African-American Women at a Higher Risk for Pregnancy and Birth Complications

Premature, delivery is the most frequent cause of infant mortality, accounting for more than one third of all infant deaths during the first year of life. The infant mortality rate among black infants is 2.4 times higher than that of white infants, primarily due to preterm birth. In the United States, the risk of preterm [...]

The Inauguration of Barack Obama

The course of history is about to change whether “THEY” like it or not. To all the skeptics and to all of the folks that didn’t stand behind our new President, well the day has come and there’s nothing you can do to stop it.
Martin Luther King, Jr. saw it 45 years before anyone else [...]

Where were you on November 4th?

Seems so long ago doesn’t it?
Years from now we will ask ourselves this question and we will all brag to our kids and the misfortunate ones that missed this 4th day of November 2008. This is the day in history that will always be remembered.  Barack Obama became the first black president of the United [...]

McCain took cheap shots [...]

Obama…Calm Cool and Collective

This is how we’re describing President Obama (sounds good doesn’t it) here at WGYB (wegotyourblack).
Calm Cool and Collective…
The debate last night just shows that McCain has no chance of winning. Even some Republicans are quoted saying that the game is over, call off the dogs, the fat lady is singing. If you haven’t seen this [...]

Our Man Obama

I love reading these negative articles about Obama. Not because I want to give them credit, but because they are ridiculous. They are obviously written to hurt him, hurt us as a people and to try to take us back about 50-60 years. All I have to say is:
“ya’ll better wake up, cause’ we’re bout [...]
