Choice for change in America today

Is there any hope to use the 2 party system to in this country to change things in a real way for a better future for our children ?

If you feel that Wall street has bought both parties and limits our range of choices (and even the range of dialog on all issues by owning the media), if you think that Obama has done nothing to help most working and poor people, if you believe he has done nothing to change the course of US empire building in the world, then…

Gil Scott has past the great poet

credit: www.shannonmccollum.com I‘d just hung up the phone with a revolutionary sister/abolitionist in the fight against the death penalty, when my friend sent me the text that Gil Scott had passed. I literally gasped for air. I’m just home for New Orleans where i spent a weekend with one of my other fathers in poetry, Abiodun Oyewole and was able to hang and laugh with another one of my elders, Kalamu Ya Salaam. I remember years ago being on a panel… Continue

To my Nubian Malikia (letter to my sisters)

I love you and I need you. I’m writing you this letter because I have problems, and I can see no way of correcting them without your cooperation. Unfortunately you’ve been forced to carry more then your share of our burden. That’s not your fault, it’s mine. You see, you haven’t fully understood them. In order for us to successfully share the burden, we must understand our horrible past and see how that past has shaped our present. Only then can we… Continue

Earth Changes

  As you may have noticed, the weather is taking no prisoners.  We have been experiencing forces of nature demonstrating power that has not been seen on Earth for many years.  Is this natural?  There are two schools of thought. 1) The Earth is moving into an area of our galaxy which is being bombarded by gamma rays.  This is causing increased solar activity and, as a result, extreme changes…

Hotep, my distinguished colleague of scholarship and fame.  .  .  .  “What’s going on?” No one made it any clearer than Marvin Gaye’s iconic cry of the streets from the 70’s, during the Viet Nam era & the decade of hippies, “bell bottom pants & free love.”  While {your} Cornel West’s plea for some parity in “the hood” and among the working class is laudable,…

Is President Obama right on Israel/Palestine?

The following comes from David Duke's extremist and racist organization:



Dear DHFC Supporter,



The Obama administration's final betrayal of Israel has begun.



In case you missed, last Thursday's presidential address may well go down in history as the beginning of the end of the State of Israel. Never before has an American President so brazenly embraced the "Palestinian" cause; never before has an American President so contemptuously pushed Israel into a corner.… Continue

OUTLIER VIEW OF CONFLATING THE TRUTH

The president started out promising with hope and change in his campaign. When his opponent said he was giving the people false hope, the president digressed and said why he thought it was still “99 bottles of beer on the wall”. The changes will come even if one bottle of beer would fall. We got him as president, we had a majority in congress, a veto proof senate and an energetic public. What we got was spare change. Not even enough money to buy one bottle of beer on the wall or give to the guy… Continue

Don't Talk About It, Blog About It: FIVE DOLLAR A GALLON GAS

Dear Friend,



On Tuesday, 48 Senators, including Sen. John McCain and Sen. Jon Kyl, put Big Oil before the American people and helped defeat a bill that would have ended tax breaks for the five biggest oil companies.1



How could anyone vote against a bill that would have kept $21 billion of American taxpayers' money out of the pockets of cash-rich oil companies?



One big reason is oil money in our political process. A lot of it. Oil and gas companies spent $39.5… Continue

Black Boule?

 

 

  Dare we revisit this sensitive area of our existence? Who is, who isn't? How pervasive is it, or not? 

        What does Farrakhan have to say about it?

 

        What does Dr. West think?

        How about T. Smiley's thoughts on the matter?
