NPR commentator Frank James has chosen to excuse the the ACORN personnel who are willing to help an assumed pimp and prostitute to set up a brothel, import under-age Central American children to become sex slaves, avoid taxes and scam the banks. He attributes this to the culture of the black underclass. It's also important to keep in mind that ACORN's workers are coming from the same low-income neighborhoods the organization serves, with all that entails -- poor schools, high crime and the sorts of social problems that have been documented for decades. NPR has been accused of racism by...

Black woman having regrets that she pulled the lever for Obama..."Can I vote for the white dude again? I just wanted my bills paid...not hard work and new jobs." LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9SPdh4Nzy4

The tags, boldly appearing on each piece, told the Moores in no uncertain terms that the color of their comfy new set was actually “(Common rap song subject)-brown.” Enough to shock even the staunchest bigot where they stand…but that wasn’t the worst part – it was their 7 year old daughter who discovered the flagrantly fiendish flub. Curiously poking around just after the delivery men left, little Olivia asked mommy what the word meant. Ms. Moore then got on the phone and began a journey find who was responsible for the insulting label.

For decades, an anti-snitching mentality has hampered law enforcement in Coatesville, but the code of silence may not be fireproof. The string of arsons plaguing the once-thriving steel town in Chester County - 44 fires set in the last 13 months - may be prompting some people to think twice about their reluctance to cooperate with authorities. [snip] Some residents, who declined to identify themselves, said not even the $20,000 in reward money from the Coatesville Arson Task Force would motivate them to cooperate with police. One older woman said that she believed her grandson had information, but proudly added...

Sixty percent of the American children in foster care are black. Let me repeat that. In the United States, of all the children in foster care, 60 percent are black. African-Americans are 60 percent of the foster children and 12 percent of the general population. That’s a 500-percent over representation. In ballpark terms, that means a black child is five times more likely to end up in foster care than the average American child. When you take black children out of the national average, blacks are in the neighborhood of 11 times more likely to be foster children than non-blacks....

Dear brothers (do you mind if I call you brothers?), Have you heard about the movement to ticket and fine people - meaning, people like you - for wearing sagging, underwear-revealing pants? It started in a small Louisiana town, where you can now get up to six months in jail and a $500 fine for exposing your undergarments. Proposals have since popped up from Atlanta to Baltimore to Trenton, and last week even in Yonkers. It's only a matter of time before some enterprising City Council member puts it on the table here in New York. And in every city,...

All the breathless debates about Michael Vick are missing the point. The bigger issue has nothing to do with whether or not he deserves the right of due process, or whether NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell should suspend him, or whether Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank should enable him or give him tough love. It's not even about whether ... Nike should be launching another designer shoe with his name on it. All of those are minor distractions from ...: How did someone like Michael Vick ever come to exist? Are we really ready to have that conversation? Do we dare...

'Black Culture' Blamed for Hurricane Katrina Woes By Alison Espach CNSNews.com Correspondent July 13, 2006 (CNSNews.com) - Nearly a year after Hurricane Katrina flooded the city of New Orleans, some prominent black conservatives and religious leaders blame cultural problems among African Americans, not the government, for "the great breakdown witnessed during and following" the natural disaster.

Liberals Selling Out Constituents By Mychal Massie A fundamental, primal screed of race-mongers, especially those in the Congressional Black Caucus, NAACP and the National Urban League, is that blacks are disproportionately incarcerated – the fact that many of same are disproportionately guilty of criminal acts that carry mandatory sentences notwithstanding. We have heard time and again how unfair the judicial system is to blacks. But now, in the face of incontrovertible disregard for rule of law – a disregard that will adversely affect blacks – those who would be leaders are silent. Who are these villains receiving a free...

A black-oriented cable channel, BET, plans to air a new unscripted show celebrating Kimberly Jones -- aka Lil' Kim -- for her crimes. Promotional ads for the show, "Countdown to Lockdown," declare that Jones entered prison with her "mouth shut, head held high, as she refuses to snitch." Jones, a rap star, recently began serving a year and a day for lying to a grand jury investigating a 2001 shootout between her entourage and a rival rap crew. BET is playing her lawlessness for all the money it can make. One executive, Reginald Hudlin, declared that "Countdown" -- six episodes...

CHICAGO, Dec. 26 (UPI) -- The largest annual Kwanzaa celebration of African-American culture in the United States began Monday at Malcolm X College in Chicago. Ayoka Samuels, a consultant for the college's Kwanzaa committee said a major misconception is that about the seven-day festival is that it's meant to be "the black Christmas," the Chicago Sun-Times said. Samuels said many who celebrate it do substitute it for Christmas, and if gifts are exchanged, they must be either educational or a symbol of African heritage. Maulana Ron Karenga, now a professor of black studies at California State University, Long Beach, created...

Last month, when Rosa Parks was laid to rest in Detroit, her eulogy contained well-deserved praise for her brave defiance of segregation laws that led to the 1955 Montgomery, Ala., bus boycott and later the 1956 Supreme Court ruling that banned public transportation segregation. The passing and remembrance of her generation of blacks, who made sacrifices to deliver today's opportunities, might also be an occasion for condemnation of what's no less than a gross betrayal of that generation's struggle. Having lived just about one-third of our nation's existence, I know, as well as experienced, the uglier parts of our history....

NWA (Ni**ers With Attitude) which featured the likes of Ice Cube, Eazy E and Dr. Dre gained fame and riches in the 1990’s by exploiting the very worst of the Black experience. Today, the new NWA (Naders With Agendas) are following in their footsteps by claiming the affinity with blacks and exploiting our culture to forward their own personal agenda. Why call them Naders? Rather than use the N-word, I figure they should be named after their ring leader, Ralph Nader who actually admits to feeling like a Ni**er! Read More...

CBS 3’s Stephanie Abrams reports that another woman, a California attorney is coming forward to say she was sexually assaulted by the Philadelphia legend.

At last, women lash out at hip hop's abuses The most successful black women's magazine, Essence, is in the middle of a campaign that could have monumental cultural significance. Essence is taking on the slut images and verbal abuse projected onto black women by hip hop lyrics and videos. The magazine is the first powerful presence in the black media with the courage to examine the cultural pollution that is too often excused because of the wealth it brings to knuckleheads and amoral executives. This anything-goes-if-sells attitude comes at a cost. The elevation of pimps and pimp attitudes creates a...

Each week, I receive several correspondences from black people calling me an Uncle Tom, a race traitor and that sort of thing. The most recent epithets came as a result of my column asking Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Warren Sapp to shut his mouth, stop acting like a child and get back to playing the exemplary football that made him a repeat Pro Bowler. Weeks later, I am still being accused of dissing not only Sapp but African-American culture itself. So, the question is: Exactly what is African-American, or black, culture? According to my critics, the likes of Sapp...

Najima and Nayaba Bawa were despondent when their parents first raised the subject of sending them home to Ghana. It was three years ago, one evening as their mother was braiding Nayaba's hair. Najima, then in junior high, had lost focus in school. Hanging out with friends had become more important than studying. She had even brought home a few C's on her report card. They had reached a decision, the girls' parents calmly informed them. They were sending them to the Akosombo International School, a boarding school in the eastern Ghananian town of Akosombo, about 80 kilometers, or 50...
