18/10/20 at 10.24pm   /   by Michael   /   0 Comment

  Just 18 days before voters hit the booths in the 2018 midterm election and Russian trolls (for lack of a better definition) have launched a vigorous attack on Black voters with an old Malcolm X Speech. In the early 1960s Malcolm X broke down the Democratic Party as the northern wolves and the southern Dixiecrats. During this period of American history, Blacks were prohibited from voting in the Democratic Party Primaries in the South. These primaries were termed as the White Primary by southern Blacks. The White Primary determined the white Democrat who would represent the Democrats on the

Our guest columnist, Floyd L. Griffin former Georgia State Senator and former mayor of Milledgeville, Georgia sound off on the down ballot in Georgia’s midterm elections.By Floyd L. Griffin This year year, don’t forget to vote the down ballot. I’ve been in politics for a very long time, probably far longer than I want to admit. I’ve cast votes in the Georgia General Assembly that at the time seemed liked the most important vote in my lifetime and the lifetime of the good people of Milledgeville who sent me to Atlanta. Like many of my neighbors, I’ve participated in national

“biscuits on chopping board” by any other name is still a cracker by Anita Peeples on UnsplashDid Donald Trump say it or didn’t he say it and does it matter if he said it. The it being the “N” word, which stands for you know what, the name given to Black Americans by white Americans when they want to denigrate Black people and to flex their white supremacist muscles. Trump said he did not say it. Omarosa Manigault Newman said he said it. Sarah Huckabee Sanders said she would not be surprised if there is a tape of him saying it. Georgia State

If Omarosa Has The Smoking Gun Should She Be Heard

Photo by Daniel van den Berg on UpsplashIf Omarosa Manigault Newman has the smoking gun which would bring an end to the Trump presidency should she be heard? I pose this question because on Sunday’s Meet The Press with Chuck Todd, Omarosa said her third book, Unhinged: An Inside Account of the Trump White House (Galley Books, 330 pages, 2018), reveals she witnessed Trump place a sheet of paper in his mouth and chew on it after receiving it from his then fix it attorney Michael Cohen. Todd did not follow up to find out what information was contained on this sheet

Photo by Rex Tavahn on UpsplashKing James trumps the loud mouth in the White House. LeBron James a high school graduate and multi-millionaire proves once again that he is smarter than the loud mouth in the White House. Said loud mouth is purported to have a degree from the Wharton School of Business and to have millions of dollars that no one seems to be able to verify. One thing for certain, as CNN’s Don Lemon noted, while the loud mouth’s claim to fame is in putting children in cages, King James has added to his fame by putting children

Six Reasons Why Stacey Abrams Is Georgia’s Next Governor

18/07/28 at 10.30am   /   by Michael   /   2 Comments

Six reason why Stacey Abrams is Georgia’s next governor? At first blush the political pundits would suggest Abrams, the titular head of the Georgia Democratic Party, by virtue of her position as the former Minority Whip in the Georgia House of Representatives, does not have a chance in red state Georgia. Contrary to that popular belief, Abrams has the best chance of winning a statewide race in Georgia than any Democrat who has run for a non judicial constitutional office in the state in the last 18 years. Why? The answer is as clear as the nose on your face.

“Goody’s” Volunteers Make MVP Baseball A Success

18/07/23 at 11.15am   /   by Michael   /   0 Comment

I first met Greg “Goody” Goodwin in the late 1980s. He was sitting in a jury box in a Dekalb County, Georgia courtroom. He had been summoned to jury duty. It’s safe to say there were no volunteers in that jury box. I was a young personal injury lawyer and had been pulled into a felony murder trial by a maintenance worker in the office tower where my law office was located. My specialty was negotiating “road wreck” cases and not maneuvering my clients away from a murder conviction under a “party to a crime” prosecution. “Goody” was one of
