		<title>Black Luminaries Throw Shade on Barack Obama</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You have to respect the contributions of folks like Jesse Jackson and Cornel West. They paved the way, set the tone, and any other term you can come up with to say &#8220;they did it first.&#8221;
But doing it first usually doesn&#8217;t translate to doing it best, and that&#8217;s the situation we currently have with these [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seeing Through Michael Baisden</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Usually when you have a person in a position of power trying to affect progress, the topic of discussion rarely falls back on that person. Issues, strategies and ideology has this funny way of moving ego and selfishness out of the way.
This is not the case with Michael Baisden.
Don&#8217;t get me wrong. I fully believe [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lindsay Lohan Excited About &#8220;Colored President&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I could see if Lindsay Lohan was like 89 years old and was responding to a question on how George Wallace would feel about Barack Obama being the first black president in U.S. history. But to be a young starlet who can afford people to tell her that this is not politically correct, well, let&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shepard Smith Loves Him Some Obama</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Maybe not loves, I doubt if he even likes him just from being a FOX News pundit. But he respected the moment of Barack Obama&#8217;s election enough to repudiate this asinine remarks from Ralph &#8220;Mr. Irrelevant&#8221; Nader during this interview.

		<title>All Wrapped Up in Glorious</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Disbelief is a much more powerful feeling than hope. To want something so bad that when you finally get it, you can&#8217;t believe that you received it, much less deserved it.
America has voted a black man into office. And not a black man that could be tossed out on his butt as a slap at [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Day Cynics Fell Silent</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This must be a dreary day for those who live their lives in cynicism.
Here you have a day about defying odds, realizing hope, and changing things from the every other angle but the one right in front of you. So many people have spent so much time in their intellectual capacity, breaking down odds and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Get it out of your head this instant, there is no reservoir of slickness that you can tap into that will get you out of standing on the voting line tomorrow. Forget it, bruh. We still need you out there, so don&#8217;t walk off thinking you can run to Jerry&#8217;s Subs and Pizza real quick [...]]]></description>

		<title>Barack Obama in Primetime</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everybody keeps talking about John McCain and Sarah Palin are mavericks, but I can&#8217;t think of an action that more defines the term than commandeering primetime television.
There&#8217;s no need to get into how emotionally gripping, poignant and genuine the broadcast was, but just the fact that Obama had the balls to do it. Charisma aside, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Phillies Deserve it, But Does the City of Philadelphia Deserve a Title?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Philadelphia Phillies are one game away from the team&#8217;s first World Series title in 28 years, and the franchise deserves it. By and large, they assembled a good team with balanced pitching and overpowering hitting.
But there&#8217;s a reason that the biggest story line surrounding this potential title is not about players, managers or ownership.
It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Do You Know ESPN Doesn&#8217;t Like Black People?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Because they keep Emmitt Smith on the air.
Look, we respect Emmitt Smith the football player. We respect him as a human being. But we just can&#8217;t respect him as a public speaker, or someone who gets paid to speak without a script. To Smith, subjects and verbs go together like refried beans and milk.
And yet, [...]]]></description>
