As I scanned the Sports Day in today's Dallas Morning, I quickly noticed that there were two black writers featured "above the fold." Calvin Watkins, who I first knew as the DMN boxing reporter, was covering the much-anticipated return of T.O. to Philly this weekend. And to his right, Jean-Jacques Taylor has a column where he dishes...
I would think that by now, most of you know that neither major party, Republicans, nor Democrats, deserve the blind faith of African-American voters on Election Day. After decades of loyalty that black voters have shown the Democrats, there is little to show in the form of tangible progress provided...

I moved to Dallas-Ft.Worth 9 years ago. It made sense for a guy from Paris, Texas who had just graduated from Texas A&M University to make a move to Big 'D'. I quickly settled into apartment living in Irving, which was a great place for a new start in life. So many young...
Former Texas Governor Ann Richards has died at the age of 73 following a legthy battle with cancer. She brought so much energy and flare to Texas politics, all the way up to her last days. She was a Texas original, and will be missed.
A while back, I blogged about the Shifting Black Political Scene in Dallas. And as I mentioned then, Ft. Worth has already seen young leaders step to the forefront in the area Civic Service. The Dallas Weekly highlights some of the new faces of Ft. Worth Politics in this week's edition. Take...
