NAACP MEETING TONIGHT

UPDATE: Our dear beloved brother, Mr. Nate Livingston Jr., will be doing some live blogging from the NAACP meeting tonight. I believe our brother is a member in good standing so this should be very interesting. To read his live blogging reports go www.blackcincinnati.blogspot.com END OF UPDATE

There is a scheduled meeting of the NAACP at the Thomas A. Moore building tonight on Montgomery Rd. in Evanston at 7pm.

We're told A. Victor Brown will be in attendance along with NAACP president Edith Thrower. There is still alot of controversy surrounding who won the Cincinnati branch of the NAACP presidential elections a few weeks ago. The decision/votes between current president Edith Thrower and former Cincinnati City Councilman Christopher Smitherman is still up in the air and will most likely decided in court.

It is encouraged that all members in good standing with the NAACP attend the meeting tonight.
After the meeting, we'd like to hear from those who attended and get your comments, concerns, opinions and thoughts about what's going on within the NAACP.

And the big question, "Who would you like to see as president of your local chapter of the NAACP?" Current president Edith Thrower or Christopher Smitherman?

Edith Thrower has said in the media, "I am still the president of the NAACP." Christopher Smitherman has already, we are told, crowned himself, King of the NAACP.

What do you think? We await your comments.


BLACK POWER!

THE GODFATHER IS GONE...

Wow...what a way to start the day in hearing the news that The Godfather of Soul James Brown had passed away early this morning. Here's part of the story I retrieved from www.cnn.com check it out:

James Brown, "The Godfather of Soul", whose rasping vocals and revolutionary rhythms made him a founder of rap, funk and disco died early today, his agent said.
He was 73.

Brown was hospitalized in Atlanta with pneumonia on Sunday his agent said. Brown's family was being notified of his death and the cause was still uncertain. "We really don't know what he died of" said his agent Frank Copsidas.

Brown was known as "The Hardest Working Man in Show Business". His career spanned 50 years. "James presented obviously the best grooves," rapper Chuck D of Public Enemy told the Associated Press. "To this day, there has been no one near as funky. No one's coming close."

His hit singles include such classics as "Out of Sight", "(Get up I feel like being a) Sex Machine", "I Got You (I feel good)", Say it loud -- I'm Black and I'm Proud", a landmark 1968 statement of racial pride and "The Big Payback".

He was one of the initial artist inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986 along with Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley and other founding fathers.

James Brown leaves his fourth wife, Tomi Raye Hynie, one of his background singers. The couple had a son, James Jr.

This brother Man was the real deal and he will be sorely missed. One of my favorite songs is "Say It Loud -- I'm Black and I'm Proud"....I think I'll go play it right now.

THE MAN: SOUL BROTHER #1 THE GODFATHER OF SOUL JAMES BROWN DEAD AT 73.

REST IN PEACE BROTHER GODFATHER..... REST IN PEACE.....

MCKINNEY CALLS FOR BUSH IMPEACHMENT!

Finally! Someone on Capitol Hill with some guts!
This comes from the AP Wire.

WASHINGTON: BUSH IMPEACHMENT

In what was likely her final legislative act in Congress, outgoing Georgia Rep. Cynthia McKinney announced a bill Friday to impeach President Bush.

The legislation has no chance of passing and serves as a symbolic parting shot not only at Bush but also at Democratic leaders.

Incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-California, has made clear she will not entertain proposals to sanction Bush and has warned liberals of her party against making political hay of impeachment.

I didn't know calling for the impeachment of this lying conniving bloodthirsty beast was "entertainment" Nancy Pelosi. Bush is a devil and he needs to go! We say BLACK POWER!!! to Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney....."symbolic" or NOT! BLACK FIST, BLACK POWER, BLACK NATION!!!

UNTIL THE VOTES ARE OFFICIALLY COUNTED...

I reserve the right to comment at this time. There has been several Black Fist Blog readers who have emailed & called me wondering what my opinion about the recently held "election" of a new president to The Cincinnati Branch of The NAACP are and one such reader even took the time to write a very lengthy and well thought out comment to that regard. As I informed that reader, until all the votes are officially counted and I know who the real president of The NAACP is, at this time I have no comment. When such time comes where Cincinnati has an official president of one of the oldest so-called black organizations in this country - The NAACP - then will, [if we so choose] The Black Fist position be known. However, until then I'd like to thank all of you who took the time to inquire in person, send your emails, place your calls and share your thoughts via this site. And of course thank you, to all of you who rely on The Black Fist Blog for your source of news and gaining truth from the black militant perspective! Keep Reading & Remember Black Power Every Hour!!!
