Piggybacking off the Urban Intellectuals report, The First Terrorist Act Using Airplanes in America..., written by FURIOUS, I became curious. In this enlightened age of knowingness about how presidential administrations are supposed to work as opposed to how they do...

First Terrorist Act Using Airplanes in America Was Not 9/11, Educate Yourself!
Our hearts go out to all the people who died on 9/11 and the families that suffer from that event, which is one of the reasons I waited a day to make this post, but it is time to clear the air, tell the truth and educate all people. No matter if you like it or not,...

Let 'em eat cake! It was rumored that Marie Antoinette, wife of King Louis XIV of France said these words; but historians have stated that the attribution is incorrect. It was Maria Theresa who actually said it. Anyway, no matter who said it, the infamous statement...

For decades the government of Botswana has been trying to relocate the San people off their ancestral homeland. For those unware the San people are one of the 14 known living ancestral populations for modern humans. They are about 90,000 strong and their homeland...
Ratchet Stuff On Facebook
In honor of "Boycott Facebook Day" on September 11 and 12, 2014, I'm going to do something historically erroneous and say this: NOW THAT I'VE GOT YOUR ATTENTION... I could not title this article/post "The Black American Economics of Finance" or "Black Voting Rights...
1 Month After Michael Brown Killing, Why Is Darren Wilson Still Free?
