People of African descent are bigtime victims of pollution and
environmental mismanagement. Be aware of what's being done
to our people locally and globally and do what you can to act and/or
speak out against this outrageous treatment.

Remember....
African-American children are three times as likely to die of asthma-related causes.

I scanned google for a few sites to get you started.

Good news

And of course, there is Lisa Jackson,
who in January became the first African-American head of the EPA.
Before joining the Obama administration,
Jackson was New Jersey’s commissioner for environmental protection,
where she proved that a tough administrator can use environmental
law to save African-American lives.
She pushed for tough new legislation against
the trucks and ships that ruined Newark’s air quality,
and she led over 1,000 compliance investigations in Camden and Paterson,
cities that had been ignored by previous commissioners.

Response to - AFRICAN AMERICAN BLOGSPHERE; GAINING STATURE IN THE WORLD OF NEWS.
on The World Of Ensayn Reality Blog

"How to drive more of the Black collective to the internet and the Black blogsphere?"

My feeling is with you, I never stop thinking about ways to reach the Black masses. One important way to get answers is to broaden the question. So we can add ----How to deliver the contents of the internet and the Black Blogosphere to the Black coillective?---- to the original question.

I think we shouldn't forget that while we have been many moons in America, we are still more of a verbal culture than a written one. Griots have always been an important factor in African communication, history and genealogy many generations of information was passed on unbroken by this means. Up until the point where many of us, in the diaspora, were hijacked and thus pulled completely out of the loop, this means of communication was working for us.

Even then, after several centuries our young folks are coming full circle with Rap.
A rapper may be compared to a griot telling stories of the things that folks in the village want to know about. It is another spoken word means of communication which has proved to be very effective. So much, that millions have been spent in America to divert and circumvent the original form, in an attempt to subvert the output and once again minstralize our image while at the same time raking in tons of money.

Rap reaches so many people around the world, that it truly is a force to be reconed with. People of all cultures find it appealing but especially those of the African Diaspora . Outside the US I have seen quite a few progressive presentations and productions being utilized by young people to express their impression of how they perceive and are determined to respond to their sociopolitical environment.

African Underground: Hip Hop in Senegal

We have to work together to inform our people that Black folks around the world are ready,
even sometimes a personal risk to speak out for the cause of liberty and justice.
While we may appear to be separated, we are not alone.

Closer to home People like DaveyD, Professor Jared BAll, Rosa Clemente, Sista Souljah and other Media Activists are working to bring us together. Black bloggers have to get on board and back these brothers and sisters up.

Media Activist Davey D on media consolidation ncmr 2005

http://www.voxunion.com/
VoxUnion.com is a fantastic site that IMO all Black bloggers would benefit plugging into.
My favorite feature on this site is the Freemix Radio concept, that suggests we all create mixtapes
of music, news, current events and such and listen then pass them on and if we have the resources create more add to it and pass that along too. I could see this model working for e-mail newsletters as well.

There are others also out there working and we all have to somehow communicate with one another in order to
consolidate and or coordinate at least some of our efforts in order to take advantage of the fact that right now we have potential access to millions of people. In the last ten years I have seen a number of excellent productions come and fall by the wayside because of lack of support and the people producing them just couldn't maintain their level of output while working alone.

Blogging, youtube, podcasting, skype and more resources are available, in various combinations for those of us who will challenge our imaginations. Never before and (when this window closes) possibly never again, will we have such a fantastic opportunity. We have to talk about it, we have to learn real fast how to combine efforts for maximum use of input.

And yes, I think we have to do everything we can to drag the collective, (even if kicking and screaming) right along with us.

I'll close with this message from
Davey D at the NCMR 2007

Anaheim Police Officer Exonerated of Murdering Julian Alexander

2009-03-27T12:07:00.001-04:00

I found this on story uprisingradio.org.
I'll add an excerpt and if you're interested in the on going story of
young Black men that are being gunned down by police without any consequence do go read the whole article or you may alternately listen to the podcast available on the site.Read more at..

