Donald Trump... Superman?

Last night, as Donald Trump accepted his nomination for the presidency of the United States, he gave a compelling speech about how he could save the world. He started out by assuring us that if he were to become our president We will be a country of generosity and warmth. But we will also be a country of law and order. That sure would be nice considering everything that's going on today. But then as he got deeper into his speech, he did it the trusty Trump way and expressed his views about immigrants and ISIS terrorists. You can tell that his blood pressure was starting to boil as his voice elevated and his beady eyes began to squint. Same ole Trump rhetoric, we already know who and what he doesn't like.

When referring to the people, Trump never once mentioned anything about him wanting to bring us all TOGETHER, but instead, singling out groups- the Muslims, the immigrants, the LGBTQ community, the police... never once mentioning Blacks.

I don't know, maybe because I am Black, I would've liked to hear Superman address us and his plans for making sure we will be okay under his watch just like he addressed everyone else. After all, his pledge is: I'M WITH YOU- THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. But hey, maybe it's just me... what's left unsaid gets noticed more.

However, I can honestly say some parts of Trump's speech resonated with me, the parts that pertained to Americans as a whole such as debt relief for all, especially students; making the streets safe again; putting a stop to drugs entering our communities; and assuring all youth are treated equally and protected equally.

I also agree with him when he said the most basic duty of government is to defend the lives of its own citizens. Any government that fails to do so is a government unworthy to lead. If I've never agreed with anything this man has said, here is the day that I do because our government is failing us.

All of that save the world and everyone in it, keep all the bad guys out talk sounds grand Mr. Trump... but how much of that speech is your writer's words and how much of it is yours?

Black History Month Celebrates Walter Payton!

Walter Jerry Payton was born on July 25, 1954. He was fondly known around the NFL and to fans as "Sweetness" because of his moves on the field and his kindness. He will always be remembered as one of the greatest running backs to ever play the game of football. The two-time MVP played with the Chicago Bears for thirteen years (1975-1982) and during his stellar career he scored 125 touchdowns (2nd most ever), 492 receptions, he accounted for a record 21,803 combined net yards and he was a consistent threat in the passing game. In thirteen years he only missed one game and that was during his rookie season in 1975. "Never Die Easy" was Walter Payton's motto.

Payton attributed his motto to his college coach, Bob Hill. Never Die Easy is also the title of his posth

First Lady Michelle Obama is My Homegirl

In light of the Melania Trump/Michelle Obama speech faux pas, I have to say First Lady Michelle Obama is truly an inspiration and it's no wonder why Melania Trump chose to draw from her speech. I mean seriously, our first lady is smart and beautiful and she's taken the role of a first lady to another level, a level that will be very hard to top. From the moment she stepped onto the scene, her presence has been felt. With her memorable Democratic Convention speech in 2008 to the many initiatives she has put in place today. Michelle Obama has without a doubt made her mark and will go down as one of the greatest first ladies in history. When I was growing up, with the exception of a select few, I didn't hear too much about past first ladies. Sure there was Nancy Reagan but she wasn't the one everyone talked about or admired. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis is the first lady I grew up hearing about and she was long gone from the White House when I was a kid. She was b
