She liked to mimic her grandmother, so a week ago, Nyiah Courtney got her hair braided. “We twins now,” the smiling 6-year-old told Andrea Courtney. It was one of the last times the two talked. Nyiah was fatally shot Friday night while walking to her nearby home with her mother, father and older sister in the Congress Heights neighborhood of Southeast Washington. Police said the shots came from a gray, four-door sedan passing the commercial corner of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X avenues, striking Nyiah, her mother and four others, among the latest victims in a city struggling...

...An estimated 2,500 members of the Not F*****g Around Coalition (NFAC) took to the streets of Louisville, Kentucky on Saturday, joining a protest march over police shooting dead Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old black nurse, in March. Wearing black combat fatigues and carrying automatic weapons, the group outnumbered a small clutch of Three Percenters, a far-right militia group that also made an appearance at the demonstration. ...However, the appearance of the two armed militias raised the spectre that future confrontations may not pass off as peacefully, given the backdrop of violent protests that have swept the US following the killing of...

One of the new council members in one of Georgia’s biggest cities picked Malcolm X over the Bible for her swearing-in. Mariah Parker was sworn in this week to represent District 2 on the Athens-Clarke County Commission and refused to take her oath of office on the Bible, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. “They asked if they would like the Bible and I said no. My mother asked if there was a copy of the Constitution around. No,” Ms. Parker told the AJC. “I wanted Malcolm’s book,” she said, referring to “The Autobiography of Malcolm X,” which, despite its title, was...

Donald Trump's refusal to debate in Iowa is being diagnosed as just part of some radical-new-political strategy based on proving Trump can do whatever he wants without losing supporters. However, Barack Obama already proved this is possible in 2008. Many Americans refused to believe their lying eyes when it came to Obama's alarming relationship with Jeremiah "God-Damn-America" Wright. In fact, Donald Trump's campaign spokeswoman, Katrina Pierson, is one of those Americans. Today, Ms. Pierson is not Jeremiah Wright reincarnated, but she should definitely be more of an issue than Trump's decision to skip the debate in Iowa. The Daily Caller...

Malcolm X, the famed Civil Rights leader and minister of the Nation of Islam, would have turned 90 years old this week. While America annually marks the significance of the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., it is only in Black communities nationally, and locally in Harlem, that we mark and celebrate the birth of King’s most formidable racial adversary. Undoubtedly this has something to do with the very forthright and unflinching manner in which Malcolm X talked about race in the 1960s. El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, as Malcolm X was otherwise known, did not have any hope that white...

A natural conciliator, stuck between a left that wants more anger and a right just waiting to criticize him for it. The unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, is distressing, in part, because it appears that systemic violence against blacks continues in as blatant a fashion as it did 50 years ago at the height of the civil rights movement and the dark zenith of apartheid. During those periods, just as now, anger becomes the overwhelming sentiment of political life: To take it seriously could arguably be prolonging public conflict; to deny anger legitimacy amounts to a denial of the facts of...

"Al-Qaeda unveils new magazine aimed at Western jihadis Advert for 'Resurgence' magazine uses words of Malcolm X in appeal to disaffected Muslims in US and Europe, as it turns focus away from Middle East" SNIPPET: "Al-Qaeda is starting an English language magazine as part of a fresh effort to recruit and inspire Western jihadis to launch attacks in their own countries, according to security analysts. A video posted on YouTube uses the words of Malcolm X to justify violent struggle, before announcing the name of the magazine, Resurgence." SNIPPET: "However, the new magazine appears to be the first English language...

Family members have confirmed his death and that he was in Mexico but have not confirmed the exact location or circumstances of how Malcolm Shabazz died.

It’s a windy day, here in America. Very windy. Quite appropriate, since what I’m about to show you is a photo from ‘The Windy City’ – yes, Chicago – many years ago. What’s more, it’s a photo published in a Chicago newspaper. Malcolm X’s newspaper – Mr. Muhammad Speaks. For those of you unfamiliar, Mr. Muhammad Speaks is Nation Of Islam’s newspaper. Before you take a peek at the photo, I’d like to tell you a bit about Malcolm’s relationship with Mr. Muhammad Speaks. Mr. Muhammad Speaks was Malcolm X’s creation. It was his ‘baby’ throughout his term as NOI...

