African America ministers/leaders have yet to recognize the glaring biblical similarities and parallels between the former Secretary of the United States Condoleezza Rice and Queen Esther from The Holy Bible's, Book of Esther.Queen Esther and the former Secretary of State have something very biblical in common, both women were appointed for such a time as this. Black ministers/leaders without the benefit of "divine" defined intelligence can't make the spiritual connection.African Americans and b

Dear Mrs. Obama:
It is with highest homage and admiration to you that I write this letter. I am the Northeast Regional Representative, and Board Member, for the National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America. The Reparations Movement, of which N’COBRA is a member, implores you to start a national dialogue on a reparations accord for Blacks in America. This national dialog must be firmly rooted in the historical context of the “trans-Atlantic slave trade, and the “holocaust” of African

March 26, 2009Raynard JacksonLast year, President Barack Obama ran the closest thing to a perfect campaign ever seen in this country. There was no senior level turnover during the campaign. There was no public feuding from various factions within his campaign (unlike Hillary Clinton’s). Even the transition was extraordinarily smooth.So, I am dumbfounded by all the drama surrounding the early days of his presidency. Seems like Obama went from a serious drama to a sitcom in short order. When he ma

Before the current Government of National Unity, proponents of the theory of exclusive governance were of the belief that an MDC government in Zimbabwe would signal the end of Zimbabwe’s economic quagmire. This was premised on the assumption that once MDC gets into power, western governments particularly USA would pour economic aid into the government’s coffers. Today, we are wallowing in the realisation of the painful truth about the basic rules of engagement with these countr

On 21 March 1960 at least 180 black Africans were injured (there are claims of as many as 300) and 69 killed when South African police opened fire on approximately 300 demonstrators, who were protesting against the pass laws, at the township of Sharpeville. The Sharpeville Massacre, as the event has become known, signaled the start of armed resistance in South Africa, and prompted worldwide condemnation of South Africa's Apartheid policies.

1. What is Feminism?Good afternoon. We will begin by defining feminism.Feminism is humanism. That is, feminism as a political and a social movement is a humanist movement. It is one of the more crucial strands within a collective history of liberation struggle here in America. Along with Unionism, the Amerindian and First Nation struggles, the Black liberation struggle, the anti-war movement, the ethnic rights struggle, the free speech movement, the sexual liberation struggle, the socialist move

Dr. Rodney Coates:
When was the last time that you cried for the abused?
Was it then, that you saw that their plight was your concern?
Or did their plight become your problem to discern
Manipulate, transform, or perform some statistical,
Analytical, non-practical deliberations upon -
When was the last time that you decried the crimes?
Insanity, then masking as repetitious diatribes against
The sanity of those trapped in the studies that lost
All connection with the people whose problems were

Dear Kwasi
Greetings
Trusting this finds you in good spirits.
Few Africans, outside of east Africa have much understanding of the Sudan
issues. I met last week the Special Advisor to the Namibia Foreign
Minister/President, to discuss Sudan. I noted that his was the standard
OAU/AU view, which is determined by the geo-political considerations
of east Africa. He knew little, nor cared much in my view, about the situation
of Darfurians, yet he partook in the Abuja Talks on peace for Darfur.

I have been to the cross roads here in the western hemisphere. So I am familiar with the dilemna the people of the Sudan are now facing. As an individual I can only talk from the heart. We face the same dilemna here in the West as you the people of the Sudan are facing now. Unity or Separation. For it not to be a dilemna anymore we should understand both unity and separation. Here in the West it has always been separateness, that is what the whole civilization is built on be in in corporations,
