628x471Of the 30 teams in all of Baseball, the Atlanta Braves are now 1 of 4 teams with an all African-American outfield.

That list includes the Detroit Tigers, Philadelphia Phillies (based on projected starters), and the Los Angeles Dodgers <---not sure what Ethier is but he get's a pass?

Of those other teams, in their cities, there was ZERO negative banter about trading whomever to make the All African American club happen; probably because it didn't mean a thing to THAT city. It was just talent.

MinimumWage Plan Should Spark Maximum Rage

February 18, 2013

By Raynard Jackson

NNPA Columnist

Last week, President Obama gave his annual State of the Union speech before a joint session of Congress. I am stunned at how far left he has moved politically. He wants more government spending, more programs, and more government regulations. Ted Kennedy, the late senator from Massachusetts, would be very proud of Obama’s continued lurch to the left.

The one thing that stood out with me from his speech was his wanting to increase the federal minimu

For African-American workers of all ages, the jobless rate for January was a whopping 13.8 percent, compared with an overall rate of 7.9 percent.

Dress Code in Dubai

Dubai and UAE have varying degrees of tolerance to clothing styles from across the world. Nevertheless, dress code in Dubai is quite liberal, in comparison to several other states in the Middle East. 

There are legal guidelines about what is acceptable, but, in general people are mostly allowed to wear what they like. However, it would be wise to tone down your dress code in other emirates of UAE (other than Dubai), especially in areas where there is greater proportion of nationals or Emiratis.

Over the last week, the news has been filled with stories of the massive manhunt for former LAPD officer Christopher Dorner for allegedly killing three people connected to police.  This has caused great turmoil in society, including within top levels of the LAPD and city government.  One thing which stands out—and which has been noted by the New York Times and other major media—is the impact Dorner’s accusations and depictions of racist brutality and discriminatory practices of the LAPD have had

Django, finally, the black hero who kills white people! What a change from my childhood attendance at the movie house watching the white man kill Indians and we sometimes cheered at the death of Native Americans while infused with their blood. Whether infused with the white man’s blood or not (and surely most North American Africans are, maybe only Gullah and/or Geeche Negroes can claim they are not) it was a pleasure seeing them die at the hands of Django.

Looking Back and Moving Forward in Black History

Davis, CA. Black History Month is often seen as a time to reflect back and look at the accomplishments and progress that have been made by African-American’s. While it’s important to look back, it’s also important to look forward and take into consideration the things that continue to affect black communities on a daily basis. While it may seem trivial, appearance and the way it’s perceived by American society is one of those things.

The Malcolm X Grassroots Movement (MXGM) maintains that regardless of what one may think of Christopher Dorner and the rights or wrongs of his actions, we want to call attention to the truth’s stated in Dorner’s manifesto regarding the pervasiveness of racism in the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD).

As many historians and commentators have pointed out since the release of Dorner’s manifesto, the LAPD is a notoriously racist institution. The Ramparts Division scandal of the late 1990’s is one

President Obama: Please Call Home

Raynard-Jackson17-873x1024

By Raynard Jackson

NNPA Columnist

 

Last week, I criticized President Obama for his anemic, voiceless, almost whispered response to the tragic death of Hadiya Pendleton.  She was a 15-year-old honor student who was shot and killed in Chicago two weeks ago after having performed at Obama’s inauguration.

To my total amazement, there was a torrent of criticism from within the Black community about Obama’s tepid public statement about Hadiya’s death.  I was proud that many in the Black community finally

Obama knows what ails Chicago

BY JESSE JACKSON ~
 • On Saturday, family and friends gathered to mourn the loss of Hadiya Pendleton, shot to death last month at age 15 in a South Side park. Michelle Obama graced the memorial with her caring presence, a mother comforting a brokenhearted family for the unbearable horror that took place about a mile from the Obama home in Kenwood. The first lady’s presence brought dignity, stature and the reassurance of concern and compassion from the highest level of government.
Now, the White
