About Black Star News
Milton Allimadi, Publisher and Editor-in chief
Received his journalistic training at The Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University. After stints at The Journal of Commerce and The Wall Street Journal, Allimadi reported for the New York Times as a metro news stringer. At the New York Times Allimadi honed, among other things, his reportorial skills.

Allimadi’s passion for community-based and investigative news reporting took him to the legendary City Sun newspaper, an African American weekly newspaper published by the late Andy Cooper, who served as Allimadi’s mentor.

Excerpt
To anyone who has followed the Clinton campaign closely, it is all too apparent that her top political strategists — reeling from losses from coast to coast and badly miscalculating the grassroots power of the Obama movement — made a tactical decision to go negative, as that would be the only way for Clinton to stop Obama and somehow allow her to steal the nomination.

And go negative they did — with a subtle yet consistent racism underscoring every turn. The now notorious red-phone-at-3:00-a.m. television ad used by Clinton during the Texas primary, as Harvard sociologist Orlando Patterson noted in the New York Times, was reminiscent of D. W. Griffith’s racist film Birth of a Nation, which helped revive the Ku Klux Klan.

Excerpt
Clinton is an inveterate liar — I am sorry, there is truly no other word for it — and as her ill-fated presidential campaign tumbles toward its inevitable demise, the personal deception that is at the core of her personality, and of her career, continues to reveal itself.

*BUMP* ! . . .

Clinton is an inveterate liar — I am sorry, there is truly no other word for it — and as her ill-fated presidential campaign tumbles toward its inevitable demise, the personal deception that is at the core of her personality, and of her career, continues to reveal itself.

*Bravo* !

"then there was the photograph of Sen. Barack Obama in Somalian garb leaked to the press by Clinton’s staff."

That's not 'racism". That's just showing doubt that Obama is upfront and honest when he says he's a Christian, and never was Muslim (which really has nothing to do with "race" it's religion) But then, any attack on Obama's character and honesty is "racist", just as whites NOT voting for Obama is "racist" although blacks not voting for Hillary isn't racist.

Ferraro remained unrepentant when she finally did resign. “The Obama campaign is attacking me to hurt you,” she bitterly wrote Hillary
as she sat in church, clinging to her guns.

Gotta wonder what will be the reaction when the Clintons undermine Obama’s general election campaign, which they are surely going to do.

The commie-licking “citizens of the world” running both parties have some problems with realities leading to our near future. I will be most sure to avoid voting for any presidential candidate, if you manage to get your man-hating, family-hating, free-traitor shrew nominated to scare Americans. Show us a candidate who will work more for the USA (and for allies like Israel) than the evil foreign nation$ deare$t to their most influential and anti-American constituents, and I might see a reason to participate in and respect your politics.

I’ve never in my life seen such a filthy campaign devised to fool an American public perceived by its elite as a class of retards. You (all who are politically inclined) should have helped to nominate Duncan Hunter.

BTW, Obama's clueless supporters should have studied more history.


Feminism Is Why We Are So Delicate Pursuing the "Warm War" (MensNewsDaily)

by David R. Usher

Excerpt:
Shelby’s theory is wrong. The collapse of white moral authority is not the problem. The replacement of male authority with feminism is. To Steele’s credit — he was gazing in the general right direction – but missed the real target. In America, there is one place where white supremacy and radical feminism existed: The Ku Klux Klan.

The crucial relationship Shelby missed is this: post-modern feminism (which has clearly admitted to being a supremacist movement) is the living granddaughter of the Women’s Ku Klux Klan (WKKK), where second-wave feminism (as we know it today) was gestated and borne.

[...]

After the 19th amendment was passed, WKKK feminists no longer needed the Klan for political power, and turned their sights towards the use of sexual imagery to control white men too. In the 1920’s a congressional investigation found that a woman by the name of Elizabeth Tyler was running the KKK. She assumed control by making allegations of sexual improprieties against the Grand Dragon.

Well McCains camp must think Hillary will pull it out -—That is why he is pandering for the black vote -—He hopes the poed black voters will go his way

Either that or he is just trying to suck up to the MSM

The dems have always been like little kids. Their primary will come down to “Well, we’ll just nominate no one”, or they’ll end up with a new candidate who won’t mind getting trounced in November.
Clinton, Obama, and the dem party have too much to lose to allow one to lose to the other.
Again I say there will be no convention in Denver.

Oh. This article was authored by Geoffrey Dunn. Geoffrey Dunn–Teaching Statement 2000-01:

I began to read the works of critical thinkers on the issue of education-Ivan Illich's Deschooling Society and Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed and Education For Critical Consciousness.

What he writes in this thread article:

In so doing, Clinton was echoing the views of rightwing conservative and white supremacist Sean Hannity. Talk about shameful.

The above of Geoffrey's concerning Sean Hannity is directly the result of Geoffrey's Ingestion of Freire's works.

Geoffrey thinks Harry Belafonte is tres kewl.

“If Obama were a white man, he wouldn’t be in this position”

Geraldine Ferraro spoke the only true words to come out of the Clinton campaign so far.

Geraldine Ferraro is correct. If a white man with Obama's thin resume ran for President, he'd be laughed out of the national contest. If anything, Obama has been privileged on account of his skin color. These days, if one is a minority, the culture tends to give them the benefit of the doubt even when it isn't deserved.

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:

If Hillary win - which is extremely unlikely, then we will have eight more years of Clintons with Bill chasing interns, getting even with Juanita, and who knows what else. If Obama wins, he will barely last the four years and he does not have the base to do as much damage as the Clinton. Still, there is the Rev. Wright issue. McCain is too unstable, uninformed, creepy, and will assure that we'll have a one-party system. I could not vote for any of these three clown.
