Running with Rangel

Article Abstract:

US Rep Charles B. Rangel has been active in both domestic and international issues. He was implicated in the 'Rubbergate' or House Bank scandal but it has not diminished his credibility with his constituents. The housing conditions and unemployment in Harlem, NY, is one of his main concerns as is the formation of a summit to address the inflow of illegal drugs from South America. He supports Arkansas governor Bill Clinton for the presidency while criticizing the Bush administration's handling of the Haiti boatmen incident.

African-American images on television and film

Article Abstract:

The portrayal of blacks in television programs and films is full of contradictions. According to the T.V. critic Donald Bogle, an excessive amount of comedy is associated with blacks in T.V. programs. Diane Williams, a writer, feels that serious programs concerning the blacks are not given an equal opportunity and are terminated before they become popular. According to James Muhammad, editor of the Final Call, the media highlights the negative points of black culture without emphasizing its good aspects.

The IQ debate revisited: nature of nurture

Article Abstract:

Sharwyn Dyson, professor of humanities at the College of New Rochelle at the New York Theological Seminary in California, rejects the racially motivated claim stated in 'The Bell Curve' that blacks by nature have lower average intelligence quotients (IQ) than whites. Many prominent subject researchers including Dyson discard these radical and unsubstantiated comments and emphasize that IQ levels can be improved through education and training in all groups of people.
