Black Candidate Recieves Death Threats In Germany

I think the heading for this story should be "Duh". Yes the Nazi party is alive and well in the Fatherland. What the hell made this idiot think that the country had changed that drastically in 60 years to allow his black ass to run for office? What is he doing in Germany in the first place? His talents and resources are sorely needed in Angola. The Germans will not protect him. They will stand around shaking their heads, thumbs in ass, as this idiot lies dead in the street.

There is a tradition in the south where Black people nod or speak to each other in passing, no matter how many we may pass in a day. We do that to remind each other that we are similarly situated here in America. That if anything happens, like a lynch mob breaking out or riot, that we are all together. We speak to remind each other to look out for one another.

This fool has no back-up. If he thinks the countryside will rally to his rescue when the shooting starts, he is sadly mistaken. He should run all right, run the hell out of dodge. It's better in the Bahamas!

Malcolm X-Prophet

Malcolm was so far ahead of his time he makes the rest of us look like cavemen. It's inspiring to look back and hear first hand the thoughts of a real revolutionary, visionary, and prophet.

As a kid growing up in Alabama, Malcolm did'nt get much TV or radio time. No speeches or appearances were televised. No reports in the local paper. Just a small two inch column in the paper when he died.

No statues or monuments exist for the greatest of all Black leaders. No holidays, parades, commemorations, nothing. His family did'nt capitalize on his image, writings, or tapes. Betty Shabazz died virtually penniless.

Thanks Brother Malcolm for reminding us of our true selves.

Racists Kill Black Man in Paris, Texas

The New Black Panthers faced down racists in Paris, Texas, a town famous for lynchings during the Klan heyday.

While I don't agree with all of the tenets of the New Black Panthers, I am glad to see that they have embraced self defense and are unafraid of cops and klansmen (at least until someone gets shot).

Brother james Byrd was dragged to his death by racists, who got life in prison instead of death. Texas is still a racist state. Blacks and Hispanics are treated as second class citizens throughout the state. In an area where the Comanche once ruled, none are to be found.

Where is our Black Attorney General and President when we really need them? Are they afraid to stick their necks out for racial justice because of how it may appear to whites.

One day one of these demonstrations will explode in violence and innocent people will be killed. then maybe the federal government will pay attention and investigate racial killings and hate crimes.
