Obama, like Mandela, is/was a trump card. They were both elected to quell the righteous indignation of the Black masses, and to lull them back to sleep; they gave false legitimacy to illegitimate and corrupt systems. These men don’t represent change, but a greater entrenchment of the standing power structure. If Africans in America had a global African World View, they would have been over the thrill of the ‘Black man in the Big...
I’ve noticed the proliferation of sites and pages dedicated to the absurdity of poor and uneducated Black folks. Their choice in clothing, the filth of their homes, their dietary choices, their levels of illiteracy, etc; it’s all out there. I’m still waiting for a Black site critiquing the absurdity of capitalism and Global White Supremacy. The one that highlights the madness behind destroying the environment for a quick buck....

Taking such positions as; “that’s just the way the world is,” or “it’s all about dollars, if you ain’t got money, then you can’t do nutthin,” or “you just gotta worry about you and yours, and let the world take care of itself,” is not a sign of maturity, or coming to terms with reality; it is pure surrender. People make defeatist statements, and repeat tired cliches when they meet...

Who stood by (and even participated) when thousands of Black men were lynched to protect her purity? Who has never been drafted to fight in a war, or watch their sons suffer from mass criminalization and incarceration? Who has the largest voting demographic in this nation,...
The violence that plagues our community right now is a result of the whole ‘love thy enemy’ philosophy. They only way to love thy enemy is to 'hate thy self.’ We are absorbing the violence and hostility that others have generated within our children. We have deified a man who told us to allow others to spit on us, beat our women, bomb our churches, and murder our children in cold blood. We were told that we gained all that we...
The only way for corrupt civilizations to subdue humane civilizations is through sheer brutality, not superior intellect or even superior technology; but superior aggression. Western Civilization is nothing more the high-tech barbarism.
All Pan-Africanist, Black Nationalist, and African-Centered organizations need to make environmental restoration, peak resources, and climate disruption central to their organizational efforts.
