Consider the present day euphoria over something that took place hundreds of years ago with careful scrutiny, as it is waning and rightfully so. The following clips illuminate the reasons why Columbus day and the history upon which it stands merits no value whatsoever. Be enlightened by these keepers of African lore. And for those of you (black & white) who tend to look upon African historians with doubt and suspicion, I have included a link to the Dr. Katherine Albrecht Show of Monday Oct. ...

So often we hear of the black gangs in L.A. as an altogether destructive force whose only purpose was to wreak havoc on the innocently benevolent white neighborhoods just a stone's throw away. Their true histories, however, were shrouded and mired in baseless accusations.
When I first saw this film some years back, I remember just really being cut to the heart so much that I cried bitterly because these gangs were initially formed to protect blacks from the random acts of white mob violence t...

I am always fascinated by the resilience of my African people, whatever their country of origin. Nigeria however, holds a special place in my heart - it being my father's native land. Beset by the natural birthing pains of any burgeoning nation, Nigeria would likewise have to forge it's own destiny out of rock and steel. Though, with the discovery of petroleum in the Biafran regions came the subtle goading by Western agents upon the unsuspecting inhabitants to seek the formation of their very...

While I have always been fascinated by the history of the Jews chiefly from an ecclesiastical stand point, I am quite amazed @how many people of even great renown distrusted them - and with good reason. Apparently, there seems to have been a common thread of scheming throughout the very long and extensive history of the Jews and their dealings as Merchants. While the video itself is very informative and indeed factual, I would be remiss if I did not mention that its author(s) are proponents o...

This morning, I was able listen to an interesting conversation about the African continent with an emphasis on Darfur, which is in Sudan - you guys knew where that was of course. Radio Dickson interviews the co author of the book, The Scramble for Africa, Steven Fake. There are only two short clips. You can listen here.

When I first saw this film two years ago I was so deeply moved. It gives me great pride to learn of such noble representatives and keepers of African lore like Dr. John Henrik Clarke. His criticisms are incisive and unbiased, for the most part anyway. In the film however, Dr. Clarke mentions that his left-leaning contemporaries had made no serious study of blacks in the Diaspora. Fortunately, since his time so much more scholarly analysis has been brought to bear on the subject and with it, a...
