  • The Blame Game (Ezekiel
    “The Blame Game” EZEKIEL 18 Baxter T. Exum (#1170) Four Lakes Church of Christ Madison, Wisconsin June 17, 2012 Perhaps some of you have run across the story of a lame duck president meeting his successor in the Oval Office. They are working on the transition from one administration to the next, and on the day before the inauguration, the outgoing president presents the incoming leader with three numbered envelopes and tells him to open those envelopes in order whenever he faces a great difficulty. Well, after the new president had a pretty good honeymoon period with the press and the public, the economy took a serious downturn, and so the new president opened the first envelope. Inside Envelope #1 there was a very simple note that said, “Blame me.” And so over the next few days, the new president blamed the old president for all of the economic woes. Some time later, the new president faced a social crisis, and the crisis brought with it some very serious unrest. And so the president opened the next envelope. Inside Envelope #2 there was another very simple message, “Blame my party.” And so for the next several days, the president blamed the party of the previous administration. He turned it all political and got the two groups fighting against one another, and after a few weeks, the president was able to distance himself from that situation. And then, about a year later, the nation faced a serious foreign policy challenge, and as a last result, the president opened that final envelope, and in Envelope #3 there was also a very simple message, and the message said, “Prepare three envelopes.” It seems that we as a society love blaming other people for what we have done – from the president all the way down to little children playing in the back yard – most of us will do everything in our power to avoid taking responsibility.

  • GRAMMY U Presents ALBUM REVIEW: KANYE WEST – “MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY” by LESLEY GWAM CONTINUED from MAIN PAGE
    GRAMMY U Presents ALBUM REVIEW: KANYE WEST – “MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY” BY LESLEY GWAM CONTINUED FROM MAIN PAGE Anyone who has read my blog (http://hiphopheadmistress.wordpress.com), knows that I absolutely adore Kanye West. So just like any other Yeezy fanatic, I rushed to my nearest music store to purchase My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy on November 22. To be completely honest, I was skeptical about purchasing West’s sixth studio release, because I loathed 808s & Heartbreak (the auto-tune is too much for my senses to handle. I like my rappers to rap, and my singers to sing, unless you’re Queen Latifah and can do both. But this is a discussion for another Wednesday Word). I was quickly won over, however, by his weekly G.O.O.D. Friday releases from kanyewest.com, particularly “Chain Heavy” and “The Joy.” While My Dark Twisted Fantasy does contain a fair amount of auto-tune, it is nevertheless a great album. I must say however, it is imperative to listen to the album multiple times to really grasp Kanye’s vision – a vision that I can’t say I’ve been able to fully comprehend yet. The album opens with “Dark Fantasy,” which serves as an extended album introduction, and features none other than record release date rival, Nicki Minaj as its narrator. The full bodied instrumental kicks in shortly after the one-minute mark, and the grandiose chorus only adds to the melody. While Kanye may have gotten a bit overzealous with the cameo appearances on “All of the Lights,” (the song’s liner notes credit Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Ryan Leslie, Fergie, John Legend, Charlie Wilson, Elton John, Kid Cudi, Elly Johnson and The-Dream with vocal credits), its emphasis on live instruments makes this song a standout number.

    “BUG-OUT BOOGIE” – THE SWAN SONG OF SEGREGATION IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY: DESEGREGATION DURING THE KOREAN WAR AND DISSOLUTION OF THE ALL-BLACK 24th INFANTRY REGIMENT BY C2014 Ben Thomas Post II Submitted to the graduate degree program in History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ___________________________________ Dr. Theodore Wilson, Chairperson ___________________________________ Dr. Adrian Lewis, Committee Member _____________________________ Dr. Jeffrey Moran, Committee Member _____________________________ Dr. Roger Spiller, Committee Member _____________________________ Dr. Barbara Thompson, Committee Member Date defended: August 15, 2014 The Dissertation Committee for Ben Thomas Post II certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: “BUG-OUT BOOGIE” – THE SWAN SONG OF SEGREGATION IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY: DESEGREGATION DURING THE KOREAN WAR AND DISSOLUTION OF THE ALL-BLACK 24th INFANTRY REGIMENT ___________________________________ Dr. Theodore Wilson, Chairperson Date approved: August 15, 2014 ii Abstract In tracing the origins of the movement to desegregate the U.S. Army, most scholars pointed to President Truman’s Executive Order 9981 signed on July 26, 1948. Other scholars highlighted the work done by the “President’s Committee on Equality and Opportunity in the Armed Services,” also known as the Fahy Committee, which was formed as a result of Order 9981. However, when the United States was compelled to take military action following the surprise attack by North Korean forces on June 25, 1950, the U.S. Army units sent into action in Korea were mostly composed of segregated units such as the all-black 24th Infantry Regiment.
