Slave tells his former master where to stick it in a rediscovered letter from 1865
In the summer of 1865, a former slave by the name of Jourdan Anderson sent a letter to his former master. And 147 years later, the document reads as richly as it must have back then.
The roughly 800-word letter, which has resurfaced via various blogs, websites, Twitter and Facebook, is a response to a missive from Colonel P.H. Anderson, Jourdan’s former master back in Big Spring, Tennessee. Apparently, Col. Anderson had written Jourdan asking him to come on back to the big house to work. Continue reading
Unique Challenges Faced By Afro-Latinas
Growing up in Brooklyn as a first generation latina american I can empathize with what this writer is talking about. I think it’s sad that racism still exists within the vast, diverse latino american community. But with consistent dialogue and providing knowledge of our cultures we can overcome such ignorant racism in our communities and elsewhere. Continue reading

Is Obama The Most Disrespected U.S. President Ever?
Since taking office, President Barack Obama has faced a barrage of disrespect.
From conservative pundits constant slip-of-the-tongue references to Obama as “Osama,” Glenn Beck claiming the president “hates white people” and even Donald Trump’s over-hyped demands to see the president’s birth certificate, critics have levied some very brazen, almost radical assaults against Obama.
And while some say it’s just politics as usual, others are questioning whether race is making Obama the most disrespected U.S. president in history. Continue reading
AU head: Libya rebels may be killing black workers

T. J. Holmes
I just had to share some photos of that fine sexy thang T.J. Holmes from CNN. Boy he is easy to look at and listen to! His wife is very lucky.
Holmes was born in West Memphis, Arkansas. He was part of the Leon H. Sullivan Summit, a biannual gathering of world leaders, in 2008 and visited the United Republic of Tanzania. In the African country, he visited orphanages and impoverished communities. Many of these visits were reported on by CNN. Continue reading
Racist blog claims black women are less attractive
A posting on Psychology Today’s the Scientific Fundamentalist blog, titled “Why Are Black Women Rated Less Physically Attractive Than Other Women but Black Men Are Rated Better Looking Than Other Men?” was the talk of the Twittersphere today (usually just introduced with something like “Appalled!” or “Ridiculous!”) … until it disappeared, that is.
By computing the latent “physical attractiveness factor” of study subjects, using a tool called “Add Health” that he doesn’t explain in the post, blogger Satoshi Kanazawa concluded:
[W]omen of all races are on average more physically attractive than the “average” Add Health respondent, except for black women. As the following graph shows, black women are statistically no different from the “average” Add Health respondent, and far less attractive than white, Asian, and Native American women.
Kanazawa (who is also the author of a book called Why Beautiful People Have More Daughters) then muses about the possible explanations for the “markedly lower average level of physical attractiveness among black women.” He disregards differences in BMI and “the race difference in intelligence” (what?), and speculates, “The only thing I can think of that might potentially explain the lower average level of physical attractiveness among black women is testosterone. Africans on average have higher levels of testosterone than other races.”
“The only thing I can think of”? Really? The blog’s presentation of the allegedly scientific findings had a decidedly informal tone, especially given the highly contentious conclusions. It struck us as so outrageous that we almost thought it was a hoax of some sort, and we double-checked the URL to make sure it didn’t include “The Onion.”
Was this why it was suddenly pulled down from the site? We called the publication to find out, and a staffer confirmed that the posting had been deliberately removed (adding that it had received so much traffic that at one point the site went down) but gave no further information other than to refer us to the site’s editors.
Another Black Man gets Blamed when a Philly Cop Fakes Shooting.
Well, that Mysterious Unidentified Black Man (MUBM), who commits all the crimes white people don’t want to admit to, has struck again in Philly. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer: A Philadelphia police sergeant who said he was shot last month by an unidentified black man in the city’s Overbrook section actually fabricated the entire story and shot himself, Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said this morning. Sgt. Robert Ralston, a 21-year veteran of the department, admitted to homicide detectives early this morning that his previously reported story was false.
Ramsey called the incident “a terrible and embarrassing chapter in our history.” Asked why Ralston concocted the tale and injured himself, Ramsey said he didn’t know.
Allison Steele, a writer for the Inquirer, reported on Tuesday:
Ralston will be suspended for 30 days with the intent to dismiss, Ramsey said. Ralston, married with five children, will face no criminal charges in the case, because he was offered immunity in exchange for his confession.
Ralston will also have to pay the cost of the massive manhunt that was sparked by his tale on April 5, Ramsey said.
In a frantic search for the MUBM, police spent hours combing a West Philadelphia neighborhood for possible suspects, although no one was formally questioned or arrested. The Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge No. 5, had even posted a $10,000 reward for information leading to the suspect.
Kanye was right! Bush really does hate black people
George W. Bush Wipes Hand On Bill Clinton’s Shirt After Shaking Hands With Haitians (VIDEO)
I already pretty much thought so already, I mean George did say that poor black people make him uncomfortable..at least he was being honest..this is horrible and very embrassing to our country..watch
During their first joint visit to Haiti this week, George W. Bush appears to have wiped his hand on Bill Clinton’s shirt after shaking hands with a crowd of Haitians.
If that is what happened — Breitbart.TV first raised the question after seeing the video below — it builds on Barack Obama’s story of Bush’s compulsive need for hand sanitizer. But whatever Bush’s reason, it looks pretty bad.
