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's supporters use his website to read and respond to his frequent blog posts, updates and personal messages. Although comments on the page range from extreme praise to outright criticism, one person has caused a flood of angry posts within the Perry community: Kim Kardashian. The filmmaker's fans have taken to the site saying they will boycott his new movie "The Marriage Counselor" if he follows through w...

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 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.
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. ESPN's Rachel Nichols...

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.


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?
In the mid 1980s, Bill Cosby's highly popular television program, A Different World and Spike Lee's influential film School Daze promoted a complimentary image of black colleges and universities as rigorous institutions of higher learning where black students could be free to pursue the fruits of a college education in a welcoming and nurturing environment among people with the same cultural background and values.
