Dark Perspectives: An ethnic column by a new HRO African American contributor

Greetings brothers and sisters.

My name is reginald Howard and I am a sigma cum laude graduate of Morehouse College, with experience writing about topics from politics to minority rights both domestically and internationally. I have been around the block a few times, growing up in one of the most bustling environments in the world, and seeing real social change happen because of the hard work and elbow grease of leaders. Change is something I am passionate about. No, change is not something that happened when Obama was enthroned, but it is something that we as Americans, no matter the color of our skin or the richness of our wallets must embrace. Martin Luther King once said ‘I have a dream’, and he was right–we all have dreams…but what must we do to accomplish them?

Many people are afraid to talk about race, since it is such a double-edged sword. Whether it is the white or Jewish-run media, or even black outlets, why can’t we work towards a more transparent landscape, where a man is judged on the quality of his work, but not by his attire or skin color. White, black, brown, latino, creole, asian, african. We are all the same under God’s eyes, so we must work as one to build a better future for tomorrow’s children and even further generations to come.

I believe hipster runoff is a beautiful thing, but one must analyze the term ‘hipster’ in order to see the bigger goal of the site. I believe when one is hip, he or she is cultured, and ready to take the world by storm to a whole new level. Hipness means new perspectives, and ideas that the common man and jew+white run media would consider to be ‘dangerous.’ Dangerous to the way things are. In my upcoming column, Dark Perspectives, I will give you insights into the underbelly of progressive opinions. I will give you racially transparent hard takes on any thing from politics, to sports, or even business ethics. The truth is out there, and we can embrace it if we want together.

Take for instance the Tiger Woods saga. We see one of our black leaders being distrusted and misrepresented by the white world, used as a pawn to make money for corporations, but then it is the same people who built him up who shall tear him down. No, I’m not talking about Jesus Christ, I’m talking about one of many black community leaders who are exploited to rally and control our people, but then used as a scapegoat for many of society’s problems. It’s not about drinking, sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll. There are simply two Americas, and we must do something to run a fine line to the fountain of goodness if we want our society to advance and solve global crises with issues like terrorism, the Iran, the Iraq, and even the nuclear issues with the Koreans.

Men don’t see the dangers and evils in the world today, nor do they do much to educate themselves. Many blacks, whites, latinos, and other races don’t place a value on the education of mankind. Instead, they sit playing violent video games, feeding media addictions to pornography such as myspace, facebook, and rap music, without pursuing a brighter future. No role models has meant the social fabric of our innercities, suburban wastelands, and even urban spaces have become dangerous crack dens filled with dangers beyond drugs and lethargy. We must do something to save our America, and our America must do something to save the world.  No longer can we keep letting men die in prisons, shipping away our degenerates and no-gooders.  We must work to save them, prevent them from happening before they even know who they are.

My name is Reginald, and I am your brother. Together we can build something special, bringing up controversial topics and analyzing them from a race-free perspective. I am not afraid of the jew and white man status quo of the world, and together we can fight to save tomorrow for our children and the impoverished citizens of areas like Detroit, New Orleans, Tallahassee, and other functioning slums in America.   While I am a black author and writer, I do wish to be considered a colourless writer, writing for truth and glory that our troops fight for every day.

God bless,
Reginald Howard
