Note to Michael Steele: if you keep messing up like this and the GOP won't hire another black guy for you job for a LONG time.*

Looks like the GOP has two Negro problems.

WINNERS

Black/Jewish Relations (AAJW) 3.99 +.68 +17.04

For those who think we don't have a lot in common we give you this guy...

See, we share more than Lenny Kravitz.

LOSERS

Black Professors (AAPROF) 2.74 -.93 -25.34%

Turns out there's a pattern of discrimination against black professors seeking tenure. No. Way.

Looks like black profs are discriminated against outside the home, too.

*Not that that was in their plans anyhow.

The Index says goodbye to a hip-hop label that kept it real and produced one of the greatest records of the past decade shutters its doors. Def Jux will be missed.

Pour a little on the curb people.

WINNERS

Lloyd Marcus (BKTP) .49 +.49 NA

We don't agree with his politics, we hate the song and we're pretty sure he'll be the only brother at this Tea Party nonsense this weekend, but by writing the tea-party anthem he's carved out a place for himself... at least 'til they figure out he ain't white.

They say "Dixie" was written by a black man, too. For what it's worth.

LOSERS

The Paper Bag Tests (PBTST) 0.0 0.0 NA

From George Lopez's segment to the upcoming Henry Louis Gates PBS doc, it seems negroes are fascinated with just how black they are. Can't say we see the point of that. Personally, we thought we left that shit behind.

Guess what new media -- arresting Professor Gates WAS stupid.  He didn't say racially motivated.  He said stupid.  Which it really, really was.

As they'd say on Family Feud, "Good answer.  Good answer."

WINNERS

Valerie Jarrett (VJRT)  5.31 +3.09 +160.81%

The Obama insider gets the New York Times Magazine treatment.

Allen Iverson (ANSWR3) 7.45 -2.91 -28.09%

Still a free agent, the last few seasons has seen this former face of The Association fall from the NBA firmament back to earth.  Now it seems he can only makes the news as a part of a strip club rumor.  How the mighty have fallen.

No one loves A.I. like we do.  Still, it's looking more and more like these photos came from the "good ole days".

Charges dropped.  Good.  Still wish we never got there.

Aww, man... we didn't even get a chance to print up those "Free Skip" t-shirts.

Hey Black Men, looking for a new way to attract the attention of law enforcement?  How about this: Trying To Get Into Your Own Home While Black.

Ah, Boston... all the racism of the deep south, minus the awesome food.

HBO'S Prom Night in Mississippi

Much like excellent The Order of Myths, this documentary explores the continued tradition of segregation in the deep south.

German Sprite Ads

Just last week we gave some dap to Microsoft for going the interracial lovin' route in an ad.  A German Sprite ad shows how to do it the wrong way.
