1.  Editorial: Building An Economic Infrastructure by Baruti M. Kamau
I do not see our problem as racial. It is economic, camouflaged in racial terms to divert our people from becoming producers. White America's racism is supported by their economic domination over our people. That only exist because our people, the African-American, refuse to pursue the path of self-reliance.

2.  Op-Ed: Let's Make A Deal by AbdulRahman Shukurullahi
This isn't to be mistaken for America's favorite game show and certainly not as optional. This deal involves the preservation of a people destined for ruin. Indeed, African Americans serve as the bullseye on this target. Let us examine our course of activity to determine the validity of the focal point suggested. Over the years principles advocated by Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King have not only suffered regression, but pulverized to sheer lunacy with regards to respect, unity and ingenuity.

3.  Commentary: The Ambiguous Politics of the Black Church: An Assessment Part 2 by Michelle Monique Ferguson
As he provides no concrete explanation or cause, Marable shares statistics that the percentage of Black ministers are in a steady decline. Moving to the forefront of community leaders are Black professionals such as lawyers, teachers, businessmen, judges, and physicians. The community is turning to these professionals for guidance on appropriate social behavior in society, as well as to serve as their representatives. Consequently, the influence of the Black clergy has dwindled.

4.  Culture and Islam in Hausaland: Part Three by Bashir Usman Sagagi
The arrival of the Fulani in Hausaland culminated into a new era. These people were a tribe from Senegal who moved eastwards along the River Niger and finally settled in Hausaland. Among them were also other types of Fulani whose main aim was to prpagate Islam. They settled at the palaces of the big Chiefs and began to preach Islam as it should be practiced. They found that the Hausa peoples mixed Islam with alot of paganism...

In 1912 near Savannah, Tennessee "white tenants objected to blacks operating successfully on land they owned. Ben Pettigrew, accompanied by his two young daughters, was driving a load of cotton from his farm to town. Several miles from his place, four white men appeared on the road, shot the black farmer to death as he sat in the seat of his wagon, and dragged his two daughters from the top of the load and hanged them from a nearby tree. While their bodies dangled from a limb, the mob drove the wagon loaded with cotton under them and set fire to it. The message sent to enterprising black farmers in the region could not have been clearer...The total effect of white terrorism and intimidation was to discourage blacks from accumulating enough to arouse white resentment, while forcing the more enterprising to abandon their homes and occupations and leave the county without any protection or any compensation for their property.

I'm Stephen.  I'm here because I saw this forum on topsite board, and I wanted to check it out.  I'm pretty impressed with the variety of topics.  It seems very inclusive, and I like that.  Most people wouldn't touch threads with multiple religions or political debate.  I hope I can have some good discussions here.

An Analysis of Afro-American State Building in West Africa written by Baruti M. Kamau
a.  Introduction
b.  Party Politics During The Commonwealth Period (1839-1847)
c.  The Rise of Edward J. Roye and Liberia's Down Trodden

Cynthia Crawford was born on September 13, 1954 to the honorable parents of Joe Louis Jones and Marlene Smith.  She returned to her Lord on Monday, June 12, 2000.

Cynthia met her husband Mr. Edward Crawford at a friend’s house 21 years ago.  A relationship was formed that eventually resulted in marriage on December 21, 1988. 

Cynthia was a kind woman with a warm heart.  She was the true embodiment of a perfect mother and wife.  She enjoyed the characteristics of an Angel.  In fact she was an Angel walking and living on this earth.  She gave birth to her first child at 14 years old.  Not succumbing to the pressures of society, as a young mother, she loved, raised, and guided all of her children.  Throughout her life she fought an uphill battle valiantly and emerged victoriously.  She was indeed what her oldest son described as “One who exceeds all chapters.”  Cynthia loved her immediate and extended family and had many friends.  All of whom would bear testimony to her loving personality.  She overlooked the faults of others.  Took on the burden of others.  But somehow found a way to wake up each morning with a smile.  She found a way to enjoy life as she saw fit.  Above all, Cynthia’s warmth, love, strength, honor, and dreams will not be forgotten by those who loved her dearly.  Cynthia was indeed an Angel amongst us, who died in a romantic way – in the arms of her dear mother.

Cynthia leaves many to mourn:  stepfather Willie F. Smith, stepmother Evelyn Jones, husband Edward Crawford, her brother Phillip Myron Jones, her sons Baruti Muhammadu D.S. Kamau, Donald Damon Jones, Priest Love, Mister Marlon Joseph Love, stepson Hassan Crawford, Daughter-in-Law Carla Love, Grandchildren Jibril Jones, Nyla Love, Ajhia Love, Lemuel, and Jalil, Sister-in-Law Renee Jones, Grandfather Willis C.

