A new report by The National Urban League looks at issues within the African-American community through the eyes of women. Stephanie Jones, of the National Urban League's Policy Institute; Andrea Harris, of the North Carolina Institute for Minority Economic Development and Emory University graduate student Moya Bailey discuss the report.

Bullshit. Sexism in the media is an important issue but it’s hardly the biggest problem facing (Black) women and children. The AIDS crisis and public school funding and the rise in unemployment are far more important. Last year their report was sexist because it focused on the Black man only. But this year it's even worse, it is classist and homophobic...tho I haven’t seen the full report.

Tonya, not sure what you are referring to above. The report has as its focus the very things you mentioned, with especially good sections on the impact of the subprime lending crisis. Check out the executive summary from the NUL site I linked to above. |
