One of the most remarkable trends taking place at so-called “human rights,” “social justice,” and “peace” rallies in a host of venues—most notably university campuses all across the United States—is the delivery of vicious attacks by Islamic speakers against America, Israel, and the Jewish people. These speakers, many of whom are religious leaders known as Imams, unambiguously condemn the United States as the “Great Satan,” the principal wellspring of evil on earth. By extension, they depict America’s ally Israel as the “Little Satan,” a land whose Jewish inhabitants allegedly have conspired with the U.S. to mistreat Muslims in every part...

Both Presidential Candidates Targeting Green Bay Independent Voters MADISON, Wis. -- Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama will be back for more campaigning in Wisconsin on Monday. Obama will appear at a rally at the Resch Center in Green Bay, the same venue where Republican rival Sen. John McCain rallied last week. Political experts said the visit proves how important the Green Bay area is in this election, since the area is filled with independent, working-class voters. Michelle Obama will be in Madison on Monday at the Women's Week of Action rally. Michelle Obama will appear at Camp Randall where...

With polls showing the presidential contest between John McCain and Barack Obama getting closer, a question is now looming larger and larger. Is skin color going to be the deciding factor? Just last week, Sen. Obama warned voters that Sen. McCain's campaign will exploit the race issue by telling voters that "he doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills." A few weeks earlier, he said they will attack his lack of experience but also added, "And did I mention he's black?" The McCain campaign did not counter the first punch, but after last week's jab --...

"whites have been more willing to vote for Obama than blacks have been to vote for Hillary Clinton. To liberals, blacks voting for Obama are expressing pride; whites voting for Clinton harbor racial prejudice, not gender pride or legitimate preference." With Barack Obama routinely getting 90% of the black vote, but only about 35% of the white vote, his top campaign aides are suggesting white racism is a problem.

Bill Clinton as president being comforted by Reverend Wright In the aftermath of the Pennsylvania Democratic primary — a race in which Senator Hillary Clinton had a 20-point lead only a few months ago — the racism and hypocrisy of the Clinton campaign was laid bare for all a nation to scorn. Desperate and willing to do anything to win, the Clintons resorted to a naked form of racism aimed directly at white working-class voters in the rural portions of the state. Their message: Barack Obama cannot win because he’s black. In the early stages of the campaign, it...

For Barack Obama, closing the deal with Democrat voters has become like herding cats: He just can’t get them all lined up and coordinated on his side. This nation has a history of looking closely at its candidates and taking their measure before they vote for them. It is a process that Obama shuns and rival Hillary Clinton thrives on -- and therein lies the problem for Democrats. Obama, who leads both in pledged delegates and in the popular vote, cannot close the gap with lunch-pail Democrats, older voters and (for lack of a better term) white people. Consequently, Clinton...

Hillary Clinton is pinning her hopes on the party’s superdelegates to gift her the nomination. But America’s most senior black congressman warns she is playing with fire and could force a split in the DemocratsSarah Baxter in Fayetteville, North Carolina The most senior black congressman in America had a tough warning for Hillary Clinton this weekend as she fought to wrest the Democratic presidential nomination from Barack Obama. “We’ll be playing with fire if we interfere with the voters’ choice,” James Clyburn, the party’s chief whip in the House of Representatives, told The Sunday Times. “African-Americans will feel cheated.” Clinton...

The new pastor at Barack Obama’s church used his first Easter sermon on Sunday to compare controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. to Jesus’ death at the hands of the Romans.

The math of 4 out of 5 black voters going for Obama in SC means that if only 3 out of 5 black voters had gone for Obama, it would be near to a tie between Hillary & Obama.

S.C.: The beauty parlors are social hubs for black women in the Carolinas, the first Democrat Southern primary. Clara Vereen considers Obama and Hillary..., "“I’ve got enough black in me to want somebody black to be our president. I would love that, but I want to be real, too.......I fear that they just would kill him..." And Hillary? “We always love Hillary because we love her husband.” Then she paused. “A man is supposed to be the head. I feel like the Lord has put man first, and I believe in the Bible.” In South Carolina, 29% of Democrat primary...

Only in today's political climate, where so much of the "civil rights movement" is comprised of bottom-feeding race hustlers and shameless liberals who deliberately exploit racial tensions for their own political benefit -- could anyone demean the real civil rights movement that occurred during the sixties by comparing the struggles those brave people faced -- to what has been happening in Jena, Louisiana. That may not be the impression most people have gotten at first glance, but that's because many of the facts about this story have been distorted to such a point that they have little to do with...

WASHINGTON — The selection of a Chinese sculptor to carve a three-story monument to Martin Luther King Jr. on the National Mall is raising questions about what part of his legacy should be celebrated. King promoted peace and understanding among all people. His primary fight, however, was to win particular opportunities for blacks in the United States by juxtaposing the plight of an oppressed people against a message of freedom and democracy.

