racists they hate black people and you've noticed there have been atrocities by the rebels against black africans and against black libyans if you were from mali or from chad and you were in benghazi or brooke you had a very good chance of being slaughtered literally lynched in many cases of the good laffey tribes the pro get a few tribes being duffer the mugger here are a lot in the face zine the fares are not black or very dark they might be massacred if. that rebel army gets into western libya we're going to have a genocide of black people presided over by obama and susan rice so it's supposedly an intervention to protect civilians and it's preparing a genocide similar to the bay of pigs right remember that the cia sent the secret army into cuba in one thousand sixty one and they failed just as these libyans have failed allen dulles went to kennedy and said give me a straight give me ground forces kennedy said no i want and you're fired obama in the same situation has said send in the force and as investigative journalist web search tarpley. for the midst of war the u.s. is also no doubt in th

it is reason in free verse and about black smith, west african black smith. they were thought to be magicians. 1725, oh molly in the west africa. the drums -- be ware of sea birds, be ware of men that steal up the river through the great forest. and into the savannah lands. the moans and groans, hundreds, thousands stolen, we rarely speak the taken, i will this time because you have asked. come back, back, back, far edge of memory. we recall them and they are black smith, by all accounts a master craftsman, worthy of praise, honored as a powerful magician. one who could speak the old names of the mother elements, earth, fire, water, wind. they would do as bidding, think. people sing praise songs. he was a gifted black smith. he is not remembered for that. he is best remembered for being a loving father. when his beloved wife died only after a year and embraced his newborn son, i will raise you myself. the elder women with argued against it saying you'll grow up wild without a gentle hand of a mother, a gentle hand to guide him. must divide by custom, take ano

black male. a lot of african-american women that i speak to talk about losing black men, the loss of black male patriarchy, and although i'm of course concerned about our sons and about their future, i also think that in doing that, we miss the victimization and the marginalization of black women. we talk about crime and incarceration as though it's just a black man's problem when black women are the fastest-growing population of newly incarcerated people. we don't talk about hiv/aids, and its impact in particularly young, african-american women's lives. the leading cause of death for african-american women under the age of 35-- hiv/aids infections. so these sorts of blindnesses to the very experiences that women are themselves having at the mont that they're having it-- because they're so engaged in politics on behalf of everyone else-- i think is the problem. we have to be sure we are on our own agenda. >> hinojosa: you have a really fascinating life story, and when you read it, you're almost like, "how did that happen?" so your dad's family can trace their roots back to slavery. >> yes. >> hinojosa: yo

distribution of income but if you compare libya we don't either sub-saharan countries this is where black africans guly cross the desert to go to libya because their employment opportunities or abuse me cathy is fighting some saying that you never saw coming here is committing human rights abuses he is killing civilians we all know that but this does not feel the west will dare enshrine and need to intervene or no fly zone because as robert gates from the pentagon himself said this is the committing war against lead on average and that's a matter of happened we've said ali by dozens and countless conflicts and the african continent took place and i don't think a lot of other center fiasco was different this time as an ally or europe's a little iraq you'll see it like gaz example and of course the iraqi example don't forget benegal chilled hundreds of thousands of civilians that are reckless in the iraqi and iraq war not to mention all the as the wedding parties and after. reasons so yes it is the oil but again as i went on when you look at the wealth of choice than iraq we obviously didn't really

. >> reporter: a diplomat's description of colonel qaddafi using black africans as mercenaries. et a mulatto here who said he'd personay seen four ghanaians who'd been shot dead. >> so if they see you are a black man, you are in big problem. people in libya are just hiding themselves, i mean black people. they are hiding themselves. some of them are in the desert, far away. some of them are in the bush, i mean they are in farms and gardens. and some of them are in their room. you cannot go outside. no food. no water. they are just sleeping. >> reporter: further into tunisia, evidence everywhere you look of the problem here. tented camps can take ten 10,000 or so, but there are quite simply far more people than there are tents. so transport is the solution, the only way out of this. mercifully, one of the biggest airports in tunisia is close to the border, near ajdabiya. three british charter jets began landing here today. france is also sending military planes too, and a ship. together, they'll bring out at least 10,000 evacuees. not far away, at the port of zarzis, things look q

> we begin to talk about the role of the black church or role of black churches in the life of communities, we need to understand africanmerican communities are dynamic. they are complex. that complexity reflects in very interesting ways the material conditions under which black folks -- >> jay-z is not representative of an institution. barack obama is catching hell today -- >> not an institution. >> not a viable. it's not an institution capable of producing anything. not producing anything. >> someone argues in the same way that 2004 allowed black churches allowed to deliver votes for president bush, the hip-hop delivered votes to president obama in 2008. >> do black preachers still have the sway they had 50 years ago, 60 years ago. >> some do. part of it has to do with this very complex feel in which black churches exist in. it's not like the only game in town, like used to be back home in mississippi in the '30s and '40s. >> i clearly concede that point. although i would argue that it never was the only game in town. the voice was prominent. i'm sure moms mably was more prominent than some preachers. >> it was domina

