I am inspired by the examples of people like John Brown and Sam Melville. I'm looking for examples of how white radicals can put social justice before thier priveledge. I have questions and concerns about how to build and support democratic community based efforts for revolution, while challenging the legitimacy or power of the rising tide of american facism around us. Katrina, Pan Pueblo Panama, and Abu Graib comes to mind.

What do you think? What challenges do you think white radicals need to address as they focus challenging thier priveledge and complacency? On supporting, and building revoutionary struggle?

Your advice and incites are welcome.

In common struggle,

We can get past this doomed hand-wringing that's sponsored by those who want us to believe that there are no solutions. Now, it is a reasonable question to ask how e're going to pay for the rebuilding of the world, but here again it's more a matter of getting past the propaganda with which we've been bombarded fooking forever than the problem of finding solutions....Massive, fundamental change cannot be policy driven when the policy makers are lackeys and gatekeepers. So fuck 'em. We start building some shit, open some eyes, spread the memes of hope & change, and let the momentum build itself. Eventually, we are going to have to confront the fake war syndrome (drugs, terror, etc.) and eventually there will have to be a political restructuring, but we've got to get their hooks out of us first.....The fact is that anything is possible, despite what they tell you. What we (the oppressed and/or unwitting dupes, by which I do not mean the people on this board but the general population) have is more a failure of imagination than a failure of will. Luckily, not everyone is cowed into submission by the fear machine.

Imperialism entails taking what you want no matter where it is. There are enough corrupt governments in the world for the imperial and colonial powers to find local partners willing to sell or give their peoples land and resources to foreign interests. These puppet governments are adequately trained by the imperialists on how to wipe out resistance with violence and state sponsored terror. But there is always internal resistance and when the resistance grows stronger and especially when it wins seats in government, it is considered especially dangerous to the imperial powers and their lap dogs. Such is the case with Hezbollah. While Lebanon has no oil, it does have something that comes between North America and access to Middle East oil, it has a growing resistance movement that is embedded in the people and refuses to be co-opted for western interests. As such, Hezbollah is a thorn in the glutinous belly of North American (and Israeli) imperialism.

As Marylanders prepare to celebrate Easter, some of them, members of the state's National Guard, are receiving a notice from the Pentagon. It says that they will be deployed to Iraq. They are being called up to fulfill the insane "Surge" strategy of the Bush-Cheney Gang. Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski (D-MD) has voted to fund the "Surge." She is complicit in that regime's wrongdoing. I say: Keep the MD National Guard home and send Sen. Mikulski to Iraq!

A faith-based group of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and straight allies called the Equality Riders have been traveling around the U.S. visiting primarily Christian Universities that have policies they believe discriminate against LGBT students. Though they have not been welcomed by many of the universities they have visited, Riders were warmly greeted by George Fox University on Thursday where they presented in classrooms and had open dialogue with students and administration throughout the day, conversations that encouraged a critical engagement with scripture, and the vast spectrum of theological perspectives, but most importantly the personal stories of individuals whose lives have been affected and often damaged because of certain theological interpretations and actions.

I will never stop! One more time 9/11 was an inside job!

It matters because they killed 3,000 of us and they started a war based on that lie. Do you understand? They did it. Rogue elements of our current government and other organizations like  http://pnac.org/.

Our only job is to educate those who are still ignorant to the TRUTH about 9/11 and Government Sponsored Terror.

I wish you to understand how the INJUSTICE MADE to my husband, Rev. Ashley McDonald Buchanan, D.D., American Citizen (born on a U.S. base and served the U.S. Army) and Honorably Discharged Vietnam Veteran WAS GREAT AND WHY MR. KARL W.B. SCHWARZ DID NOT HELP EVEN IF HE KNOWN OUR SITUATION SINCE DECEMBER 2004 I.E. ONLY ONE MONTH AFTER OUR FORCED SEPARATION (he is supposed to be a great U.S. Patriot, right?) by "her" and how "she" DESTROYED his reputation - Ashley was supposed to pass at the Canadian borders - they separated us 19 months for nothing and we lost these 19 precious months we could spend together and all we had is 5 ½ months because my husband died December 5th, 2006 (Ashley was not even able to visit me just as simple visitor) because somebody LIED in Canada AND ATTACKED MY HUSBAND'S REPUTATION and I have VERY GOOD CUES of who this could be simply because "she" did a stupid a mistake by not applying the appropriate law and she needed to cover her stupidity with LIES so that means she is more than just doing stupidities, she is evil to top all of it off. I HAVE THE LAW WITH ME AND I STAND FOR MY HUSBAND'S REPUTATION AGAIN UNTIL I WILL GET WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO GET FOR HIM BY EXPOSING THE TRUTH. With the little criminal record (my husband's record) I have with me, I could challenge the Minister of Immigration Canada and that would be a child's game if of course he would believe the Officials and the Official papers in North Carolina... I WOULD LOVE THE ONE WHO IS SUPPOSED TO BE ASHAMED, TO BE ASHAMED FOR WHAT "SHE" DID. p.s. I selected "Imperialism & war" because the way my husband was treated was like he dealt with a Imperialist border agent and I think you will understand why I selected war.

what is being done is selling the masses capitalism and calling it all liberation and now revolution -- b.u.t. what it really is is using our peoples -- a few select -- from to oprah to jay z and obama as a tool to colonize afrika and our minds for the masters. it works well for the bourgeois classes -- for it advances their cause, class and position and therefore them = the 10 to 1% -- for them it is a revolution -- one of privilege and capital and not of movement and the masses....
