NEW MALCOLM X BOOK EXPOSES “HOMOSEXUAL RELATIONSHIP"
Manning Marable, an influential historian of the black experience in the United States and the author of a forthcoming biography that will redefine the legacy of Malcolm X., died Friday in New York. He was 60.
The Columbia professor spent 20 years working on a bombshell biography of Malcolm X but died Friday, just three days before its release. Scholars and those who have read his new book Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention say it presents the most definitive look yet at the leader’s legacy. One of the most controversial parts is how top law-enforcement authorities “stood back” rather than investigate death threats against the leader because they viewed Malcolm X as a dangerous extremist (they’d call him a terrorist nowadays in the U-S). The 594 page book also talks about how 2 men were wrongly convicted of his killing, while 4 others involved went free.
Marable obtained thousands of pages of FBI and CIA files while researching his magnum opus. Among other things, he argues that Malcolm X exaggerated or lied about his criminal career in an attempt to show that the Nation of Islam could redeem even the worst criminals. He also says Malcolm X had far more doubts about religion and politics than was portrayed in the popular autobiography written with Alex Haley.
It also includes details about his life including an early homosexual relationship.
The 60-year-old died of long-standing medical problems. Marable’s wife, Leith Mullings, says the cause of death is not known at this time but Mr. Marable, who lived in Manhattan, had entered the hospital with pneumonia in early March. In the acknowledgments of his last book Marable wrote:
“For a quarter-century I have had sarcoidosis, an illness that gradually destroyed my pulmonary functions,” he wrote in the volume’s acknowledgments. “In the last year in researching this book, I could not travel and I carried oxygen tanks in order to breathe. In July 2010, I received a double lung transplant, and following two months’ hospitalization, managed a full recovery.”
Partiers Vying To Revive Freaknik Amidst Growing Criticism
Atlanta, Georgia– A couple of party promoters are attempting to bring back the popular 1990s Spring Break-like festival, “Freaknik”, despite criticisms the party drew from city officials in the past.
Mayor Kasim Reed’s office said the city is reviewing a Freaknik-related permit application. Two separate events, Freaknik Nation and iFreaknik2011, are being promoted for April 15-17.
Some doubt this years Freaknik festival will live up to its heyday in the 90′s, and feel it should be left in the past.
“Freaknik is dead and they should stop trying to revive it,” said Travis Hudgons, a 34-year-old photographer and veteran of Freaknik in its prime. “It was a different vibe back then. It wasn’t forced. That’s just how we rolled. They need to do their own thing and stop trying to relive a past that they were never part of.”
Women at Work: Are You a Workhorse or a Show Horse?
Although there have been a number of studies that demonstrate profitable value in how women behave in business, some of those same characteristics that are innately female such as intuitiveness and flexibility are often still seen as weaknesses by managers who hold stereotypical views of how these behaviors play out in the workplace. A Catalyst study called "Women Take Care, Men Take Charge: Stereotyping of U.S. Business" clearly outlined this attitude in it’s reporting that women in corporate positions are often seen more as nurturers than they are as problem-solvers.
As a woman in business, you can do little to change attitudes and the stereotypical mindset of the people you work for; but you can work smarter in how you develop your professional profile in the office.
As part of our continuing coverage of Women at Work for Women's History month, here are some suggestions of how to reposition your standing on the job.
Attitude: There’s a huge difference between expectation and hope, and depending on which attitude you bring to business projects affects how colleagues and managers respond. Expectation is intrinsically speaks to confidence about your abilities and the anticipated outcomes. It also creates confidence in knowing how you should be treated in the workplace and the compensation you should receive. If you are a woman who constantly hopes for a good outcome, you are probably waiting to see how events play out based on your efforts. For example, you’ve worked really hard, so you hope your manager will recognize your contributions and give you the raise or promotion. There’s little ambivalence about who you are and what you’re worth when you operate from a place of expectation.
