What I See - May08 by D2Nott
Wait! What? Who’s that? Why should I care what he has to say?
The opportunity to let the world know what is on my mind has brought me to this very day to put the pen to the pad and speak as if we were face to face. It's kind of hard to start a fire and try to hide it. Not realizing what an opportunity I’ve had, but doing well and improving by the strokes of the keyboard. The camera’s not on me, so what the hell. Guess it is just another part of maturing; moving forward.
For those that have read in the past, for those that are new to the column, and for all that take the time to read this column regularly, thank you. But hang on; I am going to try to shift directions. I have been hiding some of what I really feel in between the spaces and punctuation; being careful about what I say, but not getting so far out there that I expose the emotionally jarring parts of What I See.
There are more want-to-be rappers than there are Black college graduates.
The most important election probably in my lifetime is taking place next month and all eyes are on Barrack Obama. From the debates to press conferences the people are hanging on his every word and his promise of change with a "Yes We Can" attitude. The stereo types of the limitation of skin color over substances have to be reexamined. The rise of Barack is no accident, more of a coronation of the long journey of hope, ambition and hard work. There are many who did not live to see this day, and were not sure if it would ever come, but against the backdrop of not knowing when, they still gave their lives in the struggle so that the day could be possible.

Angelo Books His Spot in Worlds
by Devon Jeffreys
In the most closely contested race of this year's U.S. Outdoor Track and Field Championships, Angelo Taylor secured his spot on the U.S. team for this summer's World Championships.
A photo finish Sunday afternoon at the U.S. Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon saw Angelo, Bershawn Jackson and Jeshua Anderson cross the finish line almost simultaneously at the end of a tight 400-meters of hurdling.
After the finishes were sorted out, AT took third in a time of 47.94, just a hundredth of a second behind Anderson in first and Jackson in second. All three men qualified for the U.S. National team and the trio will head to the World Championships in Daegu, South Korea in August looking to sweep the medal stand.
"I'm just blessed to make another team. It's definitely a blessing," Angelo told Flotrack after the race. "It's been a trying week. My hamstring cramped up on me Tuesday before coming out here. It's been really tight, we've just been giving it a lot of therapy, trying to get that thing loosened up."
