  • It’s time to think the unthinkable
    15 July 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Bruce Dixon, BC Editor
    "Don’t put that out there" is the admonition delivered to folks impolite enough to talk about bad things which might happen but have not yet come to pass, as if mere discussion or consideration of some awful possibility makes it more likely. We at BC understand politeness. But failing to recognize, to examine and to understand unpleasant possibilities before they become devastating realities is worse than impolite. It’s foolish.
    The unpleasant truths of this (…)

    By: Michael H. Cottman
    A broad coalition of civil rights groups will gather Wednesday evening on Capitol Hill for an "urgent call to action" to pressure the U.S. Congress to stop stalling and vote on the renewal of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
    Black leaders say because congressional lawmakers have delayed voting on the re-authorization of the Voting Rights Act, many black Americans could find their right to vote in jeopardy.
    "We are urging Congress to take action now," Melanie Campbell, (…)

  • Imperial Racism

    Racism, the ideology that came into full flower as a justification for European conquest of most of the planet, is now headquartered in the United States - with an annex in Israel. Tel Aviv is a very active annex.
    There could be no justification for George Bush’s aggressions, without the underlying assumptions of racial superiority. Bush has committed multiple crimes against peace - a capital Nuremburg offense for which a number of Nazis were hanged. He is a war criminal, many times over. (…)

    Don’t Blame Canada By Stephen Lautens June 16, 2006 In the past few weeks, I’ve heard some of the yapping social experts say something that really gets my blood boiling.
    I heard it in reference to two recent incidents - the breaking up of an alleged terrorist plot and a sweep in Toronto that arrested a few truckloads of gang members.
    What was it the enlightened commentators said that got my goat? When it was pointed out the people accused in each case were immigrants or ethnic (…)

  • Sanctions & boycotts against racist, Apartheid Israel should exclude universities for DISCOURSE
    9 June 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
    5 comments

    The world should respond to Israel’s racist, human-rights abusing Apartheid policies with SANCTIONS and BOYCOTTS. However Israeli universities should be exempt from such blanket boycotts because the academic ethos is about truth, reason and dialogue - indeed such dialogue might well help to bring an end to gross, proto-Nazi ultrazionist violations of the Geneva, Human Rights and Rights of the Child Conventions.
    The recent academic boycott resolutions of the Canadian CUPE and the British (…)

  • Amendment Proposal Needs Serious Attention
    8 June 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Politics aside, how would Constitution be affected by gay marriage ban?
    Media Advisory
    In a move that most political observers describe as a tactic to increase voter turnout among his party’s conservative base, George W. Bush announced on June 5 that he supported a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. While much of the media discussion of the issue focuses on the GOP’s political maneuvering, few reports examined what the actual effects of the proposed amendment would be.
    Some (…)

  • SAUDI COSMETICS?
    7 June 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    By William Fisher As human rights organizations expressed skepticism that detainees recently transferred from Guantanamo Bay to Saudi Arabian custody could receive fair trials and escape torture - and a new study charged that the country’s textbooks continue to promote intolerance of other religions - the oil-rich Kingdom put the finishing touches on its new Human Rights Commission. The new commission - which the government characterizes as an independent rights watchdog — came into (…)

  • Panel: N.C. Should Pay for 1898 Race Riot
    4 June 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    By MIKE BAKER
    RALEIGH, N.C. — A state-appointed commission is urging North Carolina to provide reparations for the 1898 racial violence that sparked an exodus of more than 2,000 black residents from Wilmington.
    The 500-page report that was produced after six years of study also said the violence, which killed as many as 60 people, was not a spontaneous riot but rather the nation’s only recorded coup d’etat.
    "There is no amount of money that can repair what happened years ago and (…)
