1. Hawthorne Heights -- Silence In Black And White
   Post-hardcore/emo-pop quintet Hawthorne Heights came to life in the summer of 2001. Originally called A Day in the Life, the Dayton, OH, collective saw numerous lineup changes and shifting music styles before settling on its current formation. Composed of drummer Eron Bucciarelli, bassist Matt Ridenour, vocalist/guitar player J.T. Woodruff, and guitarists Casey Calvert and Micah Carli, Hawthorne Heights built their fan base on a solid demo and a series of self-booked national tours that saw them sharing the stage with the likes of From Autumn to Ashes and the Descendents. In 2003, they signed with Chicago label Victory Records, resulting in the 2004 release of their powerful full-length debut, The Silence in Black and White. As the guys relentlessly toured behind it, the album became Victory's highest-selling debut, while their lead single, "Ohio Is for Lovers," slowly invaded rock radio, MTV, and teenage hearts across the country.
2. Jack White -- Black Jack
   Jack White's historic Detroit manse is on the market for a cool $930K. The 20th-century Colonial is nearly 6000 square feet and rests in the heart of Detroit's Historic Indian Village. The kitchen and laundry room feature black-and-white checkered floors, with the latter room featuring loads of signature red-and-white accents. There's even a secret garden with a Koi pond to help you get your Zen on. Originally built in 1914 for prominent lawyer Ralph Phelps, the structure has ... been home to Oscar-nominated actress Ann Harding. White moved there in 2003.
3. Black Women -- Whites
   The first study, conducted by the University of Michigan and published in the current issue of Psychology of Women Quarterly, looked at popular television's influence on black women. Researchers quizzed black and white female college students at the University of Michigan about their reactions to such popular television shows as "Beverly Hills 90210," "Frasier," "Friends," "Martin" and "Sister, Sister."
4. Black Supremacy -- White Supremacy
   The basic aim of Black Muslim theology—with its distinct Black supremacist account of the origins of white people—was to counter white supremacy. Yet this preoccupation with white supremacy still allowed white people to serve as the principal point of reference. That which fundamentally motivates one still dictates the terms of what one thinks and does—so the motivation of a Black supremacist doctrine reveals how obsessed one is with white supremacy…
5. Black Women -- White Women
   Prior to this time, Black men were encouraged to marry white women in order to enrich the slavemaster's plantation with more human labor. The Black man in some instances was able to select a mate of his choice. However in contrast, the Black woman had little choice in the selection of her mate. Living in a patriarchal society, she became a mere breeding instrument. Just as Black men were chained and branded under slavery, so were Black women. Lying nude on the slave ship, some women gave birth to children in the scorching hot sun.
6. Black Conservatives -- White House
   The young black conservative political activists such as Allen spin, prime, and defend administration policies on affirmative action, welfare, laizzez faire capitalism, and anti-government regulations with the best of white conservatives. Bush's controversial federal court appeals nominee, black California Supreme Court Justice Janice Rogers Brown, once brashly claimed that she was "one of the few conservatives left in America." Allen did not make the same bold, and brash claim as Brown, but he is every bit the conservative ideologue as Brown. None of their efforts touting GOP policies have helped much.
7. Black
   Black Enterprise is the premier business and investment resource for African Americans. Since 1970, it has provided essential business information and advice to professionals, corporate executives, entrepreneurs and decision- makers. The publication provides 3.7 million readers with monthly information on entrepreneurship, careers and financial management. As the definitive source of information for and about African American business markets and leaders, Black Enterprise is the authority for business news and trends.
8. Black Power Movement -- White America
   The Black Arts Movement has often been called sister to the Black Power Movement. Both movements call for a new and widened awareness of the richness of black culture. Unlike the Black Power Movement, though, the Blacks Arts Movement is not about protest or power. "The movement attempts to speak directly to Black people about themselves in order to move them toward self-knowledge and collective freedom. Much of the work produced at this time is considered art of liberating vision: liberation from slavery, from segregation and degradation, from wishful 'integration' into the 'mainstream,' to the passionate denial of white middle-class values of the present and an attendant embrace of Africa and the third world as alternative routes of development." These are the sentiments of Stephen E. Henderson, one of the main advocates of this movement and the writer of several works during this time. Henderson who was often described as diminutive- - no more that 5 feet tall, with a quiet voice and swept-back hair- - was born on October 13, 1925 in Key West, Florida.
9. Black Sox Scandal -- White Sox
   Although many believe the Black Sox name to be related to the dark and corrupt nature of the conspiracy, the term "Black Sox" may already have existed before the fix. There is a (probably apocryphal) story that the name "Black Sox" derived from parsimonious owner Charles Comiskey's refusal to pay for the players' uniforms to be laundered, instead insisting that the players themselves pay for the cleaning. As the story goes, the players refused and subsequent games saw the White Sox play in progressively filthier uniforms as dust, sweat and grime collected on the white, woolen uniforms until they took on a much darker shade.
10. The White Stripes -- Meg White
    Jack and Meg White were depicted in the claymation MTV celebrity parody show Celebrity Deathmatch where Jack White was fighting to the death with Jack Black. During the fight, stabs were made at Jack and Meg White implying that even they did not know if they were brother and sister or ex-spouses. Throughout the fight, the commentator Nick Diamond can be heard making jokes about where they stand, siblings or ex-spouses. Meg White jumps in at the last minute to help an almost defeated Jack White, and together they grotesquely finish off Jack Black by buttoning up the top neck button, or as they call it The Hardest Button To Un-Button, of a white shirt too small for him, causing his head to explode. They then commence "making out" in front of the cheering crowd.
