Op-ed submission by Project 21 With poverty at an all-time high, daunting black unemployment levels and Obamacare threatening black babies, black support for Barack Obama remains surprisingly strong. Why? Blacks are not uniformly as radical as Obama. So why do 91 percent of blacks still support him when only 79 percent of his Democrat constituency [...]

Federal Agency Thinks Background Checks Can Discriminate Against Blacks, Hispanics Op-ed submission by Project 21 Washington, D.C. – Attorneys at the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission believe new technology that makes it easier for employers to check the criminal and credit histories of applicants is also makes it harder for blacks and Hispanics to find jobs.

Op-ed submission by Project 21 Adam Smith, the 18th century philosopher/economist, articulated the “Diamond-Water Paradox”. While water is essential, Smith said, it has a relatively low transaction value. Conversely, and illogically, diamonds have a higher transaction value and little practical use to the average person. Examples can be found in the black community that parallel Smith’s theory. For [...]

Wise and thoughtful commentary by Elder Eddie Griffin. As an ambassador of good will and advocate of human rights, I always welcome the opportunity for peace and understanding between people, races, and nations.

Racism, or ”White Supremacy Ideology” as I like to refer to it as, is a syndrome that will never go away. Not in my lifetime at least… and I doubt very much in my son’s. It’s difficult enough combating the numerous legitimate cases of racism we face individually or as a community, whether blatant or systemic, that we don’t [...]

Excellent article at The Black Love Speak Column. Although I am sharing it here, I encourage comments to be made also at the original article.
