Do We Deserve The Black Leadership We Vote For?

Black African Americans should be ashamed of President Obama and other Black Leaders, when they examine the conditions of Black African Americans as a group. President Obama and other Black Elected Leaders and their surrogates take pride in telling Black Folks without shame, that he's not the President of Black Americans, but all Americans. Is that a verbal slap in the face? It is for that reason, that I still believe in the Change part of his old m

The Demotion of General Ward?

General Kip Ward the current head of Africom is to be demoted and have his retirement benefits reduced according to Al Jazeera.

He allegedly spent department of defense funds for personal use and used military personnel to drive his wife around on personal errands.  The secretary of defense Leon Panetta is still investigating these allegations.

IS SEEKING ESTEEM AND FREEDOM RADICAL?

When Blacks make waves against unfair, civic laws, White folks call us radical.

The joint statement below by the AFL-CIO, CLC (Canada) and UNT (Mexico) calls for including pro-worker and pro-environment provisions in the new Trans-Pacific Partnership Free Trade Agreement, so that the TPP "does not become another NAFTA." But the TPP, by its very nature, is an agreement aimed at lowering labor costs, promoting privatization and deregulation -- and as such it is all about destroying jobs, collective-bargaining agreements and labor standards, as well as environmental protection

DON'T MESS WITH BILL (COSBY)

My Photo

by Gloria Dulan-Wilson

It's 3:00 AM, and I'm going through my emails – something, being a night owl, I do routinely, in preparation for writing, or researching for my blog or a news article – when I see Bill Cosby's name in the subject line of an email. So, of course I zoom in on it because, anything about Cosby I'm going to read. He's one of my heroes.

Paul Ryan(Originally published at AfroDaddy.com)

After months of speculation, Mitt Romney has finally settled on his Vice President choice, Paul Ryan.  Of course many Republican conservatives are elated with this choice, as Ryan represents everything they like: smaller government, tax breaks for the rich, eliminating social programs, and a "dog-eat-dog" capitalism that leaves many poor, hungry and disenfranchised.

Democrats are equally pleased with the pick as Paul Ryan represents an easy target to rail ag

I've been rolling this concept around in my mind, and I've come to the conclusion that it's better to be a pro-actionary than a re-actionary.

In light of the huge controversy over the natural hair texture, Mississippians Against Racism wanted to tell the exceptional 16 year old, 90 pound, Olympic Gold Medalist, Gabrielle Douglas, that the weight of our race is not on her shoulders.

The Wisdom of Plato Negro, Parables/Fables 
by Marvin X

Review by Rudolph Lewis
 
For Marvin X, a founder and veteran of the Black Arts Movement of the late 60s/early 70s, we who strive for a rebirth of humanity must choose to be a mentor rather than a predator. “No matter what, I am essentially a teacher,” he lectured at California College of the Arts, where he was invited by poet devorah major. Marvin has taught at Fresno State University; San Francisco State University; UC-Berkeley and San Diego

   ~I wonder if Marva Allen knew that she was the part of a growing trend when she announced that she was closing HueMan Book Store back in July of this year?

Activist and author, Dorothy Pitman-Hughes certainly nailed it with her recently completed book, “I'm Just Saying, It Looks Like Ethnic Cleansing,” when she pointed out the concerted effort on the part of the so-called powers-that-be to thwart the development and ownership of Black businesses in Harlem; and the risi
