The illusion of freedom: The police state is alive and well

( “All the crises and reforms (real reforms, too) so occupied the people that they did not see the slow motion underneath, of the whole process of government growing remoter and remoter.” — Historian Milton Mayer,  They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933-45 Brace yourself. There is something being concocted in the dens of power, far beyond the public eye, and it doesn’t bode well for the future of this country. Anytime you have an entire nation so mesmerized by the antics of the political ruling class that they are oblivious to all else, you’d better beware. Anytime you have a government that operates in the shadows, speaks in a language of force, and rules by fiat, you’d better beware. And anytime you have a government so far removed from its people as to ensure that they are never seen, heard or heeded by those elected to represent them, you’d better beware. The world has been  down this road before . We are at our most vulnerable right now. The gr...

Dr. Molefi Kete Asante

"In one instance the spread of Africans and Europeans to continents other than Europe and Africa helped to produce a world order that has reigned supreme in technology, science, economics, law, and sociology for five hundred years. It was, however, a racist construction created out of stolen land, broken treaties, stolen labor and broken backs. Any interpretation of the post modern views of the present world has to take into consideration that the entire discourse on the fluidity of cultures, the notion of subjective identities, the instability of social and cultural space, and the interaction and interpenetration of peoples is a direct result of the most massive forced movement of people the world has ever known (Cohen, l982). It becomes impossible to speak of the Americas or Caribbean without Africans or indeed Europe without Africa. One cannot speak intelligently about Portugal and its history without Brazil or without Angola and Mozambique; this is an incredibly interco...

Paul Robeson

Paul Robeson was a famous African-American athlete, singer, actor, and advocate for the civil rights of people around the world. He rose to prominence in a time when segregation was legal in the United States, and Black people were being lynched by racist mobs, especially in the South. Born on April 9, 1898 in Princeton, New Jersey, Paul Robeson was the youngest of five children. His father was a runaway slave who went on to graduate from Lincoln University, and his mother came from an abolitionist Quaker family. Robeson's family knew both hardship and the determination to rise above it. His own life was no less challenging. In 1915, Paul Robeson won a four-year academic scholarship to Rutgers University. Despite violence and racism from teammates, he won 15 varsity letters in sports (baseball, basketball, track) and was twice named to the All-American Football Team. He received the Phi Beta Kappa key in his junior year, belonged to the Cap & Skull Honor Society, and gradu...

“…for 500 years we have lived in a European-conceived intellectual universe. I am willing to acknowledge that i am influenced by this conception, but I am, at least, at war against it because i realize that it is not only detrimental to my people, it is detrimental to the whole world.” — John Henrik Clarke

Shout Out To Black Men In America

I wanna give a shout out to black men in America. The struggle of just being who you are. Living in this country that's not set up for you to succeed. Having to walk down these streets not knowing how your day will end up. Not knowing if you will be alive or hoping that you don't get locked up when you get pulled over. Being brainwashed to think that the life that your living is ok. Sagging your pants, calling each other nigga, disrespecting females by calling them bitches etc. Some of you don't know or want to know your history. You should, maybe you will change. My heart really goes out to you. When you look at people you have to take a psychological approach so you can understand why people are the way they are. Just because I understand it doesn't mean it is acceptable.  Change the way that you think and then you can make changes in the world.  Females we need to support our men. We need to respect ourselves. We need to encourage them to do the right thing. When ...
