Happy Women's Rights Day!
This August 26 celebrates women winning
the vote in the U.S. 91 years ago. Today Radical Women honors the
suffrage movement and its militant, multiracial fighters. These
women--Sojourner Truth, Clara Lemlich, Francis Ellen Watkins Harper,
Sarah Grimke, and so many more--rebelled against enforced second-class
status to organize courageously for equal rights. We will be forever grateful
for their work.
Gaining access to the ballot did not eliminate oppression, however.

“I may be just a foolish dreamer but I don’t care
Cause I know my happiness is waiting out there somewhere
I'm searching for that silver lining
Horizons that I've never seen
Oh I'd like to take just a

There are times when things need to be said. And this is one of those times.
As life would have it, I, like many Black people have had my share of moments with white folks that could have gotten ugly, had it not been for my upbringing. From my experience, it just appears that Black people and white folks live in two entirely different parallels and our perspectives about life are birthed from them.
Really, haven't we all been asked dumb questions by white folks? And why do these people appro

Boycott Koch, Vote for the re-election of the President of the United States of America, agree with Dhoruba BinWahad, or any other of the rabid anti Barack Obama class="IL_AD">Black Men and Women; that is ok with me IF YOU ARE USING YOUR POWER PROPERLY at the same time.
We must stop whining about President Barack Obama and vote the obstructionist congress out by organizing! I am sure that President Barack Obama is unhappy about the say no congress, but it is our job to organize and vote Democratic while voting out the blue dogs.

I am clear that one of the primary reasons why the national news media including national Black media has given Congresswoman Maxine Waters national headlines with The Congressional Black Caucus "alleged" attack on President Barack Obama to lift his personal attention to addressing the dangerous unemployment rates facing majority Black communities. This is not the first time that The Black Caucus has taken public positions on jobs, and not the first time that Black Caucus members have presented

How long will the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) continue to behave like a person who has been diagnosed with erectile dysfunction (ED) and has been prescribed Viagra by his doctor?
The male psyche is extremely fragile and when the doctor prescribes Viagra to him, initially it is a huge blow to his ego. Then, there is an initial state of denial, followed by acceptance.
So it is with the CBC and their relationship with President Obama. Obama has all but ignored
