Lies and the Cover Up of Corruption

Last updated on: December 9, 2015 at 10:38 am By Guest Contributor

by Joseph Boston I have zero confidence in the Justice Department’s investigation into the Chicago PD. This is all for show, they have to respond because of the very public corruption, deception, lies and murder of the Chicago PD that is being exposed right now. Chicago PD has BEEN corrupt, it is part of the reputation of these corrupt police that commit crimes and get away with them, it is their “notoriety.” This is not breaking news. If the DOJ does...

Falwell’s Damage and Our Response

Last updated on: December 11, 2015 at 4:47 pm By Carol Howard Merritt

by Carol Howard Merritt This post appeared first at the Tribal Church Blog I, like many people of faith, am reeling from Jerry Falwell, Jr.’s proclamations to his student body. Falwell encouraged the students of Liberty University (there are more than 100,000 of them) to arm themselves against Muslim terrorists. His rhetoric reminded me of a bumper sticker I see here in Tennessee: “Only a good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun.” I went to a... Read more

#SanBernardinoShooting: Will Anything Change??

Last updated on: December 4, 2015 at 5:01 pm By Andre E. Johnson

Here are some reflections from friends of R3 in the aftermath of yet another mass shooting in San Bernardino, California. If you have a reflection you would like to share, please send it to [email protected] Don’t blame the NRA for doing what the NRA does; blame conservative media for stoking the fears and resentments of white people who have been led to believe that government, minorities and white women are the sources of all of their material and psychological insecurities....

God is Not Going to Stop Mass Shootings

Last updated on: December 11, 2015 at 4:47 pm By Fredrick Robinson

By Fredrick D. Robinson Published in the wake of the deadly shooting that shook San Bernardino, California, a New York Daily News headline blared: “GOD ISN’T FIXING THIS”! “This” refers to the gun violence that has become all too normal in our country. In fact, the massacre in San Bernardino marks the 355th mass shooting in the U.S. this year. Many were offended by the Daily News and offered typical rebuttals: “God is still in control,” “Prayer still works,” and... Read more

White Conservative Christian Terror

Last updated on: November 28, 2015 at 7:47 pm By Guest Contributor

by Chenjerai Kumanyika In light of the recent events in Colorado (again), I’m waiting to see if there will be an organized public denouncing of recent acts of white male conservative christian terrorism by white conservative Christians. Since several white male conservative christian leaders have either remained silent or spoken in support of recent white male Christian terrorist acts, some may feel that white conservative Christians should speak out so that those of us who are not white male conservative...

#400Days Later: The Killing of #LaQuanMcDonald

Last updated on: December 11, 2015 at 4:47 pm By Fredrick Robinson

By Fredrick D. Robinson By now you have probably seen the harrowing footage of Officer Jason Van Dyke emptying his firearm into 17-year-old Laquan McDonald’s body. Sixteen shots in all were fired. The bullets tore through his scalp, back, neck, arms, elbow, hands, legs and torso—in some cases eliciting puffs of smoke. Because of the alarming nature of the recording, the Chicago City Council unanimously approved a $5 million settlement to the family even before they filed a lawsuit. The... Read more

Why I Am Boycotting Christmas

Last updated on: November 28, 2015 at 3:47 pm By Andre E. Johnson

In what would become his last public speech, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, in Memphis, Tennessee, told the audience in Mason Temple that night: Now the other thing we’ll have to do is this: Always anchor our external direct action with the power of economic withdrawal…..We don’t have to argue with anybody. We don’t have to curse and go around acting bad with our words. We don’t need any bricks and bottles. We don’t need any Molotov cocktails. We just need to... Read more

“We Young, We Strong, We Do it All Night Long”: #HipHop and the #Ferguson Resistance

Last updated on: November 25, 2015 at 5:51 am By Andre E. Johnson

Below is a paper I presented for the “Exploring Hip Hop Beyond its Beats and Rhymes: Opportunities to Analyze the Power of Music” panel at the National Communication Association held in Las Vegas Nevada on November 20, 2015. I would like to thank the Cross Examination Debate Association for sponsoring the panel. When Darren Wilson shot and killed Michael Brown on August 9, 2014, it caused a firestorm of social media attention and protests along with criticisms. One of the... Read more
