Life of struggle has been my only known reality
From conception, my life has been one battle after another
Birth and growing up introduced me to impoverishment
As I adjusted to impoverishment I realised that I was also oppressed and landless
Enslavement, colonialism and apartheid marked my total African experience and reality

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

  KPFK Radio, 90.7 FM in Los Angeles (also heard in Santa Barbara, San Diego and Ridgecrest/China Lake) has the strongest radio signal west of the Mississippi River. As such, it is highly coveted by lots of folks on "The Right," "The Left," and "In Between." Many of those who claim to be on "The Left" could actually be considered on "The Right" - their class privilege along with their white supremacist world views, sense of entitlement and belief in a right to c

Chris-Thompson_2048419.jpgBy Chris Thompson | For leaders to succeed, they must have a vision. Visionary leaders must have the ability to envision their desired future and have the capability to take action in order to execute what they have planned within their home business blueprint. Leaders who do not have a vision are incapable of bringing development to themselves or provide business coaching to those surrounding them. Visionary leaders know the best time to sit back and wait instead of making spontaneous, hasty de

Written by Dr. Oluyemi Olawaiye
I have battled with the idea of writing this article for over 3 years, but only got the needed incentive yesterday in the form of an extremely shallow, misinformed, inaccurate, deceptive and downright misleading documentary I watched on You Tube about how Nigeria was this drastically rising economic super power within the continent of Africa, and was going through this

It is a particular rub for me in this case as this is a subject that I have explored, studied, understood it pros and cons across

standard.jpgThe Media gave us Bill Cosby, a relatively unknown comedian who reached meteoric stardom. They made Bill Cosby and gave him certain privileges that they would not give to any other Black man during the 60's & 70's and like Fred Sanford would tell us, if the white man is doing it than it must be right. Remember how he wouldn't go to a black dentist? Well, during that time we too were struggling if we could trust a Black professional "anything" over a white one. Once Cosby was sanctioned by "white

Irritated Genie on Bill Cosby & NBC

by Nana Baakan  Jan. 14, 2016

Why do people think that if Bill Cosby had NBC that would make him more powerful. Come on Folks!! NBC????

What makes folks think that that is power? And what makes people think that if he got it and did all that stuff that folks think the Powers that Be don't want him to do, that he would be successful? A take down is a take down and they don't care what kind of Psuedo power you have. Besides, it's commerce... people really don

NB Commentary: Hmm, he got 31 years... I guess you could call that easy if you ain't going to jail. And you definitely don't know about jail house justice when it comes to killing women, rapists and pedophiles.
He probably plea bargained so he wouldn't get life, but 31 years may as well be life. It could very well be about race, but for some reason, I don't get the sense it is. And at risk of sounding like an apologist, some stuff is just what it is. He plea bargained, he got his mom off end of s
