sagging-pants.jpg?width=402 Forget about drugs, gang initiation rituals and criminal activity as causes of so called Black on Black homicide. It is becoming clearer and clearer that much of this killing is over women. So now we are to blame the black woman for the death of young black men? Yet it is clear to police nationwide that sexual improprieties are the root cause of young men killing each other.

We hear of a national program to reach out to gang members about male/female relations, to instruct young black men that

The African-Origins website at Emory University, launched last year with the names of 10,000 Africans who were liberated from the slave trade in the 19thcentury, has added the names of more than 80,000 African captives to the site, making it the largest and most comprehensive record of the identity of individuals caught up in the slave trade to the Americas.

With this latest information now accessible, researchers again are inviting those who might recognize African names "to tell us which

Save Electricity Bill Using LED Lights

There is no gainsaying in the fact that our excessive dependence on energy and electricity has contributed significantly to uplift their price. They are also expected to be costly in near future given their huge and uncontrollable way of consumption. Whereas energy from natural sources such as cola and fossils are too costly to afford, the alternative fossil fuels are not environmentally suitable to household uses. There are also people who believe that solar panels are ideal recourse to obtain

Romney’s Lack of Blacks

By Raynard Jackson ~

  Just over a month ago Mitt Romney addressed the NAACP during their national convention.  I thought Romney’s speech was horrible and quite a waste of time because he said nothing that would be of any interest to the Black community.  You can read that column at:  http://blackpressusa.com/romney-and-the-naacp-a-missed-opportunity/.

This column set off a firestorm of reactions from across the country.  Most people, of all political stripes, thought my analysis was right on the

Led light bulbs, also known as, light-emitting diodes, have gained worldwide prominence because of many key benefits involved. In contrast to incandescent and fluorescent lights with components like glass-caged filaments or gaseous bulbs, the LEDs, on the other hand, are functional because of tiny chips in small capsules or lenses. These components make led lights energy-efficient and so they are one of the most fundamental household needs today.

Some of the other remarkable benefits of led light

Do We Deserve The Black Leadership We Vote For?

Black African Americans should be ashamed of President Obama and other Black Leaders, when they examine the conditions of Black African Americans as a group. President Obama and other Black Elected Leaders and their surrogates take pride in telling Black Folks without shame, that he's not the President of Black Americans, but all Americans. Is that a verbal slap in the face? It is for that reason, that I still believe in the Change part of his old m

The Demotion of General Ward?

General Kip Ward the current head of Africom is to be demoted and have his retirement benefits reduced according to Al Jazeera.

He allegedly spent department of defense funds for personal use and used military personnel to drive his wife around on personal errands.  The secretary of defense Leon Panetta is still investigating these allegations.

It is very possible that he was getting to close to his ecowas counterparts and the department of defense wants to replace him with somebody who will be le

IS SEEKING ESTEEM AND FREEDOM RADICAL?

When Blacks make waves against unfair, civic laws, White folks call us radical.

When Blacks dispute Whites, White folks call us radical.

When Blacks tout being Black and Proud, White folks call us radical.

When Blacks want representation in this society, White folks call us radical.

The joint statement below by the AFL-CIO, CLC (Canada) and UNT (Mexico) calls for including pro-worker and pro-environment provisions in the new Trans-Pacific Partnership Free Trade Agreement, so that the TPP "does not become another NAFTA." But the TPP, by its very nature, is an agreement aimed at lowering labor costs, promoting privatization and deregulation -- and as such it is all about destroying jobs, collective-bargaining agreements and labor standards, as well as environmental protection

DON'T MESS WITH BILL (COSBY)

My Photo

by Gloria Dulan-Wilson

It's 3:00 AM, and I'm going through my emails – something, being a night owl, I do routinely, in preparation for writing, or researching for my blog or a news article – when I see Bill Cosby's name in the subject line of an email. So, of course I zoom in on it because, anything about Cosby I'm going to read. He's one of my heroes.

What I read made me sad, then disappointed, and finally angry. It was an online response to an article that has been circulating the intern

Paul Ryan(Originally published at AfroDaddy.com)

After months of speculation, Mitt Romney has finally settled on his Vice President choice, Paul Ryan.  Of course many Republican conservatives are elated with this choice, as Ryan represents everything they like: smaller government, tax breaks for the rich, eliminating social programs, and a "dog-eat-dog" capitalism that leaves many poor, hungry and disenfranchised.

Democrats are equally pleased with the pick as Paul Ryan represents an easy target to rail ag

I've been rolling this concept around in my mind, and I've come to the conclusion that it's better to be a pro-actionary than a re-actionary.

In light of the huge controversy over the natural hair texture, Mississippians Against Racism wanted to tell the exceptional 16 year old, 90 pound, Olympic Gold Medalist, Gabrielle Douglas, that the weight of our race is not on her shoulders. Such is the responsibility of Adults and institutions. In addition, we wanted her to know that we fully understand why her natural hair showed itself during her performance and we happy she was nappy, beautiful like God made her.

The Wisdom of Plato Negro, Parables/Fables 
by Marvin X

Review by Rudolph Lewis
 
For Marvin X, a founder and veteran of the Black Arts Movement of the late 60s/early 70s, we who strive for a rebirth of humanity must choose to be a mentor rather than a predator. “No matter what, I am essentially a teacher,” he lectured at California College of the Arts, where he was invited by poet devorah major. Marvin has taught at Fresno State University; San Francisco State University; UC-Berkeley and San Diego
