        <description><![CDATA[From: Oliver Willis Did you enjoy the Iraq War? Well, the Weekly Standard wants to do it again, with a new article arguing that sure, Obama got Bin Laden killed and has arrested or killed 20 of the most wanted Al Qaeda terrorists, but never mind because Iran is part of the Axis of Evil. No, seriously. Let [...]]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: The Black Headband Huckster Donald Trump shaking hands with Republican Mitt RomneyIt should be no surprise that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is backtracking on that comment he made about the poor. If you missed it, Mitt said he doesn't care about poor people because they have a safety net. Even after CNN's Soledad O'Brien checked him on it, but he refused to retract his statement. And up until yesterday, he didn't see anything wrong with what he said.In typical Republican fashion, Romney commenced to chiding reporters for taking his words out of context and misunderstanding what he said. &nbsp;The camera does not lie, Mitt. &nbsp;You looked straight back at Soledad O'Brien and doubled down on your comments about the poor. &nbsp;You can't really blame reporters for something that you said. &nbsp;We are lucky during those candid moments that Romney lets us see what kind of person he really is and what he really thinks. &nbsp;He doesn't care about rich people either because he knows they ar]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Acting White "Mormonism (or the doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) teaches that baptism by water is a necessary ordinance for people to return to God their Heavenly Father. Mormons assert that the ordinance must be performed in the proper way and with the authority of Christ's priesthood.Many people have died without receiving a valid baptism, and they cannot undergo this precious ritual as mere spirits. "Because all on the earth do not have the opportunity to accept the gospel during mortality, the Lord has authorized baptisms performed by proxy for the dead. Therefore, those who accept the gospel in the spirit world may qualify for entrance into God's kingdom" One thing that should be made perfectly clear about Mormon baptisms for the dead is that each deceased soul has the personal choice to accept or reject it. There is nothing in Mormonism that states that the person who is being baptized by proxy must accept this ordinance; he or she is simply given the opportunity]]></description>

		by BAR managing editor Bruce A. Dixon

		State of the Union speeches usually throw bones in every direction, to every constituency that matters to a president. But even though black male unemployment is at record levels, even higher than when the president declared the &ldquo;recession&rdquo; over, it remains beneath the notice of the First Black President.

	&nbsp;

	by BAR editor and senior columnist Margaret Kimberley

	Australia&rsquo;s aboriginals &ndash; her original people &ndash; were nearly wiped out by the invading British, starting in 1788. &ldquo;Their lands were stolen, they were killed by new diseases, and even their children were taken from them as late as the 20th century.&rdquo; Yet they struggle to maintain their dignity in a thoroughly racist land. A recent aboriginal demonstration frightened Australia&rsquo;s prime minister, prompting accusations that the aboriginals were showing bad manners. But, &ldquo;What are bad manners in comparison to genocide?&rdquo;

	by BAR editor and columnist Marsha Coleman-Adebayo

	Poverty is closer to the norm in the United States than most Americans realize. &ldquo;More than half of Americans earn $26,000 a year &ndash; barely above the poverty level of $22,000 a year.&rdquo; Yet the U.S. spends 50 percent more per person on health care than Europe, with deplorable results, especially for Black children.

        <description><![CDATA[From: Black Agenda Report corporate_school_reform02.jpg        
        


	A Black Agenda Radio commentary by BAR managing editor Bruce A. Dixon

	What&#39;s three years of crusading against public schools and their teachers, three years of anti-democratic corporate school reform compared to a couple paragraphs in a presidential State of the Union address? It&#39;s base and blatant hypocrisy. If corporate media still practiced actual journalism, this might be an instructive comparison to lay before their readers. Should the Obama administration should follow its own advice about not demonizing teachers, and not relying on high-stakes testing? Or should we continue with the failed experiment of corporate school reform?

	by Linn Washington Jr. 

	Months after the threat of his execution was removed &ndash; and 30 years after his conviction on charges of killing a policeman &ndash; Mumia Abu-Jamal last week entered the general prison population. Abu-Jamal&rsquo;s release from isolation in Administrative Custody followed a worldwide mobilization of his supporters, who charge that &ldquo;authorities misuse Administrative Custody as repression against inmates for their political activism, their complaining about poor conditions in prison, their roles as jailhouse lawyers and often for racist reasons.&rdquo;

	&nbsp;

	A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Glen Ford

	A right-wing think tank has issued a report proclaiming &ldquo;The End of the Segregated Century.&rdquo; The study, however, &ldquo;may well have merely taken a snap-shot of a society in flux,&rdquo; rather than one headed towards widespread integration in housing patterns. Whites, who &ldquo;have always been the architects of segregation in the U.S., either by public and private design or the through the hysteria of white flight,&rdquo; do appear much more willing to mix with Hispanics and Asians, than with Blacks.

