For decades African Americans have overwhelmingly voted for Democrats in local, regional, state and national races.  But with the 2012 presidential election, there are a growing number of African Americans who are  not only voting Republican, but who hold leadership positions within the Republican base.  Why the switch?  Are Republicans offering an attractive alternative to Blacks who are fed up with high unemployment, deficit spending and Obamacare?  On the next Another View we'll talk with Coby Dillard, Vice Chairman of the Republican Party of Norfolk, and Thomas Harmon, IV, who ran as the Republican candidate for Senate District 2 against incumbent Mamie Locke, about their views on why voting Republican is the better choice for African Americans this November.  Plus, Lisa Godley brings us the story of TBO - a group of young people who are determined to use media in a positive way.  It's all on Another View, Friday, July 27 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM, or stream us at whrv.org.

Three decades after the AIDS virus was first reported among gay white men, nearly half of the one million people in this country infected with HIV are black men, women and children!  If you don't find that startling, you should, especially since African Americans only make up 12.6 percent of the U.S. population.  Why are these numbers growing?  We'll discuss the AIDS epidemic with filmmaker Renata Simone who explores this issue in depth in her latest FRONTLINE documentary on PBS "ENDGAME:  AIDS in Black America."  We'll also talk to Marvelyn, a popular star athlete who contracted AIDS as a teenager from her boyfriend.  She says she was totally ignorant and  feels let down by her home, school and community. Also joining us is Rosalin Johnson: STD Program Supervisor for the Virginia Department of Health. Later in the show, we'll look at some of the positive things happening in the African American Community when we take a behind the scenes look at the project actor/filmmaker Tim Reid is doing with Norfolk State University Students.  It's all on Another View, Friday, July 6th at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM or stream us at whrv.org.
