“I didn't take my go-kart out of the house until Mr. Batt came home. He couldn't push me. It was everything for the nurse to bring him out to his porch for some sun. A few weeks before he died, he said their are no black people or white people and no really below: lynching of 16 year old, Lige Daniels in Texasgood people or really bad people. Just people. He told me about his father who'd been lynched by hateful white men, because his father chose to party with Black people. Back then I didn't uRead more…

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. Europeans came to America freely with a design of a new way of life in their hearts and minds." 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

Anyar Ngang Alith:I have been contemplating about writing this topic for a long time. But something keeps me from writing it. One of the days I went to bed at 12:00 midnight and I dreamt in my sleep that South Sudan had declared unilateral independence, and it had been recognized by a dozen nations in the region and internationally.So when I awoke there was no such news, and I guess my brain was screwed.Now what? I would get into my favourite subject of all subjects in the world of politics toda

They told me "He hate you Niggah! Can't you see."Carrying a rusted old hammer with a splintered pommel, wrapped in melting, sticky, black, electrical tape and a bucket of bent and twisted nails, I walked up the street toward the stack of boards and bent baby coach wheels, imagining I'd be like one of the kids on Bill Cosby's "Dead Man's Hill" from the album "Wonderfulness". (*tangent)- I don't know how many times I stole it from my dad or how many times he'd take the record off the spindle, put

From The RampartsJunious Ricardo StantonFood For ThoughtProjection: attributing one own traits, attitudes or faults to others. - Dictionary of PsychologyThe reaction by the Obama administration to North Korea’s launch of a satellite borders on psychosis given all the satellites the US, its’ allies and supposed adversaries have currently orbiting the planet. I suspect the US conniptions about North Korean launching a satellite using an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) is nothing more tha

I am asking every BLACK MAN I know to please
answer this question.
Printed in RED is Troy Johnson's response to the furor over Puff Daddy's recent Casting CALL requesting "White, Latina and Light-Skinned African-American Models" only fo his new ads.

Prior to and since the first landing of the ship of enslavement, Africans were forcefully conditioned, their reasoning inverted, causing their perception and reality to be mangled and twisted. Europeanized and Americanized Africans are de-capitalized by White America’s unjust-enrichment from the holocaust of enslavement. Enslavement of Africans as chattel property was about more than economics.According to Dr. Maulana Karenga, African enslavement must be defined as holocaust. By holocaust he mea

April 9, 2009Raynard JacksonSome people say dreams are for those that sleep; but dreamers have the ability to build worlds others cannot see.Republicans constantly talk about the “American dream,” but never define what that dream is and how their policies can help that dream become a reality. They constantly use the mantras of: less government, more individual freedom, lower taxes, etc.The Obama administration and the current financial crises present a great opportunity for Republicans to define

September 25, 2008Aletia;I have more to say, about the sort of persons who have lately (in the past twenty years) gravitated toward ‘managing’ our universities. The faculty have their own problems; with commitment, energy, and even with sometimes inadequate levels of teaching skill, but a larger problem is to be found among the burgeoning ranks of so-called ‘administration’, which is becoming noticeably and dangerously bloated, with no corresponding growth in ability, in feeling for the art and

September 15, 2008Aletia;I read your last letter during a union council meeting, which is still going on. At the moment Bryan is talking; he’s like a pit bull—really chewing into some issue or other, and thank the gods Ogun and Obatala that we’ve got him as union organizer to do that for us. I have my laptop with me. I loved your letter and I’m taking a break to write back right now because later I’ll be too busy—I’ve been buried under work. In addition to teaching, I’m writing; finally getting
