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.

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. No, this is not a passage from George Orwell's 1984...

Controversial Author Launches Online African American Health Community
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 29, 2008 -- Makeisha Lee, a health columnist and nutritional advisor in the field of alternative health, has launched a massive movement encouraging the African American community to get involved and take control over their personal health affairs.
She is best known as the author of the controversial book entitled, "Why Black People Can't Lose Weight". Written with a Bill Cosby style of writing, the book addresses common lies and misconceptions within the African American community about weight loss and obesity.
Most recently, she has launched a new web site, BlackHealth.org - the first ever social network pertaining to Black health. Free to join, the site allows health conscious individuals to interact with each other to discuss relevant issues that affect African Americans. Users can read and post news, blogs, videos and more.
Lee comments, "People are looking for authentic health solutions and when they find something that works for them, they also want the sense of community to keep them accountable. BlackHealth.org is the forum for which they can accomplish this."
In addition to authoring publications and health columns, Lee also provides a service called Cleanse Formula (www.cleanseformula.com), which delivers a powerful and efficient health program tailored to suit individuals' needs. She is available to speak on a wide range of topics, as well as teaching the African American community how to create wealth from investing in their health.
For more details, interested ones can contact her at (614) 595-1425 or makeisha @ cleanseformula.com
