Listening to conscious black talk radio programs as I often do, I am struck by the frequency with which callers, and occasionally even the guests, make statements about what “we” need to do about some issue of concern to black people. Invariably, actions they call for would require that “we” be organized as a prerequisite to any potential success; thus my question: How do “we” expect to accomplish anything that requires “us” to become

Africans have struggled for freedom since the beginning of their enslavement. According to Robinson et al. (1987), African Americans have revolted since the beginning of their enslavement, throughout their enslavement, post slavery, and the Jim Crow period; and, efforts continue in present times. One of the latest activist groups is the Black Lives Matter Movement. When looking at this new movement, there are a number of similarities between it and the Black Power Movement. I shall examine so
Netanyahu versus Obama
There is no question about it. The Iranian deal pits the Prime Minister of Israel against the president of America. Just who is deciding American foreign policy? The answer should be obvious. Who does Senator Schumer have allegiance to, Netanyahu or Obama? Senator Schumer is the new Lieberman. I expect in every instance of a dispute between Obama and Netanyahu, Schumer will side with Netanyahu.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation's largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today said that an Oklahoma survival equipment store has joined the growing number of businesses nationwide that have declared themselves "Muslim-free."
CAIR also questioned why, despite repeated requests for action, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has remained silent on the "clearly illegal" religious ban, which the Washington-based group compared to "whites only" businesse
By I MustafaIn the UK, there has always been a constant discussion about the difficulty of obtaining your full driving license. Some will declare that anyone can pass and was much harder 'back in my day', while others will shout from the rooftops that it must be the hardest driving examination in the world, and it is a wonder anyone can pass at all. However, while the UK is high on the list in terms of difficulty, there are many more treacherous tests around the world that are designed to pu

A clear example of Black Leadership Failure at every level one year later after the murder of Michael Brown.

Republican Presidential Debate
I will not be watching the Republican presidential debate on Fox News tonight. First of all, I do not watch Fox News because it is unfair and unbalanced. Actually I am reluctant to watch any political debates. The participants are so practiced and rehearsed to spin an answer to the expected range of questions. Just don’t forget your lines. Under thes conditions even G.W. Bush looked good. Even if some unique question arises, it is avoided by diverting the response
By Danielle RossBoyz N the Hood is a classic African American film that can be critically analyzed through the lens of race and gender issues in the media. The first thing that I noticed when watching the film through such lens was the usage of common signs throughout the film that were found on the street and around the neighborhood. These signs served as a visual reinforcement to the paths that these young kids were on in the neighborhoods in which they grew up.
For example, immediately af

As previously noted, Seth Hayes finally began to receive medical intervention for both his Hepatitis C and poorly-managed diabetes roughly a month ago. This development is no doubt thanks to many people who made calls on his behalf. Unfortunately, Seth is still suffering from undiagnosed and untreated chronic bleeding and abdominal growths. Many calls have been made to Health Services in regards to these conditions that warrant urgent assessment, and the
