It’s already been documented that Kavanaugh has lied under oath at least five times in past and current Congressional proceedings. He’s probably got a lot to lie about and much more to hide. That’s why a million pages of documents has been assembled—a record for a judicial nominee.
Whether it’s Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896 or U.S. Department of Justice v. Ferguson, Missouri in 2016, the judicial system has been a double-edged sword for…

Patriarchy places men at the center of life, and women at the periphery. It suggests that women do not matter. It allows for the subjugation of women when they attempt to enter public spaces that have previously been earmarked as “male” spaces.

It’s in the American culture: this bowing of the unfree to the Master’s perspective. And you think it’s only sitting on Pennsylvania Avenue. That guy is not alone because he has his cabal of Wall Street cutthroats and white supremacist ideologues.
And their children disappeared too: divvied up as war booty, called by other names, emptied of memory, they became little slaves for the murderers of their…

These black Americans represent and embody change, more specifically the exchange of, knowledge, wealth, money, influence and societal clout from one white hand to a hand of color . . . with a fresh manicure of course. Don’t nobody want to grow-up to be Kid Rock, Ted Nugent or Donald Trump, for they represent and embody all that is right-wingedly wrong with America.
Last century, back in the 1960’s and 70’s, when I was a mere lad growing-up in the 213, South Central LA, there were, let us say…

The Creative Force of the universe has endowed us with the capacity to make great contributions to the world. A simple inspection of the ancient Nile Valley civilization of Kemet (Egypt) should inspire all African people to respect their history and to hold themselves in high esteem.
The current crisis in America and the world requires that we as African people take a deep reflective look at our condition in light of the…
