You Think What?

Africa Blanche Reilly Dark here to ask the question: If two white men could be arrested and charged with the police report indicating their bias motive as racial and anti-black, I’m wondering is Rapides Parrish in the same state of Louisiana as Jena? (more…)

Authorities in Alexandria, Louisiana, located about 40 miles southwest of Jena Louisiana the site of yesterday’s massive demonstration in support of the Jena Six, report the arrest of two individuals driving a red pick-up truck on Thursday night with nooses dangling from the back of the truck as they repeatedly passed demonstration participants who were waiting for buses to transport them back to their home states.

I wonder. Where do you live? Apparently you do not live in Jena Louisiana. You say the case of the so-called Jena Six ” is not, nor has it ever been about race.”

Seems to me it’s about race. Jena Louisiana small town of nearly 3000 people most of whom are white and real bigoted including you. The rest of the town’s population is black people who’ve always known and lived with the oppressive conditions the world has now come to know exist in your jurisdiction. (more…)

Just because the president says the economy is in good shape does not make it true. The trickle-down theory of modern economics is not working effectively. There’s a kink in the pipeline.

George Bush will never go down in history remembered as a great president who enhanced the American economy.

Louise Hunter and her staff will always be known for helping others.

We have a theory at YTW . “If it happened before I was born it has no significance in my life.” This statement is in reference to historic events and how each new generation relates to those events.

Many young people today have previously expressed this opinion when it comes to matters of civil rights for all people. (more…)

It has been reported Hillary Clinton, the senator from New York state who is also a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States has described the tragic situation in Jena Louisiana as a “teachable moment for America.” (??) What does she mean? (more…)

Fact is law enforcement and governments all over this nation have begun to go after John and Jane Citizens in the same way they would unjustly treat blacks, and other minoritiy persons. (more…)

“the largest commercial bank in the United States in terms of deposits, and the largest company of its kind in the world.

Bank of America is the largest American company (by market capitalization) that is not part of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. On July 19, 2006, Bank of America reported second quarter 2006 net income of $5.48 billion, surpassing that of Citigroup for the first time.”

With it’s eye on the Chinese consumer banking market and the Mexican consumer market, because in a series of serious missteps the banking company has managed to anger, annoy and rip-off so many Americans it must needs find fertile ground in foreign markets; especially now since its nearest competitor in the industry, Citigroup, has backed off from the foreign markets.
