We are a collective of African American women who express spiritual, political, social and economic viewpoints that challenge, critique and inspire and represent the rich diversity of ideas within the spectrum of people of color locally and worldwide.
Finally in this decade of change—this year of new beginnings, this amazing time of walls and barriers coming down, our time has come.
Finally the African-American woman has a public voice of her own. The Point TV Show is one of the first television news show composed of women of color dealing not with song, dance or comedy, but with news and views that matter. Unlike superlative shows, such as the Oprah Show and The View, our program's regular panelists, commentators, camerapersons, producers are all people of color and primarily women. African American women are a group of 19 million people, seven percent of the U.S. population. We make up 60 percent of the total black vote and are the Democrats most loyal voting bloc. We know that African American buying power in the United States is 700 billion annually. And yes, African American women control a lot of that spending power. Women of color are gaining in political, economic and of course spiritual power daily, but you would not know that from our twisted, perverted images transmitted through the media. When Don Imus insulted the black women on the Rutgers basketball team, men came to our defense and white women held news conferences to voice their outrage. But black women had no platform to voice our feelings. Others talked about us, some talked for us, but we had no place to talk about ourselves. We were voiceless and invisible. Now our time has come.
The Rev. Dr. Barbara A. Reynolds is the Executive Producer/Host with a panel of incredibly interesting and bright African-American women; namely, Traycee Gales, Mertine Moore, Ella Coleman, and Eunita Winkey. For more information visit www.thepointtv.com

  • My mother and father were together for 22yrs. he left my mother and my mother made her son the head of the household not all women know how to do this and for sure many have done what my mother has done. Many of our sons don't listen to us and for reasons being: we are women. No mother that I know has ever pushed her son to be a drug dealer. It was an outside influence that lead this boy to be a criminal.

  • contin..It is time for our men to stop hiding behind their women and do whats right and there are too few who have stepped up to the plate.

  • @iamtheemighty1 i dont get why white people hate each other so much either

  • @ilindah thank you

  • the 'man' being the head of the household is the root of all the drama in society... family should be headed by the man and the women as a 'partnership'...not a dictatorship...most mothers have given their power over to this concept and if the man leaves for some reason, that pressure is put on the son?? total bullshit...even a male kid leads over his mother??

  • @mddarch. most black people are white supremacist not just biracials. just look at how most of our people are acting. there is no way blacks are acting out in por-black manners. some r but they gotta fight black white supremacist who dont even know they are white supremacist.

  • @mddarch i am bitch

  • @mddarch us biracial females are the BUSINESS. Your just mad because were half white

  • This lady is an ignoramus. She brags about the monolithic nature of the black vote, even though that is the reason black public opinion is irrelevant in politics.

    Idiot.
