Background of My Father

"Clarence Coggins, New Jersey state coordinator of the Jackson campaign, said his organization did not emphasize voter registration. "That wasn't the focus," he said. "The focus was to win with what you had."

Perhaps Coggins was understating the voter-registration effort. Many of his county coordinators reported large numbers of new registrants, an indication, they said, of newly born political awareness among minority voters.

Across New Jersey, according to the secretary of state's office, about 3.7 million residents will be eligible to vote tomorrow - up about 150,000, or 4 percent, from the 3,550,000 registered before the last presidential primary in 1980." This was a quote from Andrew Maykuth Online The Philadelphia Inquirer June 4, 1984

I was entering my biography on Wikipedia and I got speedily deleted. LOL. Sometimes people on the internet really kill me with some of their positions. Well right now I have a resentment and being the type of guy that I am. I'm not going to rest until I have a website which has a higher user count and rating that Wiki. But in the meanwhile, I'd thought I'd share a little more about my family background.

Why Pimp is not Cute

I got this video link from The Thoughts of Black Men Group. It illustrates why black history is more than just an African American occurrence. It illustrates why we have
to look at our past to fully understand the ramifications of our actions.

This was from last year.
But on the lighter side and the solution side. Here is the video I did on 1 Upcashsystem. A component of how I believe we can improve our economic conditions without selling our Mothers, sisters and daughters.

Lest We Forget Why I Voted!!

All I can say is wow! Young People get a clue! (wenches, Huh!) Scary!



Never forget the price paid for where you stand today.
This was once our resume' (image above)...




None of us has had to experience the pain of separation or live with the disgrace and humiliation that comes with not being free. When you cast your vote for who will run our country, never forget your history and keep this bill of sale in mind. When we allow ourselves to forget our not so distant past, then we are destined to repeat these actions in our future. Stand for those who came before us and those who could not stand up for themselves. VOTE!

I encourage you to share this with everyone you know.

Are You A Goddess???

Are you a Goddess??? I was looking for more material to offer people on how to write an ebook and I stumbled across this video. My first Christian instinct was to recoil at the title. But I did see the merits of some of the concepts discussed.

Among the women who I had been dealing with their had been a very serious disconnect with each other. Many women in my community have a hostile attitudes towards other women. The concept of women coming together to accomplish great things is not uncommon.

Putting theology aside, it is important to recognize the true gift that God gave the world when he created women. It is especially on this Valentine Day we celebrate the essence of womanhood which transcends the physical.

Let me know what you think send you emails to 1min@hudsonliberty.com and put Goddess in the subject.

HAPPY VALENTINE DAY!!! Join our community which is empowering women world wide Buck Fifty Miracle

First day of Black History Month

It is amazing how different Black History Month feels on in 2008 and how it did in 1988. It's hard to imagine that with every breath I take and every decision I make, I create Black History. The question is did I do GOOD?

How do you feel about that? And I ask people on non-African American descent to put in comments of how they are continuing the legacy of their ancestry.
