I am proud to be part of organizations like the Connecticut Sun and the WNBA that put such emphasis on giving back to the communities and people that support them.

Unlike many rappers in hip-hop who are obvious industry pinheads just trying to cash into the bank, Kanye West knows more. Yet, that is perhaps the very problem: he knows more and yet does nothing to actually fix the problem.
Growing up in Tulsa, my dream was to play in the NBA. I am fortunate to have been able to achieve my dream, and now helping other kids follow their dreams has proven to be just as impactful on my life as every minute that I played in the NBA.
President Obama impeccably and eloquently made the connection between the role Morehouse has played in shaping today's world and the role it will play in shaping the future.
Truth be told, slurs are common around the water cooler, reflecting a dehumanizing view of criminal defendants that comes from years of locking them up, one person of color at a time.
After my sister died from breast cancer three years ago, I asked, during my mammogram, whether I should get tested for the breast cancer gene. I was warned that doing so, particularly if I tested positive for the gene, could mark me as an individual with a so-called pre-existing condition.
I'm honored Andrea Morehead could share some advice for other busy moms and her thoughts on early education.
Barack Obama visited Morehouse College on Sunday to give a refrain on the responsibility of Morehouse Men and black America to find dignity and progress in self-reliance, a refrain that has simultaneously proven exciting and excruciating for African Americans over the last four years.
I'd believed that I was headed for greatness, but they had revealed in me a thing that was seemingly so dirty, so disgusting that my other talents paled in comparison to the supposed vileness of being a practicing homosexual. And for this they bullied me right out of the church.
I was a 25-year-old documentary filmmaker from New York working on a show for MTV. He was a 21-year-old dancer in East Oakland trying to move on with his life after the murder of his little brother. I spent a year embedded in his life, and got a front row seat to an American epidemic.
Something is clearly wrong with our state when all the death sentences are coming out of one county. We are in a crisis when our state, which is 4.3 percent African-American, has a death row that is 100 percent African American. A broken system has produced flawed results.
I ask you, fans across America and around the world, to root for Memphis -- both the Grizzlies team and the city. Maybe a Grizzlies championship can provide just the "grits" this Southern city needs.
there's the almost ritual expectation by the public that second term presidents will be dogged by some scandal. This was the case with Eisenhower, Nixon, of course, Reagan, Clinton and George W. Bush. This shouldn't surprise.
The loneliness of that realization, that my daughter might have to shoulder the consequences of these stigmas, made me heartsick. I'd made myself believe she would only be challenged by her race and gender, not the basic ability to speak her mind.
On this 50th anniversary of the Birmingham Children's Crusade it is a time to remember, honor, and follow the example of the children who were frontline soldiers and transforming catalysts in America's greatest moral movement of the 20th century.
There is no way to make up for decades of discrimination that crippled the proud history of black farm ownership in this country. But we can do our best to move forward.
The first step to overcoming an addiction is admitting that you have one. In order to rid oneself of addiction, one must declare it. My name is Fire Burgess and I am a diehard fan of misogynistic Rap music.
How do we expect our communities and economies to thrive when our young boys and girls are not receiving the education and training that is needed to enter the workforce?
The bill -- passed by the Florida legislature and now awaiting the signature of Governor Rick Scott -- would expedite the death penalty process in the Sunshine state.

Tiger Woods defines a ho. He's a filthy nasty scumbag who had unprotected sex with filthy low down porn trailer park white trash. The king of ho's is dead and gone basketball player Wilt Chamberlain who admitted to having sex with over 30 thousand white women. Its in the book he wrote. Disgusting garbage. He also said he never met a black women that was intelligent enough to be with him causing outrage in Philly since some of his own females family member and class mates where top doctors and lawyers. He was never forgiven and welcome in the black communities again after his revelations. He tried to apologist but it was never accepted. Growing up in Philly when he played high school basketball there was always rumors that he was a fag. He never dated any girls in high school, never married and all of a sudden he banging over 30 thousand ho's. Ho's are all the black athletes who admit to having big time unprotected sex with many women, spreading STD's like Micheal Vick,herpes and having children all over the place like dogs in heat. A ho is Magic Johnson who got AIDS from who know who, rumored to be on the DL with men and boys.

The "Hoe" can be many things depending on who's the pimp. For instance, if AOL is the pimp then their employee's would be considered "Hoe's". It's all in what you or(the Hoe)would do for someone else to gain. While, at the same time, earning chump change for yourself.

I think a "hoe" is the trashy girls that be on the Maury Show requesting for a paternity test(from screwing every dirt-bag in the projects)so she can get child support from drug dealing Tyrone. Also the welfare queens that have six,or seven kids from different fathers(whom dosen't do a damn thing for them)qualify as a "hoe".

if you sleep with man a man you just met you might be a ho,if you have a one night stand with a man and don't know his last name you might be a ho, if you sleeping with more than one person at a time you might be a hoe.

It's the quick "Ho-Bump" she proudly wears and taking the cash like she doesn't care. Laying down with Dawgs unafraid of catching fleas, the Ho does whom and whatever she pleases. There are some Corporate Hoes too. I liked the Tiger Woods comment.

In reality the term 'ho is a ghettoized mispronunciation of the word "whore." Now a whore or prostitute is a person (male or female) that exchanges use of their body for money or other goods/services. It is important to note however that men created this term and used it to objectify and label females. This enabled men to separate "good" women that were pure and only had one or two men up in her vs. a woman that got what she wanted, when she wanted, the way she wanted. Such a woman is very threatening to men and females indoctrinated into this male-dominated society which judges women about EVERYTHING. Notice, men hold themselves to no such standards of condemnation for high levels of sexual activity with a variety of partners - this label is used with disdain only to describe female sexual behaviors.
When both males and females think about the messages they've been given about women and what women are "supposed to do" with their bodies, there will be a lot less of these negative judgments about women. We live in a patriarchial society where men attempt to make all the rules. However women do not have to allow men to define who and what they are and behave in ways that men deem to be "right." Labeling any woman as a 'ho means that you have mysognistic, sexist attitudes about females and need to check yourself.
