*David Alan Grier can thank one person for his role in “Tyler Perry Presents Peeples” – his co-star Kerry Washington. “Kerry and I were doing “Race” on Broadway and the [film’s] producers all came,” the 56-year-old “In Living Color” veteran told us during interviews for “Peeples,” opening Friday. “I don’t know how much Kerry had [...]
*Co-host of MSNBC’s daytime show “The Cycle” Touré joined HuffPost Live host Marc Lamont Hill Thursday and defended his network’s all-white primetime lineup. The cable news industry has come under criticism for its lack of diversity generally, and within primetime in particular. Though MSNBC has several African-American hosts, none of them anchor primetime shows. But [...]
*For five hours on August 8, 1944, the young second lieutenant – Jackie Robinson, the future # 42 of the Brooklyn Dodgers - stood nervously before an all-white nine judge military jury panel at Camp (now Fort) Hood, Texas. He faced multiple charges in his court martial proceedings. His only real offense was that he had [...]
When I was invited to review a play entitled, “Honky” taking place at Urban Stages, located at 259 West 30th Street in Manhattan, naturally I was quite curious, given the word “Honky” is generally associated with a derogatory term used to address Caucasians. However, as I see it, Honky is a term which musters little [...]
*This summer, Daniel Sunjata, 41, will return to series television in USA Network’s “Graceland,” a Southern Cali-set drama about a crew of undercover DEA, FBI and Customs agents who work crimes while forced to live together in a seized beachfront mansion. The house – nicknamed Graceland by the drug lords who previously owned it – [...]
*Here we go again! We’re trying to figure out whether race and gender is indeed a factor in the advantages provided in America and is it hindering or helping the individuals it aims to support. The short answer is HELL YES! You know and I know that the racial issues in America are not waning, [...]
*Race was another hot button issue on “The View” Thursday when Ann Coulter joined the ladies to talk about her latest book, “Mugged.” The conversations, however, quickly turned into a back and forth battle with co-host Whoopi Goldberg. The Republican pundit declared that liberals use race to “promote causes that have nothing to do with [...]
*When I first heard about the disastrous incident involving Trayvon Martin, I thought it was a sad and unfortunate loss for the Martin family. What’s worse is that we live in a world where prejudice exists, which was not in God’s plans. When my father, Apostle Frederick K.C. Price, began the series on “Race, Religion and Racism” in [...]
*The republican candidate of the hour is Mitt Romney. He’s riding pretty high on his win in the primary elections in Maryland, Wisconsin, and D.C. yesterday. But, his bones continue to fall out of his closet as he remains in the campaign. As he campaigned in Mormon country, Wisconsin was obviously fine with his answers [...]
*(Via LA Times) – Finally, President Obama has spoken as a black man. It wasn’t entirely on his own initiative, but a question he was asked about Trayvon Martin left him no choice. When he finally spoke, he began haltingly, as if his words were taking him out on a high wire with no net [...]
8There’s a conversation on the table. It’s about race. Actually, maybe we’ve been a little too polite in recent times. Maybe it’s time, we really say what is on our minds. Maybe we just tell the truth. (Are you a fan of EURweb? Like us on Facebook or Follow us on Twitter.) My oldest son [...]
*In its upcoming session the Supreme Court will decide whether race will be a factor I college admissions. Their ruling will be a major factor in determining the degree to which we live in a post racial society. The last time the Supreme Court took on this issue, the justices discovered that in a system [...]
*With GOP presidential contender Herman Cain’s presidential candidacy effectively dead, now’s a good time to turn a hard glare on the suddenly surging GOP Presidential contender Newt Gingrich’s racial skeletons. His closet is stuffed with them. The first reminder of that was his off the cuff crack at Harvard that ghetto children are lazy and [...]
*In Steve Stoute’s provocative online series “The Tanning Effect,” actress Gwyneth Paltrow lends readers her thoughts about racial diversity in the industry and the Black community. “I don’t want to bemoan the fact that it should’ve happened 50 years ago, because it’s here now. And it’s like the way I see it is that I [...]
*It is significant to illustrate that the first riot on record in America was by white people. It was in 1863 and was called the New York Draft Riot. This fact is significant because the popular lie that racists love to perpetuate is that African descendants are violent for no reason, but owe the nation [...]
