The Key To Ethnic & Class Solidarity Is Whites Eradicating White Supremacy

White supremacy did not begin by coincidence, and it will not be undone by accident. That which was intentionally produced, must be deliberately eradicated.

White Supremacist Chaos in Charlottesville Is Just the Beginning

The logic of ‘race as a social construct’ must be tightened and the focus sharpened. Just as it is unhelpful, to say the least, to euphemize racial slavery in continental Anglo-America as ‘the Peculiar Institution,’ instead of identifying the "White race," itself, as the truly peculiar institution governing the life of the country after

I’m Tired, But I’m Not Finished: Are We Ready To Call It Racism Now?

It seems we live in an American society that is hellbent on euthanizing black hope and injecting our despair and frustration with adrenaline. We abide in a country that counts our lives as cheap, and through brutal conditioning has taught too many us to feel the same.

People join hands against the backdrop of an American flag

A note from the author: Many things have transpired since I last penned a piece for MintPress News, but I am reminded of an old saying: “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” I’ve felt the tug and the pull of picking up the pen, so to speak, but the inertia of health and honest-to-goodness heartache concerning the subject,

I Remember Mama: One Man And Boy’s Odyssey Through Abuse

Data clearly and consistently show that mothers abuse their children more frequently than fathers. Yet we seem generally unconcerned about maternal abuse, often telling the male victims who have been hurt by their mothers to “suck it up” and “take it like a man.”

Writer’s note: I wrote a piece last week on domestic abuse and was ready to move on to another subject. It seems that although I thought I was done with the topic, the topic was not done with me. Born in the 1960s to a 14-year-old mother, I am one of those individuals who came into the world at a time when the word “Negro” was still being placed

There’s something very important that we’re not talking about when we talk about domestic violence.

Hope

I approach this writing with some trepidation because it will run counter in some areas to the current debate regarding domestic violence. When wading in these highly volatile and controversial waters, one finds that disclaimers – like life jackets – must be affixed to the body of the argument.   Violence against women Women and girls

“Justifiable” White Violence And The History Of The Criminalization Of Blackness

We must, all of us, insist that one life in this country doesn’t have more value than another.

Police arrest a protestor an as they disperse a protest against the shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed black man, in Ferguson, Mo.

There has been a long and troubled history in this country of making righteous white violence and intimidation, while criminalizing skin color -- especially as it pertains to black and brown people. White violence and intimidation is usually bathed in declarations of patriotism and dried off with the American flag. And when it can’t be thus

Conspiracy Realists And The American Xenophobic Impulse

I am a conspiracy realist. Certain conspiracies are real. History shows conspiracy theorists are right much more often than the mobs that hunted them.

"A popular Government without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives." -- James Madison How many times have we witnessed the truth-teller

The Far Right’s Horrific Monster Bash

Who are the real vampires in America: the right-wing’s cartoonish portrayal of «illegal» immigrants, or the bloodsucking exploits of the corporate world?

Some pretty ghoulish things have been taking place in our society, and in particular, in our nation’s capital. The terror of economic uncertainty – due in large part to the nightmarish games that are being played by the majority in our government’s House of horrors – continually grips us. We find ourselves in a real-life geopolitical H.G. Wellsian
