G, everything you say makes sense. . .but it only makes sense without context.

If you analyze the history of "Black" people and American politics, we have never been an effective lobby. Barack owes us exactly what every other American politician owes us.

To kick us in our a$$ when we don't do what we are supposed to do.

Look at the Jewish lobby. It is the most powerful lobby in the history of mankind. We must learn to hold these folks accountable, not just before the election by having them come visit, but after the election if they do not make the appropriate changes in policy. We should not be voting Democrat if the Democrats won't deliver on policy.

i think you got a back-end of a bad deal. first of all Libya is an African country on the African continent. And for you or any other fool to decide that suddenly Libya is less African than Ghana, show us your real intentions. We are all African countries on this Continent. For you to go around divided up Africa like them previous European colonialist is disgusting. shame shame shame...

Ghaddafi has done a lot for Africa, and that man has good ideas, just wish more African leaders would follow his example. Mugabe is close, but he is an unpolished diamond in his duties as president.

African my foot and my fist in your face. Following your stupid logic, I assume it would have been perfectly well to include Apartheid South Africa into the OAU (Organization of African Unity) as one of us. Why would you not embrace the South African Racist Eugene Terblanche and Wouter Basson as one of us? Somehow you all ran around highlighting White Atrocities but turn soft like gays whenever Ghaddafi and the multitude of Arabs are mentioned and held to account. Shame on you and those who participate in covering such atrocities and you are as guilty as those who commit them. Go back and study the History of conflicts in Africa and you will realize that it is your Arabs with your Ghaddafi that Fueled, Financed and encouraged war throughout Africa causing the deaths of millions of Africa. He Ghaddafi is as guilty as those White European Colonizers who raided and rob Africa out of its humanity. Now Sit back and let me school you.

(1)It was your Muamar Ghaddafi that invaded an African Country of Chad with the sole purpose of annexing Chad. He waged a bloody war that let to the death of millions of Chadianssince the 1970s. African my fist in your face. Where were you guys when all these were going on?

(2)It was Muammar Ghaddafi who encouraged, Trained and Financed the war lord Charles Taylor of Liberia. Ghaddafi through Taylor led to the death and sufferings of millions of our brothers and sisters in Liberia f rom 1989 until 2004. Did you object when all these atrocities were going on that was fully funded by Ghaddafi?

(3) It was Charles Taylor who was trained by Ghaddafi who destablize Sierra Leone. Millions of our innocent brothers and sisters were mutilated and their hands cut off, thanks to your Ghaddafi and Charles Taylor.

(4) It was Ghaddafi who trained the Janjaweed who are decimating Darfur today. The Janjaweed were Sudanese remnants of Ghaddafi's "Islamic Army" that inaved Chad. The Janjaweed first emerged in 1988 after Chadian President Hissène Habré, defeated the Libyan army, thereby ending Col. Muammar al-Gaddafi’s territorial designs on Chad. Libya’s Chadian protégé, Acheickh Ibn Omer Saeed, retreated with his partisan forces to Darfur, where they were hosted by Sheikh Musa Hilal, the newly-elevated chief of the Mahamid Rizeigat Arabic speaking African tribes of north Darfur.

(5) It was Ghaddafi who supported various rebellions in Ethiopia.

(6) It was Ghaddafi who trained and funded the Tuaregs to rise up and fight the Malian Government.

(7) It was Ghaddafi who trained and financed the Tuaregs to rise up and fight the African Government of Niger, a strategy to elevate the Arabs of the region to prominence.

Next time, come prepared and bring Muammur Ghaddafi with you so I can put my fist into both of your faces. Look at this people and tell me why must they loose their hands in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Darfur in Sudan? Answer this question Mr Ghaddafi Surrogate?


Why must this lady and her kid suffer in Darfur and why did Ghaddafi Financed the Janjaweed throughout the 1980s until the 1995s?

Rupert Murdoch's Fox News television station has been forced to apologise to Barack Obama after screening a racially tinged caption referring to his wife Michelle as his "baby mama".

Bill Shine, senior vice president of programming at Fox, said that a producer "exercised poor judgment". The statement came as Obama established a website to help counter what he referred to as smears and rumours.

One of his first moves was to defend Michelle by debunking a rumour that there is a video of her speaking from the pulpit of the Trinity church in Chicago in which she allegedly refers to whites as "whitey".

He said she had never spoken at Trinity or used the phrase.

