*The economy is full of qualified employees that cannot seem to catch a break. The qualified applicants that aren’t finding jobs range from the experienced to the college educated, degree toting professionals, yet no one is knocking down their doors. But Yolanda Spivey, an insurance professional, could not understand how the offers simply dried up [...]
*Many of us forget that President Obama is partly caucasian, but not Chris Rock! He figures that white people are turning out in droves for Mitt Romney because he’s white. Well, he just wants them to know that he has the best white candidate for them … in case they forgot. Rock makes his case [...]
*There are many cultures that come to America and live as white or Caucasian. Then there are some that have been designated as such in their own country, but come here and are considered anything but white. You ever pay attention to the race and/or ethnic categories that you fit into on applications and other [...]
*I’ve said this before and I’m saying it again, race relations in America are about the same as they were 50 years ago. Even as we see interracial marriages and relationships on the rise, every now and then, we get evidence of that fact. This appears to be one of those times. The police in [...]
*Jay-Z will probably hug his little Blue Ivy a little tighter tonight as he watches the latest news unfold from his humble beginnings in the Marcy Houses in Brooklyn’s Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood. In his raps, he has mentioned the rats and roaches of his former residence, but he didn’t tell us they were there since [...]
*Clothing, it seems, can make us color blind, because whether we perceive someone as ‘white’ or ‘black’ depends not just on skin tone – but also how smartly they are dressed, according to researchers. Volunteers in a U.S. study tended to label someone as white if they were dressed in a suit – even if [...]
*We’ve been reporting on similarities of race relations in this country today as opposed to that of old. But, now there are reports that interracial marriage between African Americans and whites are on the rise. Other minority groups aren’t seeing a significant difference in their rate of marriage to whites. (more…)
*Chocolate City has slipped some cream in the cup and folks are starting to notice all over the country. The city that was the first on record to become a majority black town was Washington, D.C. They’ve managed to maintain that status until recently when the nationwide gentrification touched down there a few years ago. [...]
*The America we’ve known for so long has been black and white. But now there are many more ethnicities that have risen up in the racial ranks to be considered. The Gerber baby was a reflection of America and was always a little white baby, but now the Gerber baby has morphed into dozens of babies [...]
*A Southern California GOP official who sent out an e-mail picturing President Barack Obama’s face on the body of a baby chimpanzee (see photo below) issued an apology late Monday after a weekend of criticism that ended with a strongly worded public rebuke from the local Republican Party chairman, who also called for an ethics [...]
*The recent report that America’s most segregated cities are just as if not more segregated than they were a couple decades ago is hardly a revelation. The report focused on the top ten most segregated cities. But this could easily be expanded to find vast and unbroken pockets of racial segregation in many of the [...]
*Some African American students are furious over the newly appointed Assistant Director of the Student Union at the University of North Florida. The students, who held a small protest over the appointment, are upset over the fact that he’s a freshman, he’s only been to one of their meetings, annnnnnnnd he’s … white! The students feel that Torey McCleskey [...]
*A Black Los Angeles business woman recently launched a dating website (SwirlSociety.com) which seeks to pair Black women with white men. According to 32-year-old Shon Anthony, she has been “amazed” at the number of emails she has received from people expressing interest in her services. Meanwhile, similar dating services are springing up across the internet. [...]
*(Via Washington Post) You would certainly expect black and white women to shop at the same stores, luxuriate in the same spas, even frequent the same makeup counters. And more than five decades after Rosa Parks held on to her bus seat, they do. But there was one beauty barrier that was never breached: hair [...]
*(Journal & Times) A detailed report released Monday explains why President Obama and the Democrats did poorly in the midterm elections held last month. In essence, Republicans succeeded in playing on fears (some real and some imagin*ed) which scared substantial segments of the voting population away from the president’s economic policies and liberal agenda. Those [...]
