Don Lemon, a CNN anchor, has made no secret of his sexual orientation, according to colleagues. Now in his new tell-all book, he raises the fear of being known as a "gay anchor," mainly because of his race.

From the New York Times:

New data from the U.S. Census Bureau show a striking disparity in which races are more likely to obtain their college degrees. The Bureau found that more than half (52%) of Asians 25 and older had a bachelor's degree or more. That's higher than the level for non-Hispanic whites (33%), blacks (20%) and Hispanics (14%). 

Director/actor Tyler Perry has made hit plays, films and TV shows with titles like "I Can Do Bad All by Myself" and "Why Did I get Married?" He was also an executive producer of the Oscar-winning film "Precious." His work is aimed squarely at African-American audiences. It's not great art, and he would probably admit that.

Earlier we reported on Census numbers that showed a movement of African Americans from northern cities like Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and New York to suburban towns in the south.
