foreclosure list







While oil washed onto the shores of Florida, Democrats got wiped out of the House and Glenn Beck brought the Tea Party to Washington, Black Planet members were equally busy debating how these stories were not only affecting them but impacting the future of African Americans. However, none of that really matters because what bubbled up to the top of our most active list was far from discussion on Capitol Hill. Take a look below to see who and what moved the meter on Black Planet. Recognize yourself or any of your friends on our list?


Most Popular Profile


Member MZHONEEBROWN squashed the competition with her little high heel and climbed to the very top of our most popular profile list. A quick visit to her page and you’ll understand why. She’s a single mother, author, dental professional and still finds time to stay connected to thousands of her friends on Black Planet. If Black Planet had a list of 30 people doing big things under 30, she’d get our nomination.


Most Popular Political Figure


President Barack Obama has taken a lot of heat lately from Republicans, members of his own party and the BP community if you ever visit the Current Events boards. However, you still couldn’t stop yourself from clicking on his profile page and that makes him the most popular political figure in our community.


Most Helpful Member


Member Nuage was recognized as a BlackPlanet Rising Member of the Month for a reason. While you were sleeping she was busy sending aid to Haiti. Yeah, we think she’s a saint, too.


Sexiest Destination


We think we have some of the most attractive members and now you can confirm what makes them so sexy in our quiz. What’s Your Sexiest Quality answers the big question: what about you drives the opposite sex (or same sex) wild.  This is where we make that annoying cat purring sound.


Want to see what else topped the list? Check out the photo gallery below.







Most of us won't be retiring anytime soon. But for those few who will be saying goodbye to the workforce forever in the next few years, the people at TopRetirements.com have put together their list of the worst states in which to live out your golden years.



Here is TopRetirment's list of the bottom of the barrel:

1. Illinois: IL's fiscal health could be the worst of any state. It even borrowed money to fund its pension obligations!

2. California: The Golden State is expensive and its finances are in disarray. Has paid bills with vouchers. Does have a warm climate.

3. New York: Very high taxes, including property taxes. Second highest tax burden and 5th highest per-capita property taxes. Dysfunctional state legislature. Very expensive to live here. Most pensions are exempt, however.

4. Rhode Island: Probably the worst off state in the Northeast from a financial viewpoint. High taxes. Does have some great places to live.

5. New Jersey: The highest property taxes in the U.S. as well as the highest tax burden (as reported by the Tax Foundation) Has serious pension funding issues.

6. Ohio: High taxes (7th highest tax burden) and unemployment. Cold winters.

7. Wisconsin: A high tax state (9th highest tax burden) with cold weather. High property taxes. But it does not tax military pensions.

8. Massachusetts: High taxes including high property taxes. Very high cost of living.

9. Connecticut: CT has the 3rd highest tax burden of any state, taxes social security, and has very high property taxes. It has some terrific places to live, but the cost of living is very high.

10. Nevada: The foreclosure capital of the world. State is having financial problems. But it does not have an income tax (yet).



The site does add the caveat that its list might be "totally irrelevant" to some people:

Folks for whom money or taxes are not important will find our worst 10 list of little value, because they have other considerations that are far more important. For example, those who want to retire near their family members have such an important driver that the "worst" state on this list could be their "best."
