[by AJAMU BARAKA] For the many thousands of tourists who fly into Israel/Palestine every year, landing in the modern Ben-Gurion airport in Tel Aviv marks the beginning of a great adventure in the “holy land.” But for members of the “African Heritage” delegation, flying into Ben-Gurion was fraught with tension and foreboding. Before departing the U.S. on October 27, our delegation rehearsed how we would move and act, role-playing what to say and what to avoid when we would face Israel’s first lin |

The hidden scandal on Scandal
by
Rudwaan
Olivia Pope is the lead character from the mind of Shonda Rhimes as she brought her TV show Scandal to life. By now the show’s ratings and success is well known. The content of the show is also well known so there is no need to build up to my viewpoint. The reason I waited so long to pen this blog is in the above statements.
Olivia Pope is a frightened little Black girl who received a 5-star education and sub-par parental love. Spat out o

I've come to be known as the first Ebola patient to be treated in the United States -- but I'd prefer to think of myself simply as a family physician.
I was born and raised in Indiana, and trained in family medicine in Texas. I spent the last year living and working as a missionary doctor in a small hospital outside Monrovia, Liberia. So when the Ebola virus came to that country, I was among the first to treat infected patients. And in late July, I contracted the disease.
I quickly came to unde

The ink of insanity
When hearts are cruel dictators and dirty
When thoughts are sinister and greedy
When the obedience is a kinda stupidity
When the logic is buried immediately
When love is stolen on the show of reality
When pets are the inheritance of materiality
When religious motions are the lines of vanity
And when flattering intellectuals lose their sanity
Victims walk on the dream of their killers to see:
Which God commanded you to kill humanity?

BY RAYNARD JACKSON ~ Wow! That one word sums up my reaction to the midterm election results. This was a total repudiation of the Obama administration, along with the national Democratic Party. Not only did Republicans take control of the U.S. Senate, they also expanded their margins in the U.S. House of Representatives and among governors. As usual, most of the post-election analysis has been woefully short of any substance. Yes, Republicans taking over the Senate is major, and yes, increasing numb |
The Black Arts Movement (BAM)--the Most Radical Artistic and Literary Movement in American History
I think what Black Arts did was inspire a whole lot of Black people to write. Moreover, there would be no multiculturalism movement without Black Arts. Latinos, Asian Americans, and others all say they began writing as a result of the example of the 1960s. Blacks gave the example that you don't have to assimilate. You could do your own thing, get into your own background, your own history, your own
The results of last week's election mean big changes are coming in 2015. With new elected officials on every level come new opportunities—and challenges—in the fight for civil and human rights.
To ensure our issues are top of mind, we must come together to set our goals and priorities for the movement.
What are your top priorities, Kwasi? Tell us where we should focus our resources in 2015.
In January, the new Congress and new state legislatures will begin their work, crafting policies that affec
As the dust settles on the 2014 Midterm election, the balloons are dropping on the Republican victory parade as they celebrate taking control of the Senate from Harry Reid and President Obama.
But you and I can't celebrate yet because Obamacare is still the law of the land, and there is 1 more vote left on the table.
You see - the Senate race in Louisiana has come down to a runoff between Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu (who voted for Obamacare) and conservative Bill Cassidy (who has vowed to r

Liberal Websites Such as Vox Present a Misleading Picture That ObamaCare Is "Working"

VOTE FOR THE CREATOR GOD OF THIS UNIVERSE!
The United States is all caught up in another one of its Midterm Elections – its so called “democratic process” - to elect members of the House, Senators, and Governors. How wonderful it is for the people in a country as “great” as the US to be able to put confidence in candidates to have them represent them, right? Of course, but where is the candidate who will represent the Black vote, or rather, the descendants of Slaves? Where is anyone in whom
