Cuando intentamos ocultar nuestros impulsos mas secretos, todo nuestro ser expresa a voz en grito la traicion. When we intend on concealing our most secret impulses, our entire being screams betrayal.

The typical Latino - black or white - here in the United States will more than likely say that racism is not a major factor back home in theirpatria natal; that for the most part, they have achieved relative peace and harmony. And they are correct for the most part, BUT ONLY BECAUSE THEY DON'T ALLOW FOR SUCH A TOPIC TO EVER SURFACE. And much to thechagrin of their black populations, who've been heavily oppressed over the generations, they have all but capitulated.

So far in this economic downturn, blacks have lost the most regarding actual property holdings. While the jury is still out in estimating precise figures, a general consensus has already been reached; we blacks have lost some two-thirds of all equity nation-wide. You may have heard this expression before: When America sneezes, Blacks get the flu.
Some of you may begin to realize that Multiculturalism, like the unicorn - a mythological beast, serves only to tickle the imagination that one ma...

One of Nigeria's premiere actressesOmoni Oboli (On the left in Pink) was offered a lead role in some big budget Hollywood film about Africa in which she was to receive half a million US$ dollars, but then rejected it because of nudity. Apparently some things just aren't for sale...like Dignity! Not to mention, having the image of an entire country riding on your shoulders was also a pretty significant component weighing in on the matter - to be sure. She's done us proud.
En aras de continuidad, me encargo yo de efectuar algunas indagaciones acerca de los centenares de miles de negros latinos ausentes en los medios de communicacion cuando se trata de la imagen típica y positiva del latino.

And while this website may lack some artistic fl...

In preparation for a much greater work ahead, I was doing some research
and came across a very interesting article denoting the rising tensions
between blacks and Latinos. The Rainbow Coalition Evaporates, is the centerpiece article for this blog entry located in the archives
for easy downloading.
I've noticed that many Latinos prefer to
gloss over the fact that their presence has indeed contributed to
the complexity of inter-race-relations all around; and not necessarily
for the better. S...