	&ldquo;The United States is waging a terroristic war against at least four nations,&rdquo; but its president is somehow perceived as &ldquo;cool.&rdquo; Obama&rsquo;s fans, the corporate media and, apparently, the commander-in-chief himself see no contradiction between coolness and international criminality. &ldquo;Barack Obama has surpassed George Bush in lawlessness.&rdquo; He&rsquo;s &ldquo;cool like Jesse James.&rdquo;

	&ldquo;I think we are going to hear more voices of opposition coming from all sectors of Black leadership, and certainly from the most hard pressed sections of the Black population,&rdquo; said Dr. Tony Monteiro, professor of African American Studies at Temple University, in Philadelphia. &ldquo;The decline and disappearance of the Black middle class is not going to go unnoticed.&rdquo; Seventy-four percent of Blacks see the split between rich and poor as &ldquo;a manifestation of a deep class conflict in society,&rdquo; said Dr. Monteiro, citing recent studies by the Pew Center for Research. &ldquo;You&rsquo;ve got this residual radicalism, from the period of mass struggle, civil rights and anti-war activism that is manifested in Black identification with socialism. But then when it comes to Obama, everything gets irrational.&rdquo; Fifty-five pe]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Brown Man Thinking Hard Red Tails is without a doubt the most expensive ABC after  school special ever made.  I went home after seeing it and immediately  downloaded A Soldier’s Story from Amazon to flush Red Tail’s  god awful dialogue out of my head. I guess I’m supposed to be pleased  that George Lucas poured over $100 million dollars of his own money into  this project when Hollywood studios kept vetoing his fictional  depiction of the exploits of a squadron from the all black 332nd Fighter Group.  I am certainly happy that the actors found paying jobs in an industry  that has very few roles for black men. If the Oscars had a category for  “historical feature film about the military with the least amount of  profanity”, this movie would win hands down.

	&nbsp;

	by BAR executive editor Glen Ford

	President Obama had hoped to put on a big show &ndash; a huge con, really &ndash; at his State of the Union address, by announcing a monetary &ldquo;settlement&rdquo; of massive banker criminality in housing foreclosures. &ldquo;Obama&rsquo;s operatives have doggedly pressed for a settlement that would effectively give banks immunity from prosecution.&rdquo; But he was thwarted by a small group of state attorneys general that wanted a real investigation into &ldquo;the crime of the century.&rdquo; So the president &ldquo;was finally forced to set up a federal unit of his own.&rdquo; Since Obama&rsquo;s own law enforcers have failed to send a single banker to jail, Wall Street immunity is likely to remain the real State of the Union.

	by BAR editor and senior columnist Margaret Kimberley

	&ldquo;Americans can expect to see a presidential address within the next few months, announcing bombings, drone attacks or an outright invasion with ground troops against Iran.&rdquo; The momentum of war makes the result nearly inevitable. But the obligation to resist war remains paramount. &ldquo;Iran has been demonized so thoroughly that only the most ardent peace activists will come to its defense, but defend it they must.&rdquo;

	&nbsp;

	A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Glen Ford

	It is no longer unthinkable that Barack Obama could face Newt Gingrich in November. If that happens, the political lines will be unequivocally drawn around race &ndash; and only race. But Black people will have no defender. &ldquo;The issue in a contest between Obama and Gingrich will be the same as between Gingrich and Juan Williams, a slimy Black right-winger who claims African Americans wallow in a culture of &lsquo;victimhood.&rsquo;&rdquo; Sound familiar? Maybe that&rsquo;s because &ldquo;the coded language and euphemisms of white supremacy are deployed by both Republicans and Democrats, and forms the core of American political speech.&rdquo; 

	For &ldquo;cracker&rdquo; references, read the story.

	A Black Agenda Radio commentary by BAR managing editor Bruce A. Dixon

	In official folklore, the US armed forces are the virtuous repositories of honor, probity and moral virtue. But the real history and culture of the US military, from invading Spanish Florida to prevent its being a refuge for escaped slaves, to Wounded Knee, to massacres in Haiti and Central America, to Fallujah and marines pissing on Afghan corpses, are something else altogether.

