Holding
Rogue Prosecutors Accountable: It’s
past time to prosecute their crimes
The
jubilance of exoneration generally
blurs the criminality of the system
even when it’s the exposure of its
failures that sometimes lead to
exonerations.
21st
Century Black America: MisEducated
and Sleeping?
Critical
thinking,
common sense, and intellectual
honesty have been replaced by
absurd rationalizations and a
pathetic mockery of our common
sense.
Native American Voters
Exploited by Brown and Warren
The
campaign
has successfully latched on to
Warren’s claim of Native
American roots as a rallying tool to
deflect attention away from
pressing issues facing Massachusetts
residents, but also to attack, in
a more insidious way, the hotly
contested issue of affirmative action.

No Badge of Honor
We
need to see that these people are
human - and act less than such on too
many occasions.
Redistribution of

It
really does not take a nuclear
physicist to determine who’ll
succeed and who’ll struggle to

Open
Letter
to the Anti-War Movement By Raha:
Iranian Feminist Collective
and Havaar With an Introduction by
Bill Fletcher, Jr., BC Editorial
Board
A
regime that frequently uses
anti-imperialist rhetoric also
crushes
internal opponents, be they
ethnic minorities or political
dissidents.
The Iranian regime will preach
against the threats to Iran’s
sovereignty, but undermines
the right of workers to form
and join labor
unions.
Mind Damage and Dr.
Bobby Wright
The
decimation
and destruction of African lands,
bodies, minds, and spirits
over these 2,000 years is the basis
for our on-going struggle for

"The past is never dead. It's not even
past." - Nafsi ya Jamii By
Wilson Riles, BC Columnist
Obama,
emotionally, has difficulty holding
on to the past being present in the
now. He falsely wants to believe
that the future can start now, in
the
present, without any reengagement
with the past.

For
our August hiatus, we’ve prepared
something special for you,Ten
Years of BC: A Contemporary
History. This is recent
history as viewed through the
commentators ofBlackCommentator.com,
some of the best writers and thinkers
of our time.
What
were theBCwriters
saying in the run up to the 2008
elections? What were their concerns?
Have we as a country and a people and
the human race addressed them? What
themes continue today? What is
different and what has remained the
same?
As
events unfold, it is easy to see the
direction an issue has taken through
the lens of what has actually
occurred. For example, do you remember
when BCcommentators
called for Single-Payer, Universal
Health Care? There was a time when
that was the direction the US could
have taken. What you will read will
give you insight into how we may yet
make it a reality in the US.
Ten
Years of BC: A Contemporary
Historydelves
into the plight of working people; the
continuance of war and the prospect
for peace; the issues surrounding how
we educate our children; how we, as a
people, respond to catastrophe in New
Orleans, Haiti, Africa, or in the
lives of the 99%. You will explore the
growth of the prison-industrial
complex and how that growth impacts
your own life. InTen
Years of BC: A Contemporary
History, you will find the
definitive companion to enhance your
own understanding of issues concerning
economic justice, social justice and
peace.
We
hope you enjoyTen

Exxon &
BP: The Corporate Continuum of
Ecological Destruction By Jamala Rogers
My hope is that
we look at our energy problem in a
holistic and comprehensive way. It’s
not solely about alternative energy
sources; it’s about a collective
lifestyle change; it’s about green
policies on a global scale; it’s
about enforcing regulations and
creating new ones that address
evolving issues; and it’s about the
accountability of corporations to
the planet.
