My position on illegal immigration is very public—I DO NOT SUPPORT AMNESTY under any circumstances. So, with the new illegal immigration bill signed into law in Arizona and the volume of phone calls seeking my opinion, I have decided to share my thoughts on this issue.

But this time, I want to try a different approach. Those who are interested in my detailed views on illegal immigration can go to my website and read some of my previous columns of this subject. In thi

The March 2010 CDC report stated that nearly half of black women in the U.S. carried the Herpes virus. Here's why those statistics and others like them may be misleading.

The March 2010 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) sited startling high levels of the genital herpes virus among African American woman. The report found that 48 percent of African-American women have been exposed to the virus that causes genital herpes. The report gave many African Americans the al

AFRICANS DO NOT HATE ONE ANOTHER

I wish to take issue with two dangerous and rather irresponsible generalisations that Percy Zvomuya made in "Africans have never liked one another" (May 23). One is that Africans have always hated Africans. The other is that people who originally came from Malawi and settled in Zimbabwe were called derogatory names and discriminated against. Africans have always hated other Africans -- a breathtaking statement. Amazing for a person who is obviously Zimbabwean and should know better.

I was born, b

White networks are beginning to charge for their services and instead of black social networks capitalizing on how we differ from them that would encourage blacks to join us these black networks like Izania continue to report and advance white networks while hypocritically proclaiming that:

"There are social networks for nearly every interest group. The iZania online community at www.izania.com was a social network for descendants of Africa before Facebook, and Twitter, but we utilize these tool

African against who?

http://www.thegrio.com/opinion/immigrants-fight-could-pit-black-against-brown.php


So, is this another attempt to play the race card, or is this a simple case of " in your face dislike, jealousy, or fear" that created this debaucle..or perhaps both?

And if neither, what and what can be or should be done?

i have my own thoughts as a native Spanish speaker?

As a woman from Cuba and A NON

As a non Latina/Hispanic Spanish speaking sistah from Cuba to be exact, i am clear concerning the relentless efforts by the former major society to annihilate, eradicate, stilfle, suffocate, smother and literally murder and remove from the face of the earth " THE AFRICAN MAN".

While traveling recently to Atlanta, as a ProBono Atty and supporter of the Innocense Project, while in my hotel, i began to re-read the book "Yoruga" by Marimba Ani. While reading, I began to

Today, Tuesday, April 27th at 7:10 AM, I will appear live on CNN as a guest analyst along with Illinois State Representative LaShawn K. Ford to further the debate on whether or not The National Guard should be deployed to patrol Chicago streets this summer to help stop the rise in violence. Representative Ford has already publicly called for the National Guard as a soltuin to help stop the violence, but I will argue that while Ford and other leaders have done the best that they can do with this

The Chicago Tribune recently had a forum hosted by WVON's Cliff Kelley, and there were no major headlines in the days after the forum, like many others that have put any kind of dent in the continued rise in Chicago Violence. Is one reason that major media seems to make more of the headlines of calling in the National Guard than they do to local community groups who have identified solutions "on the ground" that could truly help stop the rise in Chicago violence, shootings, and killings. It's no

How does a simple deployment of new police officers address the state of mind, social conscioussness, lack of respect of law enforcement, and the ongoing street battles over desperate economic conditionns that drive the vionece, plan to stop it ? ?

Where are the plans to deal "hands-on" with the mindet of a people, OR the plans to find more innovative ways for people to make money this summer from something other that the illegal street environments?
