USA Radical Black

“ON POINT!” Radio Talk Show with Ronald A. Edwards and Don Allen airs 5 p.m., Saturday, June 19, 2010 – Topic: “When did the Revolution Stop?”

“Why are Black Americans still having first’s in 2010?”

In 2010, Black America has fallen by the wayside. It seems as though we have given up. Some are blinded by the hope that with the election of America’s first Black president – the struggle is over. We tend to think the struggle has never left us and its getting worse.

This week, USA Radical Black invites you to join long-time Twin Cities Civil Rights activist; also the longest seated Chairman of the Board for the Minneapolis Urban League; Author of “The Minneapolis Story Blog,” and host of Minneapolis Television Network’s (MTN-17 at 5 p.m. Sundays) “Black Focus,” Mr. Ronald A. Edwards and co-host Don Allen who is the editor-in-chief of two very controversial blogs, “The Independent Business News Network,” and “USA Radical Black,” as they come together for the show, “ON POINT!”

This week’s topic: “When did the Revolution Stop?” Hosts Ronald A. Edwards and Don Allen will discuss significant “repeat” issues in the Black community and how these issues were addressed in history and made a priority to fix but still affect the Black communities around the United States today. We will also talk about Minneapolis’ African-American Leadership meetings and why the organizers and participant have missed the mark in addressing the issues of poverty, foreclosures, jobs and economic development. We take a look at the recent homicides in Minneapolis and the fact that the last 8 have no suspects in custody.

“ON POINT!” is a nationally syndicated radio program on BlogTalkRadio that covers World, National and Local News focused to Black Americans.

Listeners can participate by calling our toll-free guest call-in number: 1 (877) 572-42881 or locally in the Twin Cities metro area dial: (347) 426-3904.

No Black Models Allowed

By MXySTAFF (MXyMAG.com)

“USA Radical Black invites readers to enjoy another very popular media outlet, MXyMAG.com. MXyMAG.com features news and information that is Sexy and Business while providing relevant Entertainment news.”

Toronto…A model came up to me a while back, dejected because she was just told that she is too dark to be a “successful” model. As a person who understand the business very well I was thinking to myself “welcome to the new world my friend”. As a black man I was thinking you should have kicked him in his nuts. But in the end what the person had said carries a truth to it and here is why.

People want to relate to the person they interact with. Most people who aren’t black don’t know how to relate to black and in most cases it’s out of fear or intimidation. Most black people I have seen or talked to don’t know how to relate to black neither. Read More »

Claudia Schiffer has been accused of racial insensitivity after appearing on a magazine cover made up as a black woman.

The 39-year-old supermodel wore dark foundation and an afro wig in the shots taken by celebrated fashion designer and photographer Karl Lagerfeld.

His images, taken two years ago for a Dom Perignon advertising campaign, were among six shots of Miss Schiffer used by German fashion bible Stern Fotografie to celebrate its 60th anniversary.
