I was on “Washington Watch with Roland Martin” last week.  This is a weekly TV show that deals with Black political issues, among other things. The roundtable discussion was very lively, but I was amazed at my fellow panelists’ response to something I said.

Americans somehow have this strange notion that all discrimination is bad.  But it isn’t.  We discriminate every day.  You choose one restaurant over another; you watch one TV show versus another; you date skinny girls and not heavy girls.

It is fitting that on the same day as this headline appeared, "Pro-Israeli US lawmakers urge bombing Syria air bases, arming militants, invasion" I delivered the following remarks to the United Nations International Meeting on the Question of Palestine:

Kudus for Mr. Ben

   As I read this article, this statement jumped out at me; "When we talked about a new majority, if our new majority doesn't have a vision for white folks who've been locked in poverty generationally, then we're never going to quite get there."  Kudus to Me Ben for diagnosing the malady, but the cure is still left lacking. Until the mis-education of the White man is remedied, the elitist mindset of the impoverished segment of the majority population is addressed, change is next to impossible to

I never saw anything from major media that suggested giving him a chance to present his evidence for backing-up such a damning statement. I think I know the answer, but I'd still like to know his views.

By Benjamin Todd Jealous

Last week, the Delaware State legislature approved a constitutional amendment to all but remove the last Jim Crow-era voter suppression law from its books.

The amendment, passed at the urging of the Delaware NAACP, allows people with nonviolent felony convictions to vote after their release from prison. This is a major victory for voting rights and a strike against the practice of "felony disenfranchisement". But it is also a major step forward for a nation st

He contacted me a few times after he left, once to send me a large shipment of unreadable books by Kim Il Sung, once to make arrangements for the return of a pistol he had given me (a pistol that later resulted in the conviction of Panther George Murray) and once to send me a lace face v
