We know this because he said so!

And his lawyer really cleared things up by saying that Officer Barrett did not refer to Henry Louis Gates as a "jungle monkey" but said his "behavior" was like that of a jungle monkey!

Sixty years of Harlequin covers are on display at the Openhouse Gallery in NYC for another week. the exhibit marks the 60th anniversary of the publisher which, unbeknown to me, started out as pulp adventure fiction for men. over 100 original works of art are included along with commentary on how the covers reflect the changing societal roles and portrayal of women.

It’s unclear why, but this woman thought it would be a good idea to climb a fence and chill with the polar bears. During their feeding time. They proceeded to attack her.

It comes after a recent incident in which Chinese ships, including a Chinese navy vessel, confronted an unarmed U.S. Navy surveillance ship in the South China Sea in international waters. The confrontation prompted the United States to move a destroyer ship to the area to protect the surveillance vessel.

While the report does not discuss the incident, it notes the importance China puts on controlling its waterways and the surrounding territories because "China's economic and political power is contingent upon access to and use of the sea, and that a strong navy is required to safeguard such access."

The analysis also said that while much of China's capab

Alongside the NAACP, I think that we should establish a International Association for the Advancement of Dark-Complexioned People (IAADP). Dark-complexioned people are still marginalized in many places and amongst many cultures all over the world. Check out this post.
