The perception is that college binge drinking is a "white college issue" and not really of concern at historically black colleges and universities (HBCU)...but the truth is binge drinking is problematic no matter the racial makeup of the student population. According to a study of student behavior by the Century Council, 54% of full-time HBCU students who drink engage in binge drinking, compared to 64% of students at predominately white schools. The difference is in the way the binge drinking occurs. On the next Another View on Health, we'll explore the dangers of binge drinking with guest host, cardiologist Dr. Keith Newby, and emergency room physician Dr. Clarence Clarke.

There is no question - tensions abound between many young people, particularly African American males - and the police. Nationwide we see the results - Missouri, Florida, California, even here in Hampton Roads there have been highly publicized confrontations - and some of them come to a deadly end. African American parents have had "the talk" with their sons and daughters about how to act and react when stopped by police, and there have been several public events lately teaching young people how not to be confrontational. But what about the police side of the story? Are they overreacting because of misplaced fear? Are there racial overtones to every police stop? What are police doing to make sure their ranks represent the community? Law enforcement leadership joins us with some perspective on the next Another View - Chief Michael Goldsmith, Norfolk Police Department; Chief Kelvin Wright, Chesapeake Police Department; Chief Cedric Alexander, President, National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executiv

Say the name "Ray Rice" and more than likely the image of violence between he and his then-fiancee Janay comes to mind. There has been a lot of talk about the NFL's response to the issue of domestic violence, but we all know domestic violence is not new - nor is it limited to sports figures. According to the Black Women's Roundtable's recent report, "Black Women in the United States, 2014", domestic violence is the leading cause of death for African American women ages 15-35. Black women comprise 8 percent of the population, yet they are 29% of domestic abuse victims and 22% of domestic violence homicide victims. African American women are two and a half times more likely to be murdered by domestic violence than white women. Domestic violence is not a racial issue, it can affect women of all economic levels, races, ethnicities and religions. However, it is impossible to ignore the impacts of racism, class, economic security and cultural differences when it comes to violence against women. On the next A

More than 18% of all African Americans aged 20 or older have diabetes. Blacks are almost twice as likely as whites to have diabetes, almost three times as likely to have a lower-limb amputated as a result of the disease and almost 50% as likely to go blind! There are effective medications to control diabetes, but diet and exercise are key to prevention. On the next Another View on Health we'll get the latest on diabetes treatment and prevention from primary care specialist James Newby, MD; nurse-practitioner and certified diabetes educator Olivia Newby; and Waynette Speight, RN, a certified diabetes educator who will tell us about a unique program in Elizabeth City, North Carolina that brings the whole community together in the fight against diabetes.

According to the NAACP, one in six black men had been incarcerated as of 2001. If the current trend continues, one in three black males born today can expect to spend time in prison during his lifetime. Together African Americans and Hispanics make up 58% of all prisoners in 2008, even though the two groups together comprise only one quarter of the US population. Five times as many Whites are using drugs as compared to African Americans, yet African Americans are sent to prison for drug offenses at 10 times the rate of Whites. And then there are the examples of highly publicized cases involving African American males - Central Park 5, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and the Ferguson, MO unrest, just to name a few. So what is going on with the justice system in America? Why are many in the African American community asking, "Is it justice...or just us?". On the next Another View, powerful conversation about justice in America with legal scholars Amos N. Jones, Assistant Professor of Law at the Norman Adr

African American hair is naturally curly, kinky, coiled, wavy - and for decades Black women have used products to chemically alter their natural hair state and make it straight. But now there is a new movement among Black women to embrace their natural hair and celebrate its unique texture. So why is this such a challenge for many African American women who for years have been told that beauty equals long, straight, flowing hair? How did the wearing of natural hair become a political issue African American women? And what about African American men who are not on board with natural hair?
