Prostate Cancer and African American Black Men
If you are an African American black man, it's time to get rid of the last vestige of self denial and disassociating yourself from prostate cancer. There's now every clear evidence and proof that prostate type of cancer affects MORE African American black men than any other people. This article provides more reasons why you should start taking the condition more seriously, because nothing says it won't happen to you or your loved ones. While this doesn't mean that others don't get the condition, it's mostly prevalent among the African Black American, with Asians having the lowest number of victims. This shows that if you are an African American, you should be concerned about the condition. It's time...
How Color Influences Our Lives
The influence of color began very early in our lives when our parents decorated our rooms in pink for feminine or, blue for masculine. Every day we describe our emotions and impressions with metaphors: "I feel blue," "She's green with envy," "He was red in the face with anger." When we consult with experts how to choose the right shades for decorating our homes and offices, coloring our hair and makeup applications, we stress the sophistication and importance it has in our lives personally. Psychologists have proven many colors have special meanings of their own. While matching moods with colors, people have associated black with depression and sadness, blue for security, peacefulness and serenity...
Dreams From My Father - A Story of Race and Inheritance by Barack Obama
A picture of America's first coloured President makes for the cover of Dreams of My Father. Look closer and there's a tag that says, "His remarkable story in his own words".

Your wardrobe is boring probably because of one reason; you are lacking the ultimate fashion cure, the black pants. Pants will remain just pants or transform into something else if you so wish, but there is so little you can do about the beauty of the black pants. They simply are in their own class fashion-wise and have endured the test of time and diversified taste to stand tall as the perfect choice for many, whether men or women. You picked that pair of men's black pants off the shelf probably because you loved the color, or simply because they looked good on you and you were not bothered about the color, yet one thing still stands, black fitting pants are the bomb. There are a number of reasons...

Declaration Of Independence
Introduction Thomas Jefferson was one of the principle authors of the Declaration of independence. This occurred at appoint in history when the thirteen States that would later became the United States of America were still considered British Colonies.

Zimbabwe Explained! How Did We Get To Where We Are Today!
In the early 1890s there were a lot of explorers, hunters and fortune hunter who left their homelands in Britain, France, and Germany in search of a brighter future for themselves and their families. These groups landed in South Africa and decided to move north. One such group called the British South Africa Company crossed the Limpopo River and found a land rich in minerals, wildlife and open lands ideal for agriculture. They set up camp and using rifles and other weapons fought against the indigenous people they found there. They wanted the land for themselves! They set about giving each other pieces of land and decided to farm there using the local people as cheap labour. They were led by a man...
Is Racism A Choice Or Are We Born With It?
The other morning my daughter and I were driving her to school. In the midst of sipping my coffee and enjoying the abundant sunshine. She blurted out, "I don't like black people." Needless to say I was taken aback. I asked my little 6 year old, "Why is it that you don't like black people?" She says, "Because their lips are brown." I asked, "Because their lips are brown?" She answered, "Yeah, I like pink lips." I said, "Oh, well you realize that the color of their lips are just that, a color." She said, "Yeah." I said, "The color of their lips have nothing to do with who they are. Its simply the color of their lips." She said, "Yeah." I pressed, "Well, you do like Brittney and Aldora, right...

From Gangsta's Paradise to People Paradise
Having given much thought to the situation in inner city, based on both what is known in the media and much of what I gathered from the experience of good friends who have lived there, I would like to make some suggestions. While I do not see this as panacea, I believe it has the possibility of achieving positive impact for many. And it is as follows: increasing interest among black people in business and technical fields; setting up recruitment offices to direct young men who would otherwise join gangs into military service; doing away with the anti-educational youth culture; providing better guidance for the youth. I will go through these one by one. Business and Technical Fields One part of the...

