstacles that first must be overcome for any such association to be meaningful to its members and the community and to be successful as an organization. A couple years ago this attempt did not go beyond a few meetings and eventually that group disbanded without achieving any meaningful goal.

The next 7 weeks leading up to the Pennsylvania primaries is shaping up to be bloody and perhaps will totally annihilate the Democratic Party by the end. One has to wonder if this is what the Democratic leadership think is best for the party.  This can only be cut two ways - neither of which is good... the first, I'm saying skeptically, because I would hate to think that I'm right, but what the heck let's put it out there - this is the notion that this might be by design. The party itself may not be confident that a Barack Obama candidacy can carry the democratic ticket in the fall and really don't know how to put an end to the saga, without dividing the party vis a vis, turning off the massive support and rejuvination that Barack has brought to the Democratic party.

Too many Black people have been subconsciously conditioned and continue to perpetuate the notion that "White is right," as now in the case of Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton who are jockeying for the presidency. Maybe it’s the "Willie Lynch" syndrome – whereby blacks from slavery were taught to distrust each other – and only believe in their masters. It was an effective way to control slaves and this has kept blacks divided for generations.

Often times, many African-Americans vote against their own interest. They will shout "Black Power" and "Equal Rights," then when a qualified black man steps up to the plate, they want to pull the rug from under him and say he is either not qualified or not black enough. If Oprah were running for president, they would say "she's not black enough" either.
