Intellectual Warfare
By: Jacob Carruthers,
A scholarly work several years in the making, Intellectual Warfare testifies that the foundation of modern Western thought, theory, and practice can be traced back to ancient African thought, theory, and practice. Dr. Carruthers exposes the African influence on Greek and Roman thought and its influence on the development of modern Western society, then establishes the urgency to defend and honor the role of Ancient African civilizations on this major event
In the pages of Intellectual Warfare , Dr. Carruthers exposes fallacies and reestablishes new and undistorted ways of viewing the formation of Western society and how classic literature shaped the contemporary world in intricate and sometimes startlingly and brutally honest and uncompromising detail. He is not satisfied with simply challenging the reader to think about things differently, but goes further citing specific examples and offering instruction on how to begin to retrain oneself to think about the origins of modern society in other terms. The esteemed scholar and defender of African centered thought is ever vigilant and provocative in the pages of this text. He separates this latest work from other such critical efforts by expanding the text with instruction for implementing new ways of looking at the educational curriculum to ensure the challenge to improve education can be taken up by future generations. He offers insight into how to incorporate the reexamination of classical African literature in the education system.

..."The rules and beliefs which provide the means for legitimating White power were in fact pre-established, preordained and imposed on Blacks against their will by Whites from the beginning. The illegitimacy of White American power is founded on the illegitimacy of its original sins--genocide, theft of property, and enslavement. For social power to be exercised effectively the power holder must possess or control some important or valued material and/or social resource(s) which is the basis of his power. By strategically rewarding or depriving others of these resources, he may use them to influence behavior in ways compatible with his interests"...Read the Full Essay

RBG Street Scholars Think Tank "State of Black America"
View below or open the Vlog
bell hooks is one of America's most accessible public intellectuals. In this two-part video, extensively illustrated with many of the images under analysis, she makes a compelling argument for the transformative power of cultural criticism.
In Part One, hooks discusses the theoretical foundations and positions that inform her work (such as the motives behind representations, as well as their power in social and cultural life). hooks also explains why she insists on using the phrase "white supremacist capitalist patriarchy" to describe the interlocking systems of domination that define our reality.
In Part Two, she domonstrates the value of cultural studies in concrete analysis through such subjects as the OJ Simpson case, Madonna, Spike Lee, and Gangsta rap. The aim of cultural analysis, she argues, should be the production of enlightened witnesses - audiences who engaged with the representations of cultural life knowledgeably and vigilantly.
"The issue is not freeing ourselves from representations. It's really about being enlightened witnesses when we watch representations." -bell hooks

Medical Apartheid
Medical Ethicist Harriet Washington Documents How Blacks Still Suffer at the Hands of Medicine (Click here for the Video )
"The fear of medicine is based on real events. And real events go way beyond -- way before and way after -- Tuskegee," says Harriet Washington. "There are things that are happening now that will keep [African Americans] from going to the hospital."
We've all heard of the Tuskegee syphilis experiment and how black men were allowed to languish and spread this fatal disease in the name of medical research -- without their knowledge or permission.
In her recently released book, 'Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present,' Harriet A. Washington painstakingly documents how blacks -- whether it's slave women unwillingly having gynecological experiments done on them or artificial blood being used in inner city hospitals -- have been dehumanized and often brutalized by a profession which takes an oath to heal.
Unfortunately, Tuskegee was not an anomaly.
It's no coincidence, Washington explains, that blacks do not seek medical care until "the pain is too much" often forsaking preventative care because of stories like these or blatant disrespect at the hands of doctors...Read More

The Black Panther Party
(originally called the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense) was an African American organization founded to promote civil rights and self-defense. It was active within the United States in the late 1960s into the 1970s.
Founded in Oakland, California by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale in October 1966, the organization initially espoused a doctrine calling for armed resistance to societal oppression in the interest of African American justice, though its objectives and philosophy changed radically throughout the party's existence. While the organization's leaders passionately espoused socialist doctrine, the party's black nationalist reputation attracted an ideologically diverse membership base, such that ideological consensus within the party was difficult to derive, and differing perspectives within the party base often clashed conspicuously with those of its leadership.
www.itsabouttimebpp.com/
The group was founded on the principles of its Ten-Poi
nt Program, a document that called for "Land, Bread, Housing, Education, Clothing, Justice And Peace," as well as exemption from military service that would utilize African Americans to "fight and kill for other people of color in the world who, like Black people, are being victimized by the White racist government of America."
Chairman Fred Hampton Jr of the Prisoners of Conscience Committee will be having a open public discussion wit' Black Panther Party Minister of Culture Emory Douglas about revolutionary art, the counter-intelligence program, and the history and legacy of the Black Panther Party and how it relates to the work of the POCC today. This event will take place on Tuesday, June 12th at 7pm at the Black New World, 836 Pine St., in the Bottoms of West Oakland. No one will be turned away because of lack of funds.

It All Started with the Euorpean Holocaust of Afrikan Enslavement (The Maafa)The story of the trans-Atlantic slave trade and slavery in the New World is a story of European cruelty and African suffering. The barbarity of the slave trade is attested by the slavers themselves. For example, a Dutch slave trader on the West African cost in the 18th century wrote: “’The Invalides and the Maimed being thrown out . . . the remainder are numbred. . . . In the mean while a burning Iron, with the Arms or Name of the Companies, lyes in the Fire; with which ours are marked on the Breast. . . . I doubt not but this Trade seems very barbarous to you, but since it is followed by meer necessity it must go on; but we yet take all possible care that they are not burned too hard, especially the Women’" (qtd. in MacPherson).
