I think the NAACP and National Urban League do. While I have great respect and reverance for these organizations, why does it seem like they continue to look for a "black agenda" around which we can all unite with the fervor and passion of decades past, when in fact there's a need for multiple agendas. The problem is that we all say we want an "honest dialogue" about race, but we've been having the same old arguments for years -- affirmative action, inner-city dysfunction, overt and covert racism -- and we seem to be stuck. We need a new language, a new vocabulary and syntax.
I say this because blacks are now more powerful than ever. Census data suggests that there's a sizable cluster of educated, middle-class black households on par with whites, and another large cluster of disadvantaged black households that lag much further behind.
What are you thoughts?

I mean, seriously. A smiling red "Indian" face!?! I despise the Red Sox, but I can't bring myself to root for a team with that logo. Everytime I look at it, I cringe.

No, perverted answers please. I catch her doing this and sometimes it is arousing for me, but if she wakes up she denies it.

According to what I just read on Yahoo News, according to some in Congress if you're a black convicted felon on probation, and you and a couple of your black buddies beat a white guy for supposedly putting a noose in a tree, you should not have your probation violated and sent back to jail.

If I am a convicted white patriotic felon on probation and I beat up somebody for burning the American flag, will Congress also back me and say I should not be sent back to jail for violating my probation?

I got my Betta about a week ago, and as soon as i set up his tank i fed him 3 pellets he only ate One and the rest sank to the bottom, now i only try giving him one and he swims quickly up to it brings it into his mouth and then spits it out... he looks relitivly Healthy he swims and moves alot.. but then i noticed he might have FIN ROT!!!!!!! his fins dont look damaged in anyway he just had black on them but its hard to tell because he has a dark face.. so it might be just his Colouring?? Anyways what can i feed him other than pellets? i read that bettas only eat pellets when they are STARVING.. i know there is bloodworms and shrimp brines? but that stuff constipates them and are only treats? right?... Oh and hes not constipated i know that forsure... Also how can i treat this possible fin rot? i read that a bit of Aquarium salt works.. but is that even true?

there is absolutely NO beneficial value for smoking.

An American soldier, serving in World War II, had just returned from several weeks of intense action on the German front lines. He had finally been granted R&R and was on a train bound for London.

The train was very crowded, so the soldier walked the length of the train, looking for an empty seat. The only unoccupied seat was directly adjacent to a well dressed middle aged lady and was being used by her little dog. The war weary soldier asked, "Please, ma'am, may I sit in that seat?" The English woman looked down her nose at the soldier, sniffed and said, "You Americans. You are such a rude class of people. Can't you see my little Fifi is using that seat?"

The soldier walked away, determined to find a place to rest, but after another trip down to the end of the train, found himself again facing the woman with the dog. Again he asked, "Please, lady. May I sit there? I'm very tired." The English woman wrinkled her nose and snorted, "You Americans! Not only are you rude, you are also arrogant. Imagine!"

The soldier didn't say anything else. He leaned over, picked up the little dog, tossed it out the window of the train and sat down in the empty seat. The woman shrieked and demanded that someone defend her and chastise the soldier. An English gentleman sitting across the aisle spoke up, "You know, sir, you Americans do seem to have a penchant for doing the wrong thing. You eat holding the fork in the wrong hand. You drive your autos on the wrong side of the road.

And now, sir, you've thrown the wrong b!tch out of the window."
