Republicans? Not Guilty!

October 8, 2009Raynard JacksonIn pondering the state of the Republican Party since last year’s election, I wondered what would happen if those involved in the party was sued in a court of law. If elected officials and activists were accused of being a Republican, would there be enough evidence to convict them?According to the 2008 Republican platform, “This is a platform of enduring principle, not passing convenience-the product of the most open and transparent process in American political hist

D.C. - Tonight I attended what was billed as a “community” meeting in NE Washington regarding the police shooting of Trey Joyner, a 25-year old black man that was gunned down in the Trinidad neighborhood of the city on June 8th by six white Park Police and possibly FBI agents.

I want to share some thoughts with you, to find out how you view this. With the successful election of President Obama, many expected a new era ( I did not, did you?) in race relations when he took office. I personally think the racial divide is so deep, it will be almost impossible to establish sane, stable, race relationships in these United Sates. I make a practice of reading all the African-American papers in my City. (Philadelphia) It is so disturbing the hate that is in our midst towards t

Goats in Sheep's Clothing, Honey!

An elder student in my African American Lit course during a recent class meeting uttered the words, "Goats in sheep's clothing, Honey!" meaning those persons (including those Black persons we all know) whom you might expect to support justice and liberation and human freedom (those who even claim that they do) and yet actually support the status quo, the ruling class, and the power structure as is.right: Bill CosbyShe ought to know about that.

Why Rich Black Folks Don't Work Together

I'm sure you have heard it many times over and over. You would be in their same tax bracket if you had a dime for every time a Black person said "why won't Oprah, Bill Cosby, Denzel, Bob Johnson, Jay-Z, or any of the other rich celebrities and athletes work together to build or buy-out a company which would in turn create opportunities for the common members of the Black Community"?It doesn't take a Harvard Grad to figure out that if rich Black people pooled their resources, started or bought-ou

CONservative Roots

April 2, 2009Raynard JacksonThe root of the word conservative is con. And that’s exactly what the American people have received from conservatives.Modern American conservatism was created out of an alliance between classical liberals and social conservatives at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. Many credit philosopher Edmund Burke as the father of this movement. Former U.S. President Abraham Lincoln stated that “conservatism is adherence to the old and tried, against the n
