Libya: The Italian Occupation and the Libyan Resistance

In October 1911 the Italian fleet invaded Libya and the Libyans resisted the invaders with whatever little weapons they could get.

Major battles took place in Al-Hani near Tripoli (October 23, 1911) , Ar-Rmaila near Misrata, Al-Fwaihat near Benghazi (March 1912) and Wadi Ash-Shwaer near Derna. Other battles took place…

Will you respond to this challenge?

A conversation –

Between you and me



I write in order to preserve these thoughts in a way that you will understand.

Talk with me on these special subjects. Hear what I have to say, just you and me and our intellect.

Provide another point of view or agree with me. Help direct the future. Each of us has a hidden talent that can combine with others and make a grand statement. Together we can formulate a great thought. A principle to live by. A reason to labor, struggle…

"I am Joaquin"

"I am Joaquin"

By RODOLFO "CORKY" GONZALES

I am Joaquin,

Lost in a world of confusion,

Caught up in a whirl of a gringo society,

Confused by the rules, Scorned by attitudes,

Suppressed by manipulations, And destroyed by modern society.

My fathers have lost the economic battle and won the struggle of

cultural survival.

And now! I must choose between the paradox of

Victory of the spirit, despite physical hunger

Or

to exist in the grasp… Continue

The World As I See It

Peace and blessings my people,

 

     Emerging faster than a single blade of farm land grass are self proclaimed scholars and intellectuals that appear to have this entire thing (world) figured out. Everyday their is a new person with a new revelation of the direction of this nation of ours and the world around us.

 

     Maybe its just me, but the energy coming from all of these so called intellectual sources seem to be nothing but tension, hate, and disgust. No…

*All we need is love*

Love is under attack...why? God is Love.

When did it become taboo to tell the one you are with "I love you".

Why has love become a dirty word?

Is committment being confused for love?

The situation for many when it comes to jobs requires a program that targets certain demographics but unfortunately the courage to do this probably does not exist. Off of the top of my head a program to put a million of the hardest hit to work could be put together for about 40 billion dollars and the program would have instant collateral savings because it would take people off of assistance, reduce subsidies for public housing, and allow some to avoid prison. If you just try to stimulate the… Continue

What's Going On America?

It's August 8th, 2011 in the big news in politics is how the stock markets are plummeting and America being dropped from Triple A to AA+. This is so frustrating because when I think about the greatness we once had and about how this country use to be a place of innovation and of dreams. I no longer see that as being the America that we live in today. Instead of investing in a future for my generation and my children's generation we feel like we have to cut and cut. We once use to be a country… Continue

NOT CAUSE AND EFFECT BUT SOLUTIONS

With jobs scarce to none, if most incarcerated blacks that have not killed anyone were to be let out which jobs should they be allowed to take?  There should be some kind of consensus within black leadership and the communities of appropiate jobs for them that are not demeaning? Everyone cannot be barbers and beauticians. We can began by being be proactive instead of reactive.  Ideas anyone, anyone, anyone? Like the TV show - What would you do?

BLACK COMMUNITY CONGREGATIONS EVERYWHERE IS THE KEY IF WE WANT CHANGE

Since the time of slavery PEOPLE didn't like BLACKS congregating. They have always been fearful of it.

Not congregations of worship. Not organizations that charge a fee. Just the basic  congregating of blacks in every community. Be sure to invite the gang members or thugs of the community. That's important. In fact hand out free dashiki shirts to the black men and youths there. It represents that sense of pride. They will wear it as they see others began to wear…

from the Million Youth Peace March by Aqili

Two minutes, I’ve been given only two minutes; let’s work these two minutes as best as we can.  What I’ve seen today is another pledge being made by these two men right beside me holding the red and blue flags.  This is a very serious deal here; however, we cannot take this pledge and expect that and this situation will correct itself overnight. These two brothers have said enough is enough, now we must take this experience home to our communities.  We must start to understand the young…