In the early morning hours of October 28th 2008, a 20 year old named Julian Alexander was fatally shot by an Anaheim police officer. Alexander’s crime: he was standing in his own front yard, attempting to protect himself and his pregnant wife with a stick in hand. Oh, and he happened to be black. The white officer, Kevin Flanagan had been chasing a group of juveniles who allegedly broke into a department store when he encountered Alexander. The newly married Anaheim resident had come out of his house to investigate the ruckus. After shooting him twice in the chest, Flanagan handcuffed him to the ground. Julian Alexander, who had just gotten married 9 days earlier, died after being taken to UCI Medical Center - his family claims he was delayed medical treatment as a result of being handcuffed. Within hours of the shooting, the Anaheim Police department issued an apology for the shooting, calling it a “tragic situation,” and clearing the victim of any wrong doing. Now, the Orange County District Attorney’s office has decided not to press charges against the police officer. Kevin Flanagan has been back on routine patrol duty since mid-December. There are currently two federal civil-rights lawsuits, filed by separate family members set to begin next month.

Michelle Obama 'Trashed' by Radio Host

2009-03-25T15:15:00.001-04:00

I am not ready to come to the defense of the Obamas just because some big-mouthed, white, lesbian, twit, who works for Fox wants to be offensive. On the other hand I welcome the opportunity to evaluate whether or not her attack goes that next step and offends all of us. I also welcome any opportunity to slip it to Fox, which seems to me keeps a stable of these folks. I know she (Bruce) pissed me off and I'm not feelin' particularly protective of Barack and Michelle just yet. I know exactly what MO meant though, when she said our people thought she talked funny, like a white person. Obviously Bruce, like many other white (and some Black) folks, is totally unaware of the fact that we have our own language, which while we may use words that are found in the standard English dictionary we attribute different meanings and nuances to these words.
Those of us who are bilingual in Black - White English, will I'm sure, agree with me. Funny you'd think white folks would be hip to this fact by now, since a significant number of the new words in the dictionary come straight outta the hood.

I think I'm drifting. Anyway I do find Bruce's willingness to speak out so ignorantly on a subject which she obviously knows nothing about, to be offensive.
Also if she wants to call names she should remember that, it takes trash to know trash.

If you, like myself is not happy about this , for whatever reason
The Daily Kos had this to say.

Now, it is patently obvious superior individuals are running circles around the failed ideology of the Right - and they are predictably screaming like petulant children. Fine, I say - scream to your little hearts' content. I don't care if you seek therapy for your insecurities or buy a penis pump to improve your self-esteem. But don't you dare insult the First Lady of the United States of America like you did today. If you do, you can count on me and every progressive like me to wait in the tall grass for you. That means calls to have Bruce fired from Fox News - which are already in the works as I write this. That means journalistic hit pieces from every angle aimed directly at anyone who dares to launch insults of this classless nature at one who demands your respect. That means protests and boycotts of sponsors who allow smear scum like you to remain on the air.
These are not threats, Right-wingers. They are promises. Clean up your act and keep the dissent at least moderately civil - or our side will give you a media war from Hell you won't believe.

Black Women's History Month

2009-03-17T12:41:00.001-04:00

I haven't presented anything for Women's History Month but I came across a story of some contemporary young Black Women that should prove to be an inspiration to all of us, Whatever our sex or color.

I found this great presentation on youtube called;
So what if I an a Black Woman performed by Arbeny Davis

After watching this superb performance by this beautiful little girl,
I googled her name to see what else she may have done and I discovered some very interesting info.

First I found an article

I wonder what this little girl is doing now...
Tuesday, November 27, 2007

which included a comment by the little girl herself.

