Val of Babalu Blog posted this on his site yesterday. I thought it was pretty interesting so I am going to post portions of it here.
Here are the goals that stuck out to me:

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that [...]
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — National pregnancy center groups are continuing to reach out to black communities in an effort to combat the presence of abortion facilities and reduce the alarming rates of abortions on African-American women.
Despite strong Christian upbringings in many black communities across the nation, black women account for 13 percent of the American [...]
Haitians living abroad propped up the economy of their impoverished Caribbean homeland by sending more than $1.65 billion in cash to relatives last year, according to a report from the Inter-American Development Bank.
That sum represented twice Haiti’s national budget and 30 per cent of its gross domestic product, said Jean Geneus, Haiti’s minister in charge [...]
(tuscaloosanews.com) “Doctors receive money typically in return for delivering lectures about drugs to other doctors. Some of the doctors receiving the most money sit on committees that prepare guidelines instructing doctors nationwide about when to use medicines. Dr. Collins, who received more money than anyone else in the state, is among a limited number whose [...]
I just heard on the radio that Ted Hayes (homeless activist) is planning on having a protest in the downtown Los Angeles area this Sunday @11am. The protest will center around the growing issue of the negative impact illegal immigration is having on the Black community in that area and how the local government is [...]
I know I have been on this issue quite a bit these past few days, but I think it is an important one. I just found this article written by Debra Dickerson that spells out what I addressed a few days ago on how both the media and commentators are trying to spin this story. [...]

“But three decades of experience, combined with two decades of reading and reflection, have convinced me that our educational system is a big waste of time and money. Practically every politician vows to spend more on education, and as an insider, I can’t helping asking “Why? Do you want us to waste even [...]

The three top banks, Barclays Bank of Kenya (BBK), Standard Chartered Bank Kenya and the Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) realised over half of all the banking industry’s profits.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Many predicted Vanessa Williams would fade into obscurity when she gave up her Miss America crown because of a scandal over nude photographs, but her star shone brightly Monday.
Williams received the 2,331st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Fellow cast members from the TV show “Ugly Betty,” in which she [...]
WASHINGTON (NNPA)  U. S. Sen. Barack Obama, a leading candidate for the Democratic nomination for president, has denounced reports of a rivalry between him and former presidential candidate Al Sharpton. In response, Sharpton has all but declared that he will not run again for the Democratic nomination.
“This is just something that was concocted by [...]
Recently, millions of Americans like any other weekend decided to escape the hustle and bustle of real life to go see the movie “300“. Like past movies like Braveheart and Gladiator, the central themes of this latest pic are loyalty and honor AT ANY COST. And as expected, 300 smashed the record for a movie [...]
This is a piece that I found in the BBC this morning. While it shines a light on a little known problem in Haiti, IMO, the author goes way out of his way to make a case that poverty causes people to enslave one another. This says a lot about how he really thinks about [...]
Before students at Morey Middle School took CSAP tests this year, school administrators pulled all the African-American students into two assemblies and told them that, as a whole, they were not performing as well as their peers at the school.
The sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders were told that the school’s principal and assistant principal care about [...]
