Well, here we go and shoot the messenger. It could be true that the dissertations did not have merit, what then?

just read a post about how sexual violence is under reported in the black community because some people fear that would give ammo to racists.

Re: Condi Rice as VP Offers Mitt Romney Both Rewards and Risks

PoliticalSeason — Wed, 02 May 2012 12:13:36 -0000

I seriously doubt Dr. Rice would seriously consider doing such a thing. At this point, government service is really pretty much a "been there, done that" deal for her. Why on earth would she want to sign on for another round, particularly in the role of VP? Be a coup if Romney could get her, but I can't think of one thing he can offer her that would make her think that was a good idea.

Re: Survey: Majority of Black TV viewers dissatisfied with programming options

I really don't believe this survey. First of all, it did not give choices for things like comedy and drama, which are the main things that people watch. I know very few Black folks who prefer documentaries and arts shows.

Re: Interracial Dating

That's the danger, "I'll never go back" or " I only date...", mentality. It is a sick soul that assumes the other race is better than you or your race. Black people have been so damaged that to hear a statement like that makes you want to cry.

Re: Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia: $1.3 Million Collection Readies For Grand Opening

Bahati Sobukwe — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 07:57:10 -0000

I should have concluded my first post by offering an example of the of the Trayson Martin killing. The killing of Trayson was the racist perception of blacks's humanity. It happens on jobs, social contacts, and in all disenfranchisement of black people. Racist signs and images were used to teach whites, blacks and others the worthlessness of Africans.

It will be a chilling revelation to many who do not seem to understand the effect of racist memorabilia on black life or the perception of others about blacks. Of late it is obvious that many blacks do not understand what negative behaviors solidify peoples perception of black people. Maybe after viewing this collection they will understand the cost.

Let's not be drawn away from what's important for the future of blacks. Certain issues should be the concern of those who bring them forth, since most rarely have any benefit to other's.

Re: Interracial Dating

Marcus Smith — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 02:43:28 -0000

I hate statements like "I'll never go back" or "I only date...." You
just can't take these people seriously. Why? Because it assumes that
one race imbues a full set of qualities that another doesn't. I've
dated interracially before and who knows if I'll do it again, but I know
one thing. I won't make a big deal of it. It's all about finding the
right person for you, and last time I checked race and a certain
personality showed no correlation.

Re: The Riddle of Blacks and Obama

bbtatt — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 12:19:33 -0000

I agree with your assessment of Obama however like the other commenter has stated who should black people vote for Romney? The fact is for all of Obama and the Democrats problems the Republicans give you NO reason to vote for them!

Re: The Riddle of Blacks and Obama

Bahati Sobukwe — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 11:08:29 -0000

What riddle? The riddle is you. Who do you want them to vote for mr. black republican? Romney? I am assuming that you are black on the outside. Africa's has challenged the policies and rules of the IMF and the World Bank for decades and their policies to keep Africa poor and needy. Blacks would have been better served if you had explained the World Bank's and the IMF's policies that keep Africa destitute and always in famine orchestrated by those polices. While they suck out all of the profits from Africa. It is not only the person who is put in charge it is the whole core of these institutions.

I do not like thinly veiled crabs complaining about President Obama or whites who are doing everything they can to discredit the President. Get a "black" think tank and go to him with solutions instead of your whining! Especially, since you whiners and crabs just want "a" white man to be in charge.

Mahomesj — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 12:49:25 -0000

Just what does that mean 'something else is the problem'? This Country is completely out of control. I have never seen/read or heard of a (suppose) civil society that displays the amount of disrespect....not just for President Obama, but the Office of The President of the United States of America. There is no correlation between ' a sticky situation' and 'tar baby'. Love or hate him, he was and yet remains The President of The United States of America. If this leadership is too much for you, maybe, just maybe you should consider another Country that's more conducive to your lifestyle/likeing.

Re: Cosby: Trayvon Martin case about guns, not race

Bahati Sobukwe — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 17:34:20 -0000

I live in the real world. The reality is that Zimmerman would not have shot a white 17 year old. That's why I know it was about race. He wore a gun because it made him feel like a big man. On the broader scale he was reacting that night to the history of America and it's devaluation of Africans' humanity.

Re: Cosby: Trayvon Martin case about guns, not race

Dricks101050 — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 12:10:01 -0000

I agree with Mr Cosby for the most part. There is actually a confluence of issues here. The humanity and dignity of Trayvon Martin is every bit an issue as the way he died. Not only was he killed, but his remains were mishandled and his family was left in suspense. George Zimmerman's attitude toward Trayvon Martin has a source and he was acting on some principles that he thought were true about African humanity. That is a discussion worth having with the one about the insane proliferation of firearms in this country.

Re: Cosby: Trayvon Martin case about guns, not race

Christoo — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 07:47:11 -0000

I'm in agreement with Bill Cosby. The practice of looking at alternatives before use of a gun just makes good sense.
