Is marriage becoming a whites-only deal?

MONDAY 10/3/11- During the past half century, black Americans have become the most unmarried people in our nation. More than two out of every three black women are unmarried, and they are more than twice as likely as white women never to marry. The racial gap in marriage extends beyond the poor. Affluent and college educated blacks are also less likely to marry or stay married than their white counterparts. In his book, Stanford law professor Ralph Richard Banks has combined scholarly data with the poignant stories and frustrations shared by black women throughout the nation.

Terrorist death (part 2)




MP3 File

Was terrorist death an "assassination?"

FRIDAY 9/30/11- For most Americans, the death of a terrorist leader bent on killing fellow U.S. citizens is considered a very good thing. However, presidential candidate Ron Paul is condemning the action because the terrorist was also an American citizen, and he is calling the death an "assassination." Al-Awlaki, the man described as the bin Laden of the Internet, has been associated with a number of plots, including the failed Underwear-Christmas Day bomber, and the mail bombs plot last October. He is also linked to the Time Square bomber and the Ft. Hood shooting attacks. Does Congressman Paul have a valid point?
