Last night Michelle Obama hosted an “Evening of Poetry” at the White House. She invited an eclectic group of poets to recite their poetry. But, Fox News and right wing radio has singled out one performer—the Grammy award winning rapper Common—to be on the receiving end of their ire.
I don’t listen to his music, but from talking with friends who know him, he seems to be a nice enough guy and is very talented! But, he has one song about shooting a policeman, therefo

Amiri Baraka on Marable's Malcolm X
Manning Marable’s Malcolm X
By Amiri Baraka
Preface
by Marvin X
Amiri Baraka is the Pope of Poetry in the First Poet's Church of the Latter Day Egyptian Revisionists. His review of Manning's book reveals how academics suffer a severe degree of myopia by being disconnected from the street. We agree with Baraka that we cannot dismiss the Nation of Islam as some small sect in the North American African nation. How did such a small sect produce me

Revolution Against Fear
Revolution Against Fear
"The only thing to fear is fear itself."--President Roosevelt
No human progress is possible while people are paralyzed by fear. Fear is the great monster of the mind that prevents people from standing against oppression. Once the great monster fear is cut off, we see people can stand tall in the face of any challenge, whether from the guns of state terror, the tanks, police, jails, prisons and ultimately death. Overcoming the fear of death is the ult

But, I guess I was a bit too optimistic!
The word SEAL is an abbreviation for SEa, Air and Land. They are part of the Naval Special Warfare Command (NSWC). They were formerly refe

As an African American university professor of Africana Studies and history (Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, USA) I find it unsettling to recognize how universal the experience of African Americans really is. First, so many other ethnicities, nations, and peoples have experience slavery, oppression, and genocide, not just African Americans. And second, most disturbing, everyone who suffers abuse at the hands of the monarchist, imperialist, corporate, and religio-fascist power exper