	A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Glen Ford

	It&rsquo;s not enough that President Obama has Wall Street in his back pocket &ndash; or, is it the reverse? &ndash; but he also has loyal operatives among what passes for the Left. Daily Kos, In These Times and Democracy Now! misrepresented, and miscounted, last week&rsquo;s Occupy Harlem-led protest at the Apollo Theater. In These Times writer Allison Kilkenny took a step backward in time, treating white Occupy Wall Street demonstrators like &ldquo;outside agitators&rdquo; for protesting Obama in Harlem. &ldquo;Kilkenny doesn&rsquo;t think Black progressives have the right to ask white and Latino progressives to attend Black-led demonstrations in Black neighborhoods.&rdquo;

	&nbsp;

	by Nellie Hester Bailey

	Pro-Obama media seemed to claim that last week&rsquo;s highly successful protest in Harlem was a &ldquo;white&rdquo; affair. They are actually suggesting that &ldquo;Blacks are incapable of critical thinking and analysis regarding Obama&rsquo;s presidency,&rdquo; says one of the organizers. The demonstration outside the Apollo Theater &ldquo;was called by Occupy Harlem and lead by Occupy Harlem.&rdquo; Obama, in case these critics failed to notice, is still the President of the United States, and it is Obama, not Mitt Romney, who &ldquo;just eviscerated the most fundamental rights of US citizens by signing NDAA.&rdquo; One thing is certain. &ldquo;Whether Obama or Romney is elected president, we can be sure that the attacks on the poor and working people, on civil liberties and on global human rights will continue and so will our protests.&rdquo;

	&nbsp;

	by Marsha Coleman-Adebayo

	Much of the so-called &ldquo;American Dream&rdquo; has always been a myth: for example, the national commitment to the proposition that all men are created equal. But the chance of upward mobility was, at one time, a real one (for white men), compared to old Europe. No more. &ldquo;Americans enjoy less economic mobility than their peers in Canada and much of Western Europe.&rdquo; Some of the factors that have destroyed mobility include &ldquo;more children raised by single mothers, &lsquo;uniquely high incarceration rates,&rsquo; &lsquo;pay in America tilts heavily toward those who have&rsquo; education and &ldquo;access to better schools.&rdquo;

	Mumia Abu Jamal is out of death row but consigned to the twilight zone &ndash; or purgatory &ndash; of administrative custody placement, a status that seems to mean whatever prison officials say it means. &ldquo;His transfer to general population, where he would have contact visits, access to prison services and programs, etc.&mdash;has been, uh, delayed.&rdquo; Abu Jamal&rsquo;s incarceration &ldquo;echoes&rdquo; that of George Jackson, shot down by guards 40 years ago. &ldquo;One day, perhaps sooner than we suppose,&rdquo; writes Mumia &ldquo;we shall look back at the phenomenon of mass incarceration and the prison industrial complex as proof of a mad society.&rdquo; Said George Jackson: &ldquo;Dialectics, understanding, love, passive resistance, they won&#39;t work on an activistic, maniacal, gory pig.&rdquo;

	Of course President Obama assured the world that no US troops would be deployed to Libya. Barack tells us about as much of the truth as any US president, which is to say not much, often not any. Unnoticed by the US press, the empire&#39;s military are consolidating the rule of the so-called National Transitional council, and claiming their prize --- unrestricted access to bases deep in the Sahara, on the borders of Sudan, Chad and Mali, from which special forces and drones can be quickly dispatched to corners of Africa unreachable before now...

	by Abayomi Azikiwe

	America&rsquo;s African proxies are waging a &ldquo;three-prong attack in several regions&rdquo; of Somalia, in a war instigated by George Bush in late 2006 and expanded by Barack Obama. In that time, Somalis have suffered two catastrophic humanitarian crises that claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands and displaced millions. U.S. drones have killed hundreds in the current offensive, involving troops from Kenya, Ethiopia, and mostly Ugandan and Burundian soldiers fighting under African Union auspices. The Al Shabaab resistance continues to put up a determined defense. &ldquo;The current military interventions in Somalia harbor a strong strategic underpinning,&rdquo; given the discovery of large oil deposits in the country.

