There are plenty of examples of Black leaders being falsely convicted. It should be common knowledge now that State powers have a long history of falsely accusing and convicting Black folk and those they consider a threat to the status quo such as communists, socialists, and activists. I honestly don’t feel like…

Members of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense who were not outright killed were either jailed or forced into exile. The same can be said for the MOVE organization and the Black Liberation Army. All of these incarcerated individuals spent inhumane amount of time and continue to spend much of their time in…
Well you know, hundreds US assassination attempts, infiltration of government by pro-US operatives, and constant threat of a US-sponsored coup would make anyone a bit paranoid. And as detention and torture of political prisoners goes, the US is leagues ahead of anything Castro could even imagine. COINTELPRO comes to…
Who would have thought that someone who pals around with one of America’s most wretched war criminals is also a shitty person?
Why would they need help from Europe? They’re are a sovereign nation and people. What could Europe offer them except neocolonialism and IMF austerity?
What is Castro’s style of governance? One could argue that its is a direct result of unrelenting pressure from the U.S. to oust him from the very second Batista was overthrown. Castro had not yet allied himself with the USSR before Washington began plotting to overthrow him. Declassified CIA documents attest to this…

The language we use to describe things matters. As such I would suggest that in your writing you refrain from using race riot to refer to the events of May 31, 1921. It was not a riot it was a massacre. It was wholesale slaughter of innocents. It was mass murder. It was a pogrom. It was racial terror. Framing it as a…
Kids today don’t know what irony actually is.
If I go to the bank tomorrow and apply for a mortgage I’ll still very likely be charged a higher interest rate the a less qualified white man. But one racist has to move back to the trailer park so I guess we’re even.

2016 was also the Dems’ race to lose also. I can’t remember whose words these are: Republicans fear their base, Democrats hate theirs. Bill Clinton and Corporate Dems sold us out to Wall Street. The “Senator from MBNA” is now the presumptive nominee and is already signaling to the donor class that the gravy train will…
I’ll bet dollars to donuts (no pun intended) a cop sent that text.
It’s a vulgar display of power. They know we know the truth, but they lie to us because we can’t do anything about it and they know it. It’s characteristic of a society in decline. We are living in the twilight of the American Empire, a failed state.
Benghazi should have been a scandal for other reasons but wasn’t. The CIA and State Department were funneling weapons and stolen Libyan gold to extremists in Syria.
