01/31/05 :: By Bonnie Yarbrough Heroes of Social Insecurity: A 'Leninist' StrategyCategories :: Bush Administration :: Discrimination :: Hypocrisy :: Social Security
Americans don't need a secret de-coder ring to understand the PR push to sell the Plan to destroy Social Security, but some may enjoy a trip down memory lane before the State of the Union re-defines privatization.
12/22/04 :: By Delton Murphy John Conyers Urges Release of Exit Poll DataCategories :: Activism :: Discrimination :: Election 2004 :: Elections
As the mystery of the supposedly inaccurate early exit polls indicating that Senator John Kerry was beating President Bush in several key states including Ohio in last month's election begins to fade from our memory, at least one Congressman is refusing to ignore this blatant irregularity.
12/22/04 :: By Delton Murphy African Americans Die Prematurely Due to Health CareCategories :: Discrimination :: Healthcare
A brand new report by the American Journal of Public Health has estimated that 866,000 African Americans died prematurely in the United States between 1991 and 2000 because they failed to receive the same level of health care as white patients.
12/22/04 :: By Delton Murphy Posthumous JusticeCategories :: Activism :: Civil Rights :: Discrimination :: History :: Race
The Ghosts of Mississippi will never be silenced--not until justice is done. Forty years later the klansmen who orchestrated the "Freedom Summer Slayings" of 1964 are finally being sought.
12/21/04 :: By Delton Murphy Ethnic Cleansing: Bush StyleCategories :: Bush Administration :: Civil Rights :: Discrimination :: Government
Arabs, Africans, Latinos, Muslims --the United States government just can't seem to agree on the best way to get rid of these pesky ethnicities: war, deportation, drug testing or concentration camps. Maybe a combination of all these tactics will finally do the trick.
11/08/04 :: By Delton Murphy Who Let The Bush Win?Categories :: Discrimination :: Election 2004 :: Elections :: Polling :: Progressive Strategy :: Reference
In order to effectively frame the dialogue and shape the language necessary for progressive change, we must first take an introspective and honest look at both who and how America voted in last week's election.
10/29/04 :: By Delton Murphy Voting Wrongs of the RightCategories :: Criminal Acts :: Discrimination :: Election 2004 :: Elections :: Republicans
This year's election theft tactic isn't limited to illegally purging Black voters from the voter rolls. This time the Republicans are challenging the federally guaranteed use of provisional ballots. This is crazy because the reason some voters are requesting a provisional ballot is because they were erroneously purged from the voter rolls in the first place!
10/25/04 :: By Delton Murphy Black Faces in High Places: Top 31 Reasons Why Ethnic Communities Will Vote For John KerryCategories :: Civil Rights :: Discrimination :: Election 2004 :: Polling :: Reference
Let's leave the land of delusion for awhile and highlight a few unpleasant facts of life under Bush over the last couple of years by taking a look at how George W. fares with civil rights and ethnic communites across the county. So before you start contemplating life as a Canadian just in case the unspeakable occurs on election day, arm yourself with the facts.
10/12/04 :: By Delton Murphy Muslim Until Proven InnocentCategories :: Discrimination :: Patriot Act :: Terrorism
Many Muslims today realize that it is their American citizenship, not their Islamic identity that is tenuous. Prior to 9/11, Muslims in America were primarily focused on changing United States policy toward Palestine, Kashmir and Iraq. But since that time the effort to reconstitute their identities as American Muslims is making domestic relations, civil rights and interfaith relations much more important.
10/05/04 :: By Delton Murphy The Paranoia of the ThiefCategories :: Books :: Discrimination :: Election 2004 :: Media :: Progressive Strategy
We consciously live in an era where fiction substitutes for fact, lies become misstatements, justice is now revenge and war is quickly becoming the norm. The unholy alliance between the Republicans and the Right Wing has just intensified as we enter the homestretch of the presidential election. The fact that they are resorting to these tactics is evidence that they are running scared. Gone is the Bush strut and swagger. Absent are the Haiku-laced press conferences of Donald Rumsfeld, who just yesterday had to admit that he has "seen no evidence of a Saddam Hussein-Al Qaeda connection". And Dick Cheney hasn't attempted to unite the country through fear in almost two weeks. Uh-oh. It seems that finally after four years, the paranoia of the thief has kicked in.
09/28/04 :: By Delton Murphy Prisoner of HopeCategories :: Anti-War :: Books :: Discrimination :: Election 2004 :: Philosophy :: Progressive Strategy :: Terrorism
It's difficult to begin to heal the deep-seated wounds of 9/11 with Osama Bin Laden still at-large. As someone who lost a friend during the World Trade Center attacks, the capture of Saddam Hussein and the assassination of his sons along with over 11,000 Iraqi civilians and countless Afghanis, didn’t make me feel any better nor did it bring me any closure.
07/20/04 :: By Delton Murphy The Demons of Disenfranchisement: America's Dark History of Voter PurgingCategories :: Discrimination :: Election 2004 :: Elections :: History
The purging of felony voters from voter rolls across the country reminds us that even in the 21st century African-Americans continue to fight for the right to vote.
