As I have reflected on the year just ended, I noticed everyone doing their usual year-end lists of the biggest winners and losers of the year. I am not a big fan of these lists, but I will acknowledge that the Black community was the biggest loser of 2012.

I have been very critical of how media-appointed groups/individuals have been labeled as the leaders of the Black community.  It’s funny that the media doesn’t use similar language when referring to the White community. Who are their leaders?

Instead of you, who created all of killings?
In the name of you, who ruined many feelings?
Forever you can stay in your Private book
Or maybe as a Juggler in our holy wood
----------------------------------------------------------
There's no difference between machines and your believers
When your funny followers uprooted many flowers
You're a papery god and stuffed with Blank page
You and everyone I know can't kill my message
Why your admirers killed messengers of freedom
Let's erase your name

Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law

As we celebrate the arrival of 2013, it is imperative that we reflect upon the 50 years of civil rights victories and struggles since the historic year of 1963, which, in many ways, launched the modern civil rights movement. It was during this time of transformative change for our nation that the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law was established.

The summer of 1963 saw murders, bo

Self-determination - that is the right and ability of a people to determine their own destiny economically, politically, and socially – is absolutely necessary for the exercise of “genuine” national sovereignty and independence. In reality however, very few of the 193 nation-states that exist within the present imperialist world-system exercise any serious degree of self-agency, let alone self-determination. And it goes without saying that none of the worlds remaining stateless peoples’ and nati

The Fresno Poems: "Date with my Son"

Again the vines orchards
Amtrak to the valley
hesitation fear
the love the hate
return to old battlefield for righteousness justice
battle I didn't need to fight
death of warriors who battled beside me
Pat and Barbara, mothers who blessed me
disciplined children
never raised my voice with them, ever
never whipped them
wives now gone from my life
girlfriends growing fat like myself
insane from valley heat



again the vines orchards
coming winter
my sick son
calls me to valley

Marvin X Returns to the Source: Fresno, California

My daughter Amira urged me to spend Xmas in Fresno with my 85 year old father in law, Mr. James Hall, who lives alone on five arcres in Fresno, not far from the 2 1/2 acres of land once owned by my mother before she joined the ancestors. I hesitated before agreeing to ride down to the Central Valley with my attorney daughter and her children, Jah Amiel, 5, and Naeemah Joy, 1, but I finally packed my bags and joined Amira for the ride to Fresno, 2

THE NEWS AIN'T GOOD!

As usual the television in my bedroom is on all night with the exception of GOD’s Holy Sabbath of Complete REST.  And this morning I awoke to the news about the President of Syria hitting his own countrymen with a missile as they stood in a queue waiting to buy bread.  The feelings I experienced watching and hearing people yelling out in pain and in horror were awful.  What I saw was horrible.

I remember calling on the CREATOR to RETURN to HIS Place to end this death and dest

As I was waiting in line behind an older gentleman at Wendy's recently, I heard him ask for his senior discount. The girl at the register apologized and charged him less. When I asked the man what the discount was, he told me that seniors over age 55 gets 10% off everything on the menu, every day.
Being of 'that' age myself, I figured I might as well ask for the discount too.
