Why Do HBCU Grads Earn Less Money Than Their Counterparts at White Universities?

Excellent piece by Dr. Boyce Watkins. Is it a lack of “positive advertising” to the mainstream, especially corporate recruiters? Is it a lack of knowledge, support, pride and promotion by our own community? Is it just another example of the institutionalized racism of the United States? Is it all the above and much more? The one fact is that the quality of education from a HBCU in many respects is superior than the education gained from the majority schools.

What would Omar Little say about this?

HBO’s critically accalimed series The Wire (one of my favorite hours of television ever!!) has been taught at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government and now, has gotten reconceived as a Victorian novel. Written by Joy DeLyria and Sean Michael Robinson, this essay is just as deliciously brilliant and creative as David Simon’s original.

Internet Entrepreneur Bypasses High-Tech For Low-Priced With FreePhone2Phone

This is a really interesting concept. Long distance is a loss leader for telephone companies and most calls are under 10 minutes. So, why not listen to a few ads before getting your call for free? This product would definitely attract immigrants to the USA who want to keep track of family and friends back home and those who may not have a broadband internet connection that supports VOIP.

Is this TOO Sexy for television?

This is the new commercial for the Nintendo Wii game Top Spin 4. Serena Williams is gorgeous in it and it definitely will appeal to the targeted market for gaming; men roughly 35 and over (according to the Entertainment Software Association). Don’t you think it would be a sales generator for 2K Sports if aired appropriately after 9PM,maybe? It seems 2K rejected this ad. What do you think?
