Obama, War Monger
The following report by Glen Ford
is something we should have known, i.e., that Obama would out do the white man to prove himself. Black police and correctional officers are known to be twice as vicious in their treatment of blacks to prove themselves to their colleagues. So it is not shocking to see President Obama get top honors for the biggest military spender in US history.
Although we supported him initially, as Dr. Cornel West sa
Nation Time in Sudan, What About North American African Nation Time?
On the even of the vote in the Southern Sudan for independence, North American Africans should reconsider Nation Time for the 40 million neo-slaves in the belly of the beast, tortured victims of domestic colonialism who never exercised the right of self-determination but had their American pseudo citizenship forced upon them by the 1

The murder of my child will not make your child safe.--James Baldwin
It is supreme irony that a child born on one of the most destructive days in American history, 9/11, would be murdered at nine years old, Christina Taylor Green, the child who suffered along with Congresswoman Gabriel Gifforts in the mass shooting in Arizona over the weekend.
What is the connection between 9/11 and the Arizona massacre? On 9
The state of Maryland in the United States of America has witnessed one of the biggest inflows of settlers, short trippers as well as students. Globalization has a big role in the whole process taking shape while business development and growth has shrunk the earth into a global village.
One of the by products of globalization and the merger of multi ethnicity is the emergence of a new form of business known as the Property Management Company. It involves the management of real estate - be it the

Up From Neo Feudalism or Wage Slavery
Ideally, capitalism desires cheap labor and resources in order to increase profits or capital to the maximum. The primary motive is profit, regarding labor as expendable or replaceable since there is an infinite supply of slaves or workers. And it assumed there will be a infinite amount of natural resources to exploit, ultimately at the point of the gun, i.e., obtainable by warfare.
We can use the African slave trade as a recent ex

Current Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan is considered a rising star among many in the international community. Good luck seems to be the hallmark of his life.
He ascended to the presidency last year with the untimely death of his predecessor, Umaru Yar’Adua. Mr. Jonathan, a zoologist by training, is not your typical Nigerian politician.
Upon completing his education, he worked as an education inspector, professor, and environmental protection off

RAS JAHAZIEL --
Pan-African consciousness, racial allegiance, and sense of sacred historical obligation are the missing elements in every school, church, and university that Blacks have inherited from their slave masters and their colonizers. And it should not come as a surprise that the slave-master will not teach his slave how to escape. As should be expected he will only teach his slave how to be a better servant. Is it any wonder that the main spiration of the typical educated Black is to

This evening, Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour suspended their sentences -- handed down in the extreme and biased ruling of Judge Marcus Gordon that condemned each of the women to double life sentences for an $11 robbery.
The moment I landed in Jackson, Mississippi, Governor Barbour called to tell me about the suspension. And as I prepare to meet with him tomorrow, along with Derrick Johnson, President of the Mississ
Not since Eugene Sawyer succeeded the late Harold Washington has there been an African American Mayor of Chicago. The announcement by Mayor Richard M. Daly that he will not seek re-election after two decades in office would seem to open the doors for a well-positioned Black candidate to recapture the keys to City Hall. Though Rahm Emanuel, former Chief-of -Staff for President Obama, is seen as the front-runner, it would appear that an Afri
