The US is going to hell in a hand basket, replicating the denouement of England in the mid-twentieth century. Our tax structure, which rewards the rich and punishes the middle class, looks like something from a developing country, and our economic distribution is going to look like that soon, as well. While many are disappointed and outraged that the flawed S&amp;P felt they could involve themselves in the internal meat grinder of US politics by demanding a certain level of spending cuts, the bottom line is that our politicians were willing to take us to the brink on the debt ceiling, and this brinkmanship does not bode well for fiscal stability.</p> <p><a href="http://yourblackpolitics.wordpress.com/2011/08/09/dr-julianne-malveaux-sp-downgrade-is-beginning-of-the-end/#more-1058">Read more…</a></p> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5620772463898458836-7285216659942589360?l=yourblackpower.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Charles Smocknoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620772463898458836.post-47367134483387959042011-08-07T10:19:00.001-04:002011-08-07T10:19:01.251-04:00Fox News Calls President Obama’s Birthday Party a “Hip-Hop Barbecue that Didn’t Create Jobs”<p><img title="" alt="black politics, african american politics, hip hop barbecue" src="http://mit.zenfs.com/101/2011/08/fox-news-hip-hop.jpg" width="379" height="248" /></p> <p>by Dr. <a href="http://scholarshipinaction.blogspot.com">Boyce Watkins</a>, <a href="http://drboycewatkins.com/thesyracuseprofessor">Syracuse University</a> – <a href="http://scholarshipinaction.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Scholarship in Action</a>&#160;</p> <p>It appears that Fox News is at it again.&#160;&#160; The same network that has commentators like Eric Bolling, who asked why President Obama was &quot;inviting so many hoods to the hizzy&quot; referenced his 50th birthday party as a &quot;Hip-Hop Barbecue.&quot;&#160; </p> <p><a href="http://yourblackpolitics.wordpress.com/2011/08/07/fox-news-calls-president-obamas-birthday-party-a-hip-hop-barbecue-that-didnt-create-jobs/#more-1037" target="_blank">CLICK TO READ</a></p> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5620772463898458836-4736713448338795904?l=yourblackpower.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Charles Smocknoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620772463898458836.post-37126102748239209412011-08-07T09:53:00.001-04:002011-08-07T09:53:35.840-04:00Massive Rioting in London after Police Shooting<p><img title="" alt="mark duggan, london riots, black news" src="http://yourblackworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/mark_duggan.png" /></p> <p><a href="http://yourblackworld.com/2011/08/07/police-shooting-in-london-causes-riots-in-the-street/" target="_blank">CLICK TO READ</a></p> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5620772463898458836-3712610274823920941?l=yourblackpower.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Charles Smocknoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620772463898458836.post-1944604150781759372011-08-05T00:16:00.001-04:002011-08-05T00:16:54.836-04:00What to Make of Black Women Playing Maids and Other Stereotypes in Hollywood?<p><a href="http://blacknews3.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/thehelp.jpg"><img title="The Help" alt="Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer in &quot;The Help&quot;" src="http://blacknews3.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/thehelp.jpg?w=150&amp;h=100&amp;h=100" width="150" height="100" /></a></p> <p>by Renee Greene, <a href="http://yourblackworld.com/">Your Black World</a></p> <p>“The Help” opens in theaters August 10.</p> <p>In the midst of new millennium accusations of racism in Hollywood, and with the “underhiring” of blacks in the movie world for major A-list roles, it appears that black actresses can still find roles forged out of perpetually stereotypical characters.<em> The Help</em>, a best-selling novel-gone-silver-screen, is centered on the lives of Aibileen and Minny, two black maids living in Jackson, Mississippi in the 1960s.
