A Open Letter to the Minneapolis Aquatennial and the Downtown Minneapolis Council
The veiws expressed in this article bring up questions about the state of business, organizations and large ad agencies that choose to ignore the fact that by the year 2025 the United States will be a nation of color…
It is malicious and heinous that the Downtown Minneapolis Council/Minneapolis Auqatennial has turned back time and asked African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Somalians and Native Americans to use the white only drinking fountain as it pertains to not partnering or placing advertising in any of the before mentioned minority ethnic media outlets. This “keep them at the back door” strategic and planned approach by your non-profit organization will not be tolerated anymore.
The minority-ethnic community of Minneapolis deserves to be informed about every event the City of Minneapolis, Downtown Minneapolis Council and the Minneapolis Aquatennial has to offer to the mainstream community. This has become an issue of race.
Consistently, your organization has ignored minority-ethnic communities by having events that supposedly would not attract minority-ethnics to the downtown area during the Aquatennial. It’s unfortunate that the spending power of African-Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Somalians and Native Americans in Minneapolis outweigh the spending power of your upper-middle class target because some of us still show up to these events and spend our hard earned dollars with your sponsors.
You are not the only ones GUILTY of this “all inclusive with exclusion” marketing concept. The Minnesota State Fair and Orchestra Hall boldly go there every year for the last 20 years.
What Malcolm X, Martin Luther King fought and died for is non-apparent in the Minneapolis marketplace. Statements to the minority-ethnic media from you and other advertisers like, “your outlet has no perceived value to our organization”, can be combated with numbers that show by using the ethnic-minority media your sponsors, clients and the general public would be reached and your organization would exceed the set expectations for community engagement.

The Republican Party and Blacks
This article was written by Dr. Errington C. Thompson, MD. It was posted on this site with his permission. For more information and to visit his Blog, go to www.whereistheoutrage.net
By Errington C. Thompson, MD (June 2008)
My good friend, Timothy Johnson, Ph.D., was recently honored by the Buncombe County Republican party. Timothy Johnson has been elected party chair. It did not go unnoticed that he is the first black elected party chair in Buncombe County – Republican or Democratic. In an interview with the Weaverville newspaper, Tim commented on how many blacks are “ignorant” of the bedrock beliefs of the Republican Party. Dr. Johnson believes that the ideals of the Republican Party line up very well with the ideals of the Black community.
Before I go on any further, I would like to say that no one and no party has cornered the market on ethics or morality. There are bad and evil people that are motivated by greed and power in both parties. But, with that being said, I think we can look over the past 40 years and honestly begin to evaluate which party truly benefited Blacks and continues to benefit minorities and the underprivileged. Let’s look at a few issues.
Civil rights. This one is easy. There is no contest. In the 60s the Democrats stood with Blacks. Southern Democrats there were opposed to integration did not like the direction of the party and slowly but surely left the Democratic Party and joined the Republican Party. Were there individual Republicans who believed that integration was inevitable? Were there individual Republicans who believed that segregation was an abomination? I think the answer is yes on both counts. Did the Republican party change their platform in 1964 and 1968 to appease Southern Whites? Yes.
The Economy. Republicans like to talk about cutting government spending. I lived in Texas most of my life. Republicans rule in Texas. I saw the state government cut so deeply that some regulatory agencies had to stop regulating. They had to fire some government workers because there was no more money. Republicans stood back and smiled but when you go to the DMV and have to wait 2 or 3 hours just to talk to someone before you can begin the process of getting your license? Please think of those cuts. When you get a brand new tatoo which gives you a skin infection or possibly even hepatitis because there was not enough inspectors to regularly inspect that parlor who’s smiling now?
When Ronald Reagan took office he promised to cut the size of government and to cut government spending. Conservatives talk eloquently about how masterful Reagan was with the budget. They forget to tell you that the budget deficit grew during the Reagan years. No matter how the Republicans like to sugar coat their policies, the fact that under Reagan, Bush and now, George W. Bush the budget deficit has grown completely flies in the face of fiscal responsibility. Even the conservative Cato Institute, in an article by Chris Edwards states, “Reagan’s failure was that he did not control federal spending growth. By 1989, federal spending was up 69 percent from 1981. The deficit widened.”
In my own book, A Letter to America, I criticized the Bush administration for its tax cuts for the rich. I believe that your tax policy should reflect your morals beliefs. The budget process is more than pushing numbers around. The process should reflect the hopes and dreams of America. Take for example, a small and simple program like LIHEAP (low income heating and energy assistance program), this program provides assistance to the poor for heat in the winter and air conditioning in the summer. Who can be against this program? The Bush administration. Bush tried to cut funding for this program several years in a row. In 2003, it took a Senate vote (88-4) to force the Bush administration to release the funding. You can’t tell me that this helps Blacks, minorities or the poor.
