Politics, News & Issues > People in the News Controversial radio host Don Imus: Should he be fired for his remarks?
4 of 110

The Controversy with Don Imus was great because it raised some important issues. People are quick to talk about hip hop and blame the rappers, but lets be real, the females in these rap videos allow themselves to be oppressed, disrespected, and treated like objects. If you let a rapper slide a credit card through the crack of... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues The current issues surrounding gay marriage
11 of 39

It is simple: if you were a parent and loved your child with all your heart, how would you want them to be treated if they happened to be gay? Would you want them to be able to commit to the person they love? To be able to receive benefits from their life long partner? To be able to take care of the family if there loved one ... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Justice System Justice for Duke lacrosse accuser may be found other than in the courtroom
2 of 4

Recently at Duke University, members of the lacrosse team were accused of rape by an African American stripper. This accusation has ignited and shed light on many of the racial problems in not only Durham, but America. I have come to the realization that this case brings back the same knee jerk reactions that many people had ... More..

Entertainment > Celebrity Commentary Alec Baldwin: Is he right or wrong in his parent role
16 of 29

There are very few parents in the world who haven't said something to their child that they deeply regret, they have just had the fortune of not having it nationally televised. I can remember when I may parents have said things out of sheer anger that they didn't mean, everybody is human and will make mistakes. It is not our ... More..

Politics, News & Issues > US Elections (Other) Is America ready for a black president?
47 of 66

I like Obama, I know he is charismatic and very young, but I like that he has values and doesn't stray from them. I think this election will really paint a picture of the type of America we have. We have already shown complete stupidity by allowing Bush to steal office the first time around and voting him in the second. I fin... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Police & Prisons Police abuse: Holding the police responsible for their actions
42 of 56

How much more police brutality do we need to have? How many more unarmed black men need to be shot 50 times before all Americans, not just black Americans, stand up and demand a change. Even today, with cases that are on film, or obvious malpractice with excessive shooting on an unarmed black man (note: the unarmed man that p... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Racial inequality or oppression: Do they truly exist in today's society?
39 of 50

Although some white people earn their ranks, a lot of achievement in their community is based on favoritism rather then meritocracy. There is a quote stating that "George Bush was born on third base, but believes he hit a triple", this quote symbolizes the mentality of white America. Although it is tough to swallow, you just ...

Politics, News & Issues > Politics, News & Issues (Other) Unforgettable and unforgivable nation leaders
55 of 64

Honestly, this title is very befitting for or national leaders. There is a man in office, in charge of America, who is incapable of making honest, just, logical, and virtuous decisions. We are still at war and Bush is too stubborn to work with congress and senate to figure out a way to fund our troops overseas and also preven... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Death Penalty Assessing the death penalty
127 of 139

Due to the way society portrays white crime versus black crime, blacks are more likely to be arrested, got to jail, get longer/harsher prison terms, etc. the stereotypes that people, not only in society have, but also at the highest level of our justice system has, perpetuates this deadly cycle for men of color. It is very di... More..

The media is a direct reflection of what we care aobut. Forget about the soliders in iraq dying every day, lets talk about American Idol. Honestly, who cares about Sanjaya, Anna Nicole Smith, Don Imus?!? People, we need to wake up, this is ridicoulous. Where is the uproar about the Bush regime and his destruction of America? ...
