Hello All: I just received an email in reference to the January 17 press conference convened by the National Newspaper Publishers Assn.(NNPA), Black Church, and Historically Black College and University (HBCU) Leaders to Announce A New Anti-Hazing Initiative. The conference should be broadcast nationally.

If you can make it, it would be a good idea to be in attendance

Retrieving Resolution by La Vonda R. Staples

            Embracing difficulty can be one of the most torturous and the most facile experiment ever undertaken by a living being.  If you are dead inside you’re stagnant, stuck and sterile.  Production is not the proof of life as there are many productive people who are not settled, peaceful, or even content.  There are very successful people whose presence never gives an aura of bliss to their surroundings.  I beli

            I think the majority of Black men whom I speak with on a daily basis are not African American men.  I regularly interface, via phone and internet, with Nigerian, Ghanaian, Haitian, and Puerto Rican dark-skinned, thick lipped, and very well educated brothers.  This is in addition to the people I speak with on an ongoing basis over writing projects a

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

             Mass Hypnosis

This is how we (the white elites) will win the game
Let just a few live the dream
Marches, sit-ins all in vain
Make 'em think they overcame

Show 'em an empty Jim Crowe grave
Apologize for making 'em slaves
Rising tempers, we must tame
Make 'em think they overcame.

Let a few experience success
Toms come aboard and control the rest
Millions will be left in pain
But they'll think they overcame.

On a day designated to celebrate the achievements and triumphs of African people everywhere, the Haitian Revolution, despite attempts to erase all traces of its significance from modern civilization, stands out like a pinnacle in a dream, a seminal moment in the wide swath of human history. In this day and age when Haiti is often caricatured as a troubled and poor beggar state, ravaged by nature and devastated by political bedlam, it is with reverence that we remember that

FIGHTING POLITICAL WARS FOR THE OVERSEER POSITION ON MASSA PLANTATION

(The maniacal quest to be THE MAN IN CHARGE of the slave master’s front office on the plantation, driven by the obsession to be the party in power under Massa’s directions)

With 70% home foreclosures in the African American Community, why is 3^rd Ward Ald. Pat Dowell The only One speaking out about the 2,500 Home Foreclosure on with 17 other Aldermen RUNNING!

WOW! As I drive around the 18 African American Alderman Wards I saw hundreds of homes boarded–up properties, but I never really paid attention to it until I listen to 3^rd Ward Alderman Pat Dowell raise the issue a few days ago. Now I don’t know if she is raising this issue because she feels the foot steps of Yo

“Instead of Waiting On The World To Change just open your eyes and see the truth"
 Educate yourselves about what is really going on, and avoid the trap that so many have fallen so deeply into.

During the 1960’s Black revolutionaries such as Malcolm X and Stokley Carmichael were most often revered as heroes of the black community.  Today we often find that such like minded Blacks that are culturally conscious (Afro-centric/ Black Revolutionary types) are often misunderstood or underappreciated by t

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

Current Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan is considered a rising star among many in the international community.  Good luck seems to be the hallmark of his life.

He ascended to the presidency last year with the untimely death of his predecessor, Umaru Yar’Adua.  Mr. Jonathan, a zoologist by training, is not your typical Nigerian politician.

Upon completing his education, he worked as an education inspector, professor, and environmental protection off

HOW THE MASS MEDIA IS BEING USED AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN WHITE DOMINANCE

Many African Americans now holds the opinion that in the face of greater gained opportunities that many within their race became their own worst enemies. It is not uncommon to hear these negative sentiments about their own race now echoed by many African Americans themselves—they that consider themselves as being exceptions to this norm. This perception often engenders profound feelings of immense humiliati

During the past two weeks I have been asked to be involved in two projects relating to Africa. While dealing with Africa can sometimes be very frustrating, after the past two weeks, I am very high on the future of Africa.

Last month I was asked to help put together the first ever Seychelles Investment Forum in New York. The event was held last week and was a great success. The Seychelles is off the east coast of Africa, surrounded by the Indian Ocean (www.seychell

Even though not all black Americans refer to themselves as the pejorative n-word, an alarming proportion of the Black community uses and/or supports use of the term. For instance, ministers invoke the word from their pulpits, and the NAACP, with the wink of the eye, looks the other way when prominent blacks publicly embrace the word. Many black college professors support their students' use of the word. Minister Louis Farrakhan has glowingly utilized the word in some of his

Not every conspiracy is a theory; Black people are being mass manipulated.

Stan Moore,

Since 2007 I have been unrelentingly engaged in the dissemination of information asserting that as a means of maintaining its white dominance and control, the US government has been using perception management techniques against its Black population. It is

The US government’s intelligence divisions have developed advances in the studies of behavioral psychology that have given them much more control over its population. It initially used these advancements to develop psychological warfare programs used to manipulate foreign populations, but it was eventually decided that this same method of psychological warfare could be used domestically as a tool to manipulate public opinion.
Today to control and produce uniformity among the masses, the U.S. gov
