The St. Louis police officer who was seen pushing CNN anchor Don Lemon during a live segment in Ferguson has been relieved of duty over a racist rant. Lemon was reporting on the unrest in Ferguson when Officer Dan Page began to physically push the anchor back. Now video has surfaced of Page making racist and homοphobic comments at an Oath Keepers meeting a few months back. “It’s wide-ranging inflammatory…
After George Zimmerman was arrested for kιlling Trayvon Martin, many people were stunned at the hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations that were funneled to Zimmerman. Now it seems that history is repeating itself, because the officer who gunned down Michael Brown is receiving similar financial support. A website created to support Officer Darren Wilson has raised almost $218,000 over the last few days, according to the Detroit Free…
Al Sharpton and Rev. Jesse Jackson have had a complex relationship that sometimes resulted in the two men bumping heads over who would lead the black community. Unlike Jackson, Sharpton doesn’t have an organic connection to the civil rights movement through Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., but Sharpton made a name for himself in New York and used that reputation to catapult himself to prominence. Nowhere is Sharpton’s prominence more…
As an activist who works to pursue equality at every juncture, there was an instinctual pull for me to travel to Ferguson, Missouri where unarmed teen Michael Brown was gunned down by a Ferguson police officer during what witnesses say was him surrendering. I needed to come to bear witness to the historical, divisive, and unprecedented events that have been unfolding and to work to ensure that no more mothers…
As Attorney General Eric Holder heads to Missouri on Wednesday to deal with the unrest in Ferguson, one Wall Street Journal editorial board member says Holder should be more concerned with the attire of protesters than the deαth of Michael Brown. The Wall Street Journal’s Jason Riley said Eric Holder’s arrival in the city was just part of Obama’s attempt to be the “race-healer-in-chief” and discussed what Holder should say…
April V. Taylor In a shocking display of how starkly the situation in Ferguson, Missouri stands in contrast with the freedoms that many see as foundational American ideals, a 90-year old Holocaust survivor has been arrested protesting the death of Michael Brown. The Huffington Post reports that Hedy Epstein, “who assisted Allied forces in the Nuremberg trials,” was arrested for “failing to disperse,” during a protest regarding Missouri Governor Jay…
April V. Taylor The United States is generally thought of as the country who hands out food aid to Third World countries across the globe, but what many fail to realize is the growing numbers of Americans who are forced to rely on food donations in order to avoid going hungry. A recent USA Today article points out that a recent Feeding America study found that some 46 million families…

Former Tea Party Congressman Joe Walsh was recently booted from his own radio show for attempting to use the “N” word on air. During his show “The Answer”, Walsh tried to have a conversation about the “N” word as compared to the word Redskins. Apparently, his general manager took issue with the racial slur and cut him off. If you don’t remember Walsh, he’s the deadbeat dad ex-Congressman who made…
In this very important video, Malcolm X is talking about the importance of owning black businesses. Due to the legacy and history of African Americans being trained to work for whites, we are stuck in a cycle within which we’re taught to believe that our purpose for education or any other training is to get a white-owned company to hire us. The challenge with this line of thinking is that…
Reported by Liku Zelleke Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney has switched up gears and is making himself more visible. He has been making speeches left and right including his first one on foreign policy. That would have been OK if he had handled it all by himself. Romney’s advisors have been trying to help him out a bit by explaining what he’s trying to say and what his intentions are….
The New Paradigm Tour was a huge success. It wasn’t corporate sponsored. We didn’t get political funding from either the Democrats or the Republicans. We used our own money to go to several cities, gathering a collection of leading black intellectuals who care enough about the black community to give specific steps and information to help people build a better day for themselves and their families. Dr. Cornel West joined…
President Obama has received more death threats than any president in American history. So, you would think that maybe the Secret Service would be there to ensure that he is consistently protected. Unfortunately, this is not the case, as was revealed by a recent investigation. This story might seem harmless on the surface, but it only takes one mistake for everything to come crumbling down. It was slack protection…
The death of Malcolm X was one of the great tragedies in American history. It was one of those moments that could have been prevented, but the racial climate in the United States is one that was never designed for men like Malcolm to be safe and successful. This video is a chance to see Malcolm right before he died. Do you ever wonder when or if we will get…
We know that Dr. Umar Johnson just doesn’t play. He doesn’t care about what you think is politically correct. He isn’t trying to cater to the liberals who expect black people to just go along with the program. Dr. Johnson has his own beliefs and his own way of caring about black people, whether you like it or not. He doesn’t have a lot of friends in the Democratic or…
