It was one of the best sales from a campus pop-up store ever,\u201d says Dent, noting that Pink preproduction samples with FAMU logos could be viewed on models but were not available for purchase. \u201cThe students wiped out the merchandise within a few hours. We had to go get merchandise from another store. We don\u2019t know how much we could have sold because we ran out of product. I think that our experience so far will validate what people have been saying for many years\u2014that African Americans are a strong and viable commercial entity that has been very underserved by major corporations.\u201d<br><br>The Pink brand is geared toward young, college-aged women and includes t-shirts, sweatpants, sweatshirts, underwear, and other apparel. Its Historically Black Colleges and Universities apparel is now available at Victoria\u2019s Secret stores near four of the universities and will be available online Dec. 23. (Hampton apparel will appear in stores mid-January because they submitted approval late, according to Dent.) Pink is in discussions to partner with the Tom Joyner Foundation and Black America Web to do a joint promotion for the HBCU line of clothing under the Pink brand.<br><br>Additionally, a portion of the royalties from the sale of the merchandise will go back to each school.

The tired 1970s academic tactics of seeking to censor and ban others from speaking because of political disagreements are over. Stick a fork in \'em. They\'re done.<br><br>The objection to Warren is that he opposed gay marriage through California\'s Proposition 8. Well, guess what? So did a slight majority of Californians. Should they be disinvited to the inaugural, too?<br><br>We\'re not talking about a policy position here.

My gut always knew better.<br><br>Katrina\'s Hidden Race War<br><br>It was September 1, 2005, some three days after Hurricane Katrina crashed into New Orleans, and somebody had just blasted Herrington, who is African-American, with a shotgun. "I just hit the ground. I didn\'t even know what happened," recalls Herrington, a burly 32-year-old with a soft drawl. <br><br>The sudden eruption of gunfire horrified Herrington\'s companions--his cousin Marcel Alexander, then 17, and friend Chris Collins, then 18, who are also black. "I looked at Donnell and he had this big old hole in his neck," Alexander recalls. "I tried to help him up, and they started shooting again." Herrington says he was staggering to his feet when a second shotgun blast struck him from behind; the spray of lead pellets also caught Collins and Alexander. The buckshot peppered Alexander\'s back, arm and buttocks. <br><br>Herrington shouted at the other men to run and turned to face his attackers: three armed white males. Herrington says he hadn\'t even seen the men or their weapons before the shooting began. As Alexander and Collins fled, Herrington ran in the opposite direction, his hand pressed to the bleeding wound on his throat. Behind him, he says, the gunmen yelled, "Get him! Get that nigger!" <br><br>Full story:<br><a href="http://www.thenation.com/doc/20090105/thompson" rel="nofollow">http://www.thenation.com/doc/20090105/thompson</a></div>\

Immediately after the storm, the media portrayed African-Americans as looters and thugs--Mayor Ray Nagin, for example, told Oprah Winfrey that "hundreds of gang members" were marauding through the Superdome. Now it\'s clear that some of the most serious crimes committed during that time were the work of gun-toting white males. </i><br><br><b>So far, their crimes have gone unpunished.</b><br><br><br><br><br>For the love of God~ Why haven\'t we heard about the white male shooters? This horrific crime occured and all we heard was "black people looting" and "whites getting food for survival".  <br><br>I remember Bill O\'Reilly stating after a camera shot showed a young black boy running...if you shoot them down in the street, then you\'re wrong and you\'ll have all kinds of trouble.

There were much tougher, more public minded appointees for SEC chair on the short list, but they were blocked by fierce industry lobbying warning that tough regulators would be divisive or controversial -- which they indeed would, if they did their jobs. Wall Street fundraisers for Obama used their ample access to resist a tough appointee. People in other power centers, like the Treasury and the White House, did not want a tough and independent SEC. If you think the appointment process exists in some kind of platonic post-ideological vacuum, get real.</blockquote></div>\

