A Name in the Street

I’m sitting here and wondering about my child.  Where is he?  Has he eaten?  Is he drunk?  Is he clean?  Does he have a decent bed?  All these thoughts and more are roaming through my mind and running rampant and long, sprinter and marathoner combined.  I can’t believe we, his step-father and I, his sister, his brother.  None of us can reach him because he desperately wants a name other than the one I gave him on the day of his birth.  He wants the cars, a beautiful woman, wealth, and most impor

[Read carefully and see and understand how this article justifies the reasons why descendants of Slaves are due REPARATIONS. 100 million Blacks stolen out of Africa, and this US Congress chooses to sweep our history and their guilt under the rug. And Black folk want to cast votes in this Hell. T.Y., Editor, The LawKeepers JOURNAL]

 The National Council of Black Leaders recently held a public forum called "The Conspiracy to Destroy the 'Hood.

However, when Leroy Johnson complained that somebody had sent his voter registration car

Corporations As People

From The Ramparts

by Junious Ricardo Stanton                                                                          

                                                           

 ~ Most of what you hear about Citizens United v. FEC is negative. By opening the door for corporations to spend unlimited sums in elections and to allow for the creation of super PACs, the Supreme Court has made a campaign finance system that was already flooded with money much worse."

To Sleep Through the Night

by La Vonda R. Staples

  ~ I can’t say that I’m against the death penalty.  I only know that I love my children so much that I feel that the person who should become so wrapped up in evil and carry out the act of ultimate theft, murder, should be called upon to surrender his ghost, after a trial, on a specific date, at a specific time.  May Allah the Merciful forgive me if I’m wrong. 

            What gives me pause is the number of times a man, generally a Black American man, has been selected to

September 15th marks the anniversary of a terrible tragedy in our history. On this day forty-nine years ago, during a service at the 16th Street Baptist Church titled, “The Love That Forgives,” members of the KKK set off explosives that killed four little girls: Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson and Denise McNair.

In honor of their memory, we ask that you pledge to register 16 new voters on Sunday, September 16.

Cairo is a vibrant, exhilarating, exotic, fascinating and welcoming city. Home to the best Pharaonic, Coptic and Islamic sights in Egypt, this city is where you never know what incredible, half-forgotten monument you might stumble across while wandering around. There are also plenty of cinemas, theatres and modern malls. Go for an opera or enjoy oriental music dance shows. Good for short breaks and long stays; you’ll get to see the Giza Pyramids, thousands of ancient artifacts in the Egyptian Mu

Sailing the Nile along the lush Nile Valley surrounded by golden dunes and sightseeing Ancient Egyptian monuments such as Kom Ombo and Abu Simbel is tourism at its best. Wake to the soft light of the morning sun, take in the heat and cool off in the pool on the deck of a cruiser; watch fishermen cast their nets, farmers take to their fields, a flight of birds, and water buffalos staring back at you. Book a Nile cruise and you just might unravel another layer of the mystery that is Ancient Egypt.

 - This is About the Black Ghettoes of the USA - 

  I'm writing this in the wake of the murder of Chicago rapper, Joseph Coleman aka Lil Jo Jo. I'm not going to go into the details of his murder, nor the circumstances surrounding it too much. I will say that there is an important intersection between youth (gang related) violence and the hyper-masculine values set that contemporary rap music underscores. As a Hip-Hop educator who works prima

Friday Affirmation: What We Do

I love you my Black American women. We got no daddies with shotguns. We got no big brothers to defend our honour. And sometimes it seems that our men don't appreciate the fact that we lay down on those tables to give them immortality in the form of our beautiful brown babies. There are far too few princes on the white horses coming to save us. We must save ourselves. We can't wait for a falling star for our star to shine. We make our own shine. And that's why, for better or worse, I am with you.

Reality Unchecked Shadow People

 by Lavonda R. Staples ~

  Shadow people, all of the humanity has either been removed or war really never there. Never developed. Never nurtured. Never guided into the beginnings of actualization. Only the shadow of what might be a person, remains. Mastering the art of daylight. I can stand the light. I am still immune to each day’s sounds.

Surrender? To what? Nothingness. Oblivion was the sweetest of verbs, the most welcome state of being. No feelings means no joy and no pain. The trade is so sim

Fanon, Thiong'o and Bojangles

by Lavonda R. Staples ~
   In the racial landscape of America it should be a pre-requisite for all citizens to sit, stare into space, and commit more than a simple introspection – it should be an autopsy via vivisection, on the impact of race in their lives.  It is in our air.  I remember studying the end of slavery for the British Empire and the court case with the famous line, “the air is too free.”  The air in America has never been free from the stench of racialized thoughts, behaviours, spee
