Change by Guest Blogger Kendrick Smith

I received this from a good friend of mine, a future leader and philosopher of LIFE...please read and leave your comments...tune into WSER Sassy Entertainment Radio on Thursday, Sept. 25th @ 9PM EST...you can subscribe to the show by clicking on the RSS tab above... Greetings Friends and Family, These days it seems that the word "change" is continuosly being used in catch phrases. The question is, what is it that is going to bring about true change. Change is something that starts in the individual. It is something that must come from the inside and then work itself out.

Everyone makes a difference, every little bit helps, and that's where working as a colliective and unity plays its part. We must begin to think for ourselves and pay attenti...

The KKK Disbands: Leaves Their Job To Black Folks (satire)

Racism in America & The Jena6 Tragedy

I know that this travesty of justice has been going on for quite some time...and I have been remiss in not talking about this sooner. But it is hard for me to take in that in 2007 we still have to deal with miscarriages of justice due to racism. Its 2007 over 50 years since the beginning of the Cival Rights Movement and all that my forefathers fought and died for, we still have to defend ourselves based on our race. It is hard for me to put into words how I am feeling. My heart is hurting and as I write this my eyes are spilling over...this case should never have come to light and for those not familiar with Jena6 check out this www.jena6.blogspot.com and read more. Also don't let the fact that this is happening in another state deter you from voicing your opinion. The Jena6 blog lists various resources for one to write/call/email/fax their opionions to all parties involved...but don't stop there. I am also writing to my own governor as well as my local and state congressiona...
