Bob Jones University reveres the Klu Klux Klan. According to the Bob Jones University American history textbook, "the [Ku Klux] Klan in some areas of the country tried to be a means of reform, fighting the decline in morality and using the symbol of the cross... In some communities it achieved a certain respectability as it worked with politicians."
Bob Jones University works with politicians, Republican politicians. It remains a regular stop for Republican presidential candidates along their cam

Friends:
I've seen the City of Baltimore at its best and its most challenged.
Baltimore's people know how great this city can be, but in the face of inaction and a lack of accountability, it's too easy to give up hope -- to resign yourself to thinking, 'that's just the way the city is,' that there's no turning it around.
I believe there is another way.
I am running to be the next Mayor of Baltimore because I believe Baltimore is a city of promise and possibility. And I want to ask for your supp

Marvin X: America's Rumi, Plato, Hafiz, Saadi
Ishmael Reed calls him "Plato teaching on the streets of Oakland." Bob Holman says, "He is the USA's Rumi!--the wisdom of Saadi, the ecstasy of Hafiz." Rudolph Lewis says, "A master teacher in many fields of thought. One of America's great story tellers. I'd put him ahead of Mark Twain!" James G. Spady writes, "When you listen to Tupac Shakur, E-40, Too Short, Master P or any other rappers out of the Bay Area of Cali, think

NB COMMENTARY: I really wanted to NOT be in this Beyoncé Madness, but the irony of it all is to see folks being offended by her antics to the point of calling it racist when in fact, if they took the time to read the lyrics, they would see the song is all about Beyoncé getting hers. With a smattering of some retorts against "whatever." The fact that she even uses this "so-called" Black Panther imagery, which in and of itself is a smack in the face of the movement, a downgrade at best in its pr
Beyonce and her Girl Gang
NB Commentary: I enter this discussion kicking and screaming and swearing to myself that I am not, and I mean, am not gonna fall prey to the hype. But today, I had to come forth with another blog post. I was compelled by the comments under many of the pictures posted of her and her girl gang at the Super Bowl and how some folks were actually seeing it as a Powerful Movement, a statement about Black Power, a high five to Malcolm X, and the insane indicators of it being a

Reclaiming Our African Mind
"When we talk about the so-called diagnosing of our people, it involves an analysis not only of the behavior of our people, but of the behavior of the society as a whole; and we must recognize this fact and face up to it as a people. Diagnosis then is not merely procedural or neutral.

Many a man have been known to take any and every chance to get out of prison, by hook or crook. Hardly has it ever happened that a person is offered an opportunity to get out of prison and they refuse to walk out. Such is the case of Kenny Doshane Motsamai, a member of the African People's Liberation Army, who has spent 27 years in jail for daring to fight against the apartheid regime and defend his fellow Africans from crimes against humanity being pe

My new book "Leave the Rat Race to the Rats" has just been released. This is my second book on the Goodwill Revolution.
About the book:
America boasts about its grand quality of life while the ghettos wallow in despair and neglect. The residents of these poor black ghettos must put up with conditions such as inferior education, slave wage jobs, high unemployment, no health insurance, high crime rate , unjust hostile policing, political impotency. My book, “Leave the Rat Race to the Rats”, is a
