I recently read a Blog Article titled “Prosperity Consciousness in the Caribbean” (October 2, 2011 – AkosFintor.net).  In my understanding, Fintor, suggests that the people of the Caribbean do not possess the proper mindset to gain or sustain prosperity.  He further states that if the Caribbean people who migrate take their old mindset with them, then they do not actually benefit from

Recently, the Media, Baseball Commissioner, Bud Selig, and Baseball Team Owners, tried to turn the public against Baseball Players.  It’s a ploy - the age-old, so-called “War on Drugs.”  This war crops up from time to time not only in professional Baseball, but also in Football, Basketball and Ice Hockey.  Why?  Whenever players are not producing and owners are

Women, have you met da Vinci?  Not the famous Italian inventor and artist of yesteryear.  No, I’m talking about the very futuristic Robotic Intuitive Surgical System that Silicon Valley has developed. Hospitals are staking their future economic success on this revolutionary device, and women appear to be the main target.  With a promise of speedy recovery from

This article on the Internet ( "Does Sanya Richards-Ross’ long hair slow her down?” ) caught my attention this morning.   I have discussed this very issue at home while watching the Olympic games.  However, I believe there is another more sinister problem with Sports Competitors with long pony tails switching back and forth during competitions, especially in Track & Field.&

Any Black mother and father in this country must go to bed and wake up every day with a heavy heart.  They wonder if today is going to be that day when they get a knock at their door and they are greeted by a cold stare offering meaningless apologies. When a child is brought into this world, its’ parent wishes for nothing more than to see his or her child attain adulthood and take

Oprah is finished.  Her twenty-five year reign as “Queen of the Talk Shows” has evaporated.  Her political and financial spheres of influence have declined.  Her Midas touch is completely devalued; up-and-coming entrepreneurs no longer vie for her approval.  She simply misunderstood and mistimed her exit from the mainstream Media arena.  It is not even a year since she

Yes, once more African-Americans are forced to prove to the other Americans that they too are Americans; and they have the legitimate right to participate in the social and political fabric of this great nation. Even though the Arabs started the African Slave Trade, it was the Empire-building Europeans who usurped and deprived the African continent of its human wealth.  The blood of

"Adults Blame Parents for Education Problems” by Donna Gordon Blankinship is the first responsible article I’ve read which places the blame for the failure of the education of their children on the parents. Having taught in Inner-City, Public Elementary Schools for ten years, I was so glad to hear that. I loved sharing my knowledge with the students; however, I found the majority of the parents

Every few years Americans suffer a catastrophic economic wake-up call that sends them into a tailspin. The joblessness now plaguing America would not be so devastating, if American workers were paying attention. The internet is flooded with articles chronicling credit card debt, job loss and out sourcing. William Hughes’ “Jobless in America” (2002) and Norma Sherry’s “Out Sourcing America: Job

I knew that Summer had started when I had the misadventure of travelling away from Los Angeles on Interstate 10 and sirens and flashing blue lights forced me over a lane.  Traffic came to a dead stop as up to five police cars slowly followed a small pick-up truck.  Behind the wheel was a young man apparently enjoying the commotion he was creating. For most Southern

The geniuses behind TV Ads certainly understand the art of getting under the viewers’ skin. The numerous Ads about erectile dysfunction are the source of my latest pet peeve. Am I the only woman who finds these Ads offensive? In my opinion, these ads offer unrealistic images. In one ridiculous scenario, a woman and man hold hands in a wide-open grassy field… while they sit in separate bathtubs

Anyone who is an American Citizen understands and values the membership of an elite club. In 1985 when I became an American Citizen, I registered to vote. Since then, I enjoy the privilege of voting in every election. Therefore, it is hard to accept that Meg Whitman could not find the time to vote until she was in her forties. Now after years of working in the private sector, Ms. Whitman is

A few weeks ago, I was watching MSNBC and Chris Matthews said something we all think, but are too frightened to say.  He posed the question, “What age should senators retire?” The United States Congress needs to clean house.  Their age for retirement should be the same as the public. The United States Congress is like a “Retirement Commune” for a majority of overpaid rich white dudes

I am considering taking up yoga again after been sidelined by two knee surgeries and arthritic pain. I must confess that I am also interested in maintaining a youthful appearance and in anything that gives me an edge. I have taken ballroom dancing, tennis, badminton, group aerobic exercise, swimming, yoga, tai chi, and even djembe classes; however, I am hopeless at every one of these. I

Whether information comes from the radio, television, internet, or newspaper, one cannot help but hear the talking heads and so-called experts admonishing Americans on their weight problems.  Some overweight Americans take it personally.  They try to do something about it. On the other hand, others take a defensive stance.  They revel in the idea that being fat is gorgeous.
