WTF Moment: MLK Strip Club Flyer Designer “Rains” On The Dream
0
Written by TheGrio on January 17,
2012
From NBC Miami: When Martin
Luther King Jr. said he had a dream, this likely wasn’t what he meant. A flyer
promoting a Miami strip club’s “I Have a Dream Bash” featuring MLK holding wads
of cash next to scantily-clad women has its creator taking plenty of flack.
Miami Beach graphic designer
Jeffrey Darnell Paul says he didn’t realize the flyer, made for The Office
strip club at 250 Northeast 183rd Street, would generate the controversy it
has.

Feature: Are Black Christians The New “House Negros?”
0
Written by Kirsten West Savali on
January 17, 2012
Let me preface this article by unequivocally
stating that this is not an attack on Christians. To paraphrase Dr. Maya
Angelou, “people will forget what you said, but they never forget how you made
them feel.” So, it is only in the spirit of intellectual debate and historical
examination — not Jesus bashing — that I ask the following question:
Are Black Christians the new
“house Negros?”
After re-listening to ancestor
Malcolm X’s (El Hajj Malik el-Shabazz) electric and enlightening message “The
House Negro and The Field Negro” (watch below) and having various discussions
on the topic, I have become increasingly convinced that the answer to that
question is yes. The only differentiating detail is that the new house does not
belong to the plantation owner but the opulent “House of the Lord.”

Happy Birthday, First Lady: 48 Reasons Why We Love You!
0
(Feature) Written by Ruth Manuel-Logan on
January 17, 2012
On Michelle Obama‘s 48th
birthday, NewsOne offers 48 reasons why we love her!
1) She is a great Mother. It is
evident that Mrs. Obama is a hands-on Mom to daughters Malia and Sasha. Responsible parenting is her credo, and
despite a grueling schedule, the mom-in-chief is a devoted nurturer who is
intent on keeping her children grounded.
2) She is a dedicated wife. Mrs.
Obama has been very vocal about the fact that she thinks her husband, Barack,
is a wonderful partner, husband, and father, “We’re each other’s best friends
and closest advisors,” she said during an interview with Babble.com.
The First Lady seems to be her
husband’s biggest supporter and often speaks out about what she thinks he
brings to this country. The Obamas are
openly affectionate toward each other and present a powerful example of what a
modern-day partnership between equals looks like.
3) She loves and respects
animals.
