*This may not be much news to some, but a survey was taken on a group of friends, colleagues and family members. The result was that Black women are more religious than other women in different ethnic groups. And the men are just right behind. According to the Washington Post, 74 percent of black women [...]
*The teenage population of every generation is accused of the most irresponsible behavior. Once Rock & Roll hit the scene, parents felt it was the gateway to hell. Then came the sex and drugs associated with the music and we never recuperated once crack touched down. But along with the drug abuse, the sexual encounters [...]
*It appears that the landscape of sexuality in America isn’t getting as “explorative” as one might think. If you watch television long enough, you would think that everyone is swinging and swinging from the rafters (and/or pole) in the bedroom. But nothing could be further from the truth. The condom company, Trojan, conducted their annual [...]
*Men are having a hard time on the job market and it’s showing. Women are moving and shaking at a much faster rate and the newest study may have some men getting ready to be the new housew…I mean househusbands.

*Africa is in distress throughout the continent, but the Congolese nation is being hit hard by the worst imaginable crime against women … rape. Not only is it barbaric, but the purpose of the rapes in the Congo is to humiliate and dismantle societies. The militia leave behind broken women with, a lot of times, [...]

*We couldn’t be more surprised about the views of Mississippi natives, a lot of them conservative, that responded to a poll regarding the likeliness of which republican they would vote for in the next Presidential election. Why the poll included a question about whether or not the candidate they chose was for interracial marriage, really didn’t make sense. (more…)

*Do you think you could take the U.S. citizenship test and pass it today? It’s going to ask you questions like, “Who is your vice President?” and “Why did we fight the Cold War?” How about “Define the Bill of Rights.” Ummmhuh, just as we thought. Don’t worry! You’re not alone. And the worst part [...]
*America is a melting pot of cultures that haven’t been functioning as a unified community, per se. But fortunately that seems that may be changing. It may be that the entertainment industry has a lot to do with this contribution to the new America–the America that now wants to be darker and curvier. Hip-hop has penetrated [...]
*Abby Nurre, 27, was hired last summer as an eighth- grade math teacher at St. Edmond Catholic School.
