I recently saw a documentary of the Black Panther Party that aired at the E Street Cinema in Washington, DC. It was the most compelling and accurate portrayal of the organization that I have seen. Many have sought to demonize the young Black activists and their efforts have gone largely unrecognized. The documentary is a collection of news clips and interviews with authentic voices. It puts to rest the contention that the Black Panther Party was a terrorist organization and/or a hate group. I

People fuss and complain and make long videos warning us about the so-called New World Order. I say, it ain't new!! Anytime a group of people can change the time on the clock and effect the entire world's bio-rhythm, now that's some power. I know that everyone in the "whole world" ain't changing their clocks, but if they don't change, and they have to interact with those who do, they still have to make an adjustment on some level. Now, that's power.

Though no votes have yet to be cast, the biggest loser of the 2016 presidential election cycle is by far the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ). Those who follow my columns know that I have been extremely critical of my Republican Party and our presidential candidates for rarely, if ever, engaging with the Black press. I have an equal amount of criticism for NABJ. Make no mistake about it; they are a liberal organization, with very liberal leadership. I have |

China's Second Continent: How a Million Migrants Are Building a New Empire in Africa
Howard W. French
Over one million Chinese citizens have moved to Africa in the last two decades, where they have established a wide array of businesses, from small farms to large construction companies. In this perceptive account, backed by numerous and o
This is an exceptionally long article. It might be easier to print and read it over breakfast, or at bedtime.
This article is geared toward people who seem to continuously find themselves in adversarial situations, or as sometimes coined, "Stuck in the revolving door of the judicial system." In many instances, an individual finds him or herself stuck in the system, in large part because of whom they continue to associate with. Be aware, your friends may not have your best interest at heart.

Giovanni Gambino and Richard Pryor, Jr. collaborate on timely, hard-hitting tale of racism and police injustice. Author Giovanni Gambino, together with Richard Pryor, Jr., have penned an emotional page-turner of a story that is as relevant today as it's ever been. "Guilty By Color" examines the effects that institutional prejudice can have on individuals, a phenomenon that the late comedian Richard Pryor experienced firsthand. "Guilty By Color" is available at Barnes & Noble and available today
By Chris ThompsonAnyone familiar with the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Islands knows that hurricanes are NOT fun. Furthermore, if you live in these areas, you know, first-hand what you're dealing with as you see that dreaded storm heading off the West coast of Africa. Just talking about the "checklist" puts my stomach in knots; everything from the preparation, boarding up the windows, grocery shopping, to the aftermath: clean up. Let's not even get into the amount of snakes, rats and oth
I have been absent from this blog for the last month. Hard to believe, but it’s true and I apologize to those of you who look forward to my weekly posts. I have a good excuse though; I’ve been teaching a group of young ladies that have given me a run for my money. Call them young female millennials. 
These young women are outspoken, opinionated, oppositional and hard to love. Many of them have dysfunctional relationships with their mothers – they have said “I hate my mom”, don’t respond well to r
[By Cynthia McKinney] Why is FBI Whistleblower Sibel Edmonds Boiling Over Former Speaker Hastert’s Plea Deal? She’s Launching a Campaign to Blow the Cover Off the Cover-Up!
Former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) whistleblower Sibel Edmonds, founder of Boiling Frogs Post, is boiling mad these days and has launched a campaign to blow the cover off the cover-up of powerful criminals, including pedophiles, operating at the highest levels of the United States government. The ACLU” calls her
As mentioned in one of my preceding article, "Recently released from Prison? You don't need a Job, You Need a Break!" many people have an innate need to want to help you.
When people help another person, the brain releases endorphins, which are produced by the central nervous system and pituitary gland. It consists of two parts: endo- and -orphin; these are short forms of the words endogenous and morphine, intended to mean "a morphine-like substance originating from within the body."

After serving in the Georgia Legislature, in 1992, Cynthia McKinney won a seat in the US House of Representatives. She was the first African-American woman from Georgia in the US Congress. In 2005, McKinney was a vocal critic of the government’s response to Hurricane Katrina and was the first member of Congress to file articles of impeachment against George W. Bush. In 2008, Cynthia McKinney won the Green Party nomination for the US presidency.

WHAT IS A BRAID?

The braid is normally long and narrow, with each strand functionally equivalent in zigzagging through the overlapping mass of the other strands.
Braiding has been around for thousands of years and may be used in a variety of ways. African tribes braided hair as a sign of cultural significance, f

The Rivers State chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, has expressed shock over how the Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] has launched out on large-scale smear campaign on the Nigerian judiciary following the recent court pronouncements that appear not to favour the PDP and their candidates at the various election petition tribunals especially the Akwa Ibom State and Rivers State governorship election petition tribunals.

Often, when we discuss the African freedom struggles during the 1960s and 1970s, the discussion centers around the struggles, achievements, and people who were active in the Civil Rights Movement. During the same time, there were many other movements. One was the Black Power Movement. A number of leaders in that movement remain unsung heroes. In the following articles I will present twelve (12) African Americans Leaders in two parts. The first part will be a summary of their organization. The se
