Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and now Libya.. Ongoing wars and a blank check written for spending. Military hardware manufacturers must feel like they’ve died and gone to capitalist heaven….

But there’s another war being waged that will seldom receive worldwide news coverage commensurate with the above wars and never be given the funding that these other “perceived conflicts” obtain… Or for that matter a fraction of it

That is… the war for the lives of A Generation of Black men living (and dying)

Malcolm X and Chauncey Bailey, A Comparison



Malcolm X and Oakland Post Editor Chaucey Bailey were both killed by Muslims in conspiracy with the police. Manning Marable's biography will lay bare more evidence of police involvement. Fifty years later there is call for a new trial to consider the New York police role in the murder of Malcolm X.


We wonder will it take fifty years before the citizens of Oakland call for a new trial in the assassination of C

President Obama promised "change" to the people who voted for him.  He told them to hope again and that change would come.  But President Obama's change is really more of the same.  Therefore, his elixir that was sold to the world was nothing more than snake oil.  The most damage, of course, is being done to those whose dreams were intricately woven into his words, not realizing that words are not policy.  In a most deadly treachery, those who belie

On April 15, 1958, in Ghana, African leaders and political activists gathered at the first Conference of Independent States. The conference was significant in that it represented the first Pan African Conference held on African soil after the 5th Pan African Congress in 1945. The Conference called for the fou

Yesterday, across the U.S. headlines screamed that the “Duke Lacrosse Accuser”, “woman who falsely accused Duke Lacrosse Team” in the Huffington Post, The Washington Post, ABC News  even the Boston Globe, the story actually made headlines in the UK –has been yet again arrested.   It seems that that Crystal Mangum has been reduced to “that woman” “accuser” of the Duke Lacrosse Team.  But who is ‘that woman” and why has she achieved such notoriety.  Clearly, one who can displac

A Funny thing happened on the way to the Chauncey Bailey Murder Trial

CBAILEY2-200x300.jpg
 

 

Like Hamlet, I hesitated for weeks trying to decide whether I should attend the murder trial of Oakland Post Editor Chauncey Bailey, my friend and colleague who was assassinated by other friends of mine.


What a conundrum! Immediately after the incident happened that dreadful morning of August 2, 2007, on the streets of downtown Oakland, I wrote an article entitled The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, for I kn

For a generation that has witnessed few genuine people's movements succeed in transforming the nation-states where they reside and engage in bottom up processes of social revolution, the popular uprisings in Africa (Tunisia, Egypt, Algeria, Morocco and Libya) and southwest Asia (Yemen, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Syria) have been very instructive. In the main what these movements reiterate is that "repression does indeed build resistance", although it may take a decades fo

I JUST DON'T LIKE YOU.

A little black girl goes to school and her teacher goes on facebook and makes fun of her hairstyle. The little black girl’s mother becomes outraged and threatens to sue the school system.  

 

African Americans become emotional and sensitive because they put the word Negro on the census count or because some white person says, "those folks".

Peraica, who is white and represents the western suburbs, was talking about how cutting the county's share of the sales tax could help the unemployed -- mention

Pimpin and Spirituality

by Marvin X, Prime Minister of Poetry

 


I am not a pimp. I am a hustler, sometimes a trick. A hustler waits for no one to bring his money, he gets his own. It is beneath his dignity to wait or depend on a woman or anyone to get his hustle going. All he needs is product, almost anything will do, even a roll of toilet paper he can hustle. But the pimp's thing is women, he considers himself their manager and they consider him the same, usually by mutual

The Moral Limits of Freedom

Rodney D. Coates*~

I start from the basic premise that freedom is not an absolute. That is to say, one is not absolutely free, that there are obvious limits to our freedom seem unassailable.  Simply put, our freedoms are limited to the extent that they impinge upon the freedom on another.  Having said that, exactly what are these limits and what is the nature of these limits.  My mother would remind me often that “The fact that I can do something does not mean that I should do that thing.”  The d

The Politics of Saying Yes When You Should Say No

David L. Horne, Ph.D.  |   OW Contributing Columnist
 
Practical Politics

I was, am and will continue to be a great supporter of President Barack Obama. That support comes from his stature as the first African American president and what that means to African descendants, and other people of color, all over the world.
It also comes from his style, grace, eloquence and record of accomplishment during 2008-2011. He has definitely made so
