Yesterday, a letter was leaked to the media in Nigeria from former President Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo to current President Goodluck Jonathan, regarding Obasanjo’s latest indignation at Jonathan’s style of governance, albeit a self-serving vitriolic hocus-pocus of indignation. But some Nigerians are taking Obasanjo’s letter seriously. But for most Nigerians, nothing Obasanjo says or writes are ever going to change their minds about this tyrannical, corrupt, duplicitous, arrogant, vindictive chame

Is it just me? How is it that having a European looking man, with blonde hair and blue eyes, from the middle east elevated to the status of God, is NOT promoting white supremacy?
For the next 30 days folks will be peppering their house, lawns, schools and churches and every where else with the image of a "white" child in a manger purported to be GOD incarnate. A so-called Christmas celebration that really is a cloak for white supremacy.
Think about it, from now on it will be quite alright for Jesu
It’s time to stop the war on the poor in Chicago. We hear the talk all over the inner city. Poor people want to leave the city because they feel it is unsafe and un-affordable. It does not take sophisticated analysis to see the linkages between the poverty rate and violence in certain neighborhoods. Between 2000 and 2010, Chicago lost 200,000 residents. One-hundred eighty thousand of those were African American.
On December 5, 2013, Nelson Mandela died at the age of 95. In the coming period, revcom.us/Revolution will have more reporting and analysis of the significance of the struggle against the brutal racist apartheid regime in South Africa with which Mandela was so closely associated, Mandela's role in that, and the nature of South Africa today. But at this moment, the following are five points of orientation:
1. The vicious system of apartheid—blatant, racist, brutal oppression and discrimination ag

~ By the Emmett Till Legacy Foundation ~ Our hearts are saddened by the passing of a giant of a man.... Nelson Mandela, who was a man of remarkable grace, intelligence, courage and strength. Our prayers are with his family and the beautiful people of South Africa. The grace and dignity in which he fought for freedom, democracy, One man One Vote, economic parity and equality for his people and country inspired the entire world and us deeply. We will forever remember his legacy and His life's jou
In no uncertain terms, members of the Project 21 black leadership network are calling out many self-appointed black leaders, activists and journalists for thus far being unwilling to directly address the senseless "knockout game" violence terrorizing innocent Americans. Project 21 members are also thanking those others who are courageously speaking out against the unacceptable mayhem.
"The members of the racial grievance industry who've attempted to sanitize rather than denounce this chaotic beha
‘This is the season of expectation’
~ By Chinta Strausberg ~ Preaching from the theme, “Looking for Weight Watchers,” Father Michael L. Pfleger Sunday said while this is the season of expectation, we live in a world consumed by losing weight where people fail to realize the results of their intake leads to spiritual obesity which is a wake-up call needed to lead a healthier lifestyle while maintaining a better spiritual health due to the transformation of their minds.

~ By H. Lewis Smith ~ Over the past year or so, many events have been occurring in the Black Community at the hand of the Black Community that continues to bring continual shame and degradation to the honorable memories, sacred struggle and sacrifice of African-American ascendants. Some may argue against it, but these acts continue to adversely affect the growth, development, and progression of the Black community, on a whole, to this very day. For instance, in November 2013, former NBA greats C

“In recent years, Brazil has attained many achievements in promoting equality. However, like many Latin American countries, it still faces challenges connected with the
When the Most High CREATOR GOD Commands us to do something, we do it, and we ask no questions. Noah was obedient when GOD told him to build an Ark and take animals inside with him. And he certainly didn’t ask GOD why HE was going to destroy the wicked, either. Believe me, in that Noah was a Righteous man, he probably wanted to ask the CREATOR what took HIM so long. Forgive me; I kindda went off on a tangent, except that it is wise to observe the days Commanded of GOD.
Anyway, my dear, dear, f
I am not Catholic, but long live Pope Francis. Alleluia! Alleluia! I think he has been reading my book. Did you read about his recent statements. Check out this report from News Americas:
His strong condemnation of income inequality and free markets shows that a lot has changed since the cold war.
Pope Francis is once again shaking things up in the Catholic Church. On Tuesday, he issued his first “apostolic exhortation,” declaring a new enemy for the Catholic Church: modern capitalism. “Some peop
