President Obama Just Lost The Election

ddavis36 — Wed, 16 May 2012 04:24:53 +0000

Since President Obama has announced that he is supporting gay marriage, many citizens have criticized his decision and said it was a bad idea. Rumor has it that President Obama may have just lost his chance of winning the approval of the southern states. Some who have voted for him before also said they may not vote for him again in the next election. And even thought we live in a country that stands for equal rights for all, many believe that the right to marry should only apply to a man and a woman. So is President Obama right for standing up for the gay and lesbian community to have equal rights, or did he make a mistake that may just cost him the election?

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida A&M University’s famed marching band is being suspended for at least one more school year as officials try to cleanse the hazing culture that led to the death of a drum major, the school’s president said Monday.

FAMU President James Ammons said the Marching 100 should stay off the field at least until a new band director is hired and new rules for the band have been adopted.

Eleven FAMU band members face felony charges in the November hazing death of Robert Champion, while two others face misdemeanor counts. The band has been banned from performing since soon after he died, and band director Julian White recently retired after it was revealed that at least 100 band members were not students when Champion died.

Too Much Truth Recap: Black Women Are Fat Because They Want To Be

dbtalk — Tue, 08 May 2012 23:05:40 +0000

What a great discussion today!! In a recent article from Eurweb.com,

Randall notes that FOUR out of five black women are seriously overweight. And one out of four middle-aged black women has diabetes.

She thinks what’s really needed is a body-culture revolution in black America. Why? Because too many experts who are involved in the discussion of obesity don’t understand something crucial about black women and fat: many black women are fat because we want to be.

We had many opinions on this subject; some funny and some very serious. Click the audio link to hear the conversation…

The law enforcement officers expected to confront a phalanx of Occupy Atlanta activists who had been camped out in Frazer’s front yard since early March to try and save the foreclosed Wellhaun Road home. But only one protester was on site Wednesday morning, overwhelmed by the show of force a DeKalb sheriff’s office spokesman said was brought in to ensure the eviction of four generations of Frazers was carried out “safely.”
