The Durban Review Conference, which was held in Geneva, Switzerland generated a lot of buzz globally. This conference is of course, not a stranger to controversy. The first conference, which was called World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and related Intolerance, was held in Durban, South Africa in 2001, and it too was mired in controversy. At the center of the debate was language included in the document that singled out Israel and which resulted in

April 30, 2009Raynard JacksonThere is so much negative in our world that sometime we forget about the good that is all around and the God that is in good.A few weeks ago I was asked by Isaiah Washington (of Grey’s Anatomy fame) to help him with a fundraising dinner for his foundation, The Gondobay Manga Foundation. He established the foundation to help the people of Sierra Leone in West Africa. The dinner was held last week in Washington, DC and I was glad to play a small part.Isaiah has a true

When will it end? I'm talking about America’s full-court media pressure to have President Obama to reject everything with a Black context with links to the horrific one-way relationship of enslavement – master and slave. The selection of a church-home for a president’s family has never been under such public pressure.The media and the body-politic of America is forcing Obama to be a post-racial symbol, without embracing and engaging what it would actually cost to be post-racial, i.e., a)America’

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN PICTURES OF THE REMAINS OF SPERM CELLS THAT HAVE BEEN TORTURED TO DEATH?Most anti-abortion radicals have never seen a picture of a mis-spent sperm cell and when you try to show them one they recoil in horror and persnicketiness. One famous shouting ideologue called such pictures "a waste!!" But why so when fundamentalists and ideologues claim to have a set of absolutes by which to judge all actions taken by women as either right or wrong? Is not the deaths every day of billion

Ezrah Aharone:
During his European debut, a reporter in Strasbourg, France asked President Obama if he subscribes to the school of “American Exceptionalism” as did his predecessors. Being the first Black president and known as a uniter, the question weighs heavy in irony since America’s self-grandiosity is tied to military aggression and presidential legacies that are littered with unapologetic ethnic and cultural indifference. Although not a common term, African Americans should form long line

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.

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
