The Piling it on Theory--Why Kanye and not John Mayer???

When some people do things they are just dead wrong. Their actions can not be defended. However, when African-Americans commit an egregious act, many Whites may wonder why the Black community rallies to their defense. It is not that the Black community condones or approves of these actions, but rather it has to do with the modern day phenomenon called: Piling it on. To put this theory to the test look at the Kanye West ordeal and the John M

Brother Marvin,

I'm reading your poem today at the Malcolm X & Islam Today event this afternoon at the Schomburg. I think it hits the spot on what we want to discuss at the forum.

We can rest assure that Brother Malcolm is proud of you today... carrying on his legacy of revolutionary spirituality for resistance and struggle.

Case Study: Tiger Woods and the Mythology of Dick

Tiger Woods is a case study in the addiction to white supremacy mythology. For sure, we cannot understand the mythology of pussy or the mythology of dick until we place them within the construct of white supremacy mythology, the patriarchal ideology of domination and ownership.

Only within this context can we understand the need to possess females as sexual beings or chattel rather than spiritual beings. It is beyond the imagination of Western man

Parable of the Fire

There was a pile of weeds in the backyard. They were an eyesore to the neighborhood. People complained until the man in the white house decided to burn them down. He lighted the pile of weeds and they began to burn. Then a wind came and started blowing the embers into the field nearby. The man saw he could have a problem if he didn't do something quickly, so he grabbed the water hose and began sprinkling water on the pile of weeds. He put water on the top of the pile and the f

The Psycho-linguistic Crisis of the North American African

4/16/98

I have long wanted to discuss language problems relating to the psychology of the oppressed. Let's begin with the notion that the oppressed is a disoriented person suffering symptoms of amnesia: he is not quite sure who he is, where he is, where he came from or where he is going.
We know to a great extent he was stripped of his cultural trappings and forced to don the apparel of the so-called negro, for American slavery wou

Can you imagine Michael Jordan seeking advice on basketball from a ping pong player, or Tiger Woods seeking advice on his golf swing from a rugby player, or Bill Gates seeking advice on technology from a Buddhist monk?

Even Hollywood, with all its creative energy, could not have come up with such a script. Even if they did, no one would believe them. They would be run out of town. But, what would you say if I told you of a real life story that seems just as ridicul

Broken Systems, Broken Minds

What we perceive as reality is most often a reflection of imagination, of mythology and ritual, or simply the mind of man is the macrocosm, reality the microcosm. Systems thus reflect the mind of man--did not someone say creations only reflect the mind of the creator. Broken systems, therefore, originate in broken minds. Yet we wonder why systems are broken, e.g., school system, political system, economic system, religious and moral systems.

But systems are not the pro

Madam Christian Crusader, Hillary Clinton, is making her rounds of Middle Eastern quisling nations to tighten the grip on Iran, the Shia Islamic nation that is expanding power from the Tigress and Euphrates to the Mediterranean. The Sunni Nations, along with the Zionist entity and the US Crusaders, have every intention to block Iranian military and ideological power, whether she has nukes or no nukes.

Those who want to stop the war in Afghanistan – not to mention, Yemen, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, and... and..., are people who want to score a home run and not run the bases. They are are willing to shore up the dam with their fingers in the crack. They are walking about unseeing the elephant in the room and they are definitely afraid to tell the Emperor that he has no clothes.

Enough enough enough
of rain and pain sand and shore
enough bloody rivers flowing to sea
enough of you and me
moving breathing but going nowhere
enough living
yet not loving
standing still in the light
yet darkness all around
enough enough of ignorance
beating down wisdom of ages
sun in wind
stars at window
fear of the mothershipe enough
mothership the mind of men who think as one
move beyond space to better place
sun and time a dance moving the world
enough
talk to me right

Neocolonialism:

The Third World Conference at UC Berkeley

The revisionist neocolonial elite students and faculty at UC Berkeley are celebrating the forty years since the Third World Strike to establish Black and Ethnic Studies. While the theme is decolonialism, it appears from the program outline that the black students and faculty who led the struggle for human rights at UCB have been marginalized and all other ethnic and gender groups are playing a major role. While we know blacks have indeed be

The Dick and the Gun

In contrast to the Mythology of Pussy and the power therein, here we speak of the dick as the ultimate symbol and instrument of power, yet difficult to describe in its vicissitudes. Perhaps if we equate the dick with the gun, we can imagine its awesome power, for together they share the power of life and death. From them come the life and death of the breathing world. For sure, pussy has the power of life as well, although only of late ha
