   I met Peggy Dodson at the beginning of 2011, at a time when she was in the middle of the formulation of the UBC-TV Cable Network. Over the course of the year we played a game of sporadic telephone tag. I would call her and get her voice mail. Weeks later she'd call me back and get mine.

It was probably because she was busier than a one-armed paper hanger designing and developing a new Television Network, showing that Oprah Winfrey is not the only diva genius mogul am

I went to their home in 1970. It was the year I turned four. I wasn’t the only one traveled with them that night. My cousins who lived next door went too. Like so many other Black folks of that time had learned to do we left the house late at night (or early in the morning depending on your view) after the chicken had been fried and wrapped in foil, after the drinks had been placed in a cooler, after I had been awakened from the sleep they made me take at around four p.m., and after everyone had

I am the person who exists, breathes, acts and responds when no one is watching or when there is someone in my presence who I feel cannot harm me.  Whether the person is too small, too young, an outcast, or someone from whom I have taken power, how I comport myself around them is actually the real me.  When I  walk out of church and people have complimented my speaking or my shouting or my dance of praise and I start to hurriedly run to my car in order to avoid some poor soul who is on the busli

THE GENOCIDAL FRUITS OF U.S. AFRICA POLICY

A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Glen Ford ~

 

  Rwanda’s crimes against Congo are the subject of another United Nations report. The U.S., Rwanda’s ally and protector, “is also liable for the genocide in Congo.” Washington has placed its guns and money in the hands of an aggressive, minority regime – which is not surprising. “U.S. policy in Africa has almost always been to choose chaos in those places where it cannot rule directly.”

 In a recent article on Yahoo's newspage, Bloomberg apparently is underwriting some sort of study to persuade developers come up with homes less than 425 square feet in size, actually going down to as small as 325 square feet. 

How stupid can you get!! If they do develop tiny apartments, make sure that Mayor Mike Bloomberg and those assinine planners have to live in them too. With all the wareho

As anyone who has followed me knows, I have been extremely critical of President Obama’s non-engagement with the Black community. Obama has deliberately ignored the plight of the Black community while giving preferential treatment to the homosexual and Hispanic communities.

 

But I can’t in good conscious criticize Obama and then give the Republicans a pass when they display similar behavior towards the Black community.  I can’t excoriate Black Democr

In January of this year the National Newspaper Publishers Association, the HBCU, and the Black Fraternities and Sororities (also known as the Divine 9) and other Black organizations held an emergency press conference in reference to the tragic beating death of Robert Champion Jr., by members of the marching band in some sort of bizarre hazing ritual. 
It was just announced that the President of the University has resigned (been fired?) from his post; and the band has been

Telling someone to forgive and forget, when you aren’t present for their nightly parade of memories of the past, is sometimes another blow on the back of a wounded soul.  I don’t know how, but I have learned to forgive and I hope I learn this mythical thing called forgetting.  The human mind is designed to have survival tactics imprinted within higher and lower brain functions.  You learn how to walk, in part, because you look up from your crib and see everyone walking.  The images are frozen in

King Leopold II’s hidden genocide

NO doubt, we know a lot about Cecil John Rhodes’s reign of exploitation and plunder in Rhodesia.  
We also know that his desire to conquer our land went as far as claiming our own spiritual shrine at Matopos as his burial site. 
Rhodes was British. 
He was a rogue, and a greedy colonialist. 
What most of us do not know, is that the evils of Cecil John Rhodes in Africa did not reach the extent shown during the bloody and ruthless reign of King Leopold II of Belgium in the Democratic Republic of C
