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.

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.

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