	If the current system of rule of, by and for the rich is truly in its terminal stages, as some believe, then it&rsquo;s about time to envision new or transitional ways of living. The author has ten suggestions, including reparations for America&rsquo;s &ldquo;original crimes&rdquo;: genocide, land theft, and slavery. &ldquo;If those in government and those in power do not help the people do what is right, people seeking change must together exercise our human rights and bring about these changes directly.&rdquo;

	Hundreds Protest Obama in Harlem

	About 400 people gathered in Harlem to protest President Obama&rsquo;s foreign and domestic policies. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re here to send a clear message to President Obama that he cannot come to Harlem without receiving a scathing message about his service to the 1%,&rdquo; said Nellie Bailey, of Occupy Harlem, which called for the demonstration. Preventive detention was high on the list of grievances. &ldquo;Without a doubt, it&rsquo;s the rise of a police state,&rdquo; said Bailey. Occupy Wall Street, MoveOn, and Stop Stop-and-Frisk sent delegations to the protest outside of the Apollo Theater, where the President held a fundraiser. &ldquo;I never thought he would sell out like this,&rdquo; said Jose LaSalle, of Stop Stop-and-Frisk,&rdquo; to the point he would sign a bill like this and know how it affects minorities and people who are fighting for justice]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Greg Jones' BLACKS 4 BARACK ! BLOG Who REALLY Gets Food Stamps ?By Dr. Julianne Malveaux-President, Bennett College for WomenNewt Gingrich is playing racial politics and he is playing to win. First he says that black children should get jobs as janitors (why not suggest they get the same consulting contract he did at Freddie Mac - I'm with Mitt Romney here, what did Gingrich tell Freddie Mac that was worth more than a million dollars). Then he says that he wants to tell the NAACP that we should demand jobs, not food stamps. He so bristles at Fox commentator Juan Williams that he gets a standing O in South Carolina. And he has repeatedly described President Barack Obama as a "food stamp" President. It's race baiting, pure and simple, and few have called him on it.The true food stamp story goes something like this. In 2006 just 26.5 million Americans received food stamps. By 2011 the number had spiked to more than 45 million people. This has been the result of the Great Recession that has left at least 13 million people o]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Acting White From the video above, it is clear that Chuntera Napier, the arrested, while well-meaning, is also very ignorant. At minimum, the recipient of such needs to be eighteen to legally bear the risk of contracting any number of potentially fatal diseases, like hepatitis, from getting a tattoo. The misdemeanor charged Ms. Napier clearly misunderstands, like many folks, that all rights, including those of parenting and religion, derive from the constitution, not the bible, the Koran, the Book of Mormon, or the back of a cereal box. This is a good example of where children, and their desire to make adulthood decision, need protection. I hope the example of Ms. Napier's prosecution sends a strong signal that tattoos are for adults, period.UPDATE: Police are looking for the alleged tattoo artist, but Ms. Napier is not cooperating, so far. The artist could face criminal charges, and so could Ms. Napier, for obstruction.James C. CollierREAD MOST RECENT POSTS AT ACTING WHITE... Technorati Tags: Cobb]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Brown Man Thinking Hard S. rarely says much about current events when we get up in the  morning. But today she was visibly agitated over the visual of the  group, comprised largely of white men, who stood up and clapped when  Newt Gingrich angrily put the CNN debate moderator in his place last  night. If Gingrich’s goal was to be the only topic of conversation going  into the South Carolina GOP primary on Saturday, then he performed  beyond expectations. His televised histrionics, which will be played and  replayed endlessly over the next two days, might even help him win the  South Carolina primary.

But is being the angry white man in the race enough of an asset for Gingrich to win the nomination?

Will white Republican women identify with Callista Gingrich, who carried on a six year affair with  her now husband when he was married to someone else, as their idea of a  future First Lady? Will conservative women who have been replaced by  trophy wives after helping their husbands stay afloat during their l]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: The Black Headband Now that the precious offspring of Beyonce and Jay-Z has been born either by cesearean or by surrogate depending on what news source or gossip blog you want to believe. The media circus surrounding Beyonce's pregnancy, baby bump or lack thereof, was a cross between the outrageous and benign. Now that it's over, I can only wish the Carters and their baby the best however I'm just wondering about Jay-Z .The word bitch has been such a staple of his rap music, most of it denegrating women and referring to women as bitches, hoes and gold diggers. Now that little Blue Ivy has been born, will Jay-Z continue to toss the word bitch around like he's done in the past? Lord knows Beyonce wasn't bothered by '99 Problems' and a Bitch Ain't One'. I'm certain his credibility in the rap world would take a hit if he stopped using the word bitch. Rap&nbsp;is about creativity and personal expression isn't it?Where would rap be without words that degrade women? Bitch and hoe have become eponymous to rap. &]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Acting White I continue to believe that Affirmative Action needs a revision, to focus on the greater inclusive group of economically-disadvantage Americans, rather than race, gender, or otherwise. This would exclude well-off minorities, while including those whites held-down by their meager economic background. Anti-Affirmative Action crusader Ward Connerly was never about this kind of fairness, but rather lining his own pockets, and it seems that it is all catching up to him (here), via a credible insider.Stay Tuned.James C.