Stephen Hawking On Alien Life Forms

Stephen Hawking, British Astronomer and Scientist, says it is likely there is alien life forms somewhere in the Universe.  He warns that humanoids should not be so quick to make contact with these aliens.  He says they maybe more advanced than we are and may not be very friendly to us.  I read this last week from an AP article.  I wished I had the link to the original content because I think it is great for discussion.

“If aliens ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn't turn out very well for the Native Americans,” Hawking said.

Japan space probe returns with asteroid dust

Employee benefits could be set to rise in Japan due to a breakthrough in the space exploration industry.  The unmanned Haybusa probe has become the first vehicle ever to collect asteroid dust after it successfully landed on asteroid Itokawa 300 million kilometres from earth.  This is a huge triumph for Japan and the refocus on its space exploration industry could improve pay and reward as well as employee benefits for those working in related industries.  After the craft returned over the Australian desert in June, scientists have been working on samples it brought back to verify that they are extra terrestrial.

One-way ticket to Mars?

Humans could be walking on Mars within the next couple decades, for only a fraction of the cost the United States has already budgeted for space exploration.  How? The answer is simple, say a pair of Mars researchers: Give the explorers a one-way ticket.  The most costly and tricky part of any manned space mission is providing life-support for its human crew: food, oxygen, and protection from radiation and other hazards of space travel. On a human mission to Mars, most of the cost – some 80 percent of it – would involve returning the crew to Earth, say Dirk Schulze-Makuch and Paul Davies in the October-November issue of the Journal of Cosmology. Rather than quintuple the cost, those funds could go toward building a permanent settlement, the two scientists argue.

Go To The Front
"Surely the future of every nation is based on its youth. But not upon all of them -no- not upon every individual, but on the intellectual ones, the educated ones with good character, good manners, and zeal," so said Ibrahim Niasse, a modern reformer in Senegal.

Rape of a woman is devastating to her and her family. Being raped by a police officer is foul, detrimental to the trust between civilians and the state.

Louis Farrakhan's Mocking of Islam
It is our earnest desire to make it clear to our subscribers and the media (who empathize with the cause of Barutiwa championing the voice of young Black people) that this publication does not support Louis Farrakhan in any sense. There are three primary reasons why we are not charmed by his usual sensations.

Robert Charles (1865-1900) was born in Copiah county, Mississippi either during the Civil War or immediately afterwards. Although his parents were sharecroppers and former slaves, it is not known how Charles managed to acquire elementary reading and writing skills. However, it is known that he left Copiah county, Mississippi for the city of New Orleans in search of a better life.

Robert Charles was a Black American day laborer. Among his peers, he was known for promoting emigration to Liberia, West Africa. During that time, many progressive Black Americans viewed emigration to Africa as an intelligent solution to the hostile, and often repressive, racial environment they were forced to live with. After engaging in a day of back-breaking work, Charles found time to sell copies of the Voice of Missions, a newspaper owned by the African Methodist Episcopal Church and edited by Bishop Turner.

Charles was all too aware of the racial injustices inflicted upon his people. As a member of the first generation of Black Americans born into freedom, Charles was also willing to challenge the restrictions put upon his freedom by White Southerners. The spring 1899 torture and burning death of a Black man named Sam Hose by a mob of White people outside of Atlanta, Georgia really infuriated Charles. This was actually the only time when friends and associates ever heard Charles express disappointment with and (show) a candid mistrust of Whites racially and American justice generally.

On one hot summer day in New Orleans (July 24, 1900) Robert Charles and his friend Leonard Pierce were sitting on the back steps of Charles' girlfriend (Virginia Banks) employer's house awaiting her return. Neighbors called the police complaining that two unknown Negroes were loitering in the neighborhood. Three police officers arrived: An Officer Mora, Sergeant Aucoin and Officer Cantrelle. Less than three minutes after their arrival, and without a warrant, the officers attempted to arrest the two men. When Charles questioned Officer Mora's authority to exact an arrest without a warrant, Mora attacked Charles with a billet. Charles responded by resisting Officer Mora's assault and drawing his gun. A duel ensued between the two. Officer Mora got the worse of the duel and collapsed immediately. Charles escaped with a gun shot wound to his thigh. Leonard Pierce was arrested by Officer Cantrelle and taken into custody. Sergeant Aucoin called for reinforcement and the largest manhunt in Louisiana's history followed.
