Food for thought

African Americans make up 16% of America's population and 26% of them are killed by America's policemen.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon, a fraternity on the campus of the University of Oklahoma has declared that they will never let "N-words" join. If there are any brothers out there who would want to join this group, please contact Mad Man immediately. To the members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, we hear your apology but your actions will never be accepted or forgotten.

Now that ISIS is destroying historical monuments and buildings in their quest to eliminate the history of the world, maybe the Arabs and Muslims will now fight for their freedom and protect the cultural artifacts that made their region so important.

"Boko Haram", when translated means, "western education is forbidden"

Is Mad Man the only person who feels that Michael Brown's parents should remain silent and accept the fact that their son was not the angel that they proclaim? It still does not justify the young man being shot by police officer Darren Wilson.

Wasn't it a sad irony as it relates to the racial climate in America when another unarmed African American man was killed in Madison Wisconsin while the President was in Selma to commemorate one of the most important historical events in this country?

Do you think that the accusations by whites that African Americans are "playing the race card"
when they question how they are being treated? Is this just an excuse to not discuss racial issues?

Is it fair that America's legal system can sue Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke and make them pay $ 7.3  million dollars as compensation to the family of Marvin Gaye for copyright infringement because "Blurred Lines" sounds too much like "Got to give it up"? Yet, ITunes and other internet music providers have received 25 million hits on Pharrell's song "Happy", and to date, he has only received $ 2,500.00 from these sources.

Does the fact that no Republican Presidential candidate attended the commemoration of the "Bloody Sunday" March on Selma finally prove to Negroes what this political group of bigots really think of them?

Again, Mad Man asks.......WHY WOULD ANY AFRICAN AMERICAN WANT TO BE A REPUBLICAN ????????
