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...

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...

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...
