Let's make a post-New Year's Resolution to not be Roland Burris in 2009. Let's avoid doing things that intentionally make life difficult for other Blacks, including our Black coworkers. Let's make a resolution to not be crabs in a barrel for the New Year. Let's say no to the Roland Burris mentality!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Even if you've o
The sudden eruption of gunfire horrified Herrington’s companions–his cousin Marcel Alexander, then 17, and friend Chris Collins, then 18, who are also black. “I looked at Donnell and he had this big old hole in his neck,” Alexander recalls. “I tried to help him up, and they started shooting again.” Behind him, he says, the [...]
The White House has turned down a request from the family of President-elect Barack Obama to move into Blair House in early January so that the Obama children can start school on January 5. The White House has refused to reveal why they turned down the Obama family, but a real estate agent disclosed that the Bush house had deed restrictions excluding blacks.
Esta garotada simpática e inofensiva do vídeo acima é o time de rugby da Nova Zelândia, os multicampeões conhecidos como All Blacks (por causa do uniforme).

It's been a fantastic year for the All Blacks, as they have looked to erase the memories of last years early exit from the World Cup.And erase them they have.Out of the fifteen games they've played (14 Tests and the game against Munster) they've won thirteen, which is an impressive result for a team that many people thought would struggle after Graham Henry was re-appointed as coach.Henry, along w
The All Blacks have capped of their Grand Slam Tour in style, beating England 32-6 in what was another game of two different halves. The win gives them their third Grand Slam title, and ends the year in the best possible fashion.England came out strong, just as Scotland, Ireland and Wales did, and just like those three England kept in the hunt in what was a first half of penalties. England's only
400 years of unpaid African labour — During their upcoming tête-à -tête, President da Silva of Brazil is likely to tell President Kibaki of Kenya that it is Brazil, not the US, that was the first white-dominated country to have a black president in 1909. His name was Nilo Pecanha. But statistics show that the racial [...]
The All Blacks proved too strong in the second half, as they defeated the Welsh 29-9 at the Millennium Stadium on Sunday. It's the fifth game of the end of year tour that the All Blacks have gone without having any points scored against them in the second fourty, which is an outstanding effort when you consider the caliber of teams they've faced.Wales came out strong, much the same as Ireland did,
Graham Henry has once again selected a full strength side for the Grand Slam tour, and this time the Welsh will feel the full force of the All Blacks. The only change from the side that played Ireland last weekend comes at center, where Richard Kahui replaces the injured Conrad Smith. Smith has been suffering from a groin injury for some time now, and will not be risked against Wales.Kahui has bee
It was a lucky escape for the All Blacks, as a try by Joe Rokocoko in the 75th minute gave them a narrow 18-16 lead - one which they would manage to hold on to until full-time.Munster scored a try just before half-time to give them a 16-10 lead going into the break, and although they didn't score in the second half, they held on to their lead for most of the second fourty - only to watch Rokocoko
I spoke to a lot of people before the Test on Sunday morning (NZ time), and I was very surprised at how many people thought the All Blacks were in danger of losing to the Irish. So many people thought that this Irish side was going to be strong enough to out-play our strongest side, and that playing at the famous Croke Park in Dublin would give the Irish all the motivation they needed.Well, I can
LAS VEGAS — Comedian Wanda Sykes says the passage of a same-sex marriage ban in California has led to her be more outspoken about being gay."You know, I don't really talk about my sexual orientation.

You know it really gets old after a while.

According to one Irish newspaper, the All Black's are the most hated side in rugby - and that the only people that love them are us New Zealanders. We're not sure about where they got their facts from, though, because the All Blacks are known for their wide appeal across the world, especially in the UK. Why else would they get 50,000 people to the game against Scotland?It certainly wasn't just to
While conservatives may grieve for a moment, I suspect that Obama supporters will ache with regret every day for the next four years. Those who are in for the rudest awakening will be African Americans (and anyone else who voted for Obama based on the possibility of his being the first black president.)
And so it begins.The opening act of a new political passion play has now commenced.And not with a whimper. As his predecessor would say, President-elect Barack Obama "thumped" Sen. John McCain in a not quite landslide. To be sure, even as we hoped against hope (and change), most conservatives saw this one coming.Nevertheless, our disappointment is manifest, our sense of disillusionment is palpable

Here are my thoughts on the Australia player ratings from the fourth Bledisloe test in Honkers. Tally with what you saw?

With all the leaking that happened this week in Hong Kong it wasn't really a surprise when the Australian Bledisoe team sheet hit. A few thoughts on it:
Some call it a "get Carter" ploy, but I reckon Mortlock at 12 is more of a necessity. Barnes' kicking game is going to be gold-dust in Europe and the shoulder is still not 100%. There are those that point out we stuck 4 tries on the ABs in...

Graham Henry and Co. have named their 35 man squad for the tour to Britain, which includes the Test against Australia in Hong Kong this Saturday.The squad includes seven new comers, while Jason Eaton, Corey Flynn, Joe Rokocoko and Ross Filipo have all made a return to the All Blacks after absences.The only concern with the squad is that John Afoa is carrying an injury, and could be in some doubt -

The All Black selectors have named a 25 man training squad, which will take on the New Zealand Barbarians on Wednesday.This isn't the full squad that will tour the Northern hemisphere in a few weeks, as none of the Wellington or Canterbury players have been selected due to their upcoming Air New Zealand Cup final this weekend.There have been a few new names added to the All Blacks squad from earli

This explosive charge—if true—would cast serious doubts on Palin’s fitness for the vice-presidency. [...]
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - African American women are generally less likely than white women to pursue genetic testing for BRCA1 or BRCA2, the gene mutations associated with an increased risk of break cancer, researchers report. However, African American women with a recent diagnosis of breast cancer are much more likely to do so, according to the article in the Journal of Clinical Oncology."Ever
With the Tri Nations now complete and the Bledisloe Cup safely back in the cupboard for another year, it's a good time to look back on the All Black's season. There's been some great performances by the boys, and also a couple that were disappointing - but as whole, you'd have to say the year has been a success.The most pleasing thing about the season has been the demise of the rotation system, wh
I’ve had many conversations with friends about workplace racism.

It sounds terribly cliche, but we're going to say it anyway - the All Black's performance on Saturday night was a game of two halves.The first half was dominated by the Wallabies, who were definitely playing the better rugby - but they also had the majority of the ball, which helps.The Wallabies scored either side of half time, and for a while there it looked like the All Blacks were struggling.Bu

Fahhk. I'm going to need some time to write anything semi-objective about this game, as today Australia managed to excite and infuriate in almost equal measure in a loss that handed the Tri Nations to New Zealand for the umpteenth friggen time.

The start of the new Australian rugby dream, and any meaningful success comes down to this one test in Brisbane on Saturday. A loss, and the only difference from 2007 is the South African Hoodoo broken, but at the cost of a record thrashing. A win, and regardless what happens in Honkers or Europe, this is the most successful year since 2001, with further glory to be had.
So what to expect?

The All Blacks are set to take on Samoa on Wednesday night in a one off Test in New Plymouth, and while the Samoan side may not be as strong as it could possibly be (don't get us started), it's a good chance for the All Blacks to stretch their legs ahead of next weeks clash against Australia.They should have no problem putting plenty of points on the board.

The article was about how blacks feel about their government. "if a star of her status and skin tone can make statements like that, what do rank and file black people think?" What do that mean? I hope you mean cause she is mixed. Are you saying that as a black man of the lighter skinned persuasion i am not a rank and file black person? It seems that that is what you mean, and i am offended.
