We won’t silently co-sign genocide
“The crisis involves what is happening to you, what is happening to me; what is happening to human beings who are more concerned with what they will lose by standing up, rather than standing up and facing the consequence of their stand, knowing that God will bring them out victorious.“So, the Bible says God was going to ‘open the...
A sex-trafficked Black girl; another unjust American judgment
In what world does a 16-year-old girl escape her sexual abuser and pimp, taking his life to preserve her own, but ends up sentenced to over 11 years in prison? Only in America, or highly likely in America, when the victim is a Black girl and her abuser was a White male twice her age. The case of sex-trafficking victim Chrystul...
The numbers, horror stories out of Gaza keep growing
The numbers keep going up and the horror stories keep growing. Israel’s war on Gaza has killed 40,000 people and most of the dead are women and children. It is a war for the extermination of the Palestinian people before our eyes. We must not divert our eyes and we must not be silent about these atrocities despite elections, despite...
The Crucifixion of Cori Bush
The Zionist lobby has struck boldly and dastardly once again. AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, pumped in millions of dollars to defeat Cori Bush, a Black female congresswoman from St. Louis. She had the audacity to believe she should be able to speak her mind, act on her political beliefs and serve her constituents in...
Living Among Enemies, We Must Not Be Enemies of One Another
Horror stories about the loss of Black Life in America never seem to stop or take a break. From Springfield, Illinois, to Milwaukee during the Republican National Convention, we get reports of Blacks who died at the hands of or in the hands of cops and so-called hotel security guards or employees. Sonya Massey, a Black woman living in the state...
We Must Stop the Killing
The July 4 weekend will be remembered as a horrible time involving over 1,000 people victimized by shootings or killed during the celebration of America’s independence. Many of those deaths occurred in Black neighborhoods where distraught residents have called for an end to the violence and loss of life. In Chicago, there were 100 shootings and 19 deaths, beginning Wednesday,...
Love Self First
“One of the gravest handicaps among the so-called Negroes is that there is no love for self, nor love for his or her own kind. This not having love for self is the root cause of hate (dislike), disunity, disagreement, quarreling, betraying, stool pigeons and fighting and killing one another. How can you be loved, if you have not...
Mistakes? Mayhem? No. This Is Outright Murder
When Israel bombs, starves or shoots Palestinians, mainstream U.S. media downplays the atrocities. Loss of life is chalked up to mistakes or the tragedy of wartime mayhem. It’s not. It’s murder. The Israeli Defense Forces’ recent slaughter of hundreds of Gazans to retrieve four Israelis taken captive by Hamas is another bloody example of unlawful killing, genocide, murder and media collusion. “Hell.”...
The Unraveling of a Great Nation: Another Step Toward Anarchy?
“There’s a verse in the Qur’an, it’s in the 16th Surah, the 92nd verse and it says, ‘Be not like her who unravels her yarn, disintegrating it into pieces, after she has spun it strongly.’ Her here is not talking about a woman, as such, but if you see somebody knitting something, with a design, and they leave it not...
Atrocities, arrest warrants and major accomplices in crimes against humanity
President Biden’s “ironclad” defense of Israel in the face of International Criminal Court charges against Zionist leaders are the words of a co-conspirator in crimes that much of the world has already condemned. When you are giving Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu billions of U.S. tax dollars, 2,000 lb. bombs that devastate refugee camps, villages and cities, backing an assault that...
