The Daily Caller :According to two knowledgeable sources, Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele once raised the possibility of using party money to buy a private jet for his travel. “I know that … regular ongoing use of planes was something that was looked at,” says one person with direct knowledge. “I can’t speak to how serious those inquiries were.” Both sources say Steele considered purchasing a plane outright, or buying fractional ownership in one, through a company such as NetJets. Steele’s spokesman, Doug Heye, did not deny that such discussions took place, responding that the RNC never had a “plan” to buy a plane. “I don’t know what somebody might have discussed or might not have discussed.”Tuesday, March 30, 2010

Sofia Madonaldo's Controversial Mural at Times Square
This mural has been the subject of heated debates and controversy because it depicted Black and Afro-Latina women as being "immoral" and "loose". Black and Latina organizations had already protested against this mural, for they said it's disrepectful to women of Color in NYC. What say you? I'd like to hear from you.

Reflections of a “Racist” Father « Jewamongyou's Blog
This article is from a conservative.
Reflections of a “Racist” Father « Jewamongyou's Blog: "REFLECTIONS OF A “RACIST”
FATHER
By J.A.Y.
So I’ve earned the reputation of being “racist” and the enmity of those dearest to me. Why? Because I dared tell my daughter that I disapprove of her dating black men. Now, for 90% of you out there, this would seem to be a cut-and-dry case."

The Multiracial Activist - www.multiracial.com - Jill Scott: "In The Boston Globe, in a story published February 6, 2001, staff writer Vanessa E. Jones reported on the singer's attitudes on 'interracial' relationships:
When Scott launched into ''Do You Remember'' she squeezed every ounce of emotion out of the words. But she had some clarifications to make about this song, too.
No, it's not about seeing some old flame and reminiscing about love lost. Scott called it a pointed condemnation of ''brothers who have women and wives who look nothing like their mama.''
Not that Scott is against interracial romance, she went on to explain. She just suspects African-Americans may be doing it for the wrong reasons. ''You can't forget where you come from,'' she told the audience. ''Your skin will dictate how people treat you. Sorry.''"