Hey Nesha thanks for showing me love on your website. In case you dont know my name is Arbeny Davis, and I am the little girl; well no longer a little girl.LOL!!! I attend the University of Memphis now, I am majoring in Dance, my goal is to own my own dance studio. Thats just a little info about what Im doing now. I love what you are doing and good luck with everything. Much Love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Further research showed that not only is Arbeny talented, intelligent and ambitious, she is also a very brave young woman.
The company she keeps is no less courageous.

Here's what lead me to that conclusion---

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WHBQ FOX13 -
Both girls are in as high of spirits as one can be a day after a major operation, but they were willing to let our cameras into their hospital rooms long enough to share a heartfelt story of giving.

Lying in her hospital bed, Arbeny Davis calls this "the best Christmas I've ever had."

It's a tearful thank you for a grateful 19 year old girl born with a diseased kidney.

Davis says "I don't know what I could do for her that she's done for me."

With tubes delivering oxygen to her pained body, Arbeny Davis is recovering on the 10th floor of Methodist Hospital.

She is fighting abdominal aches from the surgical incisions that saved her life.Both girls are in as high of spirits as one can be a day after a major operation, but they were willing to let our cameras into their hospital rooms long enough to share a heartfelt story of giving.

She is fighting abdominal aches from the surgical incisions that saved her life. None of it would have been possible without the courage of her best friend, Kenesha Reed.

Reed murmurs "It makes me feel really good that God used me to save her life."

For two girls who have never really been apart since meeting in grade school, the kidney transplant bonds them for life.

Arbeny says of Kenesha, "She means the world to me."

When no one in Arbeny's family was a match, her best friend got tested shortly after her 18th birthday. Kanesha says the decision was easy.

"Because I love her and the Bible says there is no greater love than a man who will lay down their life for a friend, and I love her, so I'll give it to her, I'll do it all over."

Young siblings recognize Kenesha's bravery in words expressed as poetry. But the selfless teen doesn't want any acknowledgement. She hopes the noble effort inspires more giving this holiday season.

"I hope people learn to step outside of themselves and be willing to give, be willing to share with other people, and stop being so selfish."

I'm proud to say that these young women are our future. Their lives, like those of many of their peers, are history in the making and we owe it to ourselves and them to ensure that they receive our continued acknowledgment and support by any means necessary, as
Malcolm X would say.

Bernard Monroe a 73-year-old black man killed by police in Homer, LA

2009-03-16T09:53:00.002-04:00

I read about this incident while scanning the news groups and
I thought why is it still open season on Black Men by police?
The powers that be don't seem to be overly concerned over the wave of police killings of unarmed or defenseless Black folks. They (the police) don't appear to generally suffer any severe consequences for their actions. It seems to me that the attitude is that it's all in the line of duty. While these shootings and killings ans tasings are getting some publicity, what about the beatings and wrongful detainments and verbal abuse that never gets reported. IMO this is where it all begins. For each time one of these abuses are carried out with impunity, the police will be emboldened to simply escalate to the next more violent step, to the point that they feel it's their right to gun down any Black person they feel like. Sadly this is where we find ourselves today.

If the authorities won't take action because it's the right thing to do, then we will have to come up with a way to bring about REAL CHANGES ourselves. For this we're going to have to start with internal changes. Apparently everyone is talking YES WE CAN but not many are getting in on the action. I don't doubt that there are folks out there who are actively taking on the role of bring justice to the Black Man, it's time we find them and help out with the program, the life of someone you love may depend on it.

"If I see three or four young black men walking down the street, I have to stop them and check their names," said Mills, who is white. "I want them to be afraid every time they see the police that they might get arrested."

Cleopatra's mother 'was African'

2009-03-16T07:42:00.001-04:00

Cleopatra, the last Egyptian Pharaoh and renowned for her beauty, was part African, says a BBC team which believes it has found her sister's tomb.

Queen Cleopatra was a descendant of Ptolemy, the Macedonian general who ruled Egypt after Alexander the Great.

