Why are we not asking this question to our Black leaders? If our country is so hateful and racist towards blacks than how on God's green earth have we gotten to a point where the majority of white people voted for a black President? How did a black man even get to a point where he was able to run for president? The better question is what has that black man who rose up from poverty done to help our country further overcome this obstacle that is preventing our country from truly becoming United?
Many, if not most, of the inner cities which have the worst conditions for black people, where black people really have no where to excel and strive without leaving altogether are run by black mayors and black city counsel members. There is not a white or Republican leader anywhere in sight of...

Hello Julian,
I tried twice to call you - the calls were blocked. I then tried to email you, but since you did not answer I assume the email was also blocked.
To be clear and to the point, you are a direct threat to the American oligarchy now in place just as my friends John Wheeler, John Pierre Gonyou, Al Chalem, and George Morales were also a threat and were promptly murdered in 2010 , 2001, 1999 and 1991. Cliff Baxter, Vince Foster, Gary Webb, Michael Hastings, Barry Seal, Aaron Swarz, and Seth Rich were also direct threats to the status quo. Like you they stood between corrupt officials and billions of dollars. Like you their silence could not be bought.
Now this only leaves one option remaining, since plan A was foiled by the good people of Ecuador. If not for their...

Hillary Clinton seems to be a lot of things to a lot of different kinds of people in America. It would seem she is an inspiration to some, like a beacon of light in a dark time of political unrest. She appears to advocate for the downtrodden, women, minorities, non-citizens, and refugees. There is the suggestion that her experience as a political organizer, lawyer, first lady, and Secretary of State qualify her as Presidential material. And is it undeniable that she is a very popular candidate.
In what can only be seen as an effort to reach those women still uncertain if they can back her, the “first female major party candidate” (or whatever moniker was used in August when she formally accepted the Democratic nomination) has now written an open letter addressed to young women. I...

Over the next few weeks, you’re going to encounter an astonishing amount of animosity towards the possibility of Monroe allowing the sale of alcohol. These parties will encourage you to do what they believe is “right”, with their admonishment stemming from religious doctrine of various denominations. They will warn you of the horrors that will accompany acceptance; alcohol will be a harbinger of wickedness and sin, reducing our town to a cesspool of unimaginable evil. No good can come from the bottle, and anyone who believes otherwise is ultimately a fool. To back booze is unforgivable.
Do you want to know what one of the best things about our country is? It’s the right to believe whatever you want to believe. Our founding fathers were so gung-ho about this principal that they...

hi,
Yesterday i was in a lecture organized by EML (Extra Mural Lecture) team iit madras. It was delivered by "combat veteran" Major General Gangandeep Bakshi. For those who don't know about his legacy please try to find out (It's more fun having knowledge than spiting shit about some war hero). Let me tell you something….
"His elder brother, Raman Bakshi, an Indian Army officer, was killed in action during his service to the country in the 1965 India-Pakistan War. Soon after graduation from college, He joined the National Defence Academy in June 1967 (a year and a half after his elder brother was killed in action). Quite soon after graduating from the Indian Military Academy on 14 November 1971, Bakshi was called into action at the outbreak of hostilities in the Indo-Pakistani War of...

Dear Mr. Prime Minister
Twenty years of a cataclysmic nation and no rest, no rest of the bullets, shattering the wombs of the mothers, who carried their babies for nine long months, to grow them into a human with a soul of an angel, these mothers’ young angels have died, died of the despair of their being, and yet remains there status unknown, are they the martyrs, militants or the angels of their mothers? The mystery remains, for there are too many opinions being imposed over the same.
I, so well remember the quote by the Mahatma Gandhi, (father of the Indian nation) “When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it...

Your Excellency Sir, though I love writing letters, I am not good at the formal ones. So I will try to make this semi-formal to be able to communicate well in order that I may be understood, if not by all then at least by most Nigerians.
I heard that the intended project on film village in Kano wasn’t successful, fortunate enough for the Kano people and unfortunate for the over-exited film stars. I’m writing this letter to tell you why it isn’t the right time and place to establish a film village.
First of all, the city of Kano to start with, is practically the seat of Islam in Nigeria if I’m not over-exaggerating, and yes, Kano is still a conservative society. It refuses to be civilized because majority of its inhabitants are more or less fanatics of Islam and it better remain so. If...

Happy birthday Mr President
The original letter to President Obama was e mailed to the White House on August 4th.
Dear Mr President,
For your birthday, CAFÉ FOR CHANGE has created together with ItiMa, The Itinerant Museum of Art, a special Barack For Change mug with artwork by Daniel Völker. We hope you like it. Daniel used 3,600 US postage stamps.
We wish you a happy birthday, and we hope that you and Mrs Obama can help coffee, tea and chocolate lovers end poverty and create a middle class in the rural communities that produce coffee, chai and cacao. It is easy, if WeShare at least 10CentsPerCup with them.
WeShare is our plan for a transparent shared value system that can align consumers in developed nations with compensation of at least 10CentsPerCup going to the...

Re: Millennium Apartheid, proudly brought to you by Democratic Alliance.
Immediately after after elections a new hashtag surfaced on social media and started trending, it said #IfDAwins. Many thought the apartheid government will come back and it will be the same as that of Verwoed. I'm of the view that won't happen, however we will see a new form of apartheid government know as millennium apartheid which won't use guns and teargas to undermine the black people, but will use the gapes in our constitution to make sure that blacks are undermined.
DA will ensure that the rich becomes richer and the poor becomes poorer. They would do that by continuously defending the unfair economic advantage enjoyed by the minority. Any law aiming to undo the dirty work of...
