Not only did being black or Hispanic hurt your chances of getting a decent loan, but simply living in areas with high concentrations of blacks and Hispanics did, too.

Almost every African-American knows, is related to, or is acquainted with a Precious Jones or her mother, Mary.

I think last year's vote proved people voted against Bush, and not for Obama. Today's votes are about the economy and jobs in the respective areas, not Obama policies.

The need for identifiable and celebrated minority science figures is no less urgent today than it was during the Civil Rights era.

Hadassah's is one of many such e-mails I have received over the years from whites who confess to having been raised in liberal democratic- homes, but who are now flirting with white nationalism.

Yale professor, John Dovidio, does not feel the ongoing protests, name calling and Hitler labels by white protesters are hate, but a fight by whites struggling to defend and maintain their position and status.

Anger, if you are a minority, is dangerous. If you are a woman, a person of color, gay, etc., your movements must be calm, your voice must be modulated, and your anger must never show.

Cambridge is the most socially conservative, politically liberal bastion in America: The town's p.c. doctrinaire ways of thinking and living exact a stifling, conservative effect.

The squeals for Steele's hide by red faced GOP grousers have gotten so loud that even long defrocked GOP bloviator Newt Gingrich had to come to Steele's rescue.

As long as the GOP has its grip on the millions that made and kept the GOP a heavily white party, it's far from dead as a party.

The result of the fiction that blacks are the prime drug users and abusers has been devastating in law and public policy.

Two taboo subjects exist for black Americans: male gay sex and mental illness. The refusal to discuss them has had devastating results.

Mason may be a big shot. But in my eyes, his a puny, unfunny bully. Hearing that he called President Obama such a terrible word doesn't surprise me at all.

"Miss!" A large man with a crew cut pointed at me and exclaimed, "You have a bomb in your shoe!" This dude was talking to me. I was shocked.

We must turn a critical eye inward, and face the fact that HIV/AIDS has reached crisis levels among the Black population of the US. The statistics are startling.

Obama's call to service for Martin Luther King, Jr., Day was two weeks ago today. But to my generation, I'm afraid it may as well have been issued by Abe Lincoln. It's already history.

This is the nub of it for me with the Lefties: they do not truly understand who they are, nor what they are motivated by. The slightest bump in the road leads to anarchy or dissent.

Without taking anything away from his charismatic appeal, not to mention his policy proposals, could Obama's popularity outside of sub-Saharan Africa be considered an expression of anti-Americanism?

France's "black" population is composed of two groups: those from Africa and those from the French Territories in the Caribbean. They do not get along, but they are united in their enthusiasm for Obama.
