I have seen a bit of that self-imposed isolationism you speak of deliriousgirl. For example, where I live there are places that "Black folks just don't go." I would be interested to hear your experiences.

Hi Leon! You are so right. This was and still is a great landmark in all of our histories. I'm in the process of writing an article for The Village Voice on The New Racism in the New South. I'd be interested in your take on how that fight, fough...

This is one fantastic piece of writing Mr. Walker. You are brilliant and you call it like you see it. No fluff here. . . just hard truth.

Profile Information

I can best be described as:
professional
About Me:
I am a freelance writer of poems, short stories and lyrics and I also write social and political commentary at www.tntalk.wordpress.com. I have completed one collection of poems and short stories entitled “Work Wonders” which will be availabe soon. I continue work on another autobiographical work which I expect to have completed by years end.

I have lived in Northwest Florida for the past 13 years although I am a native of Cleveland, Ohio. I love the arts in all of its many forms and I am thrilled to have found this community. Locally, I volunteer my time and talent as a member of the Board of Directors of the Northwest Florida Arts Council and the Belmont Arts Center.

I am an avid tennis player and I enjoy watching College Football and College Basketball and Professional Baseball. I have three children who live here as well and with whom, I spend a great deal of wonderful time. My parents and my four siblings (one brother, three sisters) are all thriving and living in various parts of the country. My true friends are very important to me and fairly few (there is nothing more important than family and friends).

I do consider collaborations, and individualized or personalized works may be commissioned. Reach out to me (leonwalker@cox.net) should you require titles, quotes or lyrics etc.

Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner and They’re Bringing the Grandchildren

Lately I have been entertaining myself laughing at the national media and the Clinton Campaign. They are languishing in confusion over why Senator Barack Obama is destined to win the Democratic Party nomination for President of the United States. The analysis continues fail at predictions and the negative political tactics just won’t stick. They are absolutely… Continue

We the Neglected Children of American Politics

“We the neglected children of American politics, in the sincere hope, that we will someday be embraced by this Union”. I made that up following an inexplicable urge to scan some of this nation’s founding documents yesterday. In doing so, I again read the following from our Declaration of Independence, the document that is the cornerstone of American freedom. “We h… Continue

The Clintons: “Sixty Is the New Seventy”

The Clintons: “Sixty Is the New Seventy”

Former President Clinton’s recent remark about his wife being sixty and suggesting that those of that age can be expected to sometimes forget things leaves me in uncomfortable hysterics. I am only laughing about this most recent Clinton gaff because the content and context of the comments are really of no consequence. The reason I am somewhat uncomfortable is because t… Continue

“The Clinton Campaign Is another Clinton White House”

Senator Hillary Clinton’s Presidential Campaign has descended beyond embarrassment into a historic abomination. Interestingly, a look back at the White House under the first Clinton Administration provides the best vision of the ineptitude, impropriety and immorality that are the Clinton trademarks as campaigning continues.

No doubt those that continue to… Continue

Hillary Clinton: Lies Have Short Legs

Senator Hillary Clinton’s repeated telling of a shocking fabricated and later recanted story of her arrival in a Bosnian combat zone “under sniper fire” is absolutely ghastly. This horrific fabrication is not only a very telling indictment of her credibility and integrity; it reveals a clear vision of a ruthless woman lost in self consumption.

I have no apprehension for ha… Continue
