		<description><![CDATA[Paulo Serodio probably didn&#8217;t expect much of a reaction when he identified himself as an African-American during a cultural exchange at his New Jersey Medical School. However, his white skin apparently disqualifies him from calling himself such. Serodio is a 45 year old white male who was born, and lived, in Mozambique&#8211;in Africa.

		<description><![CDATA[Louisiana State Sen. Danny Martiny, R-Kenner, has filed Senate Bill 115 on behalf of the Louisiana Conference of Catholic Bishops.
