(news8austin.com) “…The African American Men and Boys Conference helps students find the information and mentors they need to succeed better in life. But it isn’t just aimed at young men. Organizers want to help single moms find support systems.

“If they’re looking for tutors for their kids, if they’re looking for mentors, as you can see, we have tons of men here today who are willing to step up to the plate. I’m just asking the single mothers to come and share whatever your concerns are because we have the men, we have the brothers in the house today,” organizer Michael Lofton said.” (more…)

Good for them! I just pray that these men stay consistent with these young men.

I was in the car today when I happened to catch this guy on the corner. Fortunately I had my video camera with me. The music is actually coming from the car next to me, so he was not dancing to the music that you hear (notice, he is wearing headphones).

There was another guy I saw earlier that was humping his sign. Yes, I said humping…and slapping it.

This is how you do it.

DALLAS — About a dozen residents of a Dallas neighborhood beat a man after reports that he had been showing pornographic pictures to children on a playground, police said…

When one of the mothers saw him and asked Burke what he was doing, he tried to run and the woman started screaming, said Elizabeth Williams, the mother of another child. According to a police report, Burke said about 15 men “jumped him and hit him repeatedly on the face with their fists.” He suffered minor injuries, police said. (more…)

Yes! This how you handle bidness. No sensitivity training, no “let’s understand why he did what he did”. They just toe dat (you know what) up!

 

First the news:

(chicagotribune.com) In an aggressive move to win over consumers that also threatens to shake up the $250 billion pharmaceutical business, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said Thursday that it plans to test the selling of many generic prescription drugs for the unusually low price of $4 per month…

Health care is also a politically charged issue for Wal-Mart, which has been criticized for not offering enough insurance to its employees. That prompted some analysts to question whether the company’s motive for promoting discounted generic drugs is tied to efforts to polish its corporate image…

The $4 price for a wide selection of drugs would be available to everyone, whether they have health insurance or not. (more…)

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. It never ceases to amaze me how Liberals will hammer Conservatives for not caring enough for the “underclass”. Then when they make a move like this, the suspicion INCREASES (Okay, why are they REALLY doing this?).

I think the biggest thing that pisses me off about this anti-Wal-Mart movement is that it is often lead by folks who can afford to pay higher prices at most grocery stores. Talk to most people in low-income areas (and middle class areas as well) and they will tell you that price and quality are what matters. My family was finally able to find a grocery store that met that criteria, but we have to drive a little over 20 miles to get there. Funny how you will never hear this scenario being repeated by those who claim to care for poor folks with no transportation. If we were to do our full grocery shopping at the grocery store down the street, for the same amount of groceries that we purchase at the other grocery store, we would walk out paying AT LEAST $100 over.

The few Wal-Marts that we have in our area are ALWAYS full of shoppers. Why? Because that is their choice. They choose to go for the better deal and get it. And guess what? There are more businesses STILL moving to the area. Read more »

From Consumer Reports:

“…after putting a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe FFV through an array of fuel economy, acceleration, and emissions tests, and interviewing more than 50 experts on ethanol fuel, CR determined that E85 will cost consumers more money than gasoline and that there are concerns about whether the government’s support of FFVs is really helping the U.S. achieve energy independence. Among our findings:

• The fuel economy of the Tahoe dropped 27 percent when running on E85 compared with gasoline, from an already low 14 mpg overall to 10 mpg (rounded to the nearest mpg). This is the lowest fuel mileage we’ve gotten from any vehicle in recent years.

• With the retail pump price of E85 averaging $2.91 per gallon in August, according to the Oil Price Information Service, which tracks petroleum and other fuel prices, a 27 percent fuel-economy penalty means drivers would have paid an average of $3.99 for the energy equivalent of a gallon of gasoline.

>From the Republican camp:

A national black Republican group is running a radio advertisement accusing Democrats of starting the Ku Klux Klan and saying the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican, a claim challenged by civil-rights researchers…

…The spot begins with one woman telling another, “Dr. King was a real man. You know he was a Republican.”

…In the ad, the woman goes on to say, “Democrats passed those black codes and Jim Crow laws. Democrats started the Ku Klux Klan.” Her companion replies, “The Klan? White hoods and sheets?” (more…)

Democrats were wrong to go here in the last elections and were called out for it.  Apparently some Republicans didn’t get the memo. Fortunately Steele distanced himself from this mess.

Anytime I hear someone state that “Islam is a peaceful religion”, something in me just does not get it. I mean, I think that it is safe to say here that most of the terrorist activity that is currently taking place today around the globe (intentional activity against civilians) is being committed by the hands of those that profess Islam as their religion. If a person in just about any Muslim-based country voices out opposition in any way, shape or form towards Islam, that person is oftentimes met with threats on his or her life–threats that are often carried out. Just recently, the Pope made a couple of critical remarks regarding Islam and its recent trend of violence around the world. The response? Rioting in the streets, images of the Pope being burned by angry mobs, the murder of a Catholic nun, and death threats on the Pope himself. In short, they did nothing but proved his point.

First the news:

Congresswoman Barbara Lee announced Saturday, September 16 new legislation she is proposing that would allow condoms to be distributed in prisons in an effort to prevent sexually transmitted infections…

…Lee welcomed the panelists and organizations present, and spoke about her two new pieces of HIV/AIDS legislation – H.R. 2553, the Responsible Education About Life Act, and the Stop STIs in Prisons Act.

H.R. 2553 will create a grant program that allows states (currently prohibited from receiving federal funding for sexual education and prevention programs that do not adhere to the Bush administration’s mandated abstinence-only-until-marriage doctrine) “to implement a comprehensive approach to sex education that includes information about both contraception and abstinence.”

The Stop STIs in Prisons Act will allow community organizations to distribute condoms in U.S. prisons, where the rates of HIV and hepatitis C infections are on the rise.(more…)

This is one of those few topics that I feel free to discuss here, but I know how raw (graphic) I can be with it. While I’m still thinking this one over, if you have an opinion please share.
