All people are individuals before they are members of a race
Every person is responsible for his or her own decisions in life. The fact that a person of color lacks self-esteem, character and common decency - leading him to resort to violence is absolutely not an indicator of behavioral tendencies across the entire race.
Racism vs. Journalism - When the News isn't Politically Correct
A man punches a woman in the face following a racially-charged argument. A journalist reports that the man was African American and the woman Caucasian when reporting the story.
Racism vs. Journalism - When the News isn't Politically Correct
A man punches a woman in the face following a racially-charged argument. A journalist reports that the man was African American and the woman Caucasian when reporting the story. His rationale is that because the argument that led to the assault was racially-charged, and thus that the fact that the man and woman were of different races was a factual detail of relevance to the story. Despite reporting the facts in a completely objective manner without editorializing in the slightest, the reporter is accused of being a racist for reporting that the man accused of assaulting the woman was African American. No, this is not a passage from George Orwell's 1984...
Why Racial Tension? Individuals Are To Blame For Individual Decisions
All people are individuals before they are members of races, social classes, etc. Every person is responsible for his or her own decisions in life. The fact that a person of color lacks self-esteem, character and common decency - leading him to resort to violence is absolutely not an indicator of behavioral tendencies across the entire race. The same goes for every other race known to man.

Black Women for Obama Joins Movement for Change
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) September 4, 2007 -- Black Women For Obama (http://www.blackwomenforobama.org), a newly formed organization of African-American women who are Obama supporters, announced today that it has held its first formal meeting, and will be aggressively working with the Obama Campaign to enlighten other black women about Senator Barack Obama's vision for the nation.
"Our group is made up of black women who have evaluated the candidates, examined the issues, and decided that Senator Obama is the best choice to lead this nation at this time. Our primary goal is to encourage as many black women as possible to become part of the political process - however, we're confident that if they do the same evaluation, they will see that Senator Obama is the one to support," says Patricia Wilson-Smith, the group's Executive Director.
The organization has plans to go nationwide. They have already formed official chapters in Georgia, Missouri, South Carolina, Texas and Indiana, and are actively recruiting members to form state chapters in the remaining first primary states - New Hampshire, Iowa, Florida, and Nevada.
According to BlackAmericaWeb.com, black women across America are "meeting, mobilizing and empowering themselves as a critical voting bloc for the 2008 presidential election." In this election more than any other, black women will have a unique and important voice. "In 2004, black Americans cast 14 million votes, 59% of which were cast by black women. Our group is dedicated to debunking the myth that because of her husband's popularity, Senator Clinton will get our votes by default. We believe that there is someone better equipped to lead our nation, and that someone is Senator Barack Obama", says Khesha Duncan, Co-Director for BWFO.
The group is actively planning a number of fund-raisers, voter registration events and is emulating the 'house party' approach to canvassing adopted by "Women for Obama", Michelle Obama's organization within the official Obama campaign. BWFO will encourage women across the nation to have open dialogs about the candidates and decide for themselves who the Democratic nominee should be.
"We've also created a website that is a clearinghouse of information about the 2008 campaign, and Senator Obama," said Wilson-Smith. "The site is a collection of articles and op-ed pieces written by BWFO contributors, as well as multi-media and other content relevant to Obama's campaign and the election in general."
About Black Women for Obama: Black Women for Obama is a professional grass-roots organization dedicated to doing all it can to ensure that Senator Barack Obama becomes the next President of the United States. Learn more about us at www.blackwomenforobama.org.
