The Mis-Education of the Black Man

May 13, 2010

Raynard Jackson

In 1933, Carter G. Woodson published his classic book entitled, “The Mis-Education of the Negro.” The premise of his book was that Blacks need to be self reliant and not look for others to do for us what we can (and should) do for ourselves. Woodson thought that the dominant society was teaching Blacks to have an attitude of dependency and subservience, as opposed to controlling their own destiny and teaching their children the truth about the contributions Blacks made

Oakland's Laney College blackbourgeoisie administration demanded BSU leaders seize the mike fromMarvin X, poet, playwright, essayist and former instructor in the LaneyCollege theatre department. Seizing the mike was better than having mearrested by campus police as the administration did back in 1981 when Itaught theatre.

Marvin X was invited to Laney by BSU students tocelebrate Malcolm X. The theme was Malcolm X Beyond Militancy. BSUleaders briefed Marvin on w

Parable ofthe Reader's Theatre

We're looking good. I havesome thoughts on the Reader's Theatre, but the very concept of theatreis a communal experience or ritual. There is no way the individual cansurvive in theatre, even the greatest "one man show" is far from a oneman show--the "one man show" needs the technical crew, light man, soundman, director, stage manager, costume, make up, house man, promotionteam, advance man, bookkeeper, etc. So the

Constitutional Citizenship in America
By C. HerbertOliver
[U.S. Constitution]
April 30, 2010

What is the Constitutional citizenship status in America of persons of African-American descent?

Are we citizens? No, because the only part of the Constitution upon which our citizenship is supposed
to be based – the 14th Amendment – is itself unconstitutional.
According to the Constitution of 1787, amendments must be proposed by two thirds of the states in Convention and ratified by three fourths of the

Un pueblo a la luz de la oscuridad

En los Estados Unidos existe un sinnúmero de culturas viviendo bajo una
misma frontera. Culturas de diferentes países si no de todas las
naciones europeas, asiáticas, africanas, oceánicas, y por supuesto de
las naciones del resto del continente Americano.

En el pensamiento general Norteamericano, a los originarios del
continente europeo se les considera de manera unánime caucásicos; a los
asiáticos, orientales; a los del medio oriente, árabes; a los africanos,

Parable of Mother Coretta Scott King



Parable of Mother Coretta Scott King

I remember sitting in thepew of Riverside Church at the memorial for Dr. Betty Shabazz,
listening and looking at Myrlie Evers-Williams and Coretta Scott King
standing at the podium. I wondered at the great suffering they had
endured as a result of America assassinating their husbands, Malcolm, Medgar and
Martin.

The combined tragedies of Shakespeare, Macbeth, Othello,King Lear and Hamlet, cannot match the tragic dramas of these grand men
and women, and especially th

I was reading an article on Credit Repair Software - Know How to Use It and one of the things that stood out to me and I concur with the author vehemently in that:

"2.) Refer your problem to a credit repair agency - if you have decided against the investment in time it takes to do it yourself, you can get help from a credit repair agency. These, for a fee that's affordable, will take on the task of improving your credit. These businesses make use of credit repair software for the purpose of impr

Parable of the Religious Haters

There are haters in the hood. They hate you because they hate themselves, so their hatred of you is self hatred. Their actions to blockyou at every turn should be called hate crimes, including most of the homicidesby black on black persons, but only when a black kills a white is it declared ahate crime, so the killing of one black by another is nothing, of noconsequence, as we see in the freedom of the man who killed Malcolm X, one ofour greatest revolutionary hero

Black AIDS organizations, as well as some Black Clergy, Black politicians and Black sports figures have beenencouraging African Americans to take HIV tests and to take HIV/AIDS drugs. Inmaking these recommendations it is clear that these individuals and groups havefailed to research the debate over the validity of the HIV tests and whether HIVis really the cause of AIDS.

On the other hand, doctors, scientists and researchers for years have been challenging the HIV/AIDShypothesis. Fe

Someone came to our law office today, and asked one of our receptionists if we handled class action suits.

Being the professional that our receptionist is she asked the woman to have a seat.

At that time one of our students was called and asked if she would speak to the very upset woman, whose face looked as if she had been bitten by a bunch of mosquitoes.

After a free 45 min consultation, we referred the woman to lawyers whom our org works with, and whom we knew could

A Rolle Model

Raynard Jackson

Even non sports fans have heard of athletes like Terrell Owens (T.O.), “Pacman” Jones, Mike Tyson, O. J. Simpson or Ben Roethlisberger—for all the wrong reasons. But, I guarantee that most people have never heard of Myron Rolle.

Who is Myron Rolle? He is a recent Rhodes Scholar who is finishing his graduate degree in medical anthropology. He graduated from Florida State University (FSU) in 2 ½ years with a pre-medical degree in exercise science (with a grade point averag

Kwabena Akurang-Parry:

LET me state some caveats that my effort at interrogating the conclusions of Professor Henry Louis Gates does not mitigate the marginality and chattel nature that reconfigured the lived-experiences of enslaved Africans worldwide, nor does it exonerate slave-holding societies in Africa as well as some African states’ participation in the Atlantic slave trade. Second, I do understand Gates to mean that the blame for the Atlantic slave trade should be debited to both Africans

Parable of Pain

We sometimes look upon people from the outside only, never imagining what might be going on inside them, in the deep structure of their psyche, the pain and unresolved grief that may be lurking there, sometimes about to explode. We look at a woman and say to ourselves or to someone else how fine she is. She so fine I wish she was mine, but little do we know Miss Fine is a monster, a beast who has suffered much trauma in her life.

And it may not only be mental trauma but physical
