Why Boycott Perry?

First of all, it is HIS movie. He can cast whomever he feels will fit the part. Maybe he just wanted someone to stand there and look pretty. THAT is Kim K's specialty.­.. Come one Black Folk... all of the things we could be boycotting and shutting down, and we choose a Tyler Perry movie. Really? You shut him down, and there goes black film... Sad, but true.

Tyler Perry Fans Want Kim Kardashian Canned From New Movie 'The Marriage Counselor'

Tyler Perry's supporters use his website to read and respond to his frequent blog posts, updates and personal messages.

Ann Coulter: 'Our Blacks are Better than Theirs...'

WoooW... Not just a story title, she REALLY said that. As if there is a competition among "white folks" as to who has the best "blacks". Her logic is so circular though, and contains so much half-truth, that you almost fall into it.... and then she says it... "that's why our Blacks are so much better than theirs..." Reminiscent of 19th century slavery games. Whose colored can chuck wood the farthest.

Ann Coulter On Herman Cain: 'Our Blacks Are So Much Better Than Their Blacks' (VIDEO)

www.huffingtonpost.com

Ann Coulter continued the conservative criticism of Politico for its article on Herman Cain during an appearance on Monday's "Hannity." Politico drew swift right-wing fire for its Sunday article on Cain, which alleged that two female employees had accused him of sexual harassment in the 1990s.

T.O.'s Comeback?

He didn't look great, but with age comes football intelligence. There will be a team that offers him a deal, but most likely not of the caliber he desires. The question is will he play for them and will he accept the money offered, what little it may be.

Terrell Owens Workout: No NFL Scouts Show Up (VIDEO)

In early October, Terrell Owens announced that he would be ready to return to the NFL in a month or less. True to his word, he does appear to be ready. But is he wanted? It sure doesn't seem like it. On Tuesday, Owens' agent Drew Rosenhaus orchestrated together a personal workout for the 37-year-old wide receiver at a high school outside of Los Angeles. The NFL Network was there to cover it.

Anthony Conner Broken Neck: Injury Suffered

I hate to say it, but this video should be used when teaching proper tackling technique. I hope that he fully recovers, but this was horrible tackling form. Exactly what happens, when you try to make a highlight instead of a stop. Coaches take heed.

Anthony Conner Broken Neck: Injury Suffered By Louisville CB Described As Broken Neck By Coach (VIDEO)

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Louisville coach Charlie Strong says cornerback Anthony Conner broke his neck when his head hit the knee of Rutgers receiver Mohamed Sanu but he isn't paralyzed. Conner was carted off the field Friday night after going down on the first play of the second quarter, and team officials said a few minutes later that the senior was conscious with feeling in his extremities.

Carson Palmer: Raider Blunder or Blast-off

Unfortunat­ely, all that this transactio­n did was prove just how valuable having a GM is. When Al Davis passed I think we all assumed that about 6 jobs would open up in the Raider organizati­on, including the GM job. But with Jason Campbell's injury, everyone went into panic mode and Coach Jackson stepped up with the Palmer deal. Big time risk and a big time threat to team chemistry once Campbell comes back next year. Unless Carson can take the team deep into the playoffs, this will prove to be one of the biggest blunders in Raider history.

HBCU Blues: America's Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the 21st Century

What makes "great universities" great is a continued effort towards improvement by the faculty, students, and alumni. Perhaps the issue that HBCUs face is the fact that this is lacking. How many students in high school even know that there are 105 HBCUs? How many know that Howard and Fisk were once talked about in the same breath as Harvard and Yale? The key, as in all things, is the education of the community as to the various opportunities available regarding colleges.

Just as a point of thought for everyone, how helpful to HBCUs would it be if the states that they reside in took them on as "state" schools?

HBCU Blues: America's Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the 21st Century

Celeb Pays It Forward, Correctly

This is beautiful. I wish more people to whom much was given would pay it back to our youth. The only jobs that will be created will be jobs that innovation­s in technology create.

M.I.A. Releases '27,' In Honor Of Amy Winehouse, Those Who Died At 27

     http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/07/24/mia-releases-27_n_907967.html


Dear Media -

 Before we continue to compare Ms. Winehouse with the likes of Hendrix, Cobain, Joplin, Basquiat, etc etc... Please list or note the comparable body of work. You cannot, because it does not exist. "Fade to Black" is no "Nevermind". STOP comparing her to legends. It is sad that the best thing writers have to say about this woman is that she died at age 27, and is now a part of some illustriou­s club. She was good, soulful artist who had the potential to be great, had she been able to overcome her demons. That's it. Period.

Thank you,

This is exactly what happens when lawmakers continue to allow imported products. It's common sense. If we import items into this country or export jobs out of it, the reason is that it is cheaper.