White Writer Predicts Obama Victory
67, America was filled with the same hope of change that it is now feeling in 2008. Forty-one years ago, Cleveland was on the verge of electing the first African American mayor of a major U.S. city. Stokes was a living testament of what African Americans in politics could achieve after the victories of the Civil Rights Movement, and his imminent victory was proof that America could come together despite racial and political differences. Two years earlier, Stokes had almost won in a city that was 70 percent White and 30 percent Black. “In 1965 he had come so close to winning that there was a recount,” McGee said. “His victory in ’67 was hailed as one of the greatest moments...
Why George Bush May Be the Last Republican President Ever
George W. Bush has been an absolute failure as President. He will likely go down in history as among the very worst (if not the very worst) Presidents of all time. Partly because of his massive failure, he may very well be the last Republican President unless they drastically redefine their party to get in touch with the shifting demographics of the United States of America. Barack Obama handily defeated John McCain on November 4th bringing a new era to US politics. No longer will America be considered to be the "slow" child throwing a tantrum on the international scene. And no longer will the divisive politics of Karl Rove be enough to capture Presidential elections. It wasn't just McCain who got...
Election Day 2008 - A Time For Diversity
Since I am an advocate for diversity and equality everywhere, the USA presidential election had huge implications for our country and the rest of the world. I love this country today. Today, the United States has a different energy. People are energized. There is hope in the air. The hope is for a healing, a unity to develop in this country that hasn't existed up until this point. President-elect Obama didn't get voted into office solely by the black vote in this country. It took many Whites, Latinos and others to cast enough of the popular vote to influence the electoral vote. And it was that working together for the common good that caused this historic day to occur. Obama is right when he says he...
Wake Up Black Men
Richard Johnson and Dee Spiller had everything. They were star defensive backs for Eisenhower High School in Houston and on their way to play collegiate football at Baylor University. They led their high school team to the Texas State 5A semifinals in 1993, and seemed headed for greatness. Unfortunately, they made the same mistake that many young Black males make, tempted by the allure of street life and eventually graduating to a life of crime. Johnson and Spiller, along with two teammates, committed several kick door robberies in the Houston area which eventually led to their arrest at Eisenhower High School on a warm spring day in 1994. The two lost their full scholarships to Baylor and...
When Everything Changes Overnight
uld you do if today after all the hard work on your job and contribution to the companies bottom-line your services were no longer needed? Your only source of income stopped dead in its tracks. Would everything be ok for you and your family? Would life go uninterrupted or maybe even get better? Or would time almost seem to stand still for a moment before it started to come crashing in? Well sadly, this week Ford Motor Company rewarded hard working Americans with pink slips due the company's new campaign called, "The Way Forward." Can you believe it? The way forward for Ford is to sacrifice the lives of the very people that helped to build the company. "We will be making painful sacrifices to protect...
Of Course the Tea Party Prospers Because of Racism (When We Cannot See Our Own Beliefs)
Over Christmas time, I went to a Goodwill store in South Carolina. While I was in the store, I lost my cell phone. There was a lady who worked near the dressing room section that seemed a little suspicious to me. First of all, she didn't seem very friendly. Secondly, she was a larger black female who seemed to have an attitude very similar to students I had when I was teaching at the high school level. And there it is, I automatically jumped to conclusions based on racial and cultural stereotypes. It is not "correct" to be a racist anymore. Really, according to what people say about themselves, no one is really "racist". I experienced this in the South. There were people who were so adamant and even...
Florence and the Machine - Vocalist Extraordinaire
It is interesting how one picks up on things at a certain time when you need to hear them. This song has been released previously by at least one artist and although undoubtedly highly meritorious as a song, it failed to leave the same mark on me. For one it is great to hear a white woman belting out within her range as opposed to the tired strain of interchangeable black female artists going through the not so fresh motions. I think that it is Florence's voice, the timbre, the switch from falsetto to full, that make this vocal so interesting. Although it is unattainable for most people to hold such commanding vocal ability, it is a voice that can be related more readily. Much more so than say, the...
Greyhound Ownership
What is Greyhound ownership all about? Greyhounds are a breed unto themselves. I have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. All have had personalities of their own and all have been wonderful companions in different ways. I had never even considered a Greyhound as a pet. I had seen them as a child racing at the local track when I had been taken there by my parents, but that was the only time I had really noticed them. At this moment in time I have two greyhounds in my life, Jeremy a large white/black male and Millie a smaller white/black female. Greyhounds do have a wonderful temperament, they are affectionate, docile and very gentle. Which would seem to be the opposite to most peoples...
The hegemonic categorization of the Jamaican landscape is primarily the justifiable reason for the sophisticated demonstrations and social hemorrhaging. Many of those happenings are caused from the lack of monologue of the business constituents. This group of elitists has exponentially benefited from playing the proletariat class. They have not offered their clientele the respect of voice on matters of social concerns or political mismanagement. The present governments socio-economic policies are chiefly responsible for the erosion of much of the social fibre and economic livelihood of the Jamaican people. The poor are not only suffering but they are also hemorrhaging while the business class...
American Politicians Winning Hearts and Minds while Losing Souls
It is no secret that one of the most powerful tools in public speaking is humor. No matter how glum the subject matter if the speaker can get the audience laughing at some anecdotal story, joke or wisecrack the crowd relaxes and the rest is a piece of cake. Hillary Clinton is a seasoned speaker who craftily used the humor factor on the Jay Leno Show Thursday evening April 3, 2008. As Hillary took the stage on the Leno show which was taped in Burbank California Kevin Eubanks cranked his band up to play the theme from the famed "Rocky" movies. Touting her as the underdog who can still shape up to knock em all dead it started the segment off on a light note. Hillary raised the level of hilarity by...
What Is The Real Legacy of Martin Luther King?
