When Did The African-American Community Die?

Is “Sorority Sisters” Good For The Black Community?
I watched the show and, I must admit, it is a ratchet display that I would rather not have on national television. But, it just blends in with the other reality T.V. shows that are popular now.

Shopping While Black: Connections In Racism
Prior to desegregation and before the riots, the African American community was just that in some urban areas. We lived together and we were buried together. We came off the plantations and landholding farms and were sequestered in the ghettos of America. African...
Tom Joyner, Bill Cosby & Queen Latifah: No One Is Untouchable
“Rob swears he’s bad because he’s tall and has a li’l bit of muscle on him. He definitely needs to get off that, because I’ve seen tons of big guys get knocked down to size here in Willowsfield. That really doesn’t matter.” – Aaliyah Anderson, from “The Diary Of...
