Comment on Antiques auction selling neck shackles accused of ‘profiting from slavery’ by Winner

Winner — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 04:39:51 +0000

This story is honestly disturbing, not just because of the shackles themselves, but because they’re being treated as collectible items instead of symbols of real human suffering. I understand the argument about preserving history, but selling them for profit feels like crossing a line. Some things should be remembered with respect, not commercial value.

Anita G Phillips was the lead scorer on this team, 43 points to be exact. She’s not in the photos because she was sick with the flu. Anita passed December 6th 2022. She was definitely a champion.

Comment on Mayor Leonardo Williams On Durham’s Economic Future by Lou Jent-Clough

Lou Jent-Clough — Sun, 21 Dec 2025 00:30:50 +0000

Our mayor wants visitors to buy things from Black businesses, and doesn’t want to fund public housing. Certainly sounds as if he’s looking for someone to save us besides him. That isn’t a set of policies that has worked, that’s Reganomics in action.

Can you send me a digital copy of the article about “How The Thompson Institute Transformed Black Education…” that appeared I the Vol 86, No 7 publication? It ran on page 6 opposite the article about Shaw Univ. and The HBCU Gala. I really enjoyed the article and Henry Knuckles was a relative of my in-law family who lived in Lumberton.

Comment on The Go See NC Series: A Day In … Little Washington, NC by Ty Carter

Ty Carter — Thu, 10 Apr 2025 16:29:38 +0000

Nice article by please don’t refer to Washington as “Little” it should be properly addressed as the nomenclature it is as “The Original”. The term “Little” has been dubbed by outsiders and northerners retiring to this area not informed of the correct title of our town and them adopting their own terms of endearment, which are quite offensive to most of the original citizens from this area… we are not little anything… I assure you; our budget is not little, our municipals are not little, our banks are not little and our town is not little… Refer to the area by which it is properly titled, nationally recognized and historically known as. I don’t want to start a flaming war of words here, would just prefer to be called appropriately as it is. I am a lifelong resident in Washington and try to correct this mislabeled information, when and where found.

Comment on Criminalizing Poverty Practices by Viora Johnson

This is a very fair and informative article. If we as a people would fight for equitable resolves , the balance may come.
As we open our eyes and enlighten ourselves to truth inside of comprehension, and stop dramatically drawing conclusions to circumstances magnified to fuel our emotions, possibly we can to places of agreement. This is a powerful informational tool Dr Martinez. Thank you for your candor.

Comment on Celebrating Juneteenth by Viora Johnson

This is a very informative, simple to understand & timely article. We need to always be reminded, so as a culture of people we don’t resign ourselves to marching chants, but to the provocation of perusing actual change. The numbers tell the truth. That matters.

Comment on Gun owners can soon openly carry pistols with permit in SC by Bob Dender

Bob Dender — Sun, 15 Aug 2021 15:33:54 +0000

While I would like to SS South Carolina become a “Second Amendment Sanctuary” I believe it to be totally irresponsible to not require training before one could openly carry. I am afraid if we do not require training before the ability to open carry we are inviting a case of the “Wild West Syndrome “ which would eventually play into the hands of the anti gun faction.

Comment on OpEd : My Message To Black America by Teferra Getachew

Teferra Getachew — Mon, 02 Nov 2020 18:28:43 +0000

I consider myself “African” and politically “independent” but leaning toward Republican. I lived in America long enough to learn by experience about Democratic Party promises that never became realized. In American politics they call it the “carrot” on the stick” politics to drive the public from one election to another. For me, Democrats have died long time ago that no politics can revive them again. Twice democrats controlled both houses and had two known “liberal” presidents in the White House and both two term presidents. The latter one, the son of African immigrant, and when elected, many African immigrants and descents and many other nationals thought democrats will make a fundamental change in American politics. During his second term election time, I know many naturalized African decent citizens refused to go the polls to vote for again for the son of African immigrant candidate. I am not blaming him but making a statement that Democratic Party is not the Party of the people that encloses we the African decent or they are not willing to make changes in America that will benefit African descendants and in fact all other nationals, the living proof. We are told only promises that trillions of dollars of programs will be made. America is the richest country in the world but have within it people, for only their hate, who instead will prefer to throw away the trillions of dollars into the ocean than seeing minorities mostly African decent have better life. For that reason America lost confidence and faith from minorities. I once in another political platform declared that when I live in America, I will live with another friendly nation’s laws and constitution. I never studied American political science or law, but by experience and observations. My war against democrats or against their proposed programs and promises will show or tell about my knowledge of the unseen or the hidden behind the democrats rhetoric. I am not American citizen and can not vote but if I were, all democrats know I would have vote for Donald Trump not only “what is that I will loose,” but what is mitigated, the hidden, the unseen.

Jim Wayne — Mon, 02 Nov 2020 17:19:32 +0000

I am proud of what President Trump has done for the country. This should have happened years ago, but especially in the last presidents 2 terms. I am 100% for the black community getting the chance to achieve the American dream and thank you for being the president that took action. I have already voted and a lot of my in laws converted to voting republican. They looked at things with an open mind instead of the D letter. The one thing is I asked is to go full force to dig up the entrenched, smelly, bottom of the swamp, the hangers of that have any ties or links to the cccp branch of the democratic party.
