I am thankful for all my brothers and sisters of all races that fought hard to have our contributions to this great country of recognized and archived.

“That’s Sergeant Gay, sir!”

The United States military is probably the most technologically advanced and trained force in the history of mankind. It has sustained this status because individuals have volunteered to yield portions of their rights for the protection of our country. They have volunteered to submit to standards that go against the grain of me first and promote group... [Read more of this review]

State Of The Union – Obama Style

First of all great speech. President Obama hit upon all the points that anyone in their right mind would talk about. He covered jobs extensively, touched on health care, and acknowledged subjects like sexuality in the military, and the Supreme Court’s judgement on campaign dollars. The problem is, we the people are tired of rhetoric and pretty... [Read more of this review]

Super Bowl and Tim Tebow?

There is a bit of controversy being stirred over an ad sponsored by a christian group called “Focus On The Family” featuring Tim Tebow and his mother Pam during the Super Bowl. Pam was given the option to abort Tim because of some health complications she was facing, but obviously she chose to press on with the pregnancy. Certain groups... [Read more of this review]

Resilient “Haiti”

“Resilient – able to withstand or recovery quickly from different conditions”.

1 year down 3 to go…

Our first African-American President has finished one full year of presidency and it has been quite interesting. We all know the issues the administration is facing, and we know that many of them were inherited. It’s amazing how some act like all of these serious problems manifested the day President Obama took office. It’s almost criminal... [Read more of this review]

Prayer does work!

I am not ashamed to say that my life is dedicated to the christian faith. Stated plainly in our guide for life, the holy bible, it says two specific things about prayer. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (New King James Version) 17 pray without ceasing, James 5:16 (The Message) 16-18Make this your common practice: Confess your sins to each other and pray for... [Read more of this review]

Happy Birthday MLK

Many of us will not take the time to actually sit down with our younger generation and explain why this man is celebrated with a holiday. So in RPmovement fashion we are going to make it a little easier to see the greatness of Dr. King and the adversity he was chosen to forge a path thru. Make it a point to briefly study one of the individuals that... [Read more of this review]

Teddy Pendergrass “R&B Legend”

I remember my father handing me a stack of his old albums and Teddy and Michael Jackson were the albums I played over and over again. “Turn out the lights”, “Close the door”, “Love TKO”, “Joy”, and “Wake Up Everybody” are some of my favorites. I still try and imitate every sultry, gruff note... [Read more of this review]

Haiti has a population of 9 million and the loss of life is estimated to be unthinkable. A reported 80% of these precious people live off... [Read more of this review]

3-D, T-V

The hottest gadget of 2010 is going to be the introduction of 3-D television. It will be the new thing that separates the haves for the have nots.

I guess if you don’t... [Read more of this review]

Health Care Reform

RP has been purposely silent on this topic so we could really understand what this situation was really about. After watching months of news reports, town hall meetings, and listening to hours of radio we’ve concluded its about money. I know some of you are saying, duh, but hold on. It’s not just about insurance companies and all those... [Read more of this review]

“Privacy”

Privacy is defined as “the state or condition of being free from being observed or disturbed by other people.” Tiger woods crashed his car into a tree (and or hydrant), he was the only injured party and he didn’t break any laws (besides some possible traffic citations). The intrigue in why this even took place is understandable but... [Read more of this review]

“Precious” – A movie for us all

This movie isn’t for the faint of heart, but it is a story that needs to be told. Youth are growing up in an era where abuse emotionally, and sexually is becoming a common theme. Youth are having to face the stark reality that not enough of its adult generation is collectively looking out for their welfare. This movie is a reminder to all of... [Read more of this review]

Mad As Hell

This is one of the hardest blogs to write because of the rage I feel when a child has their innocence taken from them. The first thing I thought about is how unalarmed Shaniya looked as she was entering the hotel room with a grown man. I saw in this 5yr olds eyes the normal trust they have for the adult generation. I saw in her eyes protection, safety,... [Read more of this review]

Grieve, Examine, Prevent

This post is to empathize with all those associated with the Ft. Hood and Orlando shootings, and the gruesome discovery of murdered victims in Cleveland’s house of horrors. At times we are in such a hurry to find an explanation, we don’t give enough time to properly grieve and mourn. At times we are so caught up in getting revenge that... [Read more of this review]
