@BasicBlackNow Live: two minorities could win in Boston Mayoral race primary election. Strategy ->

do you believe?

Could a a black woman and a Latino male win  the Boston mayor’s race primary election?

Yes, its possible the numbers are suggesting.

In Boston, 198,000 voters are minority and  40,000  are unregistered says Kevin Peterson of the New Democracy Coalition .

He should know because he helped shaped redistricting plans.

There are many candidates in the race who are white males and votes will be shared among them.

So, if experts are right about how many votes it will take to win the primary, the two leading minorities are in.

This was among the topics discussed on the  Basic Black Live: Politics, Scandals, and Legacies  TV  segment on ‘GBH2 last week.

We are in search of families with kids of all ages for a fun new series on a major cable network.

There is compensation for participating.  Please email us at casting@metalflowersmedia.com with the names, ages, and relationships of everyone in your family with a brief overview of your parenting style/philosophy.

Parenting is not always easy – if only there were a manual! Is tough love the best? Spanking or no spanking? Let kids run free and give them their independence, or squeeze them tight and keep them close and teach them the rules? Listen to your gut, or read their diary? Make them talk, or leave them alone?

Only YOU can decide what is best for your children, and what makes you the best parent you can be.

If you have a method of parenting that works for you, we want to hear about it! A major cable network is currently seeking families of all types who have discovered their own secret to parenting. If you’ve been dying to share how successful your parenting techniques are, this is your chance!

Thanks, we look forward to hearing from you!
