Once again Black Democrats have been dissed by the Democratic leadership in the U.S. House of Representatives; and once again there was absolutely no price to pay.
When will Blacks finally, in the immortal words of civil rights pioneer, Fannie Lou Hamer, get “sick and tired of being sick and tired?” Democrats continue to treat Blacks like second class citizens because no one fears any retaliation or any consequence for how they treat Blacks.
Even the first Black
Golden triangle tour comprises a visit to the three main cities of north India; Delhi, Jaipur and Agra. It is a complete luxury tour and is a reflection of what India holds for its tourists.
Golden Triangle Tours present a grand feast to all its visitors. The golden triangle tour package is a six day package that starts from Delhi, covers Agra, then Jaipur and finally ends the circuit at Delhi.
Delhi is a city where the past and the present live together in peace. The city is full of rich monumen
This is the Poet's Open Mike Assembly, Honoring freedom of speech at all timesHomage to thee, O Ra, at thy tremendous rising!
Thou risest! Thou shinest! the heavens are rolled aside!
Thou art the King of Gods, thou art the All-comprising,
From thee we come, in thee are deified.
Thy priests go forth at dawn; they wash their hearts with laughter;
Divine winds move in music across thy golden strings.
At Sunset they
NATO and No-Fly-Zone ~
I can’t believe it. The Arab Union is asking NATO to impose a no-fly-zone to prevent Kadaffi from putting down the armed rebellion against him. Where was such a request to impose a no-fly-zone on Israel when it was bombing innocent people in schools and hospitals in Gaza? How about a no-fly-zone over Afghanistan and Pakistan to prevent drones from killing innocent civilians?
Besides, what is NATO and what authority do they have? NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organisati

Mission and Script for Academy of da Corner
The Academy of da Corner is a multi-purpose project, embracing literacy, literature, mental health, including grief and trauma counseling; a micro loan bank, and essentially a free speech and sacred space zone. We are all student/teachers. Anyone of us can be simultaneously teacher and student.
Usually we are the teacher, but most often we simply listen, letting people vent who otherwise have no one to talk with. We are their ears,
When I taught in Georgia, several years ago, I was repeatedly impressed by its many folk sayings. Phrases like “butter my biscuits”, “cuter than a speckled dog in a red wagon”, “rode hard and put up wet” and “above your raisin” peppered the conversations in bars and barbershops, town hall meetings and corner store gatherings. Among all of the sayings that I recollect –few had the staying power of “It’s a poor dog that won’t wag its own tail.” I must admit, upon first hearing
Reality in a Foundation Sound
Women carrying a sign reading 'Gbagbo Leave. Enough is Enough' cheer as they arrive to join an unauthorized protest calling for Laurent Gbagbo to step down, in the Treichville neighborhood of Abidjan, Ivory Coast, Monday, Feb. 28, 2011.(AP / Rebecca Blackwell)

In last weeks’ edition of the Earlham Word, my dear friend Vania Frederico wrote an article in response to my earlier article on how Pan Africanism should be the emphasis of Black History. Vania disagreed with my vision of Pan Africanism and how it could be used as a uniting force for the African Diaspora. Vania stated her belief that, “…The discourse on a common history of oppression and the umbilical tie to the motherland is not as compelling in the contemporary age” thusly what she proposed

You rather slither snake like
Before Pharaoh and his magicians
Not me
Take me to your dungeons

THE NATIONAL QUESTION IN SUDAN SEEN FROM PAN-AFRICAN PERSPECTIVE, AS A JUSTIFICATION FOR A UNITED NEW SUDAN
We write as war rages in Darfur and in the shadow of the Southern Sudan Referendum and the impending split of The Sudan, as we knew it. This erstwhile largest country in Africa, now has only months left of life, after which it’s land mass will be juridically sundered, part of it becoming the new nation-state of Southern Sudan. In principle, no one welcomes the further Balkanisation of o
Navigating the Perilous Mental Landscape
We must be aware of the times and what must be done. A blind man named Ray Charles told us "the world is in an uproar, the danger zone is everywhere...." And so it is, ancestor Ray, there is turbulence in the land and in man, woman and children. As the earth enters another 25,000 year cycle of history with the coming New Age of high spiritual consciousness, there are many who remain deaf, dumb an
