The Law and its Moral Dictates

Posted by Tarus on Saturday, June 27, 2009, In : Quotes & Proverbs 

People always devise their own justifications. Fixed and immovable Law merely provides a convenient structure within which to hang your justifications and the prejudices behind them. The only universally acceptable law for mortals would be one which fitted every justification. What obvious nonsense. Law must expose prejudice and question justification. Thus, Law must be flexible, must change to fit new demands. Otherwise, it becomes merely the justification of the powerful

Learning other Languages

Posted by Tarus on Friday, June 26, 2009, In : Encouragement 

I have a special appreciation for those of us that have decidedly forged ahead with dogged determination in learning other languages, especially ones commonly perceived as being too difficult.  The undertaking of a foreign tongue cultivates the mind, character, and sometimes even the soul.  It enables you to begin to value and understand to a certain degree other cultures, affording you greater insight, respect, and admiration.

This video is encouraging and proves that We

Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmicheal) on Pan-Africanism

Posted by Lamont Cranston on Wednesday, June 24, 2009, In : Quotes & Proverbs 

Pan-Africanism is grounded in the belief that Africa is one; the artificial borders being the result of the Berlin conference, where European powers carved up the continent and divided the spoils among themselves. Pan-Africanism is grounded in the belief that all African peoples, wherever we may be, are one, and as Dr. Nkrumah says,"belong to the African nation"; our dispersal was the result of European imperialism and racism. Pan-Africanism is grounded in socialism which has its roots in com...

Understanding the Iranian Psyop

Posted by Tarus on Tuesday, June 23, 2009, In : International Relations 

The Iranian Psyop
is in full effect here in the United States of America. The media and a good deal of spineless politicians are in on the bid, helping to push the sham rumblings of a disaffected secular Iranian youth in this so called "Green Revolution". Many of its participants understandably seek to mitigate laws of the somewhat repressive theocratic government  by voting for Mousavi, the leading opposition candidate adamantly contesting recent election results.

However...

Black Selfish Ambition or A United Black Community Uplift effort (Choose)

Posted by Lamont Cranston on Sunday, June 21, 2009, In : Quotes & Proverbs 
In this untoward situation the negro finds himself at the close of the third generation from Emancipation. He has been educated in the sense that persons directed a certain way are more easily controlled, or as Ovid remarked,'in time the bull is brought to bear the yoke.'  The Negro in this state continues as a child. he is restricted in his sphere to small things, and with these he becomes satisfied. His ambition does not rise any higher than to plunge into the competition with his fellows f...

Hapless Optimism

Posted by Tarus on Friday, June 19, 2009, In : Quotes & Proverbs 

Some stories just don't have happy endings. But we Americans suffer from an optimism others interpret as naivaté. Maybe that's why we sit in front of our TV sets gazing mindlessly at horrific video images looped by cable news outlets. Maybe we believe if we watch the space shuttle replay enough times it will race into the heavens instead of violently crashing to earth. Or maybe, just maybe, the second plane will miss the South Tower on the one hundredth viewing of that grim video clip on Sep...

Secret Malcolm X recording with FBI Agents

Posted by Tarus on Tuesday, June 16, 2009, In : Xfiles 

This is why we loved him, because of his undying loyalty to his people even in the most dire of circumstances; because of his tact; and because he was relentless in pushing the black agenda of self-love, unity, hope and sacrifice for each other. Selling Out was not an option for him. KNOW THIS: The government's implicit and explicit actions to destabilize pro-black movements of self-development continue unabated. Just because there is a black man at the helm doesn't mean that they'll do an ab...

Beautiful Black Faces II

Posted by Tarus on Sunday, June 14, 2009, In : Encouragement 

Many black people will swear that they love their black skin and their black people. Yet they treat other blacks especially of low
"status" with contempt and curse out each other @the slightest provocation - truly the mark of a slave race. They laugh off the racists jokes from white employees though, which do indeed hurt. Why not embrace your people. Learn to love them. Help correct their mistakes with patience and understanding since you're so enlightened. Learn to love them in spite of thei...

A Win Win for Banks!

Posted by Tarus on Saturday, June 13, 2009, In : Economics 

I've always encourage our people to understand and learn how the flow of money works, for it is Commerce and Trade not Politics that determine all other outcomes. For far too long, real black progress has been stymied by our hapless  preoccupation of politics, which is essentially theater or ceremonial @best. The Montgomery Boycott achieved success ultimately because the pocket book of the State of Alabama was hurting, not because they had all of a sudden grown a conscience or a soul. The inf...