Evidently, Obama elevated EPA , OMB Chief and UN Ambassador to cabinet level positions.<br><br>*** Cabinet census: Obama has tapped retiring GOP Rep. Ray LaHood (R-IL) to be his Transportation secretary -- to be named Friday with likely his Labor secretary as well (maybe one of two Congresswomen -- Hilda Solis, of California or Rosa DeLauro, of Connecticut), First Read has learned. Given that Obama’s cabinet team is almost all but complete, now’s as good a time as any to break down the cabinet by the numbers. Note: We include the offices that Obama gives cabinet rank (EPA administrator, OMB chief, and UN ambassador). Today, Obama holds a press conference at 10:45 am ET to announce Mary Schapiro the chief of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the head of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission and an open Federal Reserve Board seat (Georgetown professor Daniel Tarullo), none of which hold cabinet rank. But in the wake of Madoff, the P.R. timing of these announcements couldn\'t be better for Team Obama.<br><br>Here are the numbers:<br><br>- 7 Ivy Leaguers (Clinton, Duncan, Geithner, Holder, Donovan, Orszag, Jackson)<br>- 6 State Schoolers (Daschle, Vilsack, Chu, Napolitano, Salazar, Gates)<br>- 6 Raised in the Midwest (Clinton, Daschle, Vilsack, Gates, Duncan, LaHood) Note: This doesn’t include Chu, who was born in Missouri but grew up in New York)<br>- 4 Women (Clinton, Napolitano, Rice, Jackson)<br>- 4 Raised in New York (Holder, Donovan, Geithner, Chu – who grew up on Long Island; does not include Napolitano who was born in NYC or Clinton who currently lives there)<br>- 3 African Americans (Holder, Rice, Jackson)<br>- 3 Westerners (Salazar, Richardson, Napolitano -- who was born in NYC but raised in Albuquerque)<br>- 3 Basketball Players (Duncan, Rice, Holder -- does not include NSA appointee Gen. James Jones)<br>- 2 Hispanics (Salazar, Richardson)<br>- 2 Asian Americans (Shinseki, Chu)<br>- 2 Republicans (Gates, Lahood)<br>- 2 Sitting Senators (Clinton, Salazar)<br>- 2 Sitting Governors (Napolitano, Richardson)<br>- 1 Raised in the South (Jackson, who was born in Philadelphia, but adopted a few weeks later and grew up in New Orleans’ Ninth Ward)</div>\

Wade - December 16, 2008 <br><br>When Victoria’s Secret Pink visited Florida A&M University (FAMU) last fall to announce that the historically black university would be included in Pink’s roll out of its collegiate collection—the largest retail distribution that has ever been given  to an HBCU collegiate apparel—the students responded by buying out every single item at the makeshift Pink pop-up campus store.<br><br>So it’s no wonder that Richard Dent, CEO of Victoria’s Secret Pink brand is expecting huge returns when Howard University, Hampton University, North Carolina A&T University, and Southern Louisiana University joins FAMU in the second phase of Pink’s collegiate collection, which already includes 33 other schools that were launched in June 2008.<br><br>“Students at Howard and FAMU went crazy for it after the initial press release and campus tour. It was one of the best sales from a campus pop-up store ever,” says Dent, noting that Pink preproduction samples with FAMU logos could be viewed on models but were not available for purchase. “The students wiped out the merchandise within a few hours. We had to go get merchandise from another store. We don’t know how much we could have sold because we ran out of product. I think that our experience so far will validate what people have been saying for many years—that African Americans are a strong and viable commercial entity that has been very underserved by major corporations.”<br><br>The Pink brand is geared toward young, college-aged women and includes t-shirts, sweatpants, sweatshirts, underwear, and other apparel. Its Historically Black Colleges and Universities apparel is now available at Victoria’s Secret stores near four of the universities and will be available online Dec. 23. (Hampton apparel will appear in stores mid-January because they submitted approval late, according to Dent.) Pink is in discussions to partner with the Tom Joyner Foundation and Black America Web to do a joint promotion for the HBCU line of clothing under the Pink brand.<br><br>Additionally, a portion of the royalties from the sale of the merchandise will go back to each school. The percentage varies from school to school depending upon royalty agreements......<br><br>Read more :    <a href="http://www.blackenterprise.com/business/business-news/2008/12/16/pink-rolls-out-hbcu-apparel/" rel="nofollow">http://www.blackenterprise.com/business/busines...</a></div>\

Who\'s with me?  Come on raise your hands, don\'t be shy.<br><br>I love me some Re-Re, but how many of ya\'ll think Obama may have actually asked JHud to sing at the inauguration.  Probably not I bet, since the inaugural seems to be more statesmen-like, but it would have been fun to see JHud rip it for President Obama..<br><br>I wonder what Re-Re will sing.  Whatever she sings, I hope she gets plenty of rest, because even though she can still rip it, she can someting get to caught up in her alliterations of the lyrics and not coming off great. Having said that, I\'ve never seen an abysmal perfromance by Aretha Franklin ever in my young 32 years</div>\
