  • Undervotes in Broward US Senate race

    Broward County’s undervote rate is way out of line with every other county in Florida, which exhibited, at most, a 0.8-percent difference. (There is one outlier — the sparsely populated Liberty County — where votes cast in the Senate race were 1 percent higher than in the governor race, but there we’re talking about a difference of 26 votes, not more than 26,000, as is the case in Broward.)

    On tonight's Talking Points on The Factor, BOR just crushed liberals, rap "stars" race hustlers and the current Black Culture in general. I urge anyone who missed it to tune in later tonight on the 11PM EDT show. He pointed out that young Blacks commit 10X more murders then Hispanic and Whites combined. He mentioned the fact that over 70 percent of Black children are born out of wedlock. No father figure leads to Black youths getting involved in crime and drugs. Much more but I can't remember it all. Well worth watching.

    SILVER SPRING, Md., Aug. 27 - For a moment, the Ethiopian-born activist seemed to melt into the crowd, blending into the sea of black professors, health experts and community leaders considering how to educate blacks about the dangers of prostate cancer. But when he piped up to suggest focusing some attention on African immigrants, the dividing lines were promptly and pointedly drawn. The focus of the campaign, the activist, Abdulaziz Kamus, was told, would be strictly on African-Americans."I said, 'But I am African and I am an American citizen; am I not African-American?' " said Mr. Kamus, who is an...

  • 90% Of Whites (in UK) Have Few Or No Black Friends

    More than nine out of 10 white Britons have no or hardly any ethnic minority friends, according to a poll that reveals the continuing gulf between races and religions more than 40 years after the UK became a multicultural society. The Guardian has seen details of the survey, to be released this week by the Commission for Racial Equality. It shows that a majority of white people do not share the bonds of close friendship with their fellow black, Asian or Muslim Britons, meaning they may lack the empathy that close contact can bring. The CRE warns this leaves swaths...

    NAACP leaders stunned by remarks of prominent comedianPosted: May 20, 2004 1:00 a.m. Eastern© 2004 WorldNetDaily.com In the presence of NAACP President Kweisi Mfume and other African-American leaders, comedian Bill Cosby took aim at blacks who don't take responsibility for their economic status, blame police for incarcerations and teach their kids poor speaking habits. Cosby made his remarks at a Constitution Hall event in Washington Monday night commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Brown vs. Board of Education decision that paved the way for integrated schools, reported Richard Leiby in his Reliable Source column for the Washington Post.

  • Coke ad the unreal thing

    If you own a TV, you've seen the Coca-Cola ad in which Sharlene Hector from the band Basement Jaxx stands on a crowded street singing "I Wish I Knew" and handing Cokes to smiling passersby. In 1971, Coke ads sang, "I'd like to buy the world a Coke." Now, apparently, that's what Coke is doing. This new campaign, like the earlier one, is happy. It's catchy. It's also cynical and appalling. "I Wish I Knew," for those who just tuned in, is a truncated version of "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free," which was written...

    Race issue springs to forefront in firing 03:16 AM CDT on Wednesday, August 27, 2003By SCOTT PARKS / The Dallas Morning News The racial divide in Dallas yawned wider Tuesday as Terrell Bolton took his final bow after four tumultuous years as police chief. Prominent whites said Chief Bolton's firing had nothing to do with his race. "It's not about race," Mayor Laura Miller said. "It's a crime issue." But many blacks said race had everything to do with the abrupt cancellation of the chief's Dallas Police Department career after 23 years. Also Online Video: Brett Shipp and Rebecca...

    Black judge's renomination urged 01/11/2003 Associated Press WASHINGTON - Two Missouri Democrats are asking President Bush to renominate the black judge who was the key witness for the opposition during Attorney General John Ashcroft's confirmation hearings. Reps. Dick Gephardt and William Lacy Clay asked the president to appoint Missouri Supreme Court Judge Ronnie White to the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which will have a vacancy in April. Judge White, nominated in 1997, was the first district court nominee turned down on the floor in four decades. Mr. Ashcroft, then a Missouri senator seeking re-election, called Judge White...
