Ex-Black Panther Leader Elaine Brown Slams Stanley Nelson’s ‘Condemnable’ Documentary – The Daily Beast
As an aside, to answer any charge that my condemnation of this film arises from the fact that Nelson tossed most of his interview with me onto the cutting room floor, I note that my autobiography, A Taste of Power, my own Black Panther story, has never gone out of print and was just picked […]
Cecil the Lion, White Supremacy, and Speciesism | The Greanville Post • Vol. IX
In response to this apparent double standard Roxanne Grey joked that “I’m personally going to start wearing a lion costume when I leave my house so if I get shot, people will care.” There is some truth to her statements as the white American public seems much more concerned in bringing the dentist to justice […]
John Molyneux: Picasso and African Art
Underpinning much racist ideology is the notion that the development of civilization was basically a European or western phenomenon. In reality, civilization – living in cities, literacy, law etc. – developed first in three main areas, none of them in Europe: the middle eastern fertile crescent (Iraq to Egypt), northwestern India and southeast China. Moreover […]

Masculinity Is Killing Men: The Roots of Men and Trauma | Alternet
The emotionally damaging “masculinization” of boys starts even before boyhood, in infancy. Psychologist Terry Real, in his 1998 book I Don’t Want to Talk About It: Overcoming the Secret Legacy of Male Depression, highlights numerous studies which find that parents often unconsciously begin projecting a kind of innate “manliness”—and thus, a diminished need for comfort, […]
Black Folks, It’s Time To Stop Taking Care Of White Peopl | Shadow and Act
When are we going to have a ‘town hall on racism’ that addresses how a jury of women, predominantly white women (and mothers!), don’t identify with a black child? I need to know how that happened. I need to understand that. And I want white people to explain it to me. Before someone starts railing […]
Readers’ Letters: Bibi, Obama, UKIP and the Tories – Jewish News
Confusion over jews and zionism Dear Sir, It’s no use Roslyn Pine fretting that the line between anti-Semitism and anti-Israel activism has disappeared (Jewish News, letters, 12 March) while previously claiming it was deceitful for George Galloway to state that Zionism and Israel are different things from Judaism and Jewishness (Opinion, 12 February). How does […]
A Worker Reads History by Bertolt Brecht
Who built Thebes of the 7 gates ? In the books you will read the names of kings. Did the kings haul up the lumps of rock ? And Babylon, many times demolished, Who raised it up so many times ? In what houses of gold glittering Lima did its builders live ? Where, the […]

I’m tired of suppressing myself to get along with white people – Salon.com
“What’s happening in Ferguson?” one of my white roommates asked. “I heard some kid got shot or something like that.” The words clamored in my ears. How could he not know? Weren’t his Twitter, Instagram and Facebook feeds flooded with opinions and hashtags? I’m sure he meant nothing by his statement. We’re all ill-informed from […]
Freed from prison, but they’re still paying the price
A bill in the state Legislature would have made changes in Michigan,but it died last week for lack of support when the 2013-14 session came to a close early Friday. Those who did support the measure, Democrat and Republican, say exonerees deserve state-sponsored financial help. Even parolees in Michigan receive assistance with housing, medical care, […]
I Don’t Know What to Do With Good White People
In the wake of the Darren Wilson non-indictment, I’ve only deleted one racist Facebook friend. This friend, as barely a friend as a high school classmate can be, re-posted a rant calling rioters niggers. (She was not a good white person.) Most of my white friends have responded to recent events with empathy or outrage. […]
Jacques Derrida interviews Ornette Coleman / “Sound has a much more democratic relationship to information” » onlineJournal | The Liberator Magazine
Jacques Derrida: “The very concept of improvisation verges upon reading, since what we often understand by improvisation is the creation of something new, yet something which doesn’t exclude the pre-written framework that makes it possible.”Ornette Coleman: “…the idea is that two or three people can have a conversation with sounds, without trying to dominate it […]
Police Manhunts and Race: Eric Frein & Christopher Dorner By Cheryl Dorsey
This was very different from the Christopher Dorner manhunt which ended in a shootout and Dorner’s death. Very different from the confrontation and detention of accused jay-walker Mike Brown in Ferguson Missouri. This was not at all like the detention and capture of “reasonably suspicious” Ezell Ford in Los Angeles.As a retired Los Angeles Police […]

Whipping Is A White Slavemaster Behavior | NOI Research Group
Editor’s Note: If you can deal with seeing past the obvious anti-Jewish tones that appear in this work and have the ability to read it objectively, a really serious ppint is being made here.

Lee Jasper Official Blog: UKIP, the Metropolitan Police Service and high corruption .
She told me that when she joined UKIP, she assumed the accusations of racism, were just the overblown claims of a hostile press. However as the months passed she became increasingly concerned. Once she had read the draft of Gerard Battens UKIPs Charter for Muslim Understanding, Dismantling Multiculturalism, a rancid and deeply disturbing document, that […]
Message from Leonard Peltier 08/28/2014… – Friends of Peltier

Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, Benjamin Franklin all wrote down as to where they got the ideas and inspiration from. The main premise of the constitution being, you have the freedom to do anything you want as long as you don’t […]
Ferguson and Parallel Universes | The Nation
I expected a reasonable discussion in which Bohannon, a veteran broadcaster, would take a position to the right of one I had taken in this space on the topic of Ferguson. What I got instead was some perspective on the challenges of having such a conversation across race and political divides at moments like this, […]
#FERGUSON “HANDS UP, NO HAND GUN” JOHN BOYE FT. TALIB KWELI
Michael Brown was wrongfully targeted for execution in order to antagonize the black population in Ferguson to riot and create “Unrest” in order to further racial divide.

Gaza: el genocidio y sus sinrazones – Por: Atilio Borón
En medio del espanto y del baño de sangre que inunda Gaza se oye una voz, metálica, glacial. Pronuncia un soliloquio similar al que en su obra Enrique VI William Shakespeare puso en boca de Ricardo, un ser deforme, monstruoso, pero aguijoneado por una ambición ilimitada y orgulloso de su villanía: “Soy el espíritu del […]
