Wow...
This stuff just keep on getting more and more exciting everyday... Pres. Obama "we the people" want you to remember... Remember that we are the people that we have been waiting on... We are the people that still believe that with your leadership, "Yes we can!!!" We want you to remember that "We are not as divided as our politics would suggest..." We the people of these United States made a vow to (US)A that whatever it takes to right the wrong we are the people for the job because if it can be done "Yes We Can" do it...
So when it comes to bigger government we say even babies grow up, so "Yes We Can!!!" So when it comes to the "Tax code, immigration, Iraq, Afghan, and all the other problems that face US(A) as a nation we "Yes We Can!!!""
Remember Mr. Pres. these three word were not only a campaign motto but (big "Yes We Can" but in the room) these are the words of a nation...
From sea to shining sea - "Yes We Can!!!"
From boarder to boarder - "Yes We Can!!!"
From every patriotic heart - "Yes We Can!!!"
So as a sign of Patriotism we the people vow to fly "The American Flag" proudly so that it can be seen from the moon that we are a "United States!!!"
"Yes We Can!!!"
"Yes We Can!!!"
"Yes We Can!!!"
Pres. Obama Remember - "Yes We Can" Heal this nation and repair this world..."

"Pres. Obama: "Kyra Phillips - Soul Sista Number 9!!!""
Wow...
This is really exciting stuff... Culturally Speaking through-out history there has been those who cross the vast social and cultural divide to relate to another culture on an intimate plain... In recent years it was Bill Clinton, the first black president... Bill has an intimate relationship with the black culture and to most, he lead the way for a little known black guy with a funny name to become President... I am sure to the dismay of his very intelligent wife, but (big opss but in the room) that's another post....
Now you all know, I am an avid watcher of CNN and one of my most favorite anchors is; "Kyra Phillip - Soul Sista number 9..."
Kyra is truly a "Soul Sista number 9!!!
She is a very smart, articulate, N-Yo-Face kinda Sista... Recently I, and I am sure many others, experienced her tough "Gone Girl" side while doing the live coverage of the recent New York shooting... I am sure, if you were watching, you saw when Kyra's tenaciousness nailed a caller down to get the facts even before the AP... Then while interviewing another sista about a job interview kyra went there with; "two snaps and a neck roll" kinda, "do yo thang" my sista!!!
Ah, Beep Beep!!!
Ah, Ah Beep Beep!!!
And just the other day, Kyra showed her "sock it to me one more time" softer side; when while doing a story about an African American youth who had committed suicide, we could not control her emotion of sadness...
It was an "I feel you" moment which brought me to tears as well... Culturally Speaking, we as a people, don't trust anyone who we think don't feel us... It is an hereditary trait that has been passed down from our African roots as people of the "talking drum..."
Now that's a great big;
Wow...
I know that Ebony has already chosen their picks for "Most Influential Sistas and Brothas, but (first big but in the room) my vote from CNN goes to "Soul Sista number 9" - Kyra Phillips... Kyra did the documentary; "Noose!!!"
She did an outstanding job exposing the truth behind this hideous racial tool of fear and divisiveness... She could have easily "white washed" the project because she didn't have a dog in that hunt, but (great big hats off to you Kyra but in the room) she didn't... For that I believe she deserves a "Pulitzer!!!" Now you all know me, I like to keep it exciting, so please allow me to say that the contrast is "Soledad O'Brien's documentary - Black in America," which I feel was a "white washed" job... I feel that because Soledad has a dog in this race she felt the pressure of the "status quo" to not knock the "establishment" too hard... As a result, I feel that she did a documentary that did not rightly represent "we as a people" from holistic point of veiw... Well Ms O'Brien, you should have passed that torch to "Soul Sista number 9; Ms Phillips would have handled it just fine... "
And take it from me;
"when you see Kyra on the street,
if don't know what to do,
just don't jump in front of her; just let hur go and say;
"Gone gurl, do yo thang, do yo thang, do your thang...
Gone gurl, do yo thang, do yo thang, do your thang..."
Wow...
So Soul Sista number 9; Keep up the good work because we be feeling you..."
Check it... When the brass at the "Big News Room" in the ATLPeach gets on yo nerves, just take from mr and say to them like the true "Soul Sista Number 9 " you are:
I'll be. be
Walking down the street,
Ten times a week.
Un-gawa. Un-gawa {baby}
This is my power.
What is the story?
What is the strike?
I said it, I meant it.
I really represent it.
Take a cool cool Black to knock me down.
Take a cool cool Black to knock me out.
I'm sweet, I'm kind.
I'm soul sister number nine.
Don't like my apples,
Don't shake my tree.
I'm a Castle Square Black
Don't mess with me.
"Kyra Phillips: "Soul Sista number 9!!!""
Check it - it is going to take US(A) to heal our land; Amen!!!

"Pres. Obama: "We the People of the United States of America!!!""
Wow...
This stuff just keep getting more and more exciting everyday...
Let's get right at it...
Check it...
Culturally Speaking, during every major financial downfall that has occurred in this nation from it humble beginning, there has been those who would come out against the government. To this I say:
"I, We the people of the United States of America , do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).
Wow...
Now that's what I have phrased "the Call to Patriotism!!!"
Need I say more???
I didn't think so...