For the past two decades, Barack Obama has been a faithful member of the congregation at Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ. Trinity is no run-of-the-mill black church. It's social activism and political awareness on pure, natural holy water. Trinity's progressive pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, preaches the black theology of liberation. And he practices what he preaches. Back when apartheid was the law of the land in South Africa, when Nelson Mandela was a political prisoner and when American corporations, institutions and the U.S. government all gave their blessings to those evil doings, the dashiki-wearing minister planted a ''Free...

Abandoning The Duke Victim By Alton Maddox Jr. January 25th, 2007 . For daring to pursue a Black woman's rape charges against white males Nifong is being driven out of town and the practise of law A recent “editorial” in the Wall Street Journal was titled “The Michael Nifong Scandal.” This description defies logic. A scandal has a moral connotation. It would apply to the pedophiles in the Catholic Church who masquerade as priests. This term should have no relationship to a prosecutor seeking justice for a sexually abused woman of African ancestry. To be sure, a prosecutor charging white,...

RAPE CASE Blacks aren't judging Nifong Community leaders await next step after dropping of charges FRANCO ORDOÑEZ fordonez@charlotteobserver.com While scrutiny of the Durham district attorney's handling of the Duke lacrosse case intensifies, key members of the county's influential black community still back the prosecutor, though cautiously. The district attorney, Mike Nifong, dropped rape charges Friday against former players David Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann after the 28-year-old accuser said she was unsure whether the players had penetrated her. The move spurred outrage against the district attorney for continuing a case many legal experts say has completely unraveled. But several...

AP) LONG BEACH, Calif. Police say reputed gang members totaled the car of a woman who testified against African American youths accused of beating three white women during a Halloween block party in Long Beach. Authorities say the woman, 18, has been under police escort. She was in court Tuesday when a car full of men reversed and backed into her car as it was parked in front of her home. Police commander Jeff Johnson told the Long Beach Press-Telegram that it appears as though the gang members are sending her another message. Last week, after her first day in...

President Bush acknowledged persistent racism in America and lamented the Republican Party's bumpy relations with black voters as he addressed the NAACP's annual convention Thursday for the first time in his presidency. "I understand that racism still lingers in America," Bush told the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "It's a lot easier to change a law than to change a human heart. And I understand that many African-Americans distrust my political party." That line generated boisterous applause and cheers from the thousands in the audience, which generally gave the president a polite, reserved reception. "I consider it...

This morning, City Councilman Al Vann (D-Brooklyn) and a sundry of the city's black elected officials are scheduled to meet to address what they deem a serious crisis. High AIDS infection rates? Gun violence? The war in Iraq? Not quite. As Vann wrote in a June 8 e-mail, "we are in peril of losing a 'Voting Rights' district, the 11th Congressional District, as a result of the well-financed candidacy of Council Member David Yassky, a white individual." You see, Yassky, a city councilman, is running in a predominantly black community, trying to succeed the retiring African-American Congressman Major Owens. And...

MEMPHIS — A federal judge Thursday rejected a claim that black lawmakers were targeted for prosecution in the Tennessee Waltz investigation. Judge Jon McCalla rejected a petition to dismiss the bribery and extortion charges against former Sen. Roscoe Dixon, D-Memphis, or to delay his trial set for May 30. In that petition, Dixon claimed he is the victim of selective prosecution because he is black. He argued that federal agents pretending to be businessmen looking for legislative favors offered bribes to black lawmakers but not white members of the state Legislature. That argument, McCalla said, was based on speculation and...

DURHAM - The national chairman of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense says his group intends to march at Duke University on Monday to "deal directly" with lacrosse players about charges of rape of an escort service dancer at a team party. Duke's campus police are coordinating with the Durham Police Department to prepare for the black-separatist group, which has a reputation for coming to its protests armed. Malik Zulu Shabazz, a Washington lawyer who is the leader of the New Panthers, said he will be in Durham to rally with local black leaders and monitor progress of the...

(CBS) GARY, Ind. A Northwest Indiana mother says her 14-year-old son has been beaten up three times in the past few weeks at school. He had to leave a school in Portage that is mostly white. He currently goes to a predominantly African American school in Gary. CBS 2 Northwest Indiana Bureau Chief Pamela Jones reports his mother says the boy’s race is the reason for the beatings. "They kept screaming, ‘How do you like that, whitey?’ Or 'F' you, whitey,’” said seventh grader James Tokarski. “And they kept on calling me trailer trash, hillbilly, redneck." Fourteen-year-old James Tokarski sports...

CHICAGO, Dec. 26 (UPI) -- The largest annual Kwanzaa celebration of African-American culture in the United States began Monday at Malcolm X College in Chicago. Ayoka Samuels, a consultant for the college's Kwanzaa committee said a major misconception is that about the seven-day festival is that it's meant to be "the black Christmas," the Chicago Sun-Times said. Samuels said many who celebrate it do substitute it for Christmas, and if gifts are exchanged, they must be either educational or a symbol of African heritage. Maulana Ron Karenga, now a professor of black studies at California State University, Long Beach, created...

