*The properties owned by residents of every city are required to maintain their property. When they do not, neighbors complain because all properties depreciate when the property is not maintained.

*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, [...]
*The United States of America is a much more diverse nation than it was a century ago. It is much more diverse than it was 50 years ago. And now it just may be the most diverse nation on the planet with the release of the latest U.S. population statistics. The U.S. Census Bureau has [...]
*We have our favorite fast food spots and for some of us, Papa John’s is at the top of that list. Well …. not anymore. The latest “dumb-ass-thing-to-do-in-a fast-food-restaurant” happened in uptown Manhattan last Friday. Normally, when the cashier takes your order, they give you a number or you give them your name. Well, this [...]
*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.

*What is going on in America? Are we regressing to the racist temper tantrums of the pre-Civil Rights era of this country? What else can explain the juvenile sprinklings of the N-word and a swastika around a college campus. The students are not going to take it laying down though. According to the Grio.com, Michigan [...]

*A lot of folks, Blacks included, think Bill Maher is pretty funny and politically astute guy.

The latest example occurred on his most recent HBO show [...]
*Arizona’s new immigration law has sparked countless protests and has some government officials in other states cutting business ties to show their disapproval. News about the new immigration law spread faster than the swine flu of 2009. Too bad most people didn’t get all the facts before they jumped on the ‘boycott Arizona’ bandwagon. It’s [...]
*Mrs. Cheng feels like she’s living under siege in her own home. In January, an 83-year-old neighbor, also a Chinese immigrant, was beaten into a coma. Days after he died in March, Mrs. Cheng, 53, was attacked and pushed off a public transit platform, coming to minutes later with front teeth knocked out and her [...]
*South Africa’s leading white supremacist Eugene Terre’blanche was murdered recently – allegedly by two Black men who worked on his farm. The killing heightened racial tensions in the country once rule by its white minority population. But last week the events surrounding Terre’blanche’s death became even more bizarre. Police authorities revealed that they were investigating [...]
*I received my census form, dutifully filled it out and mailed it off. In the blank reserved for racial classification I wrote in capital letters, “HUMAN.” It was widely reported that for racial classification President Obama checked the box marked “African-American” as opposed to writing in “mixed race,” which would have been more factually correct, [...]
Mary Norwood & Kasim Reed *When the final votes are counted, it’s likely the black political machine that integrated Atlanta’s City Hall – and kept it that way for four decades – will have pulled through one more time to deliver a fifth consecutive black mayor.
