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 [...]

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.

Back on March 21st, we told people it was foolish to buy all those bags of Skittles, but few heeded the warning.

In the following video, Heit uses examples from the Trayvon Martin and Oscar Grant Cases to explore how the notion of justice is really just the thinly veiled workings of politics. “Justice” system activities have their roots in politics, therefore politics is the only thing that can result from activities within such a system. This [...]

How would you respond if your former slave master asked you to come on “back home” to the plantation, promising better treatment than anyone else could give you and your family?

How many times must we endure listening to clueless people blame the poor for being victims of the economic policies of the rich? They present it as if the playing field is level, and all poor people need to do is work harder and they can achieve the success that the wealthy enjoy. One of [...]

Check out [...]
