Five Liberal Excuses To Do Absolutely Nothing

Last updated on: July 28, 2015 at 10:10 am By Carol Howard Merritt

First posted at Tribal Church The person has been robbed and beaten. He’s bleeding on the side of the road. Unlike the Good Samaritan, we step over him. But we have really great reasons for why we do it. 1) We don’t want to put on a bandage, because we would not be fixing the deeper problems. I often hear this as a criticism of people who are actually doing the work of feeding the hungry. It is presented as an... Read more

Two Sides of a Copper Coin: The Coloring of #RachelDolezal and #SandraBland in a Post-Racial America

Last updated on: August 31, 2015 at 10:30 am By Guest Contributor

First posted at Rainbows and Lilacs I have always found the term post-racial to not only be peculiar and oxymoronic, but flat out asinine. (didn’t want to say stupid) How on God’s green Earth, and, more specifically God’s chosen land via the notion of the European settlers’ ideology of manifest destiny, which was an inkling of their impetus to settle in the New World, now known as the United States of America, a nation built and defined on the aesthetics of color and Race,...

A documentary film by Kamasi Hill. Born in the Struggle is a documentary film that explores the lives of the children of 1960’s and 1970’s Radical Activists.

Last updated on: July 17, 2015 at 10:19 am By Guest Contributor

On June 29, 2014, my dear SistaFriend, Mrs. Lakisha Michelle Fitzgerald Mitchell, transitioned from earth to eternity. We had been sisters, friends, confidants, laughing buddies, prayer partners, and leaning posts for what seemed like forever, but was really almost a couple of decades. I never had a biological sister. She was more than my sister – she was MY GIRL! Upon taking a few moments to reflect on where I was and what I was doing this time last year,... Read more

We Have to Dismantle White Supremacy Before We Can Forgive

Last updated on: July 13, 2015 at 8:49 am By Guest Contributor

by Leah C.K. Lewis First posted at forharriet.com Shortly after the murders of the Mother Emanuel 9 in Charleston, our nation began a “conversation” about forgiveness. Nadine Collier, Ethel Lance’s daughter, forgave her mother’s murderer in what seemed like mere hours of the shooting. This stunning act of forgiveness provided us with a point of reflection. Then, at the terrorist’s bond hearing, Myra Thompson’s grandson, Anthony Thompson, conveyed his forgiveness. Christopher Singleton and his sister Camryn similarly forgave this same man who murdered their mother,... Read more
