A sad story where a young African-American male teen was beaten up because he was dating a white female teen. A 17-year-old African-American teen was beaten during a hate crime in Chicago in late December 2011, area police are now reporting. The victim, Joshua Merritt, a senior at Brother Rice High School, was attacked by three white teenage boys who attend the same institution. The assault was

Basketball players of Buffalo high school team have been suspended because of an odd racial slur ritual the team uses before games. Apparently the team would huddle around before the game and yell "One, two, three [N-word]!" As the Buffalo News article reports, there is only one African-American player on the team, named Tyra Batts, and she didn't like this and tried to get them to not use it but

Tiger Woods ex-caddie Steve Williams recently had a racist remark regarding Tiger Woods. What happened earlier this week in China was flat out gunfire, and it came at the hands of Williams.

I haven't heard anything about this story since it was first reported, but in August there was an incident where apparently 500 African American kids attacked random white people at the Wisconsin State Fair.

I don't know what it is, oh wait yes I do, but it's like almost everyday now someone in congress is speaking in public calling the President of the US a racial slur. Colorado Republican Congressman Doug Lamborn recently told a Denver radio show host, "I don't even want to have to be associated with [Obama]. It's like touching a 'tar baby.'" Shouldn't this guy be fired from his job in congress?

A man moved to Houston and at his new home he is facing racism where the security guards will not let in any non-whites. HOUSTON - David Williams thought moving to Houston from Boston would be a good idea. "For the most part, when we first moved in, everything was low key," Williams said. “Sometimes you see wandering eyes around the neighborhood." That neighborhood happens to be the Royal Oaks

Racist hate acts are still happening today... Two young white men assaulted and then killed a black man by driving into him with a pick-up truck in Mississippi's largest city, a prosecutor said yesterday. It's alleged that the pair, both 18, were looking for a black man to assault in Jackson, with one of them later bragging on the phone to a friend about killing 49-year-old father James Craig

Cadbury, owned by Kraft, has a new ad campaign in Europe that is comparing a chocolate bar to Naomi Campbell and she is taking action against it.

Something similar happened in Boston back in November of last year, and now over the weekend, a club named 4Play on Chippewa Street in Buffalo, New York was said to have "kicked out 40 to 50 members of a private party because the party contained too many African-Americans and not enough whites, according to two Buffalo party planners and a patron who witnessed the incident."

In November I posted about an incident about a club in Boston, Cure Lounge, was hosting a party for Harvard and Yale alums but they closed the club because there was a line of African Americans waiting to get in and someone from the club's management said to have seen "local gang bangers" outside. On Friday, Cure Lounge "issued a public apology and agreed to pay a $30,000 fine." The club will

On Saturday, well known ESPN writer Howard Bryant arrested on charges of assaulting his wife and was later released. I quoted some parts from an article (source linked to below), make sure to read and check out the article.

This incident is old, as it happened back in December 2008 but I wanted to post about it because it's just shocking and way over the line. I don't know where a teacher would get an idea to do this in a classroom.A white social studies teacher attempted to enliven a seventh-grade discussion of slavery by binding the hands and feet of two black girls, prompting outrage from one girl's mother and

If only more incidents could happen with Boston police, oh wait here's another story that includes the whole Professor Gates incident. Boston Police officer Justin Barrett sent a mass email to some National Guard members and the Boston Globe where he referred to Harvard professor Gates as "banana-eating" and a "bumbling jungle monkey".The columnist, Yvonne Abraham, supported Gates' actions,

Today President Obama said he chose unfortunate words when saying that police "acted stupidly" in arresting HarvardProfessor Gates at his own home.He stopped short of a public apology. But the president telephoned both Gates and the white officer who had arrested him, hoping to end the rancorous back-and-forth over what had transpired and what Obama had said about it. Trying to lighten the

Following up about the Harvard Professor Gates arrest, the cop who arrested Mr. Gates at his home has taught racial profiling classes for five years. Read more about it below.Cambridge Sgt.

So what do you think, was this racial profiling or not?Henry Louis "Skip" Gates, Jr., professor and director of the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Studies, was arrested on Thursday at his Cambridge home for disorderly conduct, according to a Cambridge Police Department report.The report, obtained from the Cambridge District Court, said that the 58-year-old professor was

Why do some still listen to what Rush Limbaugh says? I guess either you're like him and believe in the things he does, and/or you're a racist just like him. Wow what a complete loser that needs to just go away and shut his own mouth. This blog post on Jonathan Martin's blog on Politico.com sparked me to say the above. Some quotes from the post:The commercial, to air in Limbaugh's home state of

This is something I expected to happen at some time, which is sad, I know. The Secret Service is investigating two letters with Barack Obama threats.The letter sent to the party office reportedly expresses a wish that Obama "gets a bullet." The second to the unidentified Howell business owner includes racial slurs - preceded by a warning that the owner should "think hard about who you are trying

Now this is probably not even considered by most out there, but think about it. I didn't see it, but here's what happened Monday night on ESPN:After listening to a snippet of the Spanish-language broadcast of the game in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, Kornheiser said this:"I took high school Spanish, either he said he's not going to be caught, or please pick up my dry cleaning tomorrow."And

According to an article on StarTribune.com, a recent Washington Post-ABC news poll indicated that 3 in 10 Americans admit to race bias. The author then brings up the question what if 30% or more of corporate America admitted to having racial biases. Something to think about. Leave a comment of what you think about this article.

I found an interesting blog post I thought I would share on here. The blog post "Do Mothers Pass On Racism More than Fathers?" by By Melissa Lafsky talks about just what the blog post title says. It points out that from the poll they took from children, that "children's attitudes were strongly correlated with the perceived expectations and attitudes of the mothers but not the fathers."Children

On SportingNews.com, John Rawlings wrote a very interesting article named "Does race color discussion of bad athletes?"
