By: Norton Nowlin | 2010-04-04 | Politics It is not the right moment on our republic's time-line for a black man to be elected to the nation's highest office. All of the current indicators present a dismal hope for such a man as Obama, who, though a good and decent public servant, is opposed by many hateful white closet and openly declarative bigots with their antebellum attitudes and prejudices. If anything, Obama's run in the 2008 election will serve to again divide the Democratic voters into several camps, allowing neo-conservatism and Republican Party to prevail. read more
By: thessayist | 2011-04-10 | Religion America experienced social turmoil and racial discord during the 1960s. Black Americans rejected segregation and discrimination, unprosecuted racial violence, and second-class citizenship as status quo. In the midst of this turbulent period, a relatively unknown theologian from a rural town in Arkansas emerged to confront the abstract and irrelevant definitions of white mainstream theology and to speak to the social conditions of black Americans. read more
By: Greg Reeson | 2010-04-04 | Politics The debate over Obama's "blackness" has gone on too long already. As a nation we need to move past the debate about a candidate's race and focus on what plans the candidate has for our country. read more
By: Eric Coggins | 2010-04-04 | Politics We Americans like to believe that the outcome of our elections is determined by the democratic process i.e. the will of the people. However, the sudden rise of such unlikely presidential candidates like Abraham Lincoln, William Jefferson Clinton, and now Barack Hussein Obama show that there may be something more divine at work behind the scenes. read more

By: Jill Engledow | 2010-04-04 | Politics Hawaii is especially proud of our new president, Barack Obama. He was born here and spent many of his formative years living in Honolulu.

By: Jeffrey Caminsky | 2010-04-04 | Politics Politics is never a game for the faint-of-heart, and modern American politics often seems to be dominated by its extremes. The conservative Republicans, who have been consistently in power for forty years, could never have achieved their recent successes if they had not first cleaned house, and banished the assorted kooks, hate-mongers, and crackpots that gave conservatives such a bad name in the middle of the last century. Can the Democrats manage to achieve a similar run of success by ridding their ranks of their own brand of lunatics? read more

By: C. Daugherty | 2010-04-04 | Politics Isn't it true that a person can be known by the company he keeps? After reading Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father, I'm left perplexed by Obama's denunciation of Rev. Jeremiah Wright this week. Obama's pleading ignorance on Wright's character is contradicted by what he says in his own book. The Wright he saw speak at the National Press Club IS the same person he met 20 years ago. What's more, Dreams reveals a long-standing pattern of Obama choosing friends and associates who see the world exclusively through a prism of racial division. read more