Act Now: Moving into action requires some level of risk – even when you don’t have all the information or when all the pieces aren’t properly aligned. Women tend to want to have all t’s crossed and all i’s dotted before they act. Planning is important, but execution is what gets the credit – and the respect. In the book Women Don’t Ask by Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever, “If optimism is about how we believe is available, risk taking is about going for it – taking a chance to get as much as we can – and men seem to be more comfortable than women taking risks….Men’s greater propensity to take risks may teach them, in contrast that challenging the status quo and pushing their own agendas can work to their advantage. Many women learn this lesson much more slowly, if at all.” Because risk aversion is a result of fear, it’s difficult for the cautious worker to stand out as a leader in any organization. “Ask for forgiveness, not permission,” is a phrase I’ve often heard from male bosses.
Take Credit: Most studies show that women get hire points for rallying, supporting and nurturing their team to do great work, but men know how to take full credit for what they create. Women tend to use the “we” pronoun more often than they say “I”. Don’t be timid about taking ownership. It obviously takes a team to see a project to fruition, and the group should always be recognized for their efforts, but it’s important for women to demonstrate how they led and directed the process of implementation to success in formal presentations, professional networking sessions and in performance reviews.
Feedback: There’s a difference between job description, which is the basic outline of what’s required for a position and job performance and expectation, which is the level at which you deliver these tasks. Getting regular feedback is the only way you will be able to discern your standing in a company, which will in turn inform the decisions you need to make. Feedback helps you make strategic decisions. That’s why it should be viewed as two-way communication and should happen regularly. If you are only meeting with your manager for performance reviews, it will be impossible for you to execute at the level of your boss’s expectation. If your manger tends to offer general responses, be specific with your questions and comments to elicit detailed accounts of your work and progress.
Enlist Support To become a powerbroker in your company, you need a support base. Colleagues, mentors, and sponsors – a network of professionals that can aid, testify and even brag about your successes for you. Working alone, in isolation or wanting to shoulder the burden keeps you narrowly focused on doing the tasks, which will only define you as workhorse. Men know how to be show horses. Make time to develop the necessary relationships in and outside of your organization that will not only provide you with proper guidelines and opportunities on how to impress your bosses, these relationships can be far more influential in presenting your case.
MEAGAN GOOD FEATURED IN MENS HEALTH MAGAZINE
Meagan Good isn’t ashamed of her body, as if she would have a reason to be. To prove it, she showed off her envious curves in Men’s Health magazine’s April 2011 Issue. Her feature complimented the magazine’s poll results of what women want.
Of course, Meagan Gave gave her two cents, stating that the key to a good relationship is “bliss” and the main quality she is looking for in a man is “loyalty”.
First Date Body-Language Mistakes
- What You Need To Know
- Don't look closed off by crossing your arms (even if it feels comfortable).
- Overdoing it on the head nod will make it seem like you're disinterested.
- Make the effort to lean toward her. It shows you're interested.
"Although you can't fake a connection with someone, you can definitely enhance it by trying to get on their wavelength. "
First dates are all about seeing whether or not you and the woman you’ve asked out are in sync. You might pay special attention to what you say (which is a good thing), to how you clean yourself up (big bonus) and to any sparks that fly over the dinner table. But don’t fall into the trap of letting your body language mess things up for you. Here are 10 first date body-language mistakes to keep out of her sight.
Pointing your feet away from her
When we like something, our bodies instinctively want to move closer to it. It happens subconsciously a lot of the time, but be aware of your feet. Are they pointing in her direction or at a hot girl at the bar? Be sure that they’re facing the woman you’re on a date with, as this is positive body language that shows her you’re interested.
Patting her during a hug
A hug at the end of the date is a great way to show her you want to touch her (and women want to be touched), but don’t pat her on the back. Although this could happen when you feel a bit nervous or you don’t want her to think you’re jumping her, the back pat gives her the idea that you are uncomfortable getting closer to her or that you just don’t want to make contact. Yes, it’s that bad. Always lean toward her when you reach in, and if you don’t want to come on too strong, make it a short hug.
