High flyer: RNC Chairman Steele suggested buying private jet with GOP funds |

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.”

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.

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.''"

The blackness of Mariah Carey « Abagond

The blackness of Mariah Carey « Abagond: "Mariah Carey has been one of the best-selling singers in America ever since her very first song, “Visions of Love”, in 1990."


This obsessive madness with classifying multiracials by race has to stop. I’m sick of people saying that is Black people who put her in a box while letting white people slide. The mainstream media has a habit of placing multiracial people as “Black” instead of multiracial. They’re the ones who are making a big deal out of her race.







Like I said, American society has long been obsessive with multiracials of partial African ancestry. They made a big deal over Tiger Woods, Derek Jeter, Lani Guinier, Barack Obama, Halle Berry, Leona Lewis, Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, the OJ trial, Tiger Woods scandal, etc.






Oh, and that comment about “what about the children” is code for black/noblack mixed people and the “threat” to mainstream America.
