Déjà Vu: The History That Has Been Untold, Keeps Being Untold Over & Over Again
For us here at Rhymes Media Group, we have tried to critically study, and deconstruct the sources, and modes of White Supremacy within this country, and throughout the world. We have sought to look at the effects White Supremacist ideology has had on people throughout all corners of the world. Though the elders within this news organization have poured years of their lives within their own study of the pathology of White Supremacy within society, I will endeavor to add my own

This Aint About Us: The Key To Ethnic & Class Solidarity Is Whites Eradicating White Supremacy
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

RMG's Anti-Racism 101: Defining Prejudice, Discrimination & Racism
Rhymes Media Group, in keeping with our commitment to advocacy journalism, begins, today, the series: RMG's Anti-Racism 101. Rhymes Media Group began, and continues, as a mechanism for persuasion for those who are willing to be persuaded. In other words, we are not looking for a show of hands - popular consensus is one of the WORSE metrics for determining what's true. It can be hard and confusing, at times, to understand the ins and outs of prejudice, discrimination, racism &

RMG #BlackAugust: An Invitation To Whiteness: Why Not Addressing White Privilege Entrenches Social a
A several years ago, this writer wrote: that until White privilege is addressed and eradicated, it will continue to be the serpent in any and every Garden of Eden of feminist, liberal or progressive creation. And as we view the landscape of American social, political and economic life, we can see, not so much a re-introduction of White privilege, but an amplification of its reality and presence. The recent studies and reports continue to bear out not only a persistent economi

Senseless Violence & The Cultural Dynamics of Sympathy
When the targets and victims of violence happen to be white, what the victim did or didn’t do isn’t readily discussed. On the other hand, it seems that people of color have to pass some sort of litmus test to illicit a certain level of sympathy, that somehow the grief of a Black, Hispanic, Asian or Muslim mother isn’t as palpable as that of a White one. #violence #racism #whiteprivilege #news #politics #NRA #currentevents

That’s Rich: The One Percent’s Hypocritical Litmus Test Of ‘Violence’
Donald Trump can always be counted on for a certain perspective. So when he - several years ago, before he was president - without context, asserted that our nation’s violent crime problem generates almost exclusively from the Black and Hispanic communities, it came as no surprise. The then-New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg seemed to echo Trump’s remarks. We see his thinking at work in the decision to send ATF agents to Chicago like a foreign occupying army. What these st

To My Lighter-Hued Sisters & Brothers
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

RMG's Flashback Friday: Turning Racism Upside Down To See It Right Side Up: The Remix
Republican Party darling Mike Huckabee, during a recent speech, decided to dispense some tough love to a predominantly white audience when he voiced his concerns about the state of affairs in American white communities. "The epidemic of whites involved in drunk-driving fatality accidents is deplorable," Huckabee said. He cited the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's 2000 statistics that showed that white male drivers between the ages of 21-34 constituted the larg
