More Whites Swept Into U.S.
Gulag
The
racial incarceration gap has narrowed, slightly, with more whites and going to
prison in recent years. It's almost like law enforcement is looking for
more feeders for their beds, said Soffiyah Elijah, executive director
of The Correctional Association of New York. As the economy continues to
decline, poverty is closely associated with who law enforcement goes after,
she said. So, you find more whites being swept up in the
system.
New Book Exposes
Manning Marable's Lies About Malcolm X
The
central lie of Manning Marable's book Malcolm X: A Life of
Reinvention, is
the idea that Malcolm X was not an African Internationalist, not committed to
revolution, but that when push came to shove, he was really part of the American
dream and the American structure, said Dr. Todd Burroughs, a professor of communications at
Morgan State University. Burroughs and Dr. Jared Ball are co-editors of A Lie of
Reinvention: Correcting Manning Marable's Malcolm X, a collection of essays by
prominent Black intellectuals and activists. It was a shame that we had to do
the book, said Burroughs. For him to mess it up this badly is a
travesty.
U.S. Will Bring
About World War Three
The U.S.
and its allies are running amuk, much like the Axis powers in the 1930s, said
Dr. Francis Boyle, professor of international law at the
University of Illinois, at Champaign. After 9/11, we've had the United
States, Britain, France and NATO literally rampaging around the world,
destroying and invading states, said Dr. Boyle. They are going to lead us
into a Third World War over something. Boyle's newest book is titled
Destroying Libya and World Order: The Three-Decade U.S. Campaign to
Terminate the Qaddafi Revolution.
