1. Laron Profit: As much as I loved the documentary on the Fab Five, was I the only person who thought it was incomplete because we never got to hear from Chris Webber on several different issues, including the timeout he called and Ed Martin?

2. Etan Thomas: I...

1. Etan: Did people really get upset when President Obama thanked the Philadelphia Eagles for giving Michael Vick a second chance? Do they really not understand that he represents to so many young people what you can do if you put your mind to it? That even if you mess...

An Open Letter to Juan Williams (Etan Thomas)

Mr. Williams , let me first say that I have enjoyed reading your books, columns, and think that you used to do a lot of good work at NPR. Your book Enough, although there were aspects of it that I definitely disagreed...

We are a nation at war, and if we lose this war, our nation is in grave danger. But we're not talking about the war in Afghanistan, we're talking about the war going on here in our country, the war of education. In the new documentary Waiting for "Superman" we...

Recently I was at a basketball camp at HAX Gym in L.A. I happened to notice two little kids, middle school age, practicing on the court next to me. They were putting each other through drills, encouraging each other when one of them missed a shot, or mishandled the ball,...

I speak out against this war not in anger, but with anxiety and sorrow in my heart. Above all with a passionate desire to see our beloved country stand as the moral example of the world. I speak out against this war because I am disappointed with America. There can...

1. Republicans want George Bush to receive all of the credit for the surge working and that's fine. But are they also willing to accept the blame for the lies that got us into this war in the first place? Will they take the blame for the 4,400 Americans that...

1. In Michael Moore's documentary, Sicko, he showed the story of an employee of the largest HMO in the country, Kaiser Permanente. Her name is Donnell Keys and she was fully insured by Kaiser. However, when her 18-month-old daughter drew a temperature of 104, and she took her to the...

1. How can David Harold serve one year in prison for raping and sodomizing a four-year-old girl but Michael Vick serve nearly two years for dog fighting? Is the life of an animal worth more than the life of a human being? Let alone a child?

2. Why do Republicans...

By now everyone has heard of the incident that occurred with Professor Henry Louis Gates and officer James Crowley of the Cambridge Police department. Just to recap, a woman calls the police to inform them that two black men are breaking into a house. The police end up arresting a...

Let me say first that I am a big fan of yours. The way that you point out the faults of both the republicans and the democrats is absolutely brilliant. I believe your talent along with the likes of Jon Stewart as well as Steve Colbert is very much needed...

I was pleasantly surprised to hear Colin Powell's endorsement of Barack Obama Sunday on Meet the Press. He fervently delivered his well thought out reasons behind his endorsements. He answered the questions that will definitely arise in the wake of his choice such as if this is nothing more than...

At the recent CNN/You tube Republican debate, a question came from Tyler Overman: "Hi. This is Tyler Overman from Memphis, Tennessee. And I have a quick question for those of you who would call yourselves Christian conservatives. The death penalty, what would Jesus do?"

Governor Huckabee's answer was the perfect...

Barack Obama has been bombarded with a list of complaints in regards to the way he has been conducting his campaign. These criticisms have been mounting for some time, and seem to be growing more and more as we near the primary elections.

Robert Guttman, the director of the Center...

I have to say that I was absolutely shocked and quite disgusted when I read Giuliani's statement comparing the time he spent for photo opportunities during 9/11 to the work of the firefighters. He was quoted as saying, "I was there working with them. I was exposed to exactly...

I was recently a part of a wonderful experience. Myself, along with Ron Artest of the Sacramento Kings, Theo Ratliff of the Boston Celtics, and Maurice Evans of the Los Angeles Lakers, had the privilege taking a journey to Kenya with the National Basketball Players' Association. The main purpose of...

I have heard discussions regarding the cable show about Internet predators and how they catch them soliciting young children but had never seen it. That is until last week. Chris Hanson, who I salute for all of his work in exposing what has become an epidemic, sets up decoys...

Earlier this week, i had the pleasure of participating in a panel discussion moderated by Spike Lee. The panel included Algee Crumpler of the Atlanta Falcons, Jim Brown, Stephen A. Smith, Coach Vivian Stringer, William Rhoden, Alonzo Mourning, Jason Whitlock, and Claire Smith of the Philadelphia Inquirer. It was an...

So, that's what he thinks of our women. Reduced to terms and phrases uprooted from slavery. For him to refer to the women of the Rutgers basketball team as "nappy headed hoes" is not only ignorant, but shows his connection to the centuries of racism and sexism that have been...
