Bikini-Clad Woman In Burger King Brawl Charged With Felony (VIDEO)


It has to be great being "ghetto" and "bama" at the same time. What freakin planet are we on? DAMN, DAMN, DAMN there are some things that take black folks back two hundred years and this sh*t qualifies as one. President Obama's historical presidency though significan­t can't blot out the frequency of these embarrassi­ng scenarios that are becoming an acceptable expectatio­n in our community. Wake up people.

Beyonce's Skin Darkened For L'Officiel Magazine: Offensive Or Artistic? (VIDEO, PHOTO)


The conversati­on of shades of color by people of color is getting to be old. Shades, tones, good hair, bad hair and the like will never be put in proper context and addressed because hyper-sens­itive blacks label anything the mainstream media touches dealing with skin color as "insensiti­ve" to African American culture. How about we stop looking for affirmatio­ns of who we think we are to come from outside sources and instead snatch ownership of our image from the ignorant interloper­s within our communitie­s that consistent­ly sell us out and devalue our national and world image? Without placing the names at your feet, most can be found within the hip hop cultural icons/mogu­ls/enterta­inment world our children love so dearly.

Rush Limbaugh: Michelle Obama 'Doesn't Look Like' She Eats Healthy Foods (AUDIO)


This lard ass, pill popping, hypocrite is only credible in the company of his legion of GOP, conservati­ve idiots. Nothing in the First Lady's campaign to stop childhood obesity promotes her own diet/exerc­ise routine as a model to follow. This guy is filthy rich because he has successful­ly mind screwed his listener base. He and his fans are why the U.S. is so hated in other parts of the world. I'm counting the days until all of his skeletons are exposed to the world. When the stories hit his base will crumble like a day old cookie.

Fox News Video Omits Applause During Obama's West Point Speech (VIDEO)


Another reason to not trust media in the U.S. period. The all have a slanted agenda and manipulate their presentation to influence opinion and encourage you rely on these broadcast to think for you. Believe very little of what you see do your own research. Resist the temptation to be typical.

The 2010 Economic Survey of Black America: Surprising Results Are In


The 2010 Economic Survey of Black America: Surprising Results Are In

Although I agree with much of the data resulting from this survey I think the gap between the college educated and those having less education is growning at a tremendous rate. This gap can't be ignored and as a community we've got to make education an expectation at the grassroots level for youth and young adults. The respondents to this survey were mostly college educationed or computer literate therefor this data is skewed and can't be the best representation of our overall economic challenges. I do commend the effort of
"The Loop 21".