Race. When President Reagan increased the low interest rates on student loans, it was clear that he really did not understand the needs of working Americans. When Ronald Reagan stood by and supported Apartheid well that’s a completely different story or is it? You don’t have to take my word for it, take Bishop Desmond Tutu’s. In 1984, while on Capital Hill, Bishop Tutu blasted Reagan’s support of South Africa, “In my view, the Reagan administration’s support and collaboration with it is equally immoral, evil, and totally un-Christian. . . . You are either for or against apartheid and not by rhetoric. You are either in favor of evil or you are in favor of good. You are either on the side of the oppressed or on the side of the oppressor. You can’t be neutral.”
Right wing Republican think tanks have been working on trying to reverse affirmative action for over 30 years. Affirmative action is fundamental to the progress that we have seen recently. From Justice Clarence Thomas to Barack Obama, affirmative action has begun to equalize the playing field. Thomas came from a small town in Georgia. Why would Holy Cross take him in 1967? He wasn’t a great student from a small Georgia town. In college, he did well then went on to Yale. Remember before affirmative action, colleges would simply pass over Blacks and other minorities. Whether they were qualified or not. No matter how some folks try to spin affirmative action, it is an excellent program that has benefited Blacks, Whites, Latinos … Americans.
Education. This is the great equalizer. You can lift someone out of poverty by giving them the winning lottery ticket or by giving them an education. There are no guarantees in life but an education maybe the closest thing. Everyone has seen the numbers that the average income for someone without a high school diploma is about $23,000. The average income for someone with a college degree is $52,000.
With student loans harder and harder to come by and college tuition going up faster than the price of gas, college students need some help. Unfortunately, the Bush administration has had none to offer. There is no major program that the Bush administration has designed to help college students.
No Child Left Behind. The fact that the program has never been fully funded should be considered a crime. The whole concept of teaching to a test just never sat well with me. There is no data suggesting that testing equals learning which is the whole basis of NCLB. As a matter of fact, I think that the opposite happens. When focusing on the information for a test, students and teachers miss great learning opportunities.
Reagan, Bush, Sr. and Bush, Jr. have trying to suck funding out one of the only government programs that has been universally praised – Head Start. This program has been credited for helping minorities get out of poverty. We need more programs like it and not less. We need a Head Start like program for middle school and for high school, so our children can get ahead and stay ahead.
One of the best hoaxes played on the American people are school vouchers. The Republicans have been pushing this idea from coast to coast for some time. The idea is if your public school isn’t performing well then you should be able to take your child out of public school and place your child in some other school using public funds. It sounds great. Of course, if you pull funds out of failing schools how are those schools going to get any better. Actually, these cash strapped schools should get increased funding if they are failing. We need better teachers and better books and facilities in these schools. The other side of voucher hoax is where are you going to try to put your child? Is there a good school that has a bunch of openings for kids from failing schools. No. School vouchers are just another way to cripple the public educational system.
Tim Johnson, I congratulate you on your new position but I don’t think that the Republican party has been friendly to minorities in general or Blacks in particular. I saw Senator John McCain, the Republican party’s presidential nominee, last week speak in Kenner, La, just outside New Orleans. He spoke in front of an almost completely White crowd. Outside of Governor Jindal, I was unable to see any face of color in the crowd. I have watched the video several times. I think that’s telling. You can’t tell me that you can’t find a Black face in Southern Louisiana. Tim, I wish you good luck hopefully you can change the Republican party for the better.

Finally, I must say something about Barack Obama. Wow. It is simply amazing. A Black man is the nominee of the Democratic party. This Black man isn’t running for dog catcher or mayor or even governor, but for President of the United States. I didn’t want to get my hopes up but it was a thrill to see him win in Iowa. I was crushed when he didn’t win in New Hampshire. He then won and won big in South Carolina. It was after South Carolina, I knew something different was happening. I watched him rake in money over the internet. No one has ever done this. No one. 1.6 million donors!?!? I watched his speeches but I also watched the enthusiasm that he generated. I just knew something bad was going to happen. Something awful. Something like he never paid his taxes, ever or he used to drown baby seals. I didn’t know. I just felt something was going to trip him up. He racked up 13 victories in February and the Democratic race was really over. Yes, there was “bitter-gate” and Reverend Jeremiah Wright but Barack Obama turned negatives into positives and kept on going. Finally, there was a Democratic Presidential candidate that I enthusiastically run to polls and vote for. Barack Obama, Democratic nominee for president. Man, oh, man. I just wish my father had lived to see it. For the first time, last Tuesday night, we would have cried, together.
Buyer Remorse…I too was duped by Keith Ellison’s considerable charm
This year’s Minnesota Fifth Congressional District has two canidates. Keith Ellison (D) and Barb Davis White (R). It is important that “We the people” look a both canidates and make the right choice.
