Happy Independence? Day

This status made me really curious about what today actually means to Black people. Is it just another day off? I have my own reservations about this holiday however I will mark UBSA's independence by showcasing our summer video... WE REP.



Feedback would be appreciated ...

In + Black News

Kimberly Anyadike, a 15-year-old pilot will attempt to become the youngest black female to pilot an airplane transcontinentally. She took off from Compton Airport for Newport News, Va. at about 7 a.m., Monday and is expected to arrive July 4.


Kimberly is proof that when resources are allocated, and dreams are perpetuated (quote me). Kimberly is already an example to little black girls throughout the land whether or not she breaks this record so I'd like to wish her a safe and sound trip.

That's what's up!!

The Continuation

The History in which we exist...

The Relevance of History?

As the 4th of July approaches, the patriotism has always suffered a love hate relationship within the Black community. My soon to be Alma Mater too has the same issue with students of color. So my question is how does past mistreatment of any demographic affect the present day relationship? Is it wrong for grudges to be held due to the moral immoralities of the past? In the process of researching the history of Black students at this University who is still seeking to define diversity I will allow you to answer that for yourselves.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Jackson family during this fragile moment.
Although I was not always an advocate for MJ, he was truly an asset to the music industry and will be immortalized through his music.

Random Acts of Regression pt. V??

Fam, long time no talk... but you know how life gets. Anywho, you know I couldn't come back without anything controversial so here we go. Diane Black, an elected Tennesee official recently sent out a racist e mail pertaining to our Commander and Cheif, Mr. Obama. The e mail was entitled "Historical keepsake" and consisted of the image pictured above. When asked to explain the following statement was made :

When I asked her if she understood the controversial nature of the photo, Goforth would only say she felt very bad about accidentally sending it to the wrong list. When I gave her a second chance to address the controversial nature of the email, she again repeated that she only felt bad about sending it to the wrong list of people.

Good ish huh? Did I mention she was a member of the Grand OLE Party??? Anyways, just news I thought you should know.

Sidebar: Congrats to the Class of 09...you deserve it.
