    NEW YORK, Aug 30 (IPS) - They were the backbone of the U.S. Gulf Coast economy, working the hardest jobs for the lowest pay.
    Now, a year after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita swept through the region, thousands of poor African-American women evacuees have been essentially left to fend for themselves in government trailer parks far from any urban centre, with no buses to get to work or childcare if they do find a job.
    "We wanted to do something to lift the sisters and give (…)

    CNN’s Vice President of Racism and Associates - by Stephen Lendman
    Move over Bill, Chris, Michelle, Rush, Sean, & Company. Make way for a worthy challenger to the title of leader of the racist rant pack holding court weekday evenings on his hourly show on CNN. Who would have thought back in the days when this well-known cable TV financial news anchor was CNN’s executive vice president and then president of the ill-fated CNNfn program he launched that one day he’d switch roles on the (…)

    Arabic T-shirt sparks airport row
    8/31/2006 9:00:00 AM GMT
    Jarrar, an architect of Iraqi descent, was wearing a T-shirt that read “We Will Not Be Silent”
    “I grew up and spent all my life living under authoritarian regimes. And I know that these things happen. But I’m shocked that they happened to me here, in the U.S. Especially that I moved from Iraq because of the war that was waged in Iraq under titles like democracy and freedom,” said Iraqi-born architect Raed Jarrar.

    "When I tell you that the area where I grew up now resembles Tijuana more than the US—well, hang on, you’re about to see what I mean," says Theresa Harmon. Tennessee’s most vociferous anti-immigration organizer has just picked me up, straight from work at a local construction firm, in her red 1986 Mercury Cougar—a "kicker," she calls it fondly, apologizing for the lack of air-conditioning. "Bless your heart—I’m used to the heat," she says, talking her usual mile a (…)

    Israeli Black Panthers support the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel
    by Reuven Abarjel, introduction by Jeffrey Blankfort
    During the late ‘60s and into the ‘70s, the reputation of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, which had its start in Oakland in 1966, spread far and wide, not only throughout the United States, but around the world, where the party was considered the leading arm of the Black liberation struggle in AmeriKKKa.
    In Israel, the Black Panthers’ exploits (…)

    I have long endorsed the political strategy of supporting both GLBT friendly Democrats and Republicans. For pragmatic reasons, it made sense not to put all of our eggs in one basket. However, that was before the GOP leadership was hijacked by right wing basket cases. Sadly, I think it is time for the GLBT movement to reassess the political landscape and consider saying goodbye to bipartisanship.
    The defenders of the status quo will claim that loyalty is an important (…)

    Gibson forgot Rule # 1: Public criticism not permitted for some
    NEW YORK, NY — (OfficialWire) — 08/01/06 — Exchange the word "Jew" or "Jews" in the recent diatribe of Mel Gibson-as reported by the website TMZ.com-with any other group of people and the world would have ignored Gibson’s statement and dutifully concentrated on his apparent addiction.
    Imagine for a moment that Mel said: "Fucking Americans... The Americans are responsible for all the wars in the world. Are you an American?" (…)

    As the racist war on Iraq and Palestine rages on, the killing of Iraqis and Palestinians continue to proliferate with no end in sight. One might wonder if these coordinated attacks projected by the United States and the Zionist entity were no other than a war of terror and genocide against the Arab Nation?
    As a person who was born in Palestine, before the creation of the Zionist state, I was observing the racist acts of the West unfolding against my own country, (…)
