Glen Ford As far as the “Top 10,” I can’t really call it, so I just listed 10, but I’m not saying they are the...
Cooperatives can take many forms and adopt many start-up methods, from collective funding, to traditional bank loans.My advice on the front end is solid documentation and record keeping; and make sure your core co-op members are properly vetted, and down for the long haul. Don’t allow your eagerness and enthusiasm to cause you to make mistake. Even though you are developing a cooperative enterprise you still have to operative in and...
If a man can’t protect something he is genetically and culturally obligated to protect it hurts him, so he has one of two choices: he must fight to gain the power to protect, or pretend that he doesn’t have that obligation, he must pretend that women are unworthy of his protection, that women are instead worthy of his scorn and objectification.

Charles Barkley: 'Brainwashed' blacks hold up successIt’s funny how New Negros complain about Blacks tearing down other Blacks while tearing down all Blacks.
Respect yourself and the community and starve these New Negros, Minstrels, and Ball Chasers of your attention and revenue.

Just like the Hyper Rich today, they are all parasites, and there’s no evidence that Mansa Musa was any different.No one, no matter how you value labor, inventions, or social contributions, no one had done a billion dollars worth of work, so to get to that billions you have to be sucking the bloodline of your society for more than your share. Let’s look at Bill Gates, the Riches man in this...
Mao gets such a bad rap. They love attribution millions of deaths to Communist leaders and parities, but it is a great distortion of history. Also, the Capitalist leaders and Systems have a body count that is higher and still growing; but we don’t hear about that. (See: Late Victorian Holocaust.) I think Mao was a better Revolutionary Freedom Fighter than a Statesman, but I still admire him and his historical contributions.As for as...
Che is complex, in his final guerrilla campaign in Bolivia, he violate many of the Revolutionary principles that made him successful, and that he taught in his writings and speeches; especially in his manual on ‘Guerrilla Warfare.’I fully respect Che’s contributions to humanity, and the lessons he left for we who continue to organize and struggle for liberation. I think Castro is one of these rare combinations of Warrior...
I don’t look down on Baldwin or Simone for their move, I don’t think they were accurate in their assertion that the French were less racist the the Whites in the US, they just manifested their Racism that was unfamiliar or more palatable for Black artist coming from the US. The French have a history of colonization, oppression, genocide, and racism that runs as deep as all the other imperial White nations. But I think Baldwin...
