The need for Regime Change in the African America Community I am sitting here in my office in Baltimore Maryland, watching coverage of the war in Iraq and in watching the coverage I think to myself how much the people of Iraq and the African America Community have in common when it comes to the need for Regime Change. The people in Iraq who have disagreed with government of Saddam Hussein have often been jailed, beaten, or killed by the mindless agents of Saddam Hussein and those of us who have disagreed with the self-appointed and white liberal promoted “Black...

Filed at 1:28 p.m. ET In his famous, fervent speeches of the 1960s, Malcolm X described the difference between house slaves, who lived in comfortable conditions in the master's house and loved the master, and slaves laboring in the field, who hated the master. The house slaves, he implied, were mainstream civil rights groups and leaders, who he thought were too closely aligned with whites. Now it's a term being used by activist and entertainer Harry Belafonte to describe Secretary of State Colin Powell. And Belafonte, who opposes a war on Iraq, isn't apologizing. Belafonte told The Associated Press he...

WASHINGTON (Talon News) -- Members of a black leadership group are asking Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-CT) to resign from his position in the United States Senate because of recent comments he made regarding Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV). Talon News was one of the few national media outlets that reported on this story last week about Dodd's remarks about Byrd made on the floor of the Senate on April 1 (read previous story). "I do not think it is an exaggeration at all to say to my friend from West Virginia that he would have been a great senator at any...

WASHINGTON, April 9 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Members of the African- American leadership network Project 21 are asking U.S. Senator Christopher J. Dodd to resign his seat in the wake of inappropriate comments he made commemorating fellow senator Robert C. Byrd's 17,000th Senate vote. Senator Dodd said: "I do not think it is an exaggeration at all to say to my friend from West Virginia that he would have been a great senator at any moment. Some were right for a time. Robert C. Byrd, in my view, would have been right for any time." "How could Senator Dodd have made...

The leader of America's largest civil rights organization on Monday attacked African American groups that he said were helping white conservatives promote a right-wing agenda. Kweisi Mfume, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, condemned the groups as a "collection of black hustlers" who have adopted a conservative agenda in return for "a few bucks a head." "When the ultraconservative right-wing attacker has run out of attack strategy, he goes and gets someone that looks like you and me to continue the attack," Mfume said in his opening address to the NAACP's annual convention. "They've financed...

Martin joined other black activists in a human rights...

Fox News Channel released the transcript of my appearance Tuesday night on Hannity & Colmes. No pictures though...KING: The Democratic Party is not doing that, Alan. The Democratic Party is basically taking the black vote for granted. They're sitting back and saying, "Look, blacks hate George Bush, and they hate him so much that they'll vote for anybody, even the local dog catcher." And John Kerry is the dogcatcher at the moment.Now if I could get a video copy of the appearance (the picture of me here is from my April appearance on H&C), I'd be happy. I couldn't see...

Live on Fox: Well, at least I held my ownLast night, I appeared on Fox News Channel's Hannity & Colmes in a "debate" (and I use the term loosely, it was more like an ambush than anything else) with New York City Councilman Charles "I Wanna Slap The Nearest White Person For My Mental Health" Barron.Project 21 put out a press release Monday, which strongly criticized a Jesse Jackson's earlier this month in Boston. In the speech, Jackson accused the US Military of "murder," called for the impeachment of the President, and called for both UN sanctions and military action...

Check me out on Fox News Channel tonightWell, it's official now, I guess. At least I hope so; I'm still waiting for the call-back from the producer to lock down what part of the hour I'm supposed to be in.I'm going to be appearing on FNC's Hannity & Colmes tonight at 9P ET.

(CNSNews.com) - Members of a black activist group are criticizing Rev. Jesse Jackson for equating the military operation in Iraq with "murder" and for claiming that the U.S. military is committing "a crime against humanity." Jackson's statements were first brought to national attention by the National Legal and Policy Center, a conservative watchdog group that is urging Coco-Cola to stop making six-figure contributions to Jackson's organizations. "This is another partisan shot by Jackson to gain media spotlight by capitalizing on the unfortunately (sic) deaths in Iraq. Throughout history, there has not been a more concerted effort to stave off civilian...

Elitist environmental activists observing "Earth Day" on April 22 are promoting a regulatory agenda hostile to minority ambitions for economic and social advancement. Members of the African-American leadership network Project 21 alternatively promote an environmental justice agenda that ensures human welfare is not sacrificed to meet regulatory goals. "Most people in our country favor things such as clean air that are raised on Earth Day. However, I believe that Earth Day has changed into an opportunity for socialists and others with interests in slowing down our economy to suppress the resource development, exploration and production that our country needs to...

Reprints permitted provided source is credited. I recently talked with some old classmates about the crises facing Africa. Contrary to popular belief, the crisis isn't insurmountable once the real problems are identified. Africa's problems are legion. But the perception of Africa's problems is, in and of itself, problematic from the start. Once the root problems are identified, the African continent should begin...
