Michael Jackson, The King of Pop R.I.P. 1958-2009

The King of Pop Music Michael Jackson has died at age 50. According to reports, the pop legend suffered a cardiac arrest this afternoon and medics were unable to revive him. A TMZ source says Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived, while the Times says he was in a deep coma upon arrival.

Michael Joseph Jackson was an American recording artist, entertainer, and businessman. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene at the age of 11 as a member of The Jackson 5 and began a solo career in 1971 while still a member of the group. Referred to as the "King of Pop" in subsequent years, five of his solo studio albums are among the world's best-selling records: Off the Wall (1979), Thriller (1982), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995).

In the early 1980s, he became a dominant figure in popular music and the first African-American entertainer to amass a strong crossover following on MTV. The popularity of his music videos airing on MTV, such as "Beat It", "Billie Jean" and Thriller—credited for transforming the music video into an art form and a promotional tool—helped bring the relatively new channel to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" made Jackson an enduring staple on MTV in the 1990s.

With stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of physically complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced many hip hop, pop and contemporary R&B artists such as Usher, Justin Timberlake, MC Hammer, etc.

REST IN PEACE, MICHAEL JACKSON. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED.

Nixon's hatred for Interracial Babies- From Racialicious' Latoyia Peterson

Thanks, Racialicious!

On Jan. 23, 1973, when the Supreme Court struck down laws criminalizing abortion in Roe v. Wade, President Richard M. Nixon made no public statement. But privately, newly released tapes reveal, he expressed ambivalence.
Nixon worried that greater access to abortions would foster “permissiveness,” and said that “it breaks the family.” But he also saw a need for abortion in some cases — like interracial pregnancies, he said.
“There are times when an abortion is necessary. I know that. When you have a black and a white,” he told an aide, before adding, “Or a rape.”

—”From Nixon Tapes, Ambivalence Over Abortion, Not Watergate,” The New York Times, June 23, 2009
________________________________________
I’m not surprised at all at Nixon’s anti-interracial(Black man and White woman)remark. That’s a sentiment prominant Whites have held for centuries. Remember the incident in Maine three years ago when Katelyn Kampf’s parents abducted her and tried to force her to abort her biracial child. Or the racist/sexist remark by a Michigan sheriff nearly 20 years ago when he said that he was against all abortions except when it involved a Black man and a White woman.
These people are just evil and racist. Unfortunately, attitudes still exist to this day.

Macon d's excellent article

Once again, Macon d's on to something. Something this society refuses to address now with this country increasinginly multiracial and multicultural and now that Barack Obama is president. I think we need to take some time to think about this country and how it was shaped and how past actions shaped the nation that it is today.

Gunman Opens Fire At the Holocaust Museum

This one was motivated by pure hatred and bigotry against Blacks and Jews. That guy has a long history of bigotry that law enforcement agencies were on the lookout for a long time.

I have to say that anti-Black and anti-Semitic hatred are still prevalent today.

My heart goes out to the family of the security guard, Stephen T. Johns, who was killed today. May he rests in peace.

As for this racist bigot, I hope he gets the maximum punishment available.

Christianist Group's Billboard Compares Atheism To Murder

Christianist Group's Billboard Compares Atheism To Murder

A group calling themselves "Answers in Genesis" recently took out a billboard in Texas depicting a young boy holding a gun.

Here’s how Answers in Genesis describes themselves:

An apologetics (i.e., Christianity-defending) ministry,
dedicated to enabling Christians to defend their faith and to proclaim
the gospel of Jesus Christ effectively…we also desire to train others
to develop a biblical worldview, and seek to expose the bankruptcy of
evolutionary ideas, and its bedfellow, a “millions of years old” earth
(and even older universe).

[..]Personally, I can’t believe they are implying that
non-believers, or to whom God “doesn’t matter,” are going to take a gun
and shoot someone in the face.

Striking yes; thoughtful, absolutely not.

Although supposedly their beef is
with evolution, I don’t see how that point is conveyed with this
picture. So, according to them, believing what Darwin had to say means
a person is lawless and will go on a killing rampage?

'Dalai Lama of the rainforest' brings climate change warning to Britain - News from Survival International

'Dalai Lama of the rainforest' brings climate change warning to Britain - News from Survival International

\A Yanomami Indian shaman from the Brazilian Amazon, dubbed ‘the Dalai Lama of the Rainforest’, will journey to Europe in June to give a message to world leaders in advance of the UN climate change conference in Copenhagen in December.

Shaman Davi Kopenawa Yanomami will tell MPs at the British Houses of Parliament that the world’s rainforests cannot be bought, and can only be saved if indigenous peoples’ land rights are recognized.

• Press conference: Wednesday 10 June, 10.30 am, Survival International, 6 Charterhouse Buildings, Goswell Road, London EC1M 7ET (For journalists only – please contact Survival if you wish to attend)
• Photo opportunity: Wednesday 10 June, 3.00 pm, Westminster Green, Houses of Parliament
• Royal Commonwealth Society panel discussion on indigenous peoples, Thursday 11 June, 6.15 pm at the Commonwealth Club. Details on www.thercs.org

Davi says, ‘We must listen to the cry of the earth which is asking for help. The earth has no price. It can’t be bought, or sold or exchanged. It is very important that white people, black people and indigenous peoples fight together to save the life of the forest and the earth. If we don’t fight together what will our future be? Your children need land and nature alive and standing. We Indians want respect for our rights. You can learn with us and with our shamans. That is important not only for the Yanomami but for the future of the whole world.’

Alisa Valdes Rodriguez Article

This article is written by Alisa Valdes Rodriguez concerning the media sanctification of privileged white men who kill. The media tends to cover up crimes committed by those guys. This is a mirror image of the missing pretty white women syndrome concocted by the same media. I also want to thank macon d. for bringing this article to the attention of the people that has been covered up or denied for a very long time.
http://stuffwhitepeopledo.blogspot.com/2009/05/act-surprised-when-young-white-guys.htmlMacon d. from Stuff White People Do Blog has the following commentary:

For another discussion of the common white tendency to overlook that which is dangerous because it seems so normal, see Tim Wise's "School Shootings and White Denial."

October 15th Solidarity in the Kulin Nations

The October 15th defendants will be appearing in the High court on May 15th where they will once again have to plead guilty or not guilty. The court case has been moved to the high court as the police are charging several of the defendants with "participating in an organised criminal group". The police are doing this in an attempt to salvage some credibility after the original terrorism charges were not allowed to go forward. This will also be exactly one and half years since the state's 'terror' raids and invasion of the defendant's homes and the community of Ruatoki in 2007. The October 15th Solidarity Group in Tamaki-Makaurau are calling for a morning solidarity picket. This is will the only time (as far as we know) when all the defendants will be up in Auckland this year.

Remember the state terrorism and support Tino Tangatiratanga and Te Mana Motuhake o Tuhoe! Show your solidarity Please bring banners, placards and flags.

The struggle continues! Ka whawhai tonu matou!
