I was reading on the news today about historically black colleges and the fact that they are not putting out enough black graduates. They are giving these students six years to finish a degree and out of 83 four year HBCU's, only 37% of blacks are earning their degree...hmm... what you all are doing out there I don't know. Now, a lot of you know how big The Savvy Columnist is on education! I'm a straight up and down proud member of The Egghead Regime! What I don't get it, is why waste all that m… Continue

Why do people everyday get up and instead of getting down on your knees and talking to Jesus, you go call Day Day and them? When you g… Continue

Greetings from The Savvy Columnist!

Today's column is going to be about people who work in the social services, child support, social security, any type of field where you are required to help people! For many years I have observed these fields, even from a bird's eye view, since I've been a recipient of some of the benefits, and I amazed at the types of people I find working there. I'm not going to lie, some of them are downright nasty and bitter human beings and I'm like, "did you get this jo… Continue
