| The new NAACP Report Card for the first session of the 112th Congress is out and it shows that every graded Republican member of the House and Senate received an F on issues considered important to the nation’s oldest civil rights group. In the Senate, all 46 GOP senators received Fs from NAACP. Of those, 34 voted against the NAACP’s position every time, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and former presidential candidate John McCain. In the House, all 238 Republicans graded also received Fs. Although GOP House members have a reputation but being more conservative than their Senate colleagues,... |

Invisible Men (Black Republicans)

| Black Republicans for the most part have been conspicuously absent so far during the 2012 Presidential Primary Sweepstakes. But, in fairness Black members of the GOP in general have perhaps been more scarce than usual in 2012 for the same reason the party’s conservative base has dragged its collective feet in embracing Willard Romney the presumptive nominee; they’re just not that into him. But, regardless of their reticence, there is an election this November and Romney and the GOP clearly need all hands on deck if they want to take back the White House. So, where are the Black Republicans?... |
"Black and Missing" in the GOP

| As the Republican presidential campaign trail ensues, there is something obviously missing from GOP campaign activities and primaries—Black people. A look at last month’s GOP presidential primaries reveals that older Whites dominated the electorate. According to an analysis by the National Journal, 89 percent of voters in Arizona were White, while Blacks represented just 1 percent. Meanwhile, Hispanics made up about 8 percent of the vote. The findings are a stark increase compared to the numbers found in the same state during the 2008 general election. That year, 75 percent of voters were White, while 4 percent were Black and... |

| Is it possible to hide weapons in your hair? The Transportation Security Administration thinks so. Dallas resident Isis Brantley said she was stopped on Monday at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta after she went through security. Brantley said an agent asked her if someone had checked her hair. She said no one had and continued on her way. She then heard someone yelling as she went down the escalator to catch her flight. "I just heard these voices saying, 'Hey you, hey you, ma'am, stop. Stop -- the lady with the hair, you," she said. Two TSA agents told her... |

Did McKinney's Afro Confuse Police?

| Today the U.S. Capitol Police asked for an arrest warrant for Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D.-Ga.) for assaulting a police officer who failed to recognize her as a member of Congress. But the larger question might be: Are the Capitol Police at fault for not recognizing her? McKinney, whose hair is usually styled in braids, wore a traditional “afro” that day and was not wearing her lapel pin that identifies her as one of the 535 members of Congress. When she attempted to sidestep a metal detector, as members are permitted to do, she was asked three times by a police... |

"Just as many fans wear Afro wigs to the games, we wore them to salute the player... |

The posters were removed by administrators because they... |
Sharpton for President!

| Sharpton for President’. That’s what the banners across Black America and beyond will be saying as the flamboyant and charismatic Rev Al Sharpton signals his intention to run for President of the United States. Sharpton is under no illusion of the enormous task ahead, but like other Black activists that have gone before him such as Ron Brown and Rev Jesse Jackson he knows that his presence in the presidential race will at the very least raise the profile of the Black vote and the issues of Black people. I met up with Rev Sharpton almost a year ago in... |
