If it weren’t so sad, it would be funny that people actually argue that the Civil War wasn’t fought over slavery, and that, indeed, it was fought over “states’ rights.” Geniuses; the Civil War was fought over states’ rights to own slaves! That’s what the whole secession from the Union deal was about. That’s what […]
Don’t think for a second that the police themselves are behind the apparent upswing we’ve been witnessing lately in their heinous assaults on our fellow citizens.

GAHANNA, Ohio — An African-American mother and son were astonished after a History teacher at Chapelfield Elementary School held a mock slave auction, dividing the class into “Slaves” and “Masters”.

They actually opted to only read the Constitution-as-amended, meaning among other things they left out the three-fifths compromise that declared slaves to be the equivalent of three-fifths of a full vote.

WASHINGTON D.C. Several members of Congress will be taking part in a historical reading of the Constitution. But they will be using an amended version to avoid some of the history reflected in it, particularly the institution of slavery. Tea Party favorite Republican Congressman, Bob Goodlatte of Georgia is organizing the reading. The Hill reports: […]
I’m always offended when some 21st Century jerk-off, made soft from fast food and text messaging, starts in with a line like, “I couldn’t have been no slave.” I have to resist the urge to correct what he’s saying (grammar included) because I know what he means is, “I couldn’t have continued to be a […]
ATLANTA-The New York Times is reporting on the plans of many white southerners to celebrate the Confederacy with the upcoming 150th anniversary of the Civil War approaching.

There is a good opinion piece in the Washington Post about Sarah Palin’s recent racially tinged criticism of Michelle Obama in her book. It’s appalling that Palin and too many others fail to understand that fact – indeed so many facts of American history. They don’t offer the slightest hint that they can appreciate the […]
Yes you read that right, and I was just as shocked as you were! Peterson is quoted as saying, “It’s like riding on a crowded airplane, and we’re not in first class.” I couldn’t believe my ears when I was hearing this and wanted to share it with all of you. Let me know what […]
If this doesn’t not apply to you then don’t get your boy shorts, thongs, boxers or briefs in a tiffy. This is just an analysis that I have come to from various courses in college, and life experience in general. This does not apply to all Black people but it definitely explains some behaviors of […]