	The election season is in full swing, and Democratic tentacles are reaching out to caress the Occupy Wall Street movement and its new, Black partner, Occupy The Dream. How does OWS fight the temptations of cooptation? &ldquo;If nonpartisanship means avoidance of Obama&rsquo;s wars and the destruction of due process of law, or requires hobnobbing with local politicians who all happen to be Democrats and Obama boosters &ndash; then it is a shallow and technical assertion.&rdquo; What the people need, and the movement must provide, is the Truth.

	U.S. troops commit ceaseless atrocities against the peoples they have been sent to subdue and occupy. The victims include women, children, the elderly, the armed, the unarmed, those that run away from the Americans and those who reach out to the foreign soldiers. All categories of the occupied are killable. War and occupation is the root crime, from which all the atrocities flow. &ldquo;Unless the American people declare that they will no longer accept a government that has troops stationed in most of the world&rsquo;s nations, wars and terror will be the norm.&rdquo;

	A vote is a terrible thing to waste, they say. But exactly when are votes wasted? Are they thrown away when cast for the least of multiple evils. Are they squandered when cast for what people really need and want, even if that means a Democrat might not win? Are they lost when people with few or no good choices stay home? Or have voters already been robbed when the menu is limited to corporate-funded Republicans vs. corporate-funded Democrats?

	By signing the preventive detention law that his operatives in Congress helped to craft, President Obama has nullified the pillars of the Bill of Rights: due process of law and freedom of speech. Journalist Chris Hedges is suing the would-be King Obama, while Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan dares the president to charge him with &ldquo;sedition and treason.&rdquo; Every potential political dissenter can now be &ldquo;locked up for the rest of their lives without charge or trial &ndash; essentially, on the president&rsquo;s say-so.&rdquo;

	The Obama administration is, arguably, already at war with Iran by most legal and civilized standards &ndash; a war of economic strangulation and covert aggression. African Americans have historically opposed U.S. wars against the developing world, but Obama has &ldquo;blurred the lines between war and not-war,&rdquo; claiming that his 7-month bombing campaign against Libya was not really a war. Meanwhile, the corporate media &ldquo;is full of fake news about Iranian threats, when it is the Americans who are doing all the threatening, all the killing.&rdquo;

The dictator is hoping for some kind of comeback, and the puppet president &ldquo;will open up Haiti to permanent US occupation and economic exploitation while terrorizing Haitians who fight back.&rdquo; Clinton oversees the whole process on behalf of imperialism.

	Fifteen quotes from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. are carved into his memorial on the Washington Mall, but perhaps his harshest indictment of the United States is absent: &ldquo;&hellip;I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today &ndash; my own government.&rdquo; The omission is glaring at a time when the U.S. is engaged in even more wars than during Dr. King&rsquo;s era. &ldquo;Nor is there any mention that America&#39;s wars are the cause of economic hardship at home.&rdquo;

	The President of South Africa began his rotating month as president of the UN Security Council with a rebuke of the world body&rsquo;s relationship with African states. &ldquo;Although South Africa voted in favor of UN Resolution 1973 that authorized a so-called &lsquo;no-fly zone&rsquo; over Libya, the action was clearly designed to engineer the destruction of the country and the overthrow of the government of Col. Muammar Gaddafi.&rdquo; The UN claimed it acted to protect civilians, but &ldquo;there was never any real evidence of the massacre of Libyan civilians by the Gaddafi government.&rdquo;

	Year 2042 Will Bring Non-White U.S. Majority and Apartheid Economy

	Thirty years from now, the United States will have a non-white majority largely mired in poverty under an &ldquo;apartheid&rdquo; economy, said Tim Sullivan, co-author of a new report titled &ldquo;State of the Dream: The Emerging Majority.&rdquo; By 2042, the report predicts, Blacks will earn 61 cents for every dollar paid to whites &ndash; which is about the same racial earnings ratio that has existed since 1980. Hispanic workers will be even worse off, earning just 45 cents on every white dollar. &ldquo;We simply won&rsquo;t be able to sustain our standard of living, our place in the world&rdquo; with such widespread poverty among the non-white majority, said Sullivan, of Boston-based United for a Fair Economy. Black and Latino wealth is projected to shrivel to pennies compared to white household wealth dollars.
