The Haudenosaunee right of return

Comments Off

by: Steven Newcomb For some 30 years, the Haudenosaunee (People of the Longhouse), often known as the Six Nations Confederation, have been accustomed to traveling internationally from and back to North America on Haudenosaunee passports.

Obama’s black paradox and our own

Comments Off

He’s damned fortunate if we don’t and damned fortunate if we do allow that he is black. We received some crazy responses by email, by phone, and as online comments to our blog post,  “Could Obama dare to say that some people attack him because he’s black?” on Race Talk a week ago.  Racial politics [...]

Late last year, few could have predicted that Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown would return Massachusetts to the red column after decades awash in blue.

Obama is black but he’d better not say so

Comments Off

Obama’s counterterrorism advisor, John Brennan, gave a speech shortly after the release of the National Security Strategy. Brennan’s speech — which went largely unnoticed — makes it quite clear that the Obama Administration has redoubled its efforts to “secure our homeland” by recognizing “the threat to the United States posed by individuals radicalized here at home.” Remarkably, Brennan’s speech lists only seven terror attacks or attempted attacks carried out by “radicalized” Americans. Each of the seven homegrown attacks on Brennan’s list was carried out by a Muslim.

Israel, ideology of trauma

Comments Off

Originally published on the Unapologetic Mexican MANY AMERICANS OF JEWISH DESCENT find themselves torn in two by the tyrannical and cruel actions Israel levels upon the Palestinians. Perversely, for these people, it is not so much rampant Anti-Semitism that causes us shame at our roots, but the actions of the Israel state. I am one. [...]
