- New York City Is Hell for Pot Smokers
  Posted by Shemuses from Alternet
  If you toke in the Big Apple, chances are you've had a run-in with one of New York's "finest." If you're African-American or Hispanic, chances are you and the NYPD are on a first-name basis.

  A widely circulated email among the Black community warns that Black leaders shouldn't demand that Barack Obama's record be scrutinized more closely and meet a higher standard than his white counterparts simply out of jealousy.

- It's Time for the Congressional Black Caucus to Cut Ties with Fox News
  Posted by Shemuses from Alternet
  Fox News doesn’t care about Black people -- does the Congressional Black Caucus? Well, the Congressional Black Caucus Political Education and Leadership Institute (CBCI) has partnered with Fox News to host 2008 presidential debates. CBC members may not have lost their minds, but they've definitely lost their way.

- BBC: Belafonte explains Condi 'house slave' comment
  Posted by Jeff from Rawstory
  "Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell serve Bush because they believe as he does; they embrace his ideology; they embrace his imperial appetite," Belafonte said. "They are lackeys, tools of that. And my reference to them as failed house slaves meant that they were not the masters of their own destiny, although they had the choice to be and didn't."

- Africa: Nkrumah 50 Years On - Africa Must Unite
  Posted by Shemuses from All Africa
  Fifty years ago, Ghana became the first African country to gain independence from a colonial power, on 6 March 1957, and its new leader declared: "Ghana's independence is meaningless unless it is linked with the total liberation of Africa". later adding "and with the projection of the African personality in the international community."

Another dragging death in Texas raises tensions

I think as Obama continues to do well – we will see more and more crazy stuff perpetrated by 1% of 1% of the craziest of this country.

Another dragging death in Texas raises tensions

this happened about 40 miles from my home. . .it’s more proof that racism in this country is just as strong and virulent as ever; it’s merely sublimated. me, ah’m jes’ the po’ ol’ sonuvashahcroppah. . .but i remember a few things. . .
think about it. . .immigration was no problem, except in california in the early-mid 90’s. . .we laughed it off. . .and then came the big boogeyman: 911.
people got scared, as they always do. everyone who wasn’t white-~~and many who werewere targeted. and the most visible nonwhite population includes hispanic immigrants. fifteen years ago it was calculated that the southwestincluding texaswould be precominantly hispanic around this time.~~
since virtually no terrorists have been found~~none that can be proven as terrorists~~-nonwhites make great scapegoats. and the good old boy gets to indulge in all his racial fantasies. 911 allowed everyone to indulge their hidden racism. muslims. . .hispanics. . .blacks. . .
it won’t end for at least another 400 years. . .

How the GOP Will Suppress Minority Votes on November 4—Legally

I would really like to say I’m surprised. Unfortunately the party of Abraham Lincoln has spent the better part of the last 50 years undoing what President Lincoln ultimately gave his life for. Great job guys.
A former Republican.