But remains of the queen's sister Princess Arsinoe, found in Ephesus, Turkey, indicate that her mother had an "African" skeleton.

It seem's that some white folks have discovered that Cleopatra's "mother" was an African. Dr. Clarke or Dr. Ben or Runoko Rashidi could have easily have told them that and more.

Well let's see what they have to say about this latest info.

U.S. pulling out of racism conference WTF!

2009-03-10T15:25:00.002-04:00

When I first saw this I thought it wasn't true but alas I was sorely mistaken.

Cynthia McKinney was right on the case, the sister didn't miss a beat.
she said,

"When Eric Holder, the new U.S. Attorney General called the nation to account for its historic reluctance to honestly talk about race and racism, its manifestations and consequences, he could have been talking about his boss the president. By withdrawing from the UN Conference on Racism he is leading backwards, in the direction of Clinton and Bush rather than forward into the 21st century. The fact that the President of Change wan't bring himself -- or us --- to an honest discussion about race says a lot for his willingness to lead on the subject."

She also said,

"But Obama's willingness to cave in the face of white racism and business as usual is no excuse for the Congressional Black Caucus, supposedly among the best and brightest Black America has to offer. It's time for the CBC to step up where the president has stepped back."

Where do we the people stand on this issue? It's time we stand up and be counted and speak up for the changes that we can believe in, these politicians will never get it unless we put our 85 cents in.

As Black History Month draws to a close
let's remember Paul Laurence Dunbar.

Talk about inspired, Dunbar's work is
enough to keep us engaged for a long time.

from Ione-Part I Paul Laurence Dunbar.

I loved! Why not? My heart was youthful,
My mind was filled with healthy thought.
He doubts not whose own self is truthful,
Doubt by dishonesty is taught;
So loved I boldly, fearing naught.
I did not walk this lowly earth,
Mine was a newer, higher sphere
Where youth was long and life was dear,
And all save love was little worth.

Eddie G. Griffin (BASG): Judges Sent Juveniles to Prison Receive $2.6 million in Head Count Kickbacks

Eddie G. Griffin (BASG): Judges Sent Juveniles to Prison Receive $2.6 million in Head Count Kickbacks

I have always thought that private prisons create a serious conflict of interest.
This case simply reenforces my belief that prison, as a business, has to have as a goal, filling as many places as possible. IMO this case will prove to be just the tip of the iceberg.

Please read and pass this story on and keep the discussion alive, asI am sure the railroading of our young people into the prison system has not ceased to occur. We have to get peoples attention and engage them in hammering out a solution to this situation.

While you're at it Eddie Griffin has more info about

"the prison industrial complex on his blog. Eddie G. Griffin (BASG)

I personally believe that this topic is related to and should be considered along with the topic of pretrial detention.

We must get into steering monetary resources away from penalizing our youth and start using these resources for the training and education of our young people. This is one way we can begin to break the cycle of crime and punishment in poor and marginal communities.

I'd like to discuss prison labor as being related to the two previous subjects because it stands to reason that if these young people are not receiving training to work outside, they will be fit only to fill some very low paying albeit profitable (for someone), prison labor positions.

The National Public Service Council To Abolish Private Prisons Blog has more articles related to the above topics. Maybe we can convert these prisons to educational facilities.

The 16th Street Baptist Church bombing

2009-02-17T12:52:00.002-05:00

The 16th Street Baptist Church bombing was a racially motivated terrorist attack on September 15, 1963, by members of a Ku Klux Klan group in Birmingham, Alabama in the United States. The bombing of the African-American church resulted in the deaths of four girls. Although city leaders had reached a settlement in May with demonstrators and started to integrate public places, not everyone agreed with ending segregation. Other acts of violence followed the settlement. The bombing increased support for people working for civil rights. It marked a turning point in the U.S. civil-rights movement of the mid-twentieth century and contributed to support for passage of civil rights legislation in 1964.
