Slavery didn’t start in 1492 when Columbus came to the New World. And it didn’t start in 1619 when the first slaves landed in Jamestown. It’s not a white phenomenon. The real story of slavery is long and complex. Candace Owens explains.

A major Black Lives Matter group has thrown its support behind "the resistance in Palestine" following the deadly terrorist attack on Israel by Hamas over the weekend. Rather than express sympathy for the more than 1,000 Israelis murdered by Hamas terrorists, Black Lives Matter Grassroots put out a statement declaring its support for Palestinians, saying, "[W]e must stand unwaveringly on the side of the oppressed." The post proclaimed that because the Palestinians "have been subject to decades of apartheid and unimaginable violence, their resistance must not be condemned, but understood as a desperate act of self-defense." The group, which was...

Black Lives Matter Grassroots, a collection of racial-justice activists, released a statement “in solidarity with the Palestinian people” on Tuesday, days after Hamas terrorists slaughtered at least 900 Israeli civilians. “When a people have been subject to decades of apartheid and unimaginable violence, their resistance must not be condemned, but understood as a desperate act of self-defense,” the group said. The organization said it “stands in solidarity with our Palestinian family who are currently resisting 57 years of settler colonialism and apartheid.” “As Black people continue the fight to end militarism and mass incarceration in our own communities, let us...

Presidential candidate Cornel West is brushing off concerns that his independent run will hurt Joe Biden among key constituencies, describing his campaing against 'civic collapse' and American 'empire' as an effort to persuade Trump voters to join his crusade. 'I’m trying to convince people thinking about voting for Trump into voting for me,' West said Thursday. 'But I don't go in thinking about whether I'm helping or hurting someone else,' said West, a prominent public intellectual and left wing activist who is running as an independent after abandoning an effort to capture the Green Party nomination. 'To me, brother Donald...

The casting of award-winning actor Denzel Washington as the legendary ancient general Hannibal Barca in an upcoming Netflix project has reportedly outraged Tunisians who argue it is racial recasting that erases their history. Netflix touted the film in a press release, about "the Carthaginian general who famously led an army of warriors and elephants across the Alps to fight the Roman Republic during the Second Punic War." Hannibal’s home region of Carthage is now within Tunisia, the northernmost state in Africa and considered to be part of the Arabic world.

The report claims that the character was set to be dressed in the colours of the Palestinian flag (for some reason) while handing out gifts to children....
