        <description><![CDATA[From: the field negro Many of my melanin challenged friends dreaded the day that this would happen: The loss of a white majority in&nbsp;their&nbsp;beloved America. Some of you, of course, won't really care one way or another, and this news doesn't really faze you.&nbsp;To some of you, on the other hand, (like members&nbsp;of the tea party,the republican party, and&nbsp;viewers of FOX NEWS) this is really bad news."The United States has reached a historic tipping point -- with Latino, Asian,  mixed race and African American births constituting a majority of births for the  first time, the U.S. Census Bureau  reported Thursday.Minorities made up about 2 million, or 50.4%, of  the births in the 12-month period ending July 2011, enough to create the  milestone.

        <title><![CDATA[Do What You Need To Do]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[From: My Morning Ti Many of us are wise beyond our years. We always know what to do. We can counsel people through problems. We can offer sound suggestions to those who are confused. We read the news and shake our heads at the folly of others.Yet, when it comes to our own lives, many of us embody the "do as I say, not as I do" lifestyle. Despite our wide berth of knowledge, we can't seem to connect it with what we actually do with our own lives.I'll use myself as our example for the day: I know that I should be eating healthier and exercising. Yet, I still choose to eat the junk food and desserts while telling myself that I'm too "tired" to exercise today. (I'm too tired every day.) I know better than to act certain ways, and I still find myself engaging in thoughts or behavior that I know is displeasing to the Lord. (Thank God for forgiveness!) Even where my purpose is concerned, there are things that I know I should be doing to prepare and position myself, but I keep procrastinating about what I have to]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Anderson@Large I’ve spent most of my professional life in DC, where go-go music was created. Chuck Brown was the undisputed “Godfather of Go-Go.” The Washington Post reports the Godfather died yesterday at the age of 75. Longtime radio DJ Donnie Simpson told the Post: Chuck was like the Washington Monument. He was like Ben’s Chili Bowl. He was the big chair. He was all of that. Chuck Brown was Washington D.C.... People feel you when it’s genuine and Chuck was always that. I last saw the Godfather in 2010 when he played rocked Ben Franklin Parkway during Philly’s 4th of July celebration. The man is gone but his music will live on. Indeed, I feel like bustin’ loose.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: AverageBro.com It's 3 Play Thursday. Today: More athletes turned cRappers.Every rapper wants to be an athlete. Every athlete wants to be a rapper. Truer words have seldom been spoken, and blogged about ad nauseum. Here's a few new examples of what happens when worlds collide.Serena Williams - "I Win"TMZ supposedly unearthed this track last week. Serena allegedly was working on a demo awhile back, and some studio guy just found the track laying around and sent it in. She doesn't sound any worse than Nicki Minaj/Azalea Banks/whatever TI's white girl cRapper is named. Still, this single verse is hot garbage, made with club play in mind. The "I Win" soundbite, the lazy Supa Dupa "..and I'm always on top... roofer!") flow, and the numerous not-so-clever "ballin'" references all add up to a lousy song. Keep your day job, and stop dating rappers while you're at it.Steve Francis - "Finer Things"Francis has been out of the NBA for a few years now, and his last ditch effort to get money in China ended horribly]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Whatever Lola Wants That's what I think this tv show Undercover Boss is, corporate propaganda. &nbsp;Have you seen this show? &nbsp;Apparently it was started in England in 2009 then began a run on American television in 2010. &nbsp;The premise of the show is just as the title suggests: the president/ceo/cfo go undercover as a lower ranking employee in their own companies to see how it is to be an employee at this company and also see how their employees comport themselves. Up to speed now? &nbsp;Ok.This show just doesn't sit well with me at all. &nbsp;First of all, these presidents get to spin a little about their companies' achievements, their own background, you know, make them sound really good. &nbsp;Then they get to analyze their employees, secretly judging them based upon the presidents' limited interaction. &nbsp; &nbsp;This show is designed to get the viewers to sympathize with the presidents, the heads of successful companies in this faltering economy. But why the fcuk should we? &nbsp;I mean, th]]></description>

(Not even abused Negro women. NRA where are you?)&nbsp;In A-merry-ca, you Negroes are the threat. These laws were meant to protect certain people from you folks."A Florida judge on Monday ruled that an elderly black man charged in the shooting death of his neighbor can't use the Stand Your Ground defense, the second time in a week that the controversial law at the center of the Trayvon Martin case failed to provide cover to a defendant.Monday's ruling dealt with the manslaughter case against Trevor Dooley, who has admitted to shooting his neighbor, David James, in 2010 after a verbal dispute over a teenager's right to skateboard on a local basketball court turned physical. (James was defending the kid's right to skate, fwiw.)An ABC News affiliate in Tampa explains that Dooley—who had a conceal]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Acting White I always wondered why the sky, the ocean, and eyes, that are suppose to be pigment-less, are blue. Also, blue eyes seemed to be bluer if there are any significantly blue items nearby, especially including blue apparel on or near the person. I made this diagram to help explain something called the Tyndall Effect, named after 19th century physicist, John Tyndall."A blue iris in an eye is due to Tyndall scattering in a turbid layer in the iris. Brown and black irises have the same layer except with more melanin in it. The melanin absorbs light. In the absence of melanin, the layer is translucent (i.e., the light passing through is randomly and diffusely scattered) and a noticeable portion of the light that enters this turbid layer re-emerges via a scattered path. That is, there is backscatter, the redirection of the lightwaves back out to the open air. Scattering takes place to a greater extent at the shorter wavelengths. The longer wavelengths tend to pass straight through the turbid lay]]></description>
