For Ryan Moats in that Moment

President Jean-Bertrand Aristide (with Robinson) after the U.S. gov't kidnapped him & took him to Antigua and then CAR.

"I tried to love America, its places, its well-ordered marrow, its surplus appurtenance. But I could not love a place. I could not love things. No one in good health can. Imagine a world of material wealth devoid of people. What's to love? Nothing.

I tried to love America but America would not love the ancient, full African whole of me. Thus I could not love America. I had come to know too much of her work. ...Then I stopped trying to love America. I have not despaired the moment."

~Randall Robinson, Quitting America, 2004

"For the Negro, pure and simple, there is no country but Africa, and in America his deeper instincts tell him so. He will never be understood, nor will he ever understand his European guide and teacher, as long as he remains in the countries of his exile. He is often misled by the overflowing and ceaseless generosity of white men* into a belief that his benefactors are getting nearer to the idea of practical oneness and brotherhood with him. But among the phenomena in the relations of the white man to the Negro in the house of bondage none has been more curious than this: that the white man, under a keen sense of the wrongs done to the Negro, will work for him, will suffer for him, will fight for him, will even die for him, but he cannot get rid of a secret contempt for him."

~Edward Wilmot Blyden, Christianity, Islam and the Negro Race 1887

Priest Arrested After Defending Immigrants, Videotaping Police

On the evening of his arrest, at around 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 19, Father Manship walked into My Country Store, a convenience store in East Haven run by Ecuadorians. Inside, the police were removing over 60 expired license plates that had been hung as decorations in the store. The license plates were government property, the officers had said, and they were confiscating them.
Manship entered the shop, took out a digital camera, and began videotaping the East Haven police officers who were removing license plates from a wall in the rear of the store.
The officers immediately ordered Manship to stop videotaping, seized his camera and put him under arrest, according to Manship. Everyone in the store fell silent as Father Manship was led out in handcuffs. He was charged with interfering with a police officer and creating a public disturbance.

After the police arrested the priest, they noticed that the store was equipped with security cameras.
Elio Cruz, a leader in New Haven’s Virgen Del Cisne Ecuadorian community, was in the store that night.
“When [the police officers] realized there was videotaping from My Country Store, they went crazy,” Cruz recalled later. “They said it was illegal and they tried to grab the computer.”
Matute said that three officers entered the back room without his permission and searched the shelves in his storeroom. When they found the hard drive containing the store’s digital security camera footage, they wanted to take it, but Matute wouldn’t let them, he said.
Matute said that the officers then called a detective to bring a video camera to record the security footage off of the computer screen, but the detective’s camera didn’t work.
[See a video clip of three East Haven police officers searching the back room and talking to Matute about his security camera computer and monitor, below.]

Decades of Disparity: New Study Underscores Severity of Racial Bias in Drug-Related Law Enforcement

A new study underscores the severity of racial bias in drug-related law enforcement. According to Human Rights Watch, African-Americans were arrested as much as five and a half times as whites on drug charges every year for the past three decades. The trend dates back to 1980, the earliest date with complete data.

Babies: Roots of Our Social Glue

NYT- ....Babies became adorable and keen to make connections with every passing adult gaze. Mothers became willing to play pass the baby. Dr. Hrdy points out that mother chimpanzees and gorillas jealously hold on to their infants for the first six months or more of life. Other females may express real interest in the newborn, but the mother does not let go: you never know when one of those females will turn infanticidal, or be unwilling or unable to defend the young ape against an infanticidal male.
By contrast, human mothers in virtually every culture studied allow others to hold their babies from birth onward, to a greater or lesser extent depending on tradition. Among the !Kung foragers of the Kalahari, babies are held by a father, grandmother, older sibling or some other allomother maybe 25 percent of the time. Among the Efe foragers of Central Africa, babies spend 60 percent of their daylight hours being toted around by somebody other than their mother. In 87 percent of foraging societies, mothers sometimes suckle each other’s children, another remarkable display of social trust. (more)

30 Days Reality Show - In Jail

Whenever you see this type of "let me put myself in their shoes" documentary, always be cautious. This is a pretty good episode of 30 Days in that it gives those who've never been, a good look into what Jail (not Prison) is like. The downside, of course, is that we don't really get to see the lives of the inmates once they've served their sentence. That, of course, is an important element. Unfortunately, it's missing here. Knowing that this show fails there, however, can help you enjoy it for what it is. Courtesy Achali

...More than 2,000 people turned out to listen to him.
He spoke to them in a slow, gentle but strong voice. His message was clear. He is deeply disappointed at how little Nigeria has achieved since independence.
His generation struggled for freedom, but "we don't seem to have the receipt", he says.
Nigerians must "overcome that miseducation that we received under colonial rule... and celebrate our lives".
He believes that Africans must not reject their own culture but look to their past to discover values that will enable Africa to develop now. ( more )

Bought this for the second time, a few weeks ago at the 'Semetic' Museum in Harvard U.

Bby a go call 'proto-canaanitic' fi dem backthorn cian't just come to say african spirit ovas undas all dem sad myth. The short 'upside-down' turned-around path to the 26 latin symbols we use today is na but limitation fi dem express dem spirit, awo.
