LET’S GIVE OUR YOUNG BLACK MEN A SECOND CHANCE!

The ‘Sentencing Project’ found that 1 out of 3 Black men born today are expected to go to prison. It’s a cradle to prison pipeline for young Black men. And, the majority of black men will be released from prison into the community unskilled, undereducated, and highly likely to become re-involved in criminal activity. Nearly two-thirds of black men r

Visiting on a Lumbini Buddhist Tour

Posted by Multiple News on February 11, 2011 at 2:55am

Lumbini has the greatest significance in Buddhism for it being the birth place of Lord Buddha. Located in the foothills of Himalayas in Nepal, this world-renowned Buddhist pilgrimage site is quite close to the Indian border. Lumbini is among the four main Buddha holy sites, the other three being Bodhgaya, Sarnath and Kushinagar. Tourists usually plan a combined tour to Lumbini and Bodhgaya, the respective places of Buddha’s birth and Buddha enlightenment.

There are a number of places in and aroun

"I believe the ability to think is blessed. If you can think about a situation, you can deal with it. The big struggle is to keep your head clear enough to think."
-Richard Pryor

The Midwest is flat. And it's hard to think in a flat place, where life is two dimensional, where people have width and length and no depth, where when you fly in from the 3-D world you tend to feel a moment of panic above the runway gazing out of the cabin porthole at surrounding fields, roads, and distant horizon beneat

We have heard the defiance of Pharaoh Mubarak. It is the arrogance of the king who refuses to leave his throne when his time has come, who is blind to the fact that his divinity arises from the consent of the governed. Such hardheadedness is one of those classic tragic flaws so well delineated repeatedly in the plays of William Shakespeare. And yet Diop

King Solomon, of the Bible fame, states in Proverbs 4:7, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting, get understanding.”

I assume that it’s still legal in the U.S. to mention or quote from the Bible? I am not too sure; this can cause me to be accused of being insensitive to other religions—but, I digress.

As I reflect upon the current state of affairs in the world, I am seeking to get some understanding of a few things.

Black History: Obama's Fake Speech to Muslims in Cairo, Egypt

In his Cairo speech, President Obama's called upon the Muslim world to reach out and touch him, don't keep a clinched fist, and yet when the Egyptian revolution exploded, it was he who clinched his fist in refusing to champion the cause of the Egyptian masses for democracy. It was he who was exposed as a collaborator with oppression. It was he who called for stability rathe

The Vice Devil of Egypt

Sometimes we think the President is the Man, yet often it is the Vice Man who actually controls the vice, as Sun Ra taught me.

In the Bush Administration Dick Chaney was the man in charge, who did all the dark deeds.

In Egypt the same scenario has been played out, for it is clear Mubarak is about to exit, yet the man he appointed Vice President is the real devil in charge, Omar Suleiman, the man who has directed the Egyptian Intelligence Service, including the torturing of A

And Jesus met a woman at the well.
He said, Woman, where is your husband?
She said, Savior, I have none.

The Western concept of leadership is being destroyed by the Egyptian revolution. The West is persistent to attach leadership to some person or group for the purpose of demonizing that person or group if it is not in harmony with American policy of supplication to oppression.

The more it is revealed there is no leader, the more the West per

In previous articles, since 2007 I have always defended and given the excuse for our aberrant democratic practice as being nascent, (i.e. new, embryonic, blossoming, hopeful, promising, and budding). In fact, I try very hard to believe in my own folly, always trying seriously to believe myself that we cannot perfect our brand of democracy so soon. After all, as they say, Rome was not built in a day, and even the great democracies of the modern world like the United States of America and Great Br

All Decolonialism is Successful--the West Doesn't Get It

All Decolonialism is Successful--the West Just Doesn't Get It!

Fanon taught us all decolonialism is successful, i.e., once the colonized man and woman determine freedom is the goal, only death itself can stop them from achieving victory. Today in Egypt we have seen people lying in front of tanks declaring the tanks shall crush them before they will leave Tahrir or Liberation Square if Mubarak doesn't leave first.
