Martin Luther King Day

Some interesting sites dedicated to Black Americans, but eye-opening for others:

• On the exaggeration of "Acting White" and other issues
  
• On being a Black Republican and other issues
• "Mainstream" news
  
• Racial issues
• Islam and Blacks

There are many more, but the point is that when you read the articles on these sites, it is often easy to forget that you are at a "Black" site. Too often the focus of non-Blacks is on the lower socio-economic segment of Black America and they loose sight of the very large representation of Blacks whose interests are about the same as any other ethnic or racial group.

Then one realizes that, despite the statistical disparities, there is a large portion of Black America that has realized Rev. King's dream. That doesn't mean that other issues raised in this site are not valid... it means that they should be kept in a larger perspective.
