		<title>Big Things Poppin&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi everybody!  I know it's been a while since I've posted, but I've been terribly busy with school and my new nonprofit - The Black Male Empowerment Institute.  I also purchased and settled into my new home and married my partner in grind, Sabrina.]]></description>

		<title>A Million Dollar Convo With Dr. Bill Cosby</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since graduating from The Taft School in 2000, I have desired to see countless other inner city youth benefit from the lifesaving experience of boarding school.  A recent study concludes that “currently, the rate at which Black males are being pushed out of school and into the pipeline for prison far exceeds the rate at which they are graduating and reaching high levels of academic achievement. A deliberate, intense focus is needed to disrupt and redirect the current educational trajectory for Black males” (Schott Foundation for Public Education 2010).]]></description>

		<title>Free Yourself From the Corporate Plantation by Starting a Business</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past 4 years I have traveled around the country encouraging youth to become self reliant by starting businesses.  Not only is this is the way to create new jobs in our downtrodden economy, it is also the path to mental, physical, and emotional freedom.  Echo Boomers like myself do not buy slaving 50 years for Corporate America while our true desires and goals remain caged, dormant ambitions.]]></description>

		<title>Where Art Thou Hip Hop?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the religious folklore that is Hip Hop, DJ Kool Herc is the Father, the author of Genesis.  Every time you nod your head, admire the rhythmic marriage of two disparate beats, kick a drunken freestyle, or watch your favorite athlete hit The Dougie after scoring, you have Clive Campbell to thank.  If Hip Hop made any sense, every culture junkie would adorn their home with a shiny, brass relief of the revolutionary DJ. Yet, despite Herc's legacy, Hip Hop has tragically failed its founding father.]]></description>

		<title>Can&#8217;t Work The Middle: Moderates Fall Short</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While the Tea Party rallies conservatives to take back their country, and formerly enthused Obama supporters search for the progress they were promised in 2008, there seems to be a recent surge in the amount of people who would like to find common ground between two polarizing factions.  As a result, a growing number of the once progressive intelligentsia have now begun to fashion themselves as “level-headed” moderates, who want the country managed from the center.  Looking back at American history, nothing is more dangerous than the instances where progressives devalue morality and freedom, for the purposes of seeming rational.  Nonetheless, when observing the “Political View” field of many of your Facebook friends you’re likely to find newfound converts to the “Moderate” label.  Unfortunately, those who subscribe to moderate ideology fail to realize that straddling the fence creates the most dangerous political climate possible...]]></description>

		<title>Time To Fall Back</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Reluctantly, I took Summertime out my iPod rotation.  In brilliant irony, I was reminded to do so by none other than DJ Jazzy Jeff in Vegas last week.   Bikini clad women smiled and waved as my boy Gary and I chatted with the Fresh Prince's legendary sidekick at The Palms' pool party. Suddenly it dawned on me that the autumnal equinox was upon us, and though I had hit the gym all year to make sure I had some self confidence when walking shirtless on my visit to Sin City, it was indeed time to kiss my favorite season goodbye.]]></description>

		<title>America, Where Is The Love?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Compassion is seen as a weakness in the United States.  In fact, if you watch Fox News long enough you'll be brainwashed into believing compassion is "un-American."  You care about the welfare of beings other than yourself? What the heck are you - a socialist?]]></description>

		<title>Top 5 Dead or Alive</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ever since Pac and Big died, we've heard emcees constantly attempt to include themselves on the "Top 5 Dead or Alive" rapper list.  Hip Hop fans have compared their personal Top 5 lists with those of their peers, debating about the merits and flaws on each others' bill.  While it's definitely been fun to participate in the Great Hip Hop debate, I've found it more exciting to broaden the "Top 5 Dead or Alive" discussion to encompass history's most revolutionary figures. ]]></description>
