Black History, R. I. P.?

by Dr. Pamela D. ReedNow that Barack Obama is President of the United States, why don't we just pretend that America wasn't built on slaveholding?If the spate of recent "post-racial" articles suggesting that we need no longer commemorate the African American struggle for freedom and equality in this country is any indication, this seems to be where we're heading.This is a classic case of the phenomenon called selective history/memory, or as some have termed it, historical amnesia.We've been bomb

May 7, 2009Raynard JacksonThere is a strange irony between the Republican Party and the auto industry. Both are bankrupt through terrible leadership who made bad decisions. Now, those decisions that were made years ago are coming back to bite both groups.The Republican’s adoption of the “Southern Strategy,” which basically ceded the Black vote in order to get the white vote, is the starting point for the party’s demise. In the short term, the strategy was a great success (it gave Republicans 4 p

On Friday May 22nd Saturday May 23rd, and Sunday May 24th an historic conference will be held in Atlanta Georgia. Besides serious education, the primary purpose of the conference is to unify disjointed Black activists, organizers and leaders around a universal agenda of Black Power. The 2009 National Black Power Conference is also an effort to consolidate a Black or African United Front (ie: Black Power Movement) to combat immediate and pressing problems in the Black Nation.

Richard M. Williams, Ed.D. Barack Obama's election to the presidency is historical, not magical. The spirit of his plight can be and must be shared. He has pulled up his pants of preparation and tightened his belt of commitment and action. We can, and we must do the same. Let's pull up our pants (literally) and tighten our belts (literally). Let's change our symbol of success. We have allowed the symbol of incarceration (pants with no belt) set the style of our image. When we think of incarc

From The RampartsJunious Ricardo StantonThe Niggerization of African People“The process of turning a beautiful Afrikan infant into a mere caricature of her/his genetic self in but a few years of exposure to AmeriKKKa’s devilishly designed environment and their backward exploitative culture is deadly. How is this done with the swiftness, you may ask? Easily, we are the bridge to our children’s madness. We are the willing conductors to alien insanity that we ourselves could not escape. In our vani

Not all opf those wyas of seeing are productive, though every single one of them is in the end, rat

THE FIRST HUNDRED DAYS are over, and what have we got to show for having put Barak Hussein Obama in that chair behind Kennedy's old resolute desk, at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? Has Darfur been dealt with? Have we altered our despicable policy of unquestioning support for (or is that iron-fisted control of) Israeli aggression and brutality toward Palestine? Is the nearly fifty year, criminal embargo against Cuba lifted, and are we looking to stop (or is that stop profiting from) Rawanda-style geno
