HAS BLACK ANGER ENDED?

The worst abuses of the Jim Crow era have been eliminated, but the moral outrage inspired by a personal encounter with bigotry remains the most powerful vehicle for conveying the injuries and indignities of racial inequality.

In the days since the great civil rights awakening, a revolution has occurred across America. Uptight suburbanites who couldn’t imagine socializing with, working for or marrying a “Negro,” have given way to a new and different generation.  That process has cleared the way for a generation of “Black Believers” who fully accept that America means what it says when it promises to treat them fairly.  Are these young African Americans naive about racism or basically more confident than their elders? Now, from a venerated and best-selling author on American life comes a tremendously important book about one of the most significant issues in the history of our republic – America’s race relations.

INTRODUCING NEW VOICES IN SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

Ensuring that every American has the chance to improve their economic circumstances through hard work, saving, entrepreneurship, and other productive activities is essential to build a healthy country and society.  With small business owners and entrepreneurs in traditionally underserved communities continuing to face challenges accessing capital, much attention is being focused on the U.S. Small Business Administration initiatives aimed at increasing SBA-backed loans to small businesses in these markets.

• BINLADEN-QAEDA/FINANCING (ANALYSIS)

* With bin Laden gone, some Qaeda donors may hold back

* Trove from bin Laden home may reveal funding links

* Likely successor Zawahri lacks depth of bin Laden's ties


By William Maclean, Security Correspondent LONDON, May 20 (Reuters) - Deprived of Osama bin Laden's fundraising starpower, al Qaeda's commanders face the prospect of a cash crunch that would complicate the task of evading capture by their U.S. pursuers.

The likely successor to Osama bin Laden is Ayman al-Zawahri, an Egyptian who lacks the former Saudi-born figurehead's depth of contacts among potential donors in the Gulf, a region seen in the West as an important funding source for militant groups.

Economic Support for the Middle East and North Africa, Posted by Meosha Eaton

The revolutions in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) provide an historic opportunity to meet the aspirations of a people long denied political freedom and economic opportunity. Economic modernization is key to building a stronger foundation for prosperity and showing people the fruits of democratic change.  The people of the region will choose their own paths to democracy and prosperity, with policies and programs that suit their circumstances.  That process may take years, as was the case in the transitions of Central and Eastern Europe.  From the beginning of this process and along the way, the United States will offer its support for economic modernization and development to those making the transition to democracy.

Presidency Opposes House Stand on Home Modification Program, Posted by Meosha Eaton

By Williams Ekanem, Capitol Hill Correspondent for MACTV News

The Executive Office of the President says it strongly oppose the House of Representative passage of H.R 839-HAMP Termination act which would eliminate the Department of Treasury’s Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP).

According to the statement of administration policy the program offers eligible homeowners an opportunity to lower their mortgage payments, helping individuals avoid foreclosure and leading to the protection of home values and the preservation of homeownership.

A statement dated March 29, 2011 made available to My Africa Channel Television stated that the Administration is committed to helping struggling American homeowners stay in their homes, and has taken many steps over the last two years to stabilize what was a rapidly-declining housing market.

“As tens of thousands of responsible American homeowners struggling with their mortgages receive permanent assistance each month from HAMP, the Administration believes that continuation of HAMP is important to the Nation’s sustained economic recovery.”
Accordingly, the statement indicated that , “if the President is presented with H.R. 839, his senior advisors would recommend that he veto the bill.”

Representative McHenry, R-NC sponsored the bill and is supported by eight cosponsors.
