Just something to look at...

Blacks vs. Gays

I am sure you heard about the Tim Hardaway controversey, what is going on? First the guy from Grey's Anatomy and now Tim Hardaway. Especially within the rubric of political coalitions Blacks and Homosexuals have an alliance. I am proud to say that alliance is usually manifested within the Democratic Party. Homosexuals often draw comparisons between their struggle and the African-American struggle for Civil Rights. While there are many divergent views on that subject I hope the latest episodes do not harm that delicate fabric that produces great leaders like Rep. Barney Frank and Sen. Barack Obama.

However, here is the quesiton. It is well known that the Black church by most accounts is a conservative institution. Do you think religous dogma makes African-Americans uncomfortable with homosexuality?

I got a new favorite

I don't know why but I discovered King of Queens via re-runs. It has become my favorite re-run show. What is your favorite show in syndication?

Thank you for visiting. My life's interest rest in politics and public policy. I begin law school this fall and I ask for your prayers and your support. I want to be a corporate attorney because there is a need for more persons of color in these roles. However, regardless of my job I will always be an advocate. I thank my mother, Sherma E. Sallee-Anderson for making me the man that I am. I also thank my father and my two sisters for their undying love and support. Last, praise the Lord for his mercy and I thank the Lord for you all.
