On a day designated to celebrate the achievements and triumphs of African people everywhere, the Haitian Revolution, despite attempts to erase all traces of its significance from modern civilization, stands out like a pinnacle in a dream, a seminal moment in the wide swath of human history. In this day and age when Haiti is often caricatured as a troubled and poor beggar state, ravaged by nature and devastated by political bedlam, it is with reverence that we remember that

Crashing and burning...

Life on Planet Earth...

 

I sometimes wonder if the rituals of society are not meant to backfire. I never expected a friend of mine to be in serious trouble. It is not legal...yet. The bottle keeps winning out. I cannot post this elsewhere as others can see who do not know me. We strive for success with profession and romance...only to crash and burn. This culture moves so fast and we are often so baffled when someone succumbs to the pressure despite being prestigious.

 

Everything just rushes by an

Black Women No Longer Have Their Essence

May 26, 2011

 

Raynard Jackson

 

Essence Magazine used to be the preeminent magazine for Black women in the U.S.  They, like many Black publications, have lost their relevance; and in the process become an embarrassment to the very group they claim to target.

 

Essence was founded in 1968 by Ed Lewis, Clarence Smith, Cecil Hollingworth, Jonathan Blount, and Denise Clark.  Their initial circulation began at around 50,000 per month and now is estimated to be over 1 million per month.  It is a monthly pu

Zionism And National Insanity


Recent events in Israel such as the planned building of 1,600 housing units in Arab East Jerusalem, lead us to the conclusion the Zionists are headed down a national suicide path that will surely take America, if not the world, with them. What makes their suicide a foregone conclusion is the fact they are surrounded by nations with populations more suicidal than they.


The Saudi Arabian brand of Islam promoted by Al Quida is a return to Ya'

Interestingly, a controversy and confusion stills reigns within the Black community (and within other progressive circles) over the annual celebration of African Liberation Day and its connection to more than the anti-apartheid struggle and other forms of militant protest. I wrote an article during May, 2010, that is repeated below in a slightly up-dated version, to clarify the situation. Since that confusion still exists among too many of us

As Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announces new summer police deployment in an effort to stop and increase in Chicago summer crime on the south and westsides, I would hope that The Mayor will recognize that NO AMOUNT of police deployment in Chicago can address the desperate economic conditions at the root of street tensions that draw inner city residents into crime, and MUST back more police deployment with more access to legitimate job opportunities. (Mark S. Allen)

Dump Obama

By Michael Phillips ~

 

We had such great expectations when we elected Obama. He filled us with the audacity of hope. He had not only the enthusiastic support of American people, but the whole world. Obama is very intelligent, eloquent and charismatic. What good is it for the president to be very intelligent, eloquent, charismatic and black like me, but act like George Bush? Obama has been stringing us along while carrying out Republican policies. According to the Bible, “ By their fruits ye shall

    “Even the gods envy those who are awakened and not forgetful who are given to meditation, who are wise and who delight in the repose and retirement from the world.” -  The Buddha

Marvin X and Lenin on the National Question

E3BB9403.JPG


While it is simple intelligence to examine a question from a variety of viewpoints or points of analysis, in order to arrive at a theoretical solution, such analysis does not eliminate the problem, though it may prolong it. The problem may become confounded in analysis and theory, yet the reality of the situation remains.

While a workers revolution may be the ultimate solution to the American capitalist nightmare, the North American African nation should

Poem: You

You enter my inner being , should i stop you? I don't quiet know ! Do i yearn for your touch ? Do i anticipate your lips pressing up against mine ? Do i sometimes think about you?

Poem : Can We Talk

                                                             Can we talk


 

Can we talk for just a moment?

 

Can we talk about what's inside?

 

Should i tell you that i love you ?

 

Should i say some times i get tired ?

 

Is it wrong to be disappointed about the times  i've  done you wrong ?

 

Will you still love me tomorrow , or have i really let you down?

 

Can you gaze upon my existence or have I vaporized into air?

 

Are our days really numbered , and if so will you meet me there ?

 

Can we talk for just a mom

A Black Revolutionary Nationalist Response to President Obama's Speech to the Middle East



 



 



Talk is cheap. Politicians glorify in the world of make believe, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. After oppressing the people in North Africa and the Middle East for decades, we now learn the imperialists will come with new tricknology to appease and assuage the wounds suffered by the neo-colonized people.
