Biden and Bernie have been in the media's main eye lately due to the SC Primary election. These two might just be neck in neck not because they are both OG's in the politic game, but they've been catering to the African American community. Biden took the lead reportedly winning over 60% of the African American voters. Biden has really kicked it up a notch. Even travels with an African American team in which allows him to become relatable. Biden took the cake being named the most popular vote made by African Americans in Nevada. Make no mistake though ! Bernie is right behind him who we know for being one of our favorite American politicians. Sanders is reaching the African American community in a personal way walking the streets with our people. Even has African American supporters going door to door rallying others to side with Bernie. A North Charleston informant explained, "Bernie is the one who is actually going to make a change. He's genuine and we need hi...

The SC Primary is what's big in politics huh ? Welp that may be right because on the 29th they need everyone to get out and vote. Picking between different candidates to put them in seat for the state.  What you don't know is none of these candidates rarely speak about the community. The community that struggles or is losing dreams, what about them ? They rally you up only when they need you for their own support. Making us feel important in the moment but in reality they'll win us over and never look back.  These primary's should be focused on what we can do as a community, how to fix up the community, letting kids know that they are important. Not worried about who to vote for and who's winning who over. Politics really have been fooling people lately making us believe that its important to support them, but they don't support us. Ask yourself ? Who's the candidate walking the streets of our local cities meeting the people.

Kicking the Bulldog Out the Cage Orangeburg, SC – South Carolina State University might be on their way to expansion. As we all know living on campus gives you the full college experience. What if campus was packed to capacity and no more housing was available? It used to be that students with this issue would move into school housing off campus. Which one option would’ve been Campus Corner- an apartment building occupied with half SC State students and the other half Claflin students. The apartment offered its own kitchen and living room area with a bedroom that led to a co-share bathroom. Campus Corner plummeted when it came to local reviews. Whether it be the constant harassment about rent money or the unsafe feeling due to roaming locals. Claflin University decided to rent Campus Corner for a semester moving all their girl students in but sending SC State students packing. When news broke a source who wishes to remain anonymous stated, “It’s because the studen...
