Should The Democratic Party Be

Abandoned By Black People?

One thing I must do is applaud all the Black people who discuss politics. But I believe there are some serious misconceptions out there. 

Some people are claiming it is the Democrats who have always hurt or undermined the aspirations of Blacks. Nothing could be further from the truth.

It was a Democratic President (Harry Truman) who integrated the Armed Forces. It was Democratic President (John F. Kennedy) who said of those fighting for their Civil Rights: "the cause of the Negro is just."

Newport News, VA -- Nuekie, a skin care company for people of color, is delighted to announce the launch of the Nuekie Skin of Color Directory. The aim of the exclusive online directory is to provide women of color with access to the finest skin care services regardless of their location within the United States.

The online resource was created by Eunice Cofie-Obeng, a cosmetic chemist and esthetician, after surveying women of color and learning that many of them could not find a skin care professional who specialized in ethnic skin. Some of these women had even been turned away because the skin care professional didn’t know how to treat their skin.

Women of color deal with unique skin issues in comparison to those with Caucasian skin. This is due to the fact that there is a significant amount of melanin found in their skin and there are differences in the structure and function of ethnic skin. Some of the common skin care concerns women of color have include acne and hyperpigmentation which requires a level of expertise that very few estheticians possess. This is where the directory will prove invaluable.
