Project 21 Awaits ObamaCare Debut
For ObamaCare, it’s about time for the rubber to really hit the road. And things don’t look promising to the membership of the National Center’s Project 21 black leadership network. Unless, of course, the hope is that President Obama’s signature plan to try to take over America’s health care system ...
Project 21 Members Talk Christmas Cheer and Jeers

Obama, Black Political Establishment Criticized for Failure to Directly Address “Knockout Game” Violence
Washington, D.C. - In no uncertain terms, members of the Project 21 black leadership network are calling out many self-appointed black leaders, activists and journalists for thus far being unwilling to directly address the senseless "knockout game" violence terrorizing innocent Americans.

Mr. President, Race Relations Suck, and You’re Not Helping, by Bob Parks
It was all supposed to be so different for race issues in America after Barack Obama became president. Then again — given the players who are still involved in the game — it's no wonder things aren't any better. Despite a rocky primary process in 2008 where things did get ...
Well-Conceived Plan Needed if Black-White Wealth Gap is to End, by B.B. Robinson, Ph.D.
There is a black-white wealth gap. It's a quantifiable reality. Getting rid of it, however, may be an impractical, albeit sincere, goal. While this equality goal is not insurmountable, there is no precedent for it ever having been achieved -- and that raises serious challenges when developing a strategy for ...
Make More Money By Working Harder, by Darryn “Dutch” Martin
Making a so-called "living wage" is all the rage these days. Forget the minimum wage set by Congress. A living wage adds all sorts of political factors to the equation, usually lumped upon business owners just barely making a profit in this economy. It's class warfare at its worst. In ...
Regulatory Grinches Seek to Steal Christmas Spirit, by Archbishop Council Nedd II
Christmastime is supposed to be the season of giving. Why is so much being taken away from people? As a man of the cloth and a staunch defender of the Judeo-Christian faith that built our great nation, one thing that always bothers me is when atheists seek to deprive us ...
Faith Trumps Atheist Angst, by Derryck Green
This is the time of year when belligerent atheists corral fellow "freethinkers" together in an attempt to legally disrupt displays of the Nativity.

Inequitable Arguments about Income Inequality, by Hughey Newsome
Once again, liberals demand an increase in the minimum wage. President Obama said raising the minimum wage — the lowest amount, by law, most employers can pay — is a step in addressing rising income inequality, something he called "the defining challenge of our time." Data on income inequality does ...
Constitutional Scholar Comments on Supreme Court’s Newest ObamaCare Case
Washington, D.C. - With the U.S. Supreme Court set to address whether businesses can obtain a conscience exemption from ObamaCare's contraception mandate, a constitutional scholar with the Project 21 black leadership network is "pleased" the Court is addressing a "fundamental principle of religious liberty" that the Obama Administration has turned ...
Sharpton Late With “Knockout Game” Criticism
For being a self-appointed leader of the black Americans, the Reverend Al Sharpton seemed to be a little late to the game when it came to denouncing the hate crime that is being called the “knockout game.” In an apparently horrific logical progression of flash mob thievery and posted fight ...
Black Conservatives Draw Attention to ObamaCare’s Navigator-Gate
Wasn’t ObamaCare supposed to help pay for itself by reducing waste, fraud and abuse? In its latest bombshell investigative video release, Project Veritas found that federally-subsidized ObamaCare “navigators” — the people supposedly helping get Americans enrolled in the President’s namesake health care takeover — were willing to engage in less-than-ethical behavior ...
Too Big for One Man, or Just Obama? by Hughey Newsome
After the recent revelation that the National Security Agency monitored cell phone conversations in foreign countries, including the cell phone conversations of German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other world leaders, the excuse of President Obama's spokesmen and most ardent defenders was that he didn't know the NSA was conducting such ...
The Next Moves in the ObamaCare Deception, by Elaina F. George, MD
Americans are being led down the wrong path. There has been, and continues to be, a concerted effort on the part of liberal politicians — who are encouraged by the media — to convince the American people that their health care system is the worst in the industrialized world, that ...
Has Radical Feminism Achieved A Deceptive Victory? by Darryn “Dutch” Martin
American men are fed up and angry — and rightfully so. Sick of being constantly portrayed as rapists, abusers, bumbling idiots, irresponsible losers, deadbeat dads (if they're absent), immature fatherly buffoons (if they're present) or overall "bad guys" by the mainstream media and Hollywood, many men have reached a tipping ...
“Race Card” Not Enough to Protect Obama from Lies and Incompetence, by Derryck Green
To say the ObamaCare rollout has been difficult for President Obama is an understatement. It is the epitome of a disaster. Obama has been in damage-control mode since October 1. The release of his signature legislation, the misnamed Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare), has been disastrous. Bureaucratic incompetence is on full ...
A Practicing Physician’s Prescription for Fixing Health Care, by Elaina F. George, MD
Despite the desperate attempts at distraction and demonization and the outright lies about what ObamaCare does, the truth remains that having health insurance does not equal getting quality health care. There are definitely problems with the American health insurance industry. If anyone bothered to ask independent private physicians why they ...
Oh, SNAP: What They Forget to Say About Food Stamp Cuts, by Hughey Newsome
At the end of October, supplemental aid to the federal food stamp program — officially called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP — ran out.
