June
15, 2006 -- Black
Caucus Caves to Corporate Power
Since
black communities are shorted when it comes to cable and internet
access, communications reform is definitely a black issue. But
black
members of Congress actually voted in grater numbers against the

February
9, 2006 -- Failure
of the Black Misleadership Class
The
black political leadership class, which is virtuyally indistinguishable
from the black business class, has utterly failed to offer any
strategic vision for the uplift of the black masses upon
whose backs they have risen to relative power, influence and
affluence. Do they know anything, besides how to get themselves
paid?

Mecca: The End of an Illusion
Atlanta,
which leads the nation in the production of black millionaires, also
is first in the percentage of its children in poverty. Black
America’s business leadership class in Atlanta and nationally
definitely knows how to get paid. But does it know how to achieve
health care, education, jobs and justice for African Americans? Are
these concerns even on its radar?

the Left Lives: Black America at its Core
“Liberal”

conceals important differences and useful distinctions. Liberal
America, which ought more precisely to be called “Left American”
is clustered mainly around its centers of black population.

epidemic.

Incarceration is an Abomination
Should
have been titled, “Mass Incarceration is a Political Abomination”.

of African Americans can be made into the galvanizing issue of a new
mass movement.
July
22, 2005 -- Ten
Worst Places to be Black in America
Black
Enterprise magazine produces, at irregular intervals, a list of the
“ten best” cities for blacks, but ranks them according to
criteria which have little to do with the way life is actually lived
in most African American communities. What would a truly relevant
index look like?

Time to Build a Mass Movement
