It is a slippery slope and a sticky conversation to circulating the internet about Essence Editor-in-Chief Angela Burt-Murray to hire a white editor. Folks preach diversity and when Essence decided to go with a white women folks are not feeling the decision? Unlike Vogue who will not publish an African issue and made their decision very clear. Essence is clearly thinking outside of the box and moving forward to bring in a white editor that have folks sounding off on the internet. It appears the publication is changing the direction of the publication to become mainstream and will not allow the color of an individual skin dictate their ability to perform the job for the black publication….perhaps it is about time for Essence to become a global magazine that caters to all women from different nationalities…not just black women. I don’t see what the problem is but hey I am just one voice out of the small group of folks sounding the alarm. Editor-in-Chief Angela Burt-Murray told Media Ink she’s aware of the controversy now playing out on Facebook after the magazine named Ellianna Placas, who has worked at O: The Oprah Magazine and US Weekly, as its fashion director but said she’s not changing course. Michaela Angela Davis, who was also founding fashion director for Vibe magazine and a onetime editor-in-chief of the print-version of black fashion magazine Honey, started the cyber controversy yesterday with a Facebook posting that has attracted dozens of comments.

President Obama showed up on the “View” today…he discussed the administration’s accomplishments, jobs, the economy, the Gulf oil spill and family life inside the White House. The president used the metaphor of roses and thorns to describe the ups and downs of his presidency, saying the last 20 months have been a nonstop effort for the economy and listing the BP oil spill and two wars as “thorns.” Not everyone is feeling the president appearance on daytime talk as an good move…He was blasted on Morning Joe, in the New York Daily News, and even by former View co-host Rosie O’Donnell. Issue: They echoed that a sitting president with so much on his hands should not be doing daytime.
Last week I listened to all of the commentary about Reggie Bush and the USC removing every trace of his existence from the school. Since I am on the topic of race…let’s go in. I believe that this is an racial issue on many levels. Here is a black football player who clearly earned his award fair and square. The NCAA come after a long sleeping period to penalize the school, the players and future football players who hope to attend USC? Hell no it is not fair…matter of fact the rules should change to benefit the kids who play football for the schools. They risk their bodies all in the name of football. No one talks about the injuries the players endure off the field, how they must maintain a GPA average to maintain their partial or full scholarship, columbines fees, camps at the parents expense, gear at the parents expense, the rigorous training day in and day out and proper eating to maintain a certain body weight. All of this without any endorsements, stipend or salary until the player is drafted into the professional league. No one talks about the struggles that the student endures to simply buy a book if they are not granted a full ride, nor the lack of spending money for the goodies that most college students want like the school gear…tea-shirts, sweatshirts and the numerous cleats that are worn out after a few games. No sir…no one is talking about that. Instead we are focusing on whether to strip former Southern California running back Reggie Bush of the award he won in 2005 honoring college football’s top player. Future football players and parents should be up in arms about the NCAA decision because this could have been your son being stripped of his recognition and achievements that placed the USC college on the map as being one of the best colleges to attend. Reggie Bush should keep his trophy…he earned it fair and square. Glen Beck is going in about Martin Luther King and how the whites were the ones who started the revolution? Oh really now! Looks like Beck is gearing up for his rally in August during the same time Al Sharpton is rallying to “Reclaim the Dream!” Beck states that President Obama hates white folks…uh huh! It was a majority of white folks who voted our President into office. I am not buying this bullshit…..Beck go in about the Black Panthers who go out and get really vocal about hating white folks in this video. Now that is an issue but what about those tea partyer’s who clearly have shown their disdain for other racial groups? All of these folks who spew racial hatred toward folks got some serious issues they need to work out….
 Photograph by Jake Chessum for Newsweek Al Sharpton has been on his grind since he hit the sidewalks running to fight discrimination and injustices against folks in this country since the civil right era. Dude is relentless, does not give a damn about the naysayers and could care less if you don’t like him. One thing is for certain is we need someone on the forefront to fight for reclaiming our dreams during this horrific economic crisis folks in my generation have experience over the past several years. We have had banks lie to us about interest rates, watch banks get bailed out, police act a fool on the very streets they are suppose to protect us, a black president who is taking a beating for every failure our country has witness from our television screens and most of all unemployed folks striving to get a JOB despite how much it pays…all American people are struggling to reclaim their dreams and to save face during this recession.
