Rev. Jesse Jackson to Assist Gabby Calhoun, Honor Student Who Had Teeth Knocked Out by Police

Rev. Jackson says that as we remember the legacy of Trayvon Martin, we must realize that there are thousands of youth just like him all over the country.

(SYRACUSE, NY YourBlackWorld) - This is a quick update to those who are following the case of Gabriella Calhoun, the honor student who had her teeth knocked out by the Bloomington, Illinois police.

Gabby is being charged with two felonies, one alleging that she assaulted a police officer, the other stating that she resisted arrest.

Woman Given 16 Months for Reporting Her Rape & George Zimmerman?

As the US reels over the verdict in the killing of Trayvon Martin, and George Zimmerman goes free, we are directed to the plight of Marte Deborah Dalelv, a rape victim who narrowly escaped being sentenced to prison

(CLEVELAND) - Rape prosecutions are difficult in the United Arab Emirates. While western extravagance is tolerated and even encouraged, the bottom line is that laws in these countries are completely biased toward men and against women.

The reason is that they are influenced by Islamic law.

Minority Rights and the Killing of Trayvon Martin

‘Trayvon Martin could have been me thirty five years ago.’ - US President Barack Obama

(LOS ANGELES) - Race alone is not enough to explain the outcome of the Martin Zimmerman trial. We need also to understand the plight of minority groups qua groups if we are to prevent future tragic killings.

If the notion of human rights is to be all meaningful, it is imperative both that we help African-Americans achieve parity with other groups, and also that we safeguard the existence and identity of minority groups.

BREAKING NEWS: America`s Favorite Weed Killer Linked to Cancer

Monsanto clearly does not want the world to know the truth about Roundup, one of its fattest cash cows.

(WASHINGTON DC) - It's shameful how few American media outlets have written about the latest scientific studies linking Roundup, the world's most popular and profitable weed killer, and cancer.

Might it be because Monsanto, makers of Roundup and as we all know a generally bad corporate citizen with a litany of alleged crimes against humanity, spends billions in advertising and marketing and dedicates a good portion of that budget to print and television ads?

The Death of Trayvon Martin Has Unleashed a Wave of Demagoguery Which Must be Answered

Few of those urging demonstrations against the alleged "racism" in the jury verdict finding Mr. Zimmerman not guilty have spent very much time examining the law and the trial itself.

(WASHINGTON DC) - The death of Trayvon Martin is, of course, a devastating event for his family. That a 17 year old boy returning from a visit to a nearby store for a snack should have his life taken is difficult to understand and accept.

On many levels, the incident was, as President Obama has said, "tragic."

The (Florida) Law, Sir, Is an Ass

Nobody was listening — least of all the media, who know a headline when they hear one.

(DAYTONA BEACH, FL) - First Central Florida, then the South 48 and finally the World According To Facebook, have all been agog over the past month with the ongoing Trial of George Zimmerman, or the triumph of Law over Justice.

Or, as one Congresswoman put it the unacknowledged and silent trial of Trayvon Martin.

George Zimmerman, `Not Guilty` A Travesty Of Justice?

Luke Easter makes a number of indisputable points in this poem.

(CLEVELAND) - Too little is being done to save Black youth on a daily basis in America, and yet the death of Trayvon Martin is dominating headlines day after day.

Of course the Martin case involving George Zimmerman is about much more than a single life, but what about everyone else? What about those who die without a mention?

If George Zimmerman were Monsanto, Would any Black Leaders Seek Justice for Trayvon?

There is no leadership in any race, religion or culture that really stands up for the most important assaults on our lives. They are all sellouts.

(WASHINGTON DC) - If George Zimmerman were Monsanto, would any black leaders seek justice for Trayvon? The answer is no.

The African-American community is up in arms over a jury of six women finding George Zimmerman not guilty of the second degree murder of Trayvon Martin. That same community is SILENT on the routine killing of young black babies by GMOs, vaccines and even the cancer-causing chemicals found in processed meat.

The Enemy WIthin

Make this Holy Month of Ramadan a month of passive resistance against all our enemies. Inside and out. Make it a Ramadan to remember. Ramadan Kareem.

(LONDON) - Ramadan is upon us when all true Muslims cleanse their bodies and souls by fasting, praying, meditating and bringing the best of themselves to the fore.

I wish that this Ramadan would be the month that will bring an end to the bloodshed and suffering of Muslim Arabs from North Africa to the Arabian Gulf and beyond. But the indications that this is not going to happen any day soon are there for all to see.
