TGR: Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize Attracts Haters:
One Obama critic is former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele, who is now the chair of the Republican National Committee. Steele, who is black, could be considered Obama’s arch nemesis. At minimum, he could even be dubbed as the “Republican response” to Obama, America’s first black president.
Before I proceed, let me preface my next comments with the following: On a statewide level in Maryland, I was a huge supporter of Michael Steele.

TGR: Sen. Edward Kennedy: A Soldier Forever Remembered:
Sen. Edward Kennedy passed last night. He will be forever missed. Although I never met him, I feel I'm a prime beneficiary of his expansive body of legislative work on behalf of the people. He will be remembered as a man who looked out for the little guy, who was not afraid to take one to task, and who did his best to do the right thing.
The model Democrat and second most senior member of the US Senate was a member of America's quintessential and iconic political family.
Consequently, history suggests he knew triumph and disaster all too well.
What I will most remember him for is his support of now-President Barack Obama, a black man - even when the Clinton's were truly hoping for his support.

Editorial: Becoming Post Racial by Joseph C. Phillips:
(HOLLYWOOD - July 9, 2009)- “Race has no place in American life or law.” President John F. Kennedy spoke these words the evening of June 11, 1963 following the desegregation of the University of Alabama. In the speech Kennedy delivered that evening he chose not to appeal to legal arguments; rather he asked Americans to look into their collective hearts and weigh the moral question of continued racial discrimination. “The heart of the question,” said Kennedy “is whether all Americans are to be afforded equal rights and equal opportunities…” Read in Full >>
TGR: “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July” Revised:
Considered his most powerful speech, Douglass delivered this address at Corinthian Hall in his adopted home of Rochester, New York. A most noted former slave turned abolitionist, Douglass posed the poignant question to the white masses, do doubt, in hope of helping to end the dreaded American slavery system. It would not be long, thanks to people like then-President Abraham Lincoln.

The Glover Report: Checkmate and Back on the Map:
Today, a man we could also classify as mulatto is on the verge of stepping into history … and the White House. And with yesterday’s cosmic endorsement from retired General Colin Powell, Senator Barack Obama has all but sealed victory come November 4, 2008. Likened by pundits to Cicero, Obama gets it. Undeniably American, I think he is the realization of the hopes and dreams of countless freedom fighters like Attucks. As noted by right-winger Armstrong Williams, the hand of God is upon him.