The story that was posted here was old news. We can only provide you with the “tools” you need to make an educated choice.
Thank you.

Can’t think of that totally awesome domain name for a new website? PickyDomains is a risk-free domain naming service that got a lot of publicity and ‘blogtalk’ in Europe lately despite being only two months old. This is how it works. A customer deposits $50 dollars and describes what kind of domain he or she wants. Domain pickers then send in their suggestions of available domain names. If the customer likes one of the domain names and registers it, the service gets $50. Otherwise the money is refunded at the end of the month.
Dave Schrader of Circle Pines and Tim Dennis of Burnsville are leading groups on trips to haunted hotels and spooky cruise ships. The two started an online radio show called “Darkness Radio” in January 2006. Within a year, their weekly broadcasts had made them celebrities among fanciers of otherworldly mystery.
They then began asking the stars of T-V shows about the supernatural to cohost weekends at haunted destinations. Among the locations are the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado — made famous by the movie “The Shining.” Travelers pay between 180 dollars to 250 dollars for the trips — not including transportation or lodging
Peasy.com is an online marketplace for parking spaces, enabling drivers to search for and book spaces before they leave home, and letting British homeowners monetize unused parking spaces by adding them to the Peasy network. To rent out a parking space, the owner needs to register and enter all relevant details, including price, when the space is available, and whether it will be rented out daily, weekly, or both. Those who require parking can then search for suitable parking spaces and securely book them online, or first negotiate a better price.
Frustrated with the whole process of recruitment agencies Jamie Mistlin and Anna Taylor decided to design a new system where employers and candidates could communicate directly with each other. The site allows companies to book temporary workers directly via our bespoke fully-automated online system. Both parties can even negotiate the hourly rates directly online, as the service does not filter or distribute CVs. Instead candidates market themselves directly to companies via the website.
Tom Taylor never expected to be a player in the business world; he just wanted to play video games. But as he got better and better, his passion for competitive gaming–and his desire to share his expertise with others–grew. Last year, Taylor, a top-five rated player in the pro-gaming circuit, started a video game coaching business to help others who wanted to improve their games. “I wanted to offer them a shortcut so they didn’t have to go through what I did to learn,” says Taylor, who started playing video games at age 7. Running his business, Gaming-Lessons, out of his Jupiter, Fla., home, Taylor draws dozens of clients from middle-school kids to middle-aged parents and from college students to celebrities. His fees? A whopping $65 an hour.
Two years ago, Eli Reich was a mechanical engineer consultant for a Seattle wind energy company when his messenger bag was stolen. The environmentally conscious Reich, who rode his bike to work every day, decided that instead of buying a new one, he would simply fashion another bag out of used bicycle-tire inner tubes that were lying around his house. Soon compliments on his sturdy black handmade messenger bag turned into requests. “That was the catalyst,” says Reich, who obtained a business license, gave up his day job, and quickly launched Alchemy Goods in the basement of his apartment building. The company’s motto: “Turning useless into useful.”
Got rich friends and need to look the part? Those that can’t afford to buy the latest Fendi purse can still sport it thanks to Bag Borrow or Steal, a designer handbag rental startup that allows customers to pay a monthly fee, pick and order handbags online, and borrow them for as long as they like.

When Jason Engen was an undergraduate student at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, he and his friends knew the challenges students faced in finding worthwhile internships. So for one of his business classes, Engen wrote a business plan detailing a concept for an internship placement service–one that would interview and screen students and match them with local companies that needed interns. “We hit a nerve in terms of the marketplace and focused 100 percent of our efforts on students,” says Engen. “We started a week after we graduated, and it took off.”

When July hit Miami in 1998, everyone seemed to be enjoying the dog days of summer–except the dogs. As owners took giant swigs from their 32-ounce water bottles, their dogs ran to and fro, wearily retrieving makeshift toys in the afternoon heat. It was on one sunny afternoon in July that Carlotta Lennox rolled by a park on a pair of rollerblades, noticed that the dogs looked tired and hungry, and realized how she could give the day back to the dogs. Seven years later, the first Hey Buddy pet vending machine was established in Bark Park Central, an off-leash dog park in Dallas. Lennox, 36, stocked the machine with dog treats, tennis balls, dog shirts, dog glasses–basically everything a dog might need for a walk in the park. And with its shingled roof and slated facade, the doghouse-inspired vending machine was hard to miss–which meant pets and their owners weren’t the only ones begging Lennox for more.
Barb Davis White Brings Hope and Healing for the Fifth Congressional District of Minnesota
It’s almost like a dream. You wake up one morning and decide you’ve had enough. You think, “What can I do to assist the community I love so dearly?”
- Barb Davis White on “Why Congress?”