as i really gotlib ration theology in my bones as i worked in saweto and fellowshipped with black south africans and saw not only the struggle but saw it from a whole new perspective i went there to work against apartheid but saw it from a new perspective and that training ground, ron, prepared me also for the aids years the height of the aids years in the castro before meds were vailable that really you know, made now what is a chronic illness. >> yes. incredible work there. and then from there you made the decision. let's go back for a moment to you teach preaching. >> i do. >> and for a woman, that is great because i know a lot of the women are preachers throughout the country teaching and run into some wonderful preachers that has been a great experience how did that open up for you? >> i was teaching preaching to some folks in the metropolitan community churches we do incoming clergy training i got invited to teach at psr i preached there a number of times and i tried it and absolutely loved it it has become a real passion of mine i think it is something i will end up doing in various forms

if he dies, he will flood europe with black african. look it up.other thing, he will be settling scores. this is one more thing that they should remove this lune tick. he would be settling scores with the main country, u.s., some of the european countries, and israel. what the libyan opposition, by the way, they are very modern for the most part, very moderate, and educated, and in canada and also in europe. so they at least maybe recognize them. maybe supply them with humanitarian aid. but this is the same guy who for 42 years has sponsored the killing of the pan am 101, the munich, the german clubs, on and on. he killed probably thousands and thousands of other countries' citizens. he will be settling the score with his money. . . we do not know what happens next. and that an argument for not taking that step? not necessarily. we ought to have a better handle on what will be the upshot before we take that step? to the extent that we can help others, notably europeans who have any been higher stake in this than we do, i think it, because of the ex

these one of the things we strive for every day is to say, look, we don't just cover black news, because as africanmericans we don't just need or look for black news, we look for news that affects all of us. but i think we have a different point of view based off of our backgrounds and our experiences being discriminated. all sorts of things that shape that point of view. i think that's often what people are looking for. so i think we confuse black news with black perspective. that's what we offer, i think. >> everybody has a perspective, and as a trained journalist, do you worry about that everyone can tweet and use facebook it that's hard to separate the real writers from the people just doing it on their living room couch? >> i'm going to paraphrase aaron, he says everyone should have a voice but not everyone should have a microphone. and i completely agree with him. i find it difficult as a journalist, someone who did study, and it is a craft, that there are a number of people out there wearing the journalism badge and they don't know what they're doing. it's not as simple as a typo. that's not

after that, we are going to have a black debate and talk about a lot of things that impact the african-americanty. it seems as if this whole city is in a chance for a coma. in particular, my black leaders. with all of this information even from the u.s., today's news, saying how blacks are leaving these towns, but it all started in sentences go back in 1948. with jesse herman in a smoke- filled room came up with the urban renewal. that is how they do it all over the united states. it is very significant. anyone that thinks it is not significant -- they are insignificant. right now, i cannot understand. ♪ blacks are leaving town nobody around here seems like they care. but that is okay. ace is on the case -- [bell rings] supervisor chiu: thank you. next singer please. >> thank you. this might take a couple of weeks. i have a lot of graphics. ♪ what a city might bridges all were crossed with a winning way to go yes my mom lovely city meter maid bags for all you ever did and i sure miss you every day yester-me supervisor chu remember the 49er ties of your city life of your life of your life mornin

fifty's and sixty's and before we saw poultice we saw all kinds of other ways to limit the black vote the african-american vote the minority vote and now we're seeing again republicans made huge gains in state houses across the country even bigger gains they made here in washington so now. are using those big majorities that they won in november so implement this piece of their agenda to depress the vote to make sure that they get to stay in control and in power for as long as they as they can i guess you could say that alex thank you so much for joining us. now before we go tonight it's time for our tweet of the day after charlie sheen was fired from his hit c.b.s. show today after a week of rants and really odd interviews he even called himself a vatican assassin warlock during a radio interview i'm not entirely sure what that means but tonight we think that maybe the warlock community should tweet dude shut up you're making us a little cracked and that's harsh coming from a warlock that's it for tonight's show thanks for tuning in to make sure you come back tomorrow writer john ellis will be o

they meet a black bear, that is a husky african-american guy and the guy basically propositions them. proposes a three way. they decided he seems like a great guy. they tell him about their b and b. the innamong the flowers. it doesn't mean anything because it was camouflage night at the full moon saloon. we felt compelled to tidy up. and reaging toilet. you force him to shower. we stashed it in the closet. he grabbed a razor and headed for the stall. you better be faithful about it. it's down right inhospitable. he was dressed in a while, v-neck tee shirt. nothing. just wondering about the dress code. where your dress pants. you look hot in those. did you see my ring? i swear you would lose your head if it wasn't attached. this was my mother. i wondered if her death would release me or if i was doomed to norman bates territory. he will be here in five minutes. half an hour later, after i squeezed. we were awkward as wall flowers. the lamp was already blazing with intensity. my growing hard on >> he seemed amenable. he got cold feet? may be he lost interest. ben shrugged. who knows. i

man, woman, white, black, african-american, asian, old, young. [laughter] student-teacher.our whole minds work to categorize a blurred reality into categories. and then humanities repeatedly gets in trouble when the categories become more important than the underlying humanity. all this genome research shows we are not 9.5% the same. and the balkans for a searing experience for me because here were people who are biologically indistinguishable who were of different religious faiths and cultural traditions because of an accident of history where the ottoman empire stopped, where the holy roman empire stopped, where the slavic empire stopped and all of a sudden that was all that matter. mattered. it mattered so much that people could kill each other and have no regard for whether their children lived or died. and so, i think that is at the root of all the problems everywhere else that lead to violence. many years ago i read a book and it was a few years ago by robert wright who is most famous for having written the moral animal which is about our impulses to be ethical in rel
