Madame on the Street: Who Enjoys Sex More? Men or Women?


It’s an old question. The answer may seem simple at first but if you think about it for a second longer, you’ll realize it’s not so cut and dry. We caught up with some folks in Harlem to ask them this tricky question.  Check it out.

Will the ‘Baby Daddy’ Study Bring More Drama for Black Women?


A University of Michigan study found that the number of women who are having children by multiple partners is increasing in America. For American women who had two or more children, 28 percent of them had done so with more than one man.

For African American women the number rose to 58 percent.

Some believe the survey will serve as further ammunition for the media to attack black women. Avis Jones-DeWeever, executive director of the National Council of Negro Women had this to say:

I have a lot of respect for the University of Michigan, and as a researcher myself, I certainly don’t want to discount the value of research,” Jones-DeWeever explained. “What I am concerned about is how it’s going to be sensationalized in the media. I am concerned that this will be another way that this country will put a negative label on black women which, in this country, we have a long history of doing.”

What do you think, should black women come under scrutiny for these numbers?

Comparing Word Clouds From ‘Why We’re at War’ Speeches

via Daily Intel by Dan Amira on 3/29/11


Above is President Obama's speech on Libya as interpreted through the magic of the word cloud. (The size of the words correspond to the frequency with which they were used.) So what does it show us about Obama's priorities last night? You can see his emphasis on the multilateral nature of the effort in the words world, international, allies, and coalition. But people is the biggest word, due to the speech's (and the war's) humanitarian impetus. Notice which word isn't there? War. (Also absent, thankfully, was kinetic military action.)

How is this word cloud different than other presidential "why we're at war" speeches from recent history? How is it the same? Come. Let's take a look.

Though Qaddafi, Libya, and Libyan were all prominent in Obama's speech, in George W. Bush's Iraq speech on March 19, 2003, the name of the country in question, and its leader, barely register. Saddam Hussein was mentioned only twice.

In Bush's Afghanistan speech on October 7, 2001, one word in particular sticks out to us: patience. Not that he could have known, but considering that we're still in Afghanistan over nine years later, it probably should have been about five times larger, in retrospect.

Bill Clinton, in his Kosovo speech on March 24, 1999, was even more focused than Obama on making it clear we were working with Europe, allies, and NATO.

When Clinton addressed air strikes against Iraq on December 16, 1998, there wasn't much of a coalition to speak of (just the British), so Clinton spent most of his time on the justification part: Saddam and his weapons.

And justifying unilateral action was front and center once again in Clinton's address about the missile strikes against targets in Sudan and Afghanistan on August 20, 1998, which featured the words terrorism, terrorist, and bin Laden.