Fox carried an interview this week with a columnist about whether Michelle was being unfairly targeted. During the interview, a caption was flashed up saying: "Outraged liberals: Stop picking on Obama's baby mama". The term is slang for a woman who has a baby with a man who is not her partner.

What exactly is a terrorist fist jab?




You will have seen it before, even if you don't know what it's called. In fact, everybody seems a little confused regarding the accepted terminology for when two people bump their fists together in the manner of tennis doubles partners who have just scored a crucial point.

Since Barack Obama and his wife knocked knuckles just prior to his victory speech the week before last, the American press have variously described it as a "fist bump", a "pound" or a "dap greeting", while the New York Times opted for the excruciating "close-fisted high-five".

For the terrorism angle, however, we must credit Fox News Channel presenter ED Hill, who introduced an item about Mr and Mrs Obama's affectionate and wholly unremarkable little tap with the words: "A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? The gesture everyone seems to interpret differently."

The trouble with Hill's assertion was that she appeared to have coined the term "terrorist fist jab" herself. The only other record of a similar phrase was in the comments section of a blog on the creepy conservative website HumanEvents.com, where some anonymous crank referred to it as "Hezbollah-style fist-jabbing".

The comment was quickly removed from public view and, despite a half-hearted apology, so was Hill: Fox News cancelled her show.

The Wikipedia entry for "dap greeting" briefly and belatedly entertained the contention that the gesture is "also used by underground terrorist cells", but there is no evidence that this is true, and if terrorists do give each other fist pounds it's almost certainly something they picked up from either the NBA or from repeats of the US version of Deal or No Deal, where the pound is the standard greeting and all-purpose good luck sign.

For many, the Fox News gaffe is part of a wider smear campaign against Obama, but this is really about the US media being completely bewildered - and idiotically distracted - by a gesture that is, in America and across the world, familiar and utterly commonplace.

Whatever you call it.


Questions, questions | From the Guardian | The Guardian

"Owes us" WHAT, specifically?

Makes WHAT "appropriate changes in policy?"

"Deliver WHAT?"

The "Jewish lobby" has a very specific agenda. They are rarely off-point on their agenda.

What is the African-American agenda?

Here's a small piece of African-History to ponder. In the 60's - 70's, nearly every major African-American activist group had a mulit-point plan. Usually called the "Ten point plan".

Nation of Islam. Black Panthers. Republic of New Africa. Congress of African Peoples. Malcolm X's (El Hajj Malik El-Shabazz) organization.

This was not by accident. The climate was why listen to anyone just because they were angry or had a soapbox. There were angry black people before you (Countee Cullen, Zora Neale Hurston, Mary Church Terrell, Stokely Carmichael, Langston Hughes) and they manifested their anger by what they DID. The question was always "Where are YOU coming from, sister (brother)?" "Why should we pay any attention you?" And even louder. WHAT'S YOUR PROGRAM?

I remember hearing these words at nearly every meeting where someone wanted to shoot off their mouths on yet another "we have been oppressed for 400 years by the white devils tirade". WHAT IS YOUR PROGRAM?

What are the short-term and long-term goals and objectives of our people that you espouse and what are the interim strategies to get them. Whatever they might be. (guerilla war? race war? separation? move to africa? community development? separate schools? political empowerment of the group? political solidarity with others? family development? fight the judicial system and release more black men or protect community/fight crime and possibly imprison more black men?)

Taking a stand on your clearly stated positions enables you to determine what, if anything, you should demand from your mayor, your councilperson, your governor or your president.

Elijah Muhammad once forbade his followers from voting unless one of the core tenets of his organization was a primary issue of one of the candidates. (this position probably changed after his death. I don't know).

Mary McCleod Bethune, Ida B Wells, Mary Church Terrell, Booker T Washington, W.E.B. DuBois and Garvey, were passionate for, or against each other (Garvey was an admirer of Washington's industrial program and came to the States to specifically apprentice under Booker T). The reason for this passion was that their long range 'program' for our people was crystal clear and laid out.

It led some of them to encourage engagement in electoral politics and others to advocate going to Africa. Whatever. The logic for their positions was clearly stated.

In my opinion, the Trojan Horse of the African-American movment has been hip-hop, which has taken the focus off of long-term organizing and placed it on INDIVIDUAL anger which leads people to applaud reactionary INDIVIDUAL outbursts and "in-your-face" posturing rather than a submission to principles that values the limitless potential of our people, our families - our children and elders - and focuses our attention and energy on community and people (nation) BUILDING rather than white people TEARING DOWN.
