The Huffington Post is set to make an official announcement about the new platform Thursday.<br /><br />"Our goal is to cover more stories of importance to the black community," says Arianna Huffington, the co-founder and editor-in-chief of the New York-based Huffington Post.<br /><br />"We have the supreme irony of having the first African-American president, which is such a historic event and a milestone, while at the same time, <i>conditions for African-Americans are deteriorating, in terms of unemployment, in terms of high school graduation, in terms of the number of African-American males in prisons,"</i> Huffington says.<br /><br />GlobalBlack is the 27th section for the Huffington Post, but its first racially based one. It plans to soon launch a Latino section.<br /><br />A February 2010 survey by Edison Research and Arbitron found that about 25 percent of all Twitter users are black, roughly double the percentage of blacks in the U.S. population. About 11 percent of all U.S. Facebook users are black, the social-networking site reports.<br /><br />A greater percentage of whites than blacks and Latinos have broadband access at home, but laptop ownership is now about even for all these groups.<br /><br />"In all of this digital space, the African-American voice is really falling off the radar screen," says Johnson, who sold the Washington D.C.-based Black Entertainment Television to Viacom in 2000. "We're on other radar screens, with other digital sites, which is wonderful. But I really wanted to bring the real news, the storytelling — to really bring back the voice of the black community on some relevant news and views."<br /><br />"We're going to be able to fill that void," Johnson adds.<br /><br />-----------------------------<br /><br />My question is: how is adding a black section to THE HUFFING-ON-SOMETHING POST going to help lower the number of black men in prison, black students graduating, or the unemployment? Is there, perhaps, a correlation between black students dropping out of high school and college to the extraordinary high unemployment rate?<br /><br />And does anyone else but me see the supreme irony of having the first black president ("a historic event and a milestone") and creating an entire section of a news website strictly for black people? I mean, why not just create an entire section at the back of a bus for black people...or an entirely separate section of a restaurant for black people?<br /><br />How can you even begin to fight "racism" and "bigotry" and "prejudice" when you are having to create an entirely different section of news stories for black people because the major headlines of the day are apparently too boring or complicated for them to follow?<br /><br />Arianna Huffington's noble but misguided attempt to pander and placate a minority class by giving them something to call their own only reinforces my long-held belief that liberals (in this case Disingenuous Greek Liberals)are truly the ones who are most racist and bigoted. By continuing to lower the bar and pander to the 'soft bigotry of lowered expectations' for black people, she ensures her place in history as a woman who inadvertently keep the very people down she claimed to be trying to pull up.Percy Kittens Reloadednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890530692790573387.post-59314959764465871602011-01-20T12:11:42.597-08:002011-01-20T12:11:42.597-08:00I thought you were going to talk about actual home...I thought you were going to talk about actual home repair. Funny.<br /><br />Blacks in my neighborhood patch up their houses with mud and spit. They live in them until they fall down and then they move out. <br /><br />You will see old newspapers, superman bed sheets, old towels, and shredded mini blinds in the windows for curtains. You will find old toilets, broken plumbing, boards and debris in the yards. You will see blue tarps covering leaking roofs, crumbling chimneys, thick clear plastic stapled to windows in winter, falling gutters, moldy, mismatched, and dented siding, and add-on additions made from cinder blocks and plywood. Much like what you see in the Haiti footage. You will see leisurely blacks sitting all over the crumbling porches on a warm summer day. Pure squalor.<br /><br />I often wish that blacks possessed the white aesthetic vision. Our inner-cities and neighborhoods would be more habitable. <br /><br />So, back to the discussion of blacks and architecture and civic responsibility, and the many brilliant accomplishments of whites in these fields. We build it, they wreck it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890530692790573387.post-76848523766025156782011-01-20T07:17:25.120-08:002011-01-20T07:17:25.120-08:00Middle class is a value system.

I always thought he was fug; I much preferred Matt Lawrence.<br /><br />As a kid, I opted for realism in my white family-oriented sitcoms. Like The Torkelsons, which featured a single white mother living in Oklahoma, and Brotherly Love, which had the Lawrence brothers living motherless in Philadelphia. Or the dysfunctional All In The Family at late night, with the funny-as-hell white bigot, Archie.<br /><br />See, you obviously have no concept of the fact most black people are middle class. All of my black friends throughout high school, be they whitebread or urban, had fathers in the household and connected families. I'm several tic marks above middle class but I was raised by a single college-educated mother and our family's connectedness was always lax at best.<br /><br />What I'm saying is, Home Improvement-esque black families exist. It's not a white thing. The Cosbys are just as real as Good Times. And Roseanne is probably realer than Home Improvement for whites. Two-parent household, but definitely trashy with filthy homes...<br /><br />I mean, there was a reason 'Blue Collar TV' was in for several years, Larry the Cable Guy getting so much fanfare that they made a movie about him. He represents the Ev'ry(white)man, as I'm sure many of the SBPDL readers can confirm.Desireehttp://desireespeakssolisten.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890530692790573387.post-66708369985159412992011-01-19T20:29:39.008-08:002011-01-19T20:29:39.008-08:00What a great show that was ...What a great show that was ...White Guynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890530692790573387.post-38645509293181916492011-01-19T19:52:55.662-08:002011-01-19T19:52:55.662-08:00I seem to remember a few blacks scattered througho...I seem to remember a few blacks scattered throughout the cast of "Home Improvement," in peripheral roles, in a ratio close to that you see in "Roseanne." When Dan Connor bellied up to the bar or played poker, there were usually one or two blacks in his circle, in addition to that one white guy with the ZZ Top beard.<br /><br />But then again, maybe Tim Allen was a better fit for the motor city than some people might think. He did get caught trafficking cocaine in the 70s and spent some time in prison.Hirschnoreply@blogger.com
