I don't know when you people were in the movement but these are elementary assessments of what will happen. In a nut shell, when they open the border, mercenaries (blackwater etc.) under the guise of visiting family, will make a rush to kidnap her and bring her back for the 1 million dollar bounty that Congress approved, with the vote of Maxine Waters, Obama and others in 2008. That will keep Obama and Amerikkka clear and free.

The New Assault on Assata Shakur:Will Obama Sell Assata Out?Paul ScottMost Americans are not familiar with Assata Shakur. After all, she's not exactly the type of black super hero that they parade around during Black History Month. This is the type ignorance that some legislators in New Jersey hope will allow them to extradite Shakur back to the US under the cover of our darkness.Assata Shakur (JoAnne Chisemard) was involved in a 1973 shootout on the New Jersey Turnpike that resulted in the deat

I'm sure you have heard it many times over and over. You would be in their same tax bracket if you had a dime for every time a Black person said "why won't Oprah, Bill Cosby, Denzel, Bob Johnson, Jay-Z, or any of the other rich celebrities and athletes work together to build or buy-out a company which would in turn create opportunities for the common members of the Black Community"?It doesn't take a Harvard Grad to figure out that if rich Black people pooled their resources, started or bought-ou

April 23, 2009Raynard JacksonPresident Obama’s recent foreign trips have generated quite a bit of reaction within our country. Having studied foreign affairs in graduate school and having done work in other countries, I have a somewhat different take than most Republicans, especially the conservative ones.First, I am extremely concerned by the rhetoric coming from a lot of the usual pundits and talk show hosts. It seems as though Republicans can’t accept the fact that we lost the election! It’s

I FIRST HEARD the haunting, beautiful song, "Olive Tree" (sung, I later learned, by a woman named Zhu Feng Bo), at the beginning of a rather quizzical online video posted by Christoph Rehage, called, "Time Lapse: Growing a Beard and Walking to Germany", which chronicles a long journey taken on foot.In the process of his long journey, although he starts out inside a room, clean shaven, Rehage grows a beard. The somewhat whimsical visual log he made of the journey, which I stumbled across while su

From The RampartsJunious Ricardo StantonIt’s Up To Us“We must give up the silly idea of folding our hands and waiting upon God to do everything for us. If God intended that He would not have given us a mind; He would not have given us intelligence; He would not have given us His Soul; He would not have placed us here in the midst of creation and surrounded us with all the beautiful things of nature. Whatsoever you want in life you must make up your mind to do it for yourself and accomplish it foRead more…

Black Jewish Relations Under Obama:Reopening Old WoundsPaul ScottApril 21st is Holocaust Remembrance Day, a day set aside to remember the the Jews who suffered under the Nazi regime. No one can fault an ethnic group for honoring the deaths of millions of its brothers and sisters. However, as a descendant of those who experienced their own African Holocaust I find myself, selfishly, asking "what about us ?"My feeling of unapologetic, self centeredness has become more pronounced in the aftermath o

End-of-the-world Amerikkka is crazy on ice, and far from heaven.And Black people (African Americans, Colored People, Knee-Grows, whatever we are this week) are unfortunately no exception. Americans have long enjoyed our tradition of being the mongrels of the other nations, from the Puritains to the Pilgrims, to the hordes of Europeans and Asians and Latins and latter day (non enslaved) Africans, to everyone else who has come here seeking freedom, money, power, or land. There is nothing wrong wit

April 16, 2009Raynard JacksonTalking with Black Republicans is a moving experience---the more I talk to them, the more I want to move away! The caricature of most Black Republicans is that they are not connected with the Black community and are constantly seeking the approval of the powers that be within the party.Well, I have been Black most of my life and would posit this question: “if Black Republicans were taken to a court of law and accused of being connected, involved and making a differen

Shameful U.S. Boycott Must Be Opposed
When the Obama administration announced it would boycott the upcoming UN Durban Review Conference in Geneva, designed as a follow-up to the 2001 World Conference Against Racism (WCAR) held in Durban, South Africa, news media insisted the boycott had to do with Israel. But a decision that has followed the boycott seems to indicate the second half of the Obama administration's demand -- that references to r

The gun and ship of enslavement["Like a machine it transformed the lives of Africans and Europeans alike.

Africans were kidnapped and shipped in chains with their life design already made, in the hearts and minds of Europeans. So terrifying was this technology that it forced Africans to worship Christianity/Jesus Christ."]The ruling classes of Western Europe were able to conquer the world between 1400