Can it all be coincidence? By Don Fredrick web posted October 8, 2012 As I noted in the introduction to my book, The Obama Timeline, a jury at a murder trial will often find the accumulated circumstantial evidence so overwhelming that a guilty verdict is obvious—even though there may be no witness to the crime. "The jurors in the Scott Peterson trial believed the collection of evidence more than they believed Scott Peterson. Among other things, the jury thought that being arrested with $15,000 in cash, recently-dyed hair, a newly-grown goatee, four cell phones, camping equipment, a map to a...

"Smiling foxes (white liberals) are far more dangerous than wolves (conservatives). The liberal is more deceitful and has perfected the art of befriending the black man and posing as his friend, to use as a pawn in their political football game. Atleast with a wolf you know where you stand" ---- Malcolm X

Had Americans been able to stop obsessing over the color of Barack Obama's skin and instead paid more attention to his cultural identity, maybe he would not be in the White House today. The key to understanding him lies with his identification with his father, and his adoption of a cultural and political mindset rooted in postcolonial Africa. Like many educated intellectuals in postcolonial Africa, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was enraged at the transformation of his native land by its colonial conqueror. But instead of embracing the traditional values of his own tribal cultural past, he embraced an imported Western...

A documentary (1959) on Black Nationalism by Mike Wallace. This is the film that made Malcolm X famous. In recent years the media has become too politically correct and too intimidated by groups such as the Nation of Islam (NOI) to do honest news reporting about them. The Black Liberation Theology of Obama's sect in Chicago is an offshoot of the theology of the NOI and has similar racist concepts, holding the black race to be the "manifestation of God on earth" and equating white society to the Antichrist.

Did you hear that ripping sound? Two liberal icons known by their silly stage names — Mahatma Gandhi and Malcolm X — have just been torn down from their sanctified perches thanks to a pair of massively researched but finally damning new biographies. Both men, it turns out, were at pains to take on phony identities. Each hid his homosexuality, each was racist, each took pains to manufacture favorable coverage, each was driven by petty hatreds instead of shining ideals — each of these supposedly principled figures was an out-and-out phony. Perhaps the most delicious irony of this myth-busting is...

"America needs to understand Islam, because this is the one religion that erases from its society the race problem," Malcolm X wrote in 1964 during his pilgrimage to Mecca. Though Malcolm's anti-white rhetoric was moderated after his conversion from the Nation of Islam (NOI) to orthodox Sunni Islam, his disdain for the West, rooted in extremist black nationalism, remained integral to his Muslim identity. Malcolm's words now appear on countless Islamist websites dedicated to finding black, English-speaking converts. The assumption that all African-American Muslims broke their ties with the anti-Western, anti-white, and anti-Semitic worldview of the NOI is a naive...

This song opens and closes with famous quotes: "And in the few moments we have left, we want to talk right down to earth in a language that everybody here can easily understand." This is Malcolm X, from his "Message To The Grass-Roots" speech in 1963. The point of it was to unify African-Americans. The ending quotes start with John F. Kennedy's famous "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." This is from his inaugural address in 1961: Look into my eyes, what do you see? Cult of personality I...

This post is a compilation of the known connections. On Feb 15/08 Usama K. Dakdok, President of The Straight Way of Grace Ministry called Obama's Church I then asked her what I needed to do to join. She told me that I needed to attend two Sunday School classes in a row and then I would walk the aisle. I replied, "That sounds easy. One last question please. IF I AM MUSLIM AND I BELIEVE IN PROPHET MOHAMMED, PEACE BE UPON HIM AND I ALSO BELIEVE IN JESUS, PEACE BE UPON HIM, DO I HAVE TO GIVE UP MY ISLAMIC...

Views the U.S. as a nation rife with racism and oppression of blacks Seeks to establish an independent black nation in the southeastern United States Demands reparations payments for slavery The Malcolm X Grassroots Movement (MXGM) describes itself as an organization of “Afrikans in America,” rather than “African Americans,” because it does not view black people in the United States as true Americans but rather as the descendants of forcibly transplanted Africans -- descendants whose very presence in North America is nothing more than an unfortunate legacy of slavery. In much of its literature MXGM makes reference to “amerikkka,” whose...
