Posted by TheBlackList on February 3, 2009 at 1:29pm

Runoko Rashidi Okello: Greetings Family, How are you? Things are okay on this end. I just spent five full days in and around New York City. I gave lectures in Harlem, Newark, Brooklyn, and White Plains. All of them went well. I also visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Natural History Museum, the Brooklyn Museum of Art and the Schomburg Library. I took some excellent photos that I hope to share with you over the months to come. And, on Sunday afternoon, I went to the borough of the Bron

Justice against Omar al-Bashier is long overdue!

Posted by BF Bankie on February 2, 2009 at 8:58am

Luke Kuth Dak:JAN. 27/2009, SSN; Most Sudanese people do not share Dr. Nafia Ali Nafia’s arrogant view that the embattled President of Sudan, Omar Hassan Ahmed al-Basher, is the most qualified man to rule the Sudan, a country with over 40 million folks.A quick look at his file tells us that nothing could be further from the truth that the claim by the his extremist followers has no chance to hold up it’s ground. After all, the man has no college education, and only a modest military training. Th

Around the Globe, Technology Widens Rich-Poor Gap

Posted by TheBlackList on February 1, 2009 at 7:38pm

Philip Emeagwali: Oil has made us billions and fuelled our economic stability, but oil has also become the bane of our existence. For some, it is a curse that has caused poverty and corruption, but for others it is an essential source of untold wealth and power. But as the gap between rich and poor countries continues to expand, it is clear that intellectual capital and technology rule the world, and that natural resources such as oil, gold, and diamonds are no longer the primary determinants o

Letter to Dr. King

Posted by Raynard Jackson on February 1, 2009 at 11:53am

In reading some of my previous columns, I ran across this particular one from January, 2005. I was quite stunned at the provocative words I wrote more than 3 years ago about many of the issues relative to our community. Of all the columns I have written over the years, this is by far my favorite one. As you read this, please keep in mind that it was 2005, Bush was president, Bill Cosby was being attacked, and the radical left Blacks (Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Julian Bond) were excoriating

John Maxwell: The British did not invent hypocrisy, they simply manage it better than anyone else. Americans, Israelis and Jamaicans appear to believe that euphemism and a tortured sort of ersatz gentility are adequate. Pity. Real hypocrisy should be attempted only by certified experts. And having toiled in a BBC newsroom for five years as a copytaster, I must be presumed to know whereof I pontify. The Director General of the BBC was last week caught out in an act of the most flagrant (and frag

Why I Write About Nigeria

Posted by Akintokunbo Adejumo on January 31, 2009 at 4:28pm

Several times I have had cause to question myself on the reason why I write (and indeed, worry) about my country, Nigeria, or why I feel like contributing to several issues relating to the country on websites, blog-sites, and what not. I do not consider myself extraordinary or different to most of my fellowmen or women or fellow citizens, or an intelligentsia or a philosopher. In fact, I am very much unknown and rather anonymous amongst Nigeria’s estimated 140 million citizens. And honestly, I’d

Brandon Brice: Last Sunday as I sat in the congregation of one of the most prestigious churches in Harlem, it mesmerized me to hear the praises, chats and applauses for President Barack H. Obama, as our nation’s 44th President of the United States. As a black man, it was an incredible moment in history to see someone who shared my same features, living on 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Interestingly, statistics show that a large majority of Americans feel that racism no longer exist, but fail to realiz
