Worldly Game

In order to participate in the erasure of history, it’s not always necessary to rewrite history, since exclusion works just as well. As we see in the Oprah Winfrey produced film “Selma”, Martin Luther King Jr. and church leaders are depicted as being at the forefront of the movement, while those who spurred church leaders to action are rendered inconsequential. Of all the movement led actions between 1955 to 1960, church based groups were responsible for only 12%, while student groups comprised 31%. By 1965, church based groups were only responsible for 6% of movement led actions, observed Dog McAdam in “Political Process and the Development of the Black Insurgency.” You wouldn’t know that activists were the engine that ran this movement by watching 21st century renditions about the civil rights movement. Also omitted from the movement’s history is the part played by armed activists. The documentary on Robert F. Williams (see below) details the role “Negroes with Guns” played i

When Oregon was granted statehood in 1859, it was the only state in the Union admitted with a constitution that forbade black people from living, working, or owning property there. It was illegal for black people even to move to the state until 1926. Oregon's founding is part of the forgotten history of racism in the American west. Waddles Coffee Shop in Portland, Oregon was a popular restaurant in the 1950s for both locals and travelers alike. The drive-in catered to America's postwar obsession with car culture, allowing people to get coffee and a slice of pie without even leaving their vehicle. But if you happened to be black, the owners of Waddles implored you to keep on driving. The restaurant had a sign outside with a very clear message: "White Trade Only — Please." It's the kind of scene from the 1950s that's so hard for many Americans to imagine happening outside of the Jim Crow South. How could a progressive, northern city like Portland have a

Outlined are strategies for climbing the ranks:  The world gets more and more competitive each day, and people are resorting to lower lows every single day to get by and to get over. With the state of the world being what it is, the odds aren’t in your favor, but there are ways to tip the scale to increase your chances of reaching the top of the organization you choose to work within. These tips are for life in general, but I’m tailoring them to show you how it works for climbing the ranks in your career. Life is a competition, and we live in a global market, you’re competing with more people now than ever before. Many people are going to lose their minds because the competition is so stiff and they can’t take the pressure. It’s more important now than it has ever been to keep your wits about yourself, stay sharp, stay alert, and stay in a hustler’s mindset. It’s easy to resort to bullshit and bitterness when times get hard, and in your climb, you will encounter many who will resor

(Pay attention to the below post. I once read the book “ Sundown Towns ”. This book is very deep but very hard to read. This post talks about the experience of being Black while within one.) Sundown Towns were locations throughout the United States where the unwritten (and sometimes written) rule was, Black people must be out of the area after 6 o’clock, or “sundown”. Most of these Sundown Towns were prevalent during the Jim Crow era. And many places in America still have sundown rules for Black Americans today. This week, a group of about 90 adults and teens from Flint Michigan were wrapping up a college tour. On their way back to Flint, their bus had mechanical issues. They ended up spending the night at the Econo Lodge in Live Oak, Florida. Coordinator Blake Odum says right after dinner is when the trip took a much different and disturbing tone. “It was owned by white people. And they started taking pictures of all the kids as we were walking in and out of the hotel,” sa

It has been repeatedly proven that April is a busy month for the white supremacists. There appears to be more evidence to back this fact. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), March 27th of this year marked the 20th anniversary of the white extremist website, stormfront.org .  The website serves as a rallying point for white extremists and closeted white supremacists that opt to correspond and network anonymously against the best interests of Melanoid people. Since April is already a month for elevated activity from white extremists, it is feasible to presume that this milestone year for the website would give these extremist groups the green light to “celebrate” in their own twisted way. Since the website has been in existence for 20 years, this means that white supremacists/extremists have essentially had a place to come together and build since the early years of the general public’s access to the Internet. The website also features a radio show, where white s
