		<description><![CDATA[  &#8220;We are on the right side of history! We are on the side of individual freedoms and liberties and, dammit, we will reclaim the civil rights moment. We will take that movement &#8212; because we were the people who did it in the first place.&#8221; -  Glenn Beck, May 26, 2010 &#8220;When you start [...]]]></description>

		<title>The &#8220;N&#8221; Word; Can We Please Get Over It?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Popular talk radio host  Laura Schlessinger, better known as Dr. Laura,  recently created a firestorm with an &#8220;N&#8221; word laced tirade  during a call with a listener.  The listener was an African American woman who is in a  interracial marriage and wanted to know how to deal with racial slurs and comments, some including the &#8220;N&#8221; word,  directed at her by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Crack</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There has been a decade long  fight to reduce the disparity in penalties for the use of crack and powder cocaine.   It cannot be denied that sentencing involving the possession of crack cocaine  has been historically more severe  than the penalty for possessing powder cocaine,   but shouldn&#8217;t it be? I wonder if the people who live in neighborhoods [...]]]></description>

		<title>Success Revisited</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a previous post entitled &#8220;In Success I will not Stray&#8221; I received a lot of  criticism for statements made regarding African Americans leaving urban Dallas  for the comfort of the suburbs.  Some felt that I was being hypocritical because I personally don&#8217;t live in the neighborhood I referenced.  The criticism didn&#8217;t bother or surprise [...]]]></description>

		<title>Angry Black Man</title>

		<title>Memorial Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[God-fearing, hard working, independent, opinionated, passionate, outspoken&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.Those are just a few of the words I can think of to describe my mom,  Etta Nell Hubbard.  The strongest, most loving and caring woman I&#8217;ve ever known.  She worked as a Scrub Nurse at Parkland Memorial Hospital for over 40 years, but that&#8217;s only  what she did.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>In success, I will not stray&#8230;..</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You don&#8217;t have to look  far to see successful people &#8220;stray&#8221;.   Tiger Woods, Kwame Kilpatrick, Don Hill, Rod Blagojevich and the list goes on and on.  It&#8217;s not hard to identify moral and ethical failures of others, but today&#8217;s excerpt from the St. Philip&#8217;s Creed goes deeper than that. In today’s society success has become  synonymous [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;If it is to be, it&#8217;s up to me&#8230;.&#8221;.  A simple yet profound statement. These words are about assuming personal responsibility for our circumstances.  They suggest that with God&#8217;s help we can make a difference.  They implore us to shed the victim mentality.  They should motivate us to do something.
