		<title>Cheater Family Values</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When Marianne Gingrich, the second wife of GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich, went public with allegations that Gingrich asked her for an &#8220;open marriage&#8221; and had a long-term affair with the former Callista Bisek, the woman who is now Gingrich&#8217;s third wife, I thought of Steve Harvey&#8217;s ex-wife, Mary Harvey. Last year, Mary Harvey posted [...]]]></description>

		<title>Twitter Relationship Gurus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s well-known that pretty much anyone with a Twitter account can call themselves a relationship expert these days. A lot of this advice is written by men, and directed at women. Men seem to think women would be better off if only we understood how they work, and modified our behavior accordingly. Shockingly, women refuse [...]]]></description>

		<title>Red Tails – A Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, I lied. This is not going to be a review of the George Lucas-produced film &#8220;Red Tails.&#8221; Lucas&#8217; brilliant marketing campaign has essentially rendered this movie review-proof. If you say anything negative about &#8220;Red Tails&#8221; &#8211; especially if you&#8217;re black &#8211; you are a hater who never wants to see decent films about the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Obama Sings; Ask Carolyn</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had the pleasure of attending a fundraiser for President Obama at the Apollo Theater in New York City last night. The above tape of the President singing a bit of Al Green&#8217;s &#8220;Let&#8217;s Stay Together&#8221; is making the Internet rounds. The moment occurred while the President was thanking the evening&#8217;s performers, Rev. Green and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another Way to Look at Food Stamps?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Disclaimer: I am not a statistician. I welcome those who are to challenge both the statistics I cite and my analysis of them. The federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP (still referred to as the &#8220;food stamp program&#8221; despite the fact that it covers more than food stamps) has swelled to nearly 45 million participants, at a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Red Tails</title>
		<description><![CDATA[George Lucas’ new film “Red Tails” tells the story of the Tuskegee Airmen who fought alongside U.S. bomber pilots in World War II. On press tours for the film, Lucas has candidly spoken of his 23-year struggle to get this film into theaters, the result of Hollywood’s reluctance to finance and distribute films with all-black [...]]]></description>

		<title>2011 Year In Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[WordPress helpfully produces an annual report that shows statistics such as most popular post by page views, most popular post by comments, etc. If one measures success by statistics, 2011 was a successful year for me and this blog. For instance, in December 2011, my blog was viewed more than 12,000 times. For some bloggers, that&#8217;s a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Worse For Poor Black Kids Than Gene Marks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few days after the furor over Gene Marks&#8217; &#8220;If I Was a Poor Black Kid&#8221; article died down, Forbes quietly published an article by one of its education contributors, James Marshall Crotty. The article, &#8220;Four Things I Learned From Coaching Poor Black Kids,&#8221; claimed to discuss the &#8220;human problem&#8221; behind the educational challenges faced by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Alicia Keys Is Not African</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wrote this post shortly after I returned from South Africa earlier this year, but didn&#8217;t post it. Although it is not specifically about Kwanzaa, I felt it was relevant in light of the ongoing debate about the relevance of Kwanzaa. I rolled my eyes at Alicia Keys’ “I Am African” campaign when I first [...]]]></description>

		<title>Out of Africa</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I didn’t grow up with a strong sense of African pride – or even a weak sense. My parents were of the generation where “colored” and “Negro” were still cool terms to use for black people. They didn’t shrink from our heritage as descendants of African slaves – but they were more embarrassed by than [...]]]></description>
