For years, he brought forth a policy known as colonization, in which slaves would be freed and then sent to live in Africa. In this way, both black and

White Privilege
After reading “White Privilege...”, it appears clear to me that there are many unforseen and inadequately acknowledged privileges that citizens of the majority enjoy, often at the expense of the minorities ‘under’ them. Unfortunately, I believe that there are too few remedies to offer for this problem in today’s society. We as a people often do not recognize the disparity in quality of life and equal opportunity amongst different races, and I believe this stems

Black Hawk Down
If only time travel were possible. That way we could go back to 1993 and hopefully correct the mistakes involved in the tragedy-laden raid in Somalia.

Someone could even send The Terminator back to kill Michael Bay, Final Countdown-style, thus preventing the cinematic catastrophe that was Pearl

Black Crisis
There is something tragically askew in the religious state of black Americans; namely, the near-failure of qualitative development in integrated and/or separate black middle-class churches and denominations. That same near-failure is of course evident in every mainstream Protestant denomination, black or white, whether the criteria be lack of growth or loss of adult membership, youth participation, trained clergy, theologically alert laity, or commitment to black ecumenism. But nowhere is this reality more poignant than

White Oleander: Book Vs. Movie
White Oleander: Book vs. Movie Like with most books that are made into movies, this was definitely a disappointment. I have always found that books can tell much better stories than what you see on screen, this was no different. The movie easily cut out very important parts of the story. The beginning of the book is so important because you really get the feel for the weird mother-daughter relationship between Astrid and her Mother.
