Let me begin by thanking my Sister Vivian for telling me about this Bill that President Trump has already signed and the Commission for it that is already in play.

 

When I read the Commission Act, I could not believe what I was reading. Since being taken in yokes and chains to the Slave Castles, suffering the worst Slave Trade and enslavement known in the annals of history, and being plagued with this captivity, over 100 million Blacks have died at the hands of ENSLAVERS, government officials, im

While persistent activism is working to block Trump's agenda in Congress, many states are already implementing his agenda - banning sanctuary cities, enacting voter suppression laws, and restricting reproductive and LGBTQ rights. We can resist this agenda at every level of government and put in place policies that protect communities from harm.

Your voice is urgently needed: most states will decide which b

Her clairvoyance was a a product of her scientific brilliance and her unparalleled understanding of Racism/White Supremacy.

When it comes to Donald Trump supporters, it’s become pretty clear what you’re gonna get. They’re either people too dumb to tie their own shoelaces, or they’re jerks who embrace racism, misogyny, and the need to prove their manhood.

image002.jpgAn Unreasonable Approach to the Black Vote. By Raynard Jackson, Columnist ~

 Last week I had a very long conversation with a major political operative about whether there was a role for Blacks in the Republican Party, on congressional staffs, on campaign staffs, or the various presidential campaigns. 

The simple response is that the Republican Party is racist; they don’t care about Blacks; and they don’t think they need the Black vote.

But, as me and this operative discussed, it has less to do with

Trump and the Black Vote

3828577439?profile=original[By Raynard Jackson, Columnist] The year 2015 brought tectonic changes in several areas of our lives that the media has totally ignored or under-reported.  Too often media, both left and right, only talk to people who view the world from the same prism as they do.

 

The same argument can be made about the political establishment from both parties.  There is a total disconnect between the establishment of both parties and their respective bases.  This disconnect is personified in the presidential c

NB Commentary: When the now President Obama was running for election back in 2007 he made a lot of promises and gave people the adage that Hope and Change were in the offing. It was time and "Yes, We Can" rang out through the media and the entertainment world took it up and splattered every media outlet with this adage. I even remember myself feeling anxious about the election and wondered if he really would win. He appeared to be anti-everything that his predecessor was openly for.

TRUMPED

April 28, 2011

 

Raynard Jackson

When Donald Trump began to make public overtures about his possible interest in running for president of the U.S., I thought he could be a substantive wild card in the race. 

 

I thought Trump could be a viable candidate because he does have a successful track record as a businessman.  During next year’s presidential campaign, the economy will be the number one issue—this would have played right into Trump’s strength.

 

But, Trump has allowed himself to be hijacked by h
