The Cafe'[Think Tank] : Now why is it important to show that Mitt Romney, Barack O'bama, and Hillary Clinton are linked to this healthcare bill? Because no matter how you vote come November you are going to get Rockefella's Bilderberg Whitehouse. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday she was "obviously quite excited" about the Supreme Court decision to uphold President Obama's signature healthcare legislation.  She made her remarks in St. Petersburg, Russia, where she had just arrived for meetings with her Russian counterpart. "I haven't had a chance to read the decision. I literally just heard as we landed that the Supreme Court has upheld the healthcare law. Obviously I want to get into the details, but I'm very pleased. That's how I hoped it would turn out," Clinton said in video posted by PSB's "NewsHour" and reported by   Agence France Presse. The high court ruled to uphold the healthcare la...

What Do You Want? It’s no secret that the vast majority of African Americans will vote for President Obama, but that does not mean we should not be asking for something in return from the President and all the politicians who get our vote. We’ve seen over the last few weeks how groups like the LGBT and Latino communities have gotten politicians like President Obama to act on their agenda.  We need to begin to formulate just what we are asking politicians for, in exchange for our support, so "What's Your Ask?" We will be gathering ideas for this on Washington Watch, but right now we want to hear from you. Please post your thoughts on what "The Ask" should be. n this week's Washington Watch "THE ASK" clip, Roland Martin encourages Black voters to ask politicians for what they want.

The Ku Klux Klan wants to take part in Georgia’s Adopt-A-Highway program by “adopting” a stretch of highway in North Georgia’s Union County , near the North Carolina border. If the KKK’s application to adopt a one-mile stretch of Route 515 is approved, it would allow the white supremacy group to receive official state recognition for cleaning litter from the road. According to the AJC , the Georgia Department of Transportation is reviewing the May 21 request filed by the International Keystone Knights of the KKK in Union County. The Georgia DOT are set to meet with lawyers from the state attorney general’s office to decide what to do. State Rep.

It's been the subject of much debate on how best to close the achievement gap between black youths and their peers, and a new study offers a fresh take -- are black students better off with black teachers?

Hunt's research -- which examined eighth-graders and teacher diversity in 198 Title I Texas schools -- revealed that the achievement gap between African-American and Caucasian students was greater on campuses with a larger percentage of African-American teachers. “At first glance, it would appear that teacher race do...

A Florida task force convened by Gov. Rick Scott to examine the state's controversial Stand Your Ground law is scheduled to have its first public meeting on Tuesday. The meeting comes amid lingering public angst and media interest over the wide discretion the Stand Your Ground law allows for the use deadly force in self-defense, and a slew of recent shootings in which people have attempted to invoke the law as a legal defense. The 19-member Task Force on Citizen Safety and Protection was formed in the wake of the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in late February, when neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman claimed self-defense in the fatal shooting of Martin, who was unarmed. Police initially declined to arrest Zimmerman, saying that he had a legal right to defend himself. Under the law, people have "no duty to retreat" when there is a "fear of imminent peril of death or great bodily harm." Zimmerman, 28, was arrested and ch...
