Hearing the term red-lining in 2015 may seem oxymoronic. Right? Not necessarily, at least according to some new data.
Americans have been making a collective mistake: thinking that wealthy non-whites do not face discrimination anymore, and can, therefore, live wherever they prefer. It was a complaint brought up by the National Fair Housing Alliance this year that showed the issue is still alive and relevant. This is happening fifty years after the abolishment of housing discrimination by Con
In the future, what will echo most when we hear Bill Cosby’s name?
Will he forever be known as that beloved figure who starred in a groundbreaking family sitcom, was a voice of moral authority on black culture and education and made audiences laugh for decades with his stand-up comedy?
Or is Cosby risking a serious tarnishing of that image right now as allegations of rape continue to swirl around him?
On Sunday, the second woman in a 10-day span, publicist Joan Tarshis, came forward to tell a

Lecrae made history with his brand-new single “All I Need Is You” this week, becoming the first Christian hip-hop artist of all time to ever reach the number-one spot on iTunes.
The rapper spoke with The Christian Post about the achievement this week and stated that he does not view it as something to brag about.

This week on The Nifty Christian Radio Show, Nifty and Kay C focus on the story of an infant who faces death because her parents refuse to seek medical attention; they simply want to ‘pray about it’. Many of us Christians use this phrase. Does it demonstrate more or less faith in a given medical situation?
