PAST ISSUES refers to the past weekly
issues of this publication, Black Agenda Report. Links to the
articles in each of our past issues can be found on this page.
In addition, links to the articles in the previous four issues
can be found in the bottom right hand column of every issue,
and every article in any issue.
ARCHIVES refers to the work of Bruce
Dixon, Glen Ford, Margaret Kimberley and Leutisha Stills which
appeared originally in Black
Commentator, an enterprise that BAR's Glen Ford co-founded
and edited until August 2006. Before making our internet home
at Black Agenda Report, Glen Ford, Bruce Dixon, Margaret
Kimberley and Leutisha Stills of CBC Monitor, published much
of our work there.
Since the index page for Black Commentator's back
issues can’t be accessed without a $50 subscription, we
here present our own index to what is and remains our own work over there. Gradually we will get around to housing copies of all our past work which originally appeared in Black Commentator on this site.

The so-called war on terror is a palpable fraud. It is enemy propaganda that leaves us no choice but to vote for the politicians who can scare us the most. This is a contest Democrats cannot win and should not play. And we must not let them.

AMERICAN GENOCIDE
When Columbus invaded America there were more than 15 million native Americans in what is now the U.S. By 1890 there were 300,000, a 97% death rate. Our nation sits on the bones on one of the greatest genocides in human history.

WHERE IS THE BLACK CHURCH ON IRAQ?
African Americans overwhelmingly oppose the war in IRaq, and have done so since its beginning. 650,000 Iraqis are now dead, compared to less than 3,000 Americans, a ratio of 200 to 1. Why then, do we allow black preachers in black churches to pray every Sunday ONLY for the Americans “in harm's way” and not for the other 99% of the dead, who are Iraqis?.

MYTH OF THE MELTING POT
White Americans frequently celebrate the US as a “Melting Pot”. The phrase is actually taken from an early 20th century play that lauds the US as a “melting pot” for it called the “races” of Europe alone, transforming them into what we now call “white” Americans.

WAR IS THE HEALTH OFTHE STATE
America's leaders need war, like vampires need blood. Even if it's war on a noun.
In fact, in an era where politicians create and exploit fear to stay in power, the so-called “war on terror” is an invaluable political tool, something they cannot do without.
