Racist Reporter Turns Law-Abiding Four Year Old Into a Thug
by Dr. Boyce Watkins, Syracuse University – Scholarship in Action
After a recent drive-by shooting involving two teens in Chicago, a CBS affiliate (WBBM) decided to engage in some good old fashioned racist black male stereotyping. The station interviewed a four year-old boy to ask him what he thought about the violence in the neighborhood, and ended up completely misrepresenting the child in the process.
Since Being Released from Prison, the Rapper Shyne Is Celibate and Using No Profanity
by Ayvaunn Penn, Your Black World
Music artist and ex-convict Shyne is apparently done sowing his wild oats. Perhaps it is better stated that when he tried to sow his wild oats, his crop failed horribly, so he decided to give it up. HipHopWiredreports, “After serving nearly 10 years in prison, the rapper was released in 2009, signed a new deal with Def Jam that didn’t start off so well, and was deported to Belize. Nowadays, Shyne who once made a living rhyming about sex, drugs and murder has decided to leave those lyrics in the past.” Providing further insight, TheJC.comreports:

Men May Soon Be Taking Birth Control Pills Too
By JasmineHughes
To date, “the pill” has represented a sort of victory for women’s rights, but the realities of taking a daily medication that is sometimes accompanied by an expense and unpleasant side effects may make it more of a burden for women than a reproductive equalizer. And so comes male birth control, which, researchers say, might finally help men and women to take on life’s responsibilities together in about 10 years.

Prisons: America’s New System of Slavery
by Rania Khalek
There is one group of American workers so disenfranchised that corporations are able to get away with paying them wages that rival those of third-world sweatshops. These laborers have been legally stripped of their political, economic and social rights and ultimately relegated to second-class citizens. They are banned from unionizing, violently silenced from speaking out and forced to work for little to no wages. This marginalization renders them practically invisible, as they are kept hidden from society with no available recourse to improve their circumstances or change their plight.

by Ayvaunn Penn, Your Black World
Jimmell Cannon, 13, was shot 8 times in the shoulders, hand, and leg by Chicago Police on Monday in West Humboldt Park neighborhood. While he is at Stroger Hospital in serious-to-critical condition, his family is looking for answers. The way they saw the events unfold is not the same thing Chicago Police report.
According to NBC Chicago, “Chicago Police say a 13-year-old boy was pointing a weapon at officers when they were forced to shoot him….but the teen’s family said Jimmell Cannon wasn’t holding a gun and that his hands were up in the air when shots were fired.” Cannon’s family says that they were at a birthday party for a cousin when the shooting took place. NBC Chicago reports in more detail:

Dr. Boyce: Add the Caddie to the List of People Seeking to Destroy Mr. Woods
by Dr. Boyce Watkins, Syracuse University – Scholarship in Action
It appears that Tiger Woods’ wife is not the only person who has a bone to pick with him. Tiger’s former caddy, Steve Williams, is planning to write a tell-all book about his life with Woods, and some expect that it’s not going to be pretty. After serving by Tiger’s side for 12 years, Williams was fired recently, and doesn’t appear to be happy about it. As a result, Williams is already letting the drama fly like a golf ball into a breezy summer day.
Williams has mentioned that one of the chapters of his book will be all about Woods and their relationship. Of course, this is the chapter that got him the book deal, and the one that everyone is to see.

Death of the Auto-Coon: Intelligent Black People are Dangerous
Dangerous Negro, a company founded by black male graduates of some of the nation’s leading business schools (Harvard for one), stands against the notion that black men and black women are meant to be ignorant, club-hoppin, bottle-poppin, gun-tottin, shucking and jiving buffoons. Our greatest destiny is not to relegate ourselves for the entertainment of others, but to instead seek a purpose that is worthy of the greatness and beauty of being black.
