We do not want the Iranians to have a nuclear weapon, the capacity to make a nuclear weapon, or the knowledge about how to make a nuclear weapon….The international community must come together to make it very clear to Iran that we will not tolerate construction of a nuclear weapon. Iran would be dangerous if… Read more.

Black US congresswoman assaults white cop…then cries racism?
Too often, the claim of racism is nothing more than the last refuge of black scoundrels. And it behooves all black people of conscience – especially those of us who advocate for real victims of racism – to condemn these scoundrels.