If you reside in Detroit, as I do, your radio and TV broadcast airwaves are dominated by live coverage of Rosa Parks' funeral. All other programming is pre-empted -- so we can be lectured by racists and race merchants. Right now, I'm listening to Louis X a/k/a Louis Farrakhan. Why is this racist loon a prominent speaker at this woman's funeral? If he had it his way, Catholics and other Christians, Jews, Whites, Asians, Gays, Arabs, and anyone not Black Muslim would not be riding in the back of the bus: they'd be dead. Is Rosa Parks' funeral the place...

Residents to march for black issues in D.C. By Corey G. Johnson, The Daily Reflector Saturday, October 15, 2005 About 150 Greenville residents loaded buses at C.M. Eppes recreation center Friday night to participate in today's Millions More Movement in Washington, D.C. Inspired by the Rev. Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam, today's event on Capitol Hil is expected to include appearances by the Rev. Jesse Jackson, the Rev. Al Sharpton and representatives from the NAACP, SCLC, the National Council for Negro Women and numerous other leaders in the areas of religion education and entertainment. Billed as commemoration of...

City education officials are investigating the claims of a pair of boys from Oklahoma who moved to Brooklyn to experience diversity, and instead say they got schooled in racism and violence. Mom Lisa Brown, 33, told the Daily News she relocated her family from their small Oklahoma town so her husband, a Brooklyn native and social worker, could more easily find work and her sons could experience different people and ways of life. Brown enrolled her sons, Sloan, 12, and J.T., 13, at Ebbets Field Middle School in Crown Heights. But when the boys, who are white, showed up, their...

<p>NEW YORK (AP) -- Yankees star Derek Jeter is the latest athlete to receive a threatening letter warning him to stop dating white women.</p> <p>The letter was mailed to Jeter at Yankee Stadium and called him a ``traitor to his race,'' according to a story in Monday's editions of the Daily News. It warned him to ``stop or he'll be shot or set on fire,'' said a law enforcement source who the newspaper did not identify. It was not clear whether the source was speaking on condition of anonymity.</p>

The Miss Jones morning show on hip-hop radio station Hot-97 has been yanked off the air amid growing outrage over a twisted tsunami parody song even the boss called "indefensible." Emmis Radio, which owns Hot-97 (WQHT), said yesterday Jones, whose real name is Tasha Nicole Jones, and her team have been "indefinitely suspended," an action critics called belated and insufficient. "The people responsible need to be taken off the air permanently," said City Councilman John Liu (D-Queens). "And the company should face financial sanctions, so no one can profit from this kind of ugliness." Liu and other critics plan a...

Black liberals need to respond to insult of Rice by Baraka Gregory Kane -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally published Mar 19, 2003 Gregory Kane -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REMEMBER when Mayor Martin O'Malley used all those colorful cuss words a few years back in speaking about Baltimore State's Attorney Patricia Jessamy? Remember the uproar? Remember how all those black folks gathered out in front of City Hall with signs and accused O'Malley of insulting all black women? How dare the mayor use such language about a black female government official, they fumed. On Saturday, at one of the state's public colleges, another man said something even...

WASHINGTON – Fox News, CNN, the Washington Post. The interviews lionizing Montgomery County Police Chief Charles A. Moose keep coming. Time magazine named him "Person of the Week." Book deals are in the offing. His office door is adorned with a huge thank-you letter from area school kids. Fruit baskets, flowers and other gifts continue to arrive from grateful citizens.

There's even a "Chief Moose Fan Club" website replete with songs and poems praising the "superhero." Its founder calls Moose...

New Black Panthers protest Decatur shooting 10/08/02 By CHRISTOPHER BELL Times Staff Writer chrisb@htimes.com DECATUR - About 30 state, county and city law enforcement officers provided security at Decatur City Hall Monday night as a group called the New Black Panther Party attended a council meeting to protest the police shooting of a black man. Na'dees Muhammad of Cleveland held large photographs of 57-year-old James Hulett, killed during a June 30 raid in southwest Decatur, as he warned the council that the group will return to Decatur unless a new investigation is ordered. ''We believe an eye for an eye,...

Because there are no living slaves, the idea of reparations borders on insanity. But let's indulge them for a moment and do some of the math. HERE IS THE FORMULA: 1) Take the number of slaves, multiply by the average number of years worked; 2) Multiply by 52, the number of weeks in a year; 3) Multiply by 50 hours which was the work week; 4) Multiply by the typical hourly wage paid for field labor; 5) Multiply by 2 as a penalty for the labor being forced; 6) Subtract the value of housing and food received; 7) Subtract the...
