This morning on CSPAN’s “Washington Journal” many of the callers showed their ignorance and disdain for Blacks and the poor with their comments on government cutbacks/taxes needed to reduce the national deficit and balance the budget. One caller, Richard from South Dakota, went so far as to blame “fat, lazy, slovenly niggers” for the country’s [...]
No matter what country you look to in the world, they are all run by people who live in palaces–not among the people, but instead served by them in a hierarchical structure. And so when you look at the one or the other and say, “This one is better than that one,” we can’t help [...]
During coverage of Israel’s current rash of violence against the people of Palestine in Gaza, the mainstream American media frequently makes the claim that “Hamas started this fight.” They point to Hamas launching rockets into Israel over the past months as evidence of this. Take this and similar claims, with the implication of how Israelis [...]
Listen to audio of this article now! Click here for more episodes of Axiom Amnesia Briefs We reported earlier today that Israel is now making drone strikes on Palestinians in Gaza. They also targeted a high rise media building earlier, saying that they weren’t targeting the reporters, but the building. Translation: We are gonna hit [...]
Each day, the media bombards us with continuous coverage of the stories THEY want us to hear. We live in a culture of distraction, such that the most important discussions are often overlooked in favor of obsessive coverage of frivolous topics in the media. Recent examples of this include obsession with General Petreaus’ extramarital affair, [...]
Okay, we know that our readers are among the most intelligent people around, so we’re asking for your help. Thanks to Heit’s excellent filming skills, we were able to capture video of some railroad equipment making its way down the track kicking up lots of dust. We weren’t close enough to see exactly what it [...]
A video recently went viral, in which a woman can be seen driving on the sidewalk to bypass a stopped school bus. As a condition of her sentencing, she was forced to stand on a street corner, holding a sign that read “only an idiot would drive on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus.” [...]

Today is Veterans Day in the United States–a day to honor American veterans of all wars. In November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day, later known as Veterans Day. Considering that the country is still actively engaged in a war in Afghanistan and other undeclared wars elsewhere in [...]
What do you think about this situation? Should the mother be vilified as a bad mother for leaving the children alone to charge her cell phone? Recently, a 22-year-old mother of two was arrested after police were notified that she left her sleeping children (ages two and six) alone at home, with no electricity and [...]

It’s sad that it was only last month when the media was claiming that the national jobless rate had “plummeted,” while the Black unemployment rate hadn’t dropped. Today, October’s job report was released, and while the national rate (7.9 percent) and all other groups remained about the same, Black unemployment actually increased by about one [...]
One of the most tragic stories of loss of life during Hurricane Sandy involves the death of Brandon and Connor Moore, ages two and four. Their mother, Glenda Moore, was caught in the storm and sought shelter after her SUV was hit by flood waters. She begged a man to let her and the children [...]
Michael ‘doing a heck of a job Brownie’ Brown, who was Bush’s FEMA director during the mostly man-made disaster we refer to as Hurricane Katrina, had the nerve to question the speed with which Obama took action on Hurricane Sandy–basically saying it was too fast! First of all, are media outlets that desperate that they [...]
When three 7-Eleven clerks suspected a man of stealing, they decided to take matters into their own hands to detain him. In the process, they strip the man nearly naked. One man can even be seen biting the suspected thief on the back. What’s more disturbing is that onlookers were heard laughing, and acting as [...]
There’s a controversy in full swing at Kountze High School in Texas. Folks have mixed feelings about the school’s cheerleaders displaying pre-game banners with Bible verses on them. On October 18th, Hardin County State District Judge Steve Thomas ruled that the cheerleaders can continue displaying the banners until a hearing slated for June, saying the [...]
We recently came across a video of Joe Jackson (Michael Jackson’s father) flashing a gun in holster under his jacket to a crowd of people in Las Vegas. With the election just a few weeks away, one of the hot topics that’s always debated is gun laws. In Joe Jackson’s case, he says he carries [...]
New York’s “Stop & Frisk” policy is such an egregious violation of human rights that we wonder how the policy could have ever been deemed acceptable, let alone legal in the first place. Furthermore, what’s the best way to put an end to stop & frisk? There have already been marches, rallies, protests, and an [...]
A few months ago we came across a video that detailed an experiment in which monkeys and other animals were shown to completely reject unequal pay. Check out the video below. On the surface it’s kind of funny to watch the monkey throw the food (pay) back into the face of the scientist (employer). When [...]
Imagine deciding to spice up your sex life with your significant other by sending an intimate message to her/him, only to later realize the message was sent to all of your contacts. In addition to the obvious embarrassment, now imagine that the “authorities” put you in jail for “causing or inciting a child to engage [...]
Suppose a rapist fathered a child during the rape, and was ordered to pay child support in addition to the terms of his conviction. A case like this is happening right now, but with a bit of a twist. A then 20-year-old man who raped a 14-year-old girl–he claims it was consensual intercourse–is now seeking [...]
With the general election for president of the United States just weeks away, we want to know whether or not you’ll be voting. There are plenty of people who don’t vote out of sheer apathy, but there is another group of nonvoters who often goes unacknowledged–those who choose not to vote out of protest. Nevertheless, [...]
Did you know that 19 states, including Texas, allow corporal punishment in schools? In a recent case in Texas, a female high school student opted to be spanked (with her mother’s permission) instead of receiving a two-day in-house suspension from school: WFAA-TV in Dallas reports that about a week ago teachers busted 15-year-old Taylor Santos [...]
The media continues to cover the baby panda death ad nauseam. Here’s a thought… If they want baby pandas to live, maybe the best place for them to do so is in their natural habitat–not in captivity in a zoo. If they want baby pandas to live, maybe it makes sense to stop encroaching on [...]
At a time when Black unemployment is nearly double that of the national jobless rate, we constantly hear people–especially Black people–use the excuse that Barack Obama is “the president of all Americans” as justification for his failure to specifically address the concerns and issues of Black. Well here’s our answer… How NOT to reason => [...]
It’s interesting that the story making media rounds is Mitt Romney being booed at the NAACP, when Obama decided not to show at all. Instead, he sent VP Biden to speak to the NAACP. Obama says that scheduling conflicts prevented him from attending. Do you think Obama should have made time to speak to the [...]
