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.
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.

Modern African American Art and Artists

For many African American artists, the Southern region of the U.S. also represents a huge emphasis on the composition and subject of their work. There is a growing awareness of this unique form of expression and of the artists who create the works. For many years African American art has been tagged as crafts and seriously under appreciated.

BlackHistory.com Launches As The #1 Online Resource For African American History and Culture
Columbus, OH (PRWEB) January 11, 2008 -- Black History Month is fast approaching, and many local and national festivities are already in place. Two entrepreneurs, William Moss (founder of HBCU.com) and Dante Lee (founder of BlackNews.com), have come together to launch BlackHistory.com - the first web site of its kind.
BlackHistory.com is a 100% free online encyclopedia that features information, pictures and video content about African American accomplishments. It is divided into five major categories: people, places, events, terms and organizations.
The site is also a social networking platform that allows African American visitors to chronicle their own contributions to Black History and to connect in a way like never before. Members can interact with each other and post profiles, pictures, and even history-related content.
Moss comments, "BlackHistory.com is a valuable asset to students and professionals looking to conduct research, but also to advertisers who want to show their strong support for Black History month."
After generating millions in revenue from their network of web sites, Lee and Moss were able to acquire BlackHistory.com for an undisclosed amount in September 2007, and immediately began working to transform it into a valuable resource. They then formed a new company, Lee Moss Media, as an umbrella for the site.
"We expect BlackHistory.com to be very huge, attracting millions of visitors this year," says Lee. "This is bigger than anything we've ever done."
