...But I'm here. I've decided to take a hiatus from political blogging. I think I've said all that needs to be said and I know that as long as the world spins, politics will continue, but now I've decided to take to the sociological and anthropological scopes for a while.Here is the blog: Garage SociologistHope to see you there!

Instead this porn had weeping rednecks, weeping red-baiting soccer moms, weeping Race-baiting preachers, weeping toothless conspiracy theorists, and on toothless, self-hating porch simian who defended the lot’s open hatred of the Obama campaign by

With bail set for Oscar Grant's murderer, Johannes Mehserle at $3 million, he continues to stick to his defense that he was "going for his taser". Prosecutor, John Creighton has stated that, “If he intended to pull his Taser and pulled his service weapon by mistake, why would he say to another officer after the fact, ‘I thought he was going for a gun’?

You see, it's been almost two months since I've visited or wrote about the PUMAs and it's been a liberating experience.

The best strategy to end the increasingly bloody occupation is for Israel to become the target of the kind of global movement that put an end to apartheid in South Africa.In July 2005 a huge coalition of Palestinian groups laid out plans to do just that. They called on "people of conscience all over the world to impose broad boycotts

Naturally, Americans interviewed on the street of America for responses to the shoe throwing incident see the shoe thrower as some immature freak or his actions as 'acting out'. But in the Middle East, throwing a shoe is symbolic of the shame and disrespect you wish to hurl at someone. But why would an Iraqi journalist, part of the Iraqi press core and obviously not enbedded, do such a thing?I

Over the years I've written about the ear wax-color effect as a result of black people trying to "blond" themselves up. Of course all that is another attempt consciously or unconsciously to seek out the godliness and purity of the slave master or colonizer. Of course black folk aren't the only ones.

In the face of a failing economy ad at the beginning of what could be massive layoffs as projected in this article, Chicago workers of Republic Windows & Doors staged a sit-in at their factory to protest being laid-off and the plant's shutdown on Friday, December 5th.I can only guess that the national attention of what these brave workers did these past five days was due to the audacity of not

Since I started blogging, I have always written a rant or two about how much I hate the holidays. And I have always tried to politicize, somewhat, my rantings to hide the stink of my negativity towards Yuletide, cheer and mistletoe-ho,ho,hoing. But just as my smoke screening of my personal hatred of the end-of-year holidays is a thinly veiled idealogical ploy to hide my anger and bile of

In academic hell, yet I'm so tempted to come out of retirement and return to broadcasting - even though the difference will be Internet radio as opposed to the real radio I was doing back in the 90s. There are so much going on that I don't know what to write about or talk about first. Whatever. What do you guys think I should do?

Even though I lived and breathed Ishmael Reed in my 20s, the man has been under my radar for th past decade. No particular reason, but I wasn't loving on the last book of essays too much probably because I deconstruct race in the media as he does, so there were no surprises there. But his last book of essays, Mixing It Up: Taking On the Media Bullies and Other Reflections was totally missed by me

No American President will be able to stem the tide of the coming economic crisis.

I like this video - not because of the so-called 'victory' for leftists and progressives whop supported Obama during the primaries, but because of Naomi's imparting of historical perspective in the face of the global economic crisis as tghis election comes to a close.

I have a theory.For years I used to see certain organizations on the left (they shall remain nameless) that used to use plants in order to create some media theater to highlight an issue. You see, they'd get a person, sometimes someone from a family shelter and come down to, say a city council meeting and they would suddenly speak out with the talking points of said organization.

I think I know why Heath Ledger's performance in the Dark Knight was loved so well.1.Because he lies rotting and stinkin' in the Earth as I write this – people are suckers for pretty dead things2.Because the other aspects of the flick; plot, acting (except Heath's), directing, and production was so mind numbingly boring, canned, and typical.

If I wasn't so lazy I'd have something more to say about the post-Apartheid South Africa and it's failed leadership since the 90s, but it is a very complex issue that deserves to be a series of posts.No, today, I just want to reflect on Nelson Mandela's life and work and say happy birthday......and also, how much I hated that horrible VH1 televised celebration on his life.Man, I saw that shit at

I snatched the above title of an article from this article Free Republic's moon-bat, tin hat-wearing site because with all their ranting and paranoia, they desperately need to see Obama as a true leftist president to justify their attacks. But it seems that on the opposite end of that political spectrum, the American Left needs to desperately see Barack in the same light – only they seek reasons

Got this message from my older daughter's godfather and my good friend, E:....I have reconnected to a small extent with some of the politics I love. I expect to be in Denver for the DNC. No, I won’t be there for Obama speeches, but hanging with the unwashed masses. I expect to be working with various rad elements to do projects, as well as some speaking before groups, etc. I’m helping with a web

Due to the fact that I haven’t had a daddy-daughter day with the oldest in a long time, and also due to the fact that last Friday was the first Friday off for summer hours at the job, the 8 y/o and I decided that we would go to the movies. At first the top choice was Prince Caspian, then it devolved to Get Smart, then the 8 y/o finally decided on Wall-E. “Damn,” I thought, “Another CGI

On June 19, 2008, the appellant court of New York determined that the convictions against Renata Hill and Terrain Dandridge were unfounded and dismissed them.Almost two years ago on Aug. 16, 2006, seven of our sisters were hanging out in Manhattan visiting from New Jersey.

Rodstarz and G1 of Rebel Diaz were beaten and arrested by cops on June 18, 2008 for filming the officer's typical harassment of a fruit vendor.The G1 and Rodstarz went over to monitor the cops' actions closely when they saw the police getting aggressive and verbally abusive with the street vendor. They began to film the incident with their phones and asked for the officers badge numbers. They

Who will fill his footprints?If ever asked who were the most progressive, forward thinking comedians of our time naturally I will say Richard Pryor, but co-chairing that biumvirate, would be George Carlin.I grew up with Richard, but I didn't know of Carlin's work until I saw him on some special on TV back in '77. I didn't think he was funny then, but later realized why. In the 80s we had cable

I wonder what a security hack or mercenary like Larry C Johnson of No Quarter has under his finger nails? Oh well I'm currently rereading a real asset to leftist thought and info; Philip Agee's White Paper WhiteWash. A paranoid closet-FReeper like Larry Johnson couldn't hold Agee's sweaty jock strap. I think the content and focus of his blog proves that.Enjoy this video from back in the day.

Hat tip to Sokari of Black Looks. I read about this film today.I've heard and read often of the upheavals in Haiti back in the 90s we all thought some form of stability would come to Haiti, not because he was the most revolutionary leader, but because he was at least a democratically elected leader that the working class and peasantry voted for. But instead, he was whisked away supposedly "for

Pass this around and sign the petition:*Statement of Black Men Against the Exploitation of Black Women* Six years have gone by since we first heard the allegations that R.

Well, another Father's day has passed and although I've never felt the need to acknowledge that day, for the first time ever, I want to post something about yesterday - this Father's day. You see, this father’s day couldn’t be like any other Father’s Day because the peculiarities are tied into the peculiarities of this year’s election. Obama decided to be ‘controversial’ yesterday by giving

The Global Privileges of WhitenessBy Kendall Clark Whiteness is ownership of the earth — W.E.B. Du Bois I use the term white supremacy … I intend a latitudinarian conception, one that encompasses de facto and de jure white privilege and refers more broadly to the European domination of the planet that has left us with the racialized distributions of economic, political, and cultural power that we
