Here we go again with another social experiment
TV One to begin Sunday show aimed at blacks NEW YORK (AP) — Roland Martin will anchor a new Sunday public affairs show aimed at a black audience that will debut in September on the TV One network. The "Washington Watch" program aims to tap into a new interest in politics and government due to the election of President Barack Obama, said Johnathan Rodgers, TV One's president and CEO. It debuts Sept. 27 at 11 a.m. ET, and the show will be repeated each week at 5 p.m. Martin, who is also a CNN commentator, will interview newsmakers and members of the Congressional ...
LA the hard way
When Antonio Villaraigosa ran for Mayor of Los Angeles a few years ago, most of his platform was based on the fact that he would be the first Hispanic Mayor in 133 years. Question his record beyond the historical narrative and suddenly you found yourself framed as one of "those people" who dislike all Hispanics. Well guess what I saw in the store the other day?

Why the rush to make Michael Jackson a “Christian”
On the days following the death of Michael Jackson, I read from two sources so-called accounts from Christians that Michael Jackson was in fact a Christian.

It begins here
Okay, all the hatin' over the BET Awards show is really getting silly. Don't like BET? Then work on changing the culture FIRST. If you can change the culture, you will decrease demand for what you feel misrepresents Black folks. Do it the other way around, and more "BETs" will pop up. Need an example? Some of y'all may remember back in the day when local churches would stage protests in front of local porn shops. Did they manage to get a few of them shut down? Sure did. But how did the porn industry respond to meet demand? They moved ...
Flake fest
I think many of us knew that it would not take long for folks to suddenly act as if they have been ardent Michael Jackson supporters for years. Jackson was hammered repeatedly by critics for allegedly being ashamed of being Black due to all the plastic surgery and the mysterious lightening of his skin. Black folks slammed him on this and White folks were given full and complete license to also question his racial identity and joke about it. Then I remember what Jamie Foxx said the other day at the BET Awards show: "Michael Jackson was a black ...

This is horrible. There should be a grassroots effort to boycott any business selling this DVD.
