War and Natural Gas: The Israeli Invasion and Gaza's Offshore Gas Fields

War and Natural Gas: The Israeli Invasion and Gaza's Offshore Gas Fields: "The military invasion of the Gaza Strip by Israeli Forces bears a direct relation to the control and ownership of strategic offshore gas reserves.

This is a war of conquest. Discovered in 2000, there are extensive gas reserves off the Gaza coastline.

British Gas (BG Group) and its partner, the Athens based Consolidated Contractors International Company (CCC) owned by Lebanon's Sabbagh and Koury families, were granted oil and gas exploration rights in a 25 year agreement signed in November 1999 with the Palestinian Authority."

Oscar Grant, R.I.P.


Hat tip: Abagond.

The police was totally unjustified in Mr. Grant. The police in general need to be sensitive when it comes to policing people of color in their communities. They need to be more respectful as well. He was a good young man who was struggling to raise his child and go to school at the same time.

There is a pattern in police departments around the country to target Blacks, men and women, for no particular reason at all. Remember Eleanor Bumpurs, Amadou Diallo, Taniysha, Sean Bell, anyone? Let's remember them as well.

Rest in peace

Hip Hop's negative portrayal of black women

I have often defended Hip Hop as some have tried to blame it for every societal ill that befalls the United States. One thing I can not defend Hip Hop on is it's negative portrayal of women, especially black women.

Click the link below to listen to my interview with Towanna Freeman a women's empowerment speaker who often speaks on Hip Hops effect on our youth. We discuss the topic of Hip Hop's effect on our young girls and some "grown" women.
