Dr. Martin Luther King epitomizes the state of Black America and the perpetuation of its demise by the Obama administration. Ironically, and tragically, much of the […]

Solar energy is more than freedom from bills…

Tweet (Akiit.com) ST. LOUIS, MO – Solar technology dealers are picking up more business across the country today as the Obama administration’s push for renewable energy takes hold and the desire of those wishing to become independent of utility companies spreads among ordinary people. “The electrical energy grid system is over 100 years old and […]

Education requires a revolution of the mind…

Black moms, my mom and Michelle Obama…

Tweet (Akiit.com) What I’m liking most about Michelle Obama being first lady is this: She puts on public display an image of black women and black mothers that many African-Americans can identify with, but that others have viewed as an anomaly. I’m not talking about her being a Harvard-educated lawyer or dressing in designer clothes […]

Steele the Magically Disappearing Negro…

Tweet (Akiit.com) Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele must have been struck by terminal amnesia. He yukked at and agreed with the swipe a radio caller took at President Obama.
