EMPRESS VOICESEXCERPT:

Indeed, there is great strategy involved in allowing a select number of Blacks to advance.  Specifically, in positioning a number of Blacks in top positions, it helps to deflect accusations of racism in America.  Thus, people become focused on what America looks like rather than what it does.  Accordingly, the principle of fighting structural discrimination is eclipsed by the desire to showcase difference through symbolic gestures.  Therefore, the presence of Blacks in cert

   It's hard to believe that fifteen years have passed since the First Wall Street Project opened in New York City. It was 1997, at at that time we actually were on Wall Street, with many of the events happening either in board rooms, on the trading room floors, or at the World Trade Center.

I can remember sitting in the top of the World Trade Center at one of the luncheons, in a facility where the ceilings were arched, and so low that you had to bend to be in there, and

For as long as I can remember, I have had an intense interest in my paternal grandfather. You know the drill, who he was, what was he about, how was he raised, etc. Fundamentally, the reason was that he had died in 1938, which was approximately twenty years before I was born, and when his oldest child (my father) was ten years old. Although I was consciously curious about his life by the time I was seventeen, and began to inquire into his biological roots and the origin of his surname, I met wit

Africa
Cameroon is at the Crossroadof West and Central Africa. Travelling through Cameroon is like discoverying all the African continent. She streches from her southern flank which faces the Atlantic Ocean through the Gulf of Guinea right to Lake Chad. Cameroon is a melting pot of people and civilizations and possesses a diversified range of tourist attractions. It should be said that Cameroon is naturally endowed in this regard from the white or black sandy beaches on the Atlantic coast, the thick ra

3. It hosts some of the most amazing and ancient cultures like the Baka and Badgeli pygmies in the Eastern jungle, the nomadic Mbororos on the Adamawa and North Regions, the animist Komas in the Alantika Mountains, but also Bantues, Kom and many more.

Interestingly, a controversy and confusion stills reigns within the Black community (and within other progressive circles) over the annual celebration of African Liberation Day and its connection to more than the anti-apartheid struggle and other forms of militant protest. I wrote an article during May, 2010, that is repeated below in a slightly up-dated version, to clarify the situation. Since that confusion still exists among too many of us

On Steve Biko

As was discussed in earlier engagements with Pan Africanism, Pan Africanism’s purpose is the formation of a United States of Africa and for greater co-operation between the different peoples of the African Diaspora to be achieved.  It is a dynamic political philosophy in the words of George Padmore designed to achieve social justice and human equality.  In order to gain a deeper understanding of Pan Africanism, it is important to engage with its many sub-categories that have developed throughout

With All Thy Getting

February 10, 2011 

 

Raynard Jackson

 

King Solomon, of the Bible fame, states in Proverbs 4:7, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting, get understanding.”

 

I assume that it’s still legal in the U.S. to mention or quote from the Bible?  I am not too sure; this can cause me to be accused of being insensitive to other religions—but, I digress.

 

As I reflect upon the current state of affairs in the world, I am seeking to get some understanding of a few things.

Is Visiting Africa A Stretch?

January 13, 2011 

Raynard Jackson

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (father of the former Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court with the same name) once stated, “A mind that is stretched to a new idea never returns to its original dimensions.”

I think the sooner African leaders come to understand this, the better off the continent will be.  Everytime I meet with African leaders, they always complain about how Africa is portrayed in the U.S. media.  But yet, they never seem to understand the need to have
