Black Americans have been prominent in basketball and boxing since time immemorial. What's noteworthy in the past decade is that they have invaded other sports as well including golf and tennis which used to be dominated by the middle-class whites. And what's praiseworthy, too, is that the Black Americans that have made a name for themselves in the world of tennis are not males but females and sisters. We're talking about none other than the Afro-American Williams sisters - Venus and Serena. Both ladies have proven that race is not a big issue in achieving their dreams in tennis. They are proud of being blacks and they will do anything to fulfill their goals of winning more tennis titles. In their...

But where did this all begin?  The Romans were in Britain from 45AD travelling to Britain bringing with them a wealth of knowledge (acquired and stolen) from the civilisation which flourished along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea; especially places such as Carthage now modern day Tunisia in North Africa.  The...

The kids were questioning why they had to go to school to get the "white man's education." In both cases I never got to give an answer, as they weren't talking to me, though I desperately wanted to. Afterwards I remember thinking that this attitude was probably a growing one among young African Americans. From my own experiences I could see how such nonsense can be attractive, particularly among youngsters mesmerized by street lifestyles and looking for a slick sounding reason to grow up illiterate and parasitical.