Moving too quickly
You might not realize that your body often mirrors your internal emotional world. If you’re feeling a bit nervous about the first date, it could be reflected in your body language, such as make fast movements while talking or eating. This first date body-language mistake tells her you’re nervous and maybe even insecure. The impression you want to make is that you’re calm, collected and confident. So become more aware of your body and try to slow down your movements.
Nodding too much
If you nod a lot while your date is speaking, she’s going to think you’re not really listening or you just want her to wrap up what she’s rambling on about so that you can take the stage again. Basically, it tells her you’re not interested in what she has to say. Of course, nodding a little bit can be good because it shows that you agree with certain things she says, but keep it to a minimum.
Speaking out of sync
Mirroring each other on a first date creates the impression of being on the same wavelength. Pay attention not only to what your bodies are doing but also to how your speech patterns match. If she speaks really fast and you’re more mellow, for example, it throws you out of sync. Try to match her, as this will make your conversation flow. Although you can’t fake a connection with someone, you can definitely enhance it by trying to get on their wavelength.
She might even think that you're just bored of her company and it's causing you to shred those napkins. "
Crossing your arms
Maybe crossing your arms is just a stance you feel comfortable in, but it will make your date feel that you are literally closing yourself off from her, which explains why this makes our list of first date body language mistakes. That’s never going to make her feel warm and fuzzy inside on a first date. Try to keep your arms extended or open as much as you can so that you show her you are willing to engage in conversation.
Invading her space
Sometimes instead of blocking yourself off from your date, you end up being a little too engaging. You might move too closely to her so that you’re breathing the same puff of air. Although you think she might have been flirting with you or sending you signals for you to move closer, it’s too soon. Plus, even if you’re charming and she’s showing interest, if you’re invading her personal space, you risk it being seen as an instant turnoff.
Fiddling around
Fiddling with objects or not being able to stay still could be seen as displaying nervousness, a lack of confidence or disinterest. She might even think that you’re just bored of her company and it’s causing you to shred those napkins. Try to remain still and focus on your date. Immerse yourself in the moment and show genuine interest. Keep still and don’t fiddle, so that your confidence speaks for itself.
Intense eye contact
Eye contact is always a must when it comes to displaying good body language on a date, but don’t think that this means you should laser into her eyes. Can you say creepy? It will make her uncomfortable or cause her to feel like she’s being scrutinized by you. Let your eyes meet across the candlelight -- but not for longer than a few seconds so it’s not awkward. Do not turn her off with this first date body language mistake.
Touching her
Perhaps you’ve been laughing, enjoying some drinks and giving each other a lot of flirtatious looks, so it’s only natural to think that it’s OK to reach over and touch her. Don’t! You might be coming on a little too strongly for a first date, and she’ll likely assume that you’re only interested in her for sex. The only time it’s OK to touch her is if she touched you first, like if she has brushed your arm during a joke. In that case, she’s giving you the go-ahead and hoping you mirror her actions.

Young Buck Facing Up To 10 Years In Prison
The life of Young Buck — thrown out of G-Unit, dumped by Monica, caught crying on the phone, the Feds raided his home over an IRS debt, and now he may be locked up for a very long time. After being charged as a convicted felon in possession of a .40 caliber pistol and ammunition, the rapper has been indicted and is facing trial.
Buck has plead not guilty to the gun possession, but he probably wouldn’t even be in such hot water if he hadn’t stabbed that guy at The VIBE Awards in 2004. Sad story…dah well!
Sony Pictures Remaking 70′s Film ‘Sparkle’
Sony Productions has given the green light to a remake of the classic 1970′s Motown film, Sparkle. It will be written and directed by Mara and Salim Akil (behind The Game and Girlfriends). The film is often compared to Dreamgirls, but producer Debra Chase-Martin wants people to know that they are quite different.
“The plots are very different. I mean, Sparkle’s much darker,” she says. “It has some real things about ‘what price are you willing to pay for success.” One of the orginal film’s stars, Lonette McKee, made an appearance on The Game as Jason’s mother, so she will probably be seen in the remake.
You down to cop a ticket?
