By Danielle RossBoyz N the Hood is a classic African American film that can be critically analyzed through the lens of race and gender issues in the media. The first thing that I noticed when watching the film through such lens was the usage of common signs throughout the film that were found on the street and around the neighborhood. These signs served as a visual reinforcement to the paths that these young kids were on in the neighborhoods in which they grew up.
For example, immediately af

Robert Seth Hayes
Medical Justice Campaign
As previously noted, Seth Hayes finally began to receive medical intervention for both his Hepatitis C and poorly-managed diabetes roughly a month ago. This development is no doubt thanks to many people who made calls on his behalf. Unfortunately, Seth is still suffering from undiagnosed and untreated chronic bleeding and abdominal growths. Many calls have been made to Health Services in regards to these conditions that warrant urgent assessment, and the

Open Letter to My Sisters and Brothers on the Aftermath of the Slaughter of Nine Members of the African American National Community in Mother Emanuel Church in Charleston, South Carolina
I feel our pain because of the slaughter of our nine sisters and brothers by a white terrorist who carried out a failed military mission in an attempt to spark the start of a genocidal war against the African American population.
Yet in his failure and because of the results of his actions nine human beings went f

The result then was that we were so-called freed, dead broke without brick, bread or thread, and with no choice but to stay "unfree" notwithstanding the 13th Amendment!! With this MEO our demand for reparations in our life time will be permanently restricted to an advisory role under the four layers of governance and control by t

Dear BlackList Members:
This article (http://www.thecharlottepost.com/news/2015/07/13/state-national/obama-urged-to-launch-reparations-study-commission/)
is one-sided, deceptive, and inconsistent with what it calls for, and morph the demand for reparations to simply advice. It's headline is, "Obama urged to appoint reparations commission." Then in the first sentence, it says, "a coalition of Black groups are calling on President Barack Obama to issue an executive order to establish a “reparatory j

I often hear my white conservatives counterparts say that blacks think that the “America owes them something” and that blacks only want entitlements. They make it sound as if America has given blacks everything that they currently have and that blacks have contributed nothing in return.
So What Did America Give Us?
A. Conservative whites who imply that America gave these ungrateful blacks everything, often boast that they gave blacks “freedom.” Freedom was what blacks had before they were en

The murders in Charleston South Carolina have ripped the scab of US history off and laid bare the festering sores and oozing puss of the consciousness and psychopathology of white supremacy for the entire world to see. That dastardly act exposed the real America. With that act one of the symbols of white supremacy, the Confederate battle flag that flies over the capital of South Carolina has come under inc
