UPTOWN Magazine » Kevin Powell’s Open Letter to Chris Brown

In light of Chris Brown's incident at Good Morning America-the public blacklash and the complete demonization of Chris Brown, Kevin Powell reached out addressing this Open Letter to Chris Brown. It is full of compassion and humanity. It is absolutely beautiful! I commend Kevin Powell for his efforts and connetion to his own humanity because that's what it takes to help heal another human soul.

Oscar Win Highlights Plight of Africans in Israel

Oscar Win Highlights Plight of Africans in Israel

It seems that Isreal is the refuge of choice for many Africans escaping political persercution, poverty and death. Yet, the Israeli government is not having it. Currently, the government is in the process of deporting African migrants. In addition, they are expelling Asians whoes work visas have expired. The heartbreaker is that hundreds of children are on the list to be expelled. These African children speak Hebrew and have known no other life. At the 2011 Oscars, the plight of these African Immagrints was featured in the documentary film, "Strangers No More." This documentary represented Isreal and won the Oscar! Film makers and children advocates in Isreal are hoping the win will inspire the government to relax their rules and allow the immigrant children to remain in Isreal. In facet, Yonathan Shaham of the "Israeli Children" Foundation, said, "If they are good enough to represent Israel at the Oscars, they are good enough to remain part of the country." Let's hope the Israeli goverment can conjure up the same sentiment for the children. Prehaps they will even rise to be what God orginally called them to be. The light of the wold and a refuge for all nations!

Abortion Activists Portray Black Women as Killers

Abortion Activists Portray Black Women as Killers

Once again black women are under fire! It's so strange that these groups carry on about abortion as if they really care about what happens to black babies. I know that's not the truth! It's merely a political ploy. You can believe that the people behind this massive campagin to paint black women as killers and murders of their own children are the same people, members of the TEA PARTY and the REPUBLICAN PARTY, who protested UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE and took guns to that party! These are the people who want to pull funding from all kinds of social programs. These are the people who do not want and equal education for all children especially if their taxes have to pay for it. These are the people who are complete RACIST-spitting on black congressmen, calling President Obama everything but a child of God and his family too. These are the people who target attack black women (people) in the various media outlets, on jobs and in the streets daily. Do you really think they care about black babies? This is just another effort by the racist mainstream to demonize women with black skin.

How the middle class became the underclass

How the middle class became the underclass

It seems as it alway is, THE RICH GET RICHER AND THE POOR GETS POORER AND THE MIDDLE CLASS GETS SQUEEZED TO DEATH! This article from CNN says just that. While the top 1% wages and incomes has risen 33%, the middle class's wages remains stagnet and has not change much since the 1080's. The only change has been a slight decrease in income for the middle class. It seems that this is due to LABOR UNIONS AND COLLECTIVE BARGINING. The decrease in union membership is just one factor in the decrease or stagnation of the Middle Class's wages. Read to find out about what's really going on!