"Pres. Obama: The Audacity of SYNC!!!"
Wow...
This stuff just keeps getting more and more exciting everyday... Unlike many of the nay-sayers on CNN and the like, I would say that Pres. Obama has done an outstanding job as the "NEW CINC" for less than a hundred days... In this short amount of time, he has not only managed to restore a sense of pride and cooperation around the world... Pres. Obama has successfully managed to tackle several domestic issues left over from the previous Administration...
One can only imagine the enormous amount of stress this has brought on for him, but (big Pres. Obama is the man for the job but in the room) Pres. Obama makes the heavy lifting look easy... One could say that his "Audaciousness and Tenaciousness" is the fuel that drives him and the magnet that others are drawn too... Now even the Reps have had to succumb to this superior force that has mesmerized most if not all who are graced to be in his presence... Some things are undeniable and political suicide to oppose which is the place that all critics have found themselves in as of late... Now that is a great big:
"Wow!!!"
Yes, I know "We as a Nation" have many a' great hurdles to cross before the finish line is in sight but (clean out the blocks but in the room) we are off to a great start... Pres. Obama has managed to remove all doubt of his qualifications to successfully handle the position of "CINC!!!" His ideology of "Audacity of Hope" should now give way to the "Audacity of SYNC!!!" It is high time for "We the People of the United States of America" to get in Sync with our young vibrant leader and help him help us help ourselves... If there is a psychology behind this way of thinking it is simply that the "world is watching!!!" Democracy is on trial here... The way "We as a Nation" play this one out greatly effects how "We as a true Democracy" is received around the world for generations to come...
Wow...
So what am I saying??? In a nutshell - the world's "nuts - shall" judge US(A) based on their limited perceptions and that will be whether "We as Nation" appear in-sync or not...
Need I say more???
I did not think so!!!
Let's sum this up...
Check it...
So ladies and gentlemen, it is up to US(A) to decide how we will be perceived and it is US(A) who will greatly feel the effects...
DO you feel me???
I know you do...

"Pres. Obama: "Should the "Hanging tree" be cut down???""
Wow...
This stuff get more and more interesting everyday...
Let's get right at it;
Check it!!!
In Reference to my post: "Obama: The many faces of Fayetteville NC," I received this comment from Shinda Williams (pewood@capefearvalley.com):
Wow...
So I ask you should trees that are known as hanging trees be cut down??? I took a look at known hanging trees from our history on the internet to see what there fate has been... It seems that, for the most part, every known hanging tree has already been cut down... "Culturally Speaking," these hanging tree, were more often than not, used to hang black men without a proper trial... These places of hasty illegal trials and executions are a reminder of our disgraceful lawless past...
I am reminded of the Jena 6 saga and the whites only tree... Needless to say that that tree was cut down... This is a quote from a school board member after the tree was cut down:
Wow... "A clean slate..."
That is the real reason for these images of our racist past to be removed from our "Cultural Consciousness..." I, like Ms Williams, have an opinion and it is mine that we as a people move forward into a brighter tomorrow without these divisive images of racism to remind us of who we were... Besides, if it is our tax dollars that keep these buildings up ie "the Market house," then it is up to our congress to do the will of the people... If these building are not to be torn down then they should be used to educate about our dismay of our, not-so-distant, racist past and advocate true democracy for a brighter future for our children...
"Vega" has torn down practically, if not, all the building built during the mob controlling era... I don't see them keeping any buildings standing as a memorial to what mob violence can accomplish...
Dahhhhhhhhhhh!!!
What's that about???
So why would we the people keep these reminders (other than true education against racism that our tax dollars would be rightfully used) in our "Cultural consciousness now... In the case of "the Market House" in Fayettevill NC, the city voted to tear down "Rick's Louge" which was a very popular landmark for countless soldier and the like for decades... What was that about???
"Oh, "Rick's" did not represent the right image for a newer brighter tomorrow for the city???" A new image for an this international city, "The Airborne & Special Operations Museum???"
Who knows???
One thing is for sure, "Image is everything..."
Wow...
Do you feel me???
I hope so!!!

In Reference to my post: "Obama: The many faces of Fayetteville NC," I received this comment from Shinda Williams (pewood@capefearvalley.com):
They hung blacks from Oak trees. You gonna ban Oak trees from the world. The
market house served many purposes in its time. Unfortunately, selling of slaves
was a market during that period of time. LET IT GO ALREADY. Otherwise, cut down
all the trees in the world!!. I'm sick of people only focuses on one thing in
regards to the market house. get your facts straight. The building was not built
to sell slaves. It was part of the time. Selling of slaves occured in many
markets around the country/ It was just a fcat of history. Other business
occurred in the center of town besides slave selling. find something else to
focus on. It is just a building. Like I said, let it go or cut down every tree
that can also symbolize the hanging of slaves!!!!!
Wow...

I am reminded of the Jena 6 saga and the whites only tree... Needless to say that that tree was cut down... This is a quote from a school board member after the tree was cut down:
"A clean slate," LaSalle Parish School Board member Billy Fowler said of why the
tree was cut down in the past few weeks. "There's nothing positive about that
old tree. It's all negative. And I'm serving on the new School Board, and we're
wanting to start fresh on some things."
Wow... "A clean slate..."