I have been hearing news coverage of the recent discussion in social and political circles about the real legacy of Martin Luther King. This began even before the MLK holiday. It seemed to be tied in part to the presidential elections as part of the awareness that Barak Obama was actually doing well in the primaries. Whatever the reason for these many allusions to Martin Luther King's importance to America or effects on American Civil Rights, I heard the discussions sadly lacking the elemental importance of MLK's work. Martin Luther King was absolutely feared by many whites as a trouble maker. I am white and I can tell you at the time many Americans did not know about or understand the Civil...
Keeping the Conversation Going
One of the greatest advantages of dating online is that we've already had the chance to chat before we've met face-to-face. We already have an idea what interests this person and maybe what they've done with their lives. However online dating can also have the affect of giving a false impression of someone we have just met online, as often times a real life date turns out to be much different than first perceived online. Appearing shy on a first date is one of the hurdles we need to overcome to have first date success. Chatting online gives us a huge advantage for you to be able to prepare your offline conversation by taking notes based on your online chats. It's hard enough getting to know someone...
A Brief History of John Lennon
As most of us associate John Lennon with The Beatles, very few recognize Lennon's solo career and additional accomplishments. This witty man, known for his rebellious nature and gentle spirit made a name, not only as a member of a band, but also as an activist, songwriter, peace activist and author. Even out of the spotlight, Lennon created a family/home life and took time to be a human of average nature. John Winston Ono Lennon was born on October 9, 1940 in Liverpool. Lennon only lived with his parents for a short amount of time, then spent the rest of his younger years living with his aunt and uncle in Woolton. Lennon formed The Beatles in 1957, at the young age of sixteen. The band...
-- End Ad Box ---> America has become a confusing place for many people who are trying to decipher through the mess of politics that is inherent in a huge country that touts democracy. The Critical Review’s (No. 1 Vol. 19) article Ignorance as a Starting Point: From Modest Epistemology to Realistic Political Theory states that a new elitist political paternalism may be necessary to counter the general ignorance of the population. In other words, brighter minds need to make decisions for people. The concept of political elite makes some sense but in reality this is already the case. We have in the U.S. a pseudo-democracy in the sense that all of the candidates are known but few, except the...
Obama vs Bill - The Common Ground
Tonight, Obama routed the Billary Machine (preferable to the 'HillBilly Machine' favored by my fellow progressive blogosphere) in the S.C. Primary across all racial lines; gender lines; religious lines; age lines; economic lines, and the Mason-Dixon Line. Slick Willie shot back that Jesse Jackson twice won the S.C. Primary. I agree with Bill but Al Sharpton has never won the S.C. Primary. Thus, we could hypothesize that Obama transcends the 'Black Candidate' label. I have received 'feedbacks' from colleagues (Black and White) that it's shallow if not shortsighted for my wager on Obama over Billary. They reminded me of the 'civil rights' legacy of Billary - "Isn't Bill the first Black President...
How Many Want "That One" to Fail in the 2008 US Transition?
The world welcomed the inauguration of the first non-white leader of a western industrialized country and cheered on the day he moved into the White House with his family. That very day he began implementing the radically new approach to a crisis-crippled country that had catapulted racial bias to stake everything in the newcomer's ability to bring about the drastic change required to repair the damage of an eight-year retrogressive policy during a time the world grew global. The scale of the economic, financial and social crises needing emergency address left a fundamental question unanswered. How many in the country perceived the new leader through the same perspective as the conservative...
Punk Clothing Styles of Past and Present
Every young generation throughout history tries to establish new culture by bringing great changes in music, culture and customs. They bring changes through music and accessories and try to reject the status quo of established culture. Rock n roll created similar rebellion after World War 2. Rock culture brought rock clothing to the streets and changed the entire generation. Heavy metal followed after rock n roll, as it brought the emphasis of music with great variations involving guitars and drums as central role. Heavy metal followers brought change in the societies with their punk shirts. These music groups supported the anti-establishment roots and formed the foundation of rock clothing. Punk...
Plastic Surgery For African Americans
At one time, the scope and outcome of many cosmetic surgery procedures was limited by a lack of resources and a misunderstanding of the wide variety of aesthetic preferences that exists. Plastic surgery was often reserved for the few elite who usually preferred upturned button noses and large breasts. Today cosmetic surgery is more affordable and available to a wider variety of people from different ethnic backgrounds than ever before. Because cosmetic surgery has evolved so much in the past decades, more people than ever are embracing the opportunity to enhance their unique individual beauty, including the African American community. And in order to meet these individual needs, there are many...
African American Scholarships For Moms in 2010
In many cases, African American women are not fully educated in everything they need to know when they go to school. Minorities often do not have as many opportunities in society, so many minorities don't do well in school. Fortunately, the Obama administration has recognized the plight of many young African Americans. The government recently signed a bill to open the doors up for many new African American scholarships for moms in 2010. Minority women have a wide variety of options available to them. They have the privilege of applying for college grant money for women and minorities. With the Obama administration in charge, they are getting opportunities unlike anything that has ever been seen in...
5 Top Warning Signs of Diabetes in Women
Diabetes is a dangerous and complicated health related risk for all regardless of age and gender. Unfortunately women carry a special risk of a third type of diabetes termed gestational diabetes. For many ethnic groups that includes African American, Asian American, Pacific Islander and Hispanic women the risk of this type of diabetes is even much greater. Statistical data has revealed that women of ethic groups have twice as much risk of suffering from diabetes as of Caucasian woman. African American women are at 70 % increased risk of suffering from this type of diabetes also termed gestational diabetes. These statistics are no doubt alarming. However there are some other early signs of diabetes...
Scholarships to Help Out African American Mothers
Did you know that out of all the African American mothers that there are in the country, only thirty percent of them are actually still living with their husbands or are married. The number of single mothers has risen drastically and so has the need of these mothers to look for ways to support their child or children and give them a better life. Even though these women might wish to get themselves a college degree that will help them in their careers and to get them a better job, being a single mother always gets in the way. There is always going to be the problem of arranging for daycare as well as the financial strains that are associated with this kind of expenditure; so even education at this...

