*The film “42” dramatizes the brutal racist harassment that Jackie Robinson endured as the first black player in Major League Baseball. Robinson triumphed over the hate hurled at him by white spectators, sports writers, opposing players and teammates by concentrating on his game and resisting the natural inclination to retaliate. He suppressed his temper and [...]
*45 years ago this week – on April 4, 1968 — the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was murdered as he stood on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, TN. Dr. King lived under the constant threat of death throughout the difficult years of the Civil Rights struggle, and long before he [...]
*It is fitting that President Obama’s second inauguration will take place on Martin Luther King Day. Even more than his revolutionary White House win in 2008, Obama’s re-election represents the fulfillment of the Dr. King’s dream of a racially just nation. The rage of a prominent racist pundit proves that. The day after President Obama [...]
*The evil that men do can leave us with sorrow and anger too deep to measure. But LOVE is our comfort, our hope, our perseverance and our defense against evil. “Turner’s Two Cents” columnist Cameron Turner speaks passionately about that in his new video feature, “Monday Morning Motivation.” Watch: Subscribe to Cameron’s YouTube channel at [...]
*The most contentious moment in this week’s Presidential debate came when President Obama and Gov. Romney sparred over Romney’s 2008 plan to let the auto industry go bankrupt. Mr. Obama challenged Mr. Romney for rejecting the idea of federal aid to automakers. Mr. Romney argued that car companies could apply for government guarantees after going [...]
*The brouhaha over Olympic gold medalist Gabrielle Douglas’ hair qualifies neither a case study in African-American self-loathing (based on some black folks’ embrace of white standards which scorn our naturally kinky hair) nor simple hateration (the spiteful tearing down of high achievers by less accomplished, usually envious individuals). The controversy (which was never as huge [...]
*The following is a letter which I sent to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s campaign office. – Cameron Turner July 30, 2012 Dear Gov. Romney, As a black American, I am deeply and personally insulted by the manner and substance of your recent efforts to win over African-American voters. Your patronizing NAACP speech (which ignored [...]
*It seems that every day Herman Cain finds someone else to blame for the sexual harassment scandal that he brought upon himself through his inept and less-than-honest handling of the media. Cain blamed liberals, Rick Perry, racism and now…businessman-ism???” Watch the video as Cameron Turner gives his “Two Cents” on the matter … See Cameron’s [...]
*His clumsy handling of the unfolding sexual harassment scandal proves that Herman Cain does not have the intelligent judgment necessary to be President of the United States. If Herman Cain was a bit smarter and little less arrogant he would’ve anticipated this crisis and prepared for it. He’s always known about the sexual harassment complaints [...]
“The problem of racism, the problem of economic exploitation, and the problem of war are all tied together. These are the triple evils that are interrelated.” – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. *As our nation prepares for this weekend’s rescheduled dedication of the Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial in Washington, DC let us take a [...]
*After establishing a strong presence on the Internet and on digital cable, EURweb’s Cameron Turner will debut today, Saturday, October 8 on the groundbreaking news/talk show “The Filter with Fred Roggin.” It will air on KNBC Channel 4 at 5:30 PM Pacific. Cam taped his segment Thursday night and engaged in a spirited debate with [...]
*Unlike Amnesty International and some of the other groups and individuals protesting the death sentence affirmed Troy Davis case, I am not philosophically opposed to capital punishment. I believe that some crimes are so vicious and so vast in their impact that death is the appropriate penalty. However, this ultimate sentence should only be imposed [...]
*I understand why the Parents Television Council is outraged by Rihanna’s “Man Down” video — the image of the pop princess shooting a guy in the back of the head is disturbing — but I’m troubled by the PTC’s lack of anger over the onscreen rape that triggers the video’s retaliatory crime. The “Man Down” [...]
*State employees in Wisconsin and Ohio have been heroic and inspiring with their courageous mass protests against anti-union state budget bills. But while I back the protests completely, and I think President Obama’s anemic support is embarrassing and politically short-sighted, I also find myself troubled by a nagging question. Did any of the state workers [...]