Barb Davis White is running for Congress in Minnesota’s Fifth Congressional District against Keith Ellison. In July, four months prior to elections, the significance of selecting the next congressperson may not be a priority, but it should be.
In 2006, Martin Sabo (DFL) retired after 26 years in the House. Keith Ellison, also a DFLer, replaced him. Although Ellison was endorsed by the DFL convention, three non-endorsed candidates ran strong campaigns against him in the DFL primary: Mike Erlandson, Ember Reichgott Junge and Paul Ostrow. Ellison won the primary with 41% of the vote. In the general election, he won with 56% of the vote against Jay Pond of the Green Party, Tammy Lee of the Independence Party and Alan Fine of the Republican Party. Ellison is the first Muslim member of the U.S. Congress, representing the Fifth Congressional District of Minnesota. Barb Davis White has been welcomed and embraced by the Muslim community of the Fifth Congressional District and across the State.
Let’s look deeper into the Fifth Congressional District, says Davis White. The families of the Fifth Congressional District have been the hardest hit by unemployment, cutbacks in the public schools and the mortgage foreclosure crisis in our state. Although, ACORN has partnered with the Minneapolis Urban League, (Congressman Ellison’s office is in the Minneapolis Urban League and his campaign headquarters are above the Denny’s on Lake Street near the Light Rail corridor), the crisis grows. If you follow the money trail, you’ll see that the funding or “grants” that should go directly to homeowners, with qualifications of course, is going to “experts” to consult families losing their dreams and hopes for a future. These experts are, in some instances, former mortgage bankers, lending and credit approval personnel and others who have played both sides of the feast and famine of the real estate game. The families and individuals of Minnesota’s Fifth Congressional District are in need of some proactive, aggressive change to turn the tables on poverty, homelessness and hopelessness. In this case individuals can’t look at drawing party lines or voting for the favorite, they have to look at who speaks to them. The Democratic machine has not provided a pipeline for economic stimuli in areas like north Minneapolis for over 5 years. If you look at pockets of the Fifth Congressional District (geographical), you see areas labeled as “empowerment zones” by the federal government that have seen very little or no economic growth. The Democratic Party has virtually failed the Fifth Congressional District’s poor and working class.
Who is Barb Davis White?
Barb Davis White is the widow of Pastor Kenneth White, and former daughter-in-law to Harry Davis, a Minneapolis civil rights leader, head of Minneapolis School Board and first black candidate for mayor in late ‘60s and early ‘70s. Davis White is determined to make a change in the Fifth Congressional District.
Davis White attended the University of Minnesota for Mortuary Science and Bethel Theological Seminary, where she earned an M.A. in Theology. She attended Logos Bible College, and became a licensed, ordained pastor. Her work in the prison community exceeds the expectations and call of duty in the community.
Barb Davis White: A Common Sense Approach to Government
According to the non-partisan Citizens Against Government Waste, Congress rammed 11,160 earmarks totaling $17.2 billion into spending bills during the 2008 fiscal year. “This year, Congress approved a federal budget with a $685 billion deficit and last year approved a budget with a $450 billion deficit,” said Davis White. “We spend on programs we don’t need, and spend inefficiently on those we do need. My opponent, Congressman Keith Ellison, proposes expanding government on your dime. He advocates a new federal department of peace. Government programs that bloat the system forcing taxpayers work ever longer and harder.” Recent information from the Heritage Foundation claims that of the $25,117 the US Government redistributes, on average per household, $455 goes to mass transit/highways. “This is grossly inefficient. The dollars flow to Washington, flow back to the states minus administrative costs and with loads of strings attached. Local control and local decision making are side-stepped,” explains Davis White, noting that a common sense approach is to have the state to collect the taxes and determine whether the money should be spend on buses, roads or railways.
Davis White comments that this Congress has witnessed unprecedented hikes in fuel and food prices, and has refused to take action on Social Security. Also this Congress has constructed an incoherent energy policy. Yet Democratic Congressional aspirants threaten to reward this governmental dysfunction by hiking taxes.
“We need a different approach: A common sense approach.”
In 2001 and 2003, Congress signed tax cuts which lowered income tax rates, stimulated the economy, aided job creation and increased personal and business investments. These are set to expire if Congress allows. The Death Tax rate, capital gains rate, rate on dividends — all expire. It is unlikely that a congress led by the opposition will approve $1000 tax credit per child, marriage penalty relief, or the tax rate cuts. As a result, Americans will face alarmingly higher taxes at a time when we are also facing high fuel costs. Barb Davis White is ready to move in the direction of change for your families, wives, husbands, children and grandparents of the Fifth Congressional District of Minnesota. Her passion, enthusiasm and commitment about changing the course of the current funding streams to help create education, employment, wealth and independence for all people is one that is not new, but sidetracked by the current Democratic machine in the Fifth district.