Some African Americans collect memorabilia that has to do with the life, punishment, flight and emancipation of their ancestors. These collectors love to receive replicas of posters, documents and segregation signs. Some collect such things as chains and shackles that can be purchased at auction sales and are a part of history that is slowly...

Modern African American Art and Artists
Like many artists who use cultural and ethnic heritage as an inspiration for their art, modern African American art often has strong roots in Africa. For many African American artists, the Southern region of the U.S. also represents a huge emphasis on the composition and subject of their work. There is a growing awareness of this unique form of expression and of the artists who create the works. For many years African American art has been tagged as crafts and seriously under appreciated. Fortunately that trend is changing and people from all ethnic backgrounds and lifestyles have more opportunities to view and learn from modern African American art. In order to more fully appreciate these...

Dayton Ohio Economic Studying Digging for Reality
Working in a market such as Dayton, OH requires business savvy and complete understanding of demographics. For instants the difference between Ohio on the whole and the Greater Dayton Area MSA, which includes such county areas as: Butler, Clark, Darke, Greene, Miami, Montgomery, Preble and Warren. The demographics of Montgomery and Miami are excellent for an expanding company to put in a service type outlet. The population backdrop is somewhat similar to the entire state of OH.

Mother? Wife? Tiger Woods
Last night the couple were holed up in their current home on the gated Florida estate where Woods was injured last Friday after crashing his car, after his wife had allegedly gone for him with a golf club after magazine claims about his adultery. Significantly, the one other person to whom he has chosen to confide all the details of his current travails is his mother Tida who is said by friends to have been constantly on the phone to her only son from her home 2,500 miles away in California. Which is an added source of discontent to Elin, sources close to the family told me, because a bitter rift has emerged between the two women which, in part at least, has been responsible for bringing the...
The Power of Instant Democracy
A famously controversial American TV personality recently discovered the hard way that more power now rests in the hands of average people than at any other time in history.
