Fourteen years ago, the Dominican businessman Rafael Emilio Alonzo Luna got a truck, traveled to the Haitian border, picked up about 55 Haitian workers, packed them in, and took them to his estate 200 miles away so they could peel dry coconuts for him to sell. This odyssey had the blessing of authorities in both Haiti and the Dominican Republic (DR), who make a business out of exploiti

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.

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

Hey Mark,

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.

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
