Is Newsweek sexist?

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

The big question of late is all about Sarah Palin. Her book, if she will run in 2012, if she can win. And then there are the controversies. Newsweek really set things aflame with their cover of Mrs. Palin. And the claims of the cover photo being sexist and insulting have been raised. But are [...]

Black Conservatives on television

Monday, November 16th, 2009

I don’t know how many people saw this on Friday. I think it was very important. I think that there are far too few that pay attention to the other Black voice in the Black community.
