Black Agenda Report White Lies and Black Disbelief in a Fading Empire https://www.blackagendareport.com/white-lies-and-black-disbelief-fading-empire “If you can use that justification,” said Yeshitela, “that, somehow, the Syrian state is attacking its own people and, therefore, the U.S. can rain missiles, along with France and England, on Syria, then what would prevent Russia from attacking the United States because of all the people that the United States is killing in our c

From Dr. Rhymes writings: "Since 2009, there have been 17 shooting incidents between anti-government extremists and law enforcement." "One of those 17 shooting incidents between homegrown extremists and police is the April 2009 shootout between Richard Poplawski and Pittsburgh police. Poplawski killed 3 officers and wounded a fourth. Another is the June 2014 killing of two Las Vegas police officers by Jerad and Amanda Miller — a couple who had spent some time at the Bundy ran

Introduction “The logic of ‘race as a social construct’ must be tightened and the focus sharpened. Just as it is unhelpful, to say the least, to euphemize racial slavery in continental Anglo-America as ‘the Peculiar Institution,’ instead of identifying the "White race," itself, as the truly peculiar institution governing the life of the country after emancipation as it did in slavery times; just as it is not ‘race’ in general, that must be understood, but the ‘White race,’ in

Lately, there has been much criticism of the activist group known as “Antifa” (short for “Anti-Fascist”) by both the Right and, surprisingly, among the Left. Cries of “violence only begets violence,” and “divide and conquer strategy” has poured out from their mouths. The world-renowned journalist, Chris Hedges, has also attacked Antifa by saying, “Behind the rhetoric of Antifa, the Black Bloc, and the so-called ‘alt-left’, about capitalism, racism, state repression and corpo

“The carceral system must be torn out root and branch.” Even most leftish white Americans like to think that their country is good and its institutions are fair and equitable. According to this wishful thinking human rights abuses only happen in faraway places and injustices here are resolved by reining in a few bad apples. The facts say otherwise and prove that the United States is consistently one of the worst human rights violators in the world. The cruelty of its prison s

Observing Van Jones cry on CNN, twitter posts of #thisisnotus and other well -meaning folks cry and wring their hands, because the president has exposed the real US, is an indication of self- deception. Jones and folks who share his affinities had convinced themselves that this is not a racist nation. Yet the evidence, recent and not so recent, along with the country’s past indicate the opposite. The US has been organized around White Supremacy since the first settlers set fo

The Colin Kaepernick situation reveals all you need to know about the US Big Business and its most popular non profit the National Football League. Kaepernick remains unsigned because he stood up against racism and police violence, both of which are important to the rich powerful in maintaining their hold on US society. The NFL owners are hypocrites. What does the flag and the national anthem have to do with professional football? Not a thing the pageantry is about getting fa

Eric Garner being choked to death by New York City Police in July 2014. The attention on Black male victims like Garner and Castile reflects the disproportionate police violence and confinement Black males are subjected to. There is no structural apparatus that empowers Black males to successfully lobby for their interests, ensures their gainful employment, or protects and values their lives. Curry asks: “If the effect of racism is such that the alleged advantages of men disa

This is not to say that these protests should become violent to attract media attention. The deficit is rather on the other side. The mainstream corporate media should be covering these many nonviolent protests where people risk arrest and often go to jail for their actions. The G20 (or G-20 or Group of Twenty) is an international forum for the governments and central bank governors from 20 major economies. It was founded in 1999 with the aim of studying, reviewing, and promo

Every so often I have to talk to my brothers & sisters who don't quite understand where I stand. So, instead of writing over again that which has already been written, I'm re-posting this from 2014. "The National Black Day of Silence has passed and I guess I can now speak my piece regarding some of the nonsense that I've seen and read. 1. It's not my job to explain to my fairer-skinned brothers and sisters that recognizing and observing a day of silence, for what is OVERWHELM

I suppose this should considered a RMG News Rant. This was in the aftermath of the verdict of not guilty on all charges for Officer Yanez in the MURDER of Philando Castile. Yes, I was heated. During this broadcast I was not a journalist or reporter, I was a Black man with half a century of anger & pain. I can't, and won't, apologize. #racialprofiling #racism #news #currentevents #politics #PhilandoCastile #murderbycop #lawenforcementracism #trial #jury
