Obama’s Presidency: Race and Inequality in Contemporary America, Pt 1

Posted Nov 4, 2008 at 08:23 AM by NextLevel (Rise To The Next Level)

For people who like pro-Black politics, I think that most of what I write about Obama’s intentions will be good news.

It's been ahelluvan election year. I expect this to be one of the most interesting election years we have seen and will ever see. The debate heats up in the main square where an overwhelmingly pro-Obama crowd deals with a one clear pro-McCain/Palin individual (Meticulous) and one independent without a vote (myself).

History and Revisionism

Posted Aug 17, 2008 at 01:13 AM by NextLevel (Rise To The Next Level)

History is an interesting and confusing subject. Usually, I've avoided historical debates because I've discovered that historical accounts are often biased to suit an agenda. Accounts of the Civil War in both the Nigerian and American historical tradition, have many versions built around core facts, with some events told with motivations that suit different cultural agendas.
